I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

"Could it be... that Ellie is going to be defeated?"

Lu Qiong stared intently at the Herrscher of Wind for a long time, then turned his gaze to Alicia, who was at a disadvantage and constantly retreating, and muttered to himself.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Having experienced such an intense battle against a Herrscher for the first time, Kevin's breathing was extremely disordered.

"Senior Airi, the Herrscher seems to be getting stronger and stronger. What should we do now?"

"Yes, that's true. It has almost completely mastered its power now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"How about... we make a tactical escape first?"

Despite the fact that she could be hit by an attack at any moment, Alicia remained unusually calm, and even her tone was somewhat teasing.

"it is good."

How do we escape?

Kevin asked in a very serious tone.

Now it was Alicia's turn to be shocked. She couldn't help but think to herself, "This new companion is really something else..."

"Ahem, that's not how it's written in the novel, is it? According to convention, you should condemn me for deserting from a moral standpoint, and then..."

"Forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Kevin was immediately speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, he explained with a strange expression, "Our chief instructor said that soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and... when conditions permit, and there are no ordinary civilians around, and when encountering an enemy they cannot face, they should not make unnecessary sacrifices."

Alicia's pretty face fell slightly. "Did your head instructor say that? Is his name Lu Qiong?"

Kevin was surprised. "Senior Ellie, how did you know? Are you also...?"

"I'm not!"

Alicia shook her head decisively.

"Hmph! That wretched little Qiong, he gave me so many awful nicknames and he has absolutely no sense of romance. Next time we meet, I'll definitely knock him out and make him wear a little skirt..."

"Ah!"

The man who was still watching the game suddenly sneezed uncontrollably. "Who's thinking about me?"

Rubbing his nose, Lu Qiong stopped thinking about these trivial matters.

"What on earth is Ellie doing? Run! Hehe, I'll take a picture of you as soon as you run away, and then I'll use it to mock you every day." Lu Qiong smiled mysteriously.

Good heavens, so that's what he was waiting for. No wonder he just watched when Ellie was losing.

Lu Qiong was forced into this situation; after all, this pink pig had repeatedly tricked Pado into doing things that were detrimental to him (forbidding him from going out at night, etc.).

.....................

Time ticked by, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire space.

However, at that moment, Ellie, who had been protecting Kevin, suddenly drew back her longbow, the bowstring taut and making a crisp sound.

Without hesitation, she fired five arrows in quick succession and sped away like lightning.

These arrows intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable defensive line, successfully blocking the Herrscher of Wind's fierce wind blade attacks.

Immediately afterward, Ellie turned around quickly, looked at Kevin with a determined gaze, and said urgently, "It's almost time, Kevin, you go first, I'll cover you!"

Kevin showed no sign of backing down in the face of Ellie's arrangements.

He gripped his weapon tightly, his face resolute, and shouted, "No, absolutely not! We must leave together!"

Ellie seemed a little annoyed, but she was just pretending to be angry.

She said angrily, "Didn't you just say that soldiers should take obedience to orders as their sacred duty? Well then, I hereby formally issue the order—retreat immediately!"

Kevin was not intimidated by Ellie's imposing manner. Instead, he retorted righteously, "I'm sorry, Captain, I simply cannot abandon my superior and flee alone!"

After saying that, Kevin, that hothead, resolutely changed direction and pounced straight at the Herrscher of the Wind!

This sudden action startled Ellie at first, then the girl sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Actually, I can handle it by myself, it just takes a bit of energy."

There was another little thought behind it: Ellie didn't want to completely expose all her abilities to the higher-ups of the Firemoth.

With Ellie's strength, she wasn't afraid of anything, but after all, "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," and she didn't want to create a bunch of meaningless troubles before achieving her goal.

Ugh!

With a soft sigh, Ellie glanced at the sky and then conjured a very special arrow.

....................

On the other side, the sudden turn caught Kevin off guard, causing the Wind Herrscher who was chasing behind to pause for a moment. Even if it was only for a moment, it created a considerable opportunity for Kevin.

The head of the Wind Herald is within reach!

Can Kevin hit it?

Stab it!

A blade of wind grazed Kevin's cheek, leaving a clearly visible bloodstain.
