Manga Chapter 08

Elven Rescue Strategy II (エルフ族奪還作戦 Ⅱ) is the eighth chapter of Skeleton Knight In Another World Manga.

Summary
Marquis Diento prepares to man handle two captive elves in his bed. However before he commits to the act, he is disturbed by his aide Celsika Dourman that there are intruders in the castle. It is too late as Arc and Ariane break the door to the noble's quarters. Ariane punches the disgusting human and helps to free the enslaved elves. Uldran who was present in the room attempts to crawl away, but is caught by Arc, who smashes a fist next to the man's head, causing him to faint. To Arc's surprise his fist uncovers a hidden room. He tries to direct his comrade to his discovery but finds that she is occupied with making Diento suffer. The marquis unable to find any remorse to his actions, as he is a marquis, warns the elf that there will be consequence for her people if this is found out. The threat matters very little to Arc and Ariane as it was the nobles of the Kingdom who started the conflict that being said Ariane allows the two captive elves Diento to do as they like. Arc is a bit stunned at the level of violence the elves have, but is distracted when severl guard attempt to fight which Ariane easily defeat with fire magic.

As the elves take care of the humans, Arc and Ponta turn to plundering the hidden room which is full of treasure. When Ariane catches raiding the room, she is confused by the act but once Arc explains that humans use money that that depriving the noble of the funds will prevent the continuation of the slave trade she allows it. After the elves have sated their vengeance, Arc teleports them out of the castle before is is engulfed in a fiery explosion. Now that the mission is done and Arc has received his payment, Ariane offers him to come with her to the elf village as her people could use his strength.

Arc is concerned as he will have to meet the elders and show his face. Ariane curious as to why that would be a problem is shocked when Arc takes off his helmet, revealing his skeletal face. The elf is a bit stunned, and asks why Arc looks like an undead. Arc on the other hand decides to allow Ariane to think that his condition is a curse as he would have no way to explain that he was from another world and is in his game character. Hearing Arc tell her that it is a mystery as to why he appears like this, Ariane though is even more confused as to why she doesn't detect any negative miasma that an undead should carry. Plus a spirit creature like Ponta would never get attached to an undead. Despite his appearance Ariane still thinks Arc is a friend and promises to keep his secret, and believes that Arc's condition is a curse that the elders could undo. Arc relieved that his friend refuses to alienate him accepts her invitation to join her on her journey to their next destination.
