I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

This made Claire feel even more uneasy, and when she combined this with what Ji Lin and the others had told her about the Elf Kings going berserk... Claire couldn't help but clench her fists.

Chapter 764 [The Decisive Round Begins]

After informing them of the stage for the Elf Sword Dance Festival, the shrine maidens also informed the participating teams about the event.

The rules that the Elf King has decided upon this time are called the "Flame Blade Chaos".

The time limit is three days. It is basically a survival battle held in the venue, just like "Ru Lan's Chaotic Dance". However, the difference is that the team members will be teleported to different locations.

This is very disadvantageous for Yuhaka and the others, since Fiana among them does not have the ability to summon spirits.

"In other words, it's necessary to find your teammates as quickly as possible and assemble the team rapidly, which makes it easier to create opportunities to defeat the enemy team's Pokémon one by one..."

Although it sounds simple, finding other people in an unknown place is still quite troublesome.

Smack smack smack~

As Claire was deep in thought, the sound of chewing beside her interrupted her thoughts. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yuhaka eating something.

While eating herbivorous dragon jerky, Yuhaka suddenly noticed Claire's gaze. Its tail stood up, and even its cat ears stood up. Yuhaka looked left and right and saw Claire staring at it.

Yuhaka wagged its tail and looked at Claire with a puzzled expression. Yuhaka didn't know why Claire was staring at it, but it took out a piece of herbivorous dragon jerky and gave it to Claire.

When Claire saw Yuhaka take out a piece of jerky for her, she waved her hand. Then, as if remembering something, Claire suddenly realized that Yuhaka could fly.

So Claire came up with a good idea.

...........................................................................

A day later, Yuhaka and Claire arrived, led by the priestess. Because a special teleportation magic was used this time, the teleportation to the venue did not take place in the Great Temple, but in one of the four sanctuaries in the forest.

On the way to the shrine, Claire checked their plans with the others again. As she walked, she held up one finger and said to them:

"Listen up, everyone. Now for the final confirmation. After being teleported to the field, the top priority is to reunite with your teammates. Avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible before the team is assembled, even if the opponent is only one person."

Claire then added:

"Of course, except for Youyou."

After all, here, Yuhaka's strength far surpasses that of others. Whether it's one-on-one or one-on-five, Yuhaka can crush other Pokémon teams in an overwhelming manner.

This judgment was based on Claire's knowledge of how terrifying Eohaka's strength was. Although she couldn't say for sure how strong the spirit users of the Purgatory Apostles were, they couldn't possibly be stronger than Eohaka.

But they are different. Although they are excellent spirit users, it would still be difficult for them to win in a one-on-one battle against the ace-level spirit users participating in this year's Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

Putting aside the unidentified Ren Ashbell, their chances of winning in a one-on-one fight would be very low if they faced opponents like the dragon knight Leora and the paladin Luminaris.

"correct!"

Claire looked towards Fiana as if she had just remembered something and said:

"Fiana, once you get there, get ready. After Youyou fires the signal flare, send a signal flare to Youyou, and she will fly over to find you."

Upon hearing Claire's words, Fiana nodded in understanding, since Fiana herself didn't have much combat power.

Fiana will be unlucky no matter who she encounters. Apart from Yuhaka, who can find Fiana the fastest, no one else will be able to find her.

Well... it's best to avoid unnecessary battles and rejoin the team as soon as possible.

After walking for several tens of minutes while discussing, the priestess who was leading the way stopped in front of a small shrine in a forest and said to Yuhaka and the others:

"Here we are."

Then, under the watchful eyes of Yuhaka and the others, the priestess opened the door of the sanctuary. After Yuhaka and the others went inside, they saw five magic squares drawn on the stone floor, which were shimmering with a faint light.

Without a doubt, that was the teleportation magic used for teleportation.

At this time, Claire also instructed everyone to carry the bare minimum of food and supplies, except for Ehaka and Linslet. Ehaka has a dimensional portal that can hold a lot of things, and Linslet's Fenrir is something similar to a dimensional stomach.

Afterwards, the priestess handed out spirit ore containing a teleportation spell to everyone.

The rules are the same as the last time, Ru Lan Luanwu: defeat your opponent, obtain their magic stone for one minute, or destroy their magic stone to eliminate them.

However, there can only be one winning team this time.

"May the solitary elven priestess be blessed with the protection of the [Elf King]!"

With the solemn announcement of the Priestess, the teleportation magic beneath Claire and the others was activated.

Then, Yuhaka and the others turned into particles of light starting from their toes and disappeared from the sanctuary.

Located in the ancient ruins of Megidor...

Yuhaka looked around at the massive urban ruins with an "OwO" expression. He wasn't particularly interested in the ruins and quickly jumped to the highest point of the urban ruins.

Here, Yhwach conjured Baladion's hunting bow and fired a flaming arrow into the sky, which flew into the air and exploded with a loud bang.

After a while, signals like fireworks shot into the sky in the distance, and then exploded in the air with a pop, just like fireworks.

"OwO!"

Upon hearing the explosion, Yuhaka looked towards the source of the sound. Soon, an engine jet appeared on Yuhaka's waist, and with the powerful wind generated by the engine jet, Yuhaka flew away like an arrow.

Soon, Yuhaka flew to the location where Fiana had sent the signal. However, after Yuhaka landed at the location, he did not see Fiana there, which puzzled him. He scratched his head, but at that moment, Fiana's scream came from not far away.

Chapter 765 [It's me again, Berserker!]

"Don't come any closer!!"

In the crooked alleys of the ruined city, where trees grow crookedly, Fiana is fleeing in a disheveled state. Behind her, there are chilling wrists that seem like shadows, reaching out to her from all directions.

