Chapter 10: The incredible power of the elf
Perfect Guard, a technique in the game that not everyone masters, can cancel enemies' attacks using a simple shield, even something that looks like one as long as it can be sustained.
This technique is really effective against the ranged attacks of the guardians, who shoot lasers from their eyes, since by using the Perfect Guard technique you can reflect the attack and return it to its owner.
For this technique to be successful, it must be used at the exact moment, so it takes a bit of experience and luck.
Luckily, Har now has all the experience of the Hyrule hero Link, so he can handle this technique more fluently.
Still it takes a lot of concentration to use the technique at just the right time, if Har hadn't been lucky just now… his body would have turned to ashes.
He doesn't know if Mipha's power can save him even in that state, so he preferred not to risk losing his life.
"...???"
In the distance, all the hunters who opened their eyes were in disbelief, seeing the large statue on the ground, with smoke escaping from its head and not moving a muscle, they all thought that it had been defeated.
Just hitting that statue without getting killed would already be quite an achievement, so they couldn't help but wonder, who did this? How strong do you have to be to knock such a huge statue to the ground?
"Wha-what happened just now?"
"How did the statue fall? Did it slip?"
The hunters wondered among themselves, but no one saw what happened.
"That- that elf…"
At that moment, the leader's voice was heard by the hunters around them, they subconsciously looked in the elf's direction, what about him?
But they didn't see anything strange, he wasn't hurt and he was still standing there.
"That elf... returned the statue's attack, with a shield..."
"That?!!!"
The hunters couldn't believe it, they had already seen the gleam in the statue's eyes, so they interpret that the leader is referring to that attack, they know the unimaginable great power it has, so they can't conceive of returning that attack. attack, moreover,with a shield!,who the hell can pull off a feat like that?
The hunters looked at the elf, admiration and fanaticism flashing on his faces.
'That elf must be eliminated.'
The angel statue squeezed the stone tablet with some force, she doesn't know who that elf is or what she's doing here, besides, that way of returning that attack is too fanciful, something she never thought she would see when she came to this world.
But the administrator doesn't really care about the elf, but because Sung Jinwoo is already one step away from death, the healer was supposed to stop the bleeding, plus there are now three healers in the temple, so there should be no problem. none originally, but it's all because of that elf, it's because of him that the second test hasn't ended.
The administrator was very upset, he has to finish the second test as soon as possible, only then will the healers be sure to survive getting out of the safe area under the statue, only then will they save Sung Jinwoo from death.
He may keep trying to assassinate the elf, but he doesn't know the hidden means he may have...
Tch, if he hadn't rushed against the rules to kill the elf, this would have been over by now.
Since he did it once, then he can make another exception in the rules, everyone else is already in his place, so the test will be over now...
With a lot of dust and rocks falling down, the giant statue stood up again, a large hole had appeared between its eyes and its expression had become serious again, the hunters panicked upon seeing this, but were confused by their following words. Actions.
Waaaaam~*
With the sound of colliding rocks, the statue raised its hand in the direction of the altar, as a result, strange symbols flashed and the altar rose from the ground.
"Hey?"
"What's happening?"
The hunters were stunned, the statues had stopped playing and the melodies stopped, then the great statue walked back to the throne and sat down again.
"Is it over yet?"
While everyone was confused, suddenly a scream was heard between the crying of a woman.
"Jinwoo!!!"
Lee JuHee didn't wait for a second, she immediately ran towards Sung Jinwoo with teary eyes.
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances wondering if they could get out, but the giant statue didn't move, so they were immediately happy.
"It's over, it's really over!!"
"We survived!!"
But while they smiled, some cried with joy because they could return to their families, others were on the verge of death and could not rejoice.
"Please hold on, Jinwoo!!"
Lee JuHee had started to use his healing powers on Sung Jinwoo, who was lying like a corpse on a large pool of blood, he had a blank stare at nothing and didn't react.
Seeing this, the leader called the other healers and they rushed towards Sung Jinwoo, he is still breathing and there is a chance to save him.
The hunters quickly gathered in this place, although he may be weak, Jinwoo is known to many.
The Weakest Hunter, that is the honorific that Sung Jinwoo has earned due to his incredible feat of getting hurt even in E-rank dungeons, but now you know, this boy is very brave and faces situations that even they they wouldn't dare.
But, shortly after they arrived, something happened to the statues.
