Chapter 140 He Comes

'I have to get out of here quickly!'

That was the first thing that crossed Aurdis' mind.

Seeing herself now being caught between the bolts of lightning and the flames, and the cumulation of daggers, Aurdis couldn't stop thinking that this was her own fault.

She allowed herself to be surrounded by the enemy.

With the number lost, Aurdis just stood still without trying to move to keep her distance from her enemy.

Experience on the battlefield is very important. Especially in a battle where she had to fight multiple enemies.

But Aurdis had no experience of that at all. And that is her biggest loss.

"(She's already overwhelmed. Now is the time!)" the male Dark Elf, one of the Dark Elves who had to lose his hand because of Aurdis, spoke through gritted teeth.

His voice came out with a burning vengeance. Seeing the condition of Aurdis being suppressed from various directions, he couldn't wait to cut the Elf princess's body as quickly as possible.

"(No! Do as planned!)" but the leader prevented the two of them from rushing toward Aurdis.

The two Dark Elves who had lost their hands gritted their teeth.

But they still listen to their leader's orders.

The leader dashed closer to Aurdis while fixing wary eyes on the Elf princess.

They have already felt the consequences of their sloppiness.

So the leader doesn't want to suffer any more consequences for underestimating what she can do.

The leader channeled his red magic aura into the chains and the new hooks he had attached.

The chain was now enveloped in red magic energy. Making it look like it's just been put in a kiln.

He turned to his friends and nodded. After that, the two of them spread out their one arm which was still intact.

They fired concentrated attacks to a point under Aurdis' feet.

The invisible magic shield under her feet seemed to be distorted by their attacks.

When the leader saw the distortion in the magic shield, he immediately threw his hook with all his might at Aurdis' feet.

Aurdis, who was busy maintaining the strength of her Magic shield in the direction of all the attacks, couldn't feel that there was a point on her Magic shield that had been damaged under her feet.

*CRACKK!*

It was only when the Magic shield broke that Aurdis could sense that something was wrong.

But it was already too late because now, Aurdis's leg was wrapped by a chain.

*CRAAT!*

Not only that, but the hook that was shaped like a curved claw also pierced her leg.

Aurdis was then pulled with an enormous force. She left all the Magic shields that had protected her and could only helplessly follow the chains pulling her to the ground.

*BOOM!*

The two Dark Elves whose hands had been severed were grinning widely.

Seeing Aurdis lying in pain, they immediately shot toward her very quickly.

Like two predators who saw their prey injured before their eyes.

Aurdis winced in pain. Then she saw the two Dark Elves whose hands she had destroyed were rushing towards her with savage eyes.

Aurdis immediately tried to get up and protect herself.

She moved her hands together at the same time.

But suddenly two chains appeared from underground and entangled her hands.

After that, the chains pulled Aurdis' hands to the ground next to her sides.

Before Aurdis had time to digest her shock, from underground emerged a pair of arms wrapped around her neck solidly.

"Ghhkkk..."

Aurdis felt her airways start to thin out. She groaned and winced in pain.

But Aurdis couldn't do anything now. In her darkening vision, she saw the two Dark Elves getting closer.

They already had a new dagger in their hands.

"(Hehehe, you can't do anything now, princess.)"

Aurdis heard the terrifying voice of the Dark Elf choking her.

"(Your skin is so smooth, princess. And you're really pretty too. It would be a shame if we killed you right away.)" the Dark Elf continued.

Aurdis was in despair. Tears of despair began to flow out of her eyes.

Her body started to go limp and she could no longer cast Magic.

It seemed like the chains that were entangling her feet, or the Dark Elf strangling her, had done something to suppress her Magic ability.

Aurdis' vision had gone completely dark when she heard a scream.

Then she felt a heat wave touch her skin.

Aurdis was unable to think to guess what really happened.

But a moment later the strangling on her neck was released.

Aurdis immediately coughed and took a deep breath. When her vision returned, Aurdis saw the face she had missed so much.

A face that made her so relieved that tears burst out of her eyes.

,m "Are you alright?" Erend asked with a worried tone.

Aurdis couldn't answer because she was still trying to catch her breath and hold back her tears.

"It's alright now," Erend said.

Erend stood up and stared at the four Dark Elves who were now gathered in front of him.

"Ah, you guys again." Erend gritted his teeth. "After failing to kill me, now you guys are going to kill Aurdis by ganging up on her. You bastards really deserve a painful death."

A few minutes before...

That morning Erend woke up feeling strangely restless.

The restless feeling came from the same thing that had made him difficult to sleep last night.

His thoughts were on Aurdis. It feels like they've been apart for years.

Especially with all the trouble that happened in the Elf palace.

Aurdis must be having a hard time right now.

Erend never cared about the Elves in general. But Aurdis was different from them.

She is willing to help and protect them when they are in dire need of help.

While his thoughts were on Aurdis, suddenly a notification about the Daily Quest appeared.

[ Daily Quest Updated! ]

[ Daily Quest: Kill the Dark Elves that want to kill Aurdis. ]

[ Reward: 200 Exp. ]

Erend frowned. It turned out that his nervousness was true.

A portal appeared in front of him a moment later. Without thinking, Erend immediately jumped in.

~~~

That's how Erend ended up here still wearing his trouser and a shabby loose black t-shirt.

Getting ready to face the Dark Elves intended to kill Aurdis.
