“Let! Go! Of! Her! Hand!”
Jenom’s magic power surged, and she raised the short staff she held in her other hand.
“No!”
lika’s face paled, and she let out a panicked cry. Lucy and the others also looked alard.
But it was too late to stop her.
“[Tinder]!”
Jenom shouted.
A small fla appeared on her raised staff and shot towards Shien like a firebolt. It was a small fla, like one from a torch, showing that Jenom was controlling her magic power and limiting the spell’s power.
Since this was the most basic fire spell, its effect in this world would at most be a light burn.
Although angry, Jenom hadn’t completely lost her mind and attacked recklessly.
This firebolt was aid at Shien’s hand holding lika’s, clearly intending to make him let go.
However, reality was often disappointing.
“Whoosh!”
Without even moving, Shien swatted away the incoming firebolt like a fly.
“Bang!”
With a small explosion, the firebolt scattered like sparks.
“Huh?”
Jenom was stunned.
Then, she t Shien’s knowing gaze.
“If you want to let go, you’ll have to do better than that.”
Shien’s words were ambiguous, unclear whether he ant letting go of lika’s hand, or letting go of lika entirely, allowing her to leave him.
Jenom took it as a provocation.
Her magic power surged, and her short staff glowed brightly.
“[Burn Off]!”
The elven girl finally got serious, unleashing a powerful spell.
This was an interdiate fire spell that lika could also use.
Shien had already used [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] to observe and knew Jenom’s strength.
This elf girl was level fifty-one and possessed both [Fire Magic] and [Ice Magic] skills, both at level six, close to level seven.
Once a magic skill reached level seven, the magician could use advanced magic, putting them among the upper echelon of magicians.
Jenom, cultivating two types of magic simultaneously and reaching near-advanced level at a level below sixty, showed that lika was right. Her childhood friend was indeed talented, no wonder she was considered a potential candidate for the Elven Corps.
And just like lika, Jenom also mastered fire and ice magic. It seed lika was right; they had indeed been doing the sa things since childhood.
The only difference was that Jenom’s talent in magic was slightly better than lika’s.
Otherwise, without traveling and only training in the Elven Holand, Jenom couldn’t have reached this level and skill level.
These stats were much better than lika’s when Shien first t her.
Having done the sa things, undergone the sa training, and learned the sa magic since childhood, yet Jenom was slightly better than lika in all aspects. No wonder lika felt she could never catch up and decided to leave the village.
Unfortunately, against Shien, this level was clearly insufficient.
“Bang!”
As the flas erupted and ford a burning curtain, Shien swatted it away with his hand, the powerful interdiate spell scattering with a bang.
“What?”
Jenom was shocked, unable to believe her eyes.
Although that spell wasn’t her strongest, it was still a serious attack, completely different from the initial spell ant to just force Shien back.
If Shien had also used his full strength to counter it, she could accept it being ineffective.
But what did this man from another race do?
He just swatted it away with his hand!
A single slap, and her serious spell was scattered?
How… how was this possible!?
The shocked Jenom didn’t know that even in the past, Shien could withstand her magic with his [Magic Resistance] skill, let alone now.
Having fused various resistance and defense skills, Shien’s [Inner Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree] provided him with almost invincible defense below the transcendent level.
To harm the current Shien, one needed either a transcendent-level attack, a special Unique Skill that could penetrate defenses, or a divine weapon like the Holy Sword.
An interdiate spell cast by a level fifty-one magician?
Frankly speaking, it wasn’t even enough to tickle him!
Shien smirked and, while Jenom was stunned, pulled lika towards him forcefully.
Jenom, caught off guard, loosened her grip.
“Ah!”
lika cried out in surprise again.
But this ti, with this cry, lika was pulled into Shien’s arms.
Yes.
Shien embraced lika.
“Huh?”
lika let out a silly sound.
“Aaaaaaaaaah!”
Jenom finally reacted. Seeing this scene, she let out an earth-shattering scream.
Shien ignored this and, amidst lika’s surprised cries, lifted her into a princess carry.
“M-Mr. Shien…!?”
lika’s voice cracked as she instinctively wrapped her arms around Shien’s neck, her face turning bright red as she realized what was happening.
Shien ignored lika, sniffing the sweet fragrance on her and feeling her delicate body in his arms, seemingly satisfied. He turned to Lucy and the others.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll play with this girl for a bit.”
Saying so, Shien, still carrying lika, leaped onto a glowing tree amidst her continuous cries of surprise.
Then, Shien continued leaping from tree to tree, his figure flashing, heading into the distance.
Jenom could only stare blankly at this scene, finally understanding after a while.
“lika… was taken away by a man…?”
After a stunned murmur, an astonishing magic power erupted from Jenom’s body.
It was an incredibly powerful magic power.
Jenom had exploded.
“Stop! Right! There!”
The elven girl roared like a demon, then started running, chasing after Shien.
Soon, the figures of Shien, lika, and Jenom, chasing each other, disappeared into the distance.
“What… what’s going on?”
“Was that Jenom just now?”
“It was Jenom…”
“Why is she so angry?”
“I don’t know…”
“Is she chasing after soone?”
“It seems so.”
“I saw a dark shadow fly overhead.”
“ too.”
“What happened?”
The surrounding elves, noticing the commotion, started discussing amongst themselves, surprised and confused.
Only Lucy, Lasha, Millu, and Lilith remained, looking in the direction where Shien and the others had disappeared, silent for a long ti.
“？？?”
“？？?”
Lilith and Millu tilted their heads, their faces full of question marks.
The current situation had clearly confused these two little girls with their not-so-mature minds.
They subconsciously wanted to follow, but Lasha held them back.
“Should we follow them, Princess Lucy?”
Lasha turned to Lucy and asked softly.
Lucy rolled her eyes.
Follow?
Follow what?
Help that bastard chase after a girl?
No way!
Lucy could tell that Shien had noticed lika’s affection and wasn’t planning to let her go.
Perhaps that idiot didn’t know about the elven view of love, or their pure and selfless devotion, but he definitely knew that if a cute girl threw herself at him, he wouldn’t be a man if he didn’t devour her completely.
Under such circumstances, Lucy didn’t want to follow and watch her future husband flirt with a pure elven girl.
Therefore…
“Let’s go, let’s play on our own and leave them alone.”
Lucy said, pretending to be unconcerned, and pulled Lasha’s hand, walking away without looking back.
“…”
Lasha glanced at Lucy’s hand holding hers, then chose to remain silent.
“Play?”
“Play!”
Lilith and Millu quickly put aside their confusion and beca excited again.
Just like that, Shien ran off with lika.
With soone chasing after them.
