Royal Roader on My Own

“That sounds good! Hurry up and call them . ”

Oh? That sounds great for me too . I can use them as stepping stones for my combo .

The Dark Elf continued to attack me .

While he was attacking me, the other one took a black horn flute out of his pocket and blew into it .

Beeeeeeeeeep-

It was only the size of an average palm, but the noise was very loud and deep . It was the type of noise that would reach a far distance .

A moment later, I heard some rumbling in the distance . It wasn’t a few loud rumbles, but a group of light rumbles .

That gave me a good idea about what monsters were coming toward me .

‘Perfect!’

The monsters soon arrived .

As expected, there were no large monsters . Instead, there were a large group of Cave Trolls and Death Dogs-like monsters that were all less than level 200 .

There were even really weak monsters, like Cave Goblins . My reinforced toughness made it so that I didn’t even recieve any damage from their attacks .

“Try to run away now, kekeke . ”

The Dark Elf started to laugh as if he had guaranteed his victory . Why were they so terrible even though they had the word, ‘elf,’ in their species’ name?

His laugh was even worse . It was so terrible that I wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible .

‘Then shall I teach him the reality of the situation?’

I started to create a combo with the monsters nearby .

[Combo (Under 40%): Advanced Level 2, 96%]
[Drake’s TBSA: Advanced Level 2, 6%]

Both combo and Drake’s TBSA were at Advanced Level 2 .

Now I could land critical hits even with my eyes closed and reach a 30-hit combo in about 7 seconds .

Papapat-

My combo went up to 30-hits in the blink of an eye .

The Dark Elf finally seemed to have finally realized something was odd . I could clearly see his white pupils widening on his black face .

“W, what? Why did he suddenly change?”

No need for someone who is about to die to know that .

I continued my combo and quickly approached the Dark Elf . I was on the run this whole time, but things would change now .

The Dark Elf clenched his teeth and blocked my attack with his falchion .

Bang-

He really wasn’t below average . He was able to block my 40-hit combo damage with his falchion .

Of course, the falchion was not able to last . It instantly broke upon impact with my cutla.s.s .

Crack!

My combo ended .

I quickly moved back for my safety while restarting my combo with the surrounding monsters .

The Dark Elf must have felt danger, as he rolled to the left to dodge . He then picked up the longsword he had thrown earlier in order to replace the broken falchion .

The other Dark Elf shouted toward us .

“That is Drake’s TBSA! And his combo instantly reached over 40-hits! Be careful!”

That one really seemed to be more dangerous than this one .

But the situation should not change, since there are so many small monsters around .

Suddenly, an unexpected situation happened .

Beeeeeeep-

The Dark Elf blew the horn flute again .

That made the surrounding monsters start to return .

‘d.a.m.n it!’

I understood the Dark Elf’s plan .

He had accurately determined what was going on . He realized that the surrounding monsters were actually more helpful to me .

But things will not go as he planned .

There were too many monsters in the area, while the path they needed to go through was narrow . It created a bottleneck and slowed the monsters down to give me enough time to get rid of at least one of these Dark Elves, as long as I don’t waste any time .

I swept the surrounding monsters like I was using a broom and pushed forward . My combo went back up to 30-hits in a very short amount of time .

Now it was time for the Dark Elf .

Taaat!

“It is dangerous! Dodge!”

The Dark Elf who blew the flute was shouting .

However, it was for naught . The surrounding monsters disturbed both my movements as well as the Dark Elf’s movements .

I was able to cut through the monsters with my combo, but the Dark Elf was unable to do that .

I lowered my body as low as possible as I rushed forward .

Papapat-

My distance with the Dark Elf instantly decreased .

With the situation being so dangerous, the Dark Elf stopped running and started to swing his longsword . Each of his attacks were very strong, like he was planning to end this with a single hit .

Swiiiiish-

But his attacks were too wide . I could easily see the longsword’s movement and pushed off a monster in order to dodge the Dark Elf’s attack .

Boom-

The longsword hit the ground while my twin blades slashed the Dark Elf’s waist .

The shocked Dark Elf moved his longsword to the side to defend . The fact that he could move like this was surprising .

Clang-

The longsword managed to defend against my attack .

However, it wasn’t completely successful, since my combo was already at 60 .

In addition, my cutla.s.ses were different from regular weapons . They are the greatest weapons created by a Best Blacksmith Dwarf who was on the verge of becoming one with the sword . It also had magic embued by the Shapir, the strongest magic tribe in the world .

Goonto’s Twin Blades easily cut through the longsword and then the Dark Elf’s waist .

Crackle-

I also got lucky . The 30% chance of lightning damage happened to strike at that moment as well .

“Aaak!”

The Dark Elf felt the electric shock and his legs and arms opened up in shock, revealing his stomach and heart .

Although my combo was over, I could not miss this great opportunity . I used one of the skills in Goonto’s Twin Blades to stab the Dark Elf’s heart .

[Ignore Enemy Defense!]

Stab-

Goonto’s Twin Blade stabbed deep into the Dark Elf’s chest and heart . The Dark Elf immediately stopped moving and fell to the side in disbelief in his eyes .

Plop!

Now only one Dark Elf was left .

I lifted my head up to look at him .

His eyes were the size of lamps . He could not help but look back and forth between the fallen Dark Elf and me .

