My coronary heart raced as I held my breath, unsure if it was due to the adrenaline or due to one thing else.

“Hey, should not we assault?” I pointed on the stupefied elf king who gave me a pissed-off glare.

“Not but. I am nonetheless speaking to you.” He grabbed my hand and introduced it down whereas his eyes by no means left mine, which made me really feel a bit embarrassed, so I seemed away.

“N-Now’s not the time–“

“Right here.” He minimize me off and took off his shirt.

“WHOA!?” I gasped and coated my mouth. What was he doing!? Public flashing? Huh!?

My face went crimson after I noticed his naked chest and abs glistening with sweat, proper in entrance of my eyes. I shortly shifted my focus to Erenduill, who was equally shocked, seeing as he had his mouth vast open whereas gazing us.

“Your panties are displaying. White.” Normal Zhang stated with a straight face as he tied his shirt round my waist.

“What the–! Get away! ACK!” I raised my arm, shoved him exhausting on his agency, toned chest out of embarrassment till he chanced on his ft.

“You may take it off in order for you, I will not drive you to put on what you do not like,” he shrugged it off and began stretching his physique, “alright, let’s get able to proceed with the killings~”

“Uh!?” I exclaimed in bewilderment after I noticed his trademark grin again up once more. I imply… Thanks? I did rip most of my skirt off to make use of as a makeshift gauze for Emi, however… In the midst of a combat!? Critically? Who even known as day trip simply to vary clothes!? I’ve fought in worse clothes than this, so I did not thoughts a lot, actually…

“… I assumed I understood people and their easy mind-set, however I suppose a few of them are quite… Mystifying.” Erenduill frowned.

“Ah, it’s possible you’ll transfer now.” Normal Zhang giggled and snapped his fingers.

“Wha–?” The elf king’s eyes widened, and he blinked a couple of instances whereas gazing his two arms that he began to maneuver round, up and down, after which in circles.

“Ow ow ow, I’ve a tummyache! I feel it is my interval or one thing. I will sit this one out and watch from the sideline, okay?” Normal Zhang pretended to have abdomen ache by clutching his abs and sitting on the bottom, earlier than winking and mouthing to me, ‘present me what you are able to, little cub’.

“… A interval? You?”

Though I used to be very confused, I knew that needs to be the least of my concern proper now. It turned out that the elf king did not cease as a result of he was intimidated, however as a result of someway, he wasn’t capable of.

I nonetheless did not perceive this eel, but–

‘BANG!’

–at least I understood that I need to kill this elf king first.

“Come at me.” I smirked and taunted the elf king that blocked my bullet with a wind defend, as ordinary. Not surprising.

As a substitute of truly difficult me, he solely gave me a fast look earlier than dashing straight for the white-haired basic.

‘THUD!’

“You should not take your eyes off of your enemy, is not that fundamental information, king?” I scoffed as I grabbed his hand, stopping him. Now that my agility was additionally excessive, it wasn’t a tough feat to meet up with him.

[Ding!]

… Oh?

I did not anticipate my preventing soiled ability to activate. I even forgot that this ability existed, because it did not set off for such a very long time… Might or not it’s that ‘stronger’ opponent wasn’t merely determined by stats alone? Effectively, however the set off was nonetheless the identical as I remembered. It was bodily contact.

Anyway, the plus three stats weren’t of a lot use anyway, I wanted to discover a method to degree up this ability someway as soon as I acquired again.

‘Crackle!’

“Tch!” Erenduill clicked his tongue when ice encapsulated his complete arm quickly, and he shortly pulled his arm again, releasing it from my grip.

“You are not getting away!” I crouched a bit, and centered my power on my ft to make one large leap at him, barely grabbing his finger.

‘CRUNCH!’

“UGHH–!” Erenduill groaned in ache the second I crushed his frozen finger into items, as blood spurted out of the place his finger as soon as was. Nice, now it will be tougher for him to make use of his weapons. I might be happier if I may crush his whole arm, although…

Though my palm acquired damage within the course of, I did not thoughts and continued pushing him. He should not have the ability to use his wind defend in opposition to bodily assaults, proper?

‘BAM! BAM!’

I repeatedly punched him, concentrating on particular locations like his temple, his ears, his epigastrium, and naturally, his dongdong.

“Preventing, little cub~ You are by yourself, we’re all busy right here!” Normal Zhang giggled as he cheered me from the place he was seated.

Huh? Even Jeanne and Firiell?

“Ah, ah~ The villagers are beginning to collect right here. I will go assist Jean-jean to knock them out,” basic Zhang sighed, “don’t fret, I will not kill them~”

‘BAM!’

