Lord of The Karmic Armada-Chapter 29: Before confrontation

Through the deep darkness of the Elven tribes area, an unrecognizable silhouette was running at an inhumane speed. Wherever he goes the darkness makes a path for him wherever he goes it embraces him, as if the darkness itself adored this being.

His movement technique which he was using to run from one place to another was terrifying to say the least, compared to other third-stage awakened Dark elves his movement skill was at least 5 times more effective and deadly.

It was this very movement skill that took the lives of 5 dangerous Fae folks till now.

To compliment his movement skill this powerful being was also overflowing with elegance and silence.

Each fiber of his muscles was brimming with unmatched power and not a single gesture of his was without precision, one could only imagine how deadly of a killer one needed to be to accomplish it, because this being of the forest who is not a Fae himself, yet claimed the life of not one but five.

This being's dreadful battle prowess is also the reason why many Fae folks actively conspired against the Elven tribe to such a degree.

The Fae folks also disdained this being greatly.

Of course, the fact that this being had once taken the lives of 5 Fae folks was a secret that no one else knew but him.

The Fae folks were extremely arrogant and cunning beings. Even though this being did not know to this very day, why the Fae queen allowed him to live, despite killing 5 of her kin and only putting a simple restriction upon him that would not allow him to share the facts that he had once killed 5 Fae folks in a distant past.

While he was searching for something on every corner of the Elven tribe's allocated area, this thought came onto him and he felt slightly unsettled. The fact that the Fae queen allowed him to live despite his crimes, even though she should not, made him even more apprehensive.

What was she scheming, what was she after?

While one might think that all the facts point to the simple conclusion of 'Entertainment'.

Even Fae themselves admitted this fact on multiple occasions.

But he did not believe it to be just so simple.

Especially not the Fae queen.

This person suddenly stopped at one place for a moment and remained unmoved for a while as if he was thinking something.

This being had no expression on his face and he was utterly indifferent.

If he stayed still for a prolonged period of time, it would not be wrong to think of him as a beautiful and well-carved statue.

This being was naturally The Elven tribe Leader 'Hansel'.

Elven Tribe leader Hansel was searching the entire area of their tribe searching for Valtar. Unfortunately for him somehow the human seemed to be able to avoid him, he did not know how exactly though.

One of the conjectures he made was that the Human could have a very good survival instinct skill which made the Human aware of the danger sense if they got close enough.

While it did seem like The elven tribe leader was emotionlessly searching for his Enemy.

For not once did he think about his daughter who was killed by the human.

But things are not always what they seem to be on the surface level.

Indeed, Hansel always had an extremely cold and emotionless demeanor.

This was only the case because he was a dark elf, as creatures of darkness their behaviors embody that element to a certain extent as well. Let alone the leader of the Elven tribe himself who had the greatest affinity with this element.

As such his emotions had always been extremely suppressed.

He does not realize the great amount of emotions and pain he is holding within him, he is like an erupting volcano about to erupt with all its magnificence and fury. Only a slight push is necessary.

At one point Hansel found the trace of the Human by a stroke of luck, he wasted not a fraction of a second more as he completely blended into the Darkness.

Unlike before when he chased the Human like a rat being chased by a cat.

He took a much more gentler approach and went closer to where the human resided while keeping himself completely hidden within the darkness but to not give himself away the Elven leader had to move quite slowly.

The reason he did not use this method to approach him before was that the Human was already running away from him, he did not know about the Human's ability to evade him or outrun him.

Now knowing better he naturally had to improvise, and it seems to be working as well.

The human should have started running long before if he openly approached him. But with 'Hansel' keeping himself hidden, The human does not sense his approaching doom. As such he would naturally pay the price of it as well.

————————————

Valtar after contemplating a lot finally chose what he would do, his next step of action was very clear but he had to do it.

As he was thinking that suddenly he felt a vague sense of threat. But it was so small that he could practically ignore it. But as he waited a few more moments his expression became more and more serious.

The reason for that was, while his sense of danger was very vague at first, just after a few seconds the warning from the survival instinct skill went up explosively out of nowhere.

This meant the Elven tribe leader was able to mask himself somehow from his skills and it was because now that he had come very close to Valtar probably 30 meters of distance, this amount of distance was practically nothing for the beings on their power level.

He realized he had no way to evade him and the only choice left now is to confront and survive.

Well, he was going to do that anyway.

He stood up, his skills and everything were all ready, he gripped the hilt of his sword tight as he readied his posture to face the greatest enemy he had faced till now. There is an 80% chance he could easily die in this confrontation as his entire being was screaming at him to run away.

Valtar pointed his sword at the mass of darkness that was approaching him, he could not see the mass of darkness with his eyes even though his eyes were very much open, rather the vision of his eyes was replaced by the sensory vision which was the culmination of the smell and noise of intakes from his nose and ears accordingly.

As the mass of darkness got as close as 15 meters in front of him, it stopped and the shroud of darkness that covered and hid the presence of the being beneath it was revealed slowly but surely.

Valtar had to take a deep breath and forcefully calm his senses and heart, he resolved his mind and heart with absolute determination. He thought back to the things he experienced right after transmigration and getting trapped in this hell hole.

Even being burned alive did not stop him.

Even when he fell in love with the girl who was his enemy moments before did not stop him from embracing that very girl with genuine love, even if it was only for once.

Even his genuine love for that girl did not stop him from killing her with his own hands.

Was he ready for any of it?

No, he was not.

Did Valtar not feel pain?
