Ch 23: The Story of the Elf King

I am Eustass, the first king of the elves who presided over for over hundreds of years but as the first king I have done something big wrong that has put my people to death in vain.

It's all because of the relationships I've built with humans... I thought that the relationship would bring good things but instead it made a mess for my people.

The revenge I made for my people who were treated unjustly by the king of Deimurd was the beginning of the destruction of the elves, because of a great defeat.

I did not think that the kingdom had such a strong fighting force even more so the king of Deimurd, he was a monster that exhausted my frontline troops easily. At first I thought he was just a spoiled kid who was treated special because he was going to be appointed king but it turned out that my guess was again wrong.

The war took a long time but on the first day we attacked it made us feel the meaning of defeat, of course it was a shame for us to retreat on the battlefield.

The war continued until I was left alone on the ground to see my soldiers, friends and family lying on the ground covered in blood.

I cried out very loudly, crying for their deaths and it was all because of my foolishness to decide to fight for the kingdom without a second thought, because I was too impulsive.

“Didn't I say it! You are only lowly creatures who should obey our orders of the humans.” said king Deimurd looking at me with a condescending look while in his horse.

Of course I cannot dwell before the king of Deimurd and his army that has surrounded me because I am not a fighter, all this time I only relied on my Familiar-Families which I managed to subdue with my Tamer skill and without them I was just an ordinary Elf.

“Hmph seeing you like this just makes me sick.” said king Deimurd decided to leave me helpless.

At that time my feelings were mixed between being happy for not dying and being angry for not being able to avenge my fallen brothers and sisters.

They just let me go without hurting my body in the slightest, maybe he had a little bit of sympathy when he saw me like that.

I held back my embarrassment and went running from that place crying...

But again and again my guess was wrong! Not far away as I ran suddenly a huge sword pierced through my stomach making me scream in pain loudly.

“As a king you are very embarrassing for running from the battlefield.” said king Deimurd turned his head towards me.

I tried to release the great sword but having no more power, I could only wait for my death because of the wound.

But it seems like fate says something else. When I closed my eyes I heard someone say to me “It is sad to see the condition of an elf king like this.”

I thought it was one of the soldiers of king Deimurd who was about to torture me.

That man pulled out the great sword that stuck in my stomach and took my body somewhere it went.

I enjoyed the wind that blew as he took me and out of curiosity who it was I tried to open my eyes but my eyes felt so heavy.

Not long after that the wind that blew instantly disappeared and it seemed like he had reached where he wanted to take me.

I felt the softness of the thing where he laid me “Could this be his home?” my mind at that moment.

“Maybe this can help.” he said.

He doused the hole in my stomach with water and instead of feeling sore when it touched my wound I felt a warm feeling enveloping my stomach but strangely it made me sleepy.

After that I was unconscious again due to falling asleep which may have been the effect of the water she had splashed on my stomach.

When I woke up I was quite surprised when I touched my stomach which had been hollow already healed and there was absolutely no scar.

I looked around the room but there was no one but myself in it.

“What is this place? Where's the guy who brought me here?” my many.

But it seems like there was no one in the room except me, maybe the one who saved me earlier was gone.

Because I was a little bored I read the books that were recorded right next to the bed.

Books look pretty worn and dusty “Why don't people living here take care of these books?” I said when I picked up one of those books.

Well maybe an hour passed I finished reading the book and wanted to continue reading another book but my stomach instead asked to be filled.

“There is food in this place?”

Having found no food at all, I tried to get out of the room and it was true that the only thing behind the door was darkness, and I quickly closed the door.

I'm so hungry... Everything I see is like food in my eyes, even my own flesh.

But I tried to suppress my appetite by reading books and sleeping but after a few weeks, my body turned into a walking undead as it became thin and the bones in my body became visible.

It made me very stressed and because I couldn't stand it anymore I thoughtlessly tore the meat in my hand and ate it.

Of course the pain I got from myself disappeared when the meat came into my stomach and when I wanted to bite my flesh again somehow my right hand took out a book and held my mouth with the book.

I began to feel that I was going crazy even to the point that it was like my body being two and a half parts was my sanity and half was my madness for being confined in that room alone without food.

“La-hungry.”

I felt like dying because I could no longer bear to live like a dead person but I undo my intention when I accidentally pulled an empty book with a pen with wet ink that could not dry in it, it was likely that it was intentionally left behind by someone who saved earlier.

That way I then had the idea to write my stupid story in the book and who found this is one of my descendants I hope you can forgive your ancestors who made the lives of the people elves suffer.

I hope someone finds this book and if someone reads this I hope you'll take the ring in my hand as a gift.

“I-this is a real corpse of Lucy's great-grandfather!!” lucy was a little surprised after reading the book that Muve found crushed under the hands of the corpse.

“Perhaps, the thing is that there is a ring.” replied Muve pointing towards the corpse's finger.

Muve then took the ring and gave it to Lucy “You better use it because you are one of the original descendants.” Muve said.

“Ka-kak sure? Isn't this a valuable object, so it should be the sister who has it.” Lucy said.

“Already, just take it.” said Muve directly pair the ring sweet pursuit Lucy.

“I-this is oversize kak.” said Lucy.

But soon the Ring shrunk and adjusted Lucy's finger size.

“Tuh load.” replied Muve.

“But it was oversized loh.” said Lucy a little surprised.

“But what matters now load.”

Thinking they had finished the Dungeon they walked out of the room but when they opened the door they were surprised to see the place outside became bigger and wider.

“Not it was the road is not actually this yes kak?” said Lucy.

“We should be careful.” replied Muve walked forward towards the broad road.

Just as before the torches on each outskirts of the cave lit up by themselves and illuminated the place.

“Ka-sister Muve! Ja-don't say we have to beat the monster right.” Lucy said nervously looking at a large monster as the torch lit up.

“It looks like the dungeon is not finished yet and we have to defeat it first to get out.” Muve replied taking out his Dagger preparing to fight.
