Chapter 33: Defeated
Originally, the green-haired girl’s attack method was to use vine-like branches for entangling attacks.
For Elus, this kind of attack was like a walk in the park… Not to mention the slowness of plant vines compared to a tentacle monster’s attack, even if she were entangled by the vines, Elus would have nothing to worry about.
Because now, she wasn’t in a **cage anymore.
Elus could unleash her full power without any scruples, and those vines couldn’t even get close to the Black-hearted Girl before being burned to ashes by her black sword.
However…
Midway through the fierce battle, a cyan flame suddenly ignited on those dark green vines.
These flames appeared silently, and Elus was caught completely off guard… Before she could change her move, Elus was struck by a vine with blue fire.
“Elus?”
“I’m fine!”
Despite Elus saying she was fine, her black stockings on her leg were burned off by the scorching flames.
The girl’s fair skin was exposed, and not only Elus, but even the green-haired girl controlling the trees, let out an unbelievable cry:
“Lord Hoffa, why are you here? Lord Castor said I could handle this alone!!!”
“Hmph! You alone? Can challenge Elus, Lonis, and Cécile? Silent Leaf, you think too highly of yourself.”
From behind the green-haired girl, a man slowly walked out.
He wore a lacquer black suit and leather shoes, looking like a gentleman.
But his head was engulfed in flames, those azure flames were identical to the blue fire that had just attached itself to the vines.
“Lord Hoffa, you don’t understand! I have obtained new power. As long as I am on my home turf, whether it’s Elus or Lonis, they will be completely buried here!”
“Hmph, if you continue to be so headstrong, I think you’ll be the one buried here?”
“That’s not true, Lord Hoffa, just watch me!!!!!
As if her most painful spot had been poked, the green-haired girl named Silent Leaf’s expression became exceptionally ferocious.
Accompanied by the trajectory of magic power, countless leaves gathered around her… At this moment, Silent Leaf was like the center of a storm, unleashing unparalleled power.
…
“This is bad, Cécile, you take everyone and retreat first.”
“Elus?”
“I’ll cover the rear. This is an order.”
Elus frowned, holding her sword and facing the green-haired girl’s figure.
Although the storm from Silent Leaf seemed fierce, Elus stood firm like a reef, unyielding.
“Sister Cécile? Should we…”
“We can’t linger here any longer, Bai Ye, everyone, let’s retreat first!”
Although she really wanted to help Elus,
Cécile still led everyone towards the outside of the woods.
(Damn it, is this guy really this troublesome?)
If it were Elus on a normal day, she wouldn’t fear Silent Leaf at all.
Because although the opponent’s offense was fierce, it was bound to be short-lived… She was draining the magic power of this forest, and once the magic power was depleted, the opponent would collapse on the ground from exhaustion.
But at this moment…
Elus also couldn’t hold on any longer.
Because although her attack was terrifying, it was also a huge consumption.
That lacquer black sword of annihilation possessed the power to annihilate everything, but without Lonis’s replenishment, Elus could only unleash one full-power sword.
And these past few days, although Lonis had turned into a little fox and become very cute.
But this also led to Lonis losing her sense of shame, and Elus couldn’t get any magic power replenishment.
Even though the Black-hearted Girl had prepared for this and returned to her loli form, she had been accumulating energy for the battle.
However, magic power was consumed every bit, and what’s more, there were two opponents. Elus decided not to continue to entangle and chose to withdraw directly.
“Oh? Trying to escape? Haha, I didn’t expect the dignified Princess Lonis to be such a coward who runs with her tail between her legs?”
“Haha, of course I’m a coward. And Lonis isn’t just a little coward, she’s also a submissive.”
Because she reprimanded Lonis all day, Elus had become immune to “cursing Lonis.”
“You… You bastard, die!!!!!!!!”
“Hmph, bye bye. You can just play by yourself in this forest~~~”
Elus snorted coldly, retreating in the face of Silent Leaf’s offensive.
…
——————-
…
“Woof woof, meow meow meow!”
“Everyone’s back?”
Seeing everyone push open the cabin door, Su Ling and Lonis excitedly ran over.
They brought towels and tails, both wanting to welcome everyone back in their best states.
However…
“Huh? What’s going on, classmate Elus…”
“Woof woof meow, woof woof meow!”
Compared to Su Ling’s confusion, Lonis became even more anxious. She kept nudging the door crack, even trying to climb out of the ship to find Elus.
Seeing this, Zhisheng Luo lowered her head:
“Uh, I’m sorry… Classmate Elus asked us to retreat first, she’s staying to cover the rear.”
“Mew?!”
“Su Ling, Lonis, Elus is very powerful, she’ll definitely be alright…”
Zhisheng Luo bent down, trying to comfort the anxious little fox.
However…
“Waaah, waaah!!!!!!!!!”
Lonis, disregarding everything, headbutted the door!
CRASH!
The intense sound startled Su Ling and Bai Ye. The two of them jointly pulled the little fox’s body, trying to drag her back.
But…
Lonis still struggled with all her might, looking like a puppy trying to run to its master’s side.
“Wah, Little Luo, no…”
“Classmate Isumi, can we start the ship and go rescue Elus quickly?”
Cécile found Isumi and earnestly pleaded.
However…
“We can’t get too close. The tunnels in the woods are too narrow.”
“Huh?”
“And with such a strong wind suddenly rising, the tunnels are at risk of collapse at any moment… However, I can try to operate on the edge. If Elus needs support, we can help her.”
“That’s great! Hmm… Did you hear that, Lonis? We’re going to rescue Elus now, don’t worry.”
Little animals are very simple.
They love their masters, and this love is expressed through their actions… Comforted by Cécile like this, Lonis’s movements became less intense.
However, her head had started bleeding from the impact, and her wrists were also bruised.
Seeing this, Cécile bent down and gently stroked Lonis’s little head:
“Yes, Little Luo, be good. We’re going to save Elus now.”
“Wuu…”
The little fox drooped her tail. Although she wasn’t acting up anymore, her eyes looking out the window were still miserable, as if she felt extremely insecure.
And at this moment…
“Everyone, look over there!”
“Huh?”
In Su Ling’s astonishment, everyone looked out the window!
They saw a figure in lacquer black spitting blood, flying backward in mid-air with a violent impact…
And that figure was Elus, the master Lonis was thinking about.
