The wind blades swept across Keomi's hair, their speed so fast that even this seasoned king was somewhat shocked.
He didn't even have time to trigger an earthquake!
That's too fast!
No!
If one cannot initiate an earthquake, the lag in the subsequent shaking will inevitably lead to one's own demise.
He dodged instantly, creating distance.
Just as I predicted, it was indeed an instant-cast spell.
It has a faster instantaneous casting speed than the mages in its own world, and its power is also very strong. If you use Earthquake, you will lose.
It is equally obvious that she cannot use the power of natural disasters. Is this a special case?
A swift and decisive victory!
Keomi charged forward with his shield raised, but Elsie's wind blades struck the shield and instantly dissipated. Undeterred, he switched to lightning, but it also failed to penetrate!
“A shield that can absorb magic.” Elsie hesitated, then decided against using magic.
She probably knew that although Keomi in her tyrannical phase did not possess the Sword of the Hero, she still had a shield that could counter magic.
Facing Keomi's shield-wielding charge, Elsie calmly used wind element to help her create distance.
"Knowing that magic can't harm me, you chose to bless yourself?" Keomi's eyes were fixed on Elsie, watching her every move.
Even with instantaneous magic, some subtle movements can still be predicted.
For example, the direction Elsie's gaze is when she activates Wind Blade, and the direction her body leans when she moves.
"I see." Keomi once again forced Elsie to use her wind element displacement, anticipating the direction of her dodge. His longsword grazed her hair, narrowly missing her life!
"Such speed," Keomi thought to himself.
She actually dodged the slash with her instinctive reaction. Judging from her expression, she seemed a little surprised. Was she surprised by her own prediction?
"As expected..." Keomi seized the opportunity to use a combination of a small earthquake and a stomp to pull Elsie away.
"You have no combat experience."
"Did you do it just with the instincts of your flesh and blood?" Keomi calmed himself down. "I need more data analysis."
On the other hand, Elsie's side is not so easy to deal with.
It seems like we've used all the tricks we could think of. Are there any other killer moves left?
"That's all," Elsie said honestly, wiping the blood from her face with her fingers.
So you call this being ready?
"Hmm, they're tougher than I expected."
Unlike the previous Keomi, this time he had no subordinates and could not use any force other than violence; the earthquake became a purely auxiliary means.
But his outstanding analytical skills and combat experience have never diminished.
The characteristics of the longsword are not yet apparent, and the shield can perfectly counter magic... so can it block sword energy?
[Elsie! She's here!]
"I saw it."
Keomi charged forward first, and when faced with Elsie's initial wind blade attack, he blocked it with his shield as well.
"Air Shield!"
Keomi's longsword struck the transparent air shield, shattering it instantly!
Defense ineffective!
"I see."
[Shield-breaking trait?]
"He will have a lot of room to maneuver when dealing with me."
"The bane of mages..."
An indestructible shield and an invincible sword—while seemingly contradictory, they are both tools designed for mages, making the contradiction less apparent.
“Kaelin has analyzed for long enough.” Elsie instantly unleashed the gathered magic energy, distancing herself from Keomi.
She glanced at Karin, who was watching the battle from beside the ruins. Karin nodded at her, and the two began to connect in an invisible way.
“He is very strong, and I am not capable of fighting him,” Karin said in the link. “He is an extremely elite warrior.”
Last Breath: +1
To be honest, the battle between Elsie and Keomi can no longer be described as human; they were practically two demolition machines, completely shattering the entire plaza!
On the other side of the square, Jacoban took one last look at Windsor in the coffin and gently stroked her cheek.
Goodnight, child.
The coffin lid was lifted and closed by wind magic. After doing all this, Plato, his face covered in blood, leaned against the ruins and sighed.
“You can’t take the body back. The tracking runes have already been inscribed by His Excellency the Bishop, and Count Ellen is on his way with his troops,” Plato said to Jacoban, who was staring at the coffin.
"Why not take the artifact fragments?"
“There’s no need for that.” Jacoban stared at Plato and threatened, “Knowing too much makes it hard to survive.”
"No, I surrender!" Plato laughed and raised his hands, giving up the fight.
"To be honest, is it really possible to reach that level so soon after birth?"
Plato pointed to the shattered battlefield ahead; the battle between Elsie and Keomi had completely shocked him and Yorgon.
The competition, whether in terms of destructiveness or the details, is chilling.
“…” Yagenan fell silent. He had originally imagined that after bringing Elsie back, the elders in the ancestral lands would nurture her and then maintain the balance of power on the continent.
It now appears that she has already exceeded everyone's expectations.
If Elsie had been taken back to their ancestral lands that year, instead of remaining in the Lanting royal family's territory, she might have grown up much faster.
“What intrigues me more is Titus,” Plato said, looking at Keomi. “He seems to have been possessed. I can’t sense his soul; I can only sense an indescribable darkness and emptiness.”
"No matter what, shouldn't this be part of evil as well?"
"An evil more evil than vampires."
Yagenan: "Guess whether I want to kill you right now?"
"Hahaha..." Plato silently moved away.
“In any case,” Yagenan said, putting a calming herb in his mouth, “we’re now on the same page.”
“Then I will list him as the first person to be judged on the grounds of his malicious killing of the angel.” Plato laughed. “By the way, how many elders did you send this time?”
“…” Yagenan glanced at Plato, somewhat surprised by the man’s knowledge of vampires.
"Including me, there are five elders in total."
"!" Yage Nan was suddenly surprised. Why was he the only elder who had arrived at the square?
The other elders are not much weaker than him; where are they?
"So many?" Plato exclaimed. "It seems that child is very important to you."
But then he realized something was wrong. Looking at Yagenan's terrified expression, he knew something had gone wrong.
Yage looked south in the direction from which Qitatu had come, and in the direction they had gone when they last parted ways with the other elders...
They were all killed by Keomi!
...
The manor castle in Orwick is probably the quietest place in the city.
The witch Rig, dressed in a gorgeous gown, came to Alcardo's bedside and soothed him into a dream.
"Sleep well, Alcardo. Thank you for your rescue and assistance. The final chapter of the story may be approaching, and I have no way of predicting what will happen next."
"Ugh—ugh!!!" Behind her, Hagen, the Grand Master of the Holy Knights, was hoisted up by thorny vines. His mouth was blocked by the vines, and he could only silently endure the increasingly tight vines suffocating him.
