The Ruined Death Knight

"Dark elves...not humans?"

Asking that made the bald Oliver look weird at me before answering.

"Haha, of course, they are elves! it might be hard to see cause it's dark inside here, but look at their ears. It's clear that they are relatives of the elve race!"

'Hmm, taking a better look at their faces they do have long and pointing ears...'

"So...why are only these three inside this wagon?"

For 3 slaves 1 wagon? compared to the other wagons this one could be considered empty.

Scratching this bald head, Oliver started explaining.

"Well...they are two reasons for this, Sir Knight. Since these three are of the highest quality I couldn't possibly risk them being damaged by the mercenaries I hired..."

"By mercenaries, you mean the guys that I killed?"

"Yes..." he said with a bitter smile.

If we are talking about these idiots then I do understand the reason for keeping these 3 away of them. Heck, the moment I came here I cached 2 guys about to 'damage' this product.

"That sure is reasonable...what's the other reason?"

"The second reason is..." Pointing this finger at the older dark elve he said.

"This wrench over there is capable of dark magic. More specifically illusion magic. Even though I restrained her with mana draining chains she is somehow still able to cast her magic. Cause of that she is too dangerous to be let with others..."

Hearing that it suddenly downed me.

The message of being effect by [Nightmare] and immediately after appearing to the waters of pure nothingness.

And these voices...

"You lead me inside here, without letting me know about her and her magic?" With my cold voice and the small realize of killing intent I looked at the bald guy.

Realizing this mistake, this face soon turned deadly pale by the deadly aura of the knight.

"S-Sir, I didn't mean any har-"

Before he could finish I punched him directly at this stomach while controlling my strength.

It wasn't enough to kill him, but it was just enough to send him flying to the wooden walls and throw whatever he had from breakfast to the floor.

'This bastard...he probably wanted to backstab me while I was dazed by that damn long ears over there.'

The ethereal flame on my eyes soon turned cold.

Seeing me who just blasted the fat guy coming at them the 2 young girls behind the older one started to weep.

"Sister..."

"Sis..."

"Shhh, everything will be alright. Big sister will protect you guys." With a sweet voice, the older elve assured the two behind her back.

Turning towards me her face turned serious and no sight of her previews smile was to see.

"You can do whatever you want with me! But don't you dare touch the sisters of mine! I will take their plac-"

I suddenly grabbed her neck and lifted her in the air.

"You think you got the privilege to demand whatever you want after you made me remember 'that' place!?"

"Sis!"

"Let her go you beast!"

The two small elves leaned over me and started to pull at my armor.

"..."

Now that I am closer at them I finally noticed the similarities between this two.

They both had black hair and purple eyes.

'Are they twins...?'

Ignoring such thought I pushed the two aside.

"Kyaah."

"*Sob* Sis..."

"You...!

Even though I didn't use much strength, it was still too much...

"It doesn't matter what you think of me and even if it does your death should make it so."

The runes of the Veren sword are shown in ominous dark red light.

Holding the Veren sword right in front of her chest ready to pierce through.

But before I could even do the act...

"Cough~Cough, Sir Knight! Don't kill her! You will get cursed!"

"Huh?"

Seeing my confusion he started to clarify what he said while holding this big belly out of pain.

"Sir! Once you kill one of them you will be marked by the curse of the dark elves! It isn't worth it!"

"..."

'Does he want me to spare them so that she can sell them or do they really have a curse like that? Never less it doesn't matter, once I use status on her I will know...'

It was natural for me to doubt this guy's words, after all, he might even plot to kill me by using the night elves.

What I didn't know though was that my assumption was almost right.

Yes, the merchant Oliver wasn't very fond of me making him this servant, not forgetting killing these slaves.

This forming a plan to kill me with this dagger while I was under the illusion of influence.

But this will to rebel against the dreadful knight that I had instantly removed or rather punched out by him.

Scared to gain the wrath of such a figure he didn't dare to lie anymore!

'Status'

[Status]

Name: Melina Darkwood

Race: [Dark Elve]

Level: 43

Class:[ Dark Mage Lv. 3]

Sub-class: [Illusion Conjure Lv. 8]

Health: 540/570

Mana:0/1510

Attributes: Strength: 17 Agility: 34 Intelligence: 121 Endurance: 57 Stamina: 67

[Talent]: [Dark Elve] [Curse of Vengeance] [...] [...] [...] ...

[Skills]: [Dark Sphere] [...] [...] [ Mindmare]...

[Remark: A great sorcerers that strived to learn the magic school of illusions. Unfortunately for her, the love of her family reduced her to the current state that she is now.]

"!!"

'What the hell is with this status!? Level 43? 1510 mana? If her mana wasn't at 0 she would have obliterated me!'

Watching her huge amount of skills that I couldn't read bought a feeling of dread in me.

And I was supposed to be an undead who doesn't know fear!

After being stunned for a moment, I cleared my head and read whatever I could for status.

[Dark Elve:] A distant relative of the elves. Similar to the elves, the dark elves aging process is massively reduced by the age of 20, and their life expectancy is on average 300 years. They have a natural talent for the dark arts and dark vision.

[Daek Sphere]" A concentrated ball of darkness that can be shot. Although powerful, the power of the spell lowers by 20% against any kind of barriers.

