Zeke was supporting his body with Angel Halo. The fight with the other Dark Elf, which was revealed to be a mage, definitely tired his body and his mind out.

He didn't have to deal only with the tentacles that sprouted out from her skirt, but also the charm magic she spammed left and right.

The only thing that probably saved his ass against someone who was superior to him in everything was that he was "Conscious" about his true feelings.

Usually with spells concerning hypnosis, you don't even realize when you are hypnotized, but his mind was anchored to his memories, remembering how much inept and lazy he was when the subject was love, and also because he already knew that she could cast this type of spell.

On his vision, he could see the sealed Dark Elf running away.

"*Pant* I swear that if another comes out then I will shift to lethal violence."

Making a couple of holes in someone won't be that bad, at least he is mentally tired enough to not care about his own feelings, as long as the target isn't dead.

"Don't worry, you don't need to take care of anyone else, probably." Alice commented while slithering next to him.

"Probably?"

"I don't sense anyone else here, but there could be some further in the road." She explained.

Zeke sighed and pushed his body up with the help of Angel Halo, then he walked ahead, followed from Alice.

As he walked, he opened his quest screen.

[Survive(Medium): Self-explanatory. Reward: 8 Bonus Points]

This is the first time he obtained a medium-level survival quest, but it was probably because both the Dark Elves were stronger than him.

With the Orc Girl, he surpassed her through agility and was also armed with a kitchen knife and Jackal, so the reward wasn't much.

But the Dark Elves were superior to him in every way, he only won thanks to the element of surprise and Martial Arts.

He turned in the quest and received the 8 Bonus Points, which he split between Dexterity and Constitution.

"Anyway, something is weird…" Alice muttered to herself, and Zeke turned around for an explanation, which Alice proceeded to give.

"Dark Elves don't usually hang out in groups like that. Normally Elves are a pure race that acts like humans, but once they go through a process called Degeneration, they are no different than normal monsters.

It's rare seeing groups of them, unless a leader is with them, otherwise they will always act alone to avoid quarrels concerning their preys. In any case, if you want to hold on your virginity then you should hurry up with your things, before they gang up on you… But I will not blame you if you use Pumpkin."

Alice concluded, surprising Zeke. "After all, your own life if more important of the others. If you are really in extreme danger, I will forgive you if you use Pumpkin."

"...Ok." Zeke definitely didn't expect that, but he agreed with her logic. Then he started to think about something and took out his scouter from the Imperial Arm, before giving Pumpkin to Alice. "Can you hold this for a moment?"

Alice shrugged and held Pumpkin. Zeke removed some pieces of armor around his arms and knees, before he climbed over a tree with a monkey-like agility.

Then he picked a sturdy branch and used it as a trampoline. He kept going up and down while placing the scouter in his right eye. He zoomed his vision once he was high enough, and looked around.

A dozen of seconds later, he found a building a bit away from them. Zeke looked down and landed on the branch, this time breaking it, and reaching the ground safely.

Zeke removed the scouter from his face and picked up Pumpkin once again. After placing the scouter inside and put the Imperial Arm on his back, he pointed at one direction. "Over there."

Then he started to run towards the village he found before, with Alice easily reaching his speed. A black miasma surrounded her body as she shifted on her human form when she sensed they were approaching the village.

A couple of arrows flew on Zeke, completely ignoring Alice, but the Sun Authority blocked them for him.

And some minutes later, Zeke jumped, coming out from the forest. He twisted around his body and landed on the ground, one arm was gripping Angel Halo and the other was prepared to grasp Pumpkin, while he was facing the forest.

He glanced around and noticed that Alice wasn't with him, so he focused on other things. Behind his back there was Enrika, the village he needed to reach.

From the forest, many glowing eyes were glaring at him, and soon both humans and Dark Elves came out from the forest. Some were wielding bows, others held a sword or spear…

Zeke could only smile bitterly before he stabbed Angel Halo in the ground and took out Pumpkin in Machine Gun mode. "It seems I need to use heavy artillery…"

"Stop!" A female's voice echoed in the field, and the 'Humans' and Dark Elves lowered their weapons. Zeke, still holding on his Imperial Arm, turned his head around, finding a blonde haired woman wearing a green dress and holding a cold gaze.

'Jackpot.' Zeke thought, as he looked at the person he was looking for. Micaela, founder of Enrika, the second strongest and oldest angel to have ever existed, after Ilias herself, and the first Seraph.

Her combat prowess rusted a lot for the 30 years since she betrayed Ilias, but it was still definitely more than enough to wipe the floor with one of the Four Heavenly Knights.

The only hope Zeke has if his plan fails is summoning the Celestial Spirit of the Leo, with his Sun Authority. But hopefully, he won't need it.

Now that he thought about it, those humans he saw before should be Fallen Angels in disguise…

"What is going on here?" Micaela asked with a stern expression.

One Dark Elf went to her side and said. "Status Report, 2 Dark Elves are sealed into a miniature version of themselves, an armed intruder entered in the village."

She said the second part while looking at Zeke, Micaela raised an eyebrow and said. "Sealed into a miniature form…"

She sized Zeke up and noticed Angel Halo close to him, stabbed in the ground. Her eyes narrowed and asked him. "Who are you?"

Without missing a beat, Zeke answered. "Zeke Conquest, a simple traveler."

"And where are your items, 'Traveler'?" Micaela was doubtful since Zeke was only carrying weapons

"Pocket Dimension."

"A pocket dimen… You don't even have magic!" Micaela started to get irritated with these weird answers.

"Look, where I stick my items in, is a long story. I didn't come here to show off my shit, I am here to talk with you about something important without getting spied from anyone, literally anyone, including you-know-who."

Micaela's eyes widened in surprise, and asked. "You know about 'her'?"

"Can you just tell me if she has her eyes open or not? I'm too tired to speak cryptically."

The Seraph sighed and nodded. "Don't worry, this place is outside her range of vision."

Zeke breathed out in relief and said. "Thanks god… Well, to answer your question, yes. But I prefer to speak in private, to not cause panic." He pointed a thumb at his back.

Micaela looked behind Zeke and found only the Dark Elves and Fallen Angels. Then she glanced back at Zeke and nodded. "And so be it. Everyone else, turn back at your places."

At that order, the Fallen Angels and Dark Elves hid themselves inside the forest, leaving Zeke and Micaela alone.

Micaela turned around and gestured at Zeke to follow him, which he did after picking Angel Halo from the ground.
