GILF Hunter

Chapter 546 - 11 Elf Village

After returning to the Elf Village, Shara had to sort out her feelings and hand over her duties before leaving on her journey, so she decided to stay a few more days before departing.

Terry and Sophia headed to the city of Mizri to collect the money for the Elves.

’No way, if those bitches get involved, I’ll be treated like yesterday’s leftovers.’

Sophia was deep in thought. She knew her place well. The newly recruited Elf and Mermaid were stunning beauties, much stronger than her, and Terry’s gaze towards them was unsettling. Terry had recruited them without even consulting her.

The thought stuck in her head, making her believe she might be abandoned or, in the worst-case scenario, killed.

Or, even if that didn’t happen, her position could be significantly diminished.

Unintentionally, hadn’t all their companions except for Alfred and herself already died? Sophia couldn’t sleep due to anxiety.

Complaining was even more absurd. She was practically Terry’s slave due to the Subordination Skill. Eventually, unable to bear the anxiety, she spoke to Terry.

”Then bring the Lightning Magician. If you bring him, I’ll release the Subordination and let you go cleanly.”

”No. I can’t without you...”

’These words won’t come out!’

What she wanted to say was, ’I can’t live without you.’ But the command not to lie was in effect, so the words wouldn’t come out.

”Can’t without what?”

”It seems like it would be very difficult. Please don’t abandon me.”

”Okay. I got it. I can’t abandon you, my dear.”

Terry hugged Sophia and comforted her.

”Don’t worry. I only recruited them as companions because of their powerful Skills. You’re the only one I like.”

”Thank you, honey. But... I’m still anxious. Can’t you just not accept those bitches into the party?”

”Hmm... Should I? I’ll think about it.”

’Yes. He wouldn’t abandon me after all.’

Even though her face wasn’t exceptionally pretty, she was reasonably attractive and acted like a fox, so she had a knack for seducing men.

She was a little anxious, but she believed Terry had fallen for her charm. His face seemed honest. She could see the love in his eyes. She had always been able to catch that and use it to seduce and exploit men.

”Then, honey, release this Subordination Skill for me. At least the commands. It’s so uncomfortable.”

”Okay. I’ll release it once you bring the Lightning Magician. It’s a very important matter.”

”Okay, thank you. But why the Lightning Magician?”

”I have something to experiment with. I’ll tell you later.”

Sophia called Colin, the Lightning Magician. She had long sensed Colin’s feelings for her.

However, Colin didn’t meet her standards in terms of appearance or ability, so she had always just managed him like a fish in a pond.

Therefore, summoning him was very easy. She induced a secretive atmosphere, drank alcohol with him, slipped sleeping pills into it, and took him to Terry.

After Subordinating and interrogating him, he wasn’t a righteous person either. It was fortunate that she wouldn’t feel any guilt about disposing of him.

”Go home and live as usual, and then come here tonight without telling anyone.”

From Colin’s perspective, he was overwhelmed in a chaotic situation, so he had no choice but to return home without properly knowing the reason.

’But this guy doesn’t seem very useful. Why did my honey tell me to bring him?’

”This works?”

[Condition satisfied. Would you like to synthesize Fire Magic (D), Water Magic (B), Lightning Magic (E), Wind Magic (B), Earth Magic (D) into Five Elements Body (D)?]

[Condition satisfied. Would you like to synthesize Fire Magic (D), Water Magic (D), Lightning Magic (E), Wind Magic (C), Earth Magic (E) into Five Elements Magic (D)?]

He was troubled by the lack of Trait slots, but it turned out that Skills held by Subordination could also be synthesized.

”I didn’t know magic could be synthesized too. Huh? What’s this...?”

[Five Elements Body: A body with talents for Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind, and Earth, the five elements. Additional enhancement effects are given beyond the current rank of the five elements.]

[Five Elements Magic: A body that has mastered Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind, and Earth, the five elements. Additional enhancement effects are given beyond the current rank of the five elements.]

[Five Elements Body and Five Elements Magic have been synthesized through the Plunder Skill and Subordination Skill.

If Subordination is released, the synthesized Skills will be released again.

The rank of the released Skills may drop to their original rank.

If there is not enough space in the Plunder Skill slots when released, you must select and remove Skills equal to that number.

If not removed within a certain time, the lowest-ranked Skills will be automatically removed.]

The bullshit was long, but in short, the Five Elements Body and Five Elements Magic were being maintained by the Subordination Skill, but if Colin’s Subordination was released, the Five Elements Body and Five Elements Magic would be released, and the four magics would be separated again. If there wasn’t enough space in the Plunder slots, Skills would disappear.

”It’s not going to be easy after all, but it doesn’t matter.”

The next day, he called Colin and eliminated him. Fortunately, even if there wasn’t enough space, it was immediately absorbed by Plunder, so the Five Elements Body and Five Elements Magic were maintained.

”Honey...? Why Colin...”

She had used others quite a bit until now, but she had only exploited them and never harmed anyone. Sophia herself was treated a little less harshly, and she didn’t think Terry would mercilessly harm people.

She thought he was replenishing the party members since the party had shrunk, but he just killed him outright, leaving her dumbfounded.

”Sophia.”

”Huh?”

”Listen carefully to what I’m about to say. I’ve thought about it, and I’m sorry, but I can’t take you with me after all.”

