The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

118 – Enemies Everywhere (6)

Brainwashing. A spell that forces you to follow orders.

Naturally, the victim was unaware that he had been brainwashed.

It’s not easy for people around you to notice because it disguises itself as normal behavior and cleverly follows orders.

But if you are faced with the complete opposite of the order.

How do the victims react?

The case was happening right in front of my eyes.

“What are you all doing…?! Dry Helen quickly!”

Tyria pushed her Sophia wildly and sought help from her other companions.

However, contrary to her wishes, the confusion only increased.

“Veronia! Why did Helen suddenly…?!”

“Shut up! Shut up!”

Elves screaming as if their souls had gone out.

Confusion came over colleagues’ strange symptoms.

Among them, there was an elf pointing at me.

“This, human… ! It’s because of you! If only you hadn’t appeared… !”

His arms were outstretched violently as if he was going to attack me.

She quickly drew her sword and swung it through the air at her.

The direction of the blade was not in front of me, but behind me.

Chaeng!

A tingling pain and a sharp metallic sound echoed through the forest.

The piercing sound of metal instantly silenced the surroundings.

A quiet silence that came suddenly.

Among them, Erina was looking at me with a surprised expression.

“Erina. Put the knife in quickly.”

Erina was staring blankly at me as if she hadn’t grasped the situation yet.

But she’s not the only one surprised.

The elf that rushed at me also froze.

If I hadn’t blocked the blade, the elf’s head would have been cut.

The moment she realized that, her face was stained with fear.

“This, this person tried to kill you… !!”

“I am fine. So calm down.”

It was just an accident.

Even if Erina didn’t step forward, she had the confidence to subdue her.

No one was hurt, so it was okay.

But she gnashed her teeth as if she couldn’t understand Erina.

“Erina. Thank you for protecting me.”

“Then, that elf… !”

“Still, I want to avoid unnecessary collisions.”

I’ve witnessed Erina’s sudden actions countless times.

It’s absurd, but did I get used to it?

Not only was it not enough to become proficient in handling Erina, I was able to roughly predict her behavior.

“I’m sorry! My colleague made a mistake!”

Tyria hastily pushed her teammate away and bowed her head.

She didn’t want conflict with us either.

What is the reason to throw away the first hand of reconciliation?

“No. Are you okay.”

At my answer, Tyria looked relieved with a tired expression.

If the conflict started like this, there was nothing good for each other.

Me too, Tyria too. A situation that wants to be resolved through dialogue.

After that, the atmosphere softened a little and the situation calmed down.

Erina was still grinding her teeth and suppressing her anger, but she decided to ignore it for a moment.

“Has everyone calmed down?”

As if the excitement had subsided gradually, the elves kept their mouths shut and kept an eye on them.

Sophia, who suddenly screamed, and Helen, who vented her anger.

And other colleagues who sympathized with them.

Everyone was looking at us with confused expressions.

‘Are most of them brainwashed, as expected?’

It was more serious than expected. As I faced the situation with my own two eyes, my heart became impatient.

I had to tell Yulia right away and ask for reinforcements.

If we leave it as it is, there is only one ending.

‘The annihilation of the elves.’

The elves’ territory in Hellwood Forest will disappear forever.

“Why is everyone like that… ?”

No one answered the astonished voice.

Tyria looked around at her comrades. Most of her couldn’t make eye contact with her.

However, Tyria was calmer than ever.

“Sophia. Helen. Answer me.”

“…”

“Quickly! As a captain, this is an order!”

The two did not respond to Tyria’s shouts. No, i couldn’t

“Looks like you’ve been brainwashed.”

“Yes…?”

“It’s literally. If you get brainwashed by the demon king, you’ll end up at that point.”

Perhaps even elves know about brainwashing magic.

But is this the first time you’ve seen it with your own eyes?

“Brainwashing… Since when… !”

Tyria must have noticed by now.

