Only I Am Immune to Magic

Episode 129. what are you curious about

“How else did you know they were coming?”

Rhaast looked at the tightly bound intruders and said.

Snow-white skin, bright primary-colored hair, blue eyes, and pointy ears.

The identity of the intruder was none other than a high elf.

“Because the orcs won’t come this far.”

Aaron looked at the necklace of teeth hanging around the intruder’s neck.

If the orcs went deep enough to use the power of the World Tree, the high elves’ movement radius was extremely limited.

This is because if you encounter an orc while gathering or hunting, you are dead.

In that sense, no man’s land was one of the few areas where elves could freely gather resources.

If you’re unlucky, you might run into a human who entered without fear, but fighting a human rather than an orc had a much higher chance of survival.

[-Did anyone escape earlier?]

[-no. I definitely killed them all.]

[-There’s no way we’ll miss the herbalist.]

The captured elves exchanged words among themselves.

They had come for gathering and reconnaissance, and were on their way back after killing all the human herbalists they encountered.

Actually, it didn’t matter if I just ignored it, but there were quite a few times when I left alive and then led the vigilantes, so it was better to just kill it.

[-But where the hell did these guys come from? Even take the dark elves.]

[-There is no way such a large army would move just because the herbalist told me.]

It wasn’t the Kingdom of Delor who caught them.

Seeing the pattern of light drawn on the armor, it was an army from the Kingdom of Zeroth, but I wondered why they had come all the way to the great forest.

[-Keep calm. It can’t kill us anyway.]

said the man leading the group.

I don’t know why Zeroth’s holy army accompanied the dark elves into the great forest, but they couldn’t catch and kill the high elves for no reason.

They know very well how vengeful the Elves of the Great Forest are.

[-Hey guys.]

Aaron, who had been silently listening to the chatter of the captives, sat down in front of him.

[-… … !]

They shut up in amazement when Aaron spoke the words of a fairy.

[-Let’s start with Tongseongmyeong. I am Aaron The owner of Death Landing, which you invaded by surprise.]

[-… … .]

The faces of the group of high elves who were exchanging words without tension turned dark.

You’re the owner of Death Landing.

I felt like I finally understood why he came with the dark elves.

[The target’s mental ability is too high.]

[The target resisted the peer.]

[The subject has resisted the stigma of submission.]

A red message appeared before my eyes.

High elves have significantly higher magic resistance and mental strength than other races.

So even though he was lower than Aaron, his passive skills didn’t seem to work.

[-Can you explain what happened? I want to solve it through conversation as much as possible.]

Aaron said, looking around the captives.

[-I have nothing to say to the trash that joined hands with the renegade.]

However, the response that came back was as cold as ice.

Apparently, they still thought Aaron couldn’t harm them.

[-okay?]

Sureureung!

Aaron twitched his eyebrows and pulled out the cosmos.

[-If it doesn’t work, it should be done.]

Then, after muttering Odd Haken’s family motto, he plunged his sword into the captain’s thigh.

Fu-wook!

[-Ahhh!]

[-Deniel!]

As the stabbed man groaned in pain, the woman sitting next to him widened his eyes.

Seeing that they were wearing half of the original leaf-shaped necklace, it seemed that they were engaged couples.

Aaron retrieved the sword with an expressionless face and stared blankly at the blood on the blade.

[-You have not entered my land without permission, killing my people, destroying my hometown, and plundering the water of life. Don’t expect me to treat you with mercy.]

He reached out to a man called Deniel.

“Raguz.”

[Heals the target.]

[Spirit is reduced by 16%.]

A blue light flowed from his hand and penetrated his thigh.

The skin and muscles pierced by the cosmos healed in an instant, and the blood that had flowed out suddenly stopped.

“… … !”

The elves looked shocked at the sight of him healing wounds with a single word without divine power.

When the healing was over, Aaron grabbed the hilt again.

[-From now on, you will answer my questions unconditionally. Of course, you don’t have to answer.]

Fu-wook!

Just now, Cosmos was once again trapped in Amun Deniel’s wound.

