Chapter 2: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

The edge of the Afterglow Forest is covered with snow and the pale of the lawns. Many times, because of the different choices, the person who is most familiar with it will also end up on the opposite side.

The vast plains are so quiet that only the sound of the wind can be heard.

The elves are not as eager to fight as the Dig. The Dikan people always say that elves are not easy to get along with, because they are too obsessed with appreciating the passage of time, as if all emotions are as plain as flowing water. On the contrary, if it were not for force majeure, the elves would have chosen all means to avoid fighting, not only because it didn't matter if it was a dispute, but also because it was always accompanied by injury or even death.

Even though the two sides have opened up their positions and are ready to attack, they have not made a move for a long time. Facing the battle between the strongest Silver Wing guards under the Dragon Knights of the Eastern Continent, as a newcomer to this elite team, Olivia stood aside and almost held his breath.

"I'm attacking head-on, Sophia restricts her movement with ice arrows, and Catherine waits for an opportunity to sneak attack!"

Emilia is a qualified leader, and the short words have put the members of this three-person team in the positions they do best. Moreover, the opponent was the most talented magic swordsman in the history of the Star Elf Clan, and Emilia did not leave the slightest room for it. This kind of tactics is difficult for any opponent to deal with, not to mention the current situation of three against one.

Emilia bore the brunt of the attack, already rushing towards Evelyn with her sword in hand. The moment the blades of the two sides touched, Sophia's arrow flew from the dead end.

Evelyn leaps sideways to dodge the ice arrows, but Emilia's blade overwhelms hers. Evelyn kicks Emilia away in the air, and both of them fall to the ground.

Without a moment of respite, Catherine's short blade was only a fraction of a second away from Evelyn's eyes!

Bite!

There was a crunch. I saw an ice barrier appear in front of Evelyn, who had fallen to the ground, and Catherine's attack was hindered by this barrier.

Catherine tried to pull out the Short Blade, but was surprised to find that the Twin Blades were not moving, and were even sinking deeper and deeper into the barrier.

"Get out of her!"

Emilia exclaimed, and Catherine did not hesitate to give up her weapon and retreat a few meters.

In the next second, the ice barrier turned to powder, and with it, the two short blades were destroyed.

The Demon Swordsman's ice spell. This can almost be said to be a special ability of the elves. Such powerful elemental magic can only be performed by an extremely talented elf. If Evelyn still has any advantages, it is that among all the people present, her ice spell is the strongest, and at this moment, she occupies a favorable position. Maybe that's all she stakes.

Evelyn got up and took two heavy breaths. Although the battle just now was short, it was full of dangers, and if the final blow was not delivered by the junior Catherine but Emilia, it was indeed difficult to guarantee that the level of magic would be able to withstand it.

"Evelyn, you can't fight us with one hand. ”

Emilia noticed that Evelyn's left hand, hidden in her cloak, seemed to be holding something all along, and she had been deliberately avoiding that position during the previous battle.

The regent ordered Evelyn and a "thing" to be brought back, and that was supposed to be it.

Evelyn looked around with her head down, and the three were ready for the next attack. And she was being surrounded in the middle. Indeed, as Emilia said, one hand is completely unable to resist such a dense and well-coordinated attack.

"Hey...... Princess Angelina, bless you!"

Evelyn sighed softly, ripped off her cloak and carefully wrapped the "thing" she was holding in her arms and placed it on the ground, then chanted a spell and stuck the starlight sword on the ground next to the thing. The moment her hand left the hilt, the starlight glowed with a dazzling blue light, forming a shield visible to the naked eye, creating a spherical shield.

It must be the one! The Lord Regent ordered that Evelyn be killed to get it back!

Everyone realized the importance of the "thing" on the ground, which of course meant that all of Evelyn's next actions would not be too far from the stars. Once outside a certain range, the magic she casts will become invalid.

Onslaught on Evelyn.

This was almost everyone's first reaction, and since Evelyn wasn't going to leave that range, she had to respond to any attack. Obviously, defensive battles are the most physically demanding, and with three against one, Evelyn's loss is only a matter of time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sofia went on the offensive first. As far as archers are concerned, the elves have an unmatched talent for shooting. As the leader of the elven archers, Sophia has the ability to use bows and arrows to release elemental magic.

Three ice arrows cause a blizzard, forming a giant icicle that heads straight towards Evelyn.

Dangdang!

Evelyn volleyed out two ice swords in the air to block Sophia's attack! Then she threw the ice sword at Catherine with her right hand, and at the same time took out an ice sword and rushed towards Sophia!

"Ahh

With a scream, Sophia was kicked to the ground by Evelyn. Emilia's attack then arrived, and Evelyn swirled on the spot, her two ice swords driving the air into a circle of ice, forcing the former to retract her attack to avoid the sharp blades.

Without Evelyn's respite, Catherine, who had avoided the previous attack, drew her long sword at her waist and rushed to the former's side, slashing off the ice sword that Evelyn had swung for defense.

For a split second, Evelyn's right arm was paralyzed by electricity and dulled - Catherine used a lightning spell.

"Poof. ”

There was a muffled sound, the sound of flesh being cut by a sharp weapon. Emilia's blade had pierced Evelyn's abdomen. The latter didn't care about the pain, his hands were spread out, and a violent ice mist suddenly rose around his body, repelling the two who were flanked.

Olivia, who was standing on the side, was dumbfounded, although he had been with several elves in front of him for nearly two years, it was the first time he had seen such a shocking battle. Most of the Digans are not good at using elemental magic, and although the elves have taught them how to use it, the Digans do lack the talent for magic.

The female elf knelt on one knee, and her already white face looked even whiter at the moment. The blue blood of the elves was gurgling down the long sword stuck in the abdomen, and the battle was probably nearing its end.

Emilia stood up and wiped the blood from her face—it was clear that the blow was almost Evelyn's last blow, and Emilia and Catherine's silver armor was covered in frost.

"That's why I said, even if it's you, one against three...... It's not going to work. ”

Emilia still didn't want to end the hunt with the most unacceptable result, after all, the final purpose of the regent's order was only to "bring back that thing", and Evelyn could not die, and it was decent to end here.

"That thing.... What is it that deserves your desperate efforts?"

Evelyn straightened up, then clenched her teeth and pulled out the sword that pierced her abdomen. The whole process was very difficult, especially the moment the sword left her body, and Evelyn almost fainted from the pain.

Seeing the female elf in front of her holding the long sword inserted in the ground with the starlight gradually fading, she stood up tremblingly, especially Olivia, her heart was full of shock.

The people of Atlantis have never lacked heroes and warriors. This was the case before the Elves arrived, and it was the case afterward. However, even if they were Digan people who advocated fighting, if they didn't believe in something in their hearts, they wouldn't have fought to such an extent for no reason.

Evelyn held the star and tried to adjust her breathing, one hand holding her sword and the other covering her bleeding wound, just standing straight in front of the "thing" wrapped in her cloak.

What is it that deserves your desperate efforts?

"Evelyn, promise me to take him out of Atlantis, and you must protect him......! He's ......"

Evelyn's eyes were extremely determined, and at this moment, this already scarred female elf was as awe-inspiring as the god of war. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she looked firmly at the commanding heights of Atlantis City in the distance—the top of the Dragon Knights.

"Hopefully. ”

Evelyn said.
