Chapter 675 - v4c57 Elemental Activation (2) (2/2)
When Brendel had this thought, he suddenly figured things out. “Wait, are you saying there’s something in the center of the forest?”
He squinted his eyes and picked up the sheath of Harlan Gaia with a clang.Then he drew out the heavy black blade.
But just now, a bunch of ice debris tumbled down from the tree trunk above them.
Brendel blanked for a second and then looked up in alarm. That was when he saw an ice fairy about two or three inches tall with two pairs of ice crystal wings standing there, looking at them with the same sense of alertness as they looked at it.
“Who are you, halt immediately!” The fairy girl stood on top of the tree trunk and called out at them sternly.
“Who are you?” Brendel paused. He didn’t think there would still be fairies in the forest; this was different from what the walkthroughs had said. “Don’t you want to go fight for the honey?”
“I…” The fairy girl looked clearly tempted but she hurriedly wiped at her mouth. “I’m different from those silly fools. I’m the guard for the forbidden land and that’s a duty I promised Master Malourcha I’d do…. I – I will definitely not be tempted by such a tiny thing!”
“Interesting.” Brendel couldn’t help but be interested. He had never seen such a special fairy. “Are you saying that you won’t let us in?”
“Naturally.”
The fairy girl jumped down from the tree and hovered in the air not very far from them. She patted her tiny chest and answered in all seriousness, “Listen up. Unless you step over my dead body, I’ll definitely not let you go through.”
“Everyone has to be responsible for what they say.” Before Brendel could say anything, Maynild drew her long sword with a clang. She took one step back and s.h.i.+fted her center of gravity downward, moving into a military sword attack position. “If that’s the case, then talk with your sword –”
“Wait.”
Brendel did not want to start a fight immediately. Since something different from the walkthroughs happened, it could only mean that this mission might have a hidden scenario. But just as he was about to grab Maynild’s shoulder, the female knight moved more determinedly than he thought. She shot towards the little fairy like an arrow and Brendel grasped empty air.
“Maynild!”
“Ah!” The fairy girl was also scared by Maynild’s unyielding attack. But she immediately raised both hands and chanted in a high pitched voice, “Azure Dragon, bless me with the blade to vanquish enemies!”
She pointed in front of her and three circle formations, each with a 2-meter diameter, appeared behind her. The runes of “Vir”, “Oar”, and “Meem” appeared in order upon the formations. These were advanced curses. Brendel jumped — this was no ordinary ice fairy, this was a fairy amba.s.sador.
A field of densely packed indigo ice shards, glinting like knife blades, appeared suspended in mid-air behind the little fairy.
“Attack, blizzard!”
“Maynild, come back!”
A storm whipped out from behind the fairy girl and formed a terrifying crystal hurricane in the direction she pointed in. Millions of blade-like ice shards whirled there and wrecked countless trees with a “whoosh.”
In a second, Maynild was drawn into the storm. Anyone else would have chosen to withdraw and protect themselves in such a scenario. But the female knight had her own stubbornness. She gritted her teeth and crossed both arms in front of her. With a clack, the dancing snowflakes immediately formed a thick layer of ice there. At the same time, the ice crystals slashed across her arm in a second and continued on their way, trailing blood behind them.
The Aouine military outfit on Maynild’s arms turned into a million strips with a tearing sound. But she continued moving forward, pressing each step against the snow that was building up. Then she jumped up with a leap. The fairy girl’s eyes widened unconsciously as she saw Maynild appear in front of her in the same second– the female knight’s teeth were clenched and the desire for battle in her eyes almost turned into flames.
Her black hair dancing wildly, Maynild separated her almost frozen arms and landed a single blow on the fairy girl with all her might. The punch made the fairy girl fly out like a comet.
Brendel stared in amazement as the little fairy slammed against the piled up snow on the ground, bounced around a few times like a ball of yarn, then stopped.
“Ooooohhh, it hurts, mommy…”
The fairy young girl moaned and cried from the pain. She sat up on the ground and burst into tears.
Her cries were so pitiful that Brendel, watching the fight from the sidelines, felt embarra.s.sed. But when he turned around to look at Maynild, he saw the woman who looked similar to Bai Jia placidly wipe her hand against her arm. The ice crystals and blood-stained snowflakes that were frozen to her skin fell off with clinking sounds.
Brendel hissed in his heart. He didn’t know whether the woman could feel any pain, but he felt pain just looking at it.
“Good, let’s continue.” Maynild looked up and said to Brendel.
“You didn’t take out your anger at me on her, did you?” Brendel asked with some pity in his voice.
The female knight stopped and glanced at him. She answered calmly, “I’m not as bored as you.”
With that said, she put away her sword and continued walking forward. Just then, the fairy girl who had been crying as if her heart had been broken stumbled off from the ground. She wept but raised her head despite her swollen and bruised face.
“I… I said you are not allowed there!”
She whined out an answer.
Brendel and Maynild both halted their footsteps and stared at this strange little fairy.
