He has realized that his end is in sight. By the time the Dark Elf looked up, the ice blades had already fallen to his head.
The Ice blades pierced through his head and body.
Blood immediately gushed out and merged with the rainwater.
"(NO!)" The female Dark Elf screamed in shock seeing him die before her eyes.
Aurdis bit her lip too. The feeling of guilt lingers in her heart every time she ends another being's life.
But Aurdis must remain realistic. Right now, she has to kill them or she will be killed.
Aurdis turned towards the female Dark Elf. She couldn't see her true face because it was still covered by the mask.
However, Aurdis could see the sadness and misery in her body movements.
Her hands stretched forward as if to reach her friend. The hand shook and stopped in the air. She can't stretch it any longer or let it fall.
Aurdis bit her lower lip again. No matter how guilty she feels, her fighting instincts still functioned well.
Now was the perfect time to attack her because she was caught off guard.
Aurdis shot towards her while instantly forming ice blades around her.
Her Magic Energy was running low so she needed to finish this as quickly as possible.
Aurdis didn't know what happened to the fight between Erend and their leader.
It doesn't matter now. Aurdis was sure that he was fine.
Aurdis moved her hands forward. The ice blades that had formed around her immediately shot toward the female Dark Elf.
But it turns out she is aware of her approach.
The female Dark Elf burned with a vengeance when her eyes found Aurdis again. Daggers appeared in both of her hands.
Green Magic aura began to flow into the daggers.
What she did was very similar to what the Dark Elf who turned into a monster did earlier.
'No! That can't happen!'
Aurdis accelerated her speed towards the Dark Elf. She also accelerated the speed of the ice blades she controlled.
The dozens of ice blades shot toward the female Dark Elf become faster. But it couldn't keep up with the speed her daggers stabbed into the Dark Elf's body.
"(You will pay for all this!)" The female Dark Elf said through gritted teeth. Her voice came out as a vengeful hiss and growl.
She raised her dagger a little higher, then she aimed it at her chest and stomach. Just like what the Dark Elf leader did earlier.
However, suddenly Erend appeared and caught her.
Dragon's wings flapped fiercely pushing Erend's body to an incredible speed.
Erend grabbed the female Dark Elf and carried her flying before she could thrust her dagger.
After bringing her up, Erend immediately swooped down.
Erend slammed her into the ground. The shockwave spread. Vibrating the ground, water, and wind in the surroundings.
After that, Erend grabbed her hand and snatched her dagger.
The female Dark Elf was helpless and could only let her dagger be snatched away.
Erend threw the daggers away. Then looked at her while standing.
The Female Dark Elf looked at Erend. Her eyes showed great anger. But those eyes also express despair.
"(Kill me now, Dragon!)" She said.
"I don't understand what you're saying," Erend replied.
Not long after, Aurdis came hovering beside Erend.
"You okay?" Erend asked while looking at her worriedly.
Aurdis nodded her head with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm fine."
After that, they both looked at the Dark Elf who was lying in front of them.
She didn't even bother to get up anymore. All of her friends had died before her own eyes.
Regret began to come to her like a torrential rain that poured down right now.
If only they didn't accept this assignment.
But it's too late for regret now. There was nothing she could do but wait for death to come and take her. Like they take their friends.
"(Laston sent you here?)" Aurdis asked her.
"(I don't want to answer you. Kill me now!)" the female Dark Elf said.
Aurdis was silent. She looked doubtful.
"What did she say?" Erend asked.
"She said we should just kill her because she won't say anything," Aurdis replied.
"Isn't it obvious that Laston sent them? Something must have happened at the palace so your uncle would know you were here," Erend replied.
Aurdis had also thought that it had indeed happened.
Otherwise, Laston couldn't possibly know where she was going.
Even so, at first, she and Saeldir had suspected that Laston would find out sooner or later.
They never expected that this journey would remain a secret until she arrived in Dawnwood.
Aurdis looked again at the female Dark Elf who had lost her will to live.
"We still have to kill her, huh," Aurdis said.
Erend stretched his hand towards the Dark Elf.
There was no pity in his eyes at all. Or whatever it is that shows sympathy.
The Dark Elf was an assassin, so it was only natural that she be killed. It's basically part of her job.
Erend wasn't stupid enough to let her get away out of pity.
Aurdis might be able to do it. But he couldn't. If they let her live now, then she would only come back with an even bigger grudge.
[ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]
Flames gush from Erend's hand enveloping the Dark Elf.
A very heartbreaking scream rang out as the flames enveloped her.
But there was no resistance whatsoever from her. A thin white mist is created when raindrops touch Erend's flames.
The scream lasted for a few more seconds.
Before finally the sound subsided and disappeared entirely.
Erend's extremely hot flames finally ended the Dark Elf's life in a matter of seconds.
Erend deactivated his Skill.
When the flames disappeared, all that was left was the Dark Elf's scorched skeleton.
The rain poured down until her brittle bones began to crumble.
Aurdis exhaled heavily. This fight is finally over.
It felt like the falling rain washed away her pain and fear.
