Chapter 621 Lesson On Nature

Chapter 621 Lesson On Nature

[Moments Later]

"Horrible! You're so horrible!"

"You really killed them? How disgusting! What a beast you are!"

"How could you do such a terrible thing?!"

Rey was met with reproach from the Elves the moment he stepped inside the barrier, causing his previously good mood to sour instantly.

'The hell...?' He clenched his teeth as he stared at them with stifled annoyance.

Ater had indeed informed him of the culture of the Elves and their no-kill policy. No matter how dire the situation was, Elves would never take another life.

It was a crime against Nature.

They viewed those who engaged in this act to be nothing more than beasts, so humans and the other races fell under this category. The only lives they were commanded to take were those of the Dragons, and the only reason they did so was because it was a declaration from the Oracle.

Everyone obeyed—no matter their disposition.

However, the Monsters that Rey mercilessly slaughtered weren't Dragons. They were an integral part of Nature, and he just prematurely deprived them of their lives.

In Elven Culture, that was unacceptable.

"They would have killed you, perhaps even me, if I didn't strike back. Yet you wanted me to spare them?"

"YES!"

Rey's quizzical expression only grew worse as he was further plunged into annoyance.

"Why?"

"Because Nature ought to be preserved. Those Monsters are unintelligent, like babies, so they have no real idea what they're doing. As the intelligent ones, it is our responsibility to be better."

"The fuck...?" Rey couldn't help but strongly disagree.

"So your excuse for not trying to kill the Monsters who would not hesitate to devour you, if given the chance, is that they don't know any better?" New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"I-INDEED!"

"I find that dumb and idiotic." Rey bluntly responded to the group as he walked past them, facing his fortress.

"H-HEY! Those are the rules of the Community."

"What do you know?!"

"How dare you say that, ungrateful wench!"

"Why are we even talking to you?!"

As he heard them call him all sorts of names, Rey was tempted to once again cause them to tremble and beg before him, but he chose not to.

By using Zone Layering on himself, he could prevent his smell from traveling beyond the close range himself. Using Sound Magic, he could still convey his words to the Elves, so the layered effect didn't affect his ability to communicate.

As a result of this elaborate method, none of the Elves fainted even when they were so close to him. "Look, if you respect Nature, then grow stronger. That's how Nature truly operates." He told them with cold eyes.

As his gaze pierced theirs, beads of sweat formed on their faces and they immediately fell silent.

"Unless you grow strong enough... you will lose everything." He began, his tone grim as his voice remained solemn. "That is a promise."

It was only a matter of time that the Monster Horde overflowed and made it to their Community. Perhaps they had ways to deal with the incursion of Monsters, but with the Dragon War at hand, the number of disposable Elves had to be considered.

Sooner or later, they would be ransacked by the monsters.

"The reason you all lost to me is because you're weak. It's because of that very reason that those Monsters would have killed and eaten you."

The faces of the Young Ones paled as Rey told them the harsh truth, though many of them shook their heads as he spoke.

They didn't agree.

"Nature is dog eat dog. Monsters kill people and other Monsters, so you are permitted to kill Monsters."

If no one did, the Monsters would only grow stronger—until they devoured everything.

"N-no... no I don't agree..."

"Y-you can't be right!"

"We believe Big Sis! The Elders are correct!"

"The rules are never wrong!"

The Elves seemed to be reciting something as they all objected to Rey's words.

"Monsters don't know any better. We have to be better... we are Elves, servants of Nature. We aren't savages..." Rey shook his head and sighed. Clearly, this was a waste of time for everyone.

Yet... YET...!

'I don't want to let this one go!'
