Chapter 173 173 – The Battle of the Beasts

Raymund’s two servants were under the roof of a plot of land where construction guards rested. With her passive nocturnal eye skill, Elise can spot the construction guards and stab those still asleep. Meanwhile, Yua had to confirm first and then slit their throats.

It didn’t take long for the mats to be covered in blood.

One of them woke up and was shocked at the sight. He shouted, but no sound came out of his mouth. Elise then slashed the man’s neck until his head was cut off.

Seeing the rolling head while staring at her, Yua immediately threw up.

However, there was no time to rest for the two women. Some of the guards who were still awake finally realized what was happening and immediately attacked them. Elise swiftly used a Whirlwind slash to attack those men. They all fell down instantly, covered in blood. A few could survive because of the armor, but Yua slashed their throats at a speed that the human eye could barely keep up with.

“Now it’s time to go to the camp where the villagers are trapped.” Raymund gave further instructions.

Yua caught Elise’s body and rolled on the ground, dodging the giant fireball coming at them. The fireball then set fire to the place where the guards rested..

Jorge came to them riding his dragon.

“Hey, I know who you are!” The man with a face half covered in burns screamed. Due to the dragon’s arrival, Kimi stopped her noise-canceling magic. “You are also the one who helped destroy my field!”

This time the dragon’s mouth let out a stream of fire, and the two Raymund servants had to dodge again.

“Mona!!!” Elise shouted with all her might.

With a loud bark, the dog ran and enlarged its body, then pounced on the dragon. The dragon was able to dodge, but Mona still managed to bite its wings. The colossal lizard let out a tremendous roar and squirmed, spouting fire everywhere.

“Now is the time, Yua, Kimi!” Raymund gave the order again. “Save the villagers!”

The kunoichi immediately ran in the other direction. At the same time, Kimi played her lute to give herself and her two friends a buff.

The campsite caught fire. The dragon managed to free itself from Mona, and Elise immediately mounted her pet.

The dragon tried to fly but couldn’t, and with great difficulty, Jorge managed to control it again. The man stared at his dragon wings which had been partially lost, then cursed at Elise with rage. “Look what you did! Do you know how hard it was to tame him!? Now he’s disabled!”

Not answering, Elise pointed her sword forward.

Jorge raised his giant axe. “Die!!!”

The dragon let out a deafening roar, and Mona barked ferociously. The two beasts came forward to attack each other. Mona dodged the fireballs from the giant lizard, then tried to pounce again. However, this time the dragon was able to avoid it.

While the two beasts were fighting, the masters on their backs traded slashes with each other as they got close. They are evenly matched. Neither has hit their opponent yet.

“Because of you, my dream is shattered!!!” The man shouted so loudly. “I’m lucky madam Scarlet found me dying! She will help me build another business empire as long as I help her keep this project! And you want to destroy it again!? You bitch! I’m not going to let you mess this up again.”

“If Scarlet achieves her goal, many humans will die!” Elise blocked her opponent’s ax slash.

“I know it!” Jorge retaliates as his dragon avoids Mona. “And I don’t care!”

Finally, Mona managed to bite the dragon’s neck. Elise stood up with difficulty because her pet was squirming to hold the dragon that was struggling violently. However, the female warrior still managed to run while pointing her sword forward.

Charging thrust.

The sword managed to hit Jorge’s body, protected by a magic barrier. The man was completely unharmed, even though he was thrown far away.

Elise’s body flew with the squirming of the two monsters. She rolled on the ground violently.

And that’s when a thunderous explosion threw her body again. This time the female warrior’s back hit a tree. She then fell to the ground again and whimpered in pain. Her whole body felt like it was being squeezed hard.

“Mona!!!” Raymund shouted.

Elise raised her head to see what was really going on. It seemed the dragon was spitting giant flames out of its mouth as a last resort. That causes a massive explosion that sends Mona’s body into the air.

“Mona…” Elise forced her body up. However, just as she stood upright on her two feet, her body was suddenly hit by Jorge’s axe.

For the third time, the woman’s body was thrown hard.

“You must die!!!” Jorge screamed like crazy. “You ruined everything!!!”

No time for this. That’s what went through Elise’s head. She had to kill Jorge immediately to check Mona’s condition. The female warrior grabbed her sword, gripped it tightly, and forced herself to stand up, trying to ignore the pain in her body.

She pointed her sword forward again.

“What the fuck?” Jorge narrowed his eyes as the woman’s weapon emitted black smoke. The black smoke then wrapped around Elise’s armor, making it darker in color. Not only that, but Elise’s skin has also become paler, her eyes are yellow, and her hair is jet black.

Amidst the flaming scene around her, the female warrior laughed and squeezed her forehead instead of directly attacking. “I’m really sick of bad people like you. People like you should be exterminated like pests. You have no place in this world.”

Jorge was shaking, but he kept going forward and jumped, swinging his axe. However, Elise quickly plunged her sword into the ground, taking the hit.

Elise’s body didn’t move at all when hit by the giant weapon. Instead, Jorge’s ax bounced, sending the man off balance.

“I have to check on Mona right away.” Elise hissed, slashing at her opponent’s body.

The glowing red smoke escaped Jorge’s body and entered the female warrior’s sword.
