You are all my wings...

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the first layer, the second layer...

Even with the final shadow shield, the spear of light did not stop, continuing its trajectory toward Leon.

Leon continued casting magic, Shadow Blade!

Magic -1.

The shadows in his palm converged and transformed into the shape of a longsword, which he then slashed fiercely at the spear of light.

BOOM!!!

The light and shadow effects were explosive.

The gun of judgment has been stopped!

Iris watched as Leon deflected her Judgment Spear with a series of combos, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Her move can be considered a top-tier, beginner-level offensive spell.

With the added elemental enhancements and her own pure-blooded elf aura, her power rivals that of a mid-level offensive spell.

But before Iris could be surprised for long, another cold wave suddenly swept in from the front.

It was the offensive magic that Leon launched quickly after his defense.

The speed at which it switched between offense and defense far exceeded Iris's expectations.

Keep in mind that since the start of the game, Leon's magical power has consumed at least 16 points of magic power!

This is far beyond the limit of a typical first-level achievement, isn't it?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

A gale swept in, carrying thirty-five ice projectiles.

Iris had no choice but to activate her defensive shield magic again to resist this wave of pseudo-intermediate magic.

Bang bang bang!!

Accelerated by the gale, the ice bullets unleashed astonishing power, with 21 of them hitting the light shield this time.

Iris maintained the light shield with both hands, feeling the backlash from the magic. She was surprised; this cold wave was clearly more powerful than the last one.

Just as she was preparing to flap her wings and retreat to deflect the subsequent impact.

suddenly--

Fifteen fireballs suddenly rained down.

It was Leon who immediately followed up with his magic, Fireball x3!

The cold wave, in an environment of alternating cold and warm conditions, generated strong winds and formed small tornadoes.

It was Lyon who used three basic spells in succession to create a pseudo-intermediate wind spell, a tornado!

This move is even more effective than the cold wave.

The wind is stronger, the trajectory is more complex, and it is difficult to predict!

The subsequent fireballs, propelled by the tornadoes, swiftly spiraled forward. Eight of them struck the defensive shield, while seven, spiraling around it, directly hit Iris.

Boom!

Iris's physical body took the hit, her light wings on her shoulders shattered, and she fell from mid-air.

The moment she was hit, Iris's mind went blank.

They still had plenty of magic left, but they still lost!

The magic power he just used in his combo attacks has probably exceeded the second-tier limit!

But his aura and condition clearly indicated that he was a first-level mage!

And how do you even manage to execute combos without any breaks in between?

Amidst a series of questions and shocks, she even forgot that she was falling from a height of over twenty meters.

Even a Tier 3 pureblood elf would lose a hand or foot if falling from that height without any buffer.

Only at the very last moment did Iris realize what was happening and prepare to take action to deflect the impact.

But at this point, everything that could be done seemed too late.

She could only protect her head with her arms before the final impact.

clamor.

A light, soft sound.

Iris felt as if her body was being held by an extremely gentle force. When she looked up, she saw Lyon's handsome face staring at her with a victorious smile.

And she found herself being carried in a princess carry by Leon.

“Miss Iris, it seems you’ve lost to me again.”

This scene was deeply imprinted in Iris's heart.

Her face was flushed.

Because she had directly taken the magical attack with her bare body, her health had dropped drastically. She tried to struggle away from Leon's embrace, but she uncontrollably fainted.

……

The next day, inside a magnificent mansion.

Bright sunlight streamed through the clean windowsill and fell onto a pure white wooden bed.

On the bed lay a sleeping elf dressed in a dark, shawl-like robe.

Her eyelashes were thick and long, and her features were beautiful, with proportions as perfect as a painting.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing Elizabeth's eyelashes to flutter. She then slowly opened her eyes, revealing emerald-yellow pupils.

She looked bewildered, then remembered what happened last night and suddenly sat up.

Then she noticed the pajamas she was wearing, and her expression changed drastically!

This is not my room!

Who helped me change into my pajamas?!

Could it be Lyon?

How could he do this?!

"Wow, Iris, you're awake?"

At the doorway, a delicate-looking, long-eared elf with dark blue hair was holding a plate and looking over in surprise.

Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face, Iris breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Leon hadn't changed her into the pajamas.

But while I breathed a sigh of relief, I also felt a strange sense of loss.

The elf before her was her colleague, nearly twice her age, named Grani E. Foullen, a fourth-order mage and one of the diplomats sent to the Kingdom of Horshah by the Elven Holy Land.

Of course, because elves are long-lived creatures, they grow slowly, so their appearances are more like those of a beautiful human girl in her sixteens.

Pureblood elves typically begin to resemble human women in their early twenties after they reach the age of one hundred.

How did I end up here?

"Iris asked."

"Have you forgotten? It was your friend Leon who brought you here. You actually know such a handsome human. You're quick on your feet. I never thought someone as arrogant as you would find a human partner so soon. Tsk tsk tsk."

Granny winked at Elizabeth.

"What are you saying! We're not in that kind of relationship!"

Iris quickly denied it.

"Oh? Not that kind of relationship? How about I make a move on him? He's really good, he hit my strike zone hard."

"You must be out of your mind, Grani. Didn't you always oppose the marriage decree from the Holy Land?"

"I was wrong. I had prejudices against humanity before."

Grani looked completely infatuated.

Iris was speechless. Although her initial impression of Leon Belon had indeed changed, she still had some doubts about him and felt that he might be plotting something against her.

Either the playboy is hunting for women, or he's genuinely teaming up with that perverted Brierita to deliberately tease her.

When I was little, my mother taught me never to be easily fooled by handsome men!

Thinking this way, she changed the subject to the issue that concerned her most at the moment:

"After he brought me here, what happened in between? How did he find you? And how did he explain things to you?"

Chapter Eleven: Elizabeth, you're so easy to fool.

"What happened? Are you concerned?"

Grani moved closer to Elizabeth, a playful look on her face.

“I don’t care what Lyon did back then! I only care about the cause and effect of things! You see, there are three kilometers between my mansion and yours, that’s not something you can just bump into on the street!”

Iris looked away from Grani's wicked grin.

Granny reached out and pinched Elizabeth's cheek.

"Tsk tsk tsk, her face is all hot, she's so innocent."

Iris waved Grani's hand away, her face dark.

"Speak quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Seeing that Iris was about to lose her temper, Granny stopped teasing her.

Elise is aloof to most people, but she finds it hard to resist Grani's mischievous nature.

"At that time, I was doing my daily magic training, and it was probably close to 1 a.m.

Grani then recounted the story in detail:

Then the familiar at the door suddenly brought news that a human was holding an elf and asked to see him.

"Holding?"

Elizabeth paused for a moment.

"Otherwise, you would have fainted at the time."

"Okay, you can continue."

"I used a detection spell and saw it was you! So I went outside to check. Then Leon started introducing you, and guess what he said?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Haha, okay, he said he's your lover."

"???"

Elizabeth suddenly grabbed Granny by the collar:

"He... he really said that? How could he say that?"

"Hehehe, Iris, you're so easy to fool. Actually, he said he was your teammate in the battle group."

"Hmph! If you keep doing that, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"Oh, my dear Iris, don't be like that, it was just a little joke, just to have some fun."

"Then keep talking! Don't make jokes like that again!"

"There's nothing more to it. After all, he was so polite and showed his identity as a court magician. Even if he came late, he should have been received, right? Besides, he even brought you here."

"Okay, so you don't even know how he found you?"

"He didn't say, but I guess since he's your friend, he must know about your friendships, right? It's not surprising that he knows you're close to me."
