Chapter 1230 - Dark Region (14) (1/2)

Swish——!

A large sword swung out and dissipated the smoke. Before the dozen dark elves reacted, a shadowy figure flitted across. In an instant, their upper bodies flew up into the air, while their internal organs and scarlet blood splattered all over the ground. Looking at this horrific scene, the dark elves at the back turned ashen and quickly retreated. However, another whistling gust of blade wind dispersed the rolling smoke around the young lady as she stood before them once again. This time, the dark elves couldn’t help but stare blankly at her.

They didn’t know when it happened, but thick steel chains had already spread across the ground like a spider web with the young lady in the middle. The shimmering and reflective steel chains left them in freezing fear. Not only that, but it was also at that moment when the dark elves realized that they were caught in the net of steel chains! The dark elves were certain that a few seconds ago the ground underneath their feet were empty. But now, as they stared at the wide net of steel chains, they were stunned to discover that they were like prey who were stuck to a spider web and couldn’t budge at all.

“It’s so painful… So painful… So, so painful…”

Shira let out dying howls, but none of the dark elves were excited about that. On the contrary, every one of them gripped their weapons and scanned the surroundings in terror. They finally understood this young lady’s style. Whenever she yelled that she was in pain, she wasn’t about to surrender. Instead, it meant that she was about to massacre them all.

“So painful… But it’s still not enough… not enough… You guys should try it too!”

Shira let out an abrupt roar. Then, her swaying petite body that was seemingly about to collapse to the ground turned around all of a sudden. She darted ahead with her sword and arrived before the dark elves, raising the pitch-black blade and flourishing it from above!

She’s so fast!

Looking at this scene, the dark elves were bewildered. Shira didn’t exhibit such speed earlier. She kept sauntering, while swinging her enormous blade across the enemies in her path. Due to that reason, the dark elves subconsciously believed that only her sword swings were quick, while she was slow-moving. After all, she wielded such a huge, heavy sword, so her speed must be affected to a certain extent. That was why even though the dark elves were terrified of her berserk annihilation, they still dared to stand in front of her.

But now, they were stunned to realize that her speed was much faster than they had imagined!

At that moment, this was the first time ‘retreat’ cropped up in their minds. But it was a pity that it was too late.

The instant Shira dashed forward, the steel chains flew up as though resonating to her assault, binding the dark elves like strong, tree vines. Upon realizing the fluttering of the steel chains, the dark elves were bewildered. They tried to avoid the entanglement of the steel chains in a fluster, but at that moment, no one noticed a snowy, tender arm extending out of a shadow in the corner and tossing something in midair.

A small and round ceramic jar flew out from her palm and landed within the group of dark elves.

“———!”

At the next moment, blinding white lights exploded. The dark elves who didn’t anticipate this move let out high-pitch shrieks as they shut their eyes in terror. As a matter of fact, this was a common move by dark elves themselves, especially during internal battles. As dark elves were innately sensitive to light, glaring lights were their absolute weakness. Of course, they came up with countermeasures. It could also be said that dark elves were the only race who invented equipment like ‘sunglasses’ in the entire continent. They polished obsidian into lenses and created something similar to ‘sunglasses’. However, the production costs were too high, causing them to be expensive and rare in quantity. Moreover, putting on sunglasses in the pitch-black underground made one seem like an unbecoming, literary person. Therefore, not even matriarchs were willing to wear a pair of sunglasses even in possible ambushes of bright lights. A matriarch would only wear it, just in case, when she was involved in an internal battle.

Of course, the dark elves also prepared the item for this battle. But after learning that Shira was an undead creature and couldn’t cast any spells, they didn’t consider further issues in this direction. And now, in the face of a sudden, blinding ambush of light, they knew that the situation was dire for them. In an instant, the dark elf mages of noble status cast a glimmering magical brilliance that shielded them from any possible assaults that ensued. As for those lowly male dark elf… They weren’t worthy of their attention.

The male dark elves were in a rather miserable state. That instance of bright light made them miss the opportunity to escape the shackles of the steel chains. In the blink of an eye, they felt their bodies tighten as the steel chains that bound them and shrunk abruptly. In just a few seconds, immense pain spread all across their bodies. These well-equipped dark elves were immediately crushed alive into a pile of bloody flesh.
