Chapter 76.2: Arcturus (1)
“Human nobles would nonchalantly kill their siblings born from the same womb, but I don’t understand why someone like you would save your half-sibling.”
Cain didn’t open his mouth.
But Oleciren and Vanderbilt felt it when they saw Cain’s face.
Something was starting to boil inside him now.
Unaware of it, the elf, Sigma, dismissed Cain’s silence as something difficult to say.
“The mongrel born by a mongrel. Even if you pull them out and trample them, they survive like weeds on the outskirts of the forest. Isn’t it time to end it?”
“How did you pull them out and trample them?”
Cain’s tone was normal.
He expected it.
He knew from what he had heard how closed off the elves were, and how harsh they were to wandering elves or half-elves who were not connected to the queen or the World Tree.
However, the elves Cain met were the elves of the continent.
He had never heard of what Arna or Abel had suffered from the elves of Airian Island.
He didn’t even think to ask and dig into their wounds.
Sigma calmly told what had happened in the past.
“Human children seem to need a lot of water. So we blocked all the wells on the outskirts of the forest. So Arna can’t use it.”
“…….”
“Arna herself could have survived for days without water, and she could have left the forest, but the child needed the World Tree’s protection, so she couldn’t leave.”
“She could have left Abel for a while and went to get some water.”
Sigma then smiled a strange smile that only a doll could make.
“Of course, if the trash that was too big to be left alone was separated, we would have cleaned it up.”
Arna, the mercenary known as ‘Flash Flash’, was strong.
Even an elder would have a hard time claiming victory in a one-on-one match.
That was why they had left her alone, but she had calmly uttered the terrible words that they would kill Abel if she left him behind for a moment.
Thud━ Thud━.
There was an even more eerie sound, as if the railroad tracks were cut off, and Sigma continued her unfinished words.
“But our queen was merciful and let her go after receiving only one of her senses.”
Cain tilted his head.
“Senses?”
“She offered her sense of taste.”
“…….”
The reason why Arna’s apple pie tasted bad. The reason why she herself thought it was okay.
It was only the mercenary’s sense of taste, which had been honed by constant fighting, that was abnormal.
He just thought it was strange from the time, but it wasn’t.
Sigma continued, unaware of what Cain was thinking.
“And then she offered her left arm for a year.”
“For a year?”
“An oath to the queen. If she didn’t use her left arm for a year, it would be returned to her as it was. If she did, she would be forced to kill Abel with her own hands.”
“……!”
“Like that, every year.”
Sigma pointed to each part of her body and continued cheerfully.
“Arm, leg, nose, ear…… That spawn didn’t use them. We wanted to see her use them freely and kill her child.”
“…….”
“But now, I’ll see those half-breeds die. We’ll just stand by as long as you keep your promises, but you humans kill whoever you don’t like without caring about such things.”
Sigma grinned.
As she made a twisted smile with her incomparably beautiful face, Cain remembered Abel’s words.
━The elves of the North are sons of bitches.
Even Abel, who became a warrior, was indifferent to his death, but when it came to elves, he gritted his teeth.
━I lived by sucking my mother’s blood.
Even the young Abel of the present considered the time he lived on the outskirts of the elf forest to be hell.
He didn’t know why until now.
But now he could understand.
That was why he was grateful to Sigma.
He looked straight at Vanderbilt, and the elderly knight understood his intentions with just a glance and began escorting Oleciren, moving to the side of Isoel.
“Toying with the heart of a mother who wants to protect her child like that.”
Boom━.
Cain’s foot stomped on the train.
It wasn’t just the sound of weight, but a vibration that felt like all of his murderous aura was exploding.
“Are you happy?”
“I don’t know what the problem is.”
Sigma’s eyes widened as if she really didn’t understand Cain’s anger.
“After all, humans too…….”
“Humans or elves.”
Cain cut her off.
Swoosh━.
And he grabbed Agweska with both hands. He pointed the end at Sigma’s head.
“If you do that in front of me, you die.”
Srng━.
Sigma naturally drew her silver sword and then smirked at Cain.
“You are such an emotional human being. What makes you so confident? And my subordinates are aiming for this place right now━.”
Thud━.
Cain interrupted her again and kicked off.
‘Even if you say a lot of nonsense, you’ll still die.’
If you’re talking, you can’t help but be a beat late.
Cain’s Agweska rushes in a straight trajectory.
Chaaeng━!
At the same time, the knights break through the windows and rush in!
Vanderbilt and Isoel each took up positions on either side of Oleciren and began to fight them.
Shhhheeeeek━.
Cain’s Agweska ripped through the air and stabbed.
Chaeng━!
But Sigma is Sigma.
As befitting the name of 〈Ross de Kaerot〉’s knight commander, she deflected Cain’s sword with her sword wrapped in green aura.
But it was impossible to do it completely.
She pushed Cain’s sword, which was aiming for her neck, to the side, but only slightly.
It cut her ear in half and stretched back.
“Opening.”
At the same time, Sigma smiled wide enough for her mouth to reach her ears.
She expected that she would have an advantage if she got this close, even though it was much heavier than expected, but.
Cain hit Sigma’s collarbone with the handle of Agweska.
Kwaang━!!
At the same time, the knee pops out.
He struck Sigma in the pit of her stomach, twisting her body against the opposite side of the passenger car.
“Cough━. How.”
Her neatly combed green hair became disheveled, and she coughed up blood as her insides shook.
“Kill that human━.”
And the order she spits out.
Knights with empty green eyes also rush towards Cain.
Pazizizizizic━.
Pure White Thunderbolt, boiling all over Cain’s body, burns his nerves, stimulates his muscles, and runs through his whole body!
Even his Agweska was dyed with lightning.
Swoosh━.
He slashed across the waists of the two Elveknights who were rushing at him from both sides at once.
“Edmund’s child is indeed…….”
“It’s not Edmund who’s amazing. It’s me.”
“Kkuk, Keuk.”
Sigma chuckled.
But that smile also stopped at Cain’s next words.
“Glumiêm, come out.”
“……?”
“I know you’re watching this sneakily. Come out, now.”
Rumble, rumble-!
At that moment, Sigma’s eyeballs began to spin.
To the point where a human could never turn, only the whites of her eyes remained.
《Both father and son are equally arrogant.》
The fighting on the train stopped.
A strange momentum began to flow, as if all space existed for her, and Sigma’s body floated into the air.
《But unlike your father, you seem to know a lot about elves? Arna couldn’t have told you because she was under a vow of silence…….》
Shaeeeeeee━!
The sound of a sword ripping through the air.
‘They all talk too much.’
Cain’s sword rushed out again.
At the end of it was the ‘line’ that became clearly visible in Cain’s eyes as the elf queen Glumiêm descended.
A silver line extending north from the top of Sigma’s head.
