Chapter 65: Blood Elf

Seeing Aisos smug face, I let him have his moment and then told him,

"I need you to bring these to the castle by noon,"

"As you wish," Aiso says before I left the blacksmith.

As I left the blacksmith I remembered that I should've asked about Akito's whereabouts since I didn't know where to find him. This wasn't that hard of a job since I heard a loud…

KYAAAA!

In the distance. It was the same sound a fangirl would make when they see their idle so I decided to start there.

Walking down the dirt road, very few citizens noticed me as I was wearing casual clothes and not wearing my crown. But of the ones that did notice me, all they did was give a quick glance before thinking that I'm not really the queen, due to my... well... clothes and absence of crown.

If I had to guess, they probably thought that I was a fire harpy since they are the only ones that sometimes have black hair. Most of the fire harpies had a shade of red for their hair but some had different colors.

The only colors I've seen are black, blue, purple, and white for the fire harpies' hair. I assumed it had to correlate with a title since I don't think we have dye yet... What I said to Aika yesterday about having to act like a queen is kind of going against what I'm currently doing right now.

The deal with the feathers is probably due to them thinking they are covered up by my baggy pants and shirt.

"... Anyway, this is nice, no pressure of having to act like a queen all the time," I muttered to myself.

"If I had kids I would probably hide their identities so they can enjoy life like this. Well, first I have to find a way to actually produce kids," I said glancing at a pair of elven kids run past me.

Soon I arrived at a local sparring ring where people could practice their skills. I saw 2 familiar faces which were Ichika the healer for Akito's party and Aika.

...

She was sweating a lot with a satisfied look on her face. I could tell she has been working hard, fitting of her title.

Scanning the crowd even more I didn't find Akito so I decided to watch the fight for a bit. This was a beneficial idea as I saw an elf with long, blood-red hair and blood-red eyes. They gave off an ominous feeling when I gazed into them.

The elf was wearing no gear, only a raggy grey t-shirt with raggy, black, training pants. His weapon of choice was the spear as he held a training spear that you could find near the entrance of the arena.

The elf and his opponent were staring at each other waiting for somebody to make the move. Soon the opponent's wish came true as the elf started spinning the spear around to build up lots of momentum.

The amazonian who was the opponent lifted his sword as he got ready to counter the spinning spear. His stance was wide and sturdy but it looked like he could move from that stance swiftly in order to counter any attack coming at him.

The elf's spear turned into a blur as he lunged at his opponent with it. The spear was swift with no unnecessary steps and hesitation. The elf's eyes were cold as his movement clearly had every intention to kill the opponent in front of him… no mercy.

Something red oozed from his hair, back creating something similar to a cape. The cape didn't have a very definite state as it shifted around from time to time. The aura that it gave off was the same aura my killing intent leaked whenever I was fighting somebody with [Berserk].

Almost synchronously the cape soon lunged at his opponent with the spear right next to it.

The elf's opponent never panicked as he cleanly deflected the tip of the spear that approached his face. His sword then went straight for the blood-red elf's neck as I was slowly intrigued at what he might do.

The elf ducked down and spun the spear across his back and then swung at the Amazonian's gut. Since the spear wasn't in the right position only the handle of the spear smashed the opponent's ribs instead of cutting him in half.

The amazons were sent flying to the side as he coughed up a bit of saliva and blood. He was holding his ribs as he used his sword to support him up.

The blood-red elf didn't let this opening slip by as he quickly ran towards amazonian. Swinging his spear he made a cut on his left arm but it didn't stop there. He quickly pulled his spear back to deflect the panicked swing of the amazonian.

CLANG

The sword got sent flying as the amazonian could feel a sense of despair. The elf lunged his spear again and again, creating cuts across each of the opponent's limbs. If the amazonian wasn't so experienced, he would've had multiple holes in his body by now.

Not only did the elf create cuts but he built momentum as he slammed the handle of his spear on the Amazonian's arms, legs, and ribs. Even these slight movements were crucial to his win as I could only mutter one thing.

"Mastery… This is full mastery of a weapon,"

It didn't take long for the amazonian to feel the accumulation of damage since his movements started to slow. His groggy movements were more than enough to finally finish him off.

SHING

The amazonian soon saw the world upside down and could see the blood-red eyes of his opponent.

The Amazonian's head fell to the floor as the elf slicked his hair back with the opponent's blood. All of the surrounding girls all "KYAAA'd" at his won. He wasn't cocky nor was he embarrassed at the attention he was receiving.

"There's only one person this can be," I mutter to myself.

...

Pushing my way through the crowd I tried to get to where Akito was, which was right next to Aika but I hit another cliche moment.

"HEY! WHO THE FUCK JUST PUSHED ME!" rang a loud voice through the crowd.

The crowd around us turned to look at what happened but only saw an angry elf. Even though I tried to blend in with the crowd the angry elf still saw me.

Due to me wearing only casual clothes he saw this and thought I was just a normal citizen so he grabbed onto the collar of my shirt. As he tries to pull me back, I feel the weak tug of his hand and try to ignore him.

His grip was insanely strong so even though he couldn't pull me back, he almost ripped my new shirt which I had become fond of.

Losing my cool, I stopped in my tracks which the angry elf now had a small grin on his face. He let go of my collar and started walking towards me before saying,

"Hey you're quite the cutie. How about you repay me by staying over at my place for one night," He says practically drooling.

Some people had already noticed my identity making a cold droplet of sweat run down their cheek.

He reached out for my hand which I made a disgusted face and slowly turned around. I grabbed his hand and slowly crushed it. The creaking and breaking of his bones were enough to make anyone feel queasy.

ARGGGG

His scream rang throughout the arena as Akito and Aika finally noticed the commotion.

Akito and Aika stood up from the bench they were sitting on and focused their eyes on us. Due to me being turned around, Akito and Aika didn't notice it was me so Akito got up and tried to stop the fight.

The crowd let him through as he arrived right behind me, putting his hand on my shoulder.

As I fully crushed every bone in the elf's hand, I let go and turned around to see Akito right before me.
