60. Nature
"Hmph, I don't know what to say, it's just that I can restrain magic...... The true strength of the Holy Sword Yan Feather could not be fought against simply by being immune to magic!"
- Holy Sword Yan Yu......
"It's okay, you can look forward to it~"
Io didn't say much on the surface, but in fact, he was in his heart...... To be honest, watching the junior who obviously doesn't know much but calms himself down through the unreliable "self-confidence" at all, no matter how many times it makes Io's heart feel dark - that kind of "cowardice, Bakana!?" Yan Yi is really tired of watching.
[If it's just the power of the flame...... No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to make the elves retreat~ Just as the light power of the Holy See is inherently aimed at darkness, it is precisely because the elves and the flames are incompatible, so the elves' experience and experience in fighting the flames are also unimaginable to other races. Have all the current humans forgotten about this - don't play with fire in front of the elves......]
"Huh?"
Io watched in amazement as Saris wiped the blade of the holy sword with his hand, leaving a trail of blood on it—subconsciously, Io frowned.
[This guy ...... He wouldn't fail to understand the meaning of smearing his own blood on Yan Yu's sword, would he?]
"Io-senpai, what's wrong?"
"Kaede, have you tried to smear your own blood on your 'Yaksha' like a sacrifice?"
"Eh, it's never before, it sounds like it hurts...... Does it mean anything special? I always feel like there's something evil about you saying that?"
"Of course, because this move was originally a demon from the abyss - legend has it that those spokesmen of chaos can bring unparalleled evil energy when they soak their blades with blood. The difference is that they use the warm blood of all living beings. This technique, in which the sword-wielder's own blood is smeared on the blade of the sword, in order to resonate with the sword, was invented by an unknown and stupid human, and it is a small secret technique that has been circulated. Because the essence of weapons is to kill and kill tools, with this secret technique can awaken the innate evil nature of the weapon, and you can obtain a power beyond the usual - for me, it is very unknown what is called skill......"
As an elf, Io hated the skill of making weapons bloodthirsty - a good weapon is the brainchild of one or several craftsmen, and using this skill to control the weapon will make it more and more evil, which in Io's opinion is similar to instigating other people's children to break the law.
"But...... Isn't that a holy sword, will it work with this technique?"
"The name of the Holy Sword, you humans added it without permission...... said Io, pointing to the wound on Kaede's body, "Besides, you should have experienced it too, right? The kind of fire poison on top of that so-called 'Holy Sword'...... Do you really think it's like a holy sword?"
"Huh?" After Io's prompting, Kaede suddenly found that he didn't feel the fatigue and pain in his body at some point, looked down at his wounds, and found that it had begun to heal gradually, and the blazing heat that had raged in his body before had disappeared.
"It's ...... Is it the reason for Io's seniors?"
"Yes, count yourself lucky, right? The fire poison on Yan Yu is not the fire poison in the ordinary sense, even if you go to the Holy See, most of them will not be able to help you expel it...... In front of me, though, it's not a problem. ”
Io smiled confidently and looked at Saris, who was still preparing in the distance, "Whether it's the burning of the flames or the raging killing intent...... None of them can be my opponent - if I'm serious......"

"Ha-ha-"
Salis gasped for breath - the erosion of the flame feather was more intense than expected, and if it weren't for his professional training in this area, the flame of the torch in his hand would have burned to itself. In fact, Salis already felt that his decision was too unconspiratory.
Feeding the sword with blood, if it is an ordinary sword, it naturally doesn't matter, but the "appetite" of the holy sword Yan Yu is obviously not comparable to that of an ordinary sword. When Sarith induced this secret method of blood, he felt as if a large hand was tugging at his soul tightly, trying to pull him into the darkness...... Therefore, Salis had to contend with it - and it was a shame that the other party did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack, otherwise, this kind of behavior of spending a while motionless in front of the enemy to adjust his state is no different from digging his own grave.
[The other party didn't take this opportunity to attack, is it too big...... No, I very much hope so, but reason tells me that the reason why she didn't choose to rush is not like that......]
During this time, Salis inadvertently met the other party's gaze - the other party's pupils were too deep, which made Salis can't help but feel a sense of fear.
Something hidden in the depths of her gaze, Salis could feel, was actually a faint disappointment—as if she was expecting Salis to make a further move!
[I'm not the master of the Holy Sword Yanyu, and I can use it because of the mark given to me by my teacher...... As a result, the amount of force I can mobilize is only a fraction of what I can do. Could it be that the other party also knows my current state? I was looking forward to seeing the further strength of the Holy Sword, but I found that I could only do so much, and I needed to rely on this way to let go, so I was disappointed...... Her knowledge of the Holy Sword may be far above mine!]
Sariss couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed - although he had been given the order to eliminate all witnesses, so he could do whatever it took to kill him, but the elf in front of him was extremely powerful, and he might even have a lot to do with the holy sword Yan Yu...... In any case, this is not an existence that should be at odds with now!
[Thankfully...... The other party intends to give me a step down? can make such a strong person restrain the anger caused by his disciple's injury...... Since she is not going to kill me here, it means that at present, she has no intention of making enemies with the Empire......]
As soon as Salis thought of this, he was determined that his own death was a small matter, and if his teacher's plan and the empire itself were to suffer, he would be to blame...... As for the guys who unfortunately died in this operation, then tell the teacher the truth, how to talk to those politicians is not Saris's task......
"Whew—I'm sorry to keep you waiting......"
Slowly exhaling a breath blocked in his chest, Salis raised his eyes and looked directly at Io: "Although I am essentially a magician, I also have a little dabbling in swordsmanship, please don't be careless." ”
"Sixteen seconds...... It's not bad to break free from Yan Yu's entanglement so quickly...... It doesn't seem that my nature is too bad, well, I'll consider saving some hands as appropriate~"
It was obviously a very arrogant and rampant line, but at this moment, after increasing his strength by feeding the Holy Sword Yan Yu with blood, Salis could clearly feel the trembling sensation coming from the pores all over his body - it was like a high wall, and Salis couldn't see the scene behind the wall because he was standing too low before...... And now, with his feet elevated, Salis can finally see what a terrible thing is behind the wall......
......
Who is the most powerful enemy of the human race? Is it the demons?
- If you take it as an "enemy", it's a demon...... Still, instead of worrying about the banished ones, I think the elves might be even more terrifying...... If you become their enemy......
......
"No matter! The strength of the race that is deeply feared by the teacher, I'm going to feel it for myself today!"

"It's a bit of a problem, I wanted to stir up a scene when the water was muddy, but now it's ......."
Xia looked at the figure that exuded an emerald green aura with fear—at this moment, Xia had even withdrawn several kilometers away.
"That guy doesn't seem to understand, it's not that it dispels the effect of magic, but repels the 'heterogeneity' - everything that doesn't blend in with 'nature', as long as she denies it, has no qualification to exist in front of that elf...... Now, that elf embodies the concept of 'nature', that is, the agent of 'nature' in this world! It is worthy of an elf, the apostle of the god can only use only part of its power, but the elf actually has the ability to fully manifest the 'power of nature' and project it on the earth! It is like a god giving his entire wealth to the apostle...... It's a shame that even a little closer to me can be discovered by the power of death......, right?