Bam!* Bam!* Bam!*
"Everything, watch out!!"
Suddenly, all the statues in the temple started to move, the hunters panicked, if all these things attack, they will definitely all die.
"Huh, aren't they coming this way?"
When they all got together, they suddenly noticed that the statues were passing them and heading to a specific place.
"They're going towards the elf!!"
Everyone was surprised to notice this, but then they remembered that the statues seem to be conspiring to kill the elf, they don't know if he can survive this time.
'I can't show myself yet, but this should be enough to get rid of you.'
With this thought from the administrator, all the statues, whether they have weapons or instruments, began to run in the direction of Har, forming a circle around him, only the statue behind the hunters did not move, as if afraid of killing someone by accident.
'That bastard...'
In the midst of the chaos, Har bristled for a moment, but then seemed to lose hope.
'Even with Mipha's prayer or the power of the fairies, I guess I'll die this time.'
Har knows, it doesn't matter if he can revive, these guys will kill him again and again without rest, then the power of Mipha and the fairies will be exhausted, at that time, he will really die.
'If that's the case, I can only do my last bit.'
He knows that these statues are not living beings, obviously, they are controlled by the administrator, no matter if he destroys their heads, their bodies can keep moving like puppets, in the face of this kind of opponent, Har really doesn't know what to do.
Facing them head on is nothing but suicide, you are already surrounded so there is only one way, run away.
Har thought with a forced smile and sweat dripping from his face.
Then, before the statues arrived, Har dropped two types of bombs on the ground, jumped up, and held a wooden shield under his feet.
In the air, the bombs exploded sending him flying several meters, so he took out the paraglider and descended in the direction of the great statue.
This would be very difficult to do in the game, but this is the real world, so the push from the bombs would lift him up even if he sits on it.
This scene was seen by the hunters, seeing how the elf slowly descended, they were all surprised for a second, but the statues soon followed him, so they shook their heads, it seems that even if it is that elf, this time there is no escape.
Har also noticed this, so he held his paraglider's body with his right hand, took out a bomb from the Sheikah Slate with his left hand, and dropped it at his feet.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, the statues tried to reach him, but he detonated the bomb by flying into the air once more.
"Oh no, look ahead!!"
As the hunters cheered up a bit, they suddenly noticed that the eyes of the great statue began to glow.
They don't know why the elf is heading towards the statue, in his opinion it is suicide, but he seems to have a plan.
Har saw this and was not afraid, as for what his plan is, just run away, if he takes shelter in the giant statue he will be safe from the small ones.
As for fleeing through the doors of the temple, it would be the most logical thing to try now that the statues left their positions, but Har is not stupid, he knows that the doors are also controlled by the power of the administrator, this is quite obvious in the third test ,so running there alone would be a dead end.
'I hope it works.'
Seeing the bright eyes of the large statue, Har seemed to want to face it and took out the Sheikah tablet.
He had already thought about it before, these are statues that work like puppets, but they are still a stone construction with a human shape.
It shouldn't be possible to use the idea of him in the game, but this isn't a game, if the statues are objects then he has a way to deal with them.
Activating a rune from the Sheikah tablet, Har's eyes sparkled as if he saw a new world.
He put away the glider, which was stored in his inventory automatically, and pointed his right hand towards the giant statue.
"...?"
Everyone who saw this was stunned, isn't he jumping to his death? But suddenly…
Dink!!*
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, with a sound of metal colliding, a bunch of large golden chains appeared out of nowhere, they held the giant body of the statue as if it were imprisoned, furthermore, the gleam in the statue's eyes stopped. suddenly.
"What kind of power is this?"
The hunters were dumbstruck, even something as gigantic as that statue could be imprisoned under that power, doesn't that mean that even they can be held by those chains?
However, the most surprised of all could not be appreciated by them, under the hood, the administrator was stunned, the others do not know, but he tried to move the statue, but he could not, those chains even prevented him from shooting lightning of energy, faced with this kind of force, the administrator had a vague idea of what it could be, but how is it possible for an elf to control that kind of power?
The power to stop time, that is the function of the Stasis rune, time chains bind objects for only a few seconds, despite that, this power is too incredible outside of the video game.
When Har activated the rune, all the objects around him were marked with gold indicating that he could stop his time, every little stone, everything that has no life within the range of Stasis can be under his power, this is crazy.
'Who is this elf? Where did he get this power? Why is he here?'
