Chapter 574 574 399 Elf Team's Attack_2

Chapter 574: Chapter 399: Elf Team’s Attack_2 Chapter 574: Chapter 399: Elf Team’s Attack_2 As a gemstone inlayer, she focused on her beloved work, guarding her little happiness.

Although she had left the Elf Forest for a long time, as an elf, she still had confidence in her performance within the forest.

However, Lis seemed to adapt to the forest much better than she did. Although, as a warrior, he certainly had much more strength than she did as a mage, but should the gap really be this large?

Moreover, Lis had noticed some of the subtle tricks she used while moving through the forest.

Even with the innate agility of elves and bonuses to movement in the forest, she was panting heavily while Lis still looked at ease.

“This doesn’t count…”

Swoosh~thwack!

...

Before she could finish speaking, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard.

In an instant, a longsword flickering with cold light appeared in Lis’s hand, knocking down the arrow shot toward him.

Looking at the arrow that fell at his feet, Lis slightly furrowed his brow.

The sharp, triangular arrowhead, the black ironwood shaft, the emerald feathers.

These were the type of arrows often used by Elf Rangers!

What’s going on?

However, based on the force transmitted from the arrow just now, it should have been shot by a Silver-level Elf Ranger.

“What’s going on?”

Cecil, who had been slow to react, quickly stood up and pulled out a green magic wand from her storage ring, tightly grasping it in her hand.

“Is it an attacker?”

Body slightly bent, Cecil watched the surroundings guardedly.

Lis looked at Cecil’s stand; the wand in her hand closely resembled the Jade Wand he used, it should also be a Gold-level high-level magic wand.

But seeing Cecil’s nervous demeanor, she seemed like a complete novice, even more so than Risa when she first met Lis.

She hadn’t even realized that the arrow that was used in the attack was of Elven make.

“It’s unclear, stay close to me.”

Lis said to Cecil.

In his perception, three figures were rapidly approaching him and Cecil, and it was clear from their auras that they were all elves.

But the Elf who shot the arrow at him did not come over; instead, they stayed at a distance, seemingly still aiming at Lis.

Why the sudden attack on me?

Lis was curious, but he did not feel threatened.

After all, these elves appeared to be Silver-level Professionals by their auras, which was not even a nuisance to Lis now.

Normally, even if the Elf Clan was hostile to outsiders entering the Elf Forest, and even if the relationship between the Elf Clan and the Human Clan was tense, they wouldn’t attack on sight, right?

Could it be…

Lis glanced at Cecil by his side and had a guess in his mind.

Before Cecil could react, three figures already appeared in front of Lis and Cecil.

Two of the figures launched a rapid attack towards Lis, while the other figure charged towards Cecil.

Lis frowned as he watched the female Elf rushing towards Cecil. Though he had a hunch about their motive, it didn’t mean he would allow these elves to act freely.

After all, with the current situation, he couldn’t be sure that those attacking Cecil didn’t include elves.

Lis did not want the clue that had come with difficulty to be cut off so easily.

Whoosh!

Lis took out a round shield from the storage ring and smashed it towards the female Elf attacking Cecil, the sound of air tearing apart erupted violently.

“What?”

Erza’s face changed drastically, for as an Elf Ranger, she had never seen this form of attack before.

Without even touching, she already felt the terrifying force on the shield rushing through the air.

What’s this situation?

Instantly, she lost the courage to catch the shield and quickly leaped backwards to evade Lis’s attack.

Bang!

The shield smashed into the ground not far away, kicking up a cloud of dark green moss and dirt, the huge noise even startling a flock of birds in the forest far away.

Lis did not chase after the retreating Elf Ranger, instead, he confronted the remaining two Elf Professionals head-on.

The remaining two elves were both males, and with Lis’s keen eyesight, he quickly confirmed their professions.

One was an elf warrior dressed in dark green armor, holding a slender longsword in his hand.

Unlike the burly human warriors, elf warriors of the Elf Clan are more lithe, preferring to master exquisite combat skills and win battles through adept combat techniques.

Even so, warrior professionals among the elves were quite rare, and he hadn’t expected to encounter one here.

The other was a bald martial monk wearing simple clothes, with hands clasped and no weapons in hand.

To be honest, even among the handsome men and beautiful women of the Elf Clan, being bald was a bit unsightly, but there was a special aura about him.

It seemed that having seen Lis’s recent attack, the two elves approaching him wore serious expressions, guarded, yet did not stop their attack.

“Ah ah!”

Cecil noticed what was happening in front of her and frantically prepared.

The Magic Light of her magic wand flickered, and Lis, standing in front of her, felt several beneficial magics being cast on him.

However, the enhancements were somewhat negligible for him.

After all, for his current attribute values, the beneficial magics cast by a Silver Mage were quite ordinary.

Lis didn’t care, leaping forward, his longsword aiming straight for the approaching elf warrior.

With his crushing attribute advantage at the Silver Level, his movements appeared to the two elves as if frames had been skipped; he appeared in front of them in an instant.

Clang~

The humming sound rose through the woods as Lis’s longsword struck directly on the elf warrior’s thin sword.

Seemingly unable to withstand the force, the elf’s thin sword was split in two.

The elf warrior Pedros had no time to be surprised before he felt an irresistible force coming from in front of him; his body was violently thrown backward.

Rustle rustle~

Pedros crashed directly through the large tree behind him, and the fallen tree canopy completely enveloped his body.

Since Lis was unclear about the intentions of these elves, he had held back, and at most, the elf warrior might be paralyzed for a while.

If Lis had used his full strength, the handsome elf could have instantly turned to mush.

The elf monk Gardley noticed his companion’s predicament, his nerves stretched to the limit.

At this moment, he realized the terror of the man before him; there was no chance for them to counter or resist.

He felt no substantial aura from the man; could he be a Gold-leveled powerhouse?

Why would a Gold-leveled warrior be here capturing elves? Was he one of those infamous Slave Capturing Teams?

Although he realized the situation, retreating was impossible.

His companions were here, and the pride of the elves wouldn’t allow him to abandon his friends and flee like a coward.

All he could do was hope that in the time he bought, Corette would notice something wrong and manage to quickly get Lord Baldivia to come.

Gardley pushed his hands forward, preparing to use the martial monk’s skill to control Lis.

As Gardley mobilized his inner strength, he discovered that Lis, who had just kicked Pedros away, suddenly appeared before him, his left hand snatching Gardley’s hands.

Before he could resist, a massive force pressed down on the joints of his hands.

Gardley wanted to struggle, but found the fair palms of the man before him as tough as well-tempered steel, leaving him no room to resist.

“Mmm…”

An intense pain spread, and Gardley knelt down, his face pale with agony.

“Hm?”

Lis sensed a threat coming from behind and thrust the longsword in his right hand backward.

The elf ranger Erza dodged Lis’s attack in a fluster, clenching her teeth.

Like Pedros, she now had completely lost any sliver of confidence in victory and only wanted to gain more time for the remaining companion.

She tilted her head slightly to avoid the arrows coming from afar.

With a twist of her right hand, she used the pommel of her sword to knock on the back of Monk Gardley’s neck.

Gardley’s body went limp; as Lis let go, he collapsed onto the ground.

Looking at Erza, who was on guard in front of him, Lis shrugged and said with a smile:

“I think you may have misunderstood something.”

Lis pointed behind him at Cecil and said:

“Haven’t you noticed? She’s not an elf slave that I captured.”