Why did Sophia and Helen behave strangely?

She never heard a report of scouts.

Even the fact that what I said was not a lie.

“Can you believe me now?”

“…”

I can’t bear to speak with my own mouth, so I just move my lips.

It will not be easy for her to accept that her co-workers are committing her treachery.

But she had to accept reality. The elves in Helwood Forest were like lanterns in the wind.

And I was the only one who could solve this situation.

“My advice would be to arrest those who have been brainwashed immediately.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Sophia and Helen’s complexions turned pale.

Both eyes were bloodshot red, as if they would attack me at any moment.

I kept my body still to see if I was maintaining my reason, but it was only a matter of time.

“Everybody tie up Helen and Sophia! Hurry!”

Then, only five people followed Tyria’s orders. The other two did not move.

This allowed us to accurately identify the brainwashed personnel.

“A total of four people. Almost half of the scouting party was killed.”

Tyria looked at her comrades with an expression of disbelief.

Colleagues whom I valued a little while ago.

To think they were all being manipulated by the demon king’s army.

Tyria could not hide her suffering even as she tied her comrades with her own hands.

When she finally finished the situation, she looked up, revealing her tired and worried expression.

Who can help her in a situation where even her colleagues do not believe her?

“It is certain that there is a traitor.”

“…”

Tyria, the leader of the reconnaissance party, was speechless.

Wasn’t he completely unaware of his own comrades until they reached this point?

She was the moment when her incompetence was revealed.

“I will be honest. We need your help too.”

“…What does that mean?”

Once it became clear that there was a traitor.

But can the elves find the traitor?

‘Absolutely impossible.’

I already know the traitor’s identity.

That’s why I was sure. The elves will never find a traitor.

But if I intervene, the story will be different.

“Take me to the elves’ village.”

“Yes… ?”

“And let’s use Lucas to find the elven traitor.”

At my words, the buzz started to grow again.

Until now, humans have rarely reached the elven village.

As much as that, the elves must have an instinctive sense of rejection.

However, there were certainly those who were shaken by my words.

“I have no intention of staying long anyway. No matter how long it is, it will be a day or two.”

Whether or not to accept it is entirely up to Tyria.

It is unknown who is the traitor. No one could help her.

If you fall into the water, shouldn’t you catch at least a straw?

Ironically, the only person Tyria could trust was me.

Long silence. Finally a positive answer came back.

“Okay. I will guide you to the village.”

Dissenting opinions erupted against Tyria’s arbitrary decision.

But she seemed unwilling to change her decision.

“Are you really okay? Colleagues seem to have different ideas.”

“I will take responsibility somehow. Still, please observe a few precautions.”

First. The moment you enter the village, never use violence.

Second. If you find the traitor, leave the punishment to the elves.

Third. If you find all the traitors, leave town immediately.

“Finally, always accompany me.”

After listening to Tyria’s request, I nodded her head.

Most of the conditions were acceptable.

Due to the nature of elves living in closed tribes, this kind of restriction was understandable.

However, there was a voice that interrupted without fail.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“… !”

As expected, it seems that Erina did not like Tyria’s proposal.

In the first place, he hated the situation itself involving the elves.

In such a situation, I had to put all sorts of restrictions on entering and leaving the village.

Of course, Erina couldn’t accept it.

“Seohyun. Just go back.”

“Erina. Just a minute now…”

“I really can’t do it this time. It’s too dangerous!”

Her voice froze at Erina’s high voice.

I thought she was holding up well until now, but it seems that she is at her limit.

Ignoring all the gazes around me, I started to raise my voice.

“That b*tch tried to pounce on you! You never know what will happen when you get to town!”

“But I can’t go back now.”

“Why…why don’t you listen to me…!”

Suddenly, Erina started to annoy me with her sad voice.

She had only been encouraging Erina with nice words, but she never followed her words.

I thought she was calming me down, but I wonder if she was hoarding it inside.

