Section E: Chapter 109: Lessons Learned (Lusha)

"That...... I'd like to ask why you came to the Permafrost before—ah!"

As soon as Lusa's question was asked, Ellina didn't seem to want to waste time with her.

Her body suddenly disappeared in the red light. The next moment it flashed to the point of not knowing how far away—in the snow and fog of this concentration tonight, even the eyesighted Lusha couldn't see that far. But Darlow turned into a red ball of light and chased after him, pointing Lusa in the right direction.

She probably escaped in this way last time, right? Aya hurriedly spread her wings and rushed towards the trajectory of the light ball: if it weren't for the angelic power to protect her body, according to Lusha's weight of only fifteen kilograms, she would have been blown away by the wind all at once.

However, Lotta's originally obvious figure disappeared in high-speed flight.

Losing her tracking target, Lusha froze, and immediately began to regret whether she shouldn't have asked this question in the first place.

It must be that this issue is too sensitive, and it makes Ellina feel bad!

But...... Probably just ask her a personal question, and you'll be asked to walk away, right?

Forget it, she's gone anyway, so I'd better go back to the portal...... With only about ten minutes to spare, Lusa didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up and turned back to try to find the direction she had come.

I think it came from here...... It doesn't matter if she doesn't look around, as soon as she looks around, Lusa's sense of direction is immediately destroyed by the vast snowfield, and she hurriedly turns her body back to the opposite direction she was just facing: in her impression, she didn't turn much when chasing Lotta.

Why didn't Ellina have much hostility towards me today?Remembering the last time Masked Girl was almost insanely hostile and merciless, this time her already quite gentle and friendly attitude made Lusa really scratch her head: she remembered the pain of being pierced and bitten by the glass on the broken window frame of Ellina's flesh.

Today, her act of slicing her thighs, pinching Lusa's face, and opening portals, while revealing a similar psychotic atmosphere everywhere, is closer to a black humor that is completely unfunny and mistaken by those who inflicted it.

Allina mentioned that she wasn't in such a good mood every day.

But in Lusha's view, it refers to her mental state that is not so stable every day.

Other words...... This level is stable enough for her.

If I had ten minutes, I still had time to go to that tower and have a look...... Now that Ellina is gone, Lusa's first thought is to visit the nearby Frost City of Estine. This is a rare opportunity.

But after all, the city was a few kilometers away, and she didn't even know the exact location of Esther.

Maybe if you have more time, you can always find it in a lower place, but Lusha's current situation is completely out of step with the so-called "time and time".

It feels like a lot of things have happened at this time, and my mind is messed up...... After a slight pause, Lusha felt like she remembered something, and involuntarily touched her forehead with her hand.

Purple Curse of Solitude sigil...... Ellina had just lifted her head curtain to look at it.

She seemed to know Amrea's Locks well, at least better than Lusa.

But I didn't plan to talk to her at all.

There you have it, and the vortex is here...... With the speed of her flight, Lusa quickly spotted the teleportation vortex that Ellina had left behind—it stood there quietly and steadily, with no risk of suddenly disappearing.

The tower seemed more distant than it seemed...... You can feel it when you really start moving towards that tower.

In response, Lusha looked at her watch and had to speed up her flight to prevent a timeout.

She had eight minutes left, and time was tight.

If only I could use magic to flash and teleport or something......! Lusha thought so, struggling with whether or not to use the magic gun's teleportation energy block.

Although she struggled with it, she finally decided to give up - it was quite expensive, so she should try not to use it well. I don't have a lot of money. It's not like mages, where a short-range teleportation doesn't cost casting materials. The teleportation energy block is completely consumable, and the energy can be used a little less.

The ability of the magic spearman is, to a certain extent, a pile of money.

Nature...... Some mages have special abilities or artifacts, and long-range portals don't require casting materials such as portal runes. For example, Elina. She's probably one of the Ebon species with special teleportation magic adaptations.

Later, if I really don't have enough time, I'll use the teleportation magic to open two portals and come back into the vortex......

As she approached the Tower, Lutha involuntarily began to feel scared of another question.

What if the just El Lina was hostile?

A moment of carelessness caused Lusha to be captured by the guards with the ability to seal demons, and lost the ability to resist.

In addition to learning the lesson that you can no longer put your hand into the portal from now on, you must also think more about how to get out of trouble when you encounter an enemy who is quite capable of grappling and wearing armor that is too strong to resist various physical attacks that are too strong and cannot exert force.

In fact, the reason why she couldn't resist after being caught just now was also related to the fact that Lusha was suddenly dragged to the other side of the vortex, and she had no vision and space to react quickly.

But this situation is too dangerous. There is no guarantee that there will be no other reasons for a similar situation in the future. There must be some good way to get out of trouble.

Fortunately, Lusha has a chance to be aware of this problem, so that she will pay special attention to improving it in the future.

What should I do next time someone catches me like that?

She asked herself this question suspiciously, and for a moment she lost her mind.

In fact, this problem is very unsolvable.

This is Aya's biggest death hole. If you can't take advantage of your speed, you will be caught by the opponent and you won't be able to break free in an instant. All Eborn, who are weak and unable to break free from the capture by brute force, have this weakness, and the problems of the Ayans are even worse. In this case, the less powerful will start to make up for the sheer strength gap by other means, such as skill-inflicting pain to force the enemy to let go.

But the premise of all this is that although you have a little less strength, you are not too small.

A race like Aya, which is too weak, will not be able to get out of trouble without relying on magic and weapons. The latter is too variable to be included in the calculation. The most stable is spells.

The racial nature of Aya's magic immunity (pure magic that is immune to damage, alien status magic that acts on the flesh) ensures that as long as Lusha can use magic, she will be able to use it.

But Lusha doesn't know magic. This makes it impossible to exploit this advantage.
