Raising the Elf’s Genius Slayer

---

Chapter

A long time had passed since Enok returned to the Elf Union, and he blinked at the elves’ response, which was as ordinary as seeing someone yesterday.

“Isn’t it quite a long time, though?”

“Well, elves can often stay holed up for several years, so a year doesn’t feel long at all.”

So a year was indeed short for them. Nodding in understanding, Enok felt himself being dragged along.

“But, Rionne.”

“Yeah? What’s up?”

“I wanted to ask…”

Yonia, who was greeting him cheerfully, looked over with a dazed expression.

Well, waving while being dragged along would do that. Even when he asked Rionne, who seemed flustered, she responded calmly.

“What about it? You’re the one in a rush, Rionne. Really, you’re not in a rush at all.”
[You look super anxious, though?]

Suddenly, Undine appeared, settling on top of Enok’s head. Her expression was not to be taken lightly. A fierce pout seemed to protrude from her lips.

[Seriously, how ridiculous can people be? How can you just dump a spirit who’s been waiting with bated breath and leap across space to meet this brat? Are you still human after that!?]

“Ah, well… I thought he’d be surprised, since I gained enlightenment during that sudden situation…”

[I am! I am a spirit!]

“Hehe.”

The elf, who forced a smile, shot a glare at the spirit, who ultimately sighed. Even in that situation, she didn’t stop dragging Enok.

‘You troublesome brat.’

Although Undine wanted to interfere badly, she endured with the patience of a high spirit. After nine hundred years of hardship, even for Undine, if she hindered this, she could end up with a slap in the face.

Eventually, Enok was hurriedly delivered home, and as soon as he entered the living room, he was shoved by Rionne.

Thud—

Rionne leaned against the wall, looking at him. Being sandwiched between the wall and Rionne felt… not bad at all.

“Enok, I’m going to ask you one last time.”

“Yeah? Sure.”

“Are you really not regrets?”

Rionne’s clear eyes peered into Enok. The unique elven gaze transcended to the realm of demigods and sublimated into a single power.

Normally, he wouldn’t want to delve into his heart with such power, but this time it was truly important, so Rionne steeled her resolve.

“I’m an elf, you know. Now I’m also a demigod. If you miss this opportunity, you’ll have to live for hundreds, thousands of years just looking at me.”

“Is that so?”

“My jealousy is extreme too. I absolutely won’t tolerate a concubine.”

“Yeah, whatever.”

“But it’s okay?”

“What kind of silly question is that?”

Enok grabbed Rionne’s cheek.

“That’s a good thing.”

Enok and Rionne’s gazes crossed. Rionne’s eyes pierced into Enok’s heart. Without any thought of hiding, the sticky emotions lay bare, making Rionne’s breath tremble.

“…Did you seduce me, Enok?”

“Um…?”

Clank—!

In an instant, both of them vanished. Then there was the sound of a door almost ready to break.

Undine, Eri, and Tsukiyo, who were watching the situation in a stupor, blinked and exchanged glances.

[What on earth is this…?]

– R-Rionne…? Hold on a second…!

[Oh….]

At the explicit sounds coming from within, the three closed their mouths. It was a new realization that such sounds occur when a starving elf hunts a human.

– Aaah…! E-Enok…! S-Sister…! Aah, I’m gonna—…!

[Oh dear.]

It was a noteworthy point that the situation reversed in just ten minutes. What a shameless brat. Undine clicked her tongue.

After that, as if a soundproof barrier had been raised, the noise stopped, but anyone with common sense could guess what was happening inside that room. Of course, so could the spirits.

And thus, a week passed.

[Those beastly brats.]

And then,

Click—

The door that had been tightly shut opened. Everyone’s eyes turned there. Who would have emerged victorious!

“What? What are you doing in there?”

Enok came out casually, tilting his head. Undine and Tsukiyo exchanged glances and nodded.

[Well, look where we ended up.]

“Hmm. You dragged me so hurriedly, yet it only lasted ten minutes, huh.”

Undine shot Enok a sidelong glance. His expression was as blank as usual, but somehow, there was a sheen to his skin.

Isn’t it normally the opposite? The spirit wondered aloud.

[Rionne?]

“She’s asleep.”

[Not passed out, right?]

After a moment’s hesitation, Enok nodded.

“Yeah. That’s not wrong.”

[Oh wow.]

The disgusted Undine cautiously stepped into the room. Surprisingly, there weren’t any strange smells. It seems she had cleaned everything up with magic before coming out.

“Aww… Enok is a beast….”

Gazing at the elf mumbling in her sleep, the spirit ultimately shook her head.

[Oh dear, what a fool.]

So, he finally made his dream come true.

The elf, covered with a blanket in her naked form, seemed to be dreaming a happier dream than ever.

*

The next day, the elf woke up with a blissful smile on her face, her cheeks flushed.