The administrator had many questions, unconsciously, he thought that it was some subject of another monarch who found out about his plans, so he came to stop the rise of the new shadow monarch.
But, is there really someone like that among the troops of a monarch? Even though the power to stop time is incredible, this guy is extremely weak, he can kill him with a breath, although maybe that's what he was looking for, pass unnoticed as much as possible.
But if he wanted to stop this test of the monarch, it would be enough to kill that boy before he got here, the administrator doesn't understand, but since this guy is here today, then it's best to kill him, no matter who he is, there can be no cracks in His plans.
Dnk!!!*
A loud metallic sound was heard, then the chains that tied the great statue broke into a thousand pieces and disappeared, despite this, the shine in the statue's eyes did not appear again.
Har was running in front of the statues, he was ready to use the bomb trick again, but now.
swossh*
"Ugh?"
With a feeling of being pierced all of a sudden, Har watched as a spear pierced his chest and continued on its way, then he fell to the ground and his vision blurred.
"I will always protect you..."
With Mipha's sweet words, his spirit appeared next to Har and a majestic power invaded his body.
The hole in his chest was restored and his hearts filled up again, even some extra golden hearts appeared.
"Wha- what was that?"
"A ghost?"
Due to the large number of statues, the hunters only saw Mipha's ephemeral spirit, it only appeared to heal Har and disappeared in a second, but, there is someone who witnessed what happened.
'What kind of media is this?'
The administrator was incredulous, he ordered a statue to throw his weapon to end this at once, he did not expect that that elf still had incredible support.
He has lived for hundreds of years, maybe thousands, but he has never witnessed this kind of miraculous scene.
'Is this the mythical path of the fairies of the elves?'
The administrator thought this, but he had many doubts, the path of the fairies is a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of elves, it is said that at the beginning of everything, the elves of the forest, as guardians of nature, they received the blessing of the forest goddess, allowing them to use the power of fairies, but he really doesn't know what power that is, something like the forest goddess shouldn't exist either, so all along he thought it was an illusion that they had the ancestors of the elves.
But, this scene made him wonder, since the elves protected nature, maybe a goddess gave them protection from it? It's really hard to say, but this scene fits that theory.
This only makes that elf even more dangerous, so he must be killed at all costs.
Har was stunned, his hearts dropped in an instant, just now he was just walking through the gates of death, it was only because of Mipha's power that he now he came back to life.
Mipha's prayer, her last wish was to be able to continue protecting Link even after death, she gave her power to Link along with part of her soul, that way she will always be by her beloved's side, protecting him until the end, that's right There is no doubt that Mipha's love for Link was real.
'Bastard, you don't know how to play fair...'
On the ground, it was enough for Har to turn his head a little to see that he was already surrounded, dozens and dozens of statues will prevent him from escaping if he tries.
But, he can't do anything but fight to the end, Har stood up, but as soon as he did, all the statues rushed at him, piled one on top of another, his body was crushing against the ground and their hearts began to dissapear.
But he didn't end there, the statues swung their weapons and stabbed at Har again and again.
The hunters in the distance turned their heads in regret, they didn't understand why the statues seemed so intent on killing the elf, but they couldn't do anything, their strength from him is not enough.
On the ground, Sung Jinwoo became conscious again, the healers kept using his power on him, he was confused and disoriented, he didn't know what was happening, but the hunters' expressions told him that someone must be dying.
"Ugh!"
Beneath the statues, Har let out a roar of pain, at this moment, when he was supposed to die, a little fairy came out of nowhere, a beautiful glow prevented her true appearance from being seen and only her wings could be seen, the fairy turned around Har and disappeared.
Now all his injuries had been healed, his body returned to a perfect state, but this would only make him experience that agony again.
'Is that power again?'
The administrator could see from the statues that that elf was at the gates of death, however, something like an insect radiating light came out of nowhere.
He thought it was a dragonfly for a second, but seeing the unprecedented power that little thing used, plus the body that came back to life despite being declared dead a second ago, the administrator thought of the path of dragonfly again. fairies, this time it quite fits his assumption, I should say 99%, but it's too incredible despite having it in his eyes.
Is there a power that will revive you forever after you die? Isn't that immortality? That should be impossible, not even monarchs, with their unfathomable powers, can escape death, so can this little elf be any better? than a monarch?, impossible.
It is a power that must have its restrictions, there is nothing like a power without limits, so it is only a matter of killing it without stopping.
