Chapter 12: Alice and Elias
"Alright...... Alice, the demon king full of filth, remember to remind Ruka to try not to use this power again in the future. β
It was a woman with blonde hair, a white dress, and a red jewel on her forehead.
She has angelic wings representing holiness on her back, and her body is full of divine aura.
"You don't need to be reminded, Goddess Elias!" Alice gave Elias an unhappy look, then picked up Ruka on the ground.
"Even if you come to this world, you are still on the opposite side of mankind!"
In the face of Elias's ridicule, Alice retorted, "This time Yu is only on the opposite side of humanity, not Ruka."
"Without the constraints of responsibility, I believe that this time, Yu can provide absolute protection on his growth path. It's you, Elias! β
Alice changed her words and scolded angrily: "If you hadn't stopped Yu just now, Yu would have punched this guy a long time ago, and Ruka wouldn't have become like this at all."
"Oh......" Illiath's body gradually blurred, and after a meaningful oh, he said, "I just want Ruka to understand who his real enemy is."
With that, her phantom vanished completely.
Holding Ruka in her arms, Alice also left the place. The wrinkled woman was transformed into a stone statue and lay on the ground with a satisfied smile on her face.
Perhaps, before she died, she thought that she had eliminated the hidden threat.
"Here it is...... I remember if I wasn't stunned by the guy with the spider martial spirit, with his eyes? β
Waking up from the blanket with his head covered, Ruka found himself inside a tent.
"Forget it, my body is still very weak now, let's meditate to recover my strength."
Sitting on the blanket with his legs crossed, the soul power on Ruka's body was slowly recovering from meditation.
During the meditation, the four elemental orbs emerged in the dark space.
The fire orbs and water orbs with darker colors are still as quiet as ever. The Earth Elemental Ball, which is usually dull, is running after the Wind Elemental Ball.
Sometimes, Ruka is really a little suspicious that his martial soul is composed of four elves with different personalities.
Alice brought a bowl of hot broth and walked into the tent. Seeing that Ruka was still meditating with her eyes closed, she was too embarrassed to disturb him, so she simply put the broth next to her and found a curly tail to sit down.
"It smells so good!"
When his soul power was halfway restored, Ruka was interrupted by the aroma of broth, but a demon with a human face and a snake body suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him stunned directly.
"Are you...... Sister Alice! Looking at the yellow pupils and the long white hair, Ruka recognized her at a glance.
"Hey...... Little ghost, I'm afraid you didn't recognize the wrong person? Yu's full name may be Alice Fyeth Fiitalu, but Yu doesn't know you at all. β
"What a long name!"
"Of course, you can be shortened to Alice if you are too long."
Alice smiled softly, "Okay, let's drink this broth quickly." If it's cold, it won't taste good. β
Drinking the hot broth, Ruka felt his stomach warmer up.
"It tastes good...... Did you make it yourself? β
"When...... Of course, Yu did it himself. Alice replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.
"I'm telling you, the next time you make it, remember to cook it over low heat, and then put it in more...... By doing so, the broth will taste better. β
"Got it."
Chef Ruka said so much, Alice naturally didn't listen. She was able to make those charcoal-tasting cookies for a reason.
"I almost forgot, in a day or two, Teacher Elilulu will be coming to pick me up, I have to go back now."
"Wait a minute!"
Alice's thick tail wrapped around Ruka's body and pulled him in front of her.
"Just finished drinking the broth that Yu made, and you want to leave?"
Ruka begged, "Sister, you want me to stay with you, I can ask Teacher Elilulu for leave again." If I was late, I was punished very severely. β
"I said don't call my sister, just call Alice Yu." Alice's tail wrapped tighter.
"You look noticeably older than I am...... It is very rude to call an elder by his first name. β
"The most basic cultivation required for soul beasts to form a human being is 100,000 years, how old do you think I am?"
"You're a soul beast?"
"Can't you see it?"
Knowing that Alice was a soul beast with a life limit of more than 100,000 years, Ruka had already thought about the whole process of coming here.
"Thank you for saving me...... But Alice, I have some things in the academy, and when I deal with these things, I will be with you for as long as you want me to be with you. I, Ruka, will never break my word! β
Hearing Ruka's words, Alice was shocked, but she quickly reacted.
"Of course you can, but only if you can beat me."
"What?"
Seeing Ruka's frowning appearance, Alice's tail let go of him and added, "If you don't even have the courage to face me, then you are ready to be my servant for the rest of your life."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Alice could hear the hesitation in Ruka's voice, and she responded, "Follow me."
The two came to a clearing not far from the tent.
In order to get the most out of Ruka, Alice handed Ruka an ordinary longsword.
"Roar of the Wind!"
As soon as the battle began, Ruka showed his first soul skill, and the sword in his hand also took on a fighting posture.
A wind field made up of fierce winds protects Ruka.
"Silver's Wind Elemental Skill is really nostalgic!"
"Instant Sword, Wind and Thunder!"
Unleashing the Wind Attribute Sword Technique, Ruka's speed was fast enough for him to turn into a phantom and attack Alice.
"It seems that what I taught is already engraved in your soul!" After complimenting Ruka inwardly, Alice suddenly disappeared when he was about to slash at the sword.
This is the first time that Ruka's wind-attribute sword skill has been dodged so far.
"She's so much faster than I am, and it looks like she's going to have to try her luck with power."
The wind elemental orb is expelled from the body, and the earth elemental orb is fused into the body.
"Noam's earth element skill is not only an increase in strength and defense, but the effect that ordinary physical attacks cannot break through the defense is enough to make ordinary strong attack soul masters helpless."
Alice continued to evaluate the soul skills that Ruka had performed.
"Bad Axe, Mountain Strikes!"
Without sparing any effort, the brown light flowed from the sword, and Ruka jumped down from the tree and slashed at Alice.
Alice didn't dodge either, clenching her black glove-clad fingers and confronting Ruka's sword.
"Bang!"
The two powerful forces collided violently in mid-air, and the qi waves formed by them were directly transmitted to a range of several hundred meters.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Alice increased her strength and sent Ruka flying. Compared to speed, more than strength, Alice beats Ruka!
