Iritellis, who was standing behind Lathel, could clearly see his back, which was covered in wounds and blood.
‘He… because he protected me, he was injured so seriously?’
She clenched her teeth and walked to his side: “I’m not a coward; I will fight with you.”
Lathel: “…”
‘Sister! You are my second sister; how can you fight if you don’t have energy?’
‘At least I have the ability to recover and revive once again thanks to the blessing of the goddess of nature. What do you have? You only have one life.’
Lathel really wanted to say these words, but that was his biggest secret.
His healing ability comes from the fact that he is a half vampire and the blessing of the goddess of nature… That is his final trump card.
If he said it, the opponent would definitely not only kill him but also burn him to ashes and pour his ashes into the sewer; then, even if he had 10 blessings from the goddess of nature, he still wouldn’t be able to live.
But… he looked around, and seeing that everything was foggy, he secretly sighed in his heart.
Even if he let Iritellis run, where would she run to?
“Huh! A dirty and rotten couple is also good; let me purify this world and make this world brighter.” Venfina shouted angrily.
She put a leaf in the bowstring and pulled it tightly. Lathel saw this and immediately seized this opportunity.
‘She needs a short time to gather her energy and shoot the wind arrow; in this short time… maybe… I can…’
Lathel didn’t think too much anymore as he rushed towards her. His body seemed to turn into a stream of silver and red light, as he rushed towards Venfina like a cannonball.
“Fool! Do you think I need to spend a lot of time shooting a wind arrow?” Venfina muttered disdainfully.
Venfina let go, and the bowstring pushed the leaf out. The leaf seemed as if it had no weight, but it shot out like an arrow.
On the way, the wind suddenly gathered around the leaf, forming a giant arrow of wind. At the centre of the arrow was a blue leaf.
“What?!” Lathel was startled; he didn’t think that Venfina could use that skill instantly.
He gritted his teeth and stomped hard on the ground in order to change direction.
In this small moment, he luckily moved aside, and the wind arrow flew past him.
“Ack!” Lathel cried out in pain.
A blast of wind shot out from the knife-sharp arrow, instantly leaving a cut on Lathel’s side.
However, things didn’t stop there. That arrow strangely suddenly stopped in mid-air, then shrank itself into a blue ball of wind.
“That’s… not good…” Lathel endured the pain as he ran towards Iritellis.
When he saw that ball of wind, he immediately realised what Venfina wanted to do next.
In the middle of the wind ball, the leaf was decomposed into countless small pieces. At the same time, the wind ball was also slowly compressed.
Lathel realised it was a bomb; the fragments of the leaf would be like bullets, fired at terrible speed.
“Run!” Lathel ran and shouted towards Iritellis.
Iritellis also noticed something was wrong, she raised her hands and created a grey magic circle.
BAM!
However, that magic circle immediately exploded into countless particles of light, like a bubble. Iritellis was also startled, but she knew why this happened.
The magical energy in her body was not enough to use magic.
BOOM!
A terrible explosion rang out, and Lathel promptly hugged Iritellis, shielding her with his entire body.
Lathel spat out a mouthful of blood as he felt countless fragments sticking into his back, causing him so much pain that he almost lost consciousness.
“Lathel… you…”
“Shut up!” Lathel shouted, stopping Iritellis from speaking.
Terrible winds swept around, carrying countless grains of sand that scratched his back.
Iritellis was scared; even though she was protected by Lathel, she still felt the power coming from the explosion that had just occurred. There were even a few grains of sand stuck into her body, causing her pain.
Iritellis could see that without Lathel’s protection, she was afraid her body would have countless holes like her ancestor’s.
A moment later, the hurricane slowly disappeared. Lathel gasped for air and slowly let go of Iritellis.
Iritellis immediately hugged him and hurriedly asked: “Oy! Are you okay? You…”
Her words immediately stopped when she felt that his back was a bit sticky.
She raised her hand and was startled when she saw her hand covered in blood and scraps of meat.
Iritellis stood up, saw Lathel’s back, and tears suddenly flowed out: “You… you…”
She hesitated and still couldn’t say anything. Lathel’s back had now been worn down to the point where the flesh inside could be seen.
However, that layer of flesh had turned into a mixture of crushed meat, skin, and blood.
