Chapter 438 Elena. Vs Cindy!



During Alvine's explanations about the reasons for his refusal, the two Crystaluses listened to him without even frowning.

Thus, even having finished saying what he had in mind, he could not help frowning, guessing that they had not quite given up; as if they expected to hear him say these things about them.

It was not surprising; anyone having any interaction with this breed knew they were pacifist beings.

Alvine himself was aware of this fact. 'But why did I feel this bloodthirsty aura with this girl?' This was the only detail he wanted to know more than anything.

And he soon found the answer after their next few exchanges.

Rendy nods to her sister who, despite her current tumultuous emotions, had no choice but to take a step back.

Alvine and the others knew they were preparing something, but what?

Thus, Elena's mistrust of them increased by a notch. **Sir, I think it's prudent to let me ensure your protection in the face of...-

**Not necessary, they are powerful, but not enough to threaten my life.**

By hearing Alvine's answer, Elena curbed her desire to protect her lord.

At the same time, Rendy's sober voice reaches Alvine's eardrums. "You're wrong about two things, Sir Alvine; we're different from the other Crystaluses."

"Tss~, and do you think that two mistakes on my part are enough to make me change my mind?" Alvine asks with a snort.

"Yes," Rendy responds instantly with intrepid eyes; a detail that ignited Alvine's curiosity.

"If this is the case, well, explain yourself in this case." He said in a deep voice.

"Few people know our species, so it's not surprising to see you misunderstand the three of us. We can kill." She revealed this detail while reinforcing her words by manifesting her aura, which was of an intensity worthy of a bloodthirsty murderer.

"!?"

At that moment, it wasn't only Alvine who was really thinking about the true meanings of her words, even Elena was no exception.

"Stop making fun of us with these bullshits, I, for my part, have killed more than a hundred of you. No matter how much I tortured them and killed their children and hubbies in front of them, they stayed there looking at me with bloodthirsty eyes without taking revenge. Your breed, only increases its strength for one thing, to flee in the event of an invasion." Elena replied with a sneaky smile.

Hearing her say these words, Alvine guessed her goal. 'She tries to provoke them to see if they can attack her to kill her; as always, this girl seeks the fight at the slightest opportunity.'

As he had just said, Cindy soon confirmed her hypotheses by flashing behind her with her two daggers soaked in a hateful vibrant aura.

But before she reaches Elena, she blocks her attack with a giant sword about her size.

"Hoho~? How are you different from others if you lose your mind in the face of the murderer of your fellow Crystaluses beings?" Elena's twisted Valkyrie side threatened to take over her as she articulated these words at a frantic pace while continuing to provoke Cindy.

The latter stares at her with more murderous eyes than those she had thrown at Alvine. "Let's be clear, Are you lying to check or are you telling the truth?" She asks the only question that allows her to maintain the barrier between her and her madness.

Before answering her question, Elena manifests her blood-red aura, thus increasing her strength to repel Cindy.

Since her strength and level far exceeded Cindy's, she had no problem accomplishing this task without panache.

But she immediately frowned at Cindy when she saw her stop rather than expected. "You are all the same. Even if you are weak, this ability to cancel the superior magics you have makes you harder to slay; but whatever, all I have to do is tear off this jewelry and add it to my collection." She said with eyes burning with avarice.

Cindy's eyes flicker slightly, escaping madness closely.

Alvine was also beginning to worry when he saw Elena's avarice. 'Please, let someone tell me that she didn't do that.'

Knowing the hamster side of his monarch, who steals everything that shines willingly or by force, Alvine could not help but doubt Elena's true intentions.

'What if she didn't do that to test her? Elena may be intelligent, but she loses all reasoning in the face of a treasure. The rarer an item, weapon, or artifact, the more she becomes obsessed with it. But if she...-

But before Alvine decided to stop Elena, the latter took out a small bag made with the skin of a beast.

She plunged her hand into it and took off a half-broken emerald green crystal.

"Among my possessions, the crystals of your species are the ones I have in little quantity. I was only able to collect 9785, but my goal is to collect a million." After saying these words, she puts the crystal in her bag before smiling eagerly at Cindy.

"For this, I need yours and your sister's." Her sentence, pronounced with the greatest arrogance ever displayed before, rumbled in Alvine's brain like thunder.

'For sure, She ruined all my plans.' He couldn't help but growl in his mind.

A Crystalus is already an unstoppable asset, but what could be better if the latter can kill? It was a significant thing for him, who had already made his decision, even if he did not show it.

In the second that followed, the greenish aura around Cindy's daggers suddenly evaporated.

But neither Alvine nor Elena found this anomaly as a harbinger.

Even Alvine who was standing nearby could feel uncomfortable because of a factor he knew only well.

The three could gradually feel the atmosphere getting heavier around them. Not to mention that Alvine was gradually beginning to transform under his true appearance despite his will.

