You Te shivered when he heard Elsa's words.
How could it feel like… being caught with a mistress?
Yet, the two of them only had a friendly relationship where one wished to kill and the other wished to be killed.
He shook his head, not thinking about such things, and reached out to gently pull Emilia up.
Emilia quickly stood up, then extended her slender palm towards Elsa.
At the same time, a mysterious power surged around her, and green light flashed as long, crystalline structures rapidly formed.
These crystals seemed alive, emitting a faint green glow, perfectly shaped and sharp.
The next moment, they shot towards Elsa like arrows released from a bowstring, streaking through the air as green streaks of light, their speed creating a whistling sound, and the air in their path seemed to be cut, emitting a slight hissing sound.
However, Elsa was not an opponent who could be easily hit.
With just a nimble dodge, her body shifted to the side like a phantom.
Her movements were fluid and natural, without any hesitation, as if she had already anticipated the crystals' attack trajectory.
Immediately after, Elsa did not pause; she quickly crouched down, her leg muscles instantly tensing.
With a 'whoosh,' she charged straight towards Emilia like a ghost.
"Puck…" Emilia instinctively called out to High Elf Puck when she saw this, but the magic stone on her chest gave her no response.
This indicated that the time had already passed five in the afternoon.
When encountering danger, Emilia's first thought was always Puck, who had always protected her.
Just as she was about to condense more long, crystalline structures for a counterattack, a figure drew a sword and charged out, colliding with Elsa.
That person was You Te.
Emilia was stunned for a moment; this was the first person other than Puck who had rushed out to protect her.
You Te's divine sword and Elsa's curved blade collided with a crisp 'clang,' and their figures intertwined, quickly engaging in a fierce battle.
You Te's swordsmanship was like the wind; the divine sword danced through the air, creating dazzling sword shadows, each strike carrying the force of breaking wind.
Elsa was equally unwilling to show weakness; her curved blade was like a nimble snake's tongue, weaving freely through the sword shadows, parrying or attacking.
She even exchanged injuries, enduring You Te's sword.
As a human, You Te did not possess the strong regenerative abilities of a half-vampire, and in an exchange of injuries, several cuts quickly appeared on his body. Fortunately, his swordsmanship was superb, and he was able to break Elsa's attacks several times.
For a time, the two of them were evenly matched, making it difficult to determine who was superior.
"Your speed is much slower than before." Amidst the clash of blades, Elsa chuckled and deftly dodged a sword strike.
You Te frowned; now that the divine sword was dormant, his sword-swinging speed was like going from 5G to 2G in his previous life.
But even so, the two of them were evenly matched.
It seemed that in this situation, if Elsa didn't 'generously sacrifice herself,' he really wouldn't be able to obtain death energy from her.
But the current situation was that Elsa was both the employer and the employee.
Moreover, this was in a state similar to jealousy.
The mission Elsa received surely wasn't to kill Emilia, otherwise she wouldn't have entrusted Felt with stealing the Royal Selection emblem.
But now she was going for Emilia to kill, this was definitely jealousy.
Thinking of this, You Te had a bit of a headache.
He seemed to… no, he definitely provoked a very troublesome woman.
He originally thought that getting death energy from Elsa every day would be great.
But he didn't expect a severe yandere to actually stab his 'female friends'.
Now the benefits and dangers were fifty-fifty, after all, the 'female friends' You Te wanted to conquer were not few.
Is this what the older generation often said about seeking wealth in danger?
"Getting distracted in battle isn't a good habit, you know." Elsa quickly licked the corner of her mouth, then her whole body melted into the shadows, and the next second she emerged from beside Emilia.
You Te's pupils constricted, and he immediately threw his sword.
With a 'clang,' the curved blade and the divine sword collided again.
You Te immediately pounced forward, trying to catch his sword.
Seeing this, Elsa's mouth curved upwards, and with a sudden side-step, using the momentum from her entanglement with You Te, she raised the curved blade high and slashed fiercely towards You Te's stomach.
You Te sensed the approaching danger, pushed Emilia away, and quickly retreated.
However, Elsa's attack did not stop there.
She quickly pursued, but did not use her blade; instead, she twisted her body, and one leg, like a sharp axe, swung towards You Te's waist.
This kick was both fast and brutal. You Te couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard. A sharp pain spread throughout his body, and the immense impact sent him flying sideways uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall.
Elsa's figure flickered like a ghost, and at some point, several hidden weapons appeared in her hand.