[-Kwaaagh!]

[-If you have the confidence to enjoy this guy suffering.]

* * *

Orcs did not know how to torture them, even if they captured prisoners, they would just kill them if they did not spit out information.

But humans are different.

This brutal tribe would torture captives for fun, knowing they wouldn’t get any information, then mercilessly decapitate them when the fun wore off.

Aaron was by far the best of them all.

He interrogated the intruders only with violence, without resorting to mind control.

Beat them up and heal them, stab them with a knife and heal them, put their heads in water and heal them when they pass out.

This horrific violence was committed only on Deniel, the first target.

He took full advantage of the fact that elves were afraid of their comrades.

[-stop! Oh no!]

how much time has passed

The woman, who had been watching Deniel biting her lip until it bled, cried out in tears.

He couldn’t bear to see his lover suffer, and his mind was broken.

[The target has succumbed to the stigma of submission.]

[The target now obeys the caster’s commands.]

[Caution – Skills are automatically canceled when life-related commands are given.

Blue letters floated above the weeping woman’s head.

Aaron threw Deniel away and sat down in front of her.

[-What’s your name?]

[-Shiffrin. It’s Syrup.]

Shiffrin’s jaw trembled as he looked at the stunned Deniel.

Aaron pointed the Cosmos under Deniel’s chin and continued.

[-good. Shiffrin. I hate lies. If you lie, I will take out your lover’s heart and feed it to you. I’m not lying, so if you’re curious, you can try it.]

[-… … What are you curious about?]

[-Sif, Schiffrin. No.]

Deniel woke up just in time and said with difficulty.

f*ck! puck!

The ghosts guarding him began to swing their fists again.

[-Aagh! What are you curious about!]

Seeing that, Shiffrin screamed in anger.

Tears mixed with anger, fear, and sadness dripped onto the floor soaked with Daniel’s blood.

[-stop.]

Aaron raised his hand to drive the ghosts away and looked back at Syfrin.

[- from beginning to end. Everything blows.]

* * *

a few months ago.

The high elves of the Great Forest felt that the movements of the orcs in the wasteland were unusual.

They were usually divided into hundreds of tribes and constantly engaged in civil war, but at some point they became quiet and gradually began to unite.

The high elves, who judged this to be a harbinger of an invasion, reported this to Navik, the magic district of Delor, and requested help from magic tools.

However, Navik ignored the request nicely, saying that it had nothing to do with them, and the high elves, impatient, raised an army and forcibly occupied Navik.

The kingdom of Delor was very angry at this and sent an army to recapture Navik, but the recapture operation was put on hold because of Death Landing, which was like a huge barrier.

[-Our prediction was correct. The Orcs invaded the Great Forest with an army of over 100,000.]

Shiffrin clenched his fists and continued.

After a while. As expected, the Orc army gathered in the wasteland poured into the great forest like a wave.

They slaughtered all the high elves blocking their way and advanced toward the World Tree without a hitch.

The outpost built on the front collapsed within three days of the invasion, and the final line of defense adjacent to the capital, Elrond, was broken through within a few days.

The impatient high elves risked humiliation and attempted to negotiate, but to no avail.

Those sent for negotiations returned as decapitated corpses, and captured captives were discarded like garbage in the forest with all their vitality robbed.

[-You said your life force was taken away?]

[-okay.]

Syfrin nodded at Aaron’s question.

‘It’s black magic.’

Aaron thought for a moment, then asked again.

[-Is there anything strange about the orcs? For example, the skin is purple.]

[-right. Most of them were purple, and some were completely black. How did you know?]

Shiffrin looked at him with bright eyes.

How could a human from the other side of the Great Forest know what they were like?

[-Because otherwise you wouldn’t be so helpless.]

Utilizing the essence of a living being is a typical characteristic of those who are intoxicated with demonic energy.

An orc that has accepted demonic energy is called a black sorcerer and uses more powerful magic than usual. The stolen essence can be given to other orcs to give them monstrous strength.

