Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 2: Oath

"Brother, get up, you're going to be late!"

"What! Wow!" Hearing the sensitive word 'late', Ayton opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly stepped back in shock when a petite loli face was about to touch his face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ariel looked at Ayton's excessive reaction in confusion.

"Ah, nothing"

Ayton touched his nose. Just now he thought he was going to be late for class, but now he almost thought he was living in a dream.

"Brother, hurry up and gather at the playground. I heard that if you are late on the first day, you will be beaten badly."

"Oh well"

In Ayton's original understanding, there is no concept of kindness in dark elves. Those adults have a bad face all day long. However, today he is going to face the top leaders of the dark elves, and he wants to see the dark elves with his own eyes. What are those adults like?

In the early morning, the blood moon gave off a faint red light, illuminating every corner of the Underdark. The dark side of the city is also gradually emerging.

After washing, the two people rushed to the Sacrifice Square, only to find that many slaves were being escorted here, surrounded by many dark elf children of the same age as Aton, and on the left and right were many dark elf magicians wearing black robes. He was holding a staff with a cold expression.

The surrounding dark elf guards held long swords in their hands and had a sickly bloodthirsty look in their eyes. Among the slaves, there are humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, men, women, old and young, but they are not tied up. Among them, the most are humans, and the least are elves and winged tribes. Most of them have despair in their expressions, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all slaves. His clothes were in rags, his body was emaciated, and his exposed skin was covered in scars.

The stone slabs on the ground of the square are carved into strange patterns. They are called Mandala flowers, a strange flower that grows in dark caves and is said to be highly poisonous. The roots of the pattern converge into a large pool in the center of the square.

Although there were many people in the square, the sound was unusually quiet, so quiet that it sent chills down the back.

Ayton suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart. At this time, a wrinkled mage among the dark mage slowly walked out and said in a high tone:

"My name is Famas, welcome to the Sacrifice Square, here! You will witness...the greatest miracle of our dark elf family here."

His expression was full of fanaticism, his scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light, and his staff pointed at the blood moon on the top of the cave:

"The blood moon! It illuminates the entire dark area and plays a vital role in our clan's future counterattack on the surface world. We must make it never fall, and dedicating your strength to the blood moon will help you become an excellent dark elf. A beginning for the warriors, and also your first carnival feast since you started training!

"You must cherish this opportunity. I hope you can remember this great and joyful moment."

Farmas paused and continued: "Now, kill all those slaves! Let their blood blend into the blood moon, let the blood moon shine more dazzlingly, and the great revival of the dark elves will begin with you!"

After saying that, he waved his staff and aimed directly at a male forest elf slave. A black dark magic wrapped around his body like a poisonous snake, and then he was slowly lifted up into the sky. He struggled hard, and his bones crackled. , shouted loudly:

"Fallen dark elves, the goddess of life will not let you go, ahhhhhh!"

"Humph, humble forest elf"

Famas's scepter suddenly flashed with black light, and a black light followed the magic power into his body, and then a look of extreme pain appeared on his face. With a bang, the forest elf's body was exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood, which was sprinkled on the crowd on the ground.

At this time, a large number of dark elf guards threw some weapons in front of the children and left.

The children looked at each other. Although some of them may have killed people before, this was the first time they had seen such a large-scale massacre scene. But soon, they ran to the weapons to choose suitable weapons, with excitement and excitement in their eyes. Like kids their age seeing fun toys.

What! Kill all these unarmed people? Shall we go?

Ayton looked at this scene and felt cold in his heart. If he were to kill some people who wanted to harm him, he would not be lenient, but if he was asked to kill these defenseless slaves, he would not do it. After a while, the crowd next to them all went to get their weapons, and he and Ariel were the only ones left in the large open space around them.

Ayton hesitated for a moment, then took Ariel to the weapon and picked out a small long sword. Although he was deeply reluctant, if he and Ariel didn't go together, they would definitely be killed as aliens. In order to survive, he had to do this.

Ariel just picked up another small long sword. Ayton immediately grabbed her sword-holding hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously:

"Follow me and don't kill people like them."

"Ah? Why?"

"...Just do as I say first."

"okay"

Although Ariel was confused as to why her brother didn't want to kill someone himself, and she had clearly decided not to be weak anymore, she still didn't continue to ask, picked up her sword and followed Ayton.

At this time, dark elves had already arrived in front of the slave crowd.

The middle-aged human woman looked horrified, but did not step back. She seemed unwilling to believe that this dark elf child, who looked to be the same size as her son, would kill someone.

"Aah~"

Suddenly, the woman's miserable scream, the fallen short arm, and the splash of blood ruthlessly told these poor slaves that they, a group of eight or nine-year-old dark elf children, were really capable of killing them.

The blood aroused the desire of other dark elf children, and they rushed towards the crowd of slaves. Screams, screams, and cries ebbed and flowed for a while, and the ground was covered with severed limbs and blood.

The slaves also realized that the children in front of them were not ordinary children, but children of dark elves, so the slaves also began to resist. They were unwilling to be killed by people less than ten years old. Although the slaves They are skinny, covered with scars, and have no weapons, but the skinny camels are bigger than horses, their height and weight are there, and their number is twice that of the dark elves.

