[Third Person POV],

Seeing as she had been fortunate enough to score a hit on the young but powerful human in front of her before he could get close to her and do whatever he wanted with her, perhaps even capture her for his dirty interests as the humans in her world did, the dark elf moved slowly towards the human in front of her.

This was her plan until she saw something she didn't expect to see.

Ace was also impacted by what was happening to him a few seconds after the poison in his body began to take effect, so she wasn't the only one.

'Eh?'

Ace found himself unexpectedly lost as the poisonous pain he had been experiencing just moments earlier vanished with the arrival of the primordial chronicle in front of him.

The abrupt appearance of the primordial chronicle in front of him and the information in the panel got him confused.

For some reason, it seemed as though the dark elf's poison caused his unknown half-race, which he was previously unaware of, to react to it.

However well-planned his charge may have been, Ace had to admit that he had been a little sloppy with it.

Apart from the fact that his body was far stronger than other rank 1 creature, Ace was able to pick up a few other aspects about it from every battle he had since entering the true world to this point.

One thing that was clear from the recent combat was how quickly his body could recuperate.

Ace was already physically exhausted from fighting the three snakes before the dark elf intervention and was on the verge of needing a pill to keep fighting.

He was very exhausted, but he managed to talk to the cautious and inexperienced elf to give himself a little time for his body to recover.

The fact that Ace did not even use one stamina pill before he recovered to the point where he could fight again says a lot about Ace's recovery speed, which was not particularly abnormal but seemed superior to a monster's own.

Unfortunately, he did not anticipate that the ef would also be carrying a poisonous weapon since he had not seen any other weapons on her body.

He was at fault in this instance and a little careless in his charge.

Thankfully, he was saved by the thing he least anticipated to aid him.

Ace slowly stood up as a series of thoughts ran across his mind. He looked at the frightened elf in front of him and thought, "I'll need to research more about this though."

For starters, one of the reasons he charged the elf in the first place was to take control of the situation rather than remain passive. He was also unsure and wanted to see whether he could subdue the elf so he could question her and see if he could learn anything.

Ace was just interested in learning as much as he could about the other race, therefore whether the information was going to be useful or not was of little concern to him. Unfortunately, this plan did not work out because Ace was poisoned.

Thankfully, the situation did not end up worse.

Looking at the poison arrow in his hands and his bloody chest as he could feel that the open wound was slowly closing, Ace threw the arrow in his hand away as he got became more cautious of the elf.

Due to the unreliability of his race, he could not be confident that if he were to be hit by another hidden weapon, he would be fortunate enough to have it devoured. He could not afford to make any mistakes at this time.

It was preferable if he treasured this second chance that came his way.

Ace quietly observed the elf in front of him and pondered this.

The fact that Ace could still move, on the other hand, terrified the elf beyond belief.

She became even more mentally disturbed as she saw the wound on his chest slowly heal.

"That poison had the ability to slowly end a level 50 monster! How did he manage it?" The elf was thinking frantically as her eyes flew over the area because she knew she needed to leave this location as soon as possible.

Despite his appearance, she did not think she could defeat this monster dressed in human form, and she only wanted to escape.

From the stories she had heard from her older sisters about the possible things that could happen from her getting captured, the elf would rather die than end up in a similar situation.

The elderly but young elf began to question her decision to steal the human kill in the first place as she considered what may occur if she were to be discovered.

It was possible, based on his performance up to this point, that he was a noble in his race—and not just any ordinary noble.

The elf realised her mistake, and as she was defenceless at this point, the best course of action for her was to flee.

Although the dark elves took great pride in claiming to be the strongest elves among their species, they were all the most shameless and had thick enough skin to flee a fight they were unsure they could win.

The elf had already used poison to gain the upper hand, and since that tactic had failed, she had no choice except to flee the location and try again another time.

The dark elf turned to face Ace as she pondered whether there was anything she could temporarily do to lower his guard and perhaps even flip the situation.

She was stunning, and her sisters claimed that humans were lust-filled creatures, so what if.......

"You're not considering fleeing, are you?"
