SWNOVELS Chapter 8 Eldorin
The Elf Queen's castle was stunning and simply enormous. The long corridors were like a maze, and if it hadn't been for the palace maid, Adam would soon have been lost.
As he breathed in the air, Adam noticed that it was already nighttime. He licked his slightly dried lips and took a step forward, immersed in his thoughts. Talking to Amaria was a fun thing to do.
She smiled, laughed, and told jokes. Amaria acted like a young girl, making Adam's heart flinch. Thinking of her beautiful face, Adam smiled.
"She is an unusual woman." Adam shook his head, and after a check from the guards, who had switched with those of the morning, Adam headed for his house.
The journey home was peaceful. Under the moonlight, Adam enjoyed the cool breeze and felt calm.
Adam put his hands behind his back and changed his path, walking into a blind spot. He turned and smiled, tapping his foot on the ground and shouting: "Hell's grip!"
Suddenly, hands appeared out of the darkness and swirled and grabbed the air.
"Ugh!" A shout was heard, and Adam saw three elves appear in the grip of the shadowy arms.
Gritting their teeth, they used their magical power and forcefully freed themselves from their hands.
"How cute. Why don't you show up?" Adam smiled, and his eyes sparkled.
Three flashes of green appeared, and Adam could see the faces of the three pursuers. One of them was thin and somewhat ugly. His eyes glittered with cunning, and an ugly aura emanated from him.
The other was masculine, with unusual brown hair. He had expressive facial features and a sly look.
But the one who looked like the leader had short, sleek blond hair and green eyes. He looked noble and arrogant. Adam could sense the hatred coming from him.
"And? For what reason do you follow me?" Adam narrowed his eyes and released his magical energy.
The leader-looking man gritted his teeth and roared. His scream was full of hatred and lust for revenge: "You... you... you! You bastard! How dare you steal my wife! Because of your magic, she left me!"
"Stole your wife? Who are we talking about?...". Adam frowned, and then it came to him. "Ah, she... you mean my lovely maid, Mary? You're Eldorin, right?"
Adam's tone was one of disdain and disgust. He felt like he'd swallowed a bug when he remembered Mary's story.
"My ex-husband, Eldorin, before I saw you in prison, was suddenly made a knight in Sir Arannis's squad. At first, I was surprised that he had achieved such a high rank, but then he told me that..." Mary's voice trembled with fear and resentment; her eyes reddened; and she clenched her teeth, saying in a trembling voice, "That I should sleep with Arannis because he promised him that! Do you understand? For the sake of that status, he's asking his wife to sleep with a stranger!"
The memory made Adam shiver with anger, and his eyes turned cold as ice. Fragments of Mary crying in his arms appeared in his mind. She looked fragile and helpless.
"Since you're Eldorin, you're not getting out of here alive." Adam grinned coldly, and his coquettish demeanor changed. "Demon God Blessing."
The magical power that was equal to that of an Inferior Demon suddenly surged upward, breaking through the ceiling that limited Adam to the "F-" rank.
F-...
F...
F+...
"F+"! Adam's power broke through to the peak level of the Middle Demon, making his aura dangerous and poisonous.
A black magical force swirled around Adam as if it were a hurricane. In this hurricane, there were silent moans of pain, as if there were ghosts trapped inside that had lost their chance of reincarnation.
Suddenly, the black storm narrowed and surrounded Adam's entire body. Eldorin and his two henchmen stood aside. They were in a state of shock, and Eldorin himself felt fear.
"What the hell? They told me he was just an Inferior Demon!" He gulped and felt intense fear, but then he remembered that Adam was the one who stole his wife and screamed.
"F**k, attack him!"
Two of Eldorin's subordinates woke up as if from a dream and concentrated magic power in their hands, reciting spells. A few seconds later, two blades of wind flew at Adam, spinning with terrifying speed and reaching him in two seconds.
Suddenly they collided with a black storm, and there was a violent sound like the scraping of metal. Eldorin covered his ears and screamed in pain, and his two subordinates lost consciousness.
The noise carried a strange power that affected the mind and, thereby, could stun the enemies. And considering that the two elves behind Eldorin were the usual weaklings at the "Lower Path (1 star)" level, they were knocked out altogether.
"Damn it! Useless trash!" He clenched his teeth and pulled his sword from its sheath attached to his belt.
However, before he could even take a step, Eldorin suddenly froze. His body was shaking with fear, and his eyes were twitching.
In front of him, he saw Adam—no, a demonic creature that had five wings that looked like the wings of a bat. It had a hybrid body, but it had sharp and long black horns in a spiral shape on its forehead.
There was terrifying energy emanating from Adam's entire body, and his once charming black eyes turned into snake eyes. Long, sharp black claws appeared on Adam's hands, and on the tips of them was a green liquid—poison!
Adam was about 190 centimeters tall before his transformation, but now he had grown to three meters! Adam's eyes lit up with irritation, and suddenly shadows emerged from his body, which in a split second enveloped an area a kilometer away, creating a kind of barrier.
Field of Darkness!
"N-no!" Eldorin screamed and turned around, starting to run. Adam, however, didn't give him much of a chance.
Adam roared softly, and suddenly there was a spark in his hand, which within a second turned into a large flaming arrow. And ten seconds later, there were ten arrows, all pointing in the direction of Eldorin!
Ten arrows whistled toward Eldorin, and two of the ten arrows separated in flight and pierced the unconscious bodies of two of Eldorin's subordinates.
"A-A-A!" There was a shout, and Eldorin shuddered, a shiver running down his back, but he didn't stop; he just ran faster.
However, it did not take long for Eldorin to run, and soon eight fiery arrows caught up with him. Two arrows pierced his right arm; two more pierced his left arm; one arrow pierced his right leg; and one pierced his left leg. Eldorin fell to the ground and screamed in pain, squealing like a pig.
Finally, the last two arrows merged into one and increased in size. The heat became so unbearable that the plants around the arrow were burned.
Boom!
"Gha-ah!" Eldorin screamed shrilly as the last arrow struck him in the back of the head and pierced through his head.
Adam stared blankly at this picture, then smiled coldly. His face was distorted by the transformation, but his familiar beauty remained in place.
In a minute, there was nothing but the bodies of the three pursuers. Only ashes that were soon blown away by the wind.
Adam turned off the transformation and immediately felt fatigued and in pain. His power immediately fell back, returning to the Inferior Demon at an early stage.
He fell to the ground and breathed heavily, but there was a wide smile on his lips, shining with anger and satisfaction.
"Eldorin, though I'm not the best man myself, you're even worse than me!" His eyes narrowed, and, he put away the "Field of Darkness".
Soon Adam saw the vegetation of Eldorin and the beautiful skyline again. Adam smiled, feeling satisfied.
Today's night was beautiful.
