Chapter 33: Stalemate
All the elves watching exclaimed in unison, watching Asa be shot out of mid-air by the arrow. Only Lua reacted, turned to the female patrol and shouted, "You're mistaken." ”
"Wrong, wrong, what?" said Kalyne, stunned, staring at her.
". Where the hell are you*shooting ?, you stupid. Hilton jumped. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many elves around, he would immediately rush up and strangle the female elf there.
Asa on the ground moved, but only lifted his body a little. The power of this arrow was on par with the two-handed greatsword that Helika was infused with. If he hadn't relied on his instinct to block with a knife, he would definitely have shot his head like an egg under a heavy blow. Through the impact of the knife hitting him on the head, he now only felt dizzy, and could only listen to the wild laughter of Helika and the sound of the two-handed greatsword breaking through the air getting closer and closer.
Old man Bill hurriedly waved his staff and pointed at Helika and shouted hard, but Helika still didn't even react, but his own body fell to the ground. When it comes to the spirit and will of the two people, it is obvious that there is a world of difference.
Hilton and Jessica were about to rush inside, but the viscous air kept them from catching up anyway.
"Vine cocoon. At this time, Lua waved the leaf of the World Tree in her hand and pointed at Asa in the distance.
The black magic area around Asa suddenly spread out, and a green clearing appeared, and many rattans and thorns quickly appeared on the ground, wrapping him into a large rattan ball in an instant.
Helika though a flute. But the two-handed giant sword did not stop, and it still slashed at the rattan cocoon ball, and there was a loud pop.
The rattans flew, and the two-handed giant sword only cut into a few inches, and after chopping and chopping dozens of rattans, it could not enter again, but was bounced up.
Even the same volume of granite was absolutely shattered under this sword. But those rattans were not hard, but unusually strong, and quite elastic, and they actually completely digested the power of the mountain-splitting stones above. However, this two-handed giant sword does not have too sharp cuts, and it all relies on huge weight. It's almost a blunt weapon, and there's absolutely nothing to be done with something so tough and resilient.
Helika shouted, and raised his two-handed giant sword again, all his fighting energy condensed on it and aimed at the hollow that had been cut out. He was going to chop this rattan ball into a lump of mud mixed with meat and vines, along with the people below.
It's a pity that even when he was stunned and raised his sword again, the rattan in the ground was still growing at a crazy speed. Entangled, as if it were a snake with extreme agility. In the blink of an eye, not only the hollow that had just been cut out had healed. Even the size of the rattan balls has increased a lot. The sword of Helikadi was still slashed with rattan scattered, and a large piece of the rattan ball was dented, but it was restored in the blink of an eye.
"Don't go over, he's fine. Lua shouted to the two Hiltons, who had already rushed over. This protective magic of the elves is definitely the best protective magic when standing still, although it is a bit rigid but the effect is amazing, as long as the person who is not directly hit by some big magic is absolutely unharmed.
The two Hiltons immediately retreated. Hilton nodded to Lua in surprise and delight, and said loudly, "It's still this elf sister who is amazing." You're so pretty. But Lua didn't pay attention to him.
"Burned this thing for me. Helika turned her head and yelled madly at Isis.
"I'm struggling to hold on to this right now. Isis said weakly as he lay on the ground with the magic scroll in his hand. A few thieves were bandaging his wounds.
Lua pointed at the giant vine ball with the leaves of the World Tree as she walked forward. As soon as she approached the black magic area, the black magic fluctuations pushed away like a tide. She looked at Helika. His face was full of anger and hatred, and he shouted, "Stop struggling, surrender, evil invader." ”
Helica's eyes widened as the black area slowly dispersed as the girl approached, and yelled at Isis, "I'm fucking you, what's going on?"
"That'...... That...... It's ......" Isis didn't look at Cilika. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the elf girl who was gradually walking in. "All she has in her hand is ...... It is...... We're looking for something ...... land."
Lua, or the Leaf of the World Tree, within a radius of more than ten meters, all the black magic fluctuations were dissipating. The grass that had died in the black area was gradually regaining its vitality and standing up again. More than a dozen unicorns automatically focused around Lua and slowly walked towards the thieves.
There were already dozens of elven mages in the surrounding gathering area, and they were now chanting the elves' incantations one after another. A few dead wood guards also approached Lua's side, and a number of colorful insects emerged from the ground. The body is still growing. The distance of more than ten meters around Lua was suddenly filled with all kinds of guards. Seeing the elven girl and the group of guards approaching, the thieves' faces turned terrified. Needless to say, fighting, just getting close to the past is dead and dead.
"Stop. Helika glared at Lua and yelled, his two-handed greatsword resting on the head of an elven mage.