With a flick of her arm, several hidden weapons shot towards You Te like deadly flying stars.
The hidden weapons traced several deadly arcs in the air, accurately hitting You Te's sword-wielding arm.
This was Elsa's goal; she didn't really want to kill You Te, so she quickly retracted her blade just now, only wanting him to temporarily lose his combat ability.
You Te Felt a sharp pain in his arm, as if several hot branding irons had struck him simultaneously.
Blood began to well up from the wound, and the crimson blood gradually collected into a small puddle on the ground.
Damn it....
You Te gasped in pain.
Elsa's strength was terrifying; he didn't expect that besides her frightening regenerative ability, she could also traverse shadows. She truly lived up to her reputation as a T1-level assassin in the kingdom.
You Te had to protect several people, so he was constrained, and to make matters worse, the divine sword had fallen into slumber after blocking the Witch of Envy.
Of course, currently only the Witch of Envy and Reinhardt have the strength to suppress the first stage of the divine sword.
Should he forcibly awaken the divine sword? But the cost is a bit high…
Let's see if there's any other turning point. If not, then there's no other choice.
"You Te!" Emilia cried out worriedly and then jogged over, preparing to cast healing magic on him.
But Elsa didn't give her that chance; she swung her curved blade and charged towards her, aiming for her stomach.
A half-elf's intestines would surely have a unique warmth.
"Rom!" Felt shouted, then threw her small knife at the moving Elsa, but it was easily blocked.
At the same time, Rom swung his large club and leaped from the bar. Although his physique was enormous, his speed was unexpectedly fast.
The large club, accompanied by whistling wind, smashed heavily towards Elsa.
With a loud 'boom,' the large club slammed heavily onto the wooden floor.
In an instant, the wooden floor shattered like fragile thin ice, and countless wood splinters flew up, forming a chaotic cloud of wood dust in the air.
But this blow did not hit the agile Elsa.
She was like a ghost, lightly leaping backward and dodging to the side the moment the club fell.
"Rom, be careful!"
Rom heard Felt's warning from behind him, and his body reacted instantly, instinctively holding the massive club horizontally in front of him, his arms gripping both ends tightly, muscles bulging like two small hills.
But it still couldn't block the sharp curved blade.
Accompanied by a dull cracking sound, the large club was cleanly cut into two halves.
The broken parts flew to both sides, and before they even hit the ground, a long wound appeared on Rom's stomach.
"Rom!!!" Felt rushed anxiously towards Rom, who was clutching his stomach and retreating.
"I'm fine…" Rom gritted his teeth and said, then grabbed Felt, threw her out the nearby window, and then shouted, "Go quickly to the street and call the patrol soldiers!"
Actually, what he wanted to shout was—run away.
But Rom knew that if he said that, Felt would definitely stay.
He knew this child too well.
"Rom!" Felt stood up, instinctively wanting to re-enter the warehouse through the window.
"Go get help quickly! Otherwise, I'll be dead!" Rom shouted anxiously, afraid that Felt would do something foolish.
Hearing this, Felt's eyes welled up with tears, then she turned and ran, shouting for help as she ran, asking if anyone could come and help.
Elsa didn't pursue Felt; she quickly licked her lips and praised Rom, saying,
"You're quite good."
With that, she raised her curved blade, intending to cut open his stomach.
Natsuki Subaru had watched from beginning to end, his face filled with terror, his legs trembling, experiencing death so closely for the first time.
So this was the cruelty of another world.
But his upbringing from his previous life wouldn't allow him to stand by and do nothing.
"Wait!" Natsuki Subaru swallowed and suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, Elsa looked at him and chuckled, "No need to rush, it'll be your turn soon."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru became even more terrified, but he still forced himself to suppress his instincts, his fingers trembling as he pulled out his phone from his pocket, and said to Elsa:
"This… this is a very expensive magic tool… it's worth a lot…"
"As long as you let us go… I'll give you this magic tool…"
Saying that, Natsuki Subaru opened the camera function and took a picture.
Then he turned the screen towards Elsa, stammering and awkwardly laughing, "See, I'm not lying, this really is a very expensive magic tool."
Elsa saw a mobile phone for the first time, and seeing her own photo inside, she was slightly surprised, then nodded:
"This item is indeed very interesting."
After a pause, she supported her face with one hand and chuckled, "But if I kill you, this item will still be mine."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru's face turned as ugly as it could be.
Swallowing, he threw his phone at Elsa, then threw everything he could get his hands on at her.
Then he shouted, "Emilia-tan, run!"
