Chapter 1479: The Approaching War That I (Unwillingly) Provoked

Without realizing it at all, war was approaching. The Human Empire had allied with the Human Nations and they all desire to take over the damn Elven Forest for its rich resources and also fertility for the plantation and harvesting of crops, which can even attain magical powers and become great plants to eat. I’ve eaten a lot of salad made out of these veggies and they’re very tasty, I loaded my Item Box with them just to bring them back home.

Anyways, I am partially at fault of this, after all I am the one that provoked the discord between elves and humans even more because I slaughtered the entire kingdom that summoned me and saved the little Elfina from being kidnaped there, oof. Oh well, at the very least I saved her, and its not like they weren’t at discord before, but they had the princess of the elves so the elves were not attacking because that Human Kingdom threatened them with hurting Elfina, most likely. Nonetheless, that’s resolved now as I’ve heroically saved her, but what’s sucks is that she’s now coming to war?!

It has already been two days since the talk with Floresse and we have already arrived at the town of the Dark Labyrinth, the Human Nation Empire Alliance was moving forward from the fertile lands of the humans, but they were going to take at least two more days to reach our territory. The army of the elf kingdom and the other fiefdoms was already reaching in and were all gathering for war. Things were rather tense, and it made me a bit sad because the entire town was supposed to be cheery and filled with the air of adventure, but war is no joke, and even more when the peace-loving elves are forced to it due to the circumstances.

“We see again, Kireina.”

A giant white dragon greeted me this morning, yep, it as Luminous, he came here as a representative of the Kingdom of the Elves, and he was even going to participate in the war against the humans. He dislikes wars but has recognized that humans had gone too far now by trying to use magic of the past (such as forcing summon of entities from other worlds) and wants to put a stop to them by helping the elves defeat their army.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect it at all, I thought you were never going to become a recurrent character, yet here you are!” I sighed while crossing my phantasmal arms.

“What are you even talking about?” Sighed Luminous. “Ah, well, anyways, the Human Empire is participating in this war, so I cannot really stay still, even more because through my Skills that can see through glimpses of the future, I’ve seen strange things… Humans are using powers I had not seen before, and no, they’re not just the ones from Bloodline Inheritance.”

“What? What sort of skills are you talking about?” Wondered the glorious me.

“Well… I am not truly sure. But I saw their armies being strangely resilient… Darkness approaching within the skies, and… red eyes, countless of red eyes. And lastly, the strong scent of blood… I cannot really tell what’s truly going on right now, but it surely doesn’t seem good.” Sighed Luminous. “Whatever the Human Empire has been doing and experimenting until now, it is certainly something that cannot be taken lightly.”

“Red eyes, darkness in the sky and… resilient and the scent of blood?” I wondered. “Huh, I wonder what’s that all about… I think it makes me remember something…”

“Well, you don’t really know about this world’s politics or history that much, so I doubt it is anything relevant.” He said. “Nonetheless, this is a good chance for you and Elfina and Fiere to go to the Dark Labyrinth and level up. Elfina showcased the power to summon you in battle, your bond as summoner and summon is still ever-present, I think there could be a way for her to grow stronger if she continues to level up, right?”

“Yeah, I do remember I lend her my two magic spears to her and she used them to slay the army of demons led by Wrath, she leveled a lot in there, and unlocked the Summon Invocation Skill that allows her to bring me to her side wherever she is… It is an annoying skill at that.” I sighed. “Nonetheless, her Class is indeed pretty unique, I think she might be able to develop more skills by leveling up as you said, so I guess we can really make her level up for it.”

“Yeah, and I can go as well.” Said Luminous. “I’ve discovered a high concentration of darkness and malice within the Dark Labyrinth that has been growing lately for the last years, I’ve been too busy to deal with it, but a big monster might be lying in there, let’s quickly slay it while we are at it. I doubt I can level up that much in that place, but any strength I can get is appreciated… the Human Empire has a strange trump card we’ll have to discover in the middle of the battlefield, I need to be well prepared, even as a God’s descendant my life is not assured.”

“You’re putting a lot in the line, are you sure you want to go into war yourself? If you get killed then there’s no more gods in the world…” I sighed.

“Worry not, I am mighty enough for a good fight… I will have you protecting my back as well, isn’t it?” He asked with a smile.

“Heh, you’re already relying on me so easily? I guess there’s no helping it, big lizard.” I laughed.

“D-Don’t call me big lizard!” Sighed Luminous.

“Are you guys ready?” Wondered Elfina, who walked into the large hall where both of us were resting, this was another manor from her family member we were staying in. Our sizes too big to be inside the little rooms.

“Yeah, let’s go, Elfina.” I said with a confident tone of voice.

It was time to go level up some more! I think this is the last obstacle I have to tackle down before reaching the Demon King and then going back to Genesis, so I will do my best.
