"You ...... of soul," Salis clutched his nose and got up from the ground with a hideous expression.

He had already felt the attack, but relying on the strength of the Holy Sword Yan Yu in his hand, he didn't take the other party to heart - as a result, the defensive formation constructed by the "Red Power" had not yet had time to activate, and that kick had already surpassed his own reaction and kicked him in the nose impartially.

"How dare you treat me like that...... Even if you're an elf, I'm ......."

Thinking that he was of noble birth, and had the honor of being favored by the archmage Skasa, who is also the current speaker of parliament, and became his disciple, after the coup d'état a few months ago, his status rose even higher...... Not to mention that he has a lot of strength and ability that surpasses his peers, when has he ever been treated like this?

"Seeing that he just looks serious, is there a big contrast between the front and back?"

Ignoring Saris's threat, Io walked straight to Kaede's side, his palm pressed against Kaede's forehead, and a faint green light seeped into Kaede's body.

"Because he seems to be used to it, right? After I slapped him hard just now, Io-senpai you added fuel to the fire...... For a person like him, this first experience of humiliation can easily expose his true nature~"

Kaede glanced worriedly at Io's waist: "Your ...... Where's the bow?"

"Of course, it's ruined~ After all, it's not a first-class product, and the opponent is not the kind of enemy who can deal with it without paying something, so the bow can't be used. ”

"Then you-"

Excited, Kaede subconsciously wanted to stand up straight from the ground, but was immediately pressed by Io's shoulder.

"How much...... Give me some faith, you know, an elf, usually humans only remember her archery and her appearance...... However, they often ignore that elves have a characteristic that is very different from humans. ”

"That's age!"

Io looked disdainfully at the hideous face of Salis not far away, and the red sword in his hand.

"Take a good look, how powerless are the so-called talents, strengths, and coveted artifacts that you humans are proud of in the face of the precipitation of time, history, and time......! Hey. ”

Io's words infuriated Saris.

"Shameless guy!"

Salis couldn't understand where the confidence of the arrogant elf in front of him came from. Didn't she understand, with her weak body and ability, in front of herself and the Holy Sword Yan Yu, she was completely unafraid!

But Salis didn't plan to make any temptations - he always remembered the teacher's teachings, don't underestimate your opponents, don't play handsome, keep your hole cards, and don't do meaningless and superfluous behavior...... Although he didn't think that the elf on the other side could really hurt himself in the guard, he still chose to knock out his opponent with a thunderous force.

Salis didn't step forward with his sword.

His teacher is an archmage, and of course, what he is best at is naturally magic - although on the other hand, he has also studied the martial arts in the family, and his achievements are not low, but there is still a considerable gap compared to his magic level. In fact, even if his melee ability has been greatly improved by coming into contact with the Holy Sword, in the bottom of his heart, Salis is still more inclined to use magic, which is why he still keeps his distance from Kaede despite his advantage.

However, compared to his melee abilities, at this moment, with the blessing of the Holy Sword, Saris's magic has also become more deadly - he himself is a well-studied fire magic!

"It's flames again...... Well, it's not incomprehensible that there are so many flame-related things here because of the 'red', but as an elf, it's really ...... to see so many flames in one day."

Io frowned at Saris's act of engulfing a vast expanse of the sky in flames without hesitation - the elves subconsciously repelled fire and darkness, and if they were close friends, they could not care, but if they were enemies who maintained a hostile relationship, the elves would unabashedly express their disgust.

"Kaede, it's a rare opportunity, let me let you see the illusion skills of the elves that I inherited from my teacher and are almost unknown to outsiders!"

As if it was a slide switch, Kaede just blinked, and the scene that caught her eyes before and after the blink was completely different.

"Good...... Good abundant natural power...... And, Io senior, you ......"

For a moment, Kaede seemed to think that he was in the middle of a forest, the smell of dew dropping from the leaves and green grass in the early morning...... pinched his thigh hard, and as a result, Kaede grinned in pain - not an illusion?

