I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

However, using magic to explode an elf with pointed ears in the forest did not occur to Gresta. At that time, she thought it was very interesting.

"What happens next?" Isabella asked.

"After that... I developed a habit of going to her house every day to fry fish or... fry elves for fun."

"——Isn't that too bad!?" Isabella's eyes widened in disbelief. She really didn't know how Gresta could still laugh. She almost wanted to cry for that elf lady.

"It's totally bullying..."

"Yeah, I obviously don't like bullying people who are weaker than me. I want to constantly challenge those who are stronger than me... But except for Miss Gesebrisak, it seems that no one can gradually The field of magic defeated me. But that child is so cute... With his soft and cute look, and his sad expression, as long as those eyes stare at you... you will always... I can’t help but want to bully her like that—isn’t it weird?”

"It's very strange..."

Gresta let out a long sigh and continued.

"The opportunity for my relationship to change later was an accident."

A group of poachers are hunting rare magical creatures in the forest. This behavior is a serious violation of the constitution of the Republic of Brissac, and even after the Revolutionary War, this behavior can be punished with the death penalty.

But in peaceful times, when there is a need, there are those who provide it. These rare magical creatures are full of priceless materials. Whether they are used to make weapons or crafts, they are all of the highest quality. Therefore, even if the country explicitly prohibits buying and selling, there will always be people who take risks. People want to make a fortune with one chance and have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

"Because as long as they are caught, they will be sentenced to death, so poachers are the most dangerous existence in the Enchanted Forest, and they are the ones who really do anything."

That day was also the day when Gresta came to the forest to practice magic and have fun with the elf girls as usual.

But by coincidence, after she cast the first spell, something swooped out from the woods and hit the spell, knocking her unconscious.

A deadly sixth-level offensive spell hit her head, but the magic resistance of magical creatures is very high, so she just fainted temporarily. Just when Gresta wanted to step forward curiously to see what big prize she had won... ..

--call out!

A pitch-black crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness and hit the side of Gresta's head.

At that time, Gresta's reaction was already very fast, but she was just practicing magic in the uninhabited forest and did not use magic to store the spell in advance. By this time, it was too late to recite the spell.

In the end, unable to dodge, she could only choose to use the wand in her hand to resist this fatal attack, and all the magic power in her body instantly exploded from the tip of the wand, forming a rough and inferior barrier.

The efficiency is extremely low and the consumption is very large, but it is obviously the only way to save one's life.

But even so, the barrier composed of huge magic power could not completely resist this crossbow.

The arrow only slowed down its speed and grazed Gresta's ear fiercely. In an instant, blood poured out of her ear. There was almost no sting from the injury, and she couldn't help but cover her ears and scream. come out.

Demon-breaking crossbow - This is a forbidden weapon specially designed to kill magical creatures with extremely high defense against magic. It is also a standard configuration for poachers. It has the ability to penetrate the sixth-level magic shield frontally. The terrifying power. And due to its own characteristics, it is also very concealed and difficult to detect when used to assassinate magicians, so just possessing such a weapon is a serious crime.

"Is there someone?!" A conversation came from deep in the woods, and with the sound of brushing aside the bushes, several fully armed figures with leather helmets covering their faces jumped out.

But these poachers clearly heard the woman's screams, but they only found the magical creature fainted on the ground.

"There are no wounds on the body. He was knocked unconscious by magic. There is someone nearby!" One of the poachers immediately reported to the leader after checking the fallen magical creature.

"Search, we can't leave anyone alive. As long as there is a clue, we may all lose our heads!"

Immediately, the poachers spread out and quickly shuttled through the woods, looking for traces of Gresta. One of them found blood stains on the leaves and immediately called his companions.

"I found blood stains. It's human. The arrow just now must have hit her."

"Position, she can't run away."

"yes!"

The subordinate agreed, took out a strange device from his backpack, collected the blood stains on the leaves, and then started it.

