Chapter 197: Lifeless Body (2/2)
Emilia understood that Ellie needed help and didn't need a second confirmation. She descended from her horse and joined her friend. The two of them started fighting against the man, who seemed to be a prince of the beastmen kingdom.
Similar to Ellie, he seemed to have an enormous physical power, and on top of that, he could use magic. The three of them flew high as they could fight freely in the sky. The man was at Immortal Establishment level 1. Similar to Snake whom they fought back in Scale kingdom. Back there they needed to fight with so many people, but now the two of them felt like they could take him on. From the start of the war, they felt their cultivation increasing abnormally.
”You annoying fly!” The prince seemed to be fed up with Emilia, as she blocked his attacks with ice blocks every time. He switched his focus to her, which proved to be a mistake. Emilia conjured over twenty fire spears and manipulated them with her QI. The prince didn't struggle with them, as he used his own QI to disperse them. But, he forgot about Ellie, who appeared at his right side, hitting him with her full power.
The prince lurched as he felt the pain go through his whole body. He flew even higher and brandished his claws. He swiped with both his hands a couple of times, sending tens of flying slashes. They couldn't be blocked with Emilia's ice glaciers alone, causing both her and Ellie to get injured. But, they didn't remain injured for long as they brought out Ed's potions and drank them.
The fight resumed, and the prince seemed to be losing as each second passed.
”Wait! If you kill me! Your whole family back in the kingdom will be executed!” The prince seemed to beg for his life, as he knew what would happen to him.
”Don't worry. After we win this war, I'll go back there and kill your whole treacherous family.” Ellie approached his beaten and battered body.
”Do you really believe that you can win?!” The prince seemed to panic more and more as she approached him.
Just as she was close enough, he brought out a round ball. It was the same ball the man who attacked Scale two years ago used to teleport. But, before the prince could activate it, his hand froze along with the ball.
”We won against you, didn't we?” Emilia told him as she froze his whole body. Ellie then proceeded to shatter it and his body.
Just as the two of them tried to enjoy their victory, they noticed something. Ed's monsters were nowhere to be seen. Just as they tried to search for them, they saw two figures coming from the distance.
Their hearts beat faster and the two of them could feel as if they were bleeding. The two figures flew above the armies and stopped above the central one.
”Is this all you have?!” The Immortal Establishment level 4 commander returned with a lifeless body in right hand, as his left one had disappeared.
”EDWARD!!” As his allies saw his body, they screamed as tears filled their eyes.
