FFF-Class Trashero

[11th Round] I Love You, Master!

The elves, who woke up after hearing the noises caused by spirits who misunderstood the song’s lyrics, rushed out of the house. And as the lyrics say, they found a real human hero.

Mostly the reactions were:

“It’s human.”

“It’s a real human being.”

“His ears are round.”

“He has a lot of muscle.”

“I’ve never seen a human before.”

It was as if they had found a strange carnivore. This was because most of the elves had never been out of the kingdom due to the closed policies of the Elf King. Although they each had youthful appearances, they were over hundreds of years old. However, their experiences in the world were less than that of a ten-year-old human child.

Curiosity, fear. Two broadly divided eyes looked at me. But it wasn’t for long.

“The spirits are going crazy!”

“Hey, what a bolt out of the blue is this?”

“Calm down, friend! Calm- kugh?!”

The spirits who didn’t want to be kicked away from my body started attacking the witnesses. The elves here were helpless. Their abilities were the problem.

It changed like this. Spirit and Blessing, which were the only fighting skills of most elves, were missing. So far, those two alone enabled them to ride out most crises, but this time it was the other way around. The two skills attacked the elves relentlessly.

As I expected, the elves were reduced to nothing more than moving scarecrows.

“Hey, bury them while leaving the head behind.”

The elves didn’t expose their fangs to me, nor did I come to conquer the Elf Kingdom. I just came to meet the First Spirit in secret.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

The sound of shoveling could be heard everywhere. It meant that the spirits, having accepted my order, stopped tormenting the elves mercilessly and began to bury them in the ground. The elves were stuck in the ground like stakes.

There were only a few elves who escaped by taking advantage of their high levels. Even if their level was high, they had no Muscular Strength Skill to amplify. These were the elf race who entrusted their work to the spirits.

“Unfamiliar human. Enough with the violence and stop it.”

At this time, there was a group of people blocking my way. A young man at the forefront warned me by pulling out the Spirit Sword Endymion, the third hidden treasure of the Elf Kingdom. I knew very well who this elf was.

“Prince Nasus…”

Commonly known as Mid-Boss. It was hard to feel the majesty of the Mid-Boss after the 2nd playthrough when I was able to use the Black Box. However, the nightmare started to come back to life due to the peculiarity of the entrance exam.

Even though I had vaguely guessed it from the time Sword King Alex used his Heart Sword, Prince Nasus’s abilities were also at a level with nothing holding it back. Even he had the Spirit Skill left. As if to prove it, some spirits were following him like loyal subordinates. However, the faces of the spirits were engulfed in conflict and anguish.

Anyway, I felt it in my gut. This man was the real deal. His lieutenant, Elf A, was equally astonishing.

In the past, only her breasts were scary, but now her ability surpassed that of a MAX-Class Hero. Prince Nasus wasn’t accompanied by only a big-breasted lieutenant, though. Knights defending the Elf Kingdom stood behind them. Only those who didn’t use spirits from among the elite had been brought in.

Quantity and quality. A situation unfavorable both ways. It had been a long time since I felt an inferiority complex.

“Is it because of you that the spirits run amok?”

“The spirits who found the wild elves threatening me showed excessive loyalty.”

“If it were a human country, we would apologize, but this is an elf country. The act of discovering and threatening strangers is considered a legitimate response. If you have dignity, please disclose your purpose for visiting this country and disarm yourself.”

As expected, it was a manly speech full of the king’s qualities. This time, I couldn’t think of anything to say or respond to. If it had been Princess Sylvia instead of Prince Nasus, she would have given me an excuse first by shouting, “Kill that filthy human!”

This prince wasn’t that stupid. He pressured me with the theory. However, I also had no intention of disarming myself in this way. This was because I trust Prince Nasus, but I didn’t trust the incumbent Elf King, whose hatred of humanity had reached its peak.

I don’t know what harm he would attempt on me. That was why I had only one choice.

“My purpose is to rescue the First Spirit imprisoned in the basement of the royal palace. Prince Nasus, if you know about righteousness and cooperation, do not stand in my way.”

“…No one will step back, huh?”

“So you already know?”

“Unfamiliar human. I’d like to ask how you know the secret, but I’ll put it off until we’ve subdued you. I need to hear who knows other than you…huh? How come…?”

I raised the corner of my lips and grinned. I was just attacked by a surprise attack with the Prince’s Heart Sword. However, the crowned Mind Spirit covered me just like the time with Alex. The Swordsmanship ZZZ effect was useless on me.

However, the situation still wasn’t favorable. As soon as he realized that the Heart Sword didn’t work, Prince Nasus, changing tactics, leaped to me and drew his Spirit Sword vertically. I responded to it with the Holy Sword Nucleon.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

…I was in a hurry to block. There was no time for other thoughts to squeeze in. Blocking Prince Nasus’s Heart Sword didn’t reduce his actual skill, which reached Level ZZZ. It was a miracle that I, who stopped at Swordsmanship MAX, endured like this.

“Are you a human?”

Prince Nasus, his surprise attack failed, took a step back and asked me. He had the upper hand in Swordsmanship, but I was overwhelmingly superior in physical ability. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that I endured it with high reflexes and a good weapon. I answered honestly to confuse him.

“No. And thank you for giving me time to think.”

I didn’t have to fight alone. I had only dealt with Prince Nasus for a while, but from now on, I would be fighting some powerful lowly fellows, including Elf A. I also needed reinforcements. The power of friendship?