”What...? Why on earth!”

”I’m going on an adventure from now on. I’m going to find stronger companions and conquer dangerous dungeons. I want to take you with me, Sophia, but as you know, your abilities have limitations. You won’t fit in with our adventure and will be left behind.”

”No, don’t abandon me. I’ll follow you to the end.”

”If you’re confident that you won’t harbor resentment towards me when I abandon you and leave, and that you will never tell anyone about me, then stay still. If you’re not confident, then make a contract here.”

He held a magic contract in his hand.

”What? Honey, please don’t abandon me. I can do anything for you.”

Even though he had given the command not to lie, the words ’I can do anything’ came out. That meant she could sincerely do anything, but only to the extent that it didn’t go against his wishes and didn’t cause her significant harm.

And as if to prove it, her body moved automatically according to the command, unlike her words. She wasn’t one to keep her mouth shut, nor was she loyal. Her hand automatically began to sign the magic contract.

”No. Please! Please don’t do this! What are you trying to do to me? Please stop!”

But the magic contract didn’t work. The magic contract had to have the person’s sincerity to work properly.

”Sophia. I don’t want to kill you. Choose. Whether you die here by my hand, or sign that contract.”

The contents of the contract were as follows: She would not chase after him, would not think of revenge against him, and would not disclose or attempt to disclose his Skills to anyone in any way. Contracts were expensive.

Eliminating Sophia was also an option, but he didn’t want to consider that method. He didn’t love her, but he had grown attached to her while sleeping with her. It seemed he had grown even more attached because she was his first woman.

After persuading her, she had no choice but to sign in despair. He released her Subordination, gave her a final farewell kiss, and left.

”Goodbye.”

”You bastard!! Live well and prosper!!”

Was it because she had played with men too easily until now? She hadn’t greatly suspected Terry.

Of course, even if she had suspected him, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. The command was absolute. Of course, he was planning to dispose of Alfred soon as well.

”A little regrettable, but I can’t take you on our adventure.”

She was too despicable to be with the innocent women, and she was too weak to be with the strong ones. But he couldn’t just release her either.

If he released the Subordination and she became free, she could reveal that he had Plunder or Subordination Skills, which could lead to dangerous situations. If reported and discovered by those with Detection Skills, he could be killed in the worst case.

The Plunder and Subordination Skills were that OP. He had heard that nobles would capture and educate those who had awakened brainwashing and hypnosis Skills to their liking, or dispose of them if they couldn’t handle them, as they were enough to threaten their authority.

”This is why attachment is scary. I’m a little sad.”

He felt lonely, but not enough to cry.

The next day, he disposed of almost all his belongings and handed Marco’s sword to Thomas. It was at least several times better than the sword Thomas was using.

”Huh?? Terry, this is...?”

”I’m leaving Mizri now. Thank you for everything. Take care.”

He hadn’t originally planned to give him anything, but he suddenly felt grateful that he had helped him when he first started, so he handed it over. He couldn’t give him much because they needed to take enough money for their long journey.

They donated everything to the Elf Village except for the travel expenses and the purchase of two horses. This was because Shara wouldn’t worry about the village if it had enough funds. That much was nothing to Shara.

Besides, with Marinna too... Thinking of the flowers on both sides made him smile involuntarily.

”Terry. Thank you so much for your kindness. Next time you come, we will make plenty of our Elves’ pride, alcohol.”

”Haha, thank you.”

After talking with the village chief, he took Shara and Marinna and set off. Marinna was wearing Elf clothes because her original outfit was too revealing.

”Ugh~ These clothes are a little uncomfortable.”

Even though the clothes were optimized for movement, she was used to wearing almost nothing but lace, so even that was a little uncomfortable for her.

”Where are Sophia and Alfred?”

”They were too deeply hurt by the death of their companion, so they’ve all returned to their hometowns to live ordinary lives. We won’t see them again.”

”Yes? That’s a shame. I didn’t even get to say goodbye properly...”

”By the way, where are we going??”

”For now, our final destination is the Tower of Infinity.”

”Yes?! That’s so far?”

”Huh? What’s the Tower of Infinity?”

”It’s a tower-shaped dungeon in the city of Liesel in the Carti Empire.”

”A dungeon? Why are we going there?”

”It’s a tower that no one has ever conquered, a place where all the strong people of the continent gather.”

”Ugh... Strong people...?”

Marinna’s reaction wasn’t great.

”It’s not confirmed, but it’s said that if you conquer it, any wish will be granted. And it’s one of the biggest cities on the continent.”

”But isn’t it too far...?”

”I’m going to travel through several countries. I’m thinking of going to Britri, the country of Beastmen, first.”

”The country of Beastmen? Why there?”

”Because my Skills are Detection and Subordination. I’m going to gather powerful companions with these Skills. And someday, I’ll challenge the Tower of Infinity.”

And basically, there are statistics that the abilities of other races are, on average, higher than those of humans.

”Well, honestly, those are all secondary. Wouldn’t the real purpose be to see the world? I’ve always wanted to see what the world is like.”

”Terry is similar to me. I was only in the small Elf Village, so going outside was so much fun.”

”Really? I didn’t have that. It’s fun even when I play with my friends.”

”Hehehe. There are many more fun things waiting outside.”

”Oh!! I like fun things!”

’Simple, which is good.’