These shadowy figures are the spirits of the elves who perished in the past, and are known as "useless elves." (It sounds like they're being called trash...)

Spirits that perish with excessive resentment sometimes lose their spirit and become undead, wandering the land with intense hostility towards the living.

"Uuuuuuu——!!"

The spirits uttered hateful cries as they reached out to grab Fiana, but Fiana dodged the hands that came at her from all directions with her agility.

Fiana was also very grateful that she had received good physical training with Yuhaka, otherwise she would have been caught by those terrible useless elves before she had run for very long.

Then, Fiana took out a spirit ore from her pouch, preparing to unleash a flash attack on the useless spirits, when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the sky, startling Fiana. Immediately afterward, with a "thud!", Yuhaka descended from the sky and landed on the useless spirits behind Fiana, instantly wiping out a large group of them.

When Fiana saw Yuhaka coming over, she finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if she would finally be free from running.

After Ehaka landed from the sky, he noticed the useless Pokémon around him. Although Ehaka didn't know what those shadow-like things were, the strong hostility emanating from them told him that they wanted to fight him.

Yuhaka conjured the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and the Baradion Divine Sword, wielding them towards the useless elves. The sword energy, imbued with flames and light, directly cleaved the two useless elves in two.

Fiana also took the opportunity to come to Yuhaka's side, and Fiana quickly said to Yuhaka:

"Youyou, we need to leave this place quickly, there are too many useless elves here!"

“OwO?”

Hearing Fiana's words, Yuhaka looked somewhat puzzled. Then, Ester, who was in Yuhaka's hand, reminded him, saying:

"Master, the abandoned elves around here have gathered again."

Just as Ester said, the area where the useless elves had been eliminated by Eyjafjalla was quickly covered by the arriving useless elves, which shows how many useless elves there were in the area.

Ehaka decided not to get entangled with these useless elves, since they couldn't be eaten and wouldn't drop anything delicious. So Ehaka took Fiana and left the place.

After quickly leading Fiana to a place free of useless Pokémon, Fiana patted her chest and said to Eohaka:

"Phew~ That really scared me. Thank you, Youyou."

Hearing Fiana's words, Yuhaka puffed out his chest with a proud expression and said:

You're welcome =w=~

Seeing Yuhaka's expression, Fiana couldn't help but smile. However, thinking of something else, Fiana clapped her hands and said:

"By the way, Youyou, can you find Claire and the others? We need to meet up with them quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous if they are in the same situation."

Hearing Fiana's words, Yuhaka nodded. Then, Yuhaka sniffed the scents carried by the wind and quickly smelled one of the people's questions. He then threw Fiana onto his back and flew off in that direction with a thud.

Of course, Fiana screaming behind him was not something Yuhaka was concerned about.

.................................................................................

At a dilapidated clock tower on the city wall surrounding the ruined capital, where strange trees grew, Restia, dressed in a dark dress, sat looking at the wandering abandoned elves below with a bored expression.

"So boring, so boring... Why hasn't Lily come yet...?"

Restia, who was sitting there, stretched and then paused for a moment. Then, with a strange smile, she turned to look at the figure standing not far behind her at the entrance of the clock tower and said:

"Oh dear, it seems an uninvited guest has arrived~"

Standing not far behind Restia was a female knight with golden hair, wielding a radiant holy sword.

This young female knight is none other than Luminaris Saint Reichette, the leader of the Holy Spirit Knights.

Upon seeing Luminaris approach, Restia turned around, stood up, and looked at Luminaris, saying:

"Oh my gosh~ Isn't this our famous Miss Winner of the previous Spirit Sword Dance Festival? What brings you here to see me?"

Luminaris frowned slightly at Restia's provocative words, but she didn't pay them much attention. The young knight quickly assumed a sword stance and charged towards Restia. At that moment, Restia pointed and said with an enigmatic smile:

“Cut her down, Berserker.”

As soon as Restia finished speaking, a figure roared "Awoooooo!!" and rushed towards Luminaris from the side. Luminaris was startled by the sudden appearance of the dark figure, but she quickly reacted and tried to block the attack with her sword.

The instant she came into contact with the opponent's attack, Luminaris felt as if she had been hit by a giant battering ram. She was immediately sent flying and crashed into the wall. Her weapon fell from her hand, and with her hair disheveled, Luminaris was seeing stars and was in a daze.

"Cough cough cough! What... what's going on...?"

Luminaris looked up at the figure standing in front of Restia. The figure was covered by a black, hazy, smoke-like substance, making it impossible to see what was inside. The only thing that could be seen was the terrifying red V-shaped light emanating from the head.

Restia also said with a smile:

"Oh dear, it seems our previous winner of the Elf Sword Dance Festival was just a name without substance. She looks like she's about to collapse. Well then, Berserker, knock her out."

Upon hearing the order, Berserker walked heavily toward Luminaris, and with a heavy thud, Luminaris was knocked unconscious.

Chapter 766 [The Holy Grail, Daily a Dislike]

After Luminaris was knocked unconscious, at that moment, a geometric pattern resembling a magic circle appeared not far behind Restia. Soon, an elven-like girl appeared in the magic circle. She wore a purple robe and an indigo-colored hooded cloak, and held a staff that looked like that of a magician.

"Oh, you're finally here, Lily! I've been waiting for so long!"

Upon hearing Restia's words, the fairy girl called Lily lowered her head slightly and apologized:

"I apologize, Lady Linslet. I was busy setting up the defenses and receiving Lady Lu... Lady Lian and the others, so I arrived a little late."

Restia waved her hand dismissively at Lily's explanation, saying:

"Alright, I'm not blaming you. Let's go to the base first. Oh, and remember to bring that girl with us."
