Well, I finally read all of the translations of the Light novel series. And that was the real reason. Brimir did not want to exterminate the elves, he wanted to protect his people, the humans, from a terrible catastrophe - a strong charge of the mana stones (windstones), which would have turned most of Halkeginia into a second albion. And the then capital of the elves was built just above the masterstone that was responsible for charging the Windstones. Brimir was faced with the terrible choice of either wiping out half of the elven population or allowing the likely extermination of the people. But Brimir's void spell to destroy the masterstone had become self-sufficient. Sasha's act of stabbing him was an act of desperation, and almost certainly a killing on demand. Like later Louise's sacrifice. If anyone deserves the title of a saint, it's her.