Lua's footsteps hesitated slightly, and as soon as Helika's hand moved, the elven mage under the two-handed giant sword screamed, and his head turned into a mass of meat sauce. The surrounding elves all screamed again. Then Helika put his sword on the head of the other elf.
"What do you want to do? I tell you, we elves are not threatened by evil people like you. Lua glared and gritted her teeth at Helika. It's a pity that no matter how vicious her appearance is, she can't catch up with a smile from Cilika.
"I've never threatened people. I only tell people about the consequences of not listening to me. Helika looked at Lua and said. "We can negotiate a deal. You can save most of the elves here. ”
Ruaji smiled and said, "Do you think you can still escape?"
"Absolutely. Don't doubt me, you're not qualified yet. Helika smiled slightly, and the scarlet tongue in her big mouth shook at Rua. It seemed like he wanted to lick her in the air. His hand pressed down slowly, and the wail of the earth elf under the sword grew louder and louder, and then abruptly stopped with the sound of Kara's skull shattering.
"I'll ask you now, do you want to talk about a deal?" Helika smiled faintly, but his smile was calm. The blood-stained two-handed greatsword was placed on the head of the next elf, and there were many elf captives here, more than a hundred were enough for him to perform slowly.
Lua's expression suddenly twisted and trembled, and she choked and said, "What deal are you going to negotiate?"
Helika nodded in satisfaction, his trick to negotiating was to show others how crazy and powerful he was. Say more and do it. As long as you destroy the opponent in mind, then all that remains is to lead the opponent away. Even so many thieves with their heads alive are being led by him, let alone these idiot-like elves.
"If we can't escape, we promise to kill all the elves we have captured here before we get killed. But we can also let go of most of the elves here and only take a dozen or so. But you'll have to trade things with me. Helika's hand pointed at Rua, and then at the rattan-wrapped ball. "Get that thing on your hands. And that person to us. ”
"Absolutely not, this is a relic of our elves......" Lua was not finished. It was interrupted by the screams of the elf who fell to the ground with Helika's sword.
Helika's experience in these areas is definitely a master. Like an artist with his own work, he mastered the strength and position with great subtlety, causing his captives to let out the most frequent and shocking screams before they died horribly. Seeing the expressions of all the elves contorted to the screams of this fellow citizen, Helika believed that the effect she wanted had been achieved.
"Beautifully elf chick. Let me start by saying that this price is already the bottom line that I can accept. It doesn't hurt for me to tell you, that's what we're here for. Helica's gaze was like an extended tentacle, sticking to all parts of Lua's face, and it roamed wetly. Hey hey, smile. "I was going to take you with me. Give you to the kings of those countries. I believe that I can also get a position as a general. He looked at Isis. "Well, my friend's spirits aren't very good, so we don't have a lot of time. ”
"From now until this chick promises us, kill one every ten minutes. Let's get started. Helika ignored Lua and turned to the thieves and waved her hand, giving orders in a loud voice. Enough for the elves to hear clearly. "Remember, if these guys make any move, they will immediately kill the elves in your hands. ”
The thieves agreed. Immediately, several thieves came and picked up Isis and began to walk outside. The other thieves followed the bundle of elven captives. As Isis moved, the black magical realm moved outward. The elves standing outside retreated.
Helika didn't even have to look back. He was sure that when it came to means, the elves were as different from him as Beamon and the rabbit. He knew he had won. Even if this elf chick didn't agree, he couldn't get that strange leaf, after all, he also got these nearly a hundred elves.
Although the old man had been tasked with getting the strange leaf, it dawned on Helika that it wasn't a must. The necromancer's promise to them was very tempting, but he had had a strange feeling since he found out that things weren't as he had hoped. He couldn't say exactly what it was like, but he always felt like something was wrong.
Maybe it's good to get these elves. For the first time in his life, Helika had such a greedy thought that he almost said he didn't want that thing anymore.
As Lua was distracted, the vine balls that enveloped Asa began to wither in the Black Realm. The withered vine ball moved, then cracked open from it, and Asa came out with a knife. The thieves carried Isis away, and the encirclement of the Black Territory and the elves moved outward. His current location is in the Elven Encirclement. Hilton and a few of them also rushed over and gathered around.
"Are you alright, Boss?" asked Hilton, looking at him in surprise and delight.
Asa smiled reluctantly, nodding his still drowsy head: "It's okay." Thank you. ”
Although he couldn't see it in the rattan ball, he could still hear and know what was going on around him. He was somewhat surprised by the anxious reaction of the Hilton and the others. Although in this forest full of elves, if you don't have yourself. Then there is a bit of a problem with the departure of a few of them, but they can be anxious for themselves, and they are still a little surprised and moved in their hearts. Especially Hilton's rectum is not about falsification, and the expression on that face will not be faked.
