Rebirth Of Abium 12 Chapter 12: Dark Elf

"Who are you? Where are you from?"

Dark elf kid appeared with Black, short hair tight in a ponytail revealed a full, radiant face and eyes like black marbles.

Abium kept his sword and answered to that kid's question slowly.

"I came here due to some accident. Now, I am on my journey to return to the mainland."

The dark elf looked at him curiously, suddenly found something unusual. He couldn't be able to notice Abium's skill color due to darkness surrounded inside that cave before. But now, after he looked closer, his eyes went wide open. He immediately thought of something and shouted in alarm.

"Y-You are an elf I saw in those history books! B-But How?"

"What do you mean?"

Abium narrowed his eyes and asked in a puzzled tone. In the past, he also met some dark elves in the auctions. He even knew these dark elves came from these forgotten lands.

"T+They taught us that the elven race went extinct during the ancient era. So how can you be here?"

Abium was a little stunned by that answer, although dark elves were members of the elven race.

But once they betrayed and sided with demons to take the authority, so later the whole dark elves were detained and sent to exile. Abium read those in the history books in that elven public library.

Abium let out a heavy sigh and explained calmly, "Elves didn't fall during the ancient war, and many of them are still living in the mainland."

"What?! are you telling the truth?"

That dark elf kid arrived near to him and asked in an exciting tone while examining his body. Abium just nodded his head and returned a question.

So, why did orcs chase you?"

The dark elf stared at him for a second, then spoke.

"I am Edveli Creza, son of the dark elf clan leader. I came here to investigate about that star tower destruction. But on my way, these orcs tried to ambush me, but somehow i managed to escape from that with only a slight wound. But they are still persistent and pursued me."

His reply made Abium little startled.

'So they already started to investigate about that tower destruction. I need to be careful with words from now on.'

Following, Edveli digs out magic crystals from the orcs and tossed one towards Abium. Once Abium received the intermediate magic crystal and stored it inside his ring, he introduced himself.

"My name is Abium, a half-elf. I discovered a secret tunnel during exploration and followed that hidden path. But by the time I noticed something was off, I already arrived here to these forgotten lands. Then that tower destruction caused the secret pa.s.sage to buried inside the ground, leaving me with no option to return."

Abium didn't want to share anything regarding tower destruction so, he told Edveli only about how he came there.

Edveli also didn't ask him further questions. Moreover, Edveli understood if some other clan members found this half-elf, then they would capture him.

Well, possibly use him as an experimental subject to study. So Edveli just gave Abium some advice.

"Don't stay here in these forgotten lands. If my clan members found out a half-elf is here, then no one can able to save you from them. So quickly go to the borderland and escape."

Edveli suddenly thought of something and continued.

"Be wary of orcs and wyverns."

Abium thanked him and began to move on his way. But suddenly, Edveli thought this might be an excellent opportunity to make an acquaintance from outside and suggested an idea.

"STOP! Let's make a deal. If I will help you to cross this orcs' territory, will you fulfill one promise."

Edveli said with a grin on his face. Meanwhile, Abium stopped his track and furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you want from me?"

"If you come here again next time, then you must bring me to that mainland, how is it?" Edveli clasped his palm and said with sparkling eyes.

When he heard that reply, Abium let out another heavy sigh and nodded; moreover, If he gets this dark elf kid's help means he might easily escape from these forgotten lands.

"Don't your clan members look for you?"

Edveli shook his head and replied with a calm tone, "No problem, I didn't tell them when I came here. Those fools will think I am still in my room so no problem."

Abium nodded in understanding and informed.

"Before we move towards the borderlands, we should erase our trails."

Then both hid their tracks and progressed towards the eastern direction.

Abium also felt grateful that Edveil remained as an ally; otherwise, he might be in deep trouble.

Mostly Abium followed Edveil's advice, and both of them moved faster. On the way, Abium noticed many strange trees and plants that he had never seen in his life.

Trees tall as cathedrals surrounded them, and a strange green light - almost holy - shimmered through the vast canopy of leaves.

The forest seemed to have an intelligence of its own. Its voice was the sudden screech of a parrot, the flicker of a monkey swinging through the branches overhead. It knew they were there.

