Chapter 380: Prices to Pay
Five elves were traveling through the dense forest of Transverse Mountains . All five elves were beautiful women who looked eerily similar to each other . The only thing that differed between the elves were the bows they bore .
The five female elves were traveling at a high speed . Despite their pace, none of them appeared tired, and their breathing was still evenly paced .
They were sent by the elf elders on a mission, and their ultimate goal was to reconstruct the glory of the elven empire . The empire fell because of the elves’ peaceful nature . Unlike humans, they did not like war . Because of this, the elves were not as powerful as humans . Now, however, the elves had learned from humans and had become more warlike .
The five elves were all elites . The leader was famous for her ability to hit the target from any distance . Even though they still could not find what they were looking for, they were very calm and did not appear irritated .
The leader sudden stopped and raised her hand . The other four elves stopped as well . They felt the signal the druids sent .
In order to fight against a swordsmaster, the elves knew that they must split up to achieve maximum effect .
The elves slowed and began searching for a proper hiding spot . Soon, all five of them disappeared from view .
The elf to the left was hiding in the crown of a large tree . She narrowed her eyes as she felt a slight vibration in the tree under her . She jumped out of the tree and dashed forward .
The trunk of the tree she was standing on exploded, bits of wood flying . A figure in blue appeared and dashed towards the elf . In the figure’s hand was a gleaming longsword . The elf was shocked by the speed of her opponent . She tried to block the attack but her opponent was too strong . The sword broke her bow and plunged into her chest .
Suzanna spun around as the elf fell silently to the ground . She searched the forest and located another nearby elf . Just as she was about to dash towards the elf, she felt a sudden gust of wind . She turned around and slashed, pushing aside an incoming arrow with her sword . The arrow flew past her and buried itself into a nearby tree .
Suzanna’s eyes widened in shock . She didn’t know any of the elves, but she knew that whoever just fired that shot was very powerful . A normal archer would never be able to fire an arrow that could buried itself that deeply into a tree, especially not after the arrow was slowed by her sword . She realized that she had underestimated her opponents . Every time she tried to break out of her opponents’ formation, she would be forced back by arrows . The druids were not who she was concerned about . If she had just been facing druids, she could get away any time she wanted . The swordsmen posed no threat to her, either . She could easily defeat swordsmen and druids . It was the archer that worried her .
She couldn’t see the elf and knew that elves are hard to find . She had just engaged an enemy, and the archer had already fired . Clearly, this archer was very fast .
Finding a good hiding place was very hard . Suzanna spent a few minutes searching for an ideal hiding place and found a small cave in the side of the mountain . She ducked into the cave and listened carefully for any movement outside . She hoped that the cave would be enough to hide her from the druids .
She had only two choices right now . She had to either attack her weakest opponent or she would have to attack her strongest opponent . The archer would suffice, which was why she had targeted the archer .
What she did not know was that the druids were panicking due to the death of their leader . If they had not panicked and fallen for her simple trick, she would not have survived this .
Suzanna heard the sound of leaves rustling outside and knew that it was the archer she was waiting for . She quietly left the small cave and spotted the archer among the leaves . She jumped up and dashed towards the archer . She knew that she had to take out that archer in order to do anything else .
The unicorn stumbled after Suzanna, whinnying .
The archer saw Suzanna . She narrowed her eyes and nocked her bow, sending arrow after arrow towards Suzanna . She fired three arrows in mere seconds .
Suzanna had just left the cave when the first arrow came flying towards her . She raised her sword and deflected all three incoming arrows .
The archer did not expect to kill Suzanna with three arrows, anyway . Her speed of releasing arrows increased . The bow string vibrated violently every time she let an arrow loose . The other elves joined her as well, sending arrows after Suzanna at incredible speed .
Suzanna did not back away in the face of a storm of arrows . She summoned more combat power and pushed forward . She held the sword out in front of her and increased her speed .
The archer frowned . A green arrow appeared in her hand . She nocked the bow slowly, the bow pointing at not Suzanna but at the crown of the tree she was standing in . The arrow disappeared into the tree crown .
Suzanna dashed forward, pushing through the storm of arrows . Suddenly, a green arrow fell towards Suzanna from above . The arrow pierced through her combat power and headed towards her .
Suzanna was wearing light blue armor and the arrow bounced off of it . Blue light rippled around the place where the arrow hit Suzanna’s armor .
The elf frowned . "It couldn’t be…" she whispered .
Suzanna was wearing Baery’s gift, Azure Armor . She knew that it was a very powerful suit of armor and she only wore it when she was certain she needed the extra protection .
Suzanna pressed on, ignoring the strange green arrow . She needed to get close to the archer . The archer sighed, and another green arrow appeared in her hand . She did not want to back down in front of a human . Her hands were very steady as she released a second green arrow .
The green arrow flew towards Suzanna and transformed into a green net . Suzanna’s combat power flared up and tore through the net . Normally, the net would be more than enough to trap her . However, Suzanna knew that she had nothing to lose .
The archer frowned . Like Suzanna, she had underestimated her opponent as well . However, she did not waver in front of Suzanna .
Suzanna jumped up towards the archer . Both Suzanna and the archer knew that only one of them could walk away from this fight . Suzanna bellowed as she pointed her sword at the archer and attacked .
The archer nocked a strange, gold arrow . The arrow clashed with Suzanna’s combat power and disappeared into its light . A second later, Suzanna’s sword pierced the archer’s body .
The archer screamed in pain as she and Suzanna fell towards the forest floor . They crashed to the ground . The archer coughed in pain as Suzanna pulled her sword free . A few moments later, the archer drew her last breath and was still .
The other elves, seeing their leader being murdered in cold blood, knew that they were no match for Suzanna . They glanced at each other and quickly disappeared into the forest, fleeing the scene .
Suzanna dashed towards the fleeing elves . She caught up to one of them and stabbed the elf through the chest . Then she left the wounded elf and killed another one . However, one of the elves had already disappeared .
Suzanna sighed and took a few steps back . She knew that the elf wouldn’t be coming back . Her combat power was nearly depleted and she needed to rest . She had to recover before the druids found her, or else she will not walk away from this fight .
