-Location : ELF KINGDOM-
Jinhyuk is now standing outside of the camp site of the elves . He was watching the soldiers fight which was atleast 500 m from the camp . Jinhyuk has now ordered all the groups of elves to retreat . They were retreating but the human soldiers were rushing towards them . It was a chaos . The captain of the Royal Guards Lizelia and the commander of the elven army Leon are standing beside Jinhyuk . Jinhyuk was standing there but his expressions were cold , stoic and devoid of emotions . The commander was not sure if leaving the war to a guest of the kingdom even when the guest is none other than the adopted son of the king himself is a good decision .
Leon [inner thoughts]
I understand that he is strong but will he be able to defeat all of the army
The people of the army are strong enough to push back even the elves
He may be super strong but does he think that he can push back an army of 20000 men ?
I can't help but consider him arrogant in his powers
"Did all of the people return ?" asked Jinhyuk
"Yes sir , almost all of our men alive have successfully returned" said Leon
"Okay , let's wait for more 2 minutes then I will take action"
Some of the soldiers approached Leon with a bit of confusion in their eyes .
"Commander , why were we ordered to retreat ?" one of the soldiers asked
"Ahem , I didn't command you to retreat but rather it was ordered by Mr.Sung Jinhyuk" said the commander
"How can you listen to the words of an unknown outsider , not to mention he is a human too"
"Listen up , I am here to help you and I am not a complete stanger . I helped the royal family 5 years ago" said Jinhyuk
"So what ? That make you a prince or something ?" said the same soldier (annoyed and irritated voice)
"Oh , I am the Prince of your nation" said Jinhyuk (smirk on his face)
"Don't kid me . How can you be the prince ?"
"Commander , why don't you answer their question" said Jinhyuk
"Yes sir" said Leon
He turned towards the soldiers and raised his voice
"Listen up everyone , this person right here is the adopted son of his Majesty"
"What ?!!!!" everyone shouted
This was the last conversion between Jinhyuk and the soldier . He got up from the rock he was sitting on .
"Looks like everyone is here and look , the enemy's arrived too"
At that moment , atleast 500 men forwarded together towards the camp site . Jinhyuk was standing in front . They came and stopped . Leon and Lizelia were standing as they took out their swords . The human in front of them came towards them
"You elves have caused too much trouble for us . It is better if you just hand over your king and face the punishment" said the human
"We caused you trouble ? We are the guardians of nature . You people are the ones who are coming forward claiming territories and destroying our household" said Leon
"Stop that bullshit about nature . We , humans are the kings and you are merely our servants . Well , we have decided a good punishment for you"
"P-Punishment ?"
"Yes , we will execute you people and the women of your tribes will serve as servants in our noble households or be our concubines , and the woman standing here will be my personal servant ."
"Stop it !!!! You bastards "
"You can't shout . We have claimed your lands , you people are our prisoners . Oh , and your princess is already under our care . I guess the lord must be having some fun with your princess right about now"
"ENOUGH !!!!"
This was Jinhyuk's voice . His voice shook the entire battlefield . All of them shocked looked towards him including the elves and humans . He stepped forward towards the man in front . He had cold eyes
"Who are you ?" the man asked
"..."
"Wait a minute . You are a human . Why are you siding with the elves ? Return to the kingdom and face punishment"
"Where is she ?" said Jinhyuk (chilly voice)
"Who ?"
"Where is the princess ?"
"Where else ? In our Lord's camp of course . Now return immediately and surrender , I will personally ..."
The man could not complete his sentence . Jinhyuk's blade had already differentiated his body and head . The man's head fell down as it rolled backwards . Jinhyuk looked back towards Lizelia .
"Lizelia , come with me . I will clear the way . Go and rescue the princess" said Jinhyuk
"Yes sir" said Lizelia
The humans had their shield up as they blocked Jinhyuk's way . Jinhyuk sheathed his sword .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Blood Manipulation (EX) activated
Jinhyuk made two daggers and tied it with chains wrapped around his arms . It was like the weapon he made in Jeju Island .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Weapon Mastery (S) activated
-Skill : Grave of Swords (SSS) activated
-Skill : Sword Demon King Steps (SSS) activated
Jinhyuk jumped and landed between the soldiers . He started slashing his blades against the soldiers as he rushed through the group . He killed all of them within 20 seconds . He was standing in the middle of a blood pool , he himself was covered in blood spots here and there . He retracted the blades he made from blood manipulation . He looked at everyone of the elves standing with surprised look on their faces .
