[A spellcaster, an archer, a heavily armored warrior.] In addition to this, there were miscellaneous soldiers numbering about forty, and three Charus. 】

[If you don't use all your strength, the Wind Sword will be able to slash about five times.] 】

[So, do you want to use it?] 】

The tail finger of the girl's left hand twitched slightly, but the corner of her eyes immediately swept over the companions gathered not far away. raised his eyebrows, and the thoughts in his heart changed slightly.

[Slightly...... Let's hold on a little longer. 】

The girl's knees bent slightly, and they bounced straight into the messy assembly of the soldiers like a very tight spring suddenly released. The whirlwind-wound sword made an undesirable arc, and the blood of the crimson elves splattered everywhere.

"What stinky blood."

A sword from left to right.

A sword from right to left.

A sword spun out in a semicircle.

A sword flicks off the folded line.

The crimson flower suddenly bloomed. Blood is the petals, the flesh is the calyx, the stump is the stem and leaf, and the stamen in the center is the broken sword and the exploding wind!

'Squeak! The struggling Snow Elf Berserker was hit head-on by the whirlwind of shattered steel, and flew back faster than it had come. Several slightly larger pieces pierced deep into the interior, pulling out several lines of crimson blood.

Alice didn't stop, she took a half-step forward, and with a slight twist, she dodged one of the hider's poisoned arrows. Before the snow elf she had slain had fallen, the girl's slender hand grasped the rough bone hilt.

Dodge arrows, grab swords, all in one go. Immediately-

Chop!

Crimson blood swelled, staining the girl's dress to a dark color.

The snow elves' bone swords are crudely crafted and unevenly weighted. It is impossible to use it in your hand like a normal steel sword.

But if it's just for defense, it's enough.

Alice then slowed down her attack, using the snow elves beside her as her living shield.

In her eyes, the only people who could cause her harm were the three elites of the Snow Elves. But in the current situation, the caster and the archer had to deal with the others, and the heavy warrior was not lightly wounded. Well, she will not be in danger for a while.

[Oh~ I hope you don't disappoint me. 】

The girl exhaled softly.

On the other side of the battlefield, Baimon, who had been attacked by a sneak attack, had just regained his ability to act.

"These bastards......" the Nord said through gritted teeth. As soon as he raised his hand, a sharp pain came from his shoulder. Although Charus's toxin no longer spreads, the swollen area will not disappear so quickly - the two sides of the wound were crossed twice with a knife by Chamak, who rushed to the scene. Out of it came a stinking black blood.

"Bear with me." The Redguard glanced at him, received an affirmative reply, and quickly stabbed the knife. With a twist and a pick, the irregularly shaped snow elf arrowhead was neatly removed.

"Shhhh But he finally held back and gritted his teeth to deal with his wounds.

"Can you still fight?"

"No problem!" He nodded heavily.

"Hurry up, then!" Yuga on the side suddenly shouted. Just now, a cloud of lightning-destroying construction magic exploded on his wizard's shield. The fireball he had used to fight back had clearly exploded into the air.

"I can't handle them alone!"

Before he could finish speaking, another bolt of lightning came from the other side of the shadowed area. Although she was blocked by Jamila's round shield in time, the several snow elves that pounced on her together made her scramble for a while. Later, there were many more Charus, striking the stone face with his blade-like arthropods. They swim, ready to deliver deadly venom.

Bemon clenched the bow in his hand sharply. He said in a deep voice, "Give me half a minute." ”

"Good." Chamak then turned around and cooperated with Jamila to kill a caveman who was trying to sneak attack.

The archer took a deep breath.

He pulled out a tightly wrapped bottle of brown potion from his close-fitting pocket. After hesitating for a moment, he finally drank a third of the amount with his eyes closed. And when he opened his eyes, the darkness in his eyes became invisible.

Compound Elixir: Shimmer Eagle Eye, which allows the shooter to have full combat ability even in dim conditions.

This auxiliary elixir is extremely expensive, and even a low-grade product with a very short onset of action requires at least three hundred cyptin, which is equivalent to a well-made steel full body armor, or the expenses of an ordinary wealthy family for two years. And it's still priceless - it took a lot of effort for Baimon to get a bottle from the alchemist with whom he had managed to get a relationship, and now is the time to use it.

He picked up his feathered arrow and wrapped the already taut bowstring around the end of the arrow twice. And when he pulled the bow away, a huge torsion tormented his fingers.

If you shoot the caster of the Snow Elf with this arrow, you will be able to smash half of its body in one go.

However, at such a great price, Bymon longs for revenge.

………………

'Goo-!! ’

A scream came from the shadows. And the cold arrow that kept harassing the two teams also came to an abrupt end. All the snow elves' movements were slowed down by this, obviously shocked by this.

The hider is dead!

But that's not the end. The second arrow shot out from behind the dark elf's giant shield in an instant, and slammed into the caster!

However, this is not a raid after all. The power of this second arrow is far inferior to that of the first arrow. This gave the snow elf a gap in the darkness to open its shield and keep the arrow out.

But it is naturally impossible for a snow elf without vision to think that this second arrow is a tracer arrow.

