Villain of my own novel

83 82. Press conference (2) (Legolin).

I instantly appeared in front of the figure and looked at him with curiosity.

"What is a 'Dark Elf' doing here?" I asked him.

Dark Elves are a type of elf; whereas 'elvish' elves are strong magically, dark elves are strong physically and are warriors among the elves. They have long pointy ears and are nature lovers; they consider and love everything that is part of nature but despise anything that is not.

They live long lives and isolate themselves so that they do not harm themselves by becoming even more close to nature than they already are; they despise demons only because they are not one of nature's creations.

They haven't formed any alliances among the humans because if the bond deepens, they will be the ones who suffer in the end; they are not only strong, but they also live longer than most other races. Dwarves can live for up to 500 years, whereas elves can live for at least a thousand. They are afraid of interacting with humans so that they do not grow fond of them, which is why they help the dwarves in a give and take fashion while ignoring the humans.

SWISH

BAM

He was startled and elbowed me in the face; I raised my right hand and defended myself with my left hand in my pocket.

"Chill dude, I have no malicious intent and if I had any....."

SWISH

While my left hand was still in my pocket, I moved behind him and aimed a dagger made of ice at his neck before he could react.

I looked up and leaned back near his ear; for some reason, the transformation magic on his ear had been undone and his ear moved up.

"I would have done this." I said in his long a*s ear.

He gulped down loudly and raised his hand in submission. The dagger in my hand vanished with a 'puff,' and I turned around, put my hands across his shoulders, and dragged him to the press conference with a bright smile.

"I am Eshwar Frost, nice to meet you." I released my arm around his shoulders and offered a hand shake which he took.

"Legolin." He introduced himself and followed me.

"What are you doing in the human domain Legolin?" I furrowed my brows and asked. I tapped on Seo Hana's shoulder and made her stand up.

"Mission, I need to speak with your king." Legolin replied with a firm tone.

"No kings in the human domain. If you still want a king, you can talk with me." I sat back on my seat with a smirk, said in the microphone and pointed at the empty chair for him to sit.

"If no kings, then leaders...." Legolin sat on the seat and said while staring at me.

"Hm? You are in luck! We're all leaders." I pointed at Quinn, Matthew, Seo Hana and Elise Ryan leaving Stan Walton out of it and making him girt his teeth in ire.

"..... Before that, how did you recognize me, human?" he asked.

"You have smell of blood and different magical elements on you." I pointed at my nose and at him.

"Are you elf too!?" he looked at me in disbelief and rage for reasons unknown.

"No." I shook my head leaving him more confused but his rage dulled.

***

Legolin had arrived in the human domain to finish his mission and in the hopes to collect his rewards for his efforts after he was done.

He was proud of his abilities as a warrior and a mage while respecting and learning from the strong, and after years of service to the elven domain, he decided to do something for himself for once and stop doing anything for the betterment of the elven domain by becoming a free 'runner.' He found it difficult at first, but grew accustomed to it quickly, and he began to work as an active 'runner' to supplement his income.

Runners are warriors who hunt down beasts, monsters, and the demonised or 'the fallen,' as they are known in the elven domain, and the runners are always on the frontlines of defending the domain.

He had accepted the mission solely because he knew 'lesser' beings were weak and that he wouldn't have to do much to complete the mission. He was asked to go to the sector five for his mission. When he arrived at the human domain, he found them amusing as the 'lesser' being seemed happy with their short life and weak mana core, but when he felt and followed strong mana waves, he had arrived at the 'audience' of the people and noticed that the people sitting above them were stronger.

'They must be the kings of different trib- No, was it sectors?' Legolin thought while looking at the conference.

'Is he an elf? He is excluding strong magical aura and doesn't have a 'human' scent....' Legolin was thinking while looking at a handsome white-haired young man who was glaring at the people below him.

SWOOSH

'Huh? Sh*t!' He cursed and his first instinct was to attack the unknown, who could be an ally or an enemy. Legolin had never allowed an enemy to get so close to him before, so he attacked whoever it was.

SWISH

BAM

"Chill dude, I have no malicious intent and if I had any....." he said and moved in a blur, abruptly appeared behind Legolin while pointing a weapon at his neck.

"I would have done this." The man said.

'He is strong!' Legolin thought and respected his strength.

"Are you an elf too?" Legolin asked.

'They sent me here and they sent another elf for the mission? They dare to send me here without trust? I swear on the mother tree, that I'll kill them al-' his thoughts were cut short by Eshwar.

"No." Eshwar shook his head in response.

"Huh?" Legolin looked at him, puzzled.

'Then, is he seriously a human? He's stronger than me though? 'Lesser' beings cannot transcend their limits! What is he?' Legolin looked at Eshwar gawkily.

"What mission were you talking about? If you speak here, the whole human domain will hear it and even the other leaders will listen to it." Eshwar asked.

'Mission!' Legolin remembered why he was here and snapped out of his reverie.

"Whole human domain will hear?" Legolin asked for confirmation.

"Yes, I assure you." Eshwar said looking Legolin straight in the eyes, Legolin nodded, turned to face the media people and undid his transformation magic.

"Whoa!!" excitement filled the crowd with gasps and looks of disbelief.

He was now grey-skinned, with white hair that matched Eshwar's and raised the question of whether he, too, was an elf. Legolin's magic on his ear had also come undone, revealing his long pointy ears.

He had charm of his own but looked more like a wild beast ready lunge at those who bares fangs at him.

"Humans, I am the envoy of the Elven Domain and have came here to notify that the Elven King impetrates an alliance with the human-dwarves alliance." Legolin said in a solemn voice.

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Is he serious?"

"You idiot, write it down and you, take pictures!"

"Really?!"

"That's big new!"

"Whoa!! Elves!"

CLI-CLICK (6x)

The conference was filled with murmurs and gasps, and Quinn and the others jumped back and stared in disbelief at Legolin.

"Why?" Eshwar asked and made everybody else stared at Legolin in silence.

'Maybe he really is the king of human domain.' Legolin thought as he stared at Eshwar from the corner of his eyes and noticed that he was the only one sitting calmly.

'Indeed, strong and calm should be the qualities of a king.' He thought.

"We the Elven Domain have noticed that the Domain of the fallen or 'the Demons domain' have started to amass their forces and are marching forward. We have come to conclusion that they are preparing for war!" Legolin announced and noticed Eshwar grin savagely for a split second which sent shivers down his spine.

'What? Did I see it wrong?' he thought.

"What?!"

"Wtf?"

"Are you serious!??"

"What do mean War?"

CLI-CLICK (6x)

"Why and how have you came to that conclusion?" Eshwar asked.

"..... From what we know, they have already infiltrated the human domain and now that they have gotten stronger, they will attack before the humans got stronger." He replied.

In an unknown place.

A silhouette of guy could be seen, he was looking at a screen where live broadcasting of the Eshwar's press conference was being displayed.

"Oh? Tsk, too bad that it's already been discovered." He clicked his tongue.

"Those idiots, I ordered them to move slowly without doing anything!" he snarled.

"..... They just had to ruin it at the start!!" He yelled in outrage, causing the ground to tremble.

"Huu..." he breathed out and took a deep breath.

"We'll need to change the plan for it to succeed and those damn idiots, maybe I should just kill them before the humans do!" he mumbled and ground tremor halted.

"An alliance between the three races, aye?" he mumbled and chuckled.

"This to is new from the pasts, let's see how this plays out."

"Well, I just have to order them to hasten the plan." He mumbled and two fiery bloody red eyes appeared.

"We'll take care 'brain' first." He said and clenched his fist in triumph.
