All of the elves were shocked by what I just did. It was very unexpected for me to suddenly betray them.
"Scumbag! You are trying to kill us all along!" the other elves immediately took arms.
I didn't respond to them and just finished the execution to Wind, effectively killing him in the process. His body fell to the ground and was already lifeless, after all, he was killed before he can react and right to the fatal spot.
"Let's kill him, comrades! He is the only one! He can't overpower us alone!" the elf who is screaming rallies his comrades to fight.
"Wait, look at Wind's body!" one of the elves near the body of Wind pointed at his broken body.
"What do you mean...?
They turned to look at the dead body and saw the changes happening. It wasn't a gore scene that was done to an elf's body, but a gore from the dead body of a demon in an elf's clothing.
"It seems you guys have been deceived by the demons and planted one impostor among yourselves so that you guys would doubt everyone else. Once the seed of doubt has been planted, he can just pretend he didn't know anything and will start to kill everyone else. It seems he also wanted to find out where the others are held too. So before we move to the next phase, I disposed of him immediately before things could get messy," I explained and grab the loot that the demon guy dropped. As expected, it was another meh. I didn't forget to grab the necklace back from him too as it is not his real property.
"So it was actually a demon we have been following inside this prison? Not the actual Wind?!" they didn't expect the twist that happened to them. It was not part of their plan to let a demon lead them.
"So where is the actual Wind?! He was imprisoned with us when we rebelled against the acting elder! Did he got killed by the impostor?!"
"No. He wasn't killed. He was just out of commission and he was hidden by this demon in this basement. Follow me."
The elves followed my lead. I am also following the lead of Atlas who was helping me where the original guy was held as he can also detect all the living beings in this basement.
"We are here."
In front of us is a large cocoon-like structure attached to the basement walls.
"This thing is Wind?" the elves were skeptical.
"I know you guys are skeptical but don't worry, this is just a shell, not the real body. He was inside. Let me get him out."
Pulling my Versatile Weapon and changing the weapon into a sword, I sliced through the thick shell. A viscous yellow-colored liquid emerged from the thing. It was a little bit disgusting at first but I can't just stop and let the poor guy remain inside this disgusting thing. Creating a bigger cut, the liquid inside started to pour out from the inside. It didn't take long before the liquid was drained a male elf appeared inside, currently passed out.
"WIND!" the elves immediately rush towards the unconscious elf and removed him from the cocoon. They didn't even mind how disgusting it was and just continue to pull his body out.
One of the elves immediately cast healing magic to the unconscious elf while the others shake him to wake up.
"We don't have much time, carry him out of here. Soon, this will place will become chaotic and I don't want you guys to get caught up in the trouble that is brewing in this place."
"What are you going to do?!"
"I still have to make sure that the current leader is killed or else, the enemies will overwhelm all of the elves in the process. I have to do this to ensure no one will suffer anymore. The exit is open and all the guards have been killed. Just be silent when going through the houses, the other elves are still alive and I have yet to eliminate them."
"You plan to kill everyone here?"
"Yes, it was the task that the previous elder wanted to do to make sure that the spawn of the demons will not further spread. All the elves that accepted the blood of the demon will be killed without exception. If they can't be killed, they will become vectors of becoming a new demon instead and we don't want that to happen."
The elves were skeptical of the mass genocide act towards the elves who accepted the blood of the demon but they also don't want the influence of the demons to spread. In the end, they gave up.
"Alright. We will head to the camp. Thank you for saving us and for saving Wind from the enemy."
I nodded. Also, I didn't forget to let Wind wear the necklace to his neck. It was one of the requirements that the daughter of Wind gave to me from saving his father.
"Now go, time is not on our side."
They nodded and immediately exit the basement. I also saw them carry the other elf body I found earlier who I suspect to be the one who died. They didn't leave him alone in the basement and carried him along with them. I check the mission tab and finally saw the save the unturned elves crossed out with the 19 number filling the zero number from before. The timer also disappeared.
"Good, I think it is time to make this village dance in fire."
I went out of the basement and added some bombs to the basement too. After all, the demons seem to be in there too. I don't know if they will still appear but it will be a big danger if they did.
As for the houses, I didn't bother to kill them one by one. All the buildings in the village aside from the house that the village elder lived in were placed with bombs. I made sure to fill them all with bombs.
Once the bombs were placed, I evacuated the village to make sure I won't get caught by the explosion. Even my body is not immune to the damage of the explosion. I am not that omnipotent to ignore the damage of explosions caused by my device. I look back at the village for one last time and pull out the trigger.
"Let's fly high bastards. Burn in hell."
CLICK!
A defeating explosion occurred as the bombs I placed simultaneously exploded the same time I pushed the trigger. It shook the ground and the dark night turned red from the flames the explosion made. I also heard the screams and wails of different elves, trying to get out from the flames but due to how flammable the materials of the houses were, the flames only burned brighter and stronger, toasting them all to a crisp. I look at the quest tab and saw the numbers are skyrocketing to the top. It only took a few minutes until the last elf contaminated from the demon blood has been killed.
Not a single one was left alive. Except for the leader. I am quite sure he won't just die from the explosion but I made sure that his household will also suffer some casualties from the explosion. That way, he will be injured, and fighting against this bastard would be much easier than fighting him at his full force.
"GAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
I heard a loud scream from the village. There is only one more person or demon left alive from the explosion and that is none other than the acting leader who replaced the previous elf leader from the position.
"Finally, you are now out from your nest."
The screams are in clear agony. Even if he didn't die, he was too injured to just endure the pain he was feeling right now.
"WHOEVER YOU ARE! WHOEVER KILLED ALL MY BRETHREN! COME OUT AND FACE MY FURY! YOU BASTARD YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ME!"
I can only chuckle at what he just said. If he can find me easily, why wouldn't he just shoot out his fury like what he proclaims? Isn't that much easier?
Anyways, I don't plan to fight him face to face. I am a cunning bastard that would rather do some dirty tactics to win rather than do an honorable thing against an enemy and lose. That is just not a good idea.
With my Versatile Weapon in my hand, I change its form into a cannon and set it up like a mortar. He keeps screaming all his lungs trying to find me but I don't think he can do that.
A little bit of adjustment and I have a good angle to shoot the cannon. There is no need to be merciful to an enemy.
"Catch this and let's see whether you can survive."
BOOM!
The cannon shot its cannonballs. Yes, cannonballs, I did not just load one cannonball, but multiple. After all, a cannoneer class can load 5 cannonballs in one go and release them in one go with a single cannonball enough to bust a wall to pieces.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
