"What is this thing? It's so ugly!" Kaio was very surprised. Although he was a dark elf, his aesthetic sense was just as picky as other elves. Now he was frowning and looking very disgusted.

Just based on the fact that this thing is so ugly it's disgusting and nauseating, Keo has every reason to go on a killing spree.

“It is indeed very ugly,” Yu Ling agreed.

The monster's head was covered in fleshy growths, and its scales were as rough as cheap leather. It had short, thick limbs, a pointed snout, and a long tail. Its cry was as clear as scratching glass, making one's spirits lift.

"You came here to kill it?"

When Kaio realized that this was the past world, he felt very complicated. However, he was too old, and the few hundred years he had traveled back in time were not enough to save his past self.

So now all he wants to do is get rid of this thing as soon as possible, and then continue living this kind of muddled life with Yu Ling.

"That's right, this is my target. Don't let its ugly appearance fool you, it has strong defense and combat capabilities."

Cecil knew that this Keo was probably also an elf, but he didn't know that this was a dark elf, whom even elves despised. Fighting with him would only lead to unexpected disasters.

He mistook Keo for an equally lucky sprite, and in this situation, Cecil's battle with the monster... became indescribable.

Yu Ling watched the battle quietly from the sidelines, continuing to look for an opportunity to leave, and an excuse to hand Keo over to Cecil to "train" him into a good elf.

The ugly monster and Cecil began to fight back and forth. The art style was quite fairytale-like, and it was turn-based. It seemed that you couldn't cast a spell unless the opponent made a move. Yu Ling found it very uncomfortable to watch. It was more like a live-action version of a children's storybook, with a little bit of awkwardness.

Well, this fight wasn't exciting at all, even with the addition of Keo, the elf who polluted the monsters, it was still extremely bland and tasteless.

Yu Ling isn't even enjoying this melon anymore.

Oh well, I'd better just get through this quickly. Turns out, not every battle is exhilarating.

Of course, it's also possible that Cecil didn't trigger the specific conditions for activating his ultimate ability. In any case, Cecil is still at a disadvantage in this two-on-one situation.

After fighting for a long time, the battle was still undecided. Cecil became more courageous with each setback, while Keo, the protagonist of this sadomasochistic novel who rose to power through underhanded tactics, gradually became powerless.

The saliva secreted by the monsters was slightly poisonous, and Kaio accidentally got some on himself. However, being used to enduring pain, he insisted on holding it in without making a sound. This caused his teammate Cecil, who was fighting alongside him, and Yu Ling, who was watching the battle, to make incorrect judgments about the current situation.

The first to notice something was wrong was actually that poor system that was doing unpaid work in another time and space.

[Host!!! I already told you not to kill the protagonist... Huh?]

The system thought that Yu Ling and the dark elf had a falling out and that Yu Ling wanted to mess with the other for fun, so it hurriedly came to the system space to see what was going on with Yu Ling. However, the words that were about to come out stopped abruptly when it saw the battle situation.

—Kaio was still staring with an air of 'I'm perfectly fine,' having a great time fighting the Warcraft.

[Aaaaaah! Has the protagonist gone mad? His vital signs are flashing red, why isn't he coming back for treatment?! Host, hurry and save him! Mission! Mission!]

The system seemed far more anxious than Yu Ling; it probably hadn't realized that Yu Ling was no longer punished for failing a mission.

"I know, I know."

Yu Ling gave a few casual replies and sent the system back to continue doing unpaid work. After the system's reminder, he used his divine soul power to carefully sense Kaio's condition and indeed found something was wrong.

However... this poison isn't something that kills instantly upon contact; he should be able to hold on for a while longer.

Yu Ling prepared for the rescue, and continued to pretend to be a weakling with amnesia who was not good at fighting, and watched the battle with a clear conscience.

Cecil's performance was still quite stable, but no matter how powerful the protagonist is, if he is teamed up with Keo, a dark elf who is not in good condition, he can only teeter on the edge of getting beaten up.

While dodging the monster's attack, Cecil leaped into the air, but was tripped by the monster's leg cramp and fell to the ground. At the same time, he was whipped hard by the large tail that swung up from below.

Logically, Cecil could have dodged this attack even while in mid-air. Unfortunately, Keo was poisoned at that moment and collapsed just as he was about to be crushed by the monster. This distracted Cecil, who was caught off guard and was struck in the waist by the tail, sending him flying...

"It's quite a dramatic scene. They shouldn't be the protagonists of fairy tales; they should be stage actors."

Despite her complaints, Yu Ling still had to rescue him. No matter how unlucky Kai was, he was still a main character and it wasn't time for him to die yet. She should wait until he was tired of living before making any moves.

As the ugly face of the monster 'descended from the sky,' Keo felt nauseous to the extreme, which completely overshadowed the fear of being crushed to death.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept through the air, and a head of long, silver-gray hair floated before his eyes. The small, crystal-clear wings belonging to an elf fluttered, revealing Yu Ling, who had shed her disguise and stood in front of him at the crucial moment.

"Are you crazy?!"

Kaio roared, then coughed violently, probably because he was too excited, which triggered the release of the venom he had been holding back.

Faced with the weak dark elf who wanted him to leave but was powerless to do so, Yu Ling showed no intention of retreating. He did not turn back, but firmly and awkwardly erected a magical barrier.

It's similar to the one in the Elf Kingdom, but its defense is visibly weak. With so little magic, how could it possibly withstand a monster that even Cecil struggled against?

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment. Cecil charged forward in slow motion, Keo's mournful voice stretched and prolonged, and the monster's body drew ever closer...

The above is not an exaggeration; it is all a reflection of Yu Ling's real-life experience.

Who understands this? Such a huge and heavy monster fell slower than a feather! In the modern world, there's a guy named Newton who's probably turning in his grave!

Didn't they (referring to all the native inhabitants of the fairy tale world) feel at all that it was unscientific?

Forget it, it's children's literature, why bother with science?

The monster was stuck at 0.2x speed and kept falling. Yu Ling immediately used her modified Holy Light Ball to blast it into the sky.

—If you don't want to fall, then go to heaven! Hehehe!

Having lost her dangerous target and saved Kaio, Yu Ling did not move an inch.

When Cecil and Keo, who was struggling to stand up, approached, he simply looked back with a complex and bewildered gaze, his expression flashing through memories, shock, humiliation, regret, disgust, and disdain.
