Volume 2. Chapter 7 Elf Groups And The Loads Carried

On the next day. The wedding between King Ligt and Amira was held, and they both made promises to each other as proof of their loyalty.

"In this way I declare you--"

"Stop!"

Everyone in the castle heard the sound of soldiers screaming and the sound of attacks.

Mansa and Zein were helped by Erick to the source of the commotion.

"Stop there..." Mansa asked the figure not to do any further.

“This is the first time we meet, heroes.” This figure refers to Mansa and also Zein.

“Let's see how much power you two will have to stop me.”

The palace walls shook, and those in the throne room heard the screams of Zein, Mansa, and Erick who were defeated.

"Wait..." Mansa saw the figure continue its path towards the throne room.

The door to the throne room was successfully opened. They all saw the woman wearing a black mask.

"Who are you?" King Ligt had a bad feeling about this.

“Have you forgotten your master, yourself? Light.”

"Don't tell me, you..." Lina was surprised that this was the first time she saw the ancestor appear.

"Even though the world is in trouble, you all are having fun as if you didn't see the war." The ancestors were impressed with the Gerna kingdom.

"I came to congratulate you, and also Lina... as a gift I will kill you both."

“We won't let you disturb this good day, ancestor.” Vail stood in front of King Ligt and Amira.

“We won't let you.” Rii and Cini also stood up.

The atmosphere became tense, and the people there did not dare to move.

"Go away, ancestors," Amira asked the ancestors to leave the wedding.

“Haha…a stupid woman like —”

“…..” Lina and the others were surprised to see the ancestor stop the words and see the ancestor turn head outside the palace window.

“You guys are safe this time.” The Ancestors didn't want to attack. She opened the black circle and wanted to enter it.

"Wait! Do you want to run?” Rii was annoyed, they all felt sorry for her.

"Run? Did I hear correctly?” Ancestor stopped in her tracks. And the circle closes.

"My arrival wanted to put one of you three on my side..."

“But that mysterious person, I don't know where came from gave me a warning. I'm not stupid like you, but because I failed. As a gift."

“I announce, a declaration of war that will determine the fate of humanity. I will give you forty years from now to gather great power.”

“The war can be stopped if you all. Killed three hidden heroes.”

“I look forward to the good news…”

The ancestor disappeared leaving the sound of laughter slowly fading away.

Everyone who heard this was certainly surprised, this was the first time they had heard of a hero in hiding. And blame those hiding heroes.

One month later, the Union became chaotic due to a declaration from the ancestors. A mysterious voice was heard in the room they were in and told them who the three heroes were.

All the kings in the union began to open contests to kill people named Vail, Rii, and Cini in exchange for territory and titles.

"Even though this kingdom is very safe for you." Mansa felt bad.

“We can't be any more trouble than this, it's been two months since the ancestors declared war. One month later, there was no end to the assassins and spies.” Rii didn't want to involve of them any further.

“This is a problem for the three of us, we will take responsibility. Apart from that, Mansa ... we hope for your help in the future." Vail reminds Mansa of his goal of helping King Ligt.

"Zein keep practicing, we also want to rely on you," Cini asks Zein to help him.

“Alright, it's time to take them out,” Rii tells Cini and Vail.

The three of them flew towards the east and saw many people chasing them from a distance.

The next day, the village they had previously helped was visited by nobles.

“We already told you—”

The noble's subordinate hit Nhiel in the face.

“You did tell, but…all of these villagers' ties to the traitor cannot be denied.”

"You will all be killed on the charge of hiding important news about the hero who—"

"Stop!"

“King…demon king Lina?!” The nobleman was surprised to see Lina in the sky.

“If you do anything more than this, I won't hesitate to kill you all.” Lina threatened them.

"Damn...even though I could have gotten an award." The nobleman was annoyed, he was forced to leave the village.

"Let's go!"

All the noble's subordinates followed their master and left the village.

“Thank you, demon king Lina.” Nhiel was so happy with his help.

“No need for thanks, I just did what the hero asked,” Lina told him.

Two months later. Rii, Cini, and Vail are defeating adventurers who are starting to be tempted by the petition made by the United kings.

“Aah!” One of the adventurers had his arm broken by Cini.

"We only beat them, Cini, not to kill them." Rii rebuked what Cini did.

"Rii, finish your business first then you can talk." Cini saw Rii who was being chased by several people.

“Hey, catch them quickly!” One of the people who managed to tie up Vail asked his friend to immediately arrest the others.