“Is it okay if I think about it for a moment?”

“…I hope it doesn’t take too long.”

The Demon King’s corpse was still strewn about on the floor.

There was no time to stay long. She started talking to her colleagues in quiet suspense.

Of course, Celica and Kayla trusted me and followed my decision.

The problem has always been with Erina.

“Go back now. It doesn’t matter what happens to the elves… !”

“The demon army might occupy Hellwood Forest.”

“Then we have to deal with the demon king army by ourselves!”

Erina’s voice was gradually rising.

Is it not enough just to speak softly this time?

“Why… Are you always ignoring what I mean… ? Am I so untrustworthy?!”

“Erina.”

“I am always thinking of you… But why are you only listening to those b*tches…!”

I have never ignored Erina even for a moment.

But she couldn’t even listen to her request.

‘You’re a liar.’

Because you cheated on me first.

I don’t know what will happen if I follow your words.

‘So I have no choice but to fool you.’

Time was running out to accept Erina’s complaints.

However, it was obvious what would happen if Erina was scolded in this situation.

In the end, it took her negotiations to placate her.

“Erina.”

“Yes… !”

Eyes full of rebellion turned to me.

Fortunately, it was fortunate that even this situation was taken into account.

“Then let’s go to the elves’ village alone.”

“Yes… ? Really…?!”

Erina’s eyes widened at my sudden suggestion.

Feigning her smile, he carefully stroked the back of Erina’s hand.

“Yes. Because I believe in you.”

In an instant, a blush spread across her face.

Until now, while working with Kayla and Celica, I used to show uncomfortable signs from beginning to end.

To leave those two behind. It was the situation that Erina had wanted the most so far.

“If it were you, would you be able to protect me?”

“Yes… ! Yes Trust me! I won’t let anyone get close to you!”

The words that Erina wanted to hear so much.

When she said that she believes in herself, her face melted away.

The crying scene from a moment ago disappeared completely and the smile returned.

Even though the elves would accompany them, how could they be in Erina’s eyes?

I was happy that the two of us could be together even for just one day.

But the other two did not look good.

Especially Celica was looking at me with her uneasy eyes.

“Kayla. Celica. I have a request for you two.”

First of all, the status report is the priority. From Lucas’ betrayal to the situation in the elven village.

I had to go back to Tarn Village and tell Yulia everything that had happened so far.

Also, he had to call for reinforcements.

In order to confront the demon army, the help of the knights was absolutely necessary.

While Erina and I were in the elven village, I decided to leave the job to the two of them.

“My lord, are you sure… ?”

“Don’t worry.”

Before coming here, I shared my plans with Kayla in advance.

Kayla already knew her orders, but her uneasiness did not go away.

But she was too dangerous to take her to her elven village.

It was a long time ago, but Kayla had encountered the elves in Hellwood Forest.

In other words, it was very likely that there was an elf who knew Kayla’s face.

The moment her identity was discovered, it was certain that the situation would spiral out of control.

“Anyway, no matter how long it is, it’s only a day or two. I will return to the village soon.”

Fortunately, Kayla quietly nodded her head at my words.

Although he couldn’t erase his anxiety, he seems determined to follow my decision.

“Serica. Sorry. You look confused, but this is how things are.”

At my words, Celica waved her hand as if it was okay.

“No. Please leave it to me.”

“You never know what will happen. Always stay by Kayla’s side. Got it?”

If it was Kyla, I could trust Celica enough.

Knowing that the two of them are on good terms, I decided to put them together.

“Kayla. I’ll ask Celica.”

“Yes. We will definitely protect you.”

“If there is a conflict with the demon army, make sure to run away. Got it?”

Kayla held her hand tightly as if to ask her to believe in herself.

Because Kylie is no one else. Because she believes in her wholeheartedly.

I was finally able to breathe less.

“Come on. Then let’s all prepare.”

Each role has been decided.

From now on, it was a race against time.
