Chapter 1433: Father
The longsword landed on the magical screens, and dazzling sparks rained down as if it was striking against multilayered metal sheets. The layers of magical screens were disappearing at a visible speed, which made the attack look rather unstoppable.
The purple-striped griffin’s golden claws were also grabbing hard at the magical screens, accelerating the annihilation of the magical screens.
Although it looked like a hot knife cutting through b.u.t.ter, n.o.body knew that Mag’s hand that was grasping his sword was already trembling underneath his robe.
He only had a 9th-tier power now. Even though hacking 10th-tier magical screens had sparks flying all over, only he knew the pain within.
Hence, when there were only three thin but toughest layers of the screens left, he suddenly stopped and pressed gently on Ah Zi’s back, and made it glide across Helena from the side.
Almost at the same time, three silver meteors crashed down on the spot where the griffin was at previously, leaving three big craters on the ground.
Meanwhile, after the purple-striped griffin avoided Helena, it dashed toward a 10th-tier elven magic caster who was consolidating his power nearby. It sent him flying with him watching it coming right at him with his terrified gaze. Even when he had set three, four magical screens in that very instant, he was still sent flying hundreds of meters backward. He was completely buried after he crashed into a big patch of trees.
The purple-striped griffin transformed into a purple lightning, and dashed amongst the elven magic casters like a wolf in a herd of sheep. With the purple-striped griffin’s immense speed and power and Mag’s talking down, they had completely disrupted the combined attack’s formation.
The elves who were good at magical attacks panicked at entering close combat.
They couldn’t even manage to protect themselves, so they could no longer attack Irina effectively.
“Vincent, are you going to betray the elven race with your whole family?” Elliot took a few steps back and smirked at Vincent, who was holding his longsword, with elation in his eyes.
“Princess Irina is right. The elven race doesn’t need any power or ranks. What we truly need is to return to our true nature and freedom. Without them, elves would be no longer elves.” Vincent grabbed his sword with both hands as his sharp gaze became fixed on Elliot. “I think what you all are doing now isn’t right, so I am leading the Baibilly Family back onto the right path. This is not a betrayal. This is a correction.”
“Ha. Since you chose to stand on Irina’s side, that means you have declared the demise of the Baibilly Family. In this case, the betrothal between Sally and Blour naturally no longer stands.” Elliot pointed his magic caster’s staff at Vincent and smirked. “Then you shall die along with your family!”
The s.p.a.ce was frozen immediately, and the Ice Burst Magic killed that white eagle instantly. Vincent landed on the ice lightly. He tapped on the ice lightly as he evaded the countless icicles and exploding ice orbs. He swung his sword to slash open the ice wall in front of him, and then closed up on Elliot rapidly.
Similar melees were taking place on the battlefield everywhere at the same time. Those elves that chose to support Irina attacked those elves ambus.h.i.+ng her without any regard for their own safety. They were relentless even when they were not strong enough.
Blour grasped the amulet, and retreated with red eyes.
“Go.” Sally suddenly appeared beside him. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the forest at the side.
“The princess will definitely find her way out of here. You have to leave right now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape after the princess and Alex leave,” Sally said to Blour. “A battle of this scale is already beyond our control. However, today will definitely be written into the history books of the elves.”
Blour calmed down gradually, and said to Sally, “What about you? Are you coming with us?”
Sally shook her head. “I am going to stay. Although the slaves were liberated, there are still a lot of problems with the elven race. I’m still useful to Helena, so maybe I could still make some changes for the elves.”
“Take care.” After casting a final glance at Sally, Blour turned to leave.
“Oh, yes. Say hi to Boss and Amy for me. I rather miss the taste of the rainbow fried rice,” Sally said softly.
“Alright.” Blour didn’t turn around, and swiftly disappeared in the forest.
Sally looked at the direction in which Blour had disappeared, and softly murmured to herself. “Perhaps… we can only meet again after a very long time.”
She looked at Alex das.h.i.+ng in and out of the elven crowd on the griffin’s back seven times. Would the one meant for her eventually appear? Or maybe all she wanted was a warm man who could cook?
Even though the battlefield was in a mess, Helena still had the upper hand. She quickly gained control of the civil unrest, and stabilized the situation with her advantage in manpower.
“Go now, Princess!” an aged elf shouted at Irina while he was pierced through the heart by many arrows instantly. He collapsed to the floor with his eyes wide open.
Similar scenes were happening everywhere on the battlefield. They weren’t strong, but as they were determined to buy time for Irina to escape, they were prepared to sacrifice their lives heroically.
Mag chopped off an arm of a 10th-tier great magic caster with a swipe of his sword. He turned to look at those dead elves who sacrificed themselves heroically yet silently with a solemn expression. He looked at Irina, who was trying to a.s.sist those elves from the crown of the Tree of Life again. He turned the griffin around and flew toward her.
“Let’s go!” Mag shouted as the griffin flew close to the Tree of Life.
Irina hesitated for a brief moment before leaping onto the griffin’s back.
“We should go now.” Mag looked at those elves who were surrounded again with a sunken heart. Darkness had descended again, and the starry sky magic was getting stronger.
“Mm-hm,” Irina answered with a sorrowful expression.
“Ah Zi, let’s dash out of here,” Mag said as he grasped his longsword with both hands and slashed it forward. A tear was ripped in the black screen.
“Ow…” Ah Zi let out a long howl before spreading its wings, and das.h.i.+ng out from the tear.
Mag flicked a glance backward, and he saw an elven knight chop off Elliot’s arm. He was also pounced on, bombed, and buried by magic almost at the same time.
He had read about this knight from the elves’ information. Vincent, the patriarch of the Baibilly Family, a timid and overcautious elf, and Blour’s father.
The purple-striped griffin burst out from the gap in the Starry Sky Domain, and swiftly flew southward.
The Wind Forest, with the smoke beacons burning all over, seemed to have just gone through a calamity. There were burned and damaged buildings everywhere.
“Change is never a simple matter.” Mag tilted his head and softly consoled Irina, who was silent.
“Mm-hmm,” Irina answered softly. She then hugged Mag gently from the back, and burrowed her face in his back.
