High Elf Village Part 1

[…]

The silence from everyone was a pain.

I was supposed to go to the village of the High Elves, that had been out of contact for many years, to ask them to lend me a magical tool they had lent the Daemons before. And it was a relic of the Demon Lord who died a hundred years ago.

However, the seal of the entrance and the elimination of the slime that had grown like a small mountain was too troublesome to deal with, so I went ahead and used 10th Class magic to destroy it, along with blowing away the entire door with my magic.

Well, it couldn’t be helped, could it? It was the fault of the Giga Slime, on which ordinary magic was useless.

I decided to enter through the gaping hole while I still could, as Boris and the others who came with me as guides were still shocked and frozen.

“–Wait, wait!”

“…”

Barbas, who came to his senses as quickly as he could, tried to stop me. But I didn’t want to wait because I knew that if I stopped, things would become troublesome.

“Wait, wait! Wait for me!”

As I walked quickly, Barbas’s panicked voice followed me from behind.

“Ah, wait, Carol-dono!”

“…”

I stopped and turned around, even though I didn’t want to, because he had changed the way he had been calling me from you [you] and [little girl] to my name as if he were in a desperate situation.

“…What?”

“What is that spell! I’ve been studying magic for over fifty years, but I’ve never seen magic like that before!”

“…”

It had become troublesome, after all.

“That destructive power… is it 8th-class class… no, it could be 9th-class magic. In the legend, even the dragons were supposedly defeated with a single blow thanks to that destructive power!”

“10th Class…”

“Right, I knew it: no, wait, 10th Class? 10th-class Class Magic? Lost Magic used in mythical times! Is it really the actual one?”

“Noisy.”

“Agh!”

I twisted Barbas’s neck and forced him to quiet down. He was getting more and more excited, and there was a possibility that he might not snap out of it if I didn’t do this, so I had to force him to stop.

“…phew.”

I exhaled with a sense of accomplishment next to Barbas, who twitched on the ground.

At times like this, I would have calmed myself down by fluffing Pochi, but he had run after the large animals that had sprung up all over the place the moment the magic exploded. After a while, it would certainly come back to show off with the prey it had hunted in its mouth.

“Ba-barbas-dono!”

At that moment, Boris, who had finally come to his senses, raised his voice.

“Don’t worry. I hit him with a dull edge.”

“What do you mean by a hit? You twisted his neck as if you were strangling a bird!”

It seemed that he had witnessed the actual crime.

I had no choice but to forcefully recover MP with a potion and use the 6th Class magic [Ressurection]. He is not (yet) dead, but [Ressurection] was not just a magic that could bring people back to life; it also healed fatal wounds and regenerated missing parts so that they would not die again so soon. I did not know if it was a bug or not, but since it could be used even if the person was not dead, I often used it to heal injuries that were debuffs in the game, something it was not originally intended to do.

“[Resurrection]! I thought there would be no one left who could handle this magic now that the priests have been corrupted!”

As soon as he was resurrected, Barbas was excited and noisy again.

Come to think of it, Barbas was a royal court magician. I was not going to get anywhere with this magic geek, so I went straight into the cave in the rocky hill where the sealed door was located.

“Wait for me, Carol-dono! About the 10th Class magic, gefu.”

“Nn?”

I turned around, hearing a sound similar to a frog being crushed, and saw Barbas crouching at the entrance of the cave with his nose held in his hands. Boris and the others who came after him were also repelled by something invisible at the entrance.

“What in the world is this…?”

“The seal, it looks like it’s still in place.”

“Why is Carol-dono unaffected?”

“I don’t know.”

“That’s…”

I didn’t understand what was going on, but it seemed that I was the only one who could enter. I tilted my head as I honestly did not understand, and Barbas, who appeared to have thought he would be able to observe the High Elf magic, fell to the ground with his hands and knees in shock.

“Boris, can you explain this to Pochi and everyone in the village?”

“Yes. Please be careful.

“Nn, I will leave the rest to you.”
