I raise elves in Florian

In the village.

Shutark and Gennau stayed here.

"I caught a fish, how about we have it for a midnight snack?"

Shutark, carrying a fish weighing several pounds, asked Gainau about it. There happened to be a small river nearby, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to go fishing. To his surprise, he caught a fish right away.

"I don't need it. Metodai would be angry if she knew, saying that eating late-night snacks is bad for your health."

Gainau looked at the fish in Shutark's hand, thought about it and decided against it, lest he be scolded by Metold. He didn't know why, but Celia insisted on pairing him with Metold.

"Really? Then I'll eat it myself."

Shutark skewered the prepared fish with twigs, added some seasoning, and then grilled it over a fire.

"Don't tell Philon."

Suddenly remembering something, Hugh Tarek turned around and said to Gennau with a serious expression, not wanting to be lectured by Philon.

"Ah."

Although Gainau didn't understand, he nodded to Shutark, indicating that he wouldn't tell Philon.

"Gena, do you know what kind of demons attacked the village?"

Shutark asked Gainau.

"Yes, I do know that there are very few demons in the entire demon race who can use the four-sword style. The divine skill, Lefeldi, is what killed my partner."

When talking about this demon race, Gainau's hands clenched tightly.

"What an exaggerated title!"

This was the first time Hugh Tarek had heard of such an exaggerated title, even more exaggerated than the Seven Sages' title. He just didn't know how much difference there was between their strengths.

"The name comes from the four swords it forged with magic, which can freely control the weight of the swords, sometimes heavier than a rock, sometimes lighter than a feather, and are incredibly sharp."

Based on the sword that shattered a giant mountain in mythical times, its sword is called "Divine Skill Shattering Sword".

Gennau told Shutark about the divine skill Lefoldi, but he didn't know if the demon that appeared in the village was Lefoldi. Gennau remembered his partner's death.

"A sword that is both light and sharp, yet incredibly heavy?"

This was the first time Hugh Tarek had ever heard of such a peculiar weapon—a sword whose weight could change according to its own will.

"It sounds contradictory, right? But magic can create substances that don't exist in this world, especially weapons made with magic, which are practically a collection of killing intent."

After creating their weapons, the demons would slaughter humans indiscriminately, almost as if testing their weapons, endlessly massacring them.

As soon as Gainau finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong. This aura was that of a demon.

"Shutark".

Gennau reminded Shutark to prepare for battle, because the demons were coming.

“I sensed it too. It must be the enemy! Shi Yichen said that there are no humans left in this village.”

Shutark picked up his axe from behind his back and looked ahead warily, but he was still a little nervous. After all, the Knights of Norm, who were much stronger than him, had all died at the hands of the demons, let alone him.

"So fast! It's coming!"

Gennau was ready for battle. Although Shutark was nervous, he gripped his axe and stepped in front of Gennau. This was what the vanguard should do: no matter who the enemy was or how strong they were, the vanguard had to stand in front of the mage.

"Bang!!!"

A demon with a human body, a snake tail, and four swords attacked. Fortunately, Shutark and Genau dodged quickly, otherwise they would have been seriously injured by that attack.

"One is a level one mage, and the other is a warrior."

Although the human-bodied, snake-tailed demon is blind, its senses are exceptionally strong, allowing it to easily detect the movements of Gennau and Shutark.

"As I predicted, there are still people protecting this village."

Refriger held four swords and looked at the two people in front of him. Although there was only one level one mage, it was enough. After killing these two, he would kill the others. This was all part of his plan.

"It's Reifeldi."

Gainau looked at the demon who had killed his partner and spoke to Shutark.

"That's it."

Shutalc looked at the four swords in Reifeldi's hand. It seemed that it was the one that killed the Knights of Norm, and it was a powerful demon.

“You all seem to know me! Especially that first-level mage over there, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before, tell me your name.”

Reveldi pointed four swords at Ganau and Shutark and said, "Of course, whether it is true or not, the ending is the same. These two will definitely die at my hands."

"Here it comes, Shutark. Don't take its slash head-on. If you take this hit directly, you might be shattered."

Before the battle, Gainau gave Shutark some instructions. Although he said that Shutark was too kind and wouldn't live long, he didn't want Shutark to die like that.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to sign your name?"

Referdi spoke to Ganau with an arrogant expression.

When you're expelling pests, do you name them one by one?

Gainau looked at Reifard with disdain. Why would he listen to the words of this human-bodied, snake-tailed demon? He wished he could kill Reifard right now.

"What a twisted understanding. We can clearly communicate through language. However, if you don't want to communicate, then let me drive away the pests too."

As he spoke, Referdi launched an attack on Gennau and Shutark.

"Bang bang bang!"

Four longswords were wielded rapidly in Reifeldi's hands, but each attack caused massive damage, which may be what Ganau meant when he said that sometimes the swords were heavier than rocks.

"If I don't take its attacks, how am I supposed to fight it?"

While dodging Reifeldi's attacks, Hughtar asked Gennau, "If we keep going on like this, we're doomed to lose."

"You're a warrior too, so you must know the technique of neutralizing attacks by following their force, right?"

As Gainau dodged Reifeldi's attacks, he spoke to Shutark.

"Then I won't be able to protect you."

Shutark parried Reifeldi's attack, using force to neutralize force and deflecting Reifeldi's powerful attack.

"There's no need to protect me. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite skilled in close combat. It's not only the magic of the demon race that can create substances that don't exist in this world."

"Black Gold Wings Magic"

As he spoke, Gennau used his own magic, which he had obtained from Celia after becoming a first-class mage. The black and gold wings he created were comparable to the longsword created by Lefeldi.
