Chapter 141: The Vengeful Elf(Part 1)
"I...I don’t know who you are, but you’ll pay for that," Growled Jules, as she shakily got back onto her feet and raised her blade.
"Hm? Oh, don’t be stupid, what could you possibly hope to do in your exhausted state? But make no mistake, even if you were at your best, you would stand no chance against me...I have no quarrel with you or any of the other humans, so leave now if you would prefer to live. Just stay out of my way, my targets here are the Elders and so-called Grand Warriors, along with anyone else who dares get in my way," Stated the Elf with a shrug.
"I’m afraid we can’t do that...these are our allies, and we will not abandon them!" Declared Jules, as flames erupted around her blade.
"Oh, well, that’s too bad, then...guess I’ll have to kill you," He sighed in response, before chunks of dirt and grass flew out as he leapt towards Jules rapidly, kicking off the ground with immense force as he drew back his fist and drove it towards her.
She quickly raised the face of her blade up defensively in alarm, right in the nick of time as his fist slammed onto the blade with a sharp clang.
In the next instant, Jules blinked in bewilderment as she found herself hurtling back through the air at an alarming speed, before gritting her teeth and firing out a pressurized burst of flames behind herself to cancel out the momentum, lifting her gaze before stiffening as she spotted the Elf right in front of her, his fists balled together and raised up high.
Suddenly, a wave of ice spikes came rising up towards him, before he swiftly twisted his body across in midair as the spikes closed in on him, before he swung one of his feet forward, planting it against the side of one of the spikes before kicking off of it.
The spike shattered as he kicked off, transitioning into a backflip before landing on the grass with a quiet thud and backing away.
"While we appreciate the sentiment, we cannot let you fight him. This is our problem, it would not be right to allow our guests to be dragged into this," Remarked Zesta, before adding as he helped Jules back onto her feet, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I’m fine, thanks to you. But, like I said, since we’re allies, it’s only natural that we help you, so-...," She began.
"If the situation escalates out of control, then we may request your aid. However, it would be unacceptable to put you at risk if not necessary...and I highly doubt it will come to that. We Grand Warriors are more than capable of handling this ourselves," Chimed in one of the other Grand Warriors, as all of them gathered.