So far, Abium and Edveli had been lucky. They had been attacked, of course, by goblins and kobolds. But some monsters had left them alone.

Once they reached a safe area, Abium asked,

"Edveli, you said that if other dark elves knew about me, then they will arrest me, why is that?"

"Oh that, here strong rule the weak brother. And you are an elf that was known as an extinct race in the forgotten lands. So, of course, they will capture you." Edveli reply gave him chills. Then Edveli also began to explain about the life inside these forgotten land.

After a few minutes, Abium got to know more thing about this land. In these forgotten lands, many races exist in different regions.

Each clan appears to have two or three high tier members. They were the ones managing most of these lands.

Besides, every clan had been allied together and battled against these orcs, goblins, and other monsters for centuries.

"Now, if you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, then it will make others think of you as a threat from outside. So they will try to find out the reason using any necessary methods" Edveli paused for a second and continued his explanation,

"Don't underestimate these monsters because all high tier monsters were intelligent enough to understand our languages and civilized in some regions and controlled those lands."

Abium asks him in confusion,

"Why didn't you move towards the mainland? You will be much safer right?"

Edveli laughed at him then began to explain,

"Do you think our ancestors didn't consider that? If we move towards the mainland, then we will barely move with fewer numbers. Additionally, we will also face a lot of casualties in the borderlands. Somehow if we succeed in all the above, then we must face opposition from humans. If humans knew about the dark elves' history, then they will invade our territory and kill our family members."

Abium also experienced the dark side of humans.

Both of them exchanged pieces of information and finally arrived at a narrow path. Both sides blocked by large rocks and many poisonous wines. Suddenly Abium noticed red markings on the map ahead of them, so he signaled Edveli about the enemy.

Edveli got astounded about his scouting experience.

Then both moved towards the front to see a glimpse of the monster. What stood in front was a sizeable bull-like monster, resting near the rock.

Minotaur! It was a humanoid monster with head and tail of a bull, and it's strength might be comparable to high tier monsters, and it's skin also pretty hard to penetrate.

Both looked at each other in confusion. Because here was the border of two territories; no other monsters would strolling around.

But now they were facing a new enemy which was more troublesome than those orcs. If both have to cross the path, then their only way was to fight head-on using all their strength.

And if a fight occurs, it would be a hard fight for both sides. Besides, Abium wouldn't able to keep his intermediate sword aura for a long time.

Due to Minotaur's tough skin, it would be more challenging to kill. So both Edveli and Abium retreated and moved towards a safer location.

Abium considered for a while and finally said with a serious tone,

"If we have to kill that Minotaur, then it would be hard, and we will also alert the nearby monsters.

But if we successfully mislead that Minotaur, then I can sneak into the other side."

Edveli objected instantly,

"I won't there to a.s.sist you, and you may also encounter monsters on the way."

Abium also knew about that, but he didn't trust Edveli completely.

So Abium firmly said: "I appreciate your concerns Edveli, but I will be alright, but if you accompany me, you may encounter ambush while returning."

Then Edveli agreed to distract that Minotaur and help Abium to move towards the east.

After a short exchange, they once again walked towards that narrow path, where that Minotaur was resting. Once they entered Minotaur's range of vision, he yelled towards Minotaur.

"Oi! Stupid bull, Wake up."

Meanwhile, Abium sneaked behind a rock and waited for an opening.

Minotaur abruptly awakened due to that noise and glared at Edveli then bellowed at him.

Its eyes grew red then sprang towards Edveli. Although it's strength was higher than normal intermediate monsters, but its agility was low. Once Edveli noticed Minotaur running towards his direction, he immediately dashed towards the other side while he started to shout towards Abium.

"Now is your opportunity. Go! Let's meet again someday, so, till then, don't get killed yourself by some goblins."

Abium let out a fake sigh and nodded towards Edveli. Then he moved towards the eastern direction while Edveli ran towards a separate path.

Minotaur became confused when Abium appeared behind that monster. By the time it snapped out of it, both of them had vanished from its sight.

After a few minutes, Edveli climbed on a big tree looked at eastern direction then murmured in a low voice.

"I never imagined elves remained after that battle; I must notify this to my dad. If that Great elder noticed a trace about Abium, then he may send others to capture him."

After that, he headed towards interior lands hurriedly.
