I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 34

#34 Interpretation is better than dreaming (2)

Chiiik –

A terrible scream echoed along with the sound of burning skin.

Blood flowed along the goosebumps that appeared on the elf’s body.

“It’s not enough yet.”

“yes.”

The blazing iron skewer approached the elf once again.

This time it wasn’t the elf I had just stabbed, it was a different elf.

Chiiik –

A bloodcurdling scream erupted.

But the elf who screamed wasn’t the elf who was impaled.

A young elf watching all this.

It was a scream that burst out of her.

“Who do you want me to stab this time?”

The iron skewer was pointed at another elf.

“This bitch? Or the guy I just stabbed?”

A sorrow arose in the young elf.

Because I knew that the hands of cruel humans would never stop.

“Since there’s no answer, I guess I’ll have to stab them both.”

The necromancer, who had been winked at, stabbed the two elves alternately.

The smell of burning flesh spread along with the smoke.

They remained strong despite the pain and did not fall apart.

I only care about the wounded young elf.

“Is what you feel now fear?”

Phew –

“What do you feel this time?”

Phew –

As the wounds on the elf’s body increased, the young elf’s screams grew louder.

If I answer that question now, will I be able to end this hour?

Are your own people suffering because you did not act as they wanted?

She screamed at the top of her lungs as if everything was her fault.

“I will give you a chance.”

Shaking eyes turned to the necromancer.

I felt like I would do anything to ease the suffering of my people.

“Choose one.”

I didn’t even have time to think about what that meant.

Because the iron skewer made a creepy sound as it pierced the necks of the two elves and came out.

“Try to revive it with the elven spirit magic and sorcery.”

The people I had been with were dying.

How am I supposed to choose one of these?

A sound came from the young elf’s mouth.

It was the sobbing of an animal that could not even be called language.

“Ah…ah…ah…!”

I dragged my stiff legs and crawled to the place where the elves were lying down and writhing.

“If you don’t save her, we’ll both die.”

Her eyes wandered and wavered.

I felt a pain like flesh was being ripped from my chest.

She eventually had to make a choice.

Because I had to save at least one person.

She reached out with difficulty.

Paaaaat –

Light radiated from his hand and touched the wound.

A hole that is slowly healing.

Fortunately, it didn’t go straight through the neck.

The elf’s chest began to rise and fall, as if he was breathing a little more comfortably.

“Another elf died because of your choice.”

“Ah…ahhh….”

Her head shook violently.

It wasn’t my fault.

But his choice cost one of his own people their life.

She was afraid of losing her remaining colleagues, so she hugged them into her arms.

A voice penetrated her ear.

“Is what you feel now despair?”

Her face turned white.

I couldn’t figure out what they wanted.

I couldn’t even figure out why he was asking such a question.

All I could do was struggle and treat my colleagues.

And then an unbelievable sight unfolded before her eyes.

The iron skewer pierced the neck of the elf in his arms.

“What will you feel if you kill this guy?”

This time there was no scream.

Instead of a scream, a burst of emotion covered her face.

“This time it’s definitely despair.”

It was a creepy smile.

The necromancer gestured and opened his mouth.

“It’s not enough. Bring me other elves.”

“yes.”

“It takes time to complete. Gather monsters and demons.”

Ouch.

The person who received the order stiffened and asked back.

“If we do that, our existence will be exposed. Is that okay?”

“It doesn’t matter now. The time is coming….”

After finishing speaking in a dry voice, he raised his head and looked at one place.

That thing that looks like a dot.

The origin of the elves, called the World Tree.

“I could have killed the elves in one go…”

His eyes narrowed.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand how the curse magic could be lifted.

It was a magic that was different from the magic of humans and elves.

Only a demon or necromancer can wield this magic.

In that case, there is only one thing that is suspicious.

“However, the High Elf’s abilities have clearly weakened. They will not be able to stop it a second time.”

All you have to do is put a stronger curse on it than before.

It was something that could have been done if only there was time.

Before the long-awaited moment arrives, all preparations had to be completed.

“It’s a perfect ending.”

His hand grabbed the red-hot iron skewer.

It was time to bring about deeper despair.

***

“Why is everyone so peaceful when they say monsters are invading?”

I feel like I’m the only one making a fuss.

Even just looking from afar, there were monsters swarming around.

However, the elves were leisurely walking around the castle walls as if they were out for a walk.

“Go over there. If you stay here, you could get seriously hurt.”

“Thank you, Chris.”

“I don’t think that elf should be here.”

The aura of death felt unusually thick.

This elf could die if you fight him here.

“If you stay here, you’ll die, so go far away.”

“thank you!”

“Are you an archer? Hmm… Don’t go here, go to that tree over there.”

He was a lucky elf.