“Hee, heehee…”

[Wow… I really can’t look at that.]

Ignoring the contemptuous glares directed at her, she hugged tightly her partner, who was over 800 years younger.

“Enok~.”

“Yeah.”

“What nickname do you like? Sugar? Honey? Or, umm… cutie?”

Bang—! Unable to take it anymore, Tsukiyo leaped up.

“Can you stop already? Aren’t you too old for this nonsense?!”

“Hmph, you wouldn’t understand since you’ve never loved anyone.”

“If I’m a kid, your partner can’t even be a baby!”

It was a statement that left no room for rebuttal. Cornered, Rionne resorted to a cowardly tactic: changing the subject.

“By the way, I heard someone else became a demigod almost at the same time as me. Have you heard anything?”

[No, we were super surprised when we saw that happen. Mom, do you know anything?]

“Well… I only know that there’s a magical presence.”

At the mention of magic, Enok tilted his head.

“Magic means the demon race, right?”

“Huh? Not really. Surprisingly, there are quite a few people who can wield magic in the Middle Realm.”

“True. I could do it if I wanted to.”

At Enok’s words, Rionne nodded vigorously.

“Exactly! Last time I saw you, I was super surprised! I couldn’t believe how much stronger you had gotten in just a short time. You grew in more ways than one… heehee…”

[Ugh….]

Undine, unable to bear it any longer, retched and left the room. She was even more of a pervert than a monkey crazy with lust after breaking her virginity after nine hundred years.

“Anyway, Enok! Now that I think about it, we don’t need to be apart anymore!”

Enok had quickly risen to Grandmaster rank, and Rionne herself had attained the level of demigod.

What was the reason for Enok to rush up in rank?

Because he was born with the command of Heavenly Death, but now he had mostly shaken off the influence of Heavenly Death.

Normally, even a Grandmaster would be greatly affected, but Enok had grown too quickly and shed it before the blessings of Heavenly Death could settle down.

“If later the influence of Heavenly Death becomes stronger, you can resolve it.”

Demigod.

That supreme level couldn’t simply be explained as just getting stronger.

A mortal had transcended mortality. It was something that defied the laws of the world, and achieving it meant facing the will of the world head-on.

“So now, you just need to trust your sister, Enok. I’ll take care of everything!”

Rionne, who had been smiling broadly, clung to Enok’s arm.

“Shall we start planning for children? How many do you want? Three? Four? I think I could comfortably have around ten and live happily.”

As Rionne clung quietly, Enok spoke.

“But Rionne, did you finish everything we talked about last time? Didn’t we have to find Father’s clone and retrieve his emotions?”

“Ah, Father…! Enok called him Father! Did you hear that, Eri!?”

[Ah, yes… So what happened with that?]

With a beaming smile, Rionne kissed Enok on the cheek.

“Take your time, it’s okay! There’s no rush!”

“Wasn’t mom working really hard on something?”

“Huh? Oh, right.”

Rionne seemed to realize it only now and slapped her palm. Tsukiyo started looking at Rionne with contempt.

“What a terrible unfilial daughter.”

“Hehe…”

With nothing to say, Rionne only smiled awkwardly.

“Well, now that it’s been brought up, shall we look for him?”

“How?”

“Aww, our Enok. I have all kinds of methods.”

Rionne, who rubbed her cheek against Enok’s, suddenly stood up in the middle of the living room.

Her previously carefree expression rapidly turned serious, and a breeze of green energy began to swirl around her.

[Huh….]

A focus vanished from her gaze. Pieces of a soul awakened from a faraway sky looked down upon the continent.

As her will stood firm, it became the will of a world, and a colossal tree sprouted from the realm of souls, overshadowing half the world.

“…”

Feeling something faintly, Enok looked at Rionne with newfound amazement.

He thought he had caught up quite a bit, but she had taken a few more steps forward.

‘But still, it’s soon.’

The ritual of Marriage was successfully completed. In truth, like a wedding among humans, it was proper to hold the ceremony with the blessings of acquaintances, but unable to wait, Rionne had instantly finished it.

Anyway, currently, half of Rionne’s soul belonged to him.

Being a demigod’s soul, Rionne had a bit of worry during the binding of souls, but there was no issue at all; it settled comfortably within him, as if it belonged there.

In that process, he felt the essence of being a demigod.

He may not know the path leading up to it, but knowing the destination made all the difference.

Of course, he understood as well. The levels of cultivation showed more considerable differences as one ascended.

He needed to carve his own path, not simply follow the rank Rionne achieved.

‘But it won’t take too long…’

[I found it.]

Rionne opened her eyes. Her expression was serious.

[Wait a moment. I need to go. Mom is in danger. I think a newly born demigod is there too.]

What could that possibly mean?

“I’m coming with you. I’ll help.”