"Senior...... Your hair...... Turned green?"

Kaede watched in surprise as Io's original pale yellow hair color turned emerald green - perhaps, as the darling of the forest, the elf seemed to have this hair color in the first place?

Especially now, the surrounding environment has not changed at all, but the air is filled with the incomparably rich green smell of the forest, as if this breath that is incompatible with the environment is emanating from the same emerald green figure...... No, it should be said, it was from Io!

Kaede can clearly feel that if the breath of nature is compared to the sun, then now Io is the sun that radiates sunlight!

"The power of the artifact...... Do you think it's amazing?"

In the face of the powerful flame attack, Io did not retreat at all, bent his knees slightly, and jumped up the moment the flames approached......!

- It's ridiculous!

Saris's attainments in magic are unusually high, and the high-level fire magic can be unleashed in just a second under his brewing, and with the blessing of the holy sword, its power may far exceed that of the magic of the same level, and it is probably only one step away from the high-level magic...... In the face of such a powerful magic, Io actually used his body to directly hard-connect?

From Kaede's point of view, this is a completely unreasonable act - but Io's seemingly suicidal kick has the effect that leaves Kaede dumbfounded.

"Liar...... The flames were kicked away...... No, it's cut open?"

Not far away, Salis was also shocked by the sight in front of him, but he reacted immediately, and once again released several extremely dense high-temperature flame bombs and threw them in the direction of Io, and immediately pulled away to distance himself.

"Huh, is this kind of a small method? With the help of Yan Yu's strength, can he still do this, does it seem that he still has some ability? It's just ......"

Io's figure sprinted in the direction of the bullet - when the bullet touched Io's body a meter away, the flames that shone with blazing light were extinguished in an instant...... No, it should be said that it is annihilation.

"Don't think about it. Io glanced at what was inside the flames that had been extinguished—several projectile-like balls with specially processed surfaces, "Do you think I'm going to be arrogant enough to kick these things away with my feet? When you threw out these flame bombs with different concentrations and actual densities, I already knew that you were hiding some explosive gadgets inside......"

"Damn! The flames were dispelled the moment they came into contact?Is it a secret method like forbidden demons...... "I originally thought that Io was fighting against his own magic by driving a higher level of power, but in fact, the other party is in a state close to magic immunity at this moment!" And it obviously obscured her vision, but she could still judge the abnormality of my flame bomb in the first time, what a terrible experience against the enemy......"

Salis understands that his own trick has been approved by his teacher, in terms of casting skills, to attach the flame to these projectiles in the enemy's sight and not be discovered by the other party, while maintaining the density of the surface flame so that the speed of the flame bullet and other details will not attract the attention of the enemy, its difficulty is even far beyond those high-level magic, originally Salis can only use three shots at the same time can be called "perfect" by the teacher 's flame bombs, this time, with the assistance of the holy sword Yan Yu, they exceeded their limits and used nearly a dozen rounds in a row. Theoretically, the power of the high-energy arcane explosives encased in the projectiles was enough to wipe out half of the palace entirely.

"This guy...... I'm afraid that a warrior who has experienced countless battlefields has integrated into her instinct to see through the conspiracy and tricks in the shadows, and the conspiracy tricks in battle are no longer superior or inferior to her, all of them can be seen through in an instant! Can she really be an elf who can do this level? Even an orc who worships war probably doesn't have the confidence to boast about her exploits in front of her, right? What a terrible guy......

"Yo, have you finally calmed down? That's right, if you continue to get lost in the light of a mere artifact, I can't help but kill you here...... Hawkers, although you did do something very excessive, but since Kaede was okay in the end, it was not good for me to do senseless killing as an elf. It's just that whether you will go home in a decent way or in an embarrassed way depends on how you perform in the future, right......?

Io stared into Saris's eyes, his tone warm and cold.

"The right to return triumphantly belongs only to those who have courage and will, right?"