The moment the magical light lit up, a clear trajectory shot straight to the tree crown not far above the head.

"Up there!"

The moment Gresta, who was hiding in the canopy of a tall tree, looked at the poachers below, she felt a sudden chill running down her spine and her heart sank deeply.

The magic power was exhausted and he was injured by the Demon-Breaking Crossbow. Although he only scratched the edge, the magic power in his body was still strongly disturbed.

Even if Gresta called the flying medium, she could barely hide in a tree. But now that they discovered her in such a bad state, she was probably in danger.

"Damn it!"

"Kill her!"

Chapter 47 Death is approaching

The fierce sound of several crossbow arrows piercing the air came in an instant. Gresta turned over and jumped down from the branches of the tree in embarrassment. She grabbed the flying broom in her hand and mobilized the last bit of magic power to push herself far away.

Boom boom... boom!

Ordinary steel crossbow arrows penetrated the tree trunks fiercely, and some shot into the sky above the woods. Gresta narrowly escaped the first round of strangulation.

But it was very obvious that he could no longer escape the hysterical pursuit of the poachers. They were all desperadoes and did not care about their own life or death at all.

A clear trace of magic power was connected to her body from the device in the hand of one of the poachers, and Gresta couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

The magic power was finally exhausted, and the intense dizziness that suddenly struck her head made Gresta fall off the broom. The broom also fell to the ground with her, and fell into the trees.

"She's running out of magic power, catch up!"

The footsteps of death were approaching her. At this moment, Gresta had no other emotions except regret. She just wanted to live...

The will to survive supported her crawling as hard as she could, but the footsteps behind her did not move away at all, but approached faster.

"Help! It's a murder! Who will save me?!"

Gresta could only helplessly send out her last cry for help, but in this uninhabited forest, apart from these poachers, the only one who had nothing to do was run over and practice large-scale destruction magic.

"Help - help..."

There was a sudden whoosh, and another steel crossbow arrow pierced the grass, piercing Gresta's calf hard and nailing her to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

First she felt numb, and then the heart-breaking pain from her nerves slammed into her mind, causing Gresta to scream uncontrollably. Her delicate face was covered with tears and snot, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

When the poachers came to Gresta, she looked back at the faces hidden behind masks and goggles.

With cruelty and indifference, there is also a trace of relaxation and comfort.

"She's the only one, kill her."

The long dagger was unsheathed and stabbed into the chest of Gresta, who had been unable to escape——

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded from far away, and the weeds and shrubs in front of him were cut in half in an instant, and an invisible fatal slash came towards him!

"Great Wind Blade! (Elvish language)"

The slashing attack passed over the head of Gresta, who was lying on the ground, and instantly took away two of the five-person poaching team. The no-frills slashing in the waist caused a magnificent splash of blood to splash all over the large area. Green woods.

Gresta suddenly raised her head and looked forward, seeing a frail-looking figure leaping deftly from the high tree crown.

--is her!

That elf girl....

"So, it was she who saved you, the teacher at the time?" Isabella couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

After a slight pause, Gresta shook her head and said: "No...she didn't save me, I just pointed the direction for her along the way."

Elves - they are also magical creatures, but compared to the elk-like things that were just hunted down.

Rather than possessing knowledge and wisdom, there is also...the ability to cast magic.

They are mortal enemies of poachers. Facing those who kill their companions to obtain money, the eyes of the elf girls are burning with anger.

Gresta was stunned. It was the first time she saw that girl who looked like a doormat showing that kind of look.

Hard, firey, with a fiery red flavor.

"Damn, it's an elf... a ruthless guy!" The leader saw the elf girl jumping down from the tree branch and immediately greeted the remaining two people.

After a few clicks, the arrow slot of the crossbow was replaced with a dark demon-breaking crossbow arrow, and it was raised in the direction of the elf girl.

When Gresta was about to remind the girl to be careful, she desperately found that one of the crossbow arrows was pointed at her.

No way? Now that you are in this situation, you still want to kill yourself? !

