Chapter 531: Retreat with Victory

The Flame Sword split through the barrier of Corlius and pierced through Siga's body, and the power of the Heavenly Fire swept across the land. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the tornado of flames entangled around the crystal-red blade did not disperse, the land of Chief Satie began to turn red, and the surrounding snowfields were rapidly fading as if they were afraid of this force.

It was the strongest blow that Mespier and Linda could do, and probably the strongest blow in the Aurora world, mercilessly burying the Storm King Siga Needlewood.

Wow -

Linda reluctantly pulled out the blade that pierced into Siga's body, and the mere sight of its crystalline blade condensed from heavenly fire sent chills to me.

There was a burning sensation in the shoulder, and the experience of being pierced by a sword of Mespil was still vivid.

That primitive, chaotic, unreasonable, pure power left a heavy deterrent in my heart that still makes me shudder today.

The King of Saty, who was lying on the ground, was completely silent, and no magic was felt from him at all.

With Siga, the entire battlefield gradually quieted down.

This result was undoubtedly unexpected for the Satie chiefs.

They never imagined that their king would be defeated by the elves of the Dawn Mountains in their own land.

Whew――

The Elven King floated down from the sky with a levitation spell and landed beside Linda, reaching out and patting his wife on the shoulder.

Linda didn't seem to recover from the blow she had just made, and the girl clutched the Flame Sword tightly and exhaled heavily, as overwhelmed as a recruit who had killed an enemy for the first time on the battlefield.

Wow~

Not far from them, a flash of golden magic burst out, forming a large elf.

and Liu Xiao, the girl who was protected in the arms of the big man.

The girl never seemed to lose my coordinates with Ellie, waving at us as soon as she came out of the teleportation magic.

"Huh-"

Linda let out a long breath and used her magic to disarm the Skyfire, and the whirlwind of flames around her and Mespil sparsely rose into the sky before falling headlong down the Flame Sword.

"Farewell, Siga"

The eldest girl also said goodbye to her opponent in the same tone as Mespier.

Wait a minute.

"Linda, should you two ......?"

When Mespier and Linda used this tactic before, Linda was not able to fully control the Flame Sword, but now she is able to control its form.

There is only one explanation for this - the soul link between Maispear and Linda has reached a point of great unity.

And Linda's tone that resembles Meispier's just now must be because of this reason.

"Brother, there's no time to worry about this"

Liu Xiao pointed to the sky, the blue-green magic array was still hanging in the clouds, and the battle was not over yet.

"...... this?"

Elle seemed to notice something, and the little one jumped off my shoulder, walked over to Siga's side, and bent down to take something out from under the enemy's armor.

Grey stone carved into a crown...... But more than that, it is wrapped in many things that look like silk threads, but they are not ordinary silk threads.

Those black-and-red lines have a lot of magic in them...... The magic of dragons.

"Looks like this is what we're looking for."

The holy relics that Kagantu asked me and Elle to find are now in our hands, but they are not as happy as they imagined.

"What are you looking for?"

Mespier didn't understand how much this filth meant to me and Ellie, no, to the entire Dawn Mountains.

"By the way, Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Elven King, why did you teleport over with the whole army, are you going to leave the cavemen alone?"

Messpear frowned, obviously not liking to hear my question.

"No matter how many cavemen there are, it is impossible to capture the Dawn Mountains in a few days, but Princess Eliheranna and Princess Timia have only one life."

Oh, it's rare that Mespier could say something like that.

Although I know that this is due to the negative effects caused by the assimilation of Linda's soul, I still don't complain.

In addition, the Elf King didn't mention my life at all, so I won't complain about this.

Huwu Wuwu -

There was a continuous sound in the sky, as if something was disappearing, giving the impression that the clouds were participating.

The Great Magic Circle...... Disappeared?

It's like pouring a basin of water on top of a watercolor painting, and it gradually disappears from the sky.

Wow -

A gust of wind poured out from in front of us, and someone had unleashed teleportation magic.

"Corlius!"

Elle was so frightened that she turned around and jumped up, hiding behind my back.

However, contrary to all of us, Corlius did not release any magic.

Didn't even look us in the eye.

The Satie sheikh just stared at his king, and then fell to his knees.

Oh...... The chief prince of Saty, Corlius, that is to say, the man who now lies in front of him and is killed by the fire of heaven, is the father of Corlius.

The elven prince lowered his head and put his hands on the ground weakly, as if he was sobbing, but he could not hear any sound.

But one thing is certain...... He had now lost all fighting spirit.

"What to do, captive?"

Kyle protected Liu Xiao again and again, while asking the Elf King's decision.

Indeed, killing the Elven King of Chief Satie and then taking the prince hostage would be a huge advantage in ending the war as soon as possible.

But...... What is this sense of emptiness that fills my heart?

"No"

Everyone looked at me, wondering why I had rejected Kyle's proposal, and possibly questioning why I had interjected Mespier.

"Our goal has been achieved, it's time to withdraw from the battlefield"

Mespier's gaze squinted slightly, at Elle hiding behind me, and at Timia, who was holding me in my arms.

Elle replied to Mespier with a rhetorical look, as if to imply that she didn't know anything.

"Issadour is right"

The Elven King agreed to my suggestion without much thought, but I am sure that he had more depth of consideration than I did, and that the Elven King had always had a visionary.

"Kyle, gather your forces and retreat to the nearest portal, now is the best time"

The big man in the golden armor looked at Chief Satie, who was in front of us, close to us, and then at Mespil.

"Got it"

Hmmm――

In a flash of golden light, the Elven King's herald flashed back to his post.

Mespil may be right, and before the grief of the Satie chieftains turns to vengeful fury, fleeing the land may be the best strategy.

After all, the troops brought by the Elven King were far from being able to compete with the Satie chieftains in terms of numbers.

But I have a different reason.

"Mespier, can I ask you for something?"

There was a hint of urgency in the Elven King's eyes, something I had never seen in Mespil's eyes.

"Say it"

I leaned in to Mespil and whispered a few words to the Elven King.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded.

"No, don't!"

Ellie jumped out from behind me like a grumpy little girl and grabbed me by the head.

"I'm with the imps"

"Ai ......"

I was about to contradict the little one, but when I saw Ellie's angry eyes, I knew I had no chance of winning.

"Then please, Elven King"

I glanced back at Liu Xiao, this girl didn't seem to react at once, but the genius girl immediately understood my intention after thinking for a second.

"Hmph, I've already saved you two anyway, and I'm going to leave you alone anymore, I'm going back to the Dawn Mountains with Mespil"

Although the tone was still emotional, the hint of hesitation in the girl's eyes did not escape my eyes.

Liu Xiao's heart was also touched by the battle just now.

Although it wasn't because of Siga and Corlius......

But now that I don't have the energy to take care of Liu Xiao, Elle and I have more important things to accomplish.

"So"

Maispear grabbed me by the shoulders with one hand, and Princess Timia in my arms with the other, and unleashed a teleportation spell.