Looking around him, Alvine's eyes landed on Assi, who was the most confused because of her ignorance about the unique characteristic of the girl who was trying to confront his monarch.

"Look carefully at this battle, Assi; this is one of the reasons that obliges me to put the weak like you aside."

Hearing Alvine's heavy voice, Assi looks at him with incredulous eyes. But her astonishment was not only because of Alvine’s words but largely due to his demonic appearance.

"You are really... Alvine?"

Hearing her stutter with awe, Alvine only gave her an ironic smile, but his smile could only be demonic because of his zigzagging teeth.

At the same time, Cindy's emerald green crystal emits a green glow that completely covers the Arctic area.

-BOOM!

Instantly, Elena lands heavily on the ground after she has lost all control over her energy.

'There, she's starting to fight seriously!' As Alvine mumbled in his mind, he could see the snowflakes dancing around him as if his world was slowing down.

'Heh, this skill is really scary. It not only seals our energies but even lifts the limitations I had voluntarily placed on my soul.' Since he knew the reason for the current boost on his body, he did not dwell on it and instead prioritized Elena's safety by taking a brief look at Rendy.

'At least, this girl has no intention of getting involved. Finally, it will give me a good experience to witness such a battle. The Crystaluses only fight to defend themselves, I wonder if she has offensive skills. In witness whereof, I sincerely hope she gives her all to allow me to learn more about this mysterious species.'

As he mumbled with eyes carried by unfathomable malice, Cindy's silhouette flashed off in front of Elena, leaving a deep crater, when she hit the icy ground with her heels.

In the same second,

-BANG!!

Elena urgently blocks her kick by using her large sword as a shield.

Now that the latter had almost lost all possibility of manifesting her aura, she could only rely on her titanic strength and her eyes more piercing than those of a millennial falcon to confront an opponent, who had no limitation.

Due to this imbalance, Elena was pushed back when she countered Cindy's attack.

"I'm surprised, your physical abilities are of a higher level than I expected." Cindy's roque voice sounds calm but colder than the Arctic arena.

Elena smiles valiantly when she sees Cindy's arrogance.

"What do you think you accomplish with a kick? You really take me down, little treasure."

Cindy frowns when she sees Elena address her as a vulgar object. "Be sure of one thing, I'm going to kill you; but not before making you suffer like you've never suffered."

Determined to fight to the end, Elena positions herself on the offensive by arcing her legs and placing her right palm on the ground while the other carries her sword on her shoulder.

For her part, Cindy, who already knew that she could not match the speed of her enemy, based solely on her physical abilities, shows purple lightning around her legs.

As for Elena, she puts all her strength on her ankles to increase her momentum.

'The reason why beings in transcendent or superior rank generally use affinities such as lightning, strengthening, fire, and spiritual attacks is due to their destructive powers against their fellows.

-The physical and spiritual bodies of higher beings are almost indestructible; to hope to cause them damage, attacks of short ranges and destructive power are the effective ones. Otherwise, a duel or fight between two superior beings would take forever before a winner is designated.' Alvine murmured before focusing on Elena.

Since the latter was at a loss than Cindy, she simply bet on the melee.

The icy ground began to crack under her feet as she concentrated all her power on her legs.

This brief break moment allowed Assi to momentarily see their entire silhouette; a thrilling moment for Alvine but worrying for Rendy, who frowned, when she saw Elena smile despite her perilous situation.

In the second, a sonic bang, which detonated under Elena's feet, changed the surrounding air current while the latter rushed towards Cindy at a speed that had nothing to envy to that of her enemy.

Acting accordingly, Cindy released her purple lightning towards Elena, who was like a cannonball shooting at her.

But although Elena felt the danger in her nose, she did not back down!

Just before the lightning reaches her, she vertically swings her sword as hard as she can and tears Cindy's lightning as if it were just paper.

Seeing this scene that she least expected, Cindy jumped into the air and stopped at an altitude of fifty meters.

On the other hand, Elena also vaulted towards her, but her momentum decreased as she gained altitude.

Since she could not use her energy to give herself a push, not to mention flying, Elena could only count on her brute force to perfect her jump; a thoughtless act she soon regretted because of her excessive confidence in her brutality.

And unlike her, it was a chance that Cindy didn't let pass.

But instead of blasting her directly with her thunders, Cindy had to use a feint to weaken her enemy's fortress.

In the first place, she throws one of her daggers towards Elena's forehead that came to her from the ground.

The latter tilts her head, avoiding Cindy's dagger.

But Cindy shows a wild smile on her lips when she sees Elena continue to leap at her. She then used her telekinesis power to change her dagger’s trajectory which whistled towards Elena's neck.

Certainly, Elena did not have her magical perception to give her a 360-degree view; but she had one thing that could help her guess Cindy's towers, the experiences she gained on the countless battlefields!
