I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

But in the forest, a sprite with pointed ears could be blasted out with magic bombardment. Gresta didn't expect this, so she thought at the time—it seemed very interesting.

"And then?" Isabella asked.

"After that... I developed a habit of going to her house to fry fish every day, no... frying 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 completely bullying people..."

"Yeah, I obviously don't like to bully people who are weaker than me, and I want to keep challenging guys who are stronger than me... But gradually, except Miss Gesebrisack, no one seems to be able to The field of magic defeated me. But that child is so cute...with a soft and cute look, and that sad expression, as long as those eyes stare at you...you will always I can't help but want to bully her like that—is it weird?"

"It's very strange..."

Gresta sighed softly and continued.

"Later, the opportunity to change my relationship with her 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 Brisac, and even after the Revolutionary War, this behavior can be sentenced to death.

But in peaceful times, those who need it will be able to provide it. These rare magical creatures are full of valuable materials. Whether they are weapons or handicrafts, they are all high-quality, so even if the country explicitly prohibits trading, there will always be people who take risks. People who want to rely on a chance to make a fortune and have nothing to worry about 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 magic forest, and they are really omnipotent."

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

But by coincidence, after she cast the first spell, a thing that jumped out of the woods just happened to bump into the spell that was cast, and was knocked unconscious with a snap.

The deadly sixth-level offensive spell hits the skull, but the magic resistance of magical creatures is very high, so they just fainted temporarily. Just when Gresta wanted to step forward to check what prize she had won... ..

--call out!

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

At that time, Gresta's reaction was already very fast, but she was only practicing magic in the uninhabited forest. She didn't use the magic storage spell in advance at all, and it was completely too late to recite the spell at this time.

In the end, she couldn't dodge it enough, she could only choose to use the magic wand in her hand to resist this fatal attack, and instantly burst all the magic power in her body from the tip of the wand, forming a rough and inferior barrier.

The efficiency is extremely low and the consumption is very high, but obviously this is the only way to save 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 by Gresta's ear. 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 specially used for magical creatures with extremely high defense against magic. It is a forbidden weapon made to kill them with one blow. It is also a standard configuration for poachers. It has a frontal penetration sixth-order magic shield of terrifying power.And due to its own characteristics, it is also very concealed to assassinate magicians, and it is not easy to be discovered, so just holding this weapon is a serious crime.

"Someone?!" A conversation came from deep in the woods, and with the sound of clattering the bushes, several heavily armed figures with leather helmets covering their faces jumped out.

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

"There is no wound on the body, it was stunned by magic, there are people nearby!" One of the poachers checked the fallen magic creature and immediately reported to the leader.

"Search, we can't keep alive, as long as we have a reason to run away, we all have the possibility of losing our heads!"

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

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

"Positioning, she can't run away."

"Yes!"

The subordinate agreed, took out a strange device from the rucksack, collected the blood on the leaves, and then activated it.

The moment the magic light came on, a clear trajectory shot straight to the crown of the tree not far above the head.

"On top!"

The moment Gresta, who was hiding in the tall treetops, looked at the poachers below, she felt a chill down her spine and her heart sank.

The magic power was exhausted, and he was shot by the magic crossbow arrow. Although it was only brushed aside, 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 this bad state is discovered by them, I am afraid that she is already in danger.

"Damn!"

"Kill her!"

Chapter 47 Death Is Near

The sound of several crossbow arrows piercing through the air came in a blink of an eye, and Gresta jumped down from the branches of the tree in embarrassment, tightly grasping the flying broom in her hand, mobilizing the last trace of magic power to push herself into the distance.

Boom...boom!

Ordinary steel crossbow bolts sank hard into the tree trunk, and some shot into the sky above the forest. 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 didn't care about his own life at all.

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

The magic power was finally exhausted, and the intense dizziness that hit her head instantly made Gresta fall off the broom, and the broom fell to the ground with her, and fell into the bushes.

"Her magic power is exhausted, hurry up and catch up!"

The footsteps of death are approaching her, Gresta has no other emotions except regret at this moment, she just wants to live...

The will to survive supported her to crawl with all her strength, but the footsteps behind her did not move away at all, but approached more quickly.

"Help! Kill me! Who will save me?!"

Gresta could only helplessly make her last cry for help, but in this uninhabited forest, apart from these poachers, the only one who had nothing to do to come here to practice mass destruction magic was herself.

"Help—help..."

