Chapter 132 (2/2)

I killed another group of monsters and walked farther into the Deht, but it was as bright as day for me

After I walked another 30from in front of me

Duuuuuuuuu- Duuuuuuuuu-

It was the sound of stones grinding against each other, kind of like a millstone

I thought of so as soon as I heard the noise

‘Stone Elves!’

I lowered my presence and continued to walkThey should not be able to seeStealthy Approach

After walking another 50m, I was able to see the cause of the noise as soon as I turned a corner that was e boulder

It was definitely Stone Elves

They seeht, so not very tall

However, they seeranite

Stone Elves were created with Spirit Energy [Natural Power], so they wereexistence(TL: Author put Spirit Energy, but I think it should be Natural Power (asNatural Power instead of Spirit Energy from here on)

There seemed to be about 30 of them

There seemed to be about 30 of them

These Stone Elves were lined up by the wall and see to be stiff like statues, but that did not seem to be the case

However, they were unable to move as they pleasedIt looked like theirforceEither that, or they were lacking in energy and could only move their arm or their wrist

‘I just need to put some Natural Power in them’

But I needed to get close to do thatI needed to directly touch the ball of light onto the Stone Elves for the Natural Power to be transferred

‘Are they the guards?’

There were two guards walking back and forth and keeping watch on the Stone Elves

On first glance, they seeure

The only difference was that their faces looked a bit differentThey had streaks going either vertical or horizontal on their faces as if they earing face paint

I had seen soame

‘Dark Elves!’

Thy seemed small and weak, but they were all at least level 450Some Dark Elves were even over level 500

They were also very experienced with fighting that they could easily take on a human of the same levelEven Dwarves would probably find it difficult to hunt a Dark Elf of the same level

Long story short, I could not take this lightly

‘What to do about them’

I ht have a chance if there were monsters nearby to use as fodder for combo, but a 1:1 battle was a bad idea

Iwas that the chances of losing was her

I only had one option

I needed to lure the Dark Elves elsewhere before quickly reviving the Stone ElvesI would be able to suppress them with the help of the Stone Elves

I started to calculate my movements

‘AlrightLet’s go!’

I first used Stealthy Approach to get closerIf I succeeded, I would be able to kill one of the them away

However

“What is that?”

“Intruder!”

UnbelievableThere was still about 20 Stealthy Approach in pitch darkness, which er

Hoere they able to spot me so easily?

The following situation was not very good eitherI needed both of them to approach me to find an opportunity to reach the Stone Elves, but one of them remained in place while the other one stepped forward

“I will get him!”

Tatat!

“I will get him!”

Tatat!

The Dark Elf seeround but instantly closed the 20ht in front of me

I had no choice but to be shockedIt wasmuch faster than I expected

It also looked very strong that I definitely felt like I could not win a 1:1 fight

Thankfully, htly fasterThe Dark Elf’s weapon was also a pretty large and heavy longsword, affecting its speed

I could at least keepon dodging

Swish-

Each swing of the Dark Elf’s longsword cut through the air with a loud noise

And every tied it like an eel

The Dark Elf became shocked at my movement

“This bastard is quick!”

“Change your weapon!”

That was the other elf’s suggestionThe one that was attacking sword to the side and took out a blade from its side

It was a pretty sht falchion

Swish-

Its attack became much sharperIt could attack at least a half step quicker than it could with the longsword

At the sath of the attack was about the sale attack could put er

However, the situation did not changeIt was because there was quite the gap between the Dark Elf and h the Dark Elf’s attack was a half-step quicker than before,was still a half step quicker than this attack

“You stupid eel-like bastardAll you kno to do is dodgeHey! Hurry up and help me!”

That was exactly what I wantedI would use the opening to wake the Stone Elves

However, the Dark Elves were not that stupid

“Then the Stone Elves will becoerousUse a different method”

“Which one?”