Even if it wasn’t Iritellis who was injured, she could still feel the pain Lathel was feeling.
“Are you crazy? Why did you protect me like that?” Iritellis shouted as tears flowed out of her eyes.
Lathel panted; he also had a headache; he couldn’t talk properly, so he silently said in his heart: ‘Can’t you see I can’t breathe? How can I answer you?’
He tried to take a deep breath and said: “You are my woman… I… I have to protect you…”
“You.. you…” Iritellis bit her lip until it bled. She didn’t understand why this human youth would do this.
They had just met not long ago, and even then, their meeting was not at all romantic.
One is a noble, and the other is a slave; a situation like this should not have happened.
He should have left her and run away.
He should have given her to Venfina and run away.
“So touching.” Venfina slowly walked forward, the arrow in her bow was formed and aimed straight at Iritellis and Lathel.
“Watching two dirty rats protect each other makes me feel even more nauseous.”
“Why are there dirty things like you in this world? The existence of humans and you Dark-Elves makes this world even dirtier.”
“That’s why… go away, you inferior trash.”
Iritellis turned her head and looked towards Venfina. Her gaze scaring Venfina.
This was the first time Venfina had seen eyes filled with such hatred and anger. That look seemed to say that she would be torn into small pieces by Iritellis.
“Venfina… You better not let me live; otherwise… I will tear you apart, chew your bones, and drink your blood.” Iritellis raised her voice.
“Huh! Don’t worry… I’ll let you and him die together, you lowlifes.” Venfina said contemptuously: “It is your honour to die by my arrow.”
Iritellis stood in front of Lathel and said softly: “My life is just a series of days of hiding… Lathel, you are the first person to protect me with all your life.”
“Maybe you really are a good person, but… sorry, I dragged you into this trouble again.”
“Do not speak like that.” Lathel sighed, trying to use the last bit of strength to say, “I told you, you are my woman; I will protect you.”
He held cauldron tightly in his hand. As long as Venfina shot that arrow, he would let Cauldron block it.
Even though he could only use Cauldron twice, he could only risk his life to buy more time and pray that someone would come save him.
Hearing that, Iritellis no longer felt fear in her heart; instead, she felt sweet.
“Thank you. If we are still alive after today, will we continue what we left unfinished?”
“Of course.” Lathel forced a smile.
Of course, it had to continue; after all, that was the reason he bought her. Start a harem with a Dark Elf; moreover, Dark Elf also worships the ‘goddess of lust’.
Who else could be more suitable than her for him to start a multi-racial harem?
“Tch!” Venfina clicked her tongue and angrily shouted: “Don’t dirty my eyes anymore.”
“Go to hell!”
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind whistled, and Iritellis used all the magical energy in her body to form a magic circle in front of her.
Lathel also clutched Cauldron at this time, as he wanted to use Cauldron to block the wind arrow to help Iritellis.
Time seemed to slow down. Iritellis saw the wind arrow getting closer and closer, and she felt desperate.
Iritellis knew very well that her magic circle could not stop that wind arrow, and she even knew more clearly that that arrow would pierce her like a piece of paper.
KANG!
While Iritellis was desperate, suddenly, a sword flew down from above, crushed the wind arrow, and penetrated the ground.
Iritellis and Lathel were startled when they saw that great sword. However, they also felt lucky to have survived the wind arrow.
“Ah! Did a rat dare to sneak into the Karol Empire? Interesting…”
A voice filled with ridicule rang out. From afar, a person walking in the fog slowly moved towards this place.
No, to be more precise, the mist was avoiding that person as if it were scared.
“Who?!” Venfina shouted. .
“Huh! Sneaking into the Karol Empire, harming the Duke of this Empire… tell me… how should I deal with you?” That person walked and talked; her voice was very gentle, but it made Venfina start to feel worried.
“Humanity is dirty and low, I advise you not to interfere in my business.” Venfina said arrogantly: “I’m helping you clean up the trash.”
“Hahahaha… hahahaha…” The mysterious person laughed crazily.
Lathel saw that person coming out of the fog and was surprised. The girl had shoulder-length brown hair and wore heavy armour. .
“Captain Laura?” Lathel muttered.
Laura walked to Lathel’s side, saw the wounds on his body, and frowned: “Are you okay?”
Lathel: “…”
“Guess what…”
