Chapter 451 - Confrontations

Placing her hand above the roof, Elaris used her ice magic at a small point. A small hole appeared in the frozen spot, summoning an ice fly she changed its color and made it enter through the hole to observe who was inside. The three were confident that no one would notice because their bodies were wrapped in Cavirieth's invisible barrier.

'We still haven't located the locator mage, but he didn't feel anything thanks to Cavirieth'

[You're going after him, right? How do you intend to find him?]

'It's not me who will find him'

He observed Elaris with his eyes closed, the one who would go after that mage was her. The plan was that Enrico or Kai, as they were the fastest after her discovery, would warn the circle sevens who came to attack him together.

'But I have a different plan, I will eliminate him myself'

'Are you thinking of using some incredible plan? Because I doubt you can defeat a circle eight even if he is support'

'You will see when the time comes'

"I observed the entire room and there is only my sister and her two childhood friends"

Opening her eyes Elaris spoke to the two who accompanied her. Since those three were alone it was time to take advantage of the moment so she pointed to the sky and made a cloud of ice appear on a tower of the castle in the distance. The other mages who were hidden began to attack immediately all the guards that appeared running in front of them in surprise.

"How did they manage to enter inside the castle?"

"Guards hold them back"

The primitive guards were killed quickly, but a second wave of soldiers appeared there to face the elves and some dark elves which surprised the guards somewhat because they thought only they had those elves on their side. Returning to where the three were above the castle, they saw several attacks begin to occur throughout the castle area, inside and outside, it was a perfectly positioned attack to draw attention in many places. That way they would have to divide even more to help those places.

"Send the ice fly to look for him through the castle, but for now let's start the direct attack on Elithia"

With her hand making a signal both Enrico and Kai disappeared and each fell from the roof to one side of the castle. Elaris stayed above counting the microseconds in her mind. Something all high circle mages could do, because they needed that capacity for high level fights of their circle.

'Now'

Inside Elithia began to walk out of the room with her two childhood companions. When they reached the middle of the corridor and Volhit was about to try to communicate with the guards outside. Two shadows appeared outside the window on opposite sides which caught the attention of the three who noticed at the same time. Volhit already turned to one direction and Sylwen to the other.

"I take the left-"

Before the two could react the windows had already been broken with the two shadows in front of them. Kai with the blade at Volhit's neck, and Enrico with the lines of fire around Sylwen's body. The two would react to that speed of the surprise attack but when they heard a sound coming from behind they saw Elithia with her arms crossed in front of her being pressed into the castle floor by an explosion of ice, which disconcerted both for a moment long enough to receive the attacks.

"Aaahh"

Sylwen let out a scream of pain when her right arm was cut by the lines of fire she had managed to dodge some of the lines in time, but one had managed to wrap around her arm. Meanwhile Kai's sword cut appeared on Volhit's neck making him grind his teeth. His head was only not cut off because he was a circle seven. Now Queen Elithia had been dragged to the dungeon below by that power and Elaris went along. Kai pressed his foot on the ground to propel himself.

'Damn even having the speed of a circle seven I still don't have the full power of what could be done'

He continued his attack going directly toward Sylwen while Enrico passed by him to stop Volhit who tried to run to where the queen had been dragged. If Enrico had used his maximum speed like he used in the forest he wouldn't have been able to use fire magic directly, that's why he had to simply behave like a circle six.

'With this I have to be different'

"Get out of the way invader"

Volhit drew his sword from the sheath and tried to cut Enrico's chest. Putting his hand in front he held the sword with his right hand while clenching his left into a fist. Surprised that his attack was held by someone who seemed to be a circle six, the elf had his face struck by the opponent's fist.

'Mana exchange pact for the body'

Outside the castle, all the windows shattered instantly. The entire structure vibrated as if it were going to split in half, unable to withstand the pressure released by the blow. Only the barrier that multiplied the castle's resistance hundreds of times prevented it from collapsing, being one of the things the queen improved in the barrier. Volhit spat blood from his mouth having taken heavy damage even though he managed to stay standing and was dragged several meters backward.

'That blow was as strong as an average circle seven spell, is this human a peak circle seven?'

"Cutting magic cube of cuts"

With a simple movement of the sword a quantity of straight and horizontal cuts surrounded Enrico in the shape of a cube closing any escape route.

Since Enrico could not use magic in that state where he exchanged mana for body enhancement he instead of trying to think of something simply went straight at the attack. Putting his hands in front he crossed that cube of cuts with pure brute force. Of course some of the cuts appeared on his body since he was fighting a circle seven.

'What? Damn with this I confirmed he really is someone with a body at the peak of our circle'

Behind him Enrico appeared with his fist raised but he managed to react with a mana shield that appeared on his back. He was called the perfect knight for a reason. His magical affinities were unique among the elves. In fact he was unique. He was not born with an elemental magic affinity nor any other type. So he created his own magical affinities through pure training. Cutting magic and shield magic, Volhit was a prodigy among elves for evolving quickly but at the same time he was a flaw.

"I will say it only once more get out of my way"

"Your loyalty is high but I am also a loyal subordinate so I will only leave your way dead"

Enrico's fist was stopped on Volhit's mana shield the two were serious. Kai was facing Sylwen on the other side of the room and she seemed to want to help Volhit in the fight but was prevented by Kai who stayed in front of her. The situation seemed bad for them. Until several hooded figures appeared at the door making the fight stop.

"How interesting, it's been a long time since we saw each other boy"

Hearing that voice Enrico turned his face toward the door seeing a young dark elf. Without a doubt by the way Valdir stood protectively beside him that was Sairao.
