Elf Forest (3)

Chapter 75: Elf Forest 3

The group is overwhelmed by the Elves, who are superior in military strength.

With her wing pierced, Piyo fell straight to the ground.

The elf in front of her regained control of his sword with both hands and raised it, ready to deliver the final blow this time.

If this continues, not only I, but Sharin, Nina and the others will also be killed. I got up from that place, prepared to die.

"Hey, I told you before that I was going to leave here. Why are you attacking more than necessary?"

The man then lowered his sword slightly.

"There's no point in showing sympathy for pests like you. Even if we let you go, they will come back in swarms."

"But adventurers don't come near here, right? We're just travelers, we just didn't know."

The man remained expressionless at my words. He looks at me as if I were looking at an animal that I can't understand.

"No matter where this strange group of a human who can't even brandish a sword and several half-beast women goes, the result will be the same. Disgusting."

I snorted and laughed at the man's story. The man raised an eyebrow at my change in attitude.

"I see, I thought elves were a noble and pure race, but I never imagined their hobby was crushing insects for fun."

I continued speaking without hesitating for a moment.

"That's like a child playing in the street. What is this, do you think a lion would be as strong as a rabbit?"

"But does that mean you would be beasts like lions? No, I would say you are better as half-beasts."

Perhaps bothered by my cheap provocation, the man's eyes trembled and he gripped his sword more tightly.

"Let me just say one thing: this idiot is getting too cocky!"

"You are the one who is giving in to that idiot's provocation. Let's calm down for a moment."

I decided to ask for forgiveness again.

"There's no point in fighting us here. I'm going to lose my companions and your pride is going to be hurt. From now on, you will never mention that you used all your strength to attack inferior beings like us. How about that?"

It hurts me to belittle my friends, but there is no other way now.

The elf then sighed and reluctantly sheathed his sword. He then mounted his horse again and returned the way he came.

The other elves followed suit and disappeared into the forest.
