Manhwa Chapter 12

## Chapter 12: Demon

**Manhwa Chapter 12** is the twelfth chapter of the Webtoon serialization of the *FFF Trashero series*.

## Introduction

Hero Kang Han-Soo vs. Elf Princess Sylvia (Final Part).

## Summary

Han-Soo watches as the elven intruders poise their weapons/ magic at him, equally enraged by the death of their comrades by said human's hands. The teen notes how elves were easily swayed by their emotions: due to their longevity, they tend to live for centuries in close-knit communities therefore seeing themselves as a family. This was both a strength and a weakness as seeing their comrades, their "family", killed will cause them to lose their cool and cause carelessness and tunnel vision. Thanks to their focus on Han-Soo, the elves have forgotten that some Dark Commerce guards were still alive, who have blockaded the exit and begun to fight the intruders. Han-Soo cries out in alarm as the guards killing the elves made him lose out on extra experience before being interrupted by Sylvia's fire elemental attack. He notices Sylvia was growing increasingly emotionally unstable but she was still a threat due to being higher leveled then him. He pulls out the dagger he previously used, aware that he still needs to get stronger here and that he must fight seriously to the point he may lose some fingers.

... And then he actually loses a finger thanks to a sneak attack from an elf swordswoman. Enraged by the humiliation, he knocks her out before killing her, then picks up the severed digit and reattaches (heals) it right in front of the stunned Sylvia. She wonders if he was a demon but he counters that she was no better, since they both committed a massacre. Like the first round, Sylvia was the last person standing on the invaders side, but due to Han-Soo's interference, there was more casualties on the Dark Commerce's side due to negating the hostage situation that occurred the previous time thus being unable to stop Sylvia's rampage. Her killing of a lot of the guards had increased her level by 4 (284 to 288), but his killing of elves had both increase his levels drastically (164 to 203) and some of his skills (Murder **D** to **B**) plus gaining new ones (Throwing **C**, Berserk **D** and Provoke **E**). He bows, expressing his gratitude for the elf slave that became his experience for his sake, further angering Sylvia; and now he has one more exp bag to get and he won't miss this chance. In both anger and self-reproach, Sylvia declares that the both of them will die here together then calls the Earth elementals, creating an earthquake.

While the guards scramble to escape, the masked Han-Soo asks her not to cause a cave-in as this will destroy the value of Elf corpses. He tells the surprised elf of how the blood and bones of elves can be used as catalysts that hold the meaning of "eternity" and thus could be traded at high prices. She was aware of this and refuses to disregard her comrades and flee, thus her decision of turning the underground room into a tomb for them all. Han-Soo instead mocks her for that choice as she was responsible for bringing her comrades to their deaths. She instead deflects and blames him, the "demon", for ruining her rescue, believing they would have won if the masked teen wasn't there (not realizing that her force would have been wiped out anyway). He chastises her on bringing people who weren't ready to lose on her mission before taking off and discarding his mask. The earthquake suddenly stops and when the panicking Sylvia desperately tries to call the elementals again while wondering why they were protecting the "demon", Han-Soo stabs her in the stomach. He reveals himself as the Hero, not demon, to the dying collapsed elf princess as well as mocking her for not realizing how much the nature loving elementals will try to protect said Hero (whose goal is to defeat the Demon King) even over her (someone who would use her friends to kill someone else in the guise of friendship). Han-Soo then finishes by stating he hopes they don't meet a third time before stepping on the dagger, further embedding it in her stomach, killing her.
