Chapter 6 A Dark Elf Wants Me

Benihime walked into her room with Akari following behind her. Amongst the other Velkyries, Akari was the closet to Benihime, which was why she became her personal advisor.

"Are you sure that was a wise move, lady Hime?" Akiho asked, she dropped the orb on the center table before attending to Benihime.

Benihime was standing close to the mirror, waiting for Akari to pull off her clothes so she could have a bath.

"What do you mean?" Benihime asked, she stretched out both her arms as she waited for Akari.

Akari moved closer and slowly began pulling off Benihime's clothes, "My orb read nothing from him, which has never happened before, something quite similar happened in the past expect I was able to read him, but his guy was different and we just let him go...feels…"

"I understand your worry Akari, but remember, he never did us any wrong." Benihime said, "keeping him here is both injustice and slavery".

Akari picked up the clothes from the floor and began folding them, "You're right my lady, i apologize for disturbing you with that question".

Benihime walked away and headed toward the side of her bed to grab the towel that was hanged there.

"No need to be so formal Akari, you are my advisor, loosen up a bit." Benihime smiled, "Now if anyone asks, tell them I went to take a dip in the river".

She uttered before leaving the room through the back door. Her room was just right behind a pool of water that runs down from different villages in the kingdom of Fiora.

Akari slowly stood up from the ground and placed the clothes in the drawer, 'I hope you're right my lady.' She sighed before leaving the room.

. . . . . . . .

Back in the forest, Sato and Isla had been surrounded by the elves, making them outnumbered six to two.

"Resisting is futile, we have the whole place surrounded just give in and follow us calmly, isn't that hard if you think about it." The male elf said.

Sato had a calm expression as he slowly used his eyes to scan all the elf's one by one until he spotted a female elf dressed in a ninja like way.

She had dark hair and was a bit small in stature, her collar covered the lower half of her face and a small katana could be seen resting vertically on her back.

'Wow! Is that a real ninja?' Sato was shocked, he was about to walk toward the elf when another elf spoke.

"Let's just get them already, we're wasting more time!" The male elf yelled.

"Relax, we can just take in when there's a mons-".

Before Orland could finish his statement, a loud roar coming from the tress behind the village echoed throughout the forest.

"Now!".

Isla yelled, using the distraction of roar, she used the blade on her hand to rotate as she sliced up some of the trees around her.

The trees went falling to the ground, blocking the path of the elves and showing Isla and escape route. she immediately grabbed Sato's hand and began running.

"Get them!" Orland shouted, the elves began chasing them with their incredible agility, jumping from tress to tress while firing thier arrows.

Isla kept on dodging, running in between trees and flying over boulders, this way she sought to create confusion for them.

"Shouldn't we just try to talk to them?" Sato voiced while following Isla's movement.

"Shut up and run!" Isla responded.

He sighed, 'Yo, computer lady! Elves are considered good creatures right? So why the hell are they attacking us?' Sato asked.

<<Question confirmed, elves are considered peaceful and welcoming to any outsiders who are looking for accommodations in their environment, although they are wary of humans due to past event, but not to the point of where they'll lead to ambush>>

'So they are good people then, I knew it.' Sato muttered.

The elf ninja suddenly emerged in front of them from the ground before slamming her hand on the ground.

The earth was erected, causing a massive wall to appear that blocked Isla's path but she didn't slow down even after seeing it.

Isla leaped to the sky before using her sword to slice the thick rock in half leaving the elf ninja surprised at the sight.

After Isla had landed on the ground she immediately booted the ninja with a powerful kick.

The elf went flying and crashed into on of the trees, before she could get back up, Isla was already in front of her.

With a raging scream, Isla raised her sword and icey steam began to surround the tip of the blade.

She stroked her sword down only for it to be stopped by Sato who stood beside her.

Sato held the blade with his left hand while standing in front of the elf, "Hey! hold on and think about this." He voiced.

His hand was rapidly turning into ice and it was networking all the way to his neck, but thanks to his cold resistance he didn't quite feel it.

Isla instantly pulled her sword away from Sato's grip, "Have you gone insane? What the hell is wrong with you?" Isla yelled as she looked at Sato's frozen arm.

<Notice, the skill Ice magic...obtained>

Sato smiled, 'Figured as much' He thought to himself before turning to the elf, "Are you okay?" He asked.

The elf and Isla watched as the ice began to melt from his arm and start dripping from his fingers.

The elf stood up and pulled out a kunai that was resting at the side of the thigh, she took a defensive stance and slowly took steps back.

"Why did you help me just now?" The elf ninja asked.

"I'd be lying if I said I had a reason, call it an intuition, all I want to know is why you are suddenly attacking us?" Sato asked.

Isla grabbed Sato's arm which had been frozen before and looked at it with confusion, "How were you able to cancel my magic?" She asked.

"I have ice magic too." Sato replied.

"Even so, it shouldn't have been that easy," Isla uttered again, she was still shocked at the whole thing.

The rest of the elves started coming in from different directions, Sato quickly turned into dust and went behind the elf ninja.

A scythe appeared on his hand and he aimed it at her neck.

"I thought you were good, what are you doing?" The elf ninja muttered.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." Sato whispered back.

Orland came out of the woods and began clapping his hands, "That's a bold move you've made there." He said.

"If you think, I'm going to stop my attack just because you managed to take one of my people, hostages, then you must be dumber than I thought".

"Oh shut up!"

Sato voiced out, "The least you could do is tell us why you are attacking, you don't just randomly attack people and expect them not to run".

Orland grinned, "Ever heard the saying curiosity killed the cat?"

'This guy is really pissing me of.' Sato's eye brown twitched in annoyance.

<Notice Analysis complete, your opponent is not an elf like the others, he is a dark elf>

'Aren't those guys supposed to be evil?' Sato asked.

<Affermative, they are known for their expertise in manipulation and dark magic>

'Why didn't you tell me this earlier'.

<The dark elf had an alternating magic that made it hard to read into his physique, I had to analyze with care>

'I see'.

"Hey, you've gone quiet all of a sudden, what's wrong? You finally scared?" Orland mocked.

"Hey… did you know he's a dark elf?" Sato silently asked the elf he was holding, but she didn't give any response.

Instead, she was actually shocked, she was wondering how exactly he knew that.

Sato stretched out his scythe, "You're a dark elf aren't you".

Everybody gasped as soon as Sato said it, Orland frowned his face before shouting.

"Bow him down! Kill him!"

"But sir, he had Elena with him" .

"I said bow him down, you idiots!" Orland yelled again.

They all aimed their arrow at Sato, but their faces were driven by fear, and their hands trembled.

"Why the hell did you provoke him?" Isla said as she slowly moved toward him with her back.

"Don't worry, he can't do a single thing" Sato said with his Scythe still stretched out, "In fact... I dare him to".
