?Ond grinned, "What''s the holdup? Bow him down already!" He yelled, frowning his face as he furiously pointed at Sato.


    The elves began firing arrows, aiming carefully at Sato even though they were shaking in fear.


    Sato immediately let go of Elena and whooshed to the front, he began spinning the scythe around  to deflect the fast moving arrows.


    "He just deflected our arrows like they were nothing." One of the elves standing on the tree branch muttered.


    "Fire again!" Ond yelled,


    Sato charged toward him while using his scythe to deflect all the arrows from all directions with ease.


    Sato managed to get close to Ond and was ready to attack when he suddenly saw the grin on Ond''s face.


    "Got yah~" Ond sang, he tapped his fingers, and Sato was soon covered in mes.


    There was a magic circle that Ond had already nted on the floor, so when Sato passed over it, it denoted like a bomb.


    Watching as Sato was burning in the mes put a smile on Ond''s face, the rest were shocked most especially I.


    "Damn you!" I yelled, holding herself as she couldn''t make a decision whether to attack him or not.


    "Burn, burn!" Ondughed, "See this? This is what happens when you defy the dark elves".


    "If any of you defy me, I''ll do the same thing to your families, and then nothing will remain of your viges! Do you understand me?" Ond asked while pointing his knives at the elves.


    With sad expressions on their faces, they replied in unison, "We understand".


    "Ahh, Souka, that exins why the elves are working for a jackass like you".


    Everybody gasped in shock as soon as they saw Sato walking out of the fire. The mes on his body were going off as Ice steams began putting out the fire.


    "The hell! How are you still alive?" Ond yelled, moving back to get some space.


    ''This hurts like hell, Can... Can you make the pain stop?'' Sato uttered, walking slowly towards Ond with his body still on fire.


    <Request confirmed>


    <Notice, The skill Pain nullification... obtained>


    "Perfect".


    All the mes around Sato''s body burned out leaving his body bare naked as his clothes began to turn into arshes.


    His skin had been burnt by the mes but with his new skill, he could barely feel the pain.


    "S-Stay back, don''te any closer!" Ond yelled before falling to his butt, he began crawling away with his butt rubbing against the ground.


    "Bow him down! Bow him down damn it!" Ond yelled again.


    The elves began setting in new arrows to fire, but before they could fire them Sato made his move.


    "Bang!" Sato voiced out, symbolizing his hands like that of a gun, he aimed it at one of the elves and fired an ice crystal at them.


    He kept on doing this till he had destroyed all their bow, leaving the elves speechless.


    Sato changed his focus and began his advance toward Ond, "Is this really the best you can offer?"


    "Hold on, wait! Please don''t kill me, I''ll give you whatever you want!" Ond begged, "Women, money, I can give you all, these stinking elves have a lots of women to spear".


    "I see," Sato muttered, "Well here''s the thing, you are going to have to answer my question, or else I can''t stop what''s going to happen next".


    "Why did you attack us?" Sato asked again.


    I had already held Elena, with her sword aimed at her neck before using her as a body shield just in case any of the elves nned to attack.


    Ond stood up from the ground after hearing Sato''s question, "Is that all you want to know?" He asked.


    "Yes." Sato replied.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Every year the elves hold a ceremony where they bring offerings to their savior, a med angel that saved them from the attack of a dragon." Ond uttered, he paused before he continued.


    "But this year, something happened that pretty much confirmed our doom, the seal that was ced on the me bird was breached by my brother, and now the god bird is angry, we woke it from its nap and it wants revenge, but if we give it another sacrifice it''s sure to calm down".


    ''med angel?   Do you have any idea what he''s talking about?'' Sato asked his Analysis skill.


    <Question confirmed. From them the description given, the foe is most likely a Phoenix bird>


    The system then proceeded to show Sato images and the history of the Phoenix bird.


    "Where is this bird now?" Sato asked Ond.


    "It''s in the vige, still trapped in the cave it had always been in for the past 500 years." Ond replied.


    "Take me there".


    Sato uttered, and everyone immediately wore a shocked look on their faces, especially I who pushed Elena to the side before walking toward Sato.


    "What the hell are you thinking? You want to be their sacrifice? I didn''t go to all this trouble just to have you be a sacrifice to some bird".


    Sato smiled, "Rx, I''m not going there to be a sacrifice." He smiled.


    "You''re not?" I asked with a confused expression.


    "Then why do you want to meet the god bird? If you''re hoping to defeat it then I''m sorry you are -".


    Ond was immediately interrupted by Sato''s words,


    "If this bird has protected you for years then it must have some connection with its people, I want to do ismunicate with it, that''s all, so please, take me there." He voiced out while looking Ond in the eye.


    Ond looked around to see the faces on the elves, those expressions were one that he knew they had made up their minds.


    After sighing, he turned his back and started walking to the vige, "Alright fine, I''ll take you there." He said while walking away.


    They walked to the vige after crossing a small bridge that had water flowing under it.


    The vige wasn''t that big, there were multiple leaf houses and a few y-made houses too.


    The Elves vigers all had their eyes on Sato and the rest as they entered the vige, after passing the middle of the forest they were suddenly confronted by the chief of the forest.


    He had no top on and had only animal skin around his waist, the elves were already packing, seemed like they were looking to vacate the ce as soon as possible.


    "Ond, were you able to get a sacrifice for the god bird?" The vige head asked, he was also a dark elf.


    Sato noticed as he looked around that the vige was mostly filled with elves and dark elves didn''t even pass the number four.


    <Notice,  high magic release in the are, finding a safe ce till youe up with a fight pattern is advised>


    ''Thanks for the warning, do you know where the bird is?''  Sato asked, he could see Ond discussing with the head of the vige.


    <Affirmative>


    A map suddenly showed up in Sato''s eye view, he saw the red blinking circle on the map which indicated where the Phoenix was.


    "Perfect." Sato muttered before taking to his heels and heading straight for the Phoenix.


    "Hey!" The vige head yelled, "Don''t just stand there, get him!".


    All the guard elves in the vicinity that had a weapon with them began chasing Sato.
