75 – You must never provoke the Kamps (6)

It was not difficult to take off the masks one by one.

It was a problem because I had to do it hundreds of times. Besides, too much time has passed. I’ve been doing this for over 30 minutes. So, the cooldown is about 1 hour.

Of course, since it’s 1.9X, the cooldown itself will be shorter. It was comfortable to think of it as an hour. Anyway, after taking off the mask, I flicked my index and middle fingers to release the stop.

The masked elves looked around with puzzled expressions. I cheered inwardly. It was worth taking off the robe just in case.

“Hey, where is this place?”

“What is that tree?!”

“Attack! Avoid everyone!!”

The reactions of the elves were varied. But once, no elves attacked the tree. I knew that the elves worshiped trees more than necessary.

In the sudden situation, Amelie looked around her for the first time with her relaxed expression. Soon, her eyes met mine. I slowly took off the mask.

“The leader of the Royal Knights…!!!”

“I heard your values well, Amelie.”

“How the heck?! That imprint cannot be removed by one’s own power once it is struck!?”

“There is no absolute in this world.”

Somewhere in the middle of the day, I roughly responded with a drip I thought. Then Amelie groaned and stepped back behind her. But they’re not the ones to just let it go.

I didn’t even have to step out. Even if it’s not me, there are two other people he has business with. The first to move was Cluna.

Cluna leaped and closed the distance in an instant, then shot an arrow. Amelie, who evaded the rapidly approaching arrow, burst into laughter and tried to respond. She overlooked

“You tricked me?!”

“Huh?!”

The fact that Clara is also a member of the Royal Knights. Of course, I admit that Amelie is a great knight. However, it is her fault that she did not care about Clara.

Just negligible. Clara isn’t that weak. Amelie, who was instantly subdued by Clara and Cluna, was unable to do anything, only screaming at her.

“Let go of this! I have to catch it and offer it right now!”

“Stop it, Amelie! Why can’t you just give up?!”

“Because it’s better than dying.”

“Do you think you can get over this situation with those words?”

“No, but I mean it. Cluna.”

I felt that Amelie was sincere. The idea that she would sacrifice her others for the sake of her comrades, her friends. I certainly understand. It is wrong for her to sacrifice innocent people.

“At this point you should know what to do.”

“……I have already prepared myself, Captain.”

“What are you talking about? What are you going to do?”

“No way, are you really going to kill that thing?”

Unlike Clara, who knows nothing. Cluna had already made up her mind. Amelie realized what that meant and was horrified. It’s a natural reaction. Because it’s like killing God.

“If you kill that thing, you won’t be able to maintain the forest after all…!!!”

Puck!!

“I fainted for a moment, Captain.”

“Yes, yes. Good job.”

It seems like there are a lot of things piled up. It was Cluna who immediately fainted without asking or questioning. Well, even if it was me, I would have acted like Cluna. No, I would have done more.

Because he brainwashed and manipulated his only daughter and other innocent elves. I turned my head. The World Tree that was attacked by Cluna continues to wriggle.

It seems that he has no intelligence. To put it bluntly, it resembled a beast. The feeling that if you don’t touch it, it won’t attack you? Thanks to that, I had a bit of leeway. I opened my mouth.

“Clara, take Amelie to town.”

“But then the captain and mother…!!”

“It’s okay, Clara. I’ll explain everything later.”

“……You must explain everything!!”

Clara bit her lip. She put Amelie on her back and she quickly left the spot. She is not a child She is a member of the Royal Knights. Of course you know.

The fact that it is the best in the current situation. I turned my head again. I saw a huge, tainted tree stained purple. After all, would it have been better for me to have fallen for Clara?

“I don’t know how to repay this favor, Captain.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“No, without the captain. I probably would have had to choose one or the other.”

“…….”

“And then, I would have regretted that choice for the rest of my life. Even knowing that I couldn’t help it.”

