Chapter 3 The Line Between Life and Death

"Hope ......"

Emilia didn't understand what Evelyn meant.

Sou!

"Uh......"

An arrow flew out from behind Emilia, and Evelyn groaned, and as the arrow pierced her knee, she fell to her knees.

Emilia's blade was infused with the power of fire, and at this moment, Evelyn's internal organs were so damaged that she could barely resist.

"Olivia! You're ......"

Emilia stopped talking, and finally glared at the man behind her, who was still holding her bow.

Olivia looked a little aggrieved: "Captain, she'...... She's wanted!"

Emilia shook her head in silence before walking over to Evelyn.

"I ..... Call..... Call...... I can't...... No...... Die here......"

The dying female elf struggled to grasp the hilt of the sword of "Starlight", and because of the force, several green tendons almost protruded on her forehead!

This sight made Emilia and the others shudder - what else did the scarred female elf in front of her want to do!?

Evelyn roared, and the blade once again burst out with a strong blue light, and the blood adhered to her hand flowed down the hilt of the sword, and the air surrounding the blade continued to roll out of the frost!

A few steps away from Evelyn, Emilia could clearly see that the elf in front of her was constantly producing frost, from the hilt of her sword to her hands, to her arms, and then to the wound in her abdomen......

Blood magic!With the artifact as the carrier, the move of using one's own blood to launch magic is similar to sacrifice, that is, it is similar to the principle of the soul contract of the legendary world-destroying demon Dala, and the power of blood magic is directly related to the purity of the blood, so most blood magicians will use the essence blood of other creatures to launch magic. This type of magic has been rare since the Third Age, and is widely regarded by the magicians of the Origin as a dirty and evil method.

"Blood magic?"

Emilia had seen records of blood magic in Aqua, and couldn't tell if what Evelyn was unleashing was an evil spell that the books couldn't avoid.

"Ahhh......h

The froststorm almost enveloped Evelyn's body, and Evelyn wailed heartbreakingly as the blood flowed, apparently in great pain.

"Be careful!"

Emilia understands that whether or not it is blood magic that is being unleashed in front of her, it is not good to deal with it. The force of the storm made it difficult to stand still, and even from a distance, it could feel the biting cold.

"What is this?!"

"I can't aim at her!"

"Damn it!"

Sophia and the others all raised their arms to cover their faces and hunched over in a defensive posture. Emilia held on and didn't retreat, her hands glowing with fire. She knew that no matter how strong Evelyn was, the excessive injuries and the loss of essence and blood would definitely be Evelyn's last hand. In any case, it cannot be achieved at this time, and the task must be completed.

Evelyn swung her starlight sword, and the storm headed straight at Emilia and the others.

A fireball erupted between Amilia's hands, and the flame vanished as a massive froststorm swept in.

At the same time, Emilia and the others were all consumed by the frost......

Call......

"Ahem... Sophia, Catherine, Olivia?"

Emilia pushed away the snow and struggled to her feet.

If it weren't for the fire elemental magic, this blow just now would probably not be more than what it is now.

Thinking of this, Emilia couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's... Here..."

Emilia followed the story, it was Olivia. Her lips were purple, and her eyebrows were covered with thick frost. The physique of the Dikan people is indeed strong, and Olivia has just been promoted to the Silver Wing Guard, although he has a genuine name, he is still just an apprentice after all. At this moment, Sophia and Catherine may have fainted, but the young warrior of the Digan tribe was only incapacitated.

Emilia quickly cut through the ice and snow attached to Olivia, and used the flames to slightly raise the temperature of her armor so that she could regain her mobility faster.

"You're here, understand?"

"It's okay, I... I'll do it right away..."

"No problem, just find them both quickly!"

"Then Evelyn..."

"I'm going to chase it, and she can't go too far. You just stay here and take care of them!"

Judging by the marks and blood stains on the ground, Evelyn eventually walked into the Afterglow Forest. Emilia doesn't let newcomers take risks, especially the Digans.

Since King Acklin's accident, the elves who came with Angelina with the queen have not had a good time.

Atlantis doesn't actually accept the existence of elves. Fortunately, King Acklin first made a public statement in his desire for racial integration, and then the Silverwing Guards helped in the war against the Northern Fortress to win some honor, which is why they were not too involved in this matter.

In the City of Kings, honor is everything.

In this mission, three of the four people who were hunted down were elves and one was a Digan. Whether it is completed or not, if it happens that this Di Gan person does not go back in the end, I am afraid that the elf will once again be pushed to the forefront of public opinion in Yacheng.

These things have never been unimaginable in the colony of the Star Elves.

Emilia thought so, picked up the sword on the ground, searched for traces on the ground, and resolutely chased into the Afterglow Forest.

The Forest of Afterglow has been around much longer than Atlantis. This forbidden place of the Diqian people is also strange to the elves who have lived in the forest for a long time. Compared to the White Forests where the Starlight Elves live, the trees in the Afterglow Forest are much older and more luxuriant. It takes a few people to wrap around the trunk of a tree, bend the cane that extends over the coiled stem, and the canopy dense enough to shade the sun......

Evelyn staggered with a cloak in her left hand and a cane in her right hand. His deep features were tired, and blood was constantly flowing from the wound on his abdomen.

Evelyn's vision gradually blurred, and the blood magic just now had almost exhausted the last of her strength, and she had no time to care about the blood stains and footprints on the ground. However, this forest is far away and mysterious, and it is unknown where it leads.

"Princess Angelina Bless ......"

Evelyn prayed in her heart, and just like that, she didn't know how long she had walked, and she didn't know how long she would be able to walk.

"Rustling ......"

There was a strange noise all around.

The Afterglow Forest is mysterious to all the races of the Eastern Continent, and there are no books or anything else that records what actually exists within it.

Rustling...... Rustling......

The voices grew louder and louder, and Evelyn realized that she was surrounded. She stopped, exhausted, barely able to hold the starlight, and let the tip of her sword hit the ground, waiting for the uninvited guest to arrive.

Swish!

Several arm-thick rattans burst out of the grass, and Evelyn swung her sword with all her might, severing a few. As if sensing pain, the vines trembled in the air and shrank back into the grass, and then more vines rushed out and wrapped around Evelyn's legs.

Evelyn was overwhelmed, cutting and slashing, and getting entangled.

After touching Evelyn's body, soft thorns sprouted from the vines, piercing through the armor of her legs and into the flesh. What followed was a feeling of complete paralysis.

Evelyn only felt the numbness extending from her calves, and she no longer had the strength to struggle, and her whole body went limp. The voice choked in his throat, and he couldn't get it out, and the arms that were wrapped around his chest at the end felt more and more weak.

"Let's see, what is this poor little animal......"

The old voice was a little hazy to Evelyn's ears, and the toxins were almost all over her body.

"Oh...... It's a female elf......"

"We miss the taste of flesh ......"

The sound came from the roots of the tangled rattans, slow and heavy, and it looked very old. They are humanoid monsters, covered in dead branches and vines. Its facial features look very blurry, and it seems to be funny, but at the moment, it adds a bit of horror.

"Look...... A female elf ......"

"It's ...... Fresh....... Beautiful ......"

Several monsters surrounded Evelyn, and a dark liquid as thick as resin slowly flowed from their mouths, dripping onto the female elf beneath her feet.

Let go......

Evelyn's voice only swirled in her head, and she didn't know if she had spoken. At this moment, all her senses began to fade away......
