Blood Elf Monarch

Chapter 8 - Blood Elf

After landing, facing the orcs and being surrounded by the hordes, Captain Siegfried was unafraid. He and his men had undergone hundreds of different missions in all kinds of scenarios, making their squad one of the elite troops of the space knights. Not even once did they ever feel afraid.

Even in the most desperate of situations, where uncertainty engulfed them and all hope seemed lost, they always remained clear headed and focused.

However, this time, in this place, the captain felt a terrible premonition when he saw the elf's body slowly stepping out of the tube filled with blood. The feeling rapidly submerged him, letting him know the figure in front of them was very dangerous.

He was very confident in his instincts that had saved him countless times.

The elf had long and lustrous white hair that reached its back and a slender frame, but beneath the tight black clothes he was wearing, one could clearly see that his entire body was filled with compact muscles.

A group of goblins were seen approaching the elf, while carrying a giant sword. This was followed by a hysterical laugh from Cursaac, the Goblin Scientist.

"Kekeke! This will be a very entertaining spectacle!" shouted Cursaac. He then shifted his gaze towards the space knights and said, "Blood elf! Brandish your sword and slaughter them all! Grace yourself with the blood of those humans!"

Hearing the goblin's order, the figure slowly took the giant sword from the goblins' hands, then walked forward, approaching Captain Siegfried and his men.

"Get ready!"

The soldiers quickly arranged themselves when they heard the instruction. The captain raised his hand and pointed to one of his soldiers. Seeing the signal, the chosen soldier immediately fired his weapon.

BANG!

An electromagnetic-augmented energy bullet immediately zoomed towards the elf and hit its chest.

BOOM!

The elf was pushed back a step and paused for a moment when he received the shot, but after a moment, he continued forward, dragging the giant sword behind him as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the unbelievable sight, where the figure continued to advance, unharmed by the energy bullet, another shot was immediately fired. But this time, the elf suddenly moved and avoided the shot with a simple sidestep.

"Heed my orders, soldiers! For the empire!" Captain Siegfried shouted, immediately deploying all seven of his soldiers to simultaneously attack the elf, since one person was unable to do the job.

A shower of bullets quickly appeared and submerged the elf, but he did not stay still. It moved quickly, dodging most of the shots with quick movements and parried the remaining bullets with the giant sword.

One of the soldiers couldn't help but curse loudly when he saw it move left and right like an apparition , dodging and blocking bullets with ease, "Damn it! It's moving too fast!"

Seeing the creature getting closer and closer, Captain Siegfried shouted, "Sergeant!"

The sergeant, who was busy firing his weapon, immediately took out a giant weapon from his ring as soon as he heard the captain call him. Eyeing the figure, Captain Siegfried said, "Aim!"

When the giant weapon had locked its target, the captain immediately said, "Fire!"

BOOM! *whizz*

A one meter long missile sliced through the air towards the lean figure. The elf tried to move and dodge the missile as did with the bullets. Unfortunately for him, the missile followed its movement and chased its figure.

KABOOM!!!.

The elf was flung back several feet as the missile landed on its body. The figure rolled several meters on the ground, before it stopped and lay flat on the ground, motionless. Due to the huge explosion, smoke enveloped the area and dust scattered in all directions, obscuring the view.

"Yeah!!! It hit!" exclaimed one of the soldiers.

The four squad members, who used melee weapons, approached the body, while the other three proceeded to cast their gazes on the orcs, who were still surrounding them in the distance.

When the four people entered the smoke and got closer, they could see the white-haired elf was completely covered in wounds and blood. His body staggered as the elf was trying to stand up.

"He is still alive!? Impossible!"

"You should just stay dead!" said one of the fighters as he raised his javelin and darted towards the elf.

The space knight rushed forward and thrust his javelin towards the elf, who was still staggering. The javelin pierced straight through the elf's shoulder and froze its movement. Seeing that, the soldier smiled and said, "I got him."

As soon as the soldier turned his head and let his guard down slightly to display his successful attack, the elf grabbed the javelin. Surprised by the sudden movement, the soldier turned back and was shocked by the sight in front of him.

A giant sword was descending towards him.

The man could only watch as his body, which was cladded in power armor, was sliced in half by the sword.

Spllaattt!!

"FUCK! That thing killed Private Ruski!"

The sight of their friend's body being split in two and his blood splattering violently on the ground shocked the other three.

"What is that thing?!"

"How is it not dead yet?!"

The other three space knights rushed in and simultaneously attacked the elf. One of them approached him and then fired his handguns, while the other two swung their blades at the elf's head.

Clank! Clank!

Loud sounds resounded as the elf parried and counterattacked the soldiers' blow by blow using his giant sword.

The elf swung the heavy-looking sword around with ease, as if it was a feather instead of a large piece of metal. On the other hand, the three soldiers struggled to land a strike even though it was a three against one situation.

The impact of their weapons clashing caused the smoke and dust that had enveloped the area to disperse, allowing Captain Siegfried and the rest to observe a seemingly balanced battle.

Looking at Ruski's body, which was laying in blood of blood cleanly sliced in two, Siegfried's expression turned ugly. However, behind his resentment and hatred over Private Ruski's death, Siegfried still felt worried about the presence of an elf he had never heard about.

Next to him, a female space knight cladded in slimmer armor, a space acolyte, found something from her wristband and showed it to the captain.

[Blood Elf]

[An extremely dangerous branch of the ancient elf]

[Automatic Alpha-level Priority]

[Report Sent]

[New main objective]

[Disable and captured the specimen]

The information Captain Siegfried saw made him even more uneasy. Never in his life he saw a system to give such notification.

Simultaneously as he finished reading the information, a scream came from one of the space knights, who was cut by the giant sword.

Seeing the dire situation, the space knight beside Captain Siegfried asked, "Captain, what is your order?"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Nothing changed, let's destroy all these bastards!"

After saying that, the captain took off his helmet and brought out a giant mechanical hammer as he charged forward without thinking twice.
