"Augh! What is wrong with these insects, If I could I would really curse them," Touching her neck with pain, one of the dark elves mumbled feeling a little stinging pain on her neck. But soon that stinging pain turned into dizziness and she fell on the floor unconscious leaving only a small arrow on her neck.
"What happened? Answer me!," Seeing her comrade acting strange another dark elf came to help her, but she had to face the same fate because of her carelessness.
Alva and Emily looked at them with cold eyes and felt happy to see their plan working.
"Let's take out all of them from behind until Nikol finish his work," Emily said in a tiny voice and asked Alva to follow her.
She noticed how grim and dark she looked, but for now, she ignored it as she didn't want to give in to feelings and mess up their plan.
"We need to hide their bodies, luckily they won't wake up like Nikol,"
At first, Emily thought this wouldn't work on them because she thought dark elves were using mana to create curse magic, but seeing their mana less posion working, she knew these dark elves didn't use or have any mana in their body any longer.
"They have completely changed their bodies, what a disgusting way to get strong," With a disgusted face, she looked at all the unconscious dark elves hoping they would just disappear forever but, then she remembered Treiya and her group.
"Not all, I guess," While she was thinking about these things, she saw Alva agrrivesly shooting down so many dark elves, Emily quickly went to help her and they couldn't do this for long as they heard another explosion outside the place, they were hiding.
Eldora also wanted to take a quick look at what was happening, so she quickly ordered the monsters to move. But before she could do that, she heard someone talking near her ear, surprisingly Eldora didn't act surprised showing it wasn't something strange for her.
"Order number one to retreat, we have people knocking out your people behind us,"
"It's fine, as long as I can tame that monster who's fighting head-on-head with number one, I don't care about small fries," Eldora said while obsessively looking at Nikol's figure.
"Do what I asked you to do, don't forget what we are fighting for," The voice mumbled near her ear and disappeared into thin air without even other dark elves noticing its presence.
Eldora looked at her people for a second and decided to do what that voice asked her to do because she knew that voice was correct and going against it wasn't wise right now.
For a moment, she gave into her greed and decided to collect powerful entities like her previous hobby, but now she felt her mind clear and quickly got ready to charge and do what she has to do for her race, for herself and him.
"I won't mess up this time, I can't afford to lose number one,"
While Eldora was getting ready to charge into the battlefield even though it was dangerous because of all the cannons, Nikol and Number one kept clashing with each other. Nikol was out of breath while Number one acted like she was glitching with her head constantly shaking left and right.
But ignoring all those things Number One and Nikol faced each other, both exhausted from their intense battle. Despite their weariness, they knew that the fight wasn't over yet, especially Nikol. They had both used their most powerful attacks, but neither had managed to gain the upper hand. Number one wanted to destroy the wall as soon as she can because of the orders but the obstacle called Nikol kept disturbing her.
Number One took a deep breath and charged towards Nikol with incredible speed, her fists crackling with explosive energy. Nikol reacted quickly, dodging Number One's attack and counterattacking with a powerful jab to her spine but it didn't work as he felt like touching a jellyfish instead of a human-like spine. Number One managed to emerge unscathed by that attack, but just barely, and the force of the attack left her feeling drained.
Nikol followed up with a barrage of uppercuts and side jabs, each one striking with deadly accuracy. Number One tried to block the attacks with her arms, but she knew that he couldn't keep this up for long. She needed to come up with a new strategy, and fast.
With a sudden burst of energy, Number One leapt into the air and unleashed a devastating blast of explosive energy from her palms. Nikol tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The blast hit him directly, sending him crashing to the ground.
Number One landed gracefully on the ground, her cursed energy unbalanced but her resolve unshaken to kill Nikol and quickly break the wall. She knew that Nikol was tough, so quickly tried to finish him.
By now the hole in the wall caused by Nikol almost looked like the size of a ring so any chance that dark elves had to enter the kingdom through that hole vanished because of Number one's stupidity.
Looking at Nikol, who was lying on the floor everyone on the wall felt despair. Almost all of them were about to jump from the wall to help him, Usha also came closer despite Eva's objections and she took a clear look at the opponent and Nikol at the same time.
She kept looking at this battle for a minute and noticed something strange.
"Wait! She looks like-" Usha mumbled to herself while her face went pale, every single second she took a closer look at the face in front of her.
"Nooooo! Noooooo! No way did they-" She had a bad premonition about it.
"Usha, what are you doing? Get over here," Eva quickly held Usha's hand and tried to pull her with the only working hand she had, but Usha didn't move an inch as she kept looking at Number one.
Then with tears in her eyes, she turned around and looked at Eva,
"She's my mother," Pointing at Number one, Usha mumbled with her voice trembling from fear and sadness.
Shocked by this development, Eva quickly took a good look at Number one.
"Shit! Those damn dark elves," Even though she couldn't take a closer look previously, now after carefully looking she noticed the similarities between them.
"Usha, I know it must be painful but now we should help Nikol," Eva quickly grabbed Usha's hand so she won't do anything stupid and tried to meet Lydia to take her weapons to go and help Nikol.
After walking for a minute, they managed to meet Zenda and Lydia but both of them had relieved looks on their faces for some reason.
"What are you doing? Go and help him," Eva shouted seeing them hoping, they actually allow her to join but both of them looked at her with their faces showing a little smiles.
"No need, she's here to help him, Our queen will help him," Zenda said those words and pointed at the roots that were slowly extending through the heavenly wall.
"Look! She's moving,"
After recovering the wall, Tisha didn't even take a break and rest, she quickly decided to help Nikol because her power was very convenient when their enemy is already in her range.
"Queen! Blood is coming out of your nose," All the elven girls near her had worried faces, seeing her nose bleeding but Tisha just quickly wiped them and looked at the scenery in front of her with the projection she got.
"Nikol, I will make things right, no matter how many years of my life I have to give away for your sake, I will do that and show you my loyalty to you, I will save you," With a determined face, she quickly start giving even more mana to the roots and quickly extended them upto Number one's leg and quickly captured her upside down.
She then began rejuvenating Nikol by spraying some of their water onto his face and mouth through a long vine that resembled a water pump.
*Cough
Feeling the refreshing sensation, Nikol opened his eyes to see something unexpected, but he knew who was the one responsible for this. He looked at the vine with a grateful look and before it was too late, he decided to attack Number one, who is captured in the roots like an insect that is about to become diet to a giant spider.
"Let's finish this, now you won't be able to evade my attacks," He quickly jumped on her body and started tearing her organs out of her body and threw them away, so she won't be able to re-attach them. Even though it was supposed to be a bloody scene, no blood came out of Number one's body showing, she wasn't even alive in the first place.
Usha kept crying seeing her mother's body getting violated like that, but deep down she knew that thing wasn't her mother anymore. It was just a parasite, which possessed Elisha's body.
"Let's say goodbye grandmother, you were the toughest opponent, I had to fight," Nikol quickly grabbed Number one's head and tried to separate it from her body but, suddenly a sudden sharp pain erupted in his back. Nikol stumbled forward, confused and disoriented. Looking back, he saw a small fairy hovering in the air, with a look of fierce hatred in its eyes.
"What are you?" Desperate to fight back, Nikol turned to face his tiny assailant. But it was too late. His vision began to fade, and he felt himself falling to the ground. As he lay there, helpless and defeated.
