Chapter 51 Taking Care Of The Intruders

They emerged one by one from the pit. Everyone held their weapons and as soon as they saw Erend, they immediately surrounded him.

Before Erend had time to break free from the red chain wrapped around his neck, another red chain came to bind Erend's legs together.

The Daemons wasted no time and covered Erend's head with a black pouch. Now Erend can't see anything.

Besides that, there was a kind of pungent smell inside the black bag which made Erend's head feel dizzy.

'Damn, this is poison!' Erend realized what the function of the black bag was. The Daemons wouldn't be stupid enough to just cover his heads.

From the start, a question was created in Erend's head. How did they get into this palace? Isn't there a magic shield in the underground palace that protects it?

How could the Elves, who were able to create impenetrable Magic shields, forget to cover the underground and leave it unprotected?

After seeing how powerful the Elves were in his world, Erend thought that they couldn't possibly make such a mistake.

'There's no point in thinking about that now! I have to get away from all this!' Erend started to show resistance.

The Daemons were surprised that Erend was still conscious. Their poison should render Erend unconscious instantly!

What's more, Erend was trying to fight strongly. The Daemons are starting to have a hard time holding the chains down.

Erend did feel a little dizzy, but he didn't feel any other effects that made him unable to move. Erend still had enough strength.

'PRANGG!!!'

Finally, Erend managed to break the chains that bound his legs. The Daemons panicked.

"(Quickly kill him! We can't let tonight's attack plan fail because of him!)" Said one of the Daemons who seemed to be the leader of the group.

The other Daemons of course agreed with their leader. They couldn't let their small chance fail just because of a human being at the wrong place and time!

So the Daemons raised their weapons in the form of swords, short spears, and daggers to attack Erend.

But Erend didn't stay in that position for a long time. As soon as he managed to master the situation, Erend immediately used [Fire Breath].

[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]

'BWOOOSH!'

A jet of fire shot out from Erend's mouth through the black pouch and soared into the sky. The flames became like pillars of light illuminating the night.

The Daemons widened their eyes. That pillar of light is a bad sign.

The pillar of light that appears will summon all the Elves in the palace. All of the Daemons were fixated on the fire pillar Erend shot that they messed up everything in their minds. So they didn't put their full focus on Erend who was still trying to break free.

? Because of that, they didn't notice Erend already holding the short spear belonging to one of the Daemons.

Erend pulls the short spear along with the Daemon holding it. Then rewarded the Daemon with a punch to the face.

'BUAGH!'

The Daemon was knocked off by Erend's punch. The surrounding Daemons noticed that but they were too late.

Erend who already has a spear immediately uses it to stab Daemon who is holding a chain around his neck.

'CRAAT!'

The spear pierced the Daemon's neck and he fell dead.

Erend immediately got up and pulled the chain around his neck.

Not long after that, five Elf guards arrived. They are shocked to see what happened.

"Kill them!" Erend shouted.

Since he didn't have Magic to translate the language, the newly arrived Elves didn't know what Erend was shouting. But at least they got the point.

The five Elf guards charged toward the Daemons with their weapons and magic.

One of the Elves cast lightning Magic at the Daemons.

The lightning struck the face of one of the Daemons and then spread to the surrounding Daemons. Instantly the Elf had blinded three Daemons at once.

He immediately followed up by throwing a dagger at the two Daemons, instantly killing them.

Erend didn't know if he would still be considered completing the Urgent Quest if the Daemons were killed by someone else.

[ "Don't worry. As long as the condition is achieved, then you will still be considered completing the Quest." ]

Suddenly the answer from Tut came.

It is very convenient because Tut is in his mind and can immediately answer the questions that suddenly popped into Erend's head.

'Oh, okay. That's good.' Erend was relieved.

The five Elf guards seemed to be enough to take on twenty Daemons. But Erend won't stay silent so he joins the attack again.

Erend jumps towards one of the Daemons closest to him and stabs his claws into the Daemon's chest.

Erend's claws were able to penetrate the Daemon's brown skin with ease. The Elves' guard looked at him with a look of horror mixed with curiosity.

They had heard of Erend's power but they had never seen it in person. Erend fought terribly. Coupled with his changing skin covered in red and black scales made Erend like a raging beast.

Erend's way of fighting was indeed disgusting in the eyes of the Elves who saw it firsthand. But they didn't deny that Erend was very strong.

The Elves didn't mind it now since they had more important matters. There were still about fifteen Daemons they had to deal with.

But it doesn't take long. With the cooperation between the five Elf guards and Erend, the Daemons were wiped out before they even had time to leave the park.

Erend and the five Elf guards were standing beside the corpses of all the Daemons they had slaughtered.

Erend heaved a sigh of relief and then deactivated all of his Skills. Again, the curious gazes of the Elves followed Erend's transformation into a human.

"What?" Erend asked flatly. He readily accepted their words which were usually insults.

But unexpectedly, the elves' guard didn't say anything. They just started dividing the tasks. Some of them cleaned up Daemon's corpse, others left to wake the palace's residents.
