"Shield of Reflection!"
Instantly, a semi-circular shield formed from the intense light, and Leafa poured out all the light from her body, infusing it into the divine spell that was about to take shape.
hum!
Countless arrows fell into the shield of light, but suddenly stopped, unable to advance an inch. After a tremor, the arrows fell limply, and in the distance came the muffled groans of dozens of elven archers.
Jennifer's eyes gleamed as she saw the archers in the distance falling one after another, wounded. She raised an eyebrow and dashed forward over the shield. Although reinforcements were arriving, she was fearless. She preferred to find a way to survive in battle rather than run away!
"You monsters that prey on people..."
She whispered to herself, then delivered a flying knee strike to the chest of the guard who was attacking from the side. Seeing him momentarily stunned, she hooked her leg around the guard's neck, rolled forward once, and then threw him to the elf who was charging up with a spear on the other side.
boom!
The two elves fell unconscious from the violent impact. Jennifer ignored this insignificant victory, raised her sword to block another guard's spear attack, then shot a laser beam that broke the spear handle. She then spun around and lunged forward, delivering a hook punch to the guard's chin.
The guard instantly fell into a baby-like sleep. Jennifer continued to step forward, her toes hooking the broken spearhead along with her feet. She then leaped sideways, powerfully twisting her waist, and launched herself upwards with a flying kick.
Amidst the ear-piercing clang of armor, she kicked out fiercely, and the broken spear tip shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly severing the vine net thrown by the elven thief from the shadows, and striking with unparalleled accuracy the crossbow that the thief was aiming at.
Snapped!
Amidst the shattering sound of the thief's crossbow, Jennifer glanced at him sharply, startling the thief so much that he collapsed to the ground, eyes wide with terror.
She snorted coldly, then narrowed her eyes, looking at the guard squad that had gathered and was charging straight at her with spears. She took a slight breath and gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
The enemy has a numerical advantage, and relying solely on sword skills may not be enough to completely counter every attack. Leafa needs to stay in place to protect the villager and cannot advance alongside her to assist her.
If we were to use offensive magic, we would inevitably lose control of the damage. According to Latis, the Night Elf race has a very powerful leader, and if serious casualties are caused, it could lead to a fight to the death.
bass!
Jennifer blocked several spear thrusts with her sword, using the force of the impact to leap back two steps.
The guards in front of them were still quite numerous. The night elves would never stop attacking until they created enough of a deterrent. Jennifer, who had extensive experience fighting monsters, was very familiar with this. At this moment, she wanted to intimidate these guards to ensure that her side could leave safely.
However, there was a squad of spear-wielding guards in front of him...
Just as Jennifer was hesitating, a faint light suddenly shone on her, and she felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, her speed and strength suddenly increasing.
"Huh? This is..." Jennifer looked up in surprise.
“wee!”
A ray, resembling a giant kite, drifted leisurely through the air, letting out a cry of excitement mixed with a hint of complaint. On its back, Snyder held her right hand horizontally, maintaining the divine spell "Holy Light." Her white robes fluttered in the wind, and when she saw Jennifer looking at her, she couldn't help but give a slightly shy smile.
"Young priests, you're really growing very fast..."
Jennifer smiled slightly, then suddenly lowered her body, slashed upwards, and cleaved several spears that were thrusting at her with her sword.
……
……
When the Night Elf squad, who had just returned from Tree Peak Village, sensed something was wrong and stopped their rest to rush to the ceremony site, Jennifer had already taken down almost half of the guards.
"Stop! Stop!"
The leader of the elf squad was instantly alarmed and rushed forward, shouting in Common:
"How...how did you find this place?!"
"Ha, enough nonsense."
Jennifer brandished her sword, tossed aside the broken wooden shield she had intended to use as a throwing weapon, and stood amidst the fallen elven shield guards, hands on her hips, saying:
“Your act of abducting villagers is heinous. If you return all the villagers who went missing, we can resolve this conflict peacefully.”
"you……"
The elf captain took a deep breath, about to rebuke Jennifer for her boastful words, but quickly shut his mouth. Coming to his senses, he subconsciously glanced around at the messy scene, his face slightly pale, and took a step back.
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
He angrily brandished his fist and shouted:
"We night elves are not pushovers! If you continue to act so unreasonably, don't blame us for using our real weapons!"
"Oh?"
Jennifer raised an eyebrow. She didn't think the Night Elf's hidden trump card was a bluff, but backing down now was not her style.
"We just want to bring the lost villagers back." She glanced back at her teammates who were slowly approaching, raised her chin, and pointed at the disheveled Kiriko, saying:
"This gentleman you abducted is certainly not the first one, is he? How long have you been oppressing Shuluan Village? Just how many evil deeds have you committed? If we're going to settle this score, you have no grounds for complaint."
"You..." The elf captain couldn't help but clench his fists. He was silent for a moment, then said coldly:
"You've already ruined our ceremony. Don't push your luck any further. The villagers from before are all dead..."
"Hmm?" A cold glint flashed in Jennifer's eyes. Before the elf captain could finish speaking, her figure had already disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, she had placed her sword in front of his neck.
"What...what do you mean by this?" The elf captain couldn't help but swallow, feeling the chill against his neck, and said in a trembling voice:
"We didn't intentionally kill those villagers. The previous ritual went wrong, but it wasn't our fault..."
