Chapter 164: Escape
Emil stared coldly at Elena who was in pain on the ground. Although she looked quite cute, Emil knew that she was an extremely vicious person, so he would not pity her at all.
At this time, he finally found a chance to kill the opponent, but he also noticed that Cosette was still controlled by the monster, and her wrists were still bleeding. If she let it go, she would probably die of excessive blood loss.
"Please tell those guys to let Cosette go, so that I can consider sparing your life." Emil put forward a condition.
However, Elena endured the pain and smiled evilly.
"You actually have times when you beg me, it's a pity..."
"Please? No, this is a threat."
Emil knelt down and put the sharp holy sword against Elena's neck. Soon her tender skin was cut open by the sword blade, and bright red blood seeped out instantly.
But even so, Elena didn't have the slightest fear. She seemed to have put her own life and death aside for a long time, and Emil was most afraid of such an enemy.
"Haha, let me tell you something," Elena smiled slightly, "After these crystal fragments enter the body, they will explode violently once they come into contact with magic power. I have noticed it since just now. The one named Cosette
The woman is not an ordinary elf, and the dragon is obviously not an ordinary dragon, do you understand what this means?"
"Stop talking nonsense, will you let it go?"
Emil didn't want to hear those messy things. He exerted a little force, and the wound caused by the sword became even bigger.
"..."
Elena couldn't help showing a painful expression, and she looked pitiful at this moment. Somehow, Emil felt a little pity for this guy, but his reason told him that now was not the time to be indecisive.
At this time, Cosette spoke.
"Emil, what are you still hesitating about? Kill her quickly. I, the noble princess of the Elf tribe, can't bear this kind of humiliation. You actually begged such a villain for me."
"Yes, kill me," Elena also said, but her expression was unusually calm, "But the moment before death, I will use magic power to detonate the crystal fragments in my body, so that I can pull you
The three of them were buried together, no matter what, I made a profit, not only did I avenge my father, but I also got to hook up with two big shots."
"What?" Emil was shocked. He finally understood the meaning of Elena's words just now.
"Tsk, what a despicable guy." Cosette was stunned. She didn't expect this at all.
"Huh? Don't you dare to take action?" Elena mocked at the right time.
As expected, Emil froze in place. Although Elena's values have been extremely distorted, allowing her to live will only bring disaster to the world, but Emil can't risk his own life just to kill her.
Of course, his own life was one thing, and he didn't want to see Lilith and Cosette buried with him.
"Really? Then let me do it myself." After Elena said that, she took the initiative to bump into the sword blade.
Emil had been watching her every move, so he was able to quickly withdraw his sword at this time, thus preventing Elena from committing suicide.
"Why do you have to do this? Don't you ever cherish your life?" Emil couldn't help asking. After learning of Elena's intentions, he had been holding back a surge of anger in his heart.
"Haha, my own life?" Elena looked at him with disdain, "People like you will never understand, because you have never experienced despair, nor have you been redeemed when life loses its meaning."
"But it's meaningless for you to do this. Cornes just uses you as a tool."
"Tools?" Elena said softly, and then laughed maniacally, "Great, this at least proves that my existence is valuable, and you people dare to go against my father, your lives are
It’s meaningless, so just go die and the creatures on this earth will thank you.”
"...Tch, you're a guy who doesn't like food or salt."
Emil cursed angrily and finally gave up persuading Elena.
Later, in order to prevent Elena from using magic power again, he used the magic he had pressed at the bottom of the box to drain the magic power from the opponent's body.
Next, facing Elena who was defenseless, Emile did not take her to heart for the time being, and planned to deal with her after removing Cosette's restraints.
After a while, he remembered a detail.
Just now, when he was about to be attacked by a monster, Lilith appeared and blocked the monster's attack with her wings.
These monsters can make their bodies transparent to avoid enemy attacks, and then turn back into physical form when attacking the enemy.
But the entities at this time are actually intouchable, which does not conform to Emil's conjecture about the abilities of these monsters, and Lilith's experience may allow him to get the answer.
That is, the monster's body is not as simple as becoming transparent, but because their behavior is one-way. Only when they actively attack can they interact with the target. Otherwise, they will not suffer any harm.
Because of this, no matter how powerful Cosette is, there is nothing she can do against them, but Lilith is clearly just blocking the damage, but she can still interact with the monsters.
