Chapter 319: Little Plum is a glutton Part2

After the group returned to the smithy, Miller called his two disciples for a meeting. 

Both Tang Yue and Charlotte were surprised because this was the first time the dwarf had called them both together.

"You think he found out our sneaking around?" Charlotte nudged her.

Tang Yue bitterly smiled and shushed the woman, asking her to not give away their secret willingly.

Charlotte giggled and stayed quiet.

"You two seem to be very content?" Miller walked over, sternly reprimanding the two.

"Did you both think that you did an amazing job today?"

Cough. Cough. Tang Yue looked away embarrassedly. In truth, she really did think so.

"Let me tell you this. If tonight, there had been two or more demons instead of just one, do you think the outcome would have been the same?"

"First, Charlotte. You were nothing short of useless tonight. Did you go to fight to simply turtle and stand around?"

"But Master…" Charlotte opened her mouth feeling very wronged. 

How was it her fault that she was weak to the dark element! 

If that elf did not possess dark element affinity, she would have most definitely wiped the floor with their asses, splitting them into two with a single sword move!

"Did I allow you to speak yet?" Miller curtly scolded her once again.

Charlotte pouted and bit her lips, silently listening to this time.

"Yes, I understand that you are weak to the dark element. What have you done till now to overcome it?"

The elf looked up wordlessly, unable to give any excuses.

"Have you thought about how you can overcome this sort of drawback?"

"Have either of you thought about it?"

"Tang Yue, you seem to have some sort of resistance to the various elements at least to a certain extent."

"But when the quality of the elemental attack changes, you are still at a disadvantage."

"How are you both planning to overcome this?"

Tang Yue pursed her lips together and pensively pondered. 

She also noticed this problem and hadn't thought of a solution just yet.

"Hai Hai." Miller sighed looking at both his disciples in deep thought. 

Both were very talented but at the same time, they lacked combat experience.

"Have you both ever tried combining elemental magic?"

"For example, you Charlotte. If you had tried making a mana barrier with both fire element and lightning elemental magic, it would have been strong enough to resist the dark elemental attacks."

"You could have then attacked the opponent using your sword moves while simultaneously maintaining the twin elemental barrier."

"If you had done that, the elves wouldn't have had a chance to summon any demons in the first place."

Hearing Miller's words, Tang Yue's eyes slightly widened as she listened on with interest.

Charlotte, however, restlessly fidgeted, seemingly in a dilemma.

Miller looked at the woman and mumbled. "Speak."

"Master. That… That…" Charlotte hesitated. Combining the various elemental attacks was not a new thing.

However, it was easier said than done. First of all, one needed very high affinity.

Secondly, one needed mental strength capable enough to accomplish this task and simultaneously control two elements or more at the same time.

And last but not the least, it required months of practice to successfully accomplish it.

Miller raised his hand and stopped Charlotte from saying anything else.

Unlike Tang Yue, this brat was a spoilt child and needed more reprimanding.

"I know it is difficult but it is not impossible." 

"Just simply raising your cultivation base and mana core will not be sufficient after a certain and you will face roadblocks."

"You need to focus on other things and work on them as well." 

Miller advised the duo for a while and then walked out, leaving both the girls to practice.

Watching the dwarf walk outside, Charlotte sighed tiredly and pulled together her loose long hair to tie it into a bun.

Her gaze then fell on the snake who was standing beside her.

Tang Yue's hands played around with some of the fire and earth elemental spells.

Several tongues of flame appeared on her right palm and a big round rock floated on her left palm.

Her eyes were closed, her emerald orbs flickering underneath.

It looked as though she had gained some insight and was trying to make sense of it.

Charlotte watched curiously as the woman repeatedly kept twirling the fire essence and earthen essence around her body.

And then as she watched, the very next instant, all the essence including the tongues of flame and the rock disappeared and a spear-like object slowly started forming on Tang Yue's right hand.

At first, this spear was completely made of earthen essence except for its tip which was made of fire.

But then slowly a vortex formed and the spear started remodeling itself from the tip to the end.

Tang Yue frowned and grunted as the spear in her hands slowly became brighter and brighter, redder in color.

The heat intensity from the spear had also increased manifold and it looked much deadlier now compared to how it was before with just a flame head.

"This… This…" Charlotte gawked at the woman as if a bolt of lightning had struck her.

Tang Yue opened her eyes slowly and nodded with satisfaction. 

The elemental spear in her hand was ready for attacking and it was made of sizzling hot lava.

It had the attack power of the fire elemental while at the same time it also had the penetrability of the earth elemental.

Tang Yue tossed the spear on a wall in front of them and a loud boom echoed.

She then murmured something under her breath and once again materialized another spear on her right hand, a spear purely made of hot sizzling lava and this time at a much faster speed.

She threw the second spear as well at the wall, another boom resounding in the smithy.

Miller had fortified all the walls for attack practice so she didn't worry about the damages but still, it made her a bit nervous.

With the second attack, the wall had visibly shaken and trembled as if it was about to be destroyed.

"What attack power!" Tang Yue gasped.

And standing beside her, Charlotte gasped as well but for a very different reason. 

"You monster!" She pointed at Tang Yue and sulked in exasperation. 

She had just finished complaining to their teacher that this was a very difficult attack and turned around when Tang Yue had already mastered the said feat.

Where was justice in this world? She felt aggrieved!

Could she even call herself talented in front of a genius like this snake!!!

Charlotte's cheeks puffed up cutely.

Tang Yue giggled at the girl's childish reactions.

"You idiot. Why are you getting so worked up? This is indeed not so easy!"

Charlotte turned around, refusing to meet her disgustingly talented lover.

"You don't have to patronize me." She sulked.

"Hai. Hai. I am not patronizing you, dear. I am only telling the truth." Tang Yue chuckled again and hugged her from behind.

"Of course, you won't be able to do it on your first try. It is just that I have been practicing this for a while."

"Huh? How so?" Charlotte turned and curiously asked.

"Have you forgotten that I have been training in forging all these days?"

"But…"

"Every time I refined the metals and forged the final essence into the weapons, this is almost exactly what I have been doing."

"So I guess my control of the two elements consequently increased."

"I had a faint inkling that I might be able to do it, so I tried and it worked."

"So my situation is different. You don't have to force yourself too much because of this."

"Mmm." Charlotte hesitantly nodded, still looking a bit sad.

"Aya, what a jealous little girl you are." Tang Yue poked her sullen cheeks.

Charlotte immediately flared up in retort. 

"Yue! Why are you being so mean! I am not jealous. I just don't want to be useless on the battlefield again."

Ah~ Tang Yue now understood why the woman was sad and she giggled.

She leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on the elf's pouting lips. "You can be weak. It's okay. I am there."

Charlotte's face immediately reddened and the elf blushed like a ripe tomato.

She then pulled Tang Yue closer and pounced on her, kissing her senseless.

"Stop saying such embarrassing things. Have you no shame?"

"Who is the one who is shameless here? Stop undressing me. Master will be back anytime now."

"He he. I don't think so."

"Hey stop it. It's tickling!"

"Since you are going to be taking care of the weak me in the future, I need to repay you right now with my body."

"Ah. Ah. Mmmm. I don't need any repayment."

"Eh? You liar. Then why are you already wet."

"Ah! Stop biting me!"

"No way!"

"Mmm… what a bad little girl you are…"

…

…

Meanwhile…

Back in Eldoria…

Xander glanced at the demon summoning technique in his hands which Tang Yue had sent over, his crimson eyes containing a fit of unfathomable anger…

"What is the meaning behind this, Yue?"
