79 - Art. 46. Declaration of Racial Absolute Independence

Hi!　No, no, no, don't come here!

Oh dear, oh dear, you can't read my memory if you run away, can you?"　You are a bad girl at all. The Binding of Thorns (Dorn Fesserne)

The steel-colored thorns created by Ellie's magic instantly entwine around Lief VII's body.

The queen tries to shake off the thorns, but it is impossible to tear off the strategic class "Dorn Fesserne".

It is a binding magic that can temporarily restrain even level 9999 elves.

Mikael, the deputy leader of the "White Knights," was also bound by this magic and went wild, but was unable to break free.

Elly grabs Lief VII by the head and reads his memories.

'No, stop!　What the hell are you doing to my concubine?

I'm just reading your memories a little too aggressively already, but why are the elven species so insufferable ...... 'silent'?"

I'm sorry, I--!"

Ellie, who raised her eyebrows in May when she heard Lief VII's screams, silenced him with magic by chanting "Silent.

Once quieted, she immediately resumed her memory investigation.

Last time, when we were at Mikael's, we used the method of inflicting pain while reading his memories because he had rubbed the light out of him so much.

Because of that, he was almost like a cripple after reading through his memories.

This time, LEAF VII still has a role to play, so he will not do anything that will drive him into a crippled state.

Still, he did not hesitate to go through his memories.

The surviving elf soldiers noticed the commotion in the garden and gathered, but they were stopped in their tracks by their former comrades who had been transformed into "human-faced tree" monsters by the strategy-class attack magic "Sacrificial Trees (Sakr Albor)" and could not even approach them.

Shoot the arrows!　Sorcerers, fire your offensive magic!　Save Her Majesty at all costs!"

No, no!　Everything will be blocked!"

All the soldiers who were originally there, all the elven species, of which there were more than 200, including the upper class, were defeated by magic in an instant, and an equal number of "human tree" monsters have appeared.

They are numerous, and moreover, they are resistant to physical attacks such as swords, spears, and arrows, as well as to magic attacks such as fire.

What's more--.

'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It lets out a grim yell that echoes from the depths of hell and stretches out its branches at high speed like a spear.

Ugh!　What, a branch is on my leg!　Gyahhhh!　Absorbing blood--"

It absorbs the blood that flows from soldiers who have failed to escape and have been impaled.

After absorbing a certain amount of blood, the branch cuts itself off and creates a new "human face tree" behind the body.

The elven soldiers, seeing the scene, screamed and hurriedly moved away.

It is excellent against objects and magic, and also multiplies automatically. It is not a strategy-class offensive magic that can stall the enemy, but it is not invincible either.

The survival time is 24 hours, and since it cannot move from the spot, it was meaningless if it was bypassed.

If it is hit by an attack that exceeds its durability, it will break, and if a branch attack does not penetrate it, it will not multiply.

However, even if he could successfully clear the "human-faced tree," the red dragon would still be waiting behind Ellie.

A single swing of the arm or a single breath could wipe out the elven soldiers.

The reason why the dragon does not touch them is simply because the "human-faced tree" is holding them back.

Ellie looks at the noisy elven soldiers in the distance with annoyance.

She said, "It's too noisy. ...... Even if you shut her mouth, it won't do any good if everyone around her is making noise. For the time being, we should also put a 'silent' on the surroundings to block out the sound."

After making his decision, he immediately applies "Silent" to block out the surrounding sound.

With the silence at last, Ellie once again concentrated on her memory search.

After an hour or so, she had the information she needed.

I see...it seems that you have indeed turned those savages against me, mistakenly believing that dragons have taken up residence in my 'giant tower'. It seems that my memory is consistent with the queen's words earlier.

In reality, we are gathering information about "Master", but there is no need to be honest and reveal our purpose.

After being released from the memory investigation and "Dorn Fessern," Lief VII collapsed on the spot limp.

The cold water made by magic is sprinkled on the fallen Lief VII.

She was in such severe pain from the memory search that she vomited up all her bodily fluids, including tears, snot, and drool, and was unable to pass out from the effects of the magic spell, so she did not even have the energy to scream in surprise when she was hit by the cold water.

Lief VII looked up at Elly ...... "The Witch of the Giant Tower" who was looking down at her with only her heart-frightened eyes.

She looked up at the "Giant Tower Witch," falling from the ground, but could not see her face.

It is only natural.

The hooded cloak that Ellie is wearing is the "SSR, Recognition Inhibiting Hooded Cloak" that was discharged from the "Infinite Gacha" (Gift).

As long as she wears this hood, her face cannot be recognized by others even if they look into her eyes.

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" unilaterally announced to Lief VII, the surviving soldiers, and all the elven species in the capital.

I am a human who has been studying magic deep underground. From what I have read in Lief VII's memories, it seems that this world is a very harsh place for humans. As a fellow human, I am very displeased. Therefore, I am going to uphold my 'absolute independence of race' principle.

She pauses once to take a glance not only at LEAF VII but also at the soldiers in the distance in the yard before continuing.

From now on, no human slaves will be allowed in this country. I will take responsibility for the humans I currently own. If there are any elves who oppose or hinder the liberation of the human race, I will kill them and feed them to the dragons, regardless of age or s*x. I will send my handlers to you, so be prepared to hand them over to me immediately, okay?"

Although Ellie cannot be seen by a third party due to the power of her "SSR, Recognition Inhibiting Hood Cloak," she asserts with a smile that would make any man on earth fall in love with her at first sight.

Thus the unilateral declaration spread throughout the capital.

There is no one who can resist the declaration of the "Witch of the Giant Tower.