Lua and most of the elves were still staring at the departing thieves. Only the dozen or so elves around looked at Asa who was a little dizzy, and there was actually a lot of fear and disgust in their eyes, and they subconsciously hid. There was no doubt that it was the bloody slash just now that made them react this way. Elves have a much sharper sense of breath than humans, and their understanding is much simpler.
Among them, the female patrolman with a black bow, Kailin, was particularly disgusted with him. Asa glared at her viciously, and immediately used another healing spell on herself.
As the healing magic glowed, the look of disgust on the female patrol's face immediately turned to surprise. It's pure white magic, and there's even a faint aura in it that makes her feel close. She couldn't figure it out at all. A person who wields such a bloody and evil weapon actually uses white magic, which is actually a bit similar to the life breath of the Holy Land. It's as unbelievable as a rotting zombie spitting out holy words.
The surprised faces of the Hiltons next to him were no worse than those of the elves. Only then did they realize that this fool who had become their leader might really be unfathomable.
Not having time to pay attention to the elves' surprise, let alone explain to the novices, Asa watched the situation in the field worriedly.
There is no way that the elves will ever hand over the leaves of the World Tree. In fact, Asa and Cedros never thought that they would be able to get it from the elves by relying on these thieves, it was just a pretense. It's just a trap. But it is not a good phenomenon for the situation to remain at such a stalemate, not to mention the fate of the hundred elves for the time being. The point is that the people who should have appeared but have not yet appeared. Those guys are at the heart of this plan, and the most dangerous.
Although according to the plan, it is to make the necromancers who are about to appear aware of the existence of the Leaf Land of the World Tree. But it is so generously placed outside, if it is taken away by those guys in some way, it is really not only a chicken steal, but even the rice jar is also a mess.
Asa touched the small piece of star fragment in his arms, the one he had used to inform Cedros in an emergency. This special artifact doesn't require mana, and the same piece from Cedros reacts when it is crushed. Then he and Gru would be the first to arrive. With the two of them, the current situation is naturally hand-to-hand. Helika isn't an easy thing to deal with, but that's relative. There never seemed to be any difficult people or things to deal with in front of Gru.
Looking at the corpses of the elves, as well as the elves who had been kidnapped, Asa's fingers tightened, but he still didn't pinch them after all. If you startled the snakes, so that the necromancers, who seemed to be omniscient, noticed the existence of these two men and did not appear. Then the whole plan will be in vain.
Suddenly, several elves came surrounded by an old elven elder. Asa frowned. Strange to say, there was no other elven elder here, not even the elven elder who let Asa and them in. Only Lua, the youngest elder, is here to stand alone. But he didn't want to ask, because he knew about the situation here from Cedros, and it was easy to reveal flaws by talking casually.
An elf said to the elven elder who had arrived, "Elder Lloyd, the current situation is ...... for those invaders."
"I see. The elven elder known as Lloyd nodded, and then owed himself to the Asa and the others. "Thank you for your help, friend of Mr. Cedlos. Rest assured, we will never hand you over to these people. ”
"Of course. We're here to help. Hilton's eyes widened.
Asa frowned and winked at Hilton, then nodded to the elven elder and said, "You're welcome. In fact, we didn't handle it well, so that this situation happened. ”
"Boss, you are so polite, it's obvious that this mother-in-law is here, or you would have cut that big piece into two pieces a long time ago. She did all of this. Hilton gestured to Kaylin over there. The female patrol glared at the place.
"I'm so sorry for the recklessness of the Kailin Patrolmen. But now is not the time to talk about that. Elder Lloyd lowered his voice and asked Asa. "May I ask you, are these thieves all of them? We also noticed that a dozen or so others were coming towards here, already approaching the barrier. All of them have a very powerful aura, and the other elders are preparing to manipulate the enchantment to resist them with all their might, but I don't think it's possible to stop them. ”
"More than a dozen people?" the expression on Asa's face suddenly lost control.
"Do you know who they are?" asked Elder Lloyd, looking at Assa.
"I don't know, but it's probably not the thieves. Asa controlled his expression, but the turmoil in his heart did not stop at all. There are more than a dozen, it can't be the Necromantic Guild pouring out. If that's the case......
"Isn't it......" Elder Lloyd's eyes swept across Asa's face, nodded slightly, and turned to look at the retreating thieves. "Looks like this has to be done as soon as possible. ”
"yes. Settle it as soon as possible......" Asa said absent-mindedly, his hand reaching into his arms and crushing the little thing that was being sold. He had already noticed the strange vibration of the air coming from a distance, but he didn't notice the cold sweat on his forehead.
