17 Delva

Hyōdō Issei is up to something fishy, Lars or Takigawa have been observing the boy for quite some time.

He can't put his finger on what he is up to, but that strange energy pulsating out of his mortal body is growing day by day, and on top of that Hyōdō Issei is acting out of his character, usually, the boy would sleep all day in classes or mess with his smartphone, but for the past few days that Hyōdō Issei is observing each and every action of their classmates and including him, something about those sharp eyes of the boy unnerved him greatly.

"He could become a danger to Ojou-Sama, should I eliminate him?" Lars thought while he stared coldly at the boy who is evidently engrossed with the lesson.

Unknown to him the disguised SCP 2006 perceived Lars's dark thoughts via its telepathy powers a handy power he copied from the Shy Guy.

'We will see who eliminate who, devil scum!' The SCP, disguised as his dear creator, darkly chuckled inwardly while he let a cold smile spread across his face.

A bell rang alarming us about the movements of the dark elves, I took up a position at the front of the group, while Nol and Evelyn remained behind me, awaiting orders.

After a while, we finally sighted around 10 or so dark elve warriors along the road leading to the village.

They were heavily equipped, each in the same way. Some wore leather armor and some did not have their plate armor on, exposing the skin underneath. Some of them wore helmets, while some went bareheaded.

All of them had swords of similar make, but apart from that, they also carried bows, javelins, maces, axes, and other backup weapons, with them.

They formed up neatly before the barrier protecting the village, three busty women with little to no piece of armor on them stepped forward from the rest of the force.

"Elda the warmaiden… Misery the dark magician and General Delva the current leader of Dark Elves." Evelyn informed me.

"Oh… Are you the one who betrayed us?" Misery smiled darkly at Evelyn and tossed her blonde hair. "Such a brave kid, but… Isn't going against your own people is kind of imprudent?" Misery lifted her staff in the air and slammed the end of it on the ground.

The ground shook quite violently and just like the zombies in heaven and hell mode creatures made out of stone dug themselves out of the ground.

"You must be the Messiah, you surely an eye candy, Human~" Misery said while eyeing me. "Listen, foolish human, I will offer you a chance to live and join our side. And if you don't, the village will be obliterated!" Delva sneered.

I didn't know why but her words sound funny as hell to me, a bunch of dark elves under level 100 and some bunch of summons made out of stone will obliterate the village?

Bitch, please! My dear Nol can easily solo you guys, just where the hell your confidence is coming from?

I shake my head in disappointment, except for these three busty women the others are nothing but cannon fodder.

Delva the purple-haired beauty is on level 110, Misery is on level 90 and Elda is on level 70, they are strong but compare to Nol they are so and so, and also, I think I can defeat these three in a one and one battle, I will have a little bit of problem with Delva, but I am confident in my own skin.

I can indeed defeat her, aftercall I have 500k more health points and my mana points exceed hers by a large gap.

"Nah, I am fine." Their face twisted into anger when they heard my nonchalant rejection. "Hmph, you raised some annoying barrier, as usual, Nol." Delva sneered and continued. "Do you think a weak barrier can protect you guys?" She taunted haughtily.

"Meh, not at all." Nol laughed sweetly. "You Greenhorns…" The three women shot a sour look towards us on hearing Nol's insult, or more like the truth, compare to Nol these peoples are nothing but fledging, if she really wanted, she can crush them easily but High Elves don't like violence in the first place, they would prefer a more peaceful solution than fighting, so Nol never went Doomslayer on these people.

There was nothing left to say, Delva, let out a thunderous battle cry. "Then, forward! Tear their guts out!" She ordered her soldiers.

"Well…" Before coming here, I checked my abilities, the ones I got after becoming a demon and it came to my notice that my ability to control the ten commandments itself is something not to be frown upon, and let me tell you why.

There are ten decrees in total, first is faith, anyone who shows a lack of faith will have their own eyes set ablaze. Second is Love, anyone who holds hatred in their heart will be unable to afflict harm on anyone else. Third is Pacifism, anyone who kills will rapidly have their own time stolen away, causing them to rapidly age and die. Forth is Patience, anyone who shows intolerance of pain will be inflicted with further pain. Fifth is Piety, anyone who shows their back to the wielder will become an obedient slave of the Demon King and by extension. Sixth is Purity, anyone who conducts impure deeds will be inflicted with illness. Seventh is Repose, anyone who fights without rest will get their magic sealed away. Eight is Reticence, anyone who expresses hidden feelings and/or emotions will be rendered unable to speak. Ninth is Selflessness, anyone who holds desire from another person will lose their memories, emotions, and sense of self and last one is Truth, anyone who lies or goes back on their word will be petrified into stone.

These powers are both blessing and a curse to its wielder, so I have to be extremely careful when I use this specific ability of mine.

I activated the Commandment of Love, and immediately they were inflicted by the commandment. All of them stopped suddenly as if they are forced to stand-rooted by some unknown force.

They dropped their weapons as they looked at each other in confusion and fear. "I have no strength in my sword hand." A dark elf stuttered out.

"W-Wh-What's going on?" Another one asked nervously. "Why is that?" Elda tried to grab her AX from the ground, but she managed to lower her hand a few centimeters before she let out a pained cry.

"Oh my! What sorcery is this, I can't use my magical power, either!" Misery looked down at her own hands in confusion.

"What's going on, Misery? Why are we powerless before these bastards?" Delva was actually able to move under the commandment power, well I guess due to her higher level she was able to resist it up to some extent, but it's taking all her willpower just to grab her sword from the ground, I guess she will be able to break herself out of it rather quickly.

So, I cleared my throat and satiate their confusion. "Anyone who stands before me with hatred in their hearts loses their ability to hurt others." I smiled gently at them, which seem to be enough to instill fear in them.

Well, not all of them, Misery eye's gleamed happiness… and lust? She is strange… Yep definingly strange.

Elda glared hatefully at me as if I killed her dear dog, and Delva glared at me with more fury than I thought possible for a woman to express.

"You coward! How dare you use such dishonorable means!" What a furious scream, this woman, she surely has fire in her.

[Warning one of the targets is about to break free from the curse in 10, 9, 8…] She gritted her teeth, and slowly with great difficulty, she took a step forward.

"Fight me, Human! Fair and square!" She screamed at me in rage burning in her eyes while she readied her blade to strike me.

"Why should I? I ain't going to get anything from fighting you poor and helpless little things." That statement angered her more. "You have nothing of my interest, wealth, I don't care about wealth, it's just a meaningless thing for me now, Glory? I do not need it… As for women, I have plenty." Nol let out a sweet soft moan while my dark-skinned Evelyn fidgets in embarrassment as I wrapped my hands around their tender waists.

"So give one reason, just one, and tell me why should I fight you?" I asked her calmly, maintaining the same gentle smile.

"You're a coward… Human!" Delva bits her lower lip and looks up at me with a piercing gaze. "Let's have a contest then, coward! If you can defeat me in a one and one showdown! I will become your slave, but if I defeat you, you will let my people and me retreat… unscathed?" She proposed, Bingo! She fell for it!

"Very well, Alma can you lend me your spear?" She nodded and handed her spear to me. [You have obtained Areadbhair spear: Rarity Epic]
