Two Dark Elves pushed Choi Han to the side as they activated their mana and called their Elementals to help them.

�Ugh!�

�Ugh!�

The two Dark Elves put their hands inside the hole left behind by Choi Han�s attack. They then let out groans and bit down on their lips.

�Ugh!�

They could hear it.

The terrible shrieks were slowly disappearing for the others, but the Dark Elves were able to hear a different kind of screeching in their minds.

It was the cries of the people who had turned into dead mana and the black despair.

Siiiiiiizle-

They felt as if their hands were burning.

Their hands looked fine on the outside, however, their insides were churning.

The two Dark Elves both recalled what Tasha had said to them.

�Endure it even if it is painful. I�m sure that you have seen the people who died while passing through the desert in the Land of Death! It is the cries of people who died an even more painful death than those who were running to live a better life.�

�So endure it.�

The Dark Elves bit down on their lips and continued to endure the pain.

They had no other choice.

�Huff, huff. Huff.�

They could see Choi Han pointing his sword at the Empire�s troops around them even as his body was shaking.

Choi Han�s entire body was shaking.

He was biting down on his lips quite hard.

�You plan on participating in this operation?�

Cale had asked this question once Alberu had left and only the two of them were there. Choi Han had seriously answered Cale�s nonchalant question.

�Yes, Cale-nim, I will participate. I am the best at locating the golems� cores and I can destroy them.�

He had added on after that. JrNovels.com
