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

Spine-chilling screams reverberated around the space, where even the other dark elves sensed unprecedented fear and agony from their cruel deaths. The heartbreaking wails sent chills down the spines of the dark elves who thought they were already used to witnessing the pain of others. Just hearing the screams alone were enough to make them empathize with the victims.

But they didn’t realize that death had also sneaked to their side.

As the dark elves reacted strongly to the flash bang, Nell leaped out of the shadow with her sword and struck at the target ahead of her stealthily!

As a dark elf born in the city of dark elves (though she didn’t look like one), Nell couldn’t be more familiar with the executions and techniques of dark elves. Before heading to the surface, she had once served as a guard captain of her family, participated in the suppressions of other families, and murdered two matriarchs on her own. Due to that reason, Nell knew more clearly than anyone how cunning the dark elf spell casters were.

And how fragile they were.

She shuttled across the crowd like a robust cheetah, her sword aiming straight at a female dark elf. Ever since Shira began her attacks, Nell waited silently in the corner. She knew she wasn’t suitable for frontal assaults. Besides, in terms of strength, Nell was considered the lowest in level among them all. Not only was she weaker than Anne, but she also couldn’t compete with Mini Bubble Gum, Angelina, or Shira. As an inessential character in Rhode’s group, her daily tasks were to train the thieves under Rhode and gather intelligence to a certain degree. Due to that reason, Nell was only around level 65. If it weren’t for the fact that she was familiar with the underground environment and Rhode needed her to lead the way in and out of Carlesodar City, he wouldn’t have brought her along for sure. As Nell wasn’t his card spirit, it would be tough to determine what would happen to her after her death. Of course, Rhode could also make Mini Bubble Gum resurrect Nell or turn her into a card spirit. Perhaps it was due to these possibilities that Rhode wasn’t too bothered for bringing her along.

This clearly described Rhode’s attitude toward Nell. In fact, he wasn’t too concerned about her, which was why he wasn’t worried that she would die in battle. On the other hand, if she were Mini Bubble Gum or Canary, he would rather make them stay by the rear than to risk their lives. In terms of strength, even though their original selves were as strong as their projections and their battle techniques and wisdom were much richer, Rhode still wouldn’t risk bringing them here.

This was the cruel difference in treatment…

Nell didn’t think that anything was wrong about it. At that moment, she didn’t even consider these things. In her eyes, there were only her targets right now!

Clang!

She slammed her blade onto the magical, defensive barrier of the dark elf mages. This was her all-out attack. In an instant, the magical barrier flashed indefinitely to the impact. Nell didn’t let her guard down. Instead, she turned her right arm around abruptly and struck with her sword again. Bright, dazzling blade air waves flowed from her blade, transforming into a lightning bolt that blasted the flickering barrier.

Crack!

This time, the barrier couldn’t withstand her attack. It shattered and popped like a fragile bubble. At that moment, one of dark elf mages also realized that something was amiss. Even though her vision was still blinded by the burst of light, the collision from Nell’s attack made her sense that danger was approaching closely. Upon hearing the crisp crack of the barrier, she turned around quickly, extending her arm to grab the snake whip, and lashed it toward the sound.

Along with this assault, the nine-headed snake whip extended suddenly. The nine snakes at the tip of the whip widened their eyes and mouth as they pounced on Nell!

This was one of the most insidious battle techniques of dark elf mages. Even though the gorgeous nine-headed-snake whip didn’t seem to bring any value into battle, as a matter of fact, if one were bitten by one of the snakes, deadly venom would be injected into one immediately. Not only that, but the long whip would also move on its own according to the holder’s emotions. As soon as one was bitten by the snakes, one was basically dead.

Despite that, Nell was apparent ready for this counterattack. Facing the snakes that lunged at her, she spun the sword around. At the next moment, the female mage’s right hand that was wielding the snake whip fell to the ground. Fresh, scarlet blood spurted out into the air from her wrist. She couldn’t help but howl to the sudden, immense pain, extending her left hand instinctively to hold onto the missing wrist on her right arm. At the next moment, in her blurry vision, she witnessed a flash of brilliance that was as shiny bright as silver.

Then, Nell’s sword pierced her throat mercilessly.