Perhaps that is why the high elves were defeated without much effort.

[-… … They pushed into Elrond and threatened the safety of the World Tree.]

Shiffrin continued with a hard face.

The orc army had invaded the high elf capital in just a few weeks.

With the capital in danger of being captured, the high elves were forced to use the power of the World Tree, and only then did the orcs suffer heavy losses and fall back.

[-As a reward for driving out the Orcs, the World Tree lost its power and began to wither. We had to find a way somehow.]

To the high elves whose feet were on fire, the water of life in the Shadow Forest was like sweet rain in a drought.

They put all their forces without even having time to consider how Death Landing was purified, how the Shadow Forest was liberated, and how the water of life grew there.

And the result was this.

The angry master of Death Landing came to the Great Forest with tens of thousands of human armies.

[-We could have helped you enough.]

Raven, who had been quietly listening to the story, looked at Shiffrin and said.

Shiffrin turned his head toward her.

[-dog sound. You are renegades who betrayed your people a thousand years ago. It could be that his disposition has changed now… … .]

[-Shut up, high elf. It was you who abandoned your people. How long are you going to pretend not to know?]

[-… … .]

Shiffrin bit his lip and looked at Aaron.

It reminded me of his threat to never lie.

[-We hate you to the extreme, but if the World Tree were in danger, of course we would have stepped out. After all, the Tree of Life in the Shadow Forest is also a child of the World Tree.]

Raven continued.

It was the high elves they hated, not the World Tree of the Great Grove.

If the high elves had asked for help from the beginning, they would have immediately gathered an army and sent it to the Great Forest.

[-Your stupid choice ended up putting us all in danger.]

[-… … .]

Shiffrin was speechless.

I wanted to refute something, but the only thing that lingered in my head was lies about blaming the Dark Elves.

She knew too.

What a shame this pale kin, so hated by the high elves, had suffered.

[-Fight in the house later.]

Aaron intervened between the two elves who were glaring at each other to death.

It is true that the high elves did something wrong, but now they had to deal with more important matters.

‘Grimgor.’

He remembered the name of an orc while looking at the orc tooth necklace that Shiffrin had.

Warchief Grimgor.

He was a warrior born into a small, lowest-ranking orc tribe, and was the culprit behind this war.

In the game, he unites the orc tribes with mighty arms, excellent sorcery, and unpredictable strategies before slowly advancing towards the Great Forest.

But not this time.

He raised the physical abilities of the orcs to the limit based on black magic, trampled the high elves with only his strength, and threatened the capital, Elrond.

‘Anyway, he’s a guy who can’t be contaminated with demonic energy. Tsk.’

The only time Grimgor becomes a black magician is when the player’s race is a demon or when Angram gains power due to the weakening of the Church of Light’s power.

‘Is it because of Zeroth?’

The church’s power had been weakened for a while due to Belial’s encroachment on the Bible recently, but it seemed that it had an effect on Grimgor.

‘It’s fun.’

Aaron let out a self-deprecating laugh.

butterfly effect.

When I was playing the game, it was so much fun to experience with my own body what seemed like a mediocre element.

[-Shiffrin.]

[-… … Any more questions?]

[-How is the situation in the capital?]

[-The World Tree spreads a curtain to protect the city. Orcs are waiting beyond the veil.]

Shiffrin said with a gloomy face.

The world tree was consuming its vitality even at this moment.

It was safe for now, but if the orcs beyond the veil were not driven out, the world tree and the city would eventually be lost.

[-hmm.]

Aaron stroked his chin for a moment before releasing the other three except for Deniel and Shiffrin.

[-… … What trick is it?]

[-You three go to the Black Citadel and tell the occupants to come back immediately. Leave the water of life in place, of course.]

[-They are an army that has been ordered by Her Majesty the Queen. Just because we say… … .]

[-The Queen said so.]

[-Are you telling us to report falsely?]

[-Why is that a false report? It’s true.]

[-… … ?]

The high elves who were freed made a puzzled expression.

Aaron continued.

[-I’m going to take your queen hostage.]