And the crimson brilliance of the arrow's burst was enough to illuminate its path of death.

This brilliance may only shine for a short time. But even in less than a second, it was enough for the Redguard Chamak to rush in front of it and deliver a fatal blow to its neck.

At the same time, a swirling red fireball shot out from the end of Yuga's staff, striking the back of the Snow Elf Berserker who threatened Alice.

Immediately afterward, the flames exploded.

The girl of Sirodiel, who has a lot of snow spirits and flexible flesh shields, naturally has nothing to do. But being caught off guard by a heavy armor warrior is not so pleasant. It had a bowl-sized wound burning on its back, and the blood scars that had not been able to fully coagulate by the high temperature poured out black and red blood.

It let out a high-pitched scream.

To make matters worse, however, the glue used to bind the carapace armor to the carapace had cracked in the heat and explosion. Several pieces of armor that protected important locations had fallen off, and the rest was crumbling.

Thank you for your attention. 】

Alice stepped forward.

She moved so fast that it might not take her time to blink an eye before she cut through the many fleshy shields that stood between her and the Snow Elf Berserker like a gust of wind. Then, with his left hand, he had been free, removed another sword that was stuck in the ground from a dead body......

…… Chop!

Chop Chop!

Fourteen puffs of blood erupted from the body of the heavily armored warrior. It was almost pushed by Alice and cut fifteen feet away! And when the final blow fell, the body, which had been dead in retreat, could no longer maintain its structure. With a bang, it shattered into hundreds of pieces of meat.

And the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers naturally have nothing to worry about.

…………………… Half an hour later.

"Cheers to our victory!" Baimon raised his glass and spoke loudly before the campfire.

He played quite a role in this fight. He paid the most price, and now, his voice is also the loudest.

All the snow elves in the lair have been exterminated. Their heads were chopped off one by one. According to the important process, dù are arranged in strings and tied with rope. This is a remarkable feat, and even if it is not used to exchange gratuities with the territory that issued the Snow Elf Kill Order, hanging them on the carriage will save a lot of trouble.

Other than that, all that's left is the bits and pieces of loot. Chamak's looting abilities are indeed worthy of his adventures. He was always able to easily scout the camouflage and traps of these cavemen, and turn out all the treasures of the snow elves from their hidden places. Except for those worthless bones, dried meat, old books, and tattered clothes, this time the harvest was quite rich.

Colorful gems, rare alchemy materials, precious minerals, refined insect venom, sharp swords, and a lot of gold coins. Everyone has one or two things that they expect. And right away, it's time to distribute the loot.

"Speaking of which, these monsters are really hard to deal with. If I hadn't prepared a bottle of alchemy potion worth a thousand cyptin in advance, we might not have been able to go so smoothly this time. Baimon sighed. He bites the words 'a thousand Septins'.

"Hey, that only shows that you're not good at it." Yuga sneered and said, "This is the first time I've seen an archer who has been successfully attacked by an archer in battle. ”

"If the wizards on my team know how to unleash even the lowest level of life vision, then my skills are really not very good." Baimeng raised his eyebrows and said defiantly, "It's a pity that someone's [mid-level] wizard status seems to be a bit watery. ”

"Hmph, your voice can only show your ignorance of the arcane." Yuga tilted his head slightly. "It's useless for you to ask for those alchemy materials, so I'll take them."

It seems like a retreat. Bymon smirked and didn't speak.

And no one else objected.

Jamila glanced at the others, saw that no one was going to answer, and said, "I'm interested in those gems." ”

"Worm oil really needs to be replenished." Chamak said.

Bymon reached out and tossed the shimmering pieces of ore. In his experience, there should be a significant amount of Mithril in it. Enough to refine his shortbow one more time.

Quinn's lips twitched, and he glanced at the pile of gold coins. But in the end, nothing was said.

Alice, on the other hand, picked up the sword. It was supposed to be a genuine high-spirited creation, richly decorated and beautifully carved. Made of copper and gold, and also mixed with trace amounts of Mithril. It looks pretty nice.

"Then, this sword is mine."

However, just then, Yuga interrupted her. "Please wait a minute, Miss Alice."

"Huh?"

The young wizard had a friendly smile on his face that didn't match his face at all, and said, "The contemptible people are also quite interested in the casting techniques of the high elves. You might be willing to switch to something else? ”

"Hey, you're going too far." Jamila exclaimed in disgrief. "One person can't hold two things."

Yuga ignored her and just squinted at Alice. He said, "That berserker of the snow elves, you can't win alone." I've got you covered...... Of course, I wouldn't be okay if you think it doesn't matter. After all, people are selfish. ”

He seemed to be convinced that Alice wouldn't do anything to him. Because according to his previous observations, this Sirodil girl is not a character who likes to argue with people. And the previous temptations seem to be strong evidence.

"Beat around the bush." A smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of the girl's mouth.

She whispered, "What do you want?" ”

"I just want to make friends." Yuga laughed and said, "Your tricks at manipulating metal don't seem very mature. As a friend, I should be able to help you perfect it. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Trust my abilities."

The girl sighed softly. The fingers gripping the hilt of the sword tightened one by one.

"You...... Thought you were something? ”
