The whole gate had a silent atmosphere hearing their request. People were confused why they wanted a light mage so badly that they want to attack a human settlement.
"Who are you? State your name," Elisha felt something strange about them because until today other races barely interact with each other.
Especially long living races like elves, dark elves, and vampires weren't interested in interacting with humans. Elves had a life expectancy of 400 years which is four times that of humans and dark elves had a life expectancy of 250 which is two times that of humans, even though humans were great in number they were less powerful than other races.
"It doesn't matter to you just hand over the light mage girl," One who looked like the leader of this group shouted.
Elisha gave a signal to Carol telling her to get ready for a fight. She quickly asked all the mana cannon users and archers to get ready. Most of the people in the tribe knew that Carol was like a sister to Elisha so, they didn't hesitate to accept her orders.
"We won't hand over anyone to you," Elisha ordered archers to shoot at them right after they finished talking.
"Foolish humans!" The leader of the dark elf army had a mocking tone in her voice.
Elisha expected their archers to at least damage the front line but, surprisingly all of them managed to protect themselves from the arrows.
"What the hell is that? Why don't our arrows get through?"Archers started to panic seeing some kind of a shield.
"Tsk~ how do they have magic tools? Who are these people?"
Magic tools were very hard to find as they are made from mana stones that are high quality that can store a lot of mana for a long time. Normally high-level monsters have that kind of mana stone. It's highly risky but highly advantageous to have things like this.
Mana cannon is also a type of magic tool as it uses mana stones but, they are relatively easy to make than those complex barriers and storage tools.
"Shoot them with mana cannons, even if they have magic tools, they won't be able to hold out for long," Carol ordered while going back to see Elisha.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUsha and Eva were getting ready with their weapons to fight but suddenly something huge crashed on the wall causing most of them to focus their attention on it.
"Monsters! Monsters are attacking, shoot them," Elisha shouted but it was too late as the wooden gate suddenly broke with a high sound.
"Damn it! Archers keep focusing on them, and warriors follow me, we will hold the gate," Both Carol and Elisha went to protect the gate.
Usha and Eva also followed them as both of them were more proficient in close range than fighting in long ranges.
"Chief! These monsters are entering the city, We can't stop them," Soldiers were looking at them with fear and anger. There were a few small ones but, the leader of the dark elf group was riding the biggest one among the group.
"Haha~ foolish humans, Die for our race's sake," Monsters started crushing girls with their big bodies causing some of them to back up, Elisha couldn't help but grit her teeth seeing her fellow tribe girls getting killed by them.
"Carol, can you help me to defeat those things? I can't let them kill more of our people," Elisha decided to face the monsters by herself. She wasn't confident about taking down all of them so she asked for help from her best friend.
"What are you talking about? Of course, I would help you," She gave her a reassuring smile.
"We will help too," Usha and Eva were looking at them with fiery passion in their eyes but, Elisha didn't want them to face these monsters yet.
"No you two will lead the battle here, let us take care of them," Elisha said to which Carol nodded her head in approval.
"But-" They wanted to complain but Elisha didn't change her mind.
Leaving Usha and Eva, they went to the place where the monsters were rampaging. Elisha looked at the monsters but she couldn't identify them as she had never seen these types of monsters before.
Both Carol and Elisha quickly ran in the direction of the monsters trying to take down the small ones to prevent them from getting surrounded by them when fighting the big one.
Just like Usha, Elisha was more of a speed and accuracy user instead of power, she had the fire element but her mana proficiency wasn't enough to be a mage but even she could use basic spells.
Magic spells are divided into two parts as Basic and Advanced spells. There was only one difference between them, and that is no non-mages can use advanced spells and basic spells can be even used without being a mage as long as you had enough mana.
Mages of fire, water, wind and earth element were rather easy to find than light and dark element mages. Most of the time mages are given extra treatment because of their valuableness. Both Ron and Kano tribes had a lot of mages but, only Elisha had something unusual among them.
Carol also knew about it, but until now she never really went out of the way to question Elisha about it. The ron tribe had a rare light mage.
Both Elisha and Carol didn't know why these people wanted a light mage but, they knew one thing that, it cannot be for something good.
Elisha and Carol managed to kill several small monsters that were flocking around the big one, but they noticed one thing, these monsters had something strange about them. Rather than monsters, they acted like corpses.
"Carol, do you know what type these monsters are?" Elisha questioned her.
"Never seen!" Carol answered while dodging the attacks of some dark elves, she killed all the monsters in her surrounding.
"Oh! You're holding good unlike these weaklings," Elisha heard the voice of the leader of dark elves. She was riding on the big monster's back like nothing.
"Who are you?" Elisha didn't expect her to answer her question but, surprisingly the leader introduced herself to them.
"I guess I'll introduce myself, my name is Eldora Norsos as you can see I'm a dark elf, state your name too, human," Both Elisha and Carol found her name familiar as they have heard it before but, they couldn't remember exactly where.
"I'm Elisha Ron and she's Carol Kano, Eldora, why do you want a light mage and why are you attacking us like this?" She was so angry looking at all the corpses on the floor but, she didn't let her anger control her as she remained calm and calculative.
"It has nothing to do with you, just hand over her," Eldora said with her egocentric voice.
Elisha was thinking about how to take her down while talking to her, and she let other girls handle the dark elves while Carol and her attention were on their boss.
"Oh, you two are coming to fight me alone," Eldora had a mocking tone in her voice seeing their plan to fight her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We can't beat you without getting close, you bitch" Elish wasn't confident about beating this monster as she didn't know what it was so she decided to be defensive until they find its weakness.
Elisha and Carol had a great synchronisation in their attacks which caused Eldora to get more frustrated as they always play safe while attacking her instead of attacking directly.
Suddenly, the monster sprinted in the direction of Elisha while aiming its goat-like horns in her direction. She tried to dodge it but, she realised that it was not aimed at her but instead at the girls near the gate.
"You bitch! Don't you care about your own troops?" She yelled at Eldora who was looking at them angrily.
She didn't answer as she kept attacking both Carol and Elisha. Carol had no choice but to use her earth magic and create a large wall to slow down the monster but, it was too big for her to stop it.
"Carol, Create a big wall that can lift me when it gets close to me, can you do it?" Elisha asked Carol to which she gave a nod.
The monster kept running toward the gate with Eldora on its back, for some reason this monster had no sense of direction, it was like a puppet doing all the orders of Eldora.
When the monster got close to Elisha, she quickly jumped onto the big tall wall, which was made by Carol. Her aim wasn't the monster itself instead it was Eldora.
She couldn't react to fast approaching Elisha, as she felt her face getting hit by her sword.
"Ughhh~ You bitch!" Eldora released a bestial scream leaking blood from all over her face. The moment she got injured the monster stopped like it was some kind of puppet.
Eldora had her full face disfigured by the attack, she started to act like a mad woman with blood leaking like a waterfall dying her face with red colour. She not only acted like a mad woman at this point she even looked like one,
"Human! Kill you, I will Kill you, I give authority in the name of Eldora Norsos to use curses, My fellow dark elves show them the power of our lord, Kill every single one," None of them understood what she was murmuring but suddenly all the dark elves warriors dropped their swords making Elisha and Carol surprised.
The whole atmosphere became creepy and heavy right after Eldora chanted those words,
"What are they doing?" She couldn't finish her sentence as she saw her tribe girls falling on the ground with some kind of dark smoke coming out of their bodies.
"What the hell is this?" Carol muttered to herself looking at all the girls lying on the floor.