“Instead of relying, wouldn't it be better to do it yourself?” The bound Vail made a suggestion.

"You'd better be quiet before I slash your neck—"

“If you do that, the reward will go down.” Vail reminded the person.

“That sword has magic attributes,” Cini said inwardly and was very interested in the sword.

“Vail, can you get me that sword?” Cini asked.

"You, don't you see that I'm tied up?" Vail informed him of his condition.

"Because you don't want to fight," Rii said so breathlessly.

“Haaa…it's you guys. Instead, you take care of things here.” Vail asks Cini to take out some of the people surrounding him.

“Where do the people who are caught disappear to?” The foreign man was shocked, the Vail he had tied up disappeared.

"Damn, he played with me." His eyes darted here and there in search of Vail.

"Go--"

"Go to sleep." Vail hit his back body a little hard and it made the person who tied him faint.

“This sword does have magic, but what use is this sword?” Vail snatched the sword and looked at it in detail.

Vail informed that the sword he requested had been obtained, and asked Cini and Rii to finish his business.

After defeating all the adventurers they continued their aimless journey.

“This sword has an ice attribute, it seems fitting if it has a fire attribute sword .” Cini was so happy and always looked at the sword.

“You are like my collector,” Vail complained about Cini's words.

"Vail, Cini, let's rest here," Rii informed.

“Okay, I'll look for wood. Here you—"

"I'll wait here for you guys, give me time to fantasize with this sword." Cini interrupted Vail's words.

“Alright, do whatever you want.” Vail walked away from Cini as did Rii who followed Vail.

On the other hand, a group of Elf followed them. Starting to get an opening to catch one of them.

“Chief…this is our chance.” Said one of the people in the group.

“Do it quickly before that person's friends come back.” Their group leader asked.

"Nema, can you make him not move?" The chairman asked one of her group to knock out Cini.

“I will do it…” Nema cast a spell and asked the spirit to make Cini unable to move.

"I can't wait to have— " Cini couldn't move, he fell from the rock was sitting on.

"It seems like that person isn't moving anymore," Rii informed.

“Alright, it's time to catch that guy. And save the village.” The Elf group leader informed.

"What's wrong with the village?" Vail asked.

"Don't forget our goal of hunting them, come on..."

“Aaaa!” She remembered being shocked when saw Vail beside.

“What's wrong chief? Don't shout like that." Vail was astonished by the screaming Elf woman.

"Since when did you guys exist— " The words stopped because her entire group had been defeated.

"If you ask since when we have been here since you told Nema to," Vail informed.

“Ah… finally moving again.” The spirit that locked Cini from moving had disappeared, because Nema had been asked to cancel her magic by Rii.

"You two are so cruel." Cini approached Rii and Vail.

“Guys, are you okay?” She was very caring and approached all colleagues who had been defeated.

“We're fine, chief.” Said one of the Elf men there.

"Everyone, let's go back to the village." She asked colleagues to come back, because they had failed.

"Are you ready to leave without fighting?" Cini was very surprised by the group of elves who wanted to go home because they failed to carry out their mission.

“We, will not try a second time. If our mature experiment has failed, the next one may still fail.” She said without looking back and continued the road towards the village.

“Wait, tell us what happened to your village,” Vail asked one of them to tell.

Nema told them about the problems their village was facing, namely the food crisis and almost nothing they could do.

“Is it okay to let them go, Sela?”

“Xein, we already lost before we started. So there is no goal anymore, now we only focus on village problems," Sela said and asked Xein to focus on their village problems.

They arrived at the village, and the door to their village began to open. They were surprised by the sound of Cini winning the bet.

"Where's the betting money?" Cini cries to Vail and Rii.

"Since when are you here?" Sela was so surprised.

“Why is the cheif always angry? We've been on board since one of you finished explaining the situation.” Cini told and complained to Sela who was angry.

"Just ask them,"

“Sister, they have been with us since this afternoon. We thought sister already knew about it and let them come along.” Nema told.

"So, can we come in?" Rii wanted to ask permission from them.

"Of course, you can't." Sela answered so annoyed.

“Well, we have been rejected by the villagers we wanted to help. Come on everyone, let's go.” Cini said in a joking voice.

"Sister..." Nema tried to convince her sister.

“You guys are annoying me, wait here. I will talk to the elders.” Sela was very annoyed with Cini's attitude and way of speaking.