If you get close to the tree’s energy, your arrows will fly towards the monster at least once more.

I urgently grabbed the elf who was trying to say hello and leave.

“Wait a minute! Pay 5 coppers and go. If you don’t want to die.”

“…yes?”

“I’m not saying I’ll kill you… Anyway, just give it to me and go.”

Now the purse was full and there was no room to put more money.

I’ve emptied the wallet several times already and it’s still like this.

It was understandable, since he chased after every elf he saw.

“Where should I go? A dot would be very useful in times of war.”

Old Man Paramon, who had been following me around, asked me a question as if he was interested.

“….”

Even if you look closely, all you see is good luck for health.

Even though fortune telling did not work out, Mr. Paramon, who had been told that hardships lead to happiness, was actually very lucky.

“You can do whatever you want, sir… Are monsters dangerous in the first place?”

“Haha, in battle, you never know who will die and when.”

However unknown it may be, one thing was certain.

I’m sure our inspirational kids will be okay.

I turned my head and looked out into the forest in the distance.

As I climbed up the wall, a wide open horizon came into view.

“Are monsters actually that friendly?”

All kinds of monsters were gathered there.

The distance looked like a dot, but the size of the dot varied greatly.

Anyone can tell.

That there are goblins, trolls, and ogres all mixed together in one place.

“During the Continental War, that was actually a natural appearance.”

“That means….”

“Rossel is in contact with the royal family. It looks like they’ve finally made their appearance again.”

From the perspective of Pharaoh Pharaoh, these are people who would be difficult to chew and eat.

But unexpectedly, his expression looked calm.

As if he had read my expression, the old man smiled faintly.

“I knew this day would come someday.”

“Hmm…”

Inspiration aside, I was the problem.

No matter how much of a shaman’s fate is said to be one that will lead to hardships, who would have thought that he would even experience war?

When will the souls of those who died here ever be comforted?

“There’s no need to be nervous. I won’t lose another comrade right in front of your eyes.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that.”

Doesn’t it overlap with the nightmare from back then for no reason?

I still remember it vividly.

I am talking about the image of my grandfather dying, saying he was sorry for not being able to protect me.

“Inspiration.”

“hmm?”

“Be careful not to get stabbed in the chest.”

“Huh… You’re praying to die.”

“That’s what the inspiration did…”

Besides the inspiration, there was another person who died.

An elf whose head appeared cruelly in my dreams.

“Irene hasn’t been seen for a few days. Where did she go?”

I haven’t seen Irene since I woke up.

Paramon’s fingertips pointed to a forest quite a distance away from here.

“It must be somewhere around there.”

“…Is it over there?”

It was a position that looked dangerous to anyone.

The first place you will encounter monsters.

“That’s where she used to be. That’s what leaves are for, protecting branches.”

“Are you leaving the intact walls alone?”

“The forest is a fortress to the elves. They must know that… I don’t know what they’re up to.”

“….”

You won’t die from a cut throat, right?

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to cut off Irene’s head in the Elf Forest where the World Tree is located.

This place has a peaceful atmosphere.

For some reason, I didn’t feel any ominousness or discomfort.

My fortune telling also had some negative aspects, but it wasn’t something that would happen right away.

“You’re coming just in time.”

“…..?”

A vibration was felt in the ground.

The atmosphere around him changed with him.

A cool atmosphere was felt from the elves.

“Shooters, prepare.”

Chuck –

Arrows were attached to the elves’ bows.

There was still a long way to go before the monster arrived.

“You shoot arrows on this street?”

It wasn’t yet the distance an arrow could reach.

“You were a hunter too, so you know how to use a bow. But elven arrows are different from human arrows.”

As soon as the inspiration ended, arrows were shot and covered the sky.

With the smell of strong wind.

“uh…?”

Clearly an arrow was fired, but there was no sound.

Even though there should have been a sound of cutting through the air, it felt like there was no presence, as if it were the wind.

“Sylph…”

It was a spirit.

Sylphs were circling around the elf’s bow.

Arrows were shot one after another.

Another monster ran towards me, stepping on the monster that was rolling on the ground after being hit by an arrow.

A monster that has become so close that its shape can be seen with the naked eye.

Paramon shrugged and pointed at the monsters.

“The wall you are standing on now. Unlike humans, this one is not made by piling up stones.”

“yes?”

“Look.”

Kugugugugugugugugugu –

I felt a vibration that was incomparable to what I felt just now.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred.

It was a sight I had never seen before.

The ground was rising where Irene had said it would be.

“You should have told me this in advance…”

I should have known when I was told I would live a thousand years…

I should have thought that they were a race that had experienced the Continental War…

If I do this, it’s as if I’m telling the elves my fortune…

“It looks like it was ripped off…”

I’ve never refunded a lottery ticket.