Once he understood this, it would be much easier to deal with these monsters. He quickly told Cosette his conclusion. Fortunately, those monsters only entangled Cosette and would not cause any danger to her life for a while.
"Oh, I see."
Cosette now understood that when these monsters caught her, they were probably in a non-attacking state, so she couldn't break free at all, so all she had to do next was to lure these monsters to attack.
At this moment, a white figure appeared, and Emil was immediately excited when he saw it.
"That's great, Ophelia, you are indeed fine."
"Of course, how could I be killed by an ordinary elf?" Ophelia smiled slightly.
She also heard what Emil said, so she immediately drew her sword and slashed at the monster. Of course she knew that her move was useless. In fact, she was just attracting the enemy's attention.
Because Emil and Lilith were standing relatively far away, the monsters did not target them. At this time, Ophelia took the initiative and was immediately discovered by the monsters.
One of them continues to control Cosette, while the other begins to pursue Ophelia.
In fact, in the previous battle on the ground, if Ophelia had not taken the initiative to attack, she should have discovered the monster's weakness quickly, but it is not too late to understand it now.
At the moment when those monsters took the initiative to attack, Ophelia took the opportunity to release her sword skills, and dozens of monsters were shaken away by the shock wave. Due to the huge power, those monsters fell to the ground and turned into stumps and broken arms, as black as ink.
The blood flowed all over the ground.
Seeing their companions being killed, the monsters that bound Cosette focused their hatred on Ophelia. They quickly rushed over and let out ear-piercing roars.
"Hmph, you must be taking the initiative to attack, right?"
Ophelia sneered and killed the remaining monsters three times, five times and two times five times.
Emil looked at the stumps on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to Elena.
"Then it's this guy's turn next."
"..." Elena knelt on the ground, looking at the sky with a desperate expression, "Father, I am so useless, I deserve death."
"Tsk, tsk, this guy is really... who of you is going to do it?" Ophelia looked at the two people next to her. She really didn't want to kill such a miserable person, because it would only dirty her sword.
"Well, my wrist is still bleeding. I have to find a way to bandage it quickly." Cosette scratched her head and ran to the side to treat the wound.
"Haha, so you still want me to come?" Emil pointed at himself and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Wait a minute, Emil, it's me," Lilith said seriously, "I don't want you to get your hands dirty."
"Oh, no," Emil shook his head, "This guy is so evil, I won't feel any psychological burden if I kill her."
However, just when several people were hesitating, a space crack suddenly appeared next to Elena, and a black hand emerged from it and grabbed Elena's collar, then pulled her into the crack.
"Oops, she wants to escape."
Emil quickly drew out his holy sword and slashed at Elena. Although he didn't care about getting his sword dirty, he still didn't have time and just cut off one of the opponent's hands.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came from the space crack, which was obviously Cornes.
"Hmph, Emil, you damn guy, now we are really at loggerheads. You dare to hurt my precious daughter. I swear I will hunt you to the ends of the earth."
"Okay, it turns out you are really not dead," Emil finally got confirmation, and then said, "But it's up to me to say this. Just wait, I will go and take your life right away.
"
"Haha, your words are getting more and more vicious. Okay, if you have the ability, give it a try. I'll wait for you in the capital."
Subsequently, Cornes's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared together with the space crack.
"I'm sorry, Emil, if I had done it earlier..." Ophelia quickly scratched her head and apologized.
"No, no, no," Emil waved his hand, "It's not anyone's fault. It's because we didn't expect Cornes to show up and let the cooked duck fly."
"Indeed," Cosette finished bandaging the wound and came over, "to be honest, it is a torture for the girl to continue to live, because she already thinks that she is useless to Cornes."
"Oh, I can only think like this now," Emil nodded slightly, then looked at Cosette's wrist, "By the way, Your Highness Cosette, how is your injury?"
"What do you care about me," Cosette said angrily, "I think that I, the majestic elf princess, have maintained such a huge illusion for more than five hundred years without saying a word. Is such a small injury worthy of outsiders' worries?
? You look down on me too much."
However, as soon as she finished saying this, her head became dizzy and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Emil rushed over to help her.
"Don't...don't touch me!"
Cosette shook off his hand, but with such an ordinary action, her wound opened again.
Even though there was a cloth wrapped around her, the blood still flowed out like spring water. In the end, she fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss, but she refused to accept Emil's kindness before closing her eyes.
"Don't help me... I should take a nap... and I should be able to recover..."