And the dark elf guards nearby were just watching with cold eyes and had no intention of stepping forward to help. After the slaves realized this, they worked together to kill several dark elves, seized their weapons, and then launched a counterattack.

Ayton slowly walked behind, but because there were too many slaves, there were always a few people who were missed in the front running up to him. An old man in front saw Ayton and Ariel and waved his fist red. Ye Yan shouted, "I'll fight with you" and rushed forward.

Ayton protected Ariel behind him, his face was calm, and he stabbed the old man in front of him in the heart with his sword.

The old man fell to the ground, his face expressionless, and he slowly drew the sword. Blood spurted out from the artery of the wound and stained the corners of his clothes. Ariel followed silently behind him, not making a move along the way.

Ayton doesn't want blood to stain her white hands again, so he should stain it for her. Every time he kills someone on the road, his heart will become colder. Looking at the blood-covered compatriots in front of him, that ferocious smile is twisted. The look on his face and the desire for killing in his eyes.

The more Ayton looked, the more frightened he became. Are we going to live with these lunatics from now on? Will I become like that? Will Ariel become like that? It’s unimaginable. Ayton was in a daze for a while.

Suddenly he felt someone push him forward from behind.

"Ding!" The sound of metal colliding rang in my ears.

Ariel stood where Ayton was just now, clenching her teeth and struggling to hold up her rapier to block the slash of a human male-slave.

"Damn!"

Ayton cut off the slave's right hand holding the sword with an angry blow, and blood spurted onto Ariel's clean clothes. Ariel, the cleanest person present, was also dyed red.

"Ariel, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, brother"

But Ayton still noticed that Ariel retracted her hands slightly, and her tiny fingers trembled slightly.

A full blow from an adult human male, how could Ariel be okay with her petite body? Ayton couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed. If he hadn't been distracted, Ariel shouldn't have taken the blow just now.

Living in the Dark Territory, how can one's hands not be stained with blood... Only strength can protect oneself and others.

"Ariel, stay with me and protect yourself."

After thinking about this, Ayton turned around, with a bloodthirsty red light flashing in his angry eyes, and began to kill every slave in front of him with all his strength. Ariel still followed him, silently Guard him.

Slaughter, screams, roars... are endless

I don’t know how long it took, but Ayton felt that the air had turned into thick blood. His whole body was sticky, as if he had just taken a blood bath. His arms were numb. Ariel behind him was in a similar condition. Okay. There were dark elves standing around.

The slaves all fell in a pool of blood, their eyes filled with unwillingness, anger, and hatred. About ten dark elves also fell to the ground. The blood on the ground flowed along the pattern to the blood pool in the center.

Seeing this scene, Famas smiled with satisfaction, raised his staff, and shouted:

"Congratulations! You passed the first training. Did you have fun with this killing feast? As long as you can accept the training obediently and dedicate your strength to our clan, there will be more slaves on the ground for you to kill. Now let you It’s time to witness the miracle.”

After that, the other dark elves and black-robed magicians chanted spells and pointed their staffs at the center of the blood pool. Suddenly, a blood-red magical array appeared above it. The blood on the ground was attracted by the magic array and flowed quickly to the blood along the lines. The blood then rose up and turned into a huge blood ball. The blood ball turned into a ball of bloody red light, and was finally injected into the blood moon in the sky. The light of the blood moon suddenly became more shining, which looked a bit dazzling.

After an unknown amount of time, the ceremony was completed. The dark elf children all looked at the blood moon with excitement, as if they were proud of being a dark elf. Ayton stood in the middle of the crowd with a calm face. Ariel looked at Ayton in confusion and said nothing.

"Now you all go back and rest. Gather at the training ground at the same time tomorrow. The instructors will teach you sword skills and magic. Don't be late, unless you want to become disabled." Famas finished happily. , turned around and left.

After hearing this, Ayton immediately pulled Ariel and walked quickly to his home. He had a gloomy face and said nothing along the way.

Go back to the cave and seal the entrance.

"Ariel, do you like it here?" Ayton put his hands on Ariel's shoulders and asked in a deep voice.

"I like it," Ariel replied briskly.

"Why?" Ayton suddenly felt a pain in his heart

"Because my brother is here"

"What if I'm not here anymore"

"Why isn't brother here? Doesn't brother want Ariel?" Ariel was stunned, her body suddenly trembled violently, and her eyes were slightly red.

"No, no, it's just that I don't like it here and I want to leave here," Ayton quickly explained.

"Then I will go wherever my brother goes." Ariel hesitated for a moment, but said firmly.

"Even if you leave the Underdark, will you still follow me?"

"Even if I follow you to the depths of the Trial Land, I will follow you, let alone just leave the Dark Area." Ariel disagreed. At this time, they still didn't know the real situation of the dark elves on the ground.

However, the firm look in the eyes and the determination not to be afraid of death. It was like a warm spring, which warmed Ayton's cold heart just now.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ayton hugged Ariel and said warmly: "Thank you, Ariel, I will protect you and take you out of here safely, I promise."

In this dim cave, the dark elf boy hugged the girl and made his first vow after his rebirth.
