Chapter 105 Dying?

Hearing the words that she felt very strange from Erend's mouth, Mithes frowned until her eyebrows seemed to come together.

"What are you talking about?" Mithes asked.

But of course, she wouldn't wait long enough to come up with an excuse.

Mithes returned to twirling her dagger skillfully. A thin black aura appeared around Mithes' body.

That black aura looks quite sinister. It was different from the aura that the Elves used to give off.

Elves usually give off a brightly colored aura. But now what Erend saw was a dark sinister aura.

But it doesn't stop there. The aura that was originally only black also had other colors moving along with it. It was an aura of red color.

Now Mithes' body was enveloped by black and red auras that intertwined around her body. The impression Erend got from it was a feeling of being corrupted.

It was as if the Magic color of the Elf had been corrupted by the darkness which he didn't know what it was.

Erend finally felt that the name 'Dark Elf' was something that made sense.

Changes that occur in Mithes are not only that. Her smooth white skin suddenly peeled off like paper when it was burned by the fire.

Then from behind the white skin appeared dark brown skin that actually looks exotic.

It's just that the skin looks in sharp contrast to the smooth white skin of the Elves. Once again explaining the name 'Dark Elf' they have.

When Erend was busy thinking about it all, Mithes suddenly ran towards him with incredible speed.

Erend widened his eyes in surprise. But he was able to master the situation quickly and activate his skills. The only Skill that is currently available.

[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]

A Skill that was able to make Erend use the power of fire was really something very useful.

Even though Erend could no longer use his Dragon powers for the moment, Erend didn't think he was at a great disadvantage.

Mithes lunged then when the distance was as she expected, Mithes thrust her dagger at Erend.

*ZWOOOSH!*

A wall of fire suddenly appeared from below and blocked Mithes' view.

Mithes, who was shocked by the sudden wall of fire, immediately jumped back and put on an alert attitude.

*ZWOOOSH!*

*ZWOOOSH!*

*ZWOOOSH!*

Suddenly three fireballs shot out from behind the wall of fire.

The three of them hurtled towards Mithes at an incredibly fast speed.

But Mithes also has good speed and agility. She jumped and twisted her body to dodge every fireball that shot toward her.

'What's that?'

Mithes wondered in her heart. How could he still use his power after Mithes sealed it?

Based on her previous experience, any creature that was hit by the seal would lose its ability to use Magic.

The seal is indeed very powerful because of that, it requires quite a lot of Magic energy as well.

Mithes only used her Magic energy to increase her speed. She didn't dare to use a large amount of magic because it would drain her already drained magic energy.

She thought, without the Dragon's power at his disposal, the human was just an ordinary human and Mithes could kill him easily.

But it seems that her estimation is quite wrong.

When the wall of fire disappeared, Erend's figure stood up with a smirk on his face.

Mithes gritted her teeth. How could that human use Fire Magic at this stage? Did the Elves teach him to do that?

Unfortunately, Mithes did not get any information about it.

"Hey, what happened? Are you scared?" Erend said as if challenged. "Tell me, who are your comrades in the palace? I know there is another male Elf that works with you."

Mithes' eyes widened slightly. 'So he already knew about his whereabouts? That's the reason he called me here. So that this human can be dealt with quickly.'

"Answer my question, and I'll consider letting you live," Erend added in a calm tone.

Mithes tightened her jaw. The human spoke as if he had won and looked down on her.

'Me?! A Dark Elf, looked down by a mere human?!'

Mithes who couldn't hold back her emotions shot toward Erend. But this time she didn't just carry a dagger as a weapon.

Mithes waved her hand and then two dogs created from a dark aura appeared.

The dog was as big as a grizzly bear that Erend had seen when he used to hunt in the forest around the Republic of Ascaria.

They were created from Mithes black aura so they looked a little transparent. But that did not reduce their ferocity. Instead, it makes them even more terrifying.

The two dogs ran to the right and left of Mithes like loyal guards.

They opened their mouths as they got closer to Erend.

Erend who was still activating his skill spread his arms to the side.

Then in his palms appeared flames of fire. Erend threw the flames at the two dogs.

The two black dogs could jump to avoid it. Apparently, they also have good speed and agility.

But Erend wasn't done yet. With just his will, he snapped his fingers, and the two fireballs that had just hit the ground turned into two fire dogs.

Erend didn't even know he could do that. He only did it based on the description of [All Fire-based Power].

Where he can manipulate fire according to his will. So there were two fire dogs.

Erend orders his two fire dogs to attack Mithes' two shadow dogs.

'This human!'

Mithes gritted her teeth as her anger was running high. Knowing that a mere human could use this kind of magic really bothered her.

Mithes continued to run towards Erend. But Erend realized that he lacked the ability to fight at close range right now.

So when Mithes approached him with her ghastly face burned with anger, Erend also ran away while continuing to use his fire ability.

Erend shoots fireballs and then creates a wall of fire that suddenly appears in front of Mithes.

He did all this while keeping his distance. Erend who was used to using his hands and feet to attack head-on had not been able to adjust to the ranged combat tactics he had to do now.

So all Erend could do was keep running while throwing small attacks. While hoping that he would inflict damage on Mithes.

"STOP AND FACE ME, COWARD!" Mithes shouted.

Erend gritted his teeth. 'Ah, I hope I can punch that bitch in the face!'

Mithes was still trying to run after Erend. While Erend is also still running away while shooting fireballs which really annoys her.

But suddenly Erend stopped where he was. Causing Mithes, who was not ready, to widen her eyes. She had to stop running so suddenly that she almost fell.

Seeing the gap, Erend immediately spread out his arms and unleashed a huge burst of flames toward Mithes.

*ZWOOOSH!*

The torrent of fire immediately enveloped Mithes' entire body.

"ARGGHHH!!!"

A scream that echoed in pain rang out from within the torrent of flames.

Erend smirked realizing that his tactic was quite successful.

He managed to make Mithes feel enough anger and made the Dark Elf think that he was just going to run.

That way, Mithes would pursue him with a blind rage that would cloud her judgment of the situation.

But suddenly a dagger shot from behind the torrent of flames toward Erend.

Erend can move his head to avoid fatal injuries. But he couldn't dodge far enough that the dagger managed to make a scratch on his cheek.

Erend reflexively stopped his burst of flames then jumped up and ran away.

When he turned his head, Erend saw that part of Mithes' body had been burned and still emitting smoke.

The smell of charred flesh wafted through the air. Even the clothes she was wearing had already been burned, leaving the Elf charred and naked.

Mithes looked at Erend with one eye only. Because her other eye had burned.

Erend will not waste time. He had managed to injure Mithes quite badly so he would take advantage of the opportunity.

Erend created another ball and was about to throw it at Mithes. But suddenly his vision blurred.

The fire that was already smoldering in his hand vanished as if blown by the breeze.

Erend fell to his knees. His head felt dizzy and he couldn't focus. Then Erend remembered about the dagger blade that managed to graze his cheek.

'Shit is this...'

"Ha... Haha..."

A hoarse laugh from a burning throat sounded from Mithes' direction.

The Dark Elf had now fallen to her knees as well. But she looked at Erend with a look that seemed to say she had won.

'So it's true.'

Erend gritted his teeth in regret. That dagger must have contained some kind of poison that instantly made his body like this.

"Even though... I will die... at least... you... will die with me."

The voice sounded even more horrible because it came out of the mouth and the burning vocal cords.

'Am I really going to die?'