I didn’t need to drag this out . This was a Demon Cave, a place where he had the advantage . He would do his best to create favorable settings for him if I gave him the time .

Taat!

I flung my body toward him again .

There were still a lot of monsters nearby, but there were not many between me and the Dark Elf . I probably would not be able to use any combos while fighting him .

However, I did have a few other cards in my hand as well .

[Spirit Energy 124]

My Spirit Energy was at max thanks to hunting all of those monsters .

‘Put it all into agility!’

I also used another card as well .

[Dark Force]

Dark Force did not need to directly attack . Once I use the skill, a dark aura shot out, allowing me to attack even something in the distance .

Even the Shadow Fox used Dark Force against me from at least 10 meters away .

However, my Dark Force was not as strong . Even the strength of the attack was only about half of the Shadow Fox’s attack .

I was about 5 meters away from the Dark Elf when I used Dark Force .

Boom!

I could feel the invisible force shooting out and the Dark Elf dropping his falchion .

“Ugh!”

The Shadow Fox had failed when it used Dark Force against me . That was because its extremely wary nature gave me enough time to recover .

The Shadow Fox had failed when it used Dark Force against me . That was because its extremely wary nature gave me enough time to recover .

Thanks to that, I was able to overcome the stun and find an opportunity for a counterattack .

I would not repeat the Shadow Fox’s mistake .

I shot forward without any delay and rushed toward the Dark Elf like I was an arrow with the cutla.s.s as the point .

Taat!

‘Huh? Already?’

The Dark Elf quickly rolled to the side . He managed to get out of the stun in less than 1 second .

But if you think about it, Dark Elves are Elves as well, so they probably have high endurance stats . It is only normal for them to recover quickly .

He also moved fast enough to dodge my attack, even after I had used spirit energy to increase my agility .

I was at a loss since those were my two strongest cards .

Since I had failed after using those two methods, it would be difficult to win 1 on 1 without them .

‘What to do? Ah!’

I suddenly came up with a good idea . I would use the Dark Elf’s methods against him .

‘Stone Elf!’

The Dark Elf needed to roll to the side in order to dodge my attack, so he will need some time to get back up .

On the other hand, I quickly moved toward the Stone Elf .

My speed did not decrease at all . In fact, I started to move forward even faster, like this had been my plan all along . So it was only normal that the distance between the Dark Elf and me quickly increased .

That helped me buy some extra time .

I took the Light Orb out of my bag .

At the same time, I could hear the Dark Elf’s scared voice .

“Natural Power!”

He also seemed to know how this thing worked .

I guess it made sense that he knew how to wake the Stone Elves up since he was their guard .

But it was too late . I was already in front of a Stone Elf and quickly touched the Natural Power to the Stone Elf’s chest .

At the same time, two strands of light shot out from the Stone Elf’s face . The Stone Elf had opened its eyes .

There were about 30 Stone Elves the Dark Elf was guarding .

The fact that I took out the Natural Power did not wake all of the Stone Elves up . I needed to go up to each Stone Elf individually and transfer some energy .

The thankful thing was that it took less than 1 second to wake them up once I did that .

“You punk! Stop!”

The Dark Elf shouted as he rushed toward me .

However, he could not reach me instantly . I moved to wake up two more Stone Elves and the three of them got in his way .

However .

Boom-

‘Why is he so strong?’

‘Why is he so strong?’

The Dark Elf cut off one of the Stone Elf’s arms with a swing of his falchion . It was a very scary level of strength .

If they have that much difference in strength, I would not be able to take him on with only a few Stone Elves .

But things will change once I join the fray as well . The Stone Elves were there to hold him still while I did the actual attacks . The chances of success increased even further if I added another option to that as well .

I quickly used Natural Power to wake up all 30 Stone Elves .

Boom- Boom-

The Stone Elves were very heavy because they were made of stone . The ground shook every time they moved .

The Dark Elf started to frown . He stopped attacking with his falchion and slowly started to move backward .

Trying to run?

I could not allow him to run . One or two of them were fine, but I would be in danger if a group of them attacked together .

Taking them down one by one was the best course of action .

But I didn’t know whether it would go as I planned .

“Block his escape route . ”

I ordered the Stone Elves while controlling their movements with my mind .

The Stone Elves accurately understood my thoughts and started to move . Twenty of them moved to block his path while the other ten moved with me to launch a joint attack .

The Dark Elf started to frown again . He had, at some point, changed his weapon to a longsword, but the fact that he was biting down on his lips showed that he had made up his mind .

It looked like he was ready to put his life on the line to fight .

However, I’m sure that things will change once he sees this .

I sure hope it works here as well .

I took a scroll out of my bag and quickly ripped it .

[Demon Cave Scroll]

Level: 246
Grade: B
Size: Small

At the same time, a black hole appeared .

‘Success . ’

A second Demon Cave entrance had appeared inside the Demon Cave .

At the same time, puny monsters like the Dark Trolls started to pour out . They were perfect to serve as stepping stones for my combo .

The Dark Elf’s eyes opened wide once again . The monsters pouring out were on his side, but he could still tell that the situation was not favorable to him .

However, this was not the end . There was one more thing added to the situation .

I put some strength into my stomach as I used my mana to shout toward the Dark Elf .

[Dragon Fear]

Rooooooar-