As I landed one other punch that was blocked by the king, I cursed the truth that I used to be now fully alone in opposition to this lunatic.

“You have acquired some expertise in hand-to-hand fight, do not you?” The elf king smirked as he stored parrying my strikes, “I do not know who taught you, nevertheless it pales compared with my coaching!”

‘SLAM!’

“Kkh–!” Frowns appeared on my brow as I used my bruised arm to defend myself in opposition to his highly effective assault. I swore I may hear one thing cracking, this loopy bastard!

“Peasant– no, a grimy human such as you will not ever match up with me.” His eyes glinted with malice as he raised his hand whereas a mana sword fashioned inside his palm.

Because the sword’s reflection glimmered inside my eye, I centered all my consideration on it. I may see its course, as if it was shifting in slow-motion.

Ah, having excessive agility certain was nice. Positively going to take a position extra factors on this stat later.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh!”

I ducked, side-stepped, jumped, and backflipped, doing all types of issues simply to keep away from getting sliced by his mana sword.

As a couple of of my hair strands flew within the air, getting minimize, I may see him smiling, as if he was having fun with this back-and-forth.

“Come on, human. You will not get anyplace simply by dodging me!” He laughed like a maniac, “as I assumed, most people are simply subpar at greatest. I do not perceive why they suppose they’re so particular.”

‘Fwoosh!’

I ducked once more, and rolled away on the bottom, dodging his offended swings. This time, his expression had modified, from a loopy, laughing one, to a extra hateful one, which jogged my memory of Ioriell. They actually had been blood brothers, huh? They might look a lot alike, however on the identical time, so totally different.

” you,” he dashed and tried to stab me on the bottom, which he didn’t do, “actually makes my blood boil,” he slashed up, barely hitting my thigh, which made me flinch on the ache, “how do you guys have a lot ego if you’re so helpless?”

‘SLAM!’

“Urk–!” Immediately, he switched from utilizing his blade to kicking me within the abdomen, which cleanly linked, sending me flying to the bottom a couple of meters away.

As my physique slammed in opposition to the bottom, dirtying myself from prime to backside, I may hear his steps coming in direction of me.

“Pathetic. You may’t even get your soiled palms on me.” He glared down at me.

I stretched out my hand in direction of a close-by rock, and he immediately stomped on it, making me groan in ache.

“Disgusting,” he scoffed, “if solely you are an elf, although. I am certain somebody as… Fascinating as you can a minimum of be my royal knight… And even my right-hand man. My queen, maybe, with sufficient coaching?”

“No thanks. I do not need to affiliate myself with somebody who judges by race.” I snickered, mocking him.

‘Crack!’

He stomped on my hand tougher, till the sound of bones cracking may very well be heard by the each of us. Dang it, it was painful, however I bit my lips so I would not scream, thus not giving him the satisfaction he needed.

“As I assumed, a grimy human like you can by no means perceive our values.” He sighed and seemed down upon me.

“… Yeah,” I smirked and glared again at him with confidence, “I am a grimy, unfair human, you chilly, soggy fries.”

‘CRACKLE!’

“Huh–!?” He gasped when the foot that was stomping my hand all of the sudden froze alongside my very own hand, connecting us collectively.

“Do not suppose you are scorching stuff if you’re a week-old burger at greatest.” I raised my different hand, fashioned my trusty ice claw, and grinned.

‘SLASH!’

Ah, the colour of his blood shining underneath the moonlight certain was stunning. It was totally different from after I was again within the military, mindlessly following orders to kill individuals I did not even know, and whose previous and wrongdoings I did not even know.

Preventing for a trigger I believed in felt means higher than simply preventing underneath somebody’s command.

“You rascal!” He cursed as he fell down on the bottom, his tendon and calf already tousled from my assault.

I did not miss this opportunity and shortly threw some dust into his eyes, which made him grunt and furiously rubbing his eyes.

“You known as me soiled, so anticipate a grimy combat.” I coldly said as I stood up and pressed the tip of my rifle to his brow.

“Do not get cocky but!” He grasped the tip of my rifle and pushed it again little by little.

“Goodbye.” I stated with a flat tone.

‘Crumble!’

Immediately, my rifle’s tip broke into little tiny items, crushed by the sheer energy of his grip.

“Hahhaahaha! That is why you people cannot ever do something, even along with your self-proclaimed superior expertise!” He laughed maniacally whereas staring straight into my unbothered eyes.

‘Stab!’

“…Uh?”

I smirked, taking a look at his confused face.

“I meant it after I stated goodbye,” I chuckled as I noticed horror struck his face upon the conclusion that I had stomped on his chest utilizing a protracted, sharp ice heel, “have an disagreeable demise.”