"You've caused so many deaths, isn't that your fault?!"
Jennifer raised her eyebrows and called out coldly. A murderous glint flashed in her eyes as she gripped the hilt of her sword, turned the blade horizontally, and was about to sweep it towards the elf captain's neck.
However, at that moment, a faint sigh suddenly fell from the sky, and then a heavy spider silk instantly descended from the sky, directly trapping Jennifer on the ground.
"Messenger of Light, you've made such a big fuss, shouldn't you stop now? Stop bullying these poor children..."
A colossal, dark shadow slowly descended from the sky. As the night elves bowed and knelt in unison, eight slender, sharp spider legs appeared in Jennifer and the others' sight, stepping on a giant web that seemed to have been tangled together from nowhere. Then, on those spider legs, the wild bodies of the night elves, with their slender branches and large fruits, gradually emerged.
"This is……"
Jennifer, who was kneeling on one knee with her sword in hand, suddenly widened her eyes. Under that powerful pressure, she had exhausted most of her strength and was finding it difficult to support herself. She took a deep breath and shouted:
"Leaf, Snyder, run!"
“...Yes, Master!” Leafa finally snapped out of her daze from the terrifying pressure of the monster lord. She gritted her teeth, didn’t hesitate for long, twisted her body, and started to run away with Kirito.
However, she had only run a few steps when she was also knocked to the ground by the spider silk that shot out from her.
"Leafia! My Lady Knight!"
Snyder, pale-faced, bit her lip, gripping the ray's head fin tightly, and shouted:
"go!"
"Wee!" The ray hesitated for a moment, then obeyed Snyder's command and flew quickly into the distance.
"Void Ray, you've come uninvited, but won't you come and sit in your territory?"
The enormous spider-like spirit sighed softly and said in a low voice:
"You have to give me an explanation for what happened in the void, don't you?"
"wee? Wee!"
The ray turned and called out, inexplicably breaking out in a sweat, so much so that Snyder could barely hold onto its head fin. She called out nervously:
"Don't look back! Let's run!"
"Where can you, a child, run off to?"
The spider-elf, though dozens of meters away, clearly heard the girl's anxious whispers. She shook her head, too lazy to say anything more, and gracefully stretched out her slender arm, beckoning with her finger.
"wee?!"
Suddenly, a huge net appeared in front of the ray. It was terrified and hurriedly twisted its body to try to get away from the web. However, its slight struggle was meaningless under the huge net. With a calm tightening, the net grabbed the ray and Snyder together and they fell to the ground with a thud.
“wee…”
"What, what should we do..."
Snyder was forced to press tightly against the ray's back, her still-childish face instantly losing all color. She struggled to lift her head, but could only see the spider elf's long spider legs. Under the powerful pressure of the demon lord, her eyes instantly ached from looking at it.
Panic and unease gradually filled her heart, and anxious tears welled up in her eyes. At this moment, all she could do was close her eyes tightly and silently pray in her heart, praying for the mercy of the God of Light, and praying to that…
"My lord... please come and save us... Lord Titania..."
blah blah.
Suddenly, a soft thud reached Snyder's ears. She instinctively opened her eyes and found that a pair of slightly worn, wide leather boots had appeared in front of the sharp spider legs.
……
"Ms. Rosette, isn't it rather impolite of you to treat my girls like this?"
Latis, hands in his pockets, stood before the three girls trapped in the net, looked up at the astonished spider-elves, and smiled as he said:
"Perhaps we should have a good talk. The night elves can't withstand too much fighting, can they?"
"...Under this shattered magic net, how could it be able to teleport so precisely from such a distant place to right in front of me?"
Lady Rosette frowned slightly as she glanced at the edge of the forest, where magical energy still lingered. She then lowered her head, looking at Latis, who appeared incredibly small compared to her, and calmly said:
"You possess a vibrant life force, which is excellent, but I'm afraid your current strength is insufficient to demand that I 'have a proper chat' with you."
"Oh, is it so……"
Latis glanced at himself, then slapped his forehead as if in a daze. He grinned, snapped his fingers lightly, and asked:
"what about now?"
boom!
The majestic dragon soared into the sky, easily shredding the spiderweb that Lady Rosette had entangled at the top of the underground world.
Amidst the thunderous applause of tens of thousands of "Thousand-Handed Ghost Trees," the dragon, its body covered in trees, looked down at the spider-like elf, whose claws were barely the size of its own. As she trembled uncontrollably, the dragon calmly asked:
"Now, can we 'have a proper chat'?"
Chapter 408 Everyone's Troubles
Lady Roseti, her hands resting on the round spider's body, knelt obediently in the night elf's palace. She looked at Latis, who sat cross-legged on her rightful throne, without the slightest displeasure. On the contrary, she lowered her head slightly, making sure her height did not exceed Latis's, before speaking:
"Your Excellency Titania, please allow me to answer your questions. I have long awaited a powerful figure like you to whom I can confide the troubles of the Night Elf tribe..."
"There's no need to be so polite."
Latis scratched his head, recalling his first encounter with this woman in the simulation. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he ultimately had a good time, and he even obtained an important item from her to evolve Jennifer, which sounded a bit like raising a Pokémon...
