39, Curse
The blue-haired teenager was running in the already empty streets, he wasn't running in the direction of the shelter. Rather, it headed for the sound of the explosion of the battle that seemed to be nothing.
The blue-haired boy is naturally the Five Rivers Shidao. He couldn't care less about the infinite fatigue coming from his feet and the pain of concussion from his already injured internal organs.
Recalling the heart-wrenching face of the second leaf, Shido really didn't allow himself to stop and rest, even if it was just for a minute.
Probably because of the similar body size, Futaba reminds Shido of Shiitono, (Futaba: similar body type...... Bite you!) When he met him, Shiito Na's appearance of being alone and unwilling to hurt them from the AST made Shidao's heart cramp inexplicably.
Shidao made a pact with the other elves that he would never let them continue to suffer. And the two elves of Erye and Crazy Three have always rejected themselves and endured everything alone.
He knew he couldn't be great enough to change the world, but even if the whole world regarded the elves as enemies, he would be one of those who gave them tenderness.
"Futaba... Wait for me. As if to make a pact with a young elf in the distance, Shido murmured silently.

"Scholar, scholar...... Listen... Do you get it?" The sound of the piano came from the headset intermittently.
"Phew, ha...... What's wrong?" Shidao asked, leaning against the wall with one hand and pressing the headphones with the other. He's already around the corner where he can hear the explosion very clearly.,As long as it's a little bit in the past, it should be the place where Futaba and AST fight.。 The cacophony of the fight made it impossible for him to hear the words very clearly.
"I said, it's dangerous, be careful." It seemed to be disturbed by the explosion of the battle, and the signal was so poor that Shido could only hear a few words in the piano.
Just as Shido was thinking about how to approach the chaotic battle area, a figure suddenly flew out of the corner and was smashed to the ground as if it had been violently impacted.
When he saw the figure clearly, Shidao's eyes widened slightly. That's the captain of AST who he can't know, but has a two-sided relationship, Ryoko Sunsakabe.
"Hey, are you alright?!" Shidao hurriedly ran over and asked. Although I'm worried about the situation of the second leaf.,But it's not good to leave Liaozi alone.。 Anyway, Liaozi is also the boss of origami, and he has spoken to himself a few times, so it's not good to leave it alone.
There are many large and small scars on Liaozi's body, and some of those wounds are red as if they were burned, some are purple-red as if they were frostbitten, and there are many strange wounds.
Seeing these strange wounds, Shidao swallowed a mouthful of saliva in a daze before stammering and asking.
"Miss Hi-Kasakabe, are you-your wounds alright?" Although Shidao can simply bandage and treat wounds, he really doesn't know what to do about Liaozi's strange wounds. Hurriedly helped her from the not-so-clean concrete floor to the wall.
"You... You're origami... Classmates...?" Liaozi was still in pain from the wounds on his body, and he couldn't remember the name of Shidao for a while. She asked, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain.
"Hurry up and evacuate, it's dangerous here...!" Halfway through speaking, Liaozi's eyes widened. Shidao faced the wall in order to help her to the wall, and did not see what was behind him. It was a missile, flying towards the two of them from the direction of the battlefield.
"Damn...!" Although his head was about to explode due to the long-term use of the manifestation device, the sense of mission to protect civilians made Liaozi use a protective shield to cover himself and Shidao in the casual realm.
The impact of the explosion sent Shido flying, and by the time he came back to his senses, Liaozi had fallen into a coma.
Shidao was slightly stunned, the situation seemed to be different from what he expected. This was a marked departure from the previous occasions when he had encountered other elves.
"Futaba..." Looking at the direction that was hidden by a building and still fighting, Shidao muttered.
The elves are a scourge spurned by humanity, they have a sad fate and a merciful heart, but this does not hide the power they possess. The power of these calamities is definitely not something that ordinary humans can match. None of the elves Shido knew used it to hurt people, but that didn't mean that other elves wouldn't fight back against AST that kept firing at them.
Putting down the unconscious Liaozi, Shido quickens his pace to the battlefield, and he must stop her before Erye can really do anything.

"Whew." Futaba shot an arrow at Ailian, who was rushing towards her with a sword. After Ai Lian casually waved the lightsaber in her hand, she didn't continue to pursue, but smiled lightly at Erye.
Although almost all of the AST members except Ai Lian have been incapacitated by the second leaf, Ai Lian herself has not been damaged except for some loose hair. And Erye's dragon scale spirit costume has been somewhat damaged, the finger-masked bracelet set and high socks that exude spiritual power have long been unrecognizable, and the one-piece dress that was originally small has been damaged and cut, and the only thing that is still intact is the crown ornament on the head.
The spirit suit of the second leaf itself is not strong, and the defense is not very good except that the dragon scales can provide some hardness. The only threats to Elaine are those cursed arrows. And those cursed arrows are terrifying, but as long as they don't touch them, they basically don't pose any threat.
Enchantments like "Decay" require too much spiritual power, and Futaba doesn't use it often, but uses relatively simple curses such as "Freezing" and "Searing". And it's not easy for such an arrow to break Ailian's random domain, not to mention that Ailian's ability to block with weapons.
"The Inquisitor doesn't seem to be as powerful as the legend suggests." Ai Lian taunted Erye, who was already quite embarrassed. Others may not be able to do anything with such a special elf, but for Elaine, the "Inquisitor" is much easier to deal with than an elf with excellent combat ability like the "Princess".
Ignoring Ailian's taunts, Futaba condensed his spiritual power in his hand to form a small arrow, and absorbed the leaf-green light that emanated from the statue of the Virgin. He gently stabbed into his bare abdomen.
The pale green light containing spiritual power quickly spread throughout Futaba's body, and the abrasions and wounds received during the battle healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Cut." Ai Lian sneered disdainfully. Lifting the lightsaber in his hand again, he rushed towards Erye.
And it didn't distance itself as much as it used to. Futaba put his hand on the blue giant bow "True Feather" again, condensing colorful arrows and shooting towards Ailian.
Although she knows the abilities of the other party, Ai Lian is not very clear about the curse that each color represents. She didn't carelessly, and used the protective shield summoned by the multi-layered random realm to cover the arrows, and the smoke and impact of the explosion stopped Ailian's steps.
With the weapon in his hand, he waved away the smoke screen of the explosion.,Ailian, who just wanted to charge again---- saw an unexpected scene two or three steps away from the smoke screen of the "True Feather" that turned into a short bow appeared behind the bowstring.
The other party dared to hold a long-range weapon like a bow and get close to herself, which really surprised Ailian, but it was too late for her to react, and Erye had already released the bowstring in his hand. Although he barely managed to protect the key parts with weapons and random domains, the power of the shortbow's close-range shots and the arrows attached to the spiritual power knocked Ai Lian away.