No. This was the power of domination. Weapons that could attack and mercilessly kill family and loved ones if I ordered them to.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

I summoned the four old spirits. They, who could see their opponents’ abilities like me, were astonished to see Prince Nasus and Elf A.

“Were Transcendent beings so common…?”

“Swordsmanship Level ZZZ? That’s crazy…”

“Master? This could be a bit dangerous, right?”

“Is this the place I used to know…?”

I didn’t listen to the complaints of those whose names I couldn’t even remember. I hope that the seniors who ruled the galaxy would act like trusted subordinates. Surely they wouldn’t be defeated by the minions of one kingdom, would they?

“Indeed…I was wondering why you were going to save the First Spirit, but you were a very talented shaman.”

“Shaman? That’s disappointing. I’m not finished yet.”

I summoned Saint H and Green Cake. The saint showed off her absolute beauty in front of elves who thought they were beautiful even though they were as flat as LCD monitors. And a green baby dragon who wasn’t yet five years old and boasted a much larger size than an adult.

The two spread their wings and covered the sky.

“Is it the Elf Kingdom?”

“Greeee-!”

The best power I could pull out right now. Of course, it was also a gathering crowd who would be easily cut down by Prince Nasus if I were careless.

But the same went for my opponent. Except for Prince Nasus, the lowly fellows, including the lieutenant Elf A, were nothing more than lumps of experience.

“Holy angel and a giant dragon? What the hell are you…?”

“I’m a hero.”

I gave a brief answer to Prince Nasus’s question. He looked sorrowful.

“…I see. The heroes of all time have had a strange fantasy and infinite favor about our elf race, but this hero who approached the truth is different. Haha! If we kill the hero, the world will perish, but if we keep him alive, the elves will perish, right? Hero, please. Can’t you turn a blind eye to the truth? Elves are an inferior race that cannot live without spirits. Please do me a favor.”

“Tell that to the First Spirit.”

“I’ll respectfully serve you and talk to you again later.”

The peaceful conversation ended there. Still, hadn’t the prince’s ultimate goal of evacuating innocent citizens in this time been accomplished?

“With all due respect to the great prince.”

Otherwise, my neck might be cut through in the blink of an eye.

Level 14049 → Level 13000 Level

Miscellaneous heroic spirits that live and breathe forever in my heart. Give me strength!

*

It was a very fierce battle. My victory, which I reached by temporarily boosting my abilities dozens of times by consuming experience, was nothing short of a fact. Still, I couldn’t defeat the strongest power of the Elf Kingdom without any sacrifices.

“Please, be merciful…”

Prince Nasus, whose heart was pierced by the Holy Sword Nucleon, left his will as I recovered the spoils of experience.

Level 8000 → Level 12281

But the experience was very poor. Prince Nasus had also set fire to his experience to counter my amplification. He fought with a determination to win, using the Overpower skill. It was a skill that Prince Nasus didn’t originally have but it was likely something he learned on his own during the battle as soon as he was put at a disadvantage. Then he relentlessly used the Level F ineffective skills.

This was the result.

“Even if you win, you lose!”

My level had decreased slightly from before the start of the battle. The damage didn’t stop there, either. Spirit B and Spirit D were killed by the pincer attack of Elf A and the lowly fellows. However, I couldn’t remember who they were, so I decided to seek the help of Miss Trainee Teacher.

Miss Trainee Teacher?

▶ Commentary: Spirit B’s true identity is Silerion, the Sword Star. He is the elf warrior that Cadet Kang Han-soo defeated on Earth. He is also the brother of Silesia, the elf who watches over the First Spirit. Spirit D’s name is Cyriel. She is the daughter of Archangel Viruel, who is said to have sworn allegiance to the First Hero.

All right, I’ll pray for your happiness in the next life! But there was no need to recall their personal information. Like most spirits, even if they died in the material world, I thought they would resurrect over time, but they didn’t.

When they die, it’s over! This was because they were absorbed by the other spirits.

Spirit A + Spirit B = Spirit A+

Spirit C + Spirit D = Spirit C +

…Like this. Was it because my spirit attribute was human? The spirit union, like a recycling center, had great potential.

Let’s hear from Spirit A, who has become extremely strong.

“It’s creepy. I am certainly the Dark Prince Boris, but Silerion’s knowledge and experience are pouring in. My ears also become pointed like an elf…but I don’t know what to do. What comes to mind is the time he spent with his wife….”

“Erase it from your head right now, Prince Boris. If you don’t want to be purified♪.”

Spirit C, who was the wife of the deceased Spirit B, smiled. Although she had a sinister, murderous smile, it was clear that she felt good at the moment.

Fluttering, fluttering~.

It is thanks to inheriting the superior body of Spirit D, who was an angel. To her, a pure-blooded elf, raising her abilities seemed like a trivial gain.

Her ability had improved too much to be dismissed as a lowly fellow like before. Wouldn’t demons and human men alike melt away just by looking at her swaying fruit?

I alternated between looking at the two spirits. Then, I decided.

“…Boris.”

“Oh! What happened to make you call my name correctly?”

“I am so sorry.”

“What-?”

Snap!

Instead of answering, I snapped my finger.

It was said that when tigers died, they left their hides, and when humans died, they left their names. Boris, I will never forget your sacrifice.

“Spirit C. From today on, you are Boris. Tell me if you don’t like it because it sounds like a man’s name.”

“Oh, it can be that! I love you, Master!”

Burying the sorrow of parting in my heart, the MAX-Class Hero advanced to the only butcher in the Elf Kingdom capital!
