YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 489: Final Clearing (pt. I)

FWOOSH FWOOSH FWOOSH

Bolts and arrows were fired, darting throughout the dark caverns and shining light across the eerie tunnels. Shrieks and bellows followed soon after, the arrows lodging upon the horde of monsters and exploding soon after.

Her golden hair fluttered as she shot the arrows, a beautiful elf peering through the clouds of smoke and dust before her. Her eyes remained sharp and unwavering, a heavy volley of arrows peppering the monsters as she let go of the bowstring.

KHIIIEEEEKKK KHIIIEEEEEK GUAAAAKKKKK

A number of goblins and satyrs rushed forth, undaunted by the hollering storm before them. The blood of their kin was already spilled yet they remained charging, their loud cries ringing throughout the corridors as they raised their tattered weapons.

First there were a couple dozen, then there was only half left, and soon after, only a couple individuals remained. The elf continued to fire arrows one after another, boring through their heads and leaving them for dead.

Some enemies tried to throw their weapons at her, but they couldn't even reach her. The distance between the two parties was too far, only the elf's arrows successfully bridging the gap and eliminating the repulsive monsters one by one.

KHIEEEKKKKK THUD THUD CRASHHH

Finally, all the monsters were subjugated and peace returned to the dimly lit caverns. The monsters' bodies started glowing soon after, fracturing into several fragments of light and soon scattering in the wind, leaving only a couple drops behind.

It was a fierce battle, or at least, such was the case for the goblins. The beautiful elf didn't even break a single sweat, her eyes still glimmering bright and she let down her bow and arrow. Of course, that elf was none other than Aria.

"Waah～! That's so cool, Miss Aria! You'vr finished them all off!" ［Yuna］

"This is nothing much. It's just kobolds and goblins, after all." ［Aria］

"Still! There were over a hundred of them. And it only took you 13 seconds!" ［Yuna］

"You counted?" ［Kris］

"Un! Grey and I always have these competitions so it's become a habit. Don't you also do these sorts of things with Miss Aria, Mister Kris?" ［Yuna］

"Don't compare me to you two weirー O-Ow! Oww!" ［Kris］

Kris couldn't even finish his words, when a sharp pain bit him from his flanks. It was none other than his beautiful wife who is now pinching his sides, a scary expression painted on her, her eyes telling him not to continue his words.

"Dear, that's their way of bonding, so let's stop our words there, okay?" ［Aria］

"Ow! He-Hey! Aria, that hurts! That really hurts!" ［Kris］

"If it hurts, then please learn your lesson. Do you know how many times we already got in trouble because you uselessly run that mouth of yours?" ［Aria］

"Hey, are you still angry about the last quest?" ［Kris］

"Not really. I've forgiven you already." ［Aria］

Or so she says but her eyes say otherwise, pinching even harder on her husband's side as she remembers the idiocy he did during the last quest, destroying a whole grove in order to "clear out all enemies in a single strike".

It was a grove which was one of the main sources of income for the villagers who asked for the quest, and seeing Kris destroy it willy-nilly just like that, the village chief passed out immediately, eyes turned eyes and his soul escaping his body.
