Elves are able to manipulate and create magical energy from nature.
Lightning, fire, water, earth, and wind. The five elements of nature are the most basic things that make up all things in the universe.
And the Elves have the ability to not only manipulate but also create the energy.
Of course, even the Dark Elves could do it because they were descendants of the Elves.
Forest Elves can also manipulate and create natural energy. But they prefer to use bows, arrows, and other weapons.
What Aurdis did earlier was, she created orbs with water-based energy.
But Aurdis did a little trick there by adding lightning energy around the orbs. This made the Dark Elves immediately fooled.
Moreover, the orbs were silver in color, so associating them with lightning energy seemed more reasonable.
With the battle going fast, they didn't have time to think about things in too much detail.
Thus, the deception directly affects them.
'That damn princess!'
The Dark Elf leader gritted his teeth in anger. He looked at Aurdis who was still hovering in the air with a triumphant grin on her face.
"(You are quite skilled, princess. But don't think that you won over us!)" the Dark Elf leader said threateningly.
"(Oh, are you sure you haven't lost yet? I still have a lot of tricks I can give you guys,)" Aurdis replied to his threat with a casual tone.
But actually, in her heart, Aurdis was feeling anxious. She used quite a lot of Magic energy to do the action just now.
Even though it was practically successful, she still wasn't sure that the Dark Elf would lose so quickly.
Aurdis moved her hand again. The silver light that looked like a thread controlled by Aurdis also moved, dancing around her arm.
The ice that froze the two Dark Elves' hands rose. A rustling sound followed as the icicles ran down their arms and froze every cell in their hands.
The two Dark Elves cursed inwardly. But they did not lack the resolve to quickly bring out one more dagger from under their black robes.
Then they directly cut off their arms where the ice had not yet reached.
*CRAAAT!*
*CRAAAT!*
The two frozen arms fell on the grass-covered ground.
There was only a small amount of blood coming out because most of the blood had already clotted.
"(Wow, I applaud your bravery,)" Aurdis said.
The two Dark Elves who have now lost one hand are looking at Aurdis with hateful eyes.
But they didn't say anything. They held back all their grudges and anger knowing that there was no point in venting it now.
What just happened seemed to explain that Aurdis was a very strong enemy.
The Dark Elf assassins were used in war and battle. So that they can immediately control their mind in a situation that suddenly becomes very dangerous to them.
They - not just the two Dark Elves who had lost their hands - were finally forced to admit their guilt for underestimating Aurdis.
The two Dark Elves whose hands had been cut off immediately took care of themselves.
They cast Magic to seal the stump of their severed arm. That way their bleeding can stop.
The Dark Elf leader pulled back the hook and immediately cut the chain as well.
The freezing was unstoppable. So it's better if he just cut the chain before everything freezes.
Once cut, the chain instantly shattered as it fell to the ground.
The female Dark Elf who was maintaining the Magic ring gulped while looking at Aurdis.
Her mind was now filled with shock. How could the princess who was known to be gentle, enough to get them to this stage?
Aurdis hid her strength well. And once she took it out, she could suppress five Dark Elf assassins at once.
If they knew this would turn out to be, they should have sent an even more powerful Mage.
This group only specializes in clandestine assassinations. Not with a direct fight with their target like this.
The leader knew that he was the cause of all this happening.
He underestimated Aurdis so much that he felt that they didn't need to hide in the first place to kill her.
Suddenly while they were lost in thought and suppressed by anxiety, Aurdis moved first and sent slashes of wind in the shape of a crescent moon toward the three of them.
The three Dark Elves jumped up and to the side to avoid it.
Then, as if understanding that it was time to continue the fight and stopped to think, they started attacking again.
The Dark Elves shrouded their bodies with increasing Magic aura.
In this way, their speed also increases.
The two Dark Elves who had lost their hands simultaneously threw daggers at Aurdis.
Then in midair, each of the daggers split into five pieces.
Aurdis moved her hand to create a silver magic shield.
Ten daggers hit her magic shield. But the daggers didn't bounce.
Instead, they cling to Aurdis' Magic shield.
Aurdis's brow furrowed. The daggers continued to move forward trying to penetrate the shield.
From below the Dark Elves continued to move.
The leader of the assassin group tied another hook to his chain while running.
He then stared at one of the Dark Elves who had lost his hand.
He immediately nodded, as if already knew what he had to do.
He immediately spread his one remaining hand towards Aurdis.
A purple magic circle appeared under Aurdis.
After that, his friend who was beside him did the same thing.
An orange magic circle appeared above Aurdis.
Aurdis immediately strengthened the dome of an invisible shield around her body.
Each of the magic circles emitted lightning and fire that instantly strike Aurdis.
But the two attacks couldn't penetrate her protective dome. At least, for now.
The intensity of the lightning and fire grew higher and higher.
Aurdis was forced to strengthen her dome. Plus, she also still has to maintain the shield that blocks the daggers from reaching her.
All these things continue to seize Aurdis' attention. So she forgot about another Dark Elf who was still hiding underground.
