Chapter 337: Conquering A Realm – 6

It was at this time that both Leo and Lily moved. Knowing that the elves worshipped creatures like treants and dryads, Leo secretly summoned Niri and sent her to distract the remaining free elves who were still firing arrows.

Using his stealth, he moved through the woods, while Lily used the wind to fly directly toward the direction from which the fire arrows were coming.

“Found you…” Leo muttered as he halted beneath a high tree branch.

An elf perched above was carefully watching the battlefield, hesitating after realising that several of her companions were actually being held by a treant.

Apparently, it was the trapped girls who were revealing the group’s location so the others could fire their arrows with such precise accuracy.

The elves had formed an encirclement from 500 meters to 1 kilometre depending on their strength. Which simply meant that the one firing the wood-element arrows was strong.

“Who—?!”

The elf didn’t even get to finish her words before vines suddenly wrapped around her body. Leo swiftly bound her hands behind her back and tied her legs together tightly to stop her from shouting.

He lightly struck the side of her head, knocking her unconscious, then hoisted her over his shoulder and carried her back to the centre.

After placing her in front of the treant so it could bind her properly, Leo immediately turned and slipped back into the forest to capture more.

Singham soon returned with another elf held gently in its jaw as if it were carrying a cub. Grivak brought one back clutched in its pincers, while Shyra and Nyxa still seemed to be engaged in a fight somewhere in the forest.

Lily flew through the distance, always ensuring that the higher-ranked elf didn’t directly engage the lower-ranked beasts. Death here would be permanent, and though Katherine was there as insurance, one couldn’t risk it when everyone was scattered across the battlefield.

Lily also tried to locate the hidden elves, but they were extremely elusive. They would fire a single shot, and before Lily could even reach the point of origin, they had already moved to another location.

Back near the treant, the previously angry and agitated Elirin was visibly shaken as she watched her comrades being brought back one after another.

Elaris was already bawling her eyes out, realising it was because of them that their friends had been forced to come out of hiding.

“Why? Why didn’t you just leave us alone?” Elirin clenched her fists in frustration, though they were still tightly bound.

One after another, elves were brought in.

Shyra and Nyxa eventually returned as well, though they were far more injured than the others due to their lower ranks. Treant calmly healed them before sending them back out to continue their tasks.

10 elves.

More than what Andrew had told them to capture.

Now only 5 remained.

But to everyone’s surprise, Niri returned with 2 elves by herself. Both were unconscious, suspended mid-air by vines as she gently lowered them beside the others.

The few conscious elves were left completely dumbstruck at the sight of Niri—especially when they realised their own deity-like being was helping their enemy.

“Why… why is this happening? Is the world against us? Why are our deities helping the intruders…?” one elf whispered weakly.

“Does Mother really want us to go through such humiliation?” Elirin muttered, spiralling deeper into despair as she sensed the inevitable doom approaching for her and her companions.

Even though 2 of their strongest members were still uncaptured, it was unlikely they would be saved by their leader—the dreambearer—especially after hearing that the intruders had a dragon with them.

And to elves, dragons were superior.

In both body and existence as a whole. Even a comparatively weaker dragon could hold its ground against an elf because of its natural-born traits.

The conscious captured elves glanced at one another. Though despair filled their eyes, a faint determination still lingered.

They nodded simultaneously as they began speaking through thought transmission.

“Lady Sylrael! Lady Naelith! Please hide! Don’t try to rescue us!”

Their pleas echoed through the mental link as they reached the minds of the two women.

Both of them clenched their teeth.

They were already doing everything they could from afar. As core members of the group, if they were captured—something very likely considering Lily’s overwhelming strength—the group’s morale would collapse completely.

“Looks like there is no choice…” Naelith said through the link.

“Yeah…” Sylrael replied, determination burning in her eyes.

“NO! Please! Don’t do it!” one of the conscious girls cried through the link.

But the two had already made their decision.

Moments later, both women finally revealed themselves.

Lily spotted the red-haired figure almost immediately—just as a fire arrow was already flying toward her face.

She twisted mid-air and ducked as the arrow slammed into the ground below with a wide arc through the air.

BOOM!

A violent explosion of flame erupted outward, engulfing a 20-meter radius in blazing heat in a huge expolsion.

The next moment, as Lily descended toward the figure, vines suddenly erupted from the surrounding trees and shot directly toward her in piercing motions. Their tips were needle-sharp, ready to turn her into a block of cheese.

“Hmph!” Lily snorted, extending her arm.

A wave of Poison Breath surged forward. The moment it touched the incoming vines, they melted like foam under acid.

Naelith, who stood directly in the path of the breath, was forced to leap away and change her position instantly.

The decision proved correct.

Everything in the breath’s path—plants, roots, even tree trunks—corroded as the purple cloud engulfed them.

Lily’s gaze shifted and locked onto the lime-green-haired woman who had summoned the vines.

She stood only 50 meters behind the red-haired woman.

Their eyes met.

Sylrael instinctively tightened her grip on her bow, pulling an arrow from her quiver and drawing it toward Lily.

“You like using vines, right?” Lily said, raising her arm slowly.

“Let me show you the correct way.”

But with all the attention focused on Lily, everyone—even Kaelion—failed to notice that Leo was silently tearing through the forest under stealth.