Maybe this one was dumb while that one was sy

I really wanted to shut that one up but this one’s attack was so dangerous that I could not approach the other one

This allowed the other elf to share its plan

But that plan actually seemed to be one that would benefit me

“Call the monsters as reinforcementYou in if you can restrict his movement”

The ele and started to pointI could see a large stone structure in the distanceIt was about 500m awayIt felt like it was an Inca pyramid that was hidden in the mountainsWhy did we stop here It is difficult to approach froainst the Deth is getting stronger, so we cannot approach unless we break through this barrierI could not understand itThis was the Peria Mountains, the land of the fairiesSo how could there be a spot that was controlled by the De Where is it I couldn t see itThere was no such thing visible in front of meHowever, I could feel the barrier that the ele about when I walked forward a few more stepsI could not e and invisible balloon was pushi+ng th of the barrier at the starting point was this strong, it was probably er closer to the altarI could lose my life if I just try to force h this barrier The source of the power supporting the De s barrier is the Demonic RelicYou must enter the Deain to where the eleI could see the Demon Cave entranceIt was sh leveled monstersWouldn t it be possible to clear the Demon Cave if the Peria worked with the elves Why have you not done so yet We have tried to clear this Demon Cave many timesHowever, all of it ended up in failure because our strength weakens significantly once we enter the Demon CaveIt made sense since a Demon Cave was completely different than the outside worldIt was pretty si because of divine poere just baggage once they entered the Demon Cave where divine poas uselessThis Demon Cave seemed to restrict both divine power and the fairy powerFurtherer allowed to enterI believe they have captured the fairies who tried to clear it and used their powers to strengthen the barrier even furtherThat is why the only thing we can do right now is to make sure that the barrier on the fairy s side does not break when the demons attackBut even that fails quite oftenJust how strong were the monsters inside this cave Based on the elemental s story, it sounded like I needed to clear this Demon Cave to approach the Altar of the SunHowever, it sounded almost impossible to doBut the elemental suddenly offered an unexpected propositionPlease help us take the demonic relic and destroy itThen the fairy nim as well as all of the existence who share her bloodline will consider Kang Hwi Ram nim to be their friendThat was followed by a voice inQuestPlease enter the Demon Cave and find the Demonic RelicIf you successfully deliver the Demonic Relic to the fairy, your friendliness with the fairies will increase by 500Friendliness with the fairies increasing by 500 It ht not seem likerewardIt was because Jewel Alchemy automatically increased in level when my friendliness with the fairies went upI quickly opened my skillJewel Alchemy Inter level probably because I freed the elemental spiritsIf my friendliness raises by another 500,the advanced levelAdvanced Jewel Alche that level wasjewels very wellIt will allow me to use Jewels of Fortification to add some fairy power into my equipmentOnce I do that, I will be able to communicate with the fairy power inside the equipmentSo, if I could communicate with the fairy power I i One with the SwordIt is step one in the things I want to achieve in Royal Roader I guessBut the question hether it was possibleIf I get greedy without having the skills to back it up, I could easily die in the Deo into the Deather some of the elves to help you outThey are all currently imprisoned insideIn other words, rescue the elves inside the Demon Cave and have them help me outBut it will not be easy since the fairy power is not very strong inside the De so muchThe elemental must have read ather rainwater, closed her eyes, and started to gather energy frosThe elemental s prayer ended in about 5 ht to mePlease take itIt will help you out inside the Demon CaveThe inforhtNatural Power The source of life for the elves and the ele giftHow do I use this Eley is not very useful inside the Demon Cave, but Natural Power is not affectedIf you put some of the natural power into the Stone Elves that were created by nature, they will be able to help you outPlease use this Natural Power to awaken the sleeping Stone ElvesAh Stone Elves You could call them the Stone Golem of the ElvesThey are smaller and weaker than Stone Goleher, so they should be able to help oodHowever, you will need to sacrifice the elementals or elves you free in order to do thatI didn t really care about whether I sacrificed the was an optionI would get a large reward if I succeeded, and I could at least save my own life if I failedIn addition, I also had the Unicorn s Horn Flute as wellI want to save it as a hidden ace if possible, but this was too good of an opportunity to let goI finallyit for a whileI understandI can t just go back after coo into the Demon Cave and destroy the De stages were easy as I expectedI only found monsters around level 150There were some monsters close to level 300 every so often, but I didn t have any issues so farIn fact, it felt a bit too easyAt least for nowI killed another group of monsters and walked farther into the Deht, but it was as bright as day for meAfter I walked another 30from in front ofagainst each other, kind of like
