The figure was a young woman who appeared to be around twenty years old.
She had a slender figure and wore light green armor. Her pale golden hair was simply tied behind her head.
And between the strands of hair, two ears that were clearly longer and sharper than a human's were plainly visible.
An elf!
Gabriel narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, it was almost exactly as he had guessed.
The young female elf reacted just as quickly.
The instant Gabriel seized her wrist, her other hand released the bowstring. She drew a short blade from her waist and thrust it directly toward his throat.
Gabriel merely tilted his head, causing the blade to pass beside his face. His hand tightened slightly.
Crack!
The arm holding the short blade instantly lost its strength. Yet no fear appeared on the female elf's face.
There was only coldness mixed with intense hostility.
"Let go of me!"
Gabriel did not answer. Nor did he kill her outright.
