Manga Chapter 05

Ariane The Elf II (エルフ族のアリアン Ⅱ) is the fifth chapter of Skeleton Knight In Another World Manga.

Summary
The female dark elf demands the slavers to release the elven children. One of the men seeing that there are twenty of them is not the least intimated by the elf and tries to grab her only for his offending hand to be cut off. She then attacks taking out many of the slavers in a matter of minutes despite being outnumbered. The slavers try to counterattack by surrounding her, but the elf easily break through their formation and continues to kill the humans. The ringleader, Uldran is shocked by the slaughter of his goons, backs himself to the cage cart and realizes the young elves inside.

A cry from the cage halts the female elf's attacks as Uldran demonstrates that he is stabbing the children through the cage and warns that he will kill them unless she surrenders. The elf curses at the how low the human would stoop to use children, but the man evilly laughs and orders his men to tie the elf up so they can enjoy her. Arc with Ponta on his shoulder appears to intervene and delivers a [Armored Lariat] into the arrogant man's solar plexus, sending him into the air. The female elf no longer held back by hostages, then continues hacking the slavers with her blade with Arc pummeling them with his fists.

Arc hurries to rip the bars of the cage to free the children, but he is stopped by the female elf who holds a sword to his back. Not trusting him she demands to see his face, which Arc refuses. All suspicion evaporates once she notices Ponta accompanying Arc. All the children are freed from the cage, but the older elf curses that the children still have Mana-Eating Collars ,preventing them from using their innate spirit magic. However Arc uses Uncurse to break the collars off before proceeding to use [Heal] for the children much to the elf's shock. After the children thank their saviors they leave the area to return home.

The female elf now with Arc is surprised not just by Arc's abilities but that there was a kind-hearted human like him. Though Arc merely states that he is just an example that not everyone in a species is bad. The elf thanks Arc nevertheless introducing herself as Ariane Glenys Raratoia. Likewise Arc introduces himself and Ponta to her. After Arc pilfers the money from the dead, to Ariane confusion, she uses her magic to burn the corpses demonstrating the use of elven spirit magic to the knight.

A Whisper Bird arrives and delivers a message to Ariane ordering her to meet up with Danka in town. Ariane seeing that Arc is a mercenary ask if the knight wants to be hired. Arc asks if the elf would be fine in working with someone like him, which Ariane states is fine as his spirit animal trusts him. In addition she noticed that he used teleportation magic and wants to use it to rescue her people. Not only that the children he saved trusted him so it's good enough for her. Arc after some consideration accepts the offer in what would be the beginning of a long journey.