Suddenly, with a whoosh, another steel crossbow pierced through the grass, pierced through Gresta's calf, and nailed it to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

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

As the poachers approached Gresta, she looked back at the faces hidden behind masks and goggles.

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

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

The long dagger was drawn out of its sheath, and stabbed at the chest of Gresta, who had been unable to avoid it——

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded from far to near, and the weeds and bushes in front of him were cut in half instantly, and an invisible fatal slash came head-on!

"Great Wind Blade! (Elvish)"

The half-cut attack passed over the head of Gresta, who was lying on the ground, and took away two of the five-member poaching team in an instant. Verdant woods.

Gresta suddenly raised her head and looked forward, and a figure that looked fragile was deftly jumping down from the tall tree canopy.

--is her!

That elf girl...

"So, she saved you, the teacher at the time?" Isabella couldn't help asking after hearing this.

After a slight pause, Gresta shook her head and said, "No... she didn't save me, I just pointed out 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 sworn enemies with poachers, and the eyes of elf girls are burning with anger in the face of those who kill their companions for money.

Gresta stared dumbfounded, it was the first time she saw that kind of look from the girl who looked like a doormat.

Hard, fiery, with a reddish flavour.

"Damn it, 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.

With a few clicks, the arrow slots of the crossbow were replaced with black magic-breaking crossbow arrows, and they were raised towards the elf girl.

And when Gresta was about to remind the girl to be careful, she found in despair that one of the crossbow arrows was aimed at her.

No way?Now that this is the case, he still wants to kill himself by the way? !

It has to be said that this is a very safe decision, because as long as Gresta is killed, even if the elf has not been beaten, the poachers who escaped do not have to worry about being reported.

Because those elves would basically not run out of the jungle, let alone go to the police or something.

But if the elf saves the girl, and when she recovers and escapes back to the city, then there must be no good fruit for people like herself!

There was nothing but despair in Gresta's eyes.

That elf girl has no reason to save herself...she has been bullied by herself all the time.The wind blade just now was simply attacking. 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 cannot be blocked, and the crossbow arrows will only penetrate the magic block and ruthlessly pierce through her heart.

Yes, just a slight pull of the trigger—

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's mouth began to chant magic.

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 chant technique, the soil under the poacher's feet suddenly surged up.

Tier [-] Earth Magic——

"Strangling rock gun!"

The horrifying rock spear cluster pierced by Ka La La smashed the other two poachers into meat paste in an instant, and the broken bows and crossbows were scattered on the grass, covered with blood and internal organs. 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 singing continued, without giving the leader of the poachers any time to breathe.

[Accelerated chant——eighth-order fusion magic]

"....Ice Spear Rain (Elvish)"

"What?!" The leader of the poachers exclaimed in disbelief as he faced the frozen gunpoints that came overwhelmingly, shining with deadly cold light.

Three lines of magic talent... Feng Shui attribute combination - eighth-order fusion magic! ?

This is already a super powerful magic attack against the military level, even if he puts on wings, he can't escape the carpet bombardment of the eighth-level magic. His eyes showed a look of despair and powerlessness, and the corner of his mouth twitched with a wry smile.

"Heh... after all, it was planted..."

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

Susu Susu Susu! !

The sound of ice guns piercing through the flesh, the trees and the soil are intertwined, and in a blink of an eye, this forest is as if it has experienced wars. The transparent ice cones form a dead forest and cover the ground, exuding white mist. Same chill.

Gresta, who folded her head and closed her eyes tightly, opened her eyelids tentatively after a long time. The sharp pain of being pierced in her calf still reminded her that she was not dead yet.

The freezing chill came from her toes, causing Gresta to shrink her toes. Looking back, she realized that spears made of ice had been inserted into the jungle behind her.

"Are you OK?"

Still that soft voice came from the top of her head, the elf girl came to her and squatted down, frowning slightly and looking at Gresta.

"Eh? I... hiss!"

Obviously something is wrong...

----------

"Why save me?"

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

After recovering a bit, using magic to heal her wounds, Gresta and the girl sat side by side under the tree for the first time and chatted.

Before, I used magic to "prank" her, and then laughed and flew away on a broom under her sad expression and eyes. Can you not amplify the range of attack magic at the door of other people's house?"

Gresta apologized to the girl.

"......sorry."

anyway

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 didn't immediately accept Gresta's apology, she just stared at Gresta with those jewel-like blue eyes, and asked, "Why do you want to come here alone to practice magic?"