"Come on Lizelia , we have to save the princess" said Jinhyuk
"O-Okay" said Lizelia
Jinhyuk ran in front with Lizelia following behind . The human soldiers were coming towards the both of them . Lizelia unsheathed her sword but Jinhyuk raised his hand infront of her .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Glacier Formation (EX) activated
-Glacier Formation : Absolute Zero
A cold wind blew as it freezed everything on it's way . The human soldiers got mummified in ice . It was nearly 5000 soldiers .
"Let's Go" said Jinhyuk
Lizelia was following him quietly . She was shocked to see a human carry that much mana , and it was not the end of it at all . She understood that Jinhyuk had much of his mana left . He killed 5000 soldiers almost instantly .
"I am starting to wonder something" said Jinhyuk
"What ?" asked Lizelia
"This is a battlefield . The soldiers should be gathered in one place but instead they divided themselves in groups"
"Hmm…I guess it's strange but they also have intelligence . We cannot expect them to gather at one place"
"No , that's not what I'm talking about . It is definitely intelligent for them to divide but they follow different strategies . The soldiers are divided in exactly 5000 each and they should already know by now that we are coming . So , why…."
"I guess it's not important if we can defeat them and take the princess"
"You're right . We have to save her"
Jinhyuk and Lizelia moved forward as they were running . Jinhyuk spotted a group of men near them but Lizelia didn't spot us . Jinhyuk signalled Lizelia to stop as he pointed towards a tree . Lizelia climbed with one jump while Jinhyuk stayed down .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : HellFlame (EX) activated
Jinhyuk placed his hand on the ground as a range of flames rushed through the grounds and reached the soldiers .
-HellFlame : Earth Melter
The flames covered the entire area of the 5000 standing soldiers and started to burn them alive . The people who tried to escape got caught more easily as Jinhyuk had melted the ground . After about 30 seconds , all the things which remained were ashes and a barren , melted ground .
They started walking again towards the enemy camp . They this time reached an open battlefield . Jinhyuk was sensing a huge wave of mana but it was not of any single person . It was the mana which gathers when an immense numbers of mana users are around any area . Jinhyuk and Lizelia walked as silently as possible . They saw a huge number of soldiers which should be double the last 2 batches are now forwarding towards the elven camps . Jinhyuk got out of the hiding while Lizelia stayed . Upon spotting Jinhyuk the men rushed towards him with their shields up and spears and swords shining with light and glimmering with mana .
Jinhyuk unsheathed his sword . He wanted to try a move but most possibility is that the sword can break after only a single attempt but that was not the time to think about it .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Weapon Mastery (S) activated
-Skill : God Of Lightning (EX) activated
-Skill : Mandala (SS) activated
Jinhyuk covered his sword in lightning as he raised it up . The lightning descended from the sky and elongated the sword . Jinhyuk slashed his sword and all of the first soldiers died from either their body cut in half or their heads falling down . There were almost a thousand dead from that first attack , the sword seemed to reach only around 10 people but the lightning property killed them all. Everyone was seeing something like this for the first time where only one man annihilated an entire kingdom's army . Jinhyuk was not thinking about anything , he didn't have enough time . The more time he wastes here the chances of Cereyl being alive decreases .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Glacier Formation (EX) activated
-Glacier Formation : Absolute Zero
Jinhyuk used his skill again as it freezed the entire battlefield . It wasn't actually freezing the soldiers, his skill was turning the soldiers into ice so the moment the skill effects comes in contact with the soldiers , their body dies . Jinhyuk freezed everyone and everything surrounding it .
"This was the last of them , Now let's save Cereyl" said Jinhyuk
"J-Jinhyuk-sama , can I ask you a question ?" asked Cereyl
"Yes ?"
"How are you so powerful ?"
"That's a question I myself need the answer to"
"What ?"
"Yes , I don't know how I am so powerful ? But the thing I want to know first is 'Why am I so powerful'?"
