Only I Am Immune to Magic

Episode 137. Grimgor

‘You opened your eyes and cut your nose.’

Elrond city center. Near the root of the World Tree.

Tinuviel made a confused expression as he looked at the rejuvenated World Tree.

As soon as she came out of the heart of the World Tree, she went up to the place where all the residents of the city could see and announced that the World Tree was healed, and at the same time announced the Declaration of Elrond.

The residents were greatly shaken by the fact that most of Elrond’s rights had passed to Aaron, but quickly changed their attitude after realizing that he was the one who saved the World Tree.

“Don’t look like you lost your country. What’s wrong with just signing a contract once?”

Aaron looked at the pensive Tinubiel and said.

Tinuviel stared at him and tried to say something, but soon turned his head away.

Aaron thoroughly pretended to be the incarnation of the world tree in front of others, but when his eyes disappeared, he returned to his original state.

Tinubiel’s stomach was boiling, but it was true that he had saved Elrond, so he couldn’t bear to treat him carelessly.

“Why did you call in the army?”

After losing her temper for a moment, she changed the subject.

After the Declaration of Elrond, Aaron immediately declared that the current situation was a war and took control of the wartime operation himself according to the contract.

In effect, he became the commander-in-chief of the High Elf army.

As soon as he took command, he summoned all of the Holy Legion and the Elrond defenders who had been waiting in the outskirts into the city center.

If there were no outer defenses, the Orcs would advance unimpeded to the city center when the curtain was breached, so why did they take such a risk?

“Now that the World Tree has been restored, we must drive out the Orcs.”

“… … I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Tinubiel frowned at Aaron’s words that seemed to be catching clouds.

In order to drive out the Orcs, of course you have to go outside the tent and fight, but this guy did the exact opposite, so it was frustrating.

“How long will it take to reactivate after disabling the World Tree Veil?”

“Why are you asking that? Are you sure you were thinking of disarming the veil again?”

The Veil of the World Tree is not an artifact that can be turned on and off at will.

Not too long ago, when I briefly disabled it to let the holy corps inside, the power of the World Tree was noticeably reduced, and if I did that, the healing I had done could be nullified.

“Since I hit the water of life, there will be no going back like before. Don’t worry, let me know the restart time.”

“… … About 10 minutes.”

Tinuviel reluctantly replied.

It took almost 30 minutes to restart when the power was weak before, but now that the power has been restored, it can be activated faster than that.

“good. That’s enough.”

“Is that enough? Don’t go round and round, talk about the point.”

“To dig a trap.”

“trap?”

“huh. Pretend that the World Tree’s power has run out, remove the shield, then lure them into one place and strike them down.”

“… … It is a reckless idea.”

Tinuviel looked at him with a pathetic face.

Orcs were not stupid enough to be subjected to such low numbers.

Although they may have lower average intelligence than other sapients, each tribal chieftain and shaman were much smarter than other sapients.

In particular, Warchief Grimgor used the great forest’s landmarks better than the high elves, making them mistaken for whether there was a spy among the elves.

“I know orcs are smart. So, you have to prepare a good bait that you know and get hit.”

After saying that, Aaron looked at Tinuviel with meaningful eyes.

“… … under.”

Tinuviel looked into his eyes and frowned.

‘Crazy guy.’

He intended to use the high elf queen as bait.

* * *

“Stop.”

a few hours later Early morning when the dawn breaks.

A group of troops appeared in front of the curtain of the World Tree on the outskirts of Elrond.

High Elf Queen Tinubiel, dozens of Royal Guards, and five Knights of the Holy Legion.

The composition was too modest for an escort force, but since the World Tree’s veil was still intact, it shouldn’t have been a problem.

“Grimgor! Warchief Grimgor, come forward!”

The captain of the guard shouted through the curtain.

“… … what?”

The orcs, who had been sleeping until then, slowly woke up at the sound and approached the tent.

“hey! Guys! look at this! The queen herself came by herself!”

“oh! Are you real? What’s the point of a b*tch who shut herself up in the palace and only sucks her fingers?”

“Looking at the world tree, it looks like the sh*t line is f*cking burnt!”

“Puhahahahaha!”

When the orcs woke up and saw Tinuviel standing beyond the veil, they mocked him unsparingly.

“Brothers.”

Sreung! Sureureung!

It was then. Knights in white armor drew their swords in an instant and came forward through the curtain.

“Ooh!”

“Keuk!”

Some of the orcs who had put their faces in front of the curtain and mocked them fell into a trance, spraying blood in an instant.

“What are those bastards!”

“They are human! How do humans get through the veil!”

“I know yeah!”

“Hurry up and raise your weapon, you assholes!”

The Orcs jumped out of the tent and saw the humans slaughtering their colleagues, and they grabbed their weapons in horror.

But by the time they raised their weapons and set up camp, the knights had already returned to their tents.

“Are those bastards back in?”

“Wasn’t this something that only elves could pass through?”

“Are they mutant elves? Sometimes there were guys with horns on their heads.”

“That’s a druid, you idiot.”

“Who knows if those bastards are also druids?”

The orcs exchanged trivial words while watching the knights freely enter and exit the World Tree’s veil.

‘Surely they are the children of the Sephiroth.’

Tinubiel also muttered to himself when he saw the white knights standing like statues.

It was none other than the Divine Guard who had just slaughtered the orcs.

Since they were divine weapons created by the light goddess Sephiroth herself, they could freely enter and exit the tent created by the demigod World Tree.

“I must have told you not to go near the tent.”

While the confrontation continued across the veil for a while, the group of orcs split left and right, and a black orc one head taller than the others appeared.