I have to say that this is a very safe decision, because as long as Gresta is killed, the poachers who escape will not have to worry about being reported even if they have not killed the elf.

Because those elves would hardly run out of the jungle, let alone call the police.

But if the elf rescues the woman and escapes back to the city after she recovers, then she will definitely not be able to enjoy the good things like herself!

There was only despair in Gresta's eyes.

That elf girl had no reason to save herself...she had been bullied by him. The wind blade just now was just a simple attack. If he had raised his head at that time, he would have been cut in half.

dying....!

As long as the poachers lightly pull the trigger, even if the elf girl releases attack magic at the same time, it will not be able to block it. The crossbow arrow will only penetrate the magic block and pierce her heart.

Yes, just pull the trigger lightly -

But it seemed that the elf girl didn't even give them a chance to pull the trigger. Just when the magic-breaking crossbow started to be loaded, the elf girl started chanting magic in her mouth.

She stretched out a hand, an elf species that could cast magic without even using a magical medium, and used its own unique language to communicate with nature.

She has a unique and huge advantage in casting magic with the three attributes of earth, wind, and water. With the help of her accelerated chanting skills, the soil under the poacher's feet suddenly surged.

Sixth level earth magic——

"Strangler Rock Gun!"

The terrifying rock spears that pierced through the bushes instantly chopped the other two poachers into meat paste. The bows and crossbows that were crushed to pieces were also scattered on the grass, covered in blood and viscera fragments. dyed scarlet.

"Dual attribute magic talent?! Damn it...!" The leader of the poachers didn't seem to expect that the young elf in front of him could easily use seventh-level wind and sixth-level earth magic. Only he relied on his intuition and experience. After escaping this fatal attack, the remaining two unlucky guys were not so lucky.

But the girl's chanting continued, giving the poacher leader no time to breathe.

[Accelerated chanting—eighth level fusion magic]

"....Rain of Ice Spears (Elvish)"

"What?!" The poacher leader exclaimed in disbelief when faced with the ice-frozen spear points coming from all over the place, flashing with deadly cold light.

Three series of magic talents...Feng Shui attribute combination-eighth level fusion magic! ?

This was already a super-powerful magic attack against the military level. Even if he had wings, he could not escape the carpet bombardment of the eighth-level magic. There was a look of despair and powerlessness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched in a wry smile.

"Haha... I finally fell into trouble..."

The ice condensed into deadly spikes, pouring down like a torrential rain in the blink of an eye——

Whisper! !

The sounds of ice spears piercing through flesh, trees and soil blended together without distinguishing each other. In a blink of an eye, the woods seemed to have been scarred by war. Transparent ice cones formed a jungle of death, covering the ground, exuding white mist. The same chill.

Gresta held her head and closed her eyes for a long time before tentatively opening her eyelids. The severe pain in her calf still reminded her that she was not dead yet.

A freezing coldness came from her toes, which made Gresta shrink her toes. When she looked back, she realized that spears made of ice had become a jungle behind her.

"Are you OK?"

The soft voice still came from above her head, and the elf girl came to him and squatted down, frowning slightly and looking at Gresta.

"Eh? I...sss-!"

Something is obviously wrong...

——————————

"Why save me?"

"I just didn't kill you or save you, because we are not enemies."

After recovering slightly and using magic to heal her wounds, Gresta and the girl sat side by side under the tree for the first time and started chatting.

In the past, he used magic to "prank" her, and then laughed and flew away on a broomstick under her sad expression and gaze. The only dialogue was limited to "please" when the girl complained to him at the beginning. Can you please stop enlarging the area of ​​​​attack magic at other people's homes?"

Gresta apologized to the girl.

"......sorry."

No matter what

So, she was the one who saved his life, and what he did to her before was indeed... a little too much.

The elf girl did not accept Gresta's apology immediately. She just stared at Gresta with her bright, gem-like blue eyes and asked, "Why do you want to come here to practice magic alone?"
