Kim Hajun had a grim expression on his face as he overlooked the battle between Ouyang Feng and the slender, severed hand. The Martial Lords fierce shouts had turned into silence. Sweat flowed freely from the shirtless mans body, trickling down his forehead, dripping from his chin, and rolling down his abs before being soaking into his pants. His face was grim despite how vigorous he looked, and ashes, the traces of used-up spell scrolls and buffing talismans, were scattered about in a ring ters away, where the shockwaves generated from the collision between Ouyang Feng and the severed hand sent them.
Kim Hajun wasnt the only one that looked worried. The subordinates of the lords had tense expressions on their faces as they watched Ouyang Feng move like a robot, his punches almost chanical as he sent out his left fist to be destroyed, then his right. Even though the Martial Lord looked physically healthy, it couldnt be good for his mind to have his arms destroyed repeatedly.
Lindyss turned her head to the side, causing Kim Hajun to shift his gaze away from the fight. A portal opened beside the cursed elf, and Tafel poked her head through, taking a look around. Is now a good ti? she asked, her voice low but not quite a whisper. Are you busy?
Not particularly, Lindyss said. Im just waiting for Ouyang Fengs will to break. Then, Kim Hajun will either devise another thod to deal with the Oebu Sin, or hell ask for help.
Okay, Tafel said and nodded. How about Vur switches places with you?
Lindyss raised an eyebrow. You want Vur to be on babysitting duty, and to be a one-woman-army facing a horde of insects without the help of an overpowered web-related ability?
Tafel blinked. No, she said. We already caught the princess bug; its nad Gronion now.
Gronion? Lindyss asked, her forehead scrunching up. Why does that na sound so.
Bad? Erin asked from her spot on Lindyss shoulder.
Is it bad? Tafel asked, her face turning a faint shade of red. You have to consider the other two bugs Vurs raising though: Garlic and Ginger. The demon nodded. If one bug is nad Garlic, another nad Ginger, it only makes sense to na the third bug Green OnionGronion for short.
Erin held her arm out in front of herself. Then, she flipped it upside-down, her thumb pointing at the ground. A farting sound escaped from the fairys lips as she puffed so air through them. Its a bad na, Erin said. If you thought of it, you should feel bad.
Tafel pursed her lips. Fairies were jerks sotis. They would curse children for no good reason, so why wouldnt they make fun of a na soone though up? Moving on, the demon said, her gaze landing on Lindyss, Gronion has a lot of minions, and were having so troubles.
Lindyss expression darkened. Werent you having a barbeque? the cursed elf asked. If you eat all the minions, you wont have any trouble with them.
No, see, thats the problem, Tafel said and scratched her head. Gronions one of Vurs followers now, so it wouldnt feel right eating the bugs. She added in a smaller, hurried voice. That are still alive. The demon nodded. Its also a bit awkward to eat the dead companions of the bugs right in front of them too, so.
Lindyss raised an eyebrow. And with the combined brilliance of your mind and Vurs, the best idea you ca up with was to ask to deal with the problem?
I knew shed understand, Vur said, his voice coming from inside the portal.
Tafel glanced behind herself at Vur before putting on her best smiling face for the cursed elf. Wouldnt you rather be managing things than sitting here on constant guard?
Lindyss chuckled and shifted her gaze back onto the fight without bothering to give Tafel a response.
Please, Auntie? Tafel asked, clasping her hands together, staring at the cursed elf with bright, round eyes. Therell be a barbeque.
Theres going to be a barbeque regardless, Lindyss said.
Tafel let out a sigh before retreating back into the portal. Although the cursed elf wasnt watching the demon, Lindyss could still hear Tafels voice when she spoke. Vur, she doesnt want to. The cursed elfs expression darkened as a massive, ocean-blue dragons head poked through the portal and breathed a hot jet of nostril-ward air that washed over her whole body.
Hi, Auntie, Vur said.
Lindyss suppressed her sigh. Hello, Vur, the cursed elf said. She gestured towards the Martial Lord off in the distance. As you can see, Im very busy chaperoning this fight.
Vur nodded before nudging a giant beetle, half the size of a phoenix, through the portal and towards the cursed elf. This is Gronion, Vur said.
Lindyss right eye twitched as she turned her head away from the fight and towards the massive bug. She glared at it. What do you want, Gronion?
The beetle shuddered before taking a step back and curving its body to the side towards Vur as if it were a puppy seeking shelter behind its owner. Vur patted the beetle with his paw while looking ahead at Lindyss. The fights over, but theres a lot to do, Vur said. Will you help us? Please?
Lindyss couldnt suppress her sigh any longer. Fine, she said. After all, Vur had said please. Was she supposed to tell him no? If she did, it wouldnt be long before Sera showed up and showed the cursed elf why she shouldve told him yes. If Kim Hajun asks you for help, make sure he pays you first. Dont let him use your strength for free.
Kim Hajun blinked as the massive dragons golden irises shifted to stare at him. A bitter expression appeared on the well-dressed mans face as the cursed elf ordered her skeletons to carry her rocking chair through Tafels portal. Did Lindyss have a grudge against him for so reason? Why did it seem like she was always targeting him?