It was Grimgor, the leader of the Orc army that rallied the Orcs of the Wasteland and invaded the Great Forest.

“… … .”

The orcs, who had been talking loudly until a moment ago, became silent as if he had died when he opened his mouth.

Grimgor looked around them with demonic crimson eyes, and then came to stand at a distance from the tent.

“Tinuviel… You have really come a long way. I thought I would only be able to see it after entering the World Tree.”

His voice sounded like the screams of someone in a cave.

A dark voice that made cold sweat run down my back and chill in my heart every time I heard a word.

Even with the curtain in between, it seemed that life force was being sucked out every moment.

profit- profit-

Just as Tinubiel was about to say something, some orcs dragged a man tied to a rope and set him in front of Grimgor.

“… … .”

The faces of Tinuviel and the guards hardened.

The one tied to the rope was none other than a high elf man.

“Oops! Ugh!”

The man had no signs of torture or beatings, and his mind was intact. Even while he was being dragged, he wriggled his body and glared at the orcs.

“Hmm, breakfast is here. I was hungry at the time, but it was fine. Excuse me for a moment.”

Grimgor begged the Queen for pardon, and removed the prisoner’s gag like unwrapping food.

“Dirty Orcs! Are you finally going to torture me! Do it wherever you want! It will never turn out the way you guys want it to!”

As the gag was removed, the man spat out barbed words as if he had waited.

“It’s torture. I must have misunderstood something. Don’t worry, I have no interest in spoiling the taste of food.”

From noble mtl dot com

Grimgor replied with a grim expression, then turned the man’s face so that he could see through the veil.

“I can’t let go of this… … ?”

The man who shook his head vigorously stopped talking at the sight he could see through the curtain.

Queen Tinuviel and her guards.

The people I missed so much were looking at me with indescribable expressions.

“Since the Queen personally came, I will give you a special opportunity to leave a will. If you have something to say, say it.”

Having said that, Grimgor took a few steps away from the woman.

“Your Majesty the Queen. I’m sorry for showing you this rudeness. I am… aaagh!”

At one point, the man who was shedding tears and leaving a will opened his mouth wide and let out a shrill scream.

“Yes Ino Ohm!”

Tinuviel, who had been listening to the will with a confused face, shouted with a blood clot in his neck.

Grimgor, who had approached the man before he knew it, stretched out his hand and began to suck in the vitality.

dump-

The man, who sucked all his life in an instant, was abandoned like a piece of baggage with all his skin and muscles shrunken like a deflated balloon.

“Hmm, the others were out of energy and didn’t taste very good, but this one is a little better.”

Grimgor licked his lips and sat down on top of the parched corpse.

“Now that the meal is over, let’s start talking. tell me your business Queen. Why did you come here?”

“… … I have come to negotiate.”

Tinuviel clenched his fists and trembled before speaking after a while.

“Negotiation?”

Grimgor tilted his head and asked again.

A little bit of interest appeared on his face, which seemed to have lost all interest in the world.

“The word “negotiation” comes out even after going through this kind of situation. It must be urgent.”

“Isn’t it urgent for you guys too?”

“Hmm, why do you think so?”

“If you cannot absorb the life force, you will die. Shaman is a month. Warrior two months. Am I wrong?”

Tinuviel quickly made up his mind and continued.

If an orc who has awakened his body with the power of black magic does not absorb life force for a certain period of time, the demon inside his body runs out of control and dies.

That’s why the Orcs have been advancing all the way here without a single day’s rest.

If Elrond was not captured before the effects of the black magic wore off, all the orcs here would die.

“What is that b*tch saying now?”

“Are we dying?”

“I heard you’re behind in two months?”

“Didn’t you say something like that?”

The orcs who heard Tinubiel’s words began to be shaken.

They only knew that if they accepted black magic, their bodies would become stronger and run out of control before dying, but they had never heard of dying even if they stayed still.

“Warchief. The words of that year are true… Oooh!”

A fearless orc approached Grimgor and tried to bite him, but his life force was drained in an instant and he died.

“Stupid bastards. Stop reacting to lies that aren’t even worth dealing with.”

“… … .”

The orcs who had been talking about the withered figure and Grimgor’s threats immediately fell silent.

‘It’s true.’

From his reaction, Tinuviel realized what he had just said was the truth.

In fact, she didn’t even say it with certainty.

This is because all of the above information was provided by Aaron as he conceived the plan.

“You will find out in two months whether my words are lies or not. At that time, every orc here will lay their ax on you.”

“Your confidence is great. Queen.”

“Of course you shouldn’t. I know when you will meet your doom, but not you.”

“Heh heh. Did you come all the way here just to say that? okay. We do not know when the world tree will wither. But you can tell that there are only a few days left.”

Grimgor smiled lowly and pointed at the World Tree in the distance.

“I know very well what its original color was. But now it looks like a rotting pig’s eye. A life that endures in a thin curtain that may disappear at any moment. It’s really good. It must be like living a life with a limited number of days.”

“… … .”

Tinuviel silently glared at Grimgor.

As expected, he had an accurate idea of Elrond’s situation.

Had it not been for Aaron’s arrival, the high elves would have disappeared into history within a week.

“The time-limited life is not us, but you guys who have at most two months left… … .”

Chijik- Chijik-

It was when Tinuviel was about to continue his next words.

The curtain of the world tree, which had become infinitely thin, flickered like fireflies running away in surprise, and disappeared in an instant.

“… … .”

Tinubiel and Grimgor, as well as everyone around them, hardened as if time had stopped.

“Run away. High Elf.”

Keter, the head of the Divine Guard, broke the short silence and raised his sword.