Perhaps Cluna chose her daughter. However, she must have been tormented by her guilt as she thought of the elves who died because of that choice. Because Cluna is that kind of elf. I chuckled.

“So now all that’s left is how to do that.”

“I have a way.”

“Is there a way?”

“Yes, because I’ve been thinking about how to deal with that for a long time.”

“I see, then where should I listen?”

Cluna has been used since ancient times to treat the polluted World Tree. She has been preparing for a long time, she says. And she said she finally realized the way. Fortunately out of misfortune

I wondered what would happen if I headed straight to the ground from the start. I heard about the operation from Cluna. So, to sum it up in one word. I have to buy time.

Then, in the meantime, Cluna, who has finished her preparations, completely destroys her polluted world tree. In a way, it is a simple operation. Except for one problem. I screamed in fright.

“Am I trying to get attention by myself?”

“Yes, only the captain can do this.”

“Is it possible only for me?”

“Yes, it was a daunting task for me too.”

An elf who has lived for hundreds of years says it is a daunting task. That was also the first hero’s colleague, Cluna herself. But do you want me to do that? Clara! Please come back soon!

“When I start drawing the magic circle, it will feel threatened and will attack. So, Captain, please be the threat first.”

To put it in a word, it was a call to see me and pull aggro.

S, what should I do? I don’t want to do it too much. I have to do it. f*ck.

* * *

The lives of the innocent and the lives of their families. Of course, the scales are bound to tip towards the latter. However, the guilt of sacrificing others for the sake of my family will probably remain and haunt me for the rest of my life.

But even so, Cluna would have chosen the latter. Because the only remaining treasure in this world was Clara. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel disgusted with myself.

Fortunately, out of misfortune, she didn’t have to make that choice. It’s all thanks to the leader. The moment she was put in a situation where she had to choose between the two, Cluna came to her senses at the sound of her voice that shattered that despair.

At that moment, all she could see was her eyes. It is the figure of the elves throwing off all their masks and robes. Unless you’re an idiot, in that situation where you can only see that the leader used his hand…….

Cluna instinctively moved her body. She quickly approached her Amelie and tried to subdue her. Although Cluna was several orders of magnitude better than Amelie when it came to her pure combat abilities.

Because Amelie wasn’t such an easy opponent either. The process of subduing her would be cumbersome, she thought. However, Cluna, who was right next to her, unexpectedly ambush Amelie.

Thanks to her, she was able to subdue Amelie without difficulty. She just thought she was a child. Did she now become a member of the Knights? Cluna smiled bitterly.

Children will someday become independent from their parents.

I already knew that.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

So, as her parents. And as the same elf comrades. I want my children to live in a better world. Even if it means sacrificing this life. Still, it didn’t matter.

A body that has already lived for a long time. I didn’t want to live this long life any longer by sacrificing the lives of young sprouts. I bump into my everything, and if it doesn’t work, I sacrifice it after that.

However, the reason she couldn’t realize the already completed theory was simple. She left that little thing behind and she couldn’t possibly die. But now I have the courage. No longer a child

She has become a decent knight, and she has reliable colleagues by her side. It’s still early, but this is enough. That day, when she received the letter. She was clearly so determined.

“So now all that’s left is how to do that.”

“I have a way.”

“Is there a way?”

“Yes, because I’ve been thinking about how to deal with that for a long time.”

“I see, then where should I listen?”

The captain is such a person. He is a person who gives hope just by being by his side. Because I feel the nostalgia of the past in his appearance. For the first time, Cluna had such a thought.

Survive until the end.

I want to keep an eye on the leader’s path.

“Am I trying to get attention by myself?”

“Yes, only the captain can do this.”

“Is it possible only for me?”

“Yes, it was a daunting task for me too.”

The captain turned his head without a word. And he walked forward. Even though the back view was obviously unattractive. I feel reassured like Taesan. Clara drew a magic circle.

It’s time to put an end to all evil.
