Chapter 378 - Episode Twenty-Four - Attack of the Doom Tribe (4)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
I was led out to the front of the store by a group of Doom tribe led by Dafne.
Mea followed, with Peter and Myunhi following a little later.
I checked with my eyes to make sure that Mea’s escort, the Ortem, was following her closely.
“…… Let’s resume our conversation, shall we? That Mea-sama is a red stone …… an abomination, condemned to be executed by the law of the Doom tribe for bringing misfortune.”
Dafne turns his back to me and speaks slowly.
I checked Mea’s condition by looking behind me.
Maybe it wasn’t a good thing for her to hear.
Mea hadn’t been informed and seemed to be upset.
“This is not a mere superstition, as it was once part of a pact with the royal family. However, it was made in the distant past and has no connection with the royal family in this generation. But you must understand that we are not saying these things out of our own accord.”
Dafne interrupted with a cough and looked back at me.
“The red stone should be handed over to us. It’s a dangerous thing.”
I didn’t think it was too urgent.
In fact, I felt a twinge of regret that it was too late, that I should have been more prepared for such a situation.
For some reason, I knew that the Doom tribe had been chasing Mea around, and from Kudor’s reaction, I knew that Mea was carrying some bad circumstances.
Now, though, the story of Dafne and the pact between the royal family and the Doom tribe would have been known if Peter had probed him about the Doom tribe.
Kudor knew about the ancestors of the Doom tribe, but he knew nothing about the last few hundred years.
“…… What are you going to do with Mea once you take her?”
“We’ll take her to a secluded place and dispose of her. The body will also be kept by the Doom tribe. Can’t you just hand her over? If the talks break down, we are prepared to take not only you, but also this village as collateral damage.”
Defne stated uninterestedly.
“You harassed her and kicked me out, and now you want me to kill you because you think it’s wrong not to. No matter how much you say it’s necessary, with your superior attitude and calling Mea a red stone, it shows your true colors.”
I raised my wand and pointed it at Dafne.
“If you really think you’re going to convince me, then I’ll destroy all of those shitty tribes together. I’m not going to call myself a representative of the tribe, even though you’re babbling about the Marren tribe. I’ll fight as one of Mea’s friends. “
Dafne paused for a moment, then his mouth drop slightly.
“You have found a good friend, Mea. That is the only thing that can save you.”
She heard Dafne mutter something, but could not make it out.
“…… U-Um, Uncle Dafne …… Well …… is this an order from father? It is, right?”
Mea asks Dafne.
Dafne’s brow wrinkles, looks away, and remains silent.
“I-, As I thought, It is, huh …… Father ordered for Mea to ……”
Mea shrunk back and let out a tear.
Dafne sniffed derisively.
“Hah, It’s not about Melzef-sama. He was opposed to the idea, so we acted without his permission out of concern for the future of the Doom tribe. It’s his weakness that his judgment is clouded when it comes to his beloved daughter …… It was Melezef-sama who agreed to kill the red stone as soon as it was found, and now he’s acting so selfishly, I doubt he’s qualified to be our chief ……”
Dafne showed his teeth with an eerie smile and shook his head.
“You ……!”
I don’t know the specifics, but I got the general idea.
They are probably the most radical group of the Doom tribe.
He was ridiculously polite, but his disregard for Mea was evident in every word he said.
“If you won’t back down, Marren, we will force our way through you. The future of the Doom Tribe and this nation is at stake. Backing down is not an option. I will take a one-on-one approach at first to convince you, but even if I lose, they will not back down. I’d like you to understand that the stakes are too great. I’m a warrior myself, and I don’t want to be as sneaky as possible, so I’ll tell you first.”
As soon as Dafne spoke, the other Doom tribesman raised their weapons behind him.
It seems that as soon as the battle is over, he will forcefully take Mea without saying a word.
“Although, I have no intention of losing, either. There is no shame in losing, you are still young and the Marren tribe have not known war for a long time. But we have trained ourselves for this moment. And from what I’ve seen, you’re a typical sorcerer type with no physical training. In a battle of many, however, it will only work against lesser opponents …… We have the ancient art of spears and footwork for mages.”
Dafne held the spear with both arms and thrust the tip deep into the ground.
His arms were filled with strength and swelled to the point where they could be seen from a distance.
His face also changed and became that of a warrior.
“…… Strengthening the body with magic power.”
The unique expansion of those muscles is a form of body enhancement using magic.
I’ve only seen a handful of people who can use it to their advantage.
“You know it well. I’ve heard that you used to be able to use it, but Isn’t it already lost? Now, let me show you what a real duel is. It will be in the style of the Doom tribe, though. At least you can take solace in the fact that you fought me to the best of your ability on this day.”
…… I thought he was just a small guy with a mouth, but he might be a little more than that.
He’s a real warrior, clearly trained in the art of war with a view to fighting against others, unlike me.
An adventurer from the city would not be able to bring out this kind of spirit.
I can feel the strong will in his eyes.
Like the Marren, they had been living in seclusion for a long time.
The Doom tribe was not on Peter’s list of threats, but it would not be surprising if they were powerful.
“Flame, form, ball”
I shoot the ball of flame at Dafne’s feet.
“Mmm!”
The explosion of flames gouged the ground and flicked Dafne off.
The spear he was holding pierced the roof in the distance.
Dafne’s body was also slammed into the wall of a house at a distance.
The Doom tribe, who had been holding their spears ready to leap out of the way if something went wrong, were in the same position and had straight faces.
“What, is it just my imagination ……?”
I muttered.
It was not as bad as I had feared.
I’m glad I took out some insurance and didn’t let it hit me.
Dafne’s eyes widened and he screamed.
“Sca-, scatter! This guy is a pawn of Julem!”
They all started to move as if they remembered and quickly jumped away from the scene.
Dafne was ripped from the wall and slowly fell to the ground.