[Mindmare:] A combination of dark and illusion magic. It allows putting someone's mind into this worse nightmare that he had lived. The duration depends on the enemy's strength. Although the spells don't use any mana and only the mind, it's highly demanding on the mind. Can be cast once per day.

[Curse of Vengeance]: A spell put by the Elders of the Dark Elve to the children of their race. The curse's sole purpose is to transfer to the one who killed the original owner so that the members of the Dark Elves can know who to enact their revenge upon.

"So this is what you mean..."

Looking at her stuff made me almost curse out loud.

Sure, her race talent and the Dark sphere spell sounded pretty average, but putting your enemy's on their worst nightmare? Marking the killers?

Fu#k are those guys, lunatics, to put such things on them!?

Moving my gaze towards the two small ones, I slightly scratch both of them on their knees to see if those two are some kind of level 43 monster like her.

"You bastard! What the hell are you doing to my sisters!"

"..."

Damn, calm down woman. You make it sound like I cut their legs or something.

Anyways, the two were named Serah Darkwood and Senna Darkwood. Fortunately enough both of them were level 2 with no skills none talents to see.

Expect of the curse and race talents of course.

'Hmm, that's a problem. I can't kill them nor can I take them with me. Killing them is like shooting myself in the foot while screaming to the whole damn dark elve race that I killed one of them and taking them with me in the carriage is also a no go.'

Since we will be taking only one carriage I will be forced to stay with someone who potentially can put me in a nightmare.

'That's way too dangerous...'

After a short moment of awkward silence, an idea came to my mind.

If you can't deal with the stench of trash then thrown them outside!

Gathering my mana into the Veren Sword I used [Wind Blade] at the wall.

*Baahm!

"Sir!"

"Be quiet, you. Talk once again and I will break those legs of you..." I turned my gaze towards the dark elve I was holding.

"You guys are lucky."

With a swift strike of my, the chains of hers broke into pieces.

"You...what are you?"

Everyone in the room had a stunned expression on their face.

But I didn't care enough to explain.

"Tell me, dark elve. Have you ever heard the saying..." I said while lifting her outside the hole I made.

Melina would have appreciated the warm light and the clear sky that she hasn't seen for a long time if it weren't for the fact she was held by her neck.

Before she could question the one that held her from her neck, she was cut short by these actions.

"An eye for an eye!"

Without letting her comprehend my words, my actions shortly did!

Circulating mana in my legs to active [Sprint] I kicked her to the left knee, this breaking her one leg and sending her out of the carriage.

*Crack!

"Ahhhhh!"

"Sis!"

"Sister!"

Looking at the other two, I simply cut their chains like their older sister and thrown them outside.

Although I didn't break one of their knees, the height of the carriage was still enough for such small children to get their knees scratched.

But the pain of the fall didn't stop the twins from rash towards their hurt sister.

"Big Sis!"

"Sister! are you alright!?"

The pain of her broken knee quickly faded away looking at both her adorable little sisters.

As she were to assure both of them, a dark mist engulfed the twins before entering their bodies.

Seeing that happens she froze like a standing corpse, knowing the indication of this mist.

Her face turned full in horror, before she yelled at the one who did that.

"You..!"

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. What you have done to me I will do to you twice as worse. Don't think me as cruel."

Turning my back towards them I said.

"You leg and the curse of these two was the price of you putting me into this nightmare. The curse is temporary and if you go further away from me it will break. And I advise you to do as such. The soldiers of the city are coming to this place. And I truly wonder what these guys will do to you, especially these two..."

Melina's eyes opened wide upon hearing what I said.

She seemed to want to say something but I already went inside before she could utter something.

I just didn't care what this three want to say.

Feeling the mana of the curse that I placed on these twins going further away it seemed they followed my advice.

Which was good for me, since it would even be annoying if they were to follow me.

"S-Sir Knight...why did you let these three go?"

'Right... this fat #ss is still here...was this name Oliver or something?'

"You, choose 10 of you slaves and put them at the first carriage"

"Huh? Why..."

Raising the Veren sword at this throat. With some killing intend and my cold voice, I said.

"Don't question me, I ain't repeating myself."

"Y-Yes! I will do it right away! So please put the blade away..."

"You got 5 minutes to choose, no longer."

"Yes!"

And after that, in less than 5 minutes Oliver choose 10 of these slaves which were unsurprisingly all women...

Originally each carriage had had 20 slaves not counting the one that held the dark elves. Which in total were 40 slaves in total.

But I didn't have any plans of bringing every single of them with me.

After my previews massacre, they were 31 slaves in total.

Counting the 10 slaves that I will take their still were 21slaves left.

And unlike I did with the dark elves.

I slaughtered the remaining 21 mercilessly.

After all, those guys' parents weren't such lunatics like the dark elves who put curses on their children.

Which in my hollow eyes make them no different than some kind of walking XP bags, ready to be harvested at any time.

After finishing the 'clean up' and entering the carriage.

The 10 slaves' bodies started to shake abnormally with everyone avoid to make eye contact with me.

I simple shrugged my shoulders at them.

It wasn't that I didn't understand the behavior.

After all, if they killed off 21 people that you knew simply entered the same room. You couldn't help but be scared and stressed.

That or this guy heard the voices of the agony of those unlucky 21...

"Hey, I finished already. You can start the carriage."

"Y-Yes, Sir Knight!"

*Higaah

With the horse pulling the carriage and the newly 15500 XP in my storage.

We headed to the capital!