"O-Okay"
Jinhyuk and Lizelia reached the enemy camp which was almost 500 meters from the place where the last of the soldiers are frozen . Jinhyuk was searching for Cereyl but she was nowhere to be found .
-Ti-ting
-Skill : Dragon Senses (SS) activated
Jinhyuk's senses expanded as he could see everything clearly as it is infront of his eyes . He saw that there was a tent behind these tents in the front and there was Cereyl trapped with both her eyes and hands along with legs tied . A person was roaming inside the tent with a whip like thing in his hand as he was trying to hit Cereyl with it . Her dress was torn from different places . Jinhyuk's blood started to boil as he forwarded towards the tent . Lizelia was confused as to why was he so angry all of a sudden . Jinhyuk crossed the tents in the front and went towards the forest . There was a black tent which couldn't be seen between the darkness of so many trees . Jinhyuk slashed with his arm as a sword energy was released and it dismantled the tent . The man angry looked out and saw two people . One of them tall with a built physique and other with a slender figure but the thing which angered the person more was that the slender figure had long , pointed ears . He gritted his teeth
"How is an elf here ?" asked The person
"What do you think ?" said Jinhyuk
"Do you know who I am ?"
"No"
"I am the Commander of the Great Hardt Kingdom . You are measly an elf"
"Oh , really ?"
"My soldiers will kill you right this moment"
"How do you think I got here ?"
"What ?"
"I got here after killing all of your men"
"Impossible . We had an army of 20000 . How can a single elf kill them all ?"
"Elf's are more capable than you think . Now goodbye"
Jinhyuk slashed his arm again as a small sword energy divided the head and the body as it fell down . Jinhyuk shifted his attention to the woman tied there .
"Lizelia , please open the ropes" said Jinhyuk
"L-Lizelia ?" said Cereyl (eyes closed , voice shaking)
"It's alright now princess" said Lizelia (opening Cereyl's ropes)
The first person Cereyl saw after opening her eyes was Lizelia . She was looking at her with a small , bright smile . Cereyl jumped and wrapped herself around Lizelia as she started crying . Lizelia tried to comfort her . Cereyl stopped crying for some time as she asked
"Who is the other person with you Lizelia ?" asked Cereyl
"You will recognise once you see " said Lizelia (small smile)
Jinhyuk came towards Cereyl as she saw his face , her eyes opened wide as well as her mouth . She was sitting there without any movement . Jinhyuk scratched his head as he said
"It's been a while , little sister" said Jinhyuk
Cereyl didn't say anything as she got up and went towards Jinhyuk . This was the first time , Jinhyuk noticed some changes in Cereyl . She was now more taller , her hair more greener and longer . Cereyl came towards Jinhyuk as she placed her hand on Jinhyuk's face with a gentle care . She couldn't hold back her tears much longer as she started crying and clinged onto Jinhyuk's shirt and hid her face inside his chest . Jinhyuk could feel the warm tears dropping , the shaking of her . He didn't hesitate as he wrapped his arms around her .
After sometime , Cereyl calmed down . Jinhyuk was ready to head out but he remembered something . He opened his hoodie and wrapped it around Cereyl as he dress was torn . Jinhyuk lifted Cereyl as they all left the camp .
-1 HOUR LATER-
Jinhyuk , Lizelia along with Cereyl returned to the camp of the elves . The elves spotted them as all of them came out of the camp along with the commander and the king . Jinhyuk reached the camp and placed Cereyl on the ground . Cereyl was standing there as the king came and placed a hand on Cereyl's head .
"Are you okay , Cel ?" said the king
"Yes , father" replied Cereyl
"Alright , let's go treat your wounds" said the king
"I have already treated her wounds . Please just give her some warm food and clothes" said Jinhyuk
"Thank you so much , Jinhyuk" said the king
"Don't thank me . It was my job to protect you people "
" I am sure the humans will revolt again after you rescued Cel"
"They won't"
"What ? How can you be so sure"
"Your Majesty , Jinhyuk-sama has already eliminated every single one of the humans"
"WHAT !!!!!!!" shouted everyone in the camp
"Oh , that surprised me" said Jinhyuk
"J-Jinhyuk ? Did you really kill all the enemy ?" asked the king
"Yeah , the war is over . The elves won" said Jinhyuk
"YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the whole camp shouted
