791 Saving the elven planet III
Farther away from Nine, in the sky, Yue glanced down at the devastation; she could hear the desperate cries of countless elves battling the demons.
Nevertheless, she stayed calm, not letting the bloodbath happening all around affect her as her graceful figure wove through the throng of demons surrounding her with a speed that bordered on teleportation.
She used spells and skills to unleash powerful attacks on the demons to reach Bia and Nox. The two beasts had finished eliminating the demons in their vicinity, but some powerful unfamiliar individuals had suddenly surrounded them. Yue wanted to get to them as soon as possible.
However, when her spiritual and divine energy began to wane, she drew two silver blades from her mind space, their surfaces gleaming ominously in the dim light.
With a fierce glint in her amber eyes, she engaged in close combat, the air trembled under pressure as she lunged forward, her blades dancing in a deadly rhythm.
Each strike of her gleaming blades was precise, a seamless blend of elegance and ferocity as she sliced through the bodies of her enemies. The demons, sensing her shift in tactics, also stopped using their skills and spells, but their confidence wavered in the face of her relentless assault.
They murmured loud curses as they regrouped, attempting to counter her swift movements, but they failed. Her thin blades were too fast, and before the victims could react, their bodies were already cut. Finally, a deep sense of fear settled in the pits of the demons' stomachs, and many of them attempted to flee, but it was too late.
Cries of pain erupted in the air as their bodies fell one after another. With the last of the enemies gone, Yue shook her blades to clear the dark, murky blood from their surfaces as she calmed her breathing.
'Not bad.'
A familiar voice whispered softly in her mind, and her grip on the blades tightened as she recalled the time she practiced her close combat skills with Kyle. She shook her head, trying to dismiss the thoughts that surfaced, muttering to herself.
"Hiss... He couldn't even give me a decent compliment. Next time, I am going to coax a lot of compliments out of him. Let him just show up again."
Of course, she was talking about Kyle. With the demons around her dead, she moved to help Bia and Nox, feeling grateful that she had become proficient with blades.
She had always been skilled with many weapons, but as a mage, her true strength had always lain in ranged fighting. However, that was no longer the case.
Now her close combat skills had become so powerful and refined that she couldn't help but remember the one responsible.
Just like Neon and the rest, she had also fought and received training from Kyle.
However, unlike the others, who always ended up badly bruised and battered, Kyle was particularly indulgent with her.
Perhaps that was the benefit of being his lover, which often made the others, who got beaten up, feel sour to the core.
One could say he never attacked her; he only dodged whenever she tried to strike and would sometimes get quite handsy. Still, he trained and taught her just like the others, without mercy, particularly in how to wield blades with such precision that her enemies couldn't evade her attacks.
Bia noticed Yue's approaching figure, and with a powerful surge of divine energy, she flapped her massive wings and conjured a tornado of blazing golden flames to distract the enemies surrounding her and Nox.
Bia and Nox snickered as they swiftly transformed into their human forms when Yue tossed her blades at them, whispering while sweat trickled down her nape.
"Finish them; I can only hold their bodies still for a short time."
Fear and terror finally flickered in the eyes of the people surrounding Yue and the two trancendent rank beasts as they witnessed her manipulating the natural law of gravity to the extent of immobilizing them.
They wanted to run, scream for help, and explain to the beasts who had transformed into two beautiful humans right before their very eyes that they were compelled by dark contracts, which was the reason they had attacked them. Yet, they found themselves unable to speak or move, forced to watch in horror as their life force was extinguished.
On the land, Nine and Regius, who were eliminating all the demons surrounding the elven Queen and the supreme-rank elves, also sensed the gravitational pressure.
Regius glanced up for a brief moment. The pressure affected not only the enemies but every single person on the planet, except for the people at the supreme rank.
"They don't need help…"
Nine hummed in agreement. Yue was not weak, and with Bia and Nox by her side, he knew she could handle the enemies.
