nChapter 72

nEllia, who heard that managed to calm down as their intent wasn't to kill her but only rob .

nThe eight youths were clad in different armours and had different weapons which made them look like a group of ragtag .

nEllia narrowed her eyes and shouted in a brave voice as she steadied herself,

"If you want it, then come and take it from me!

"

n

"Haha, I admire your courage but it wouldn't be wise to let go of our offer .

"

n

"Leave it, everyone, who participates here have their own backbone . You can't just expect them to hand it over .

"

n

"Then, I'll take care of her . . .

"

nA youth with a spear on his back approached Ellia .

n'I can do this!' Ellia thought as she readied herself .

n

"Bullying a little kid isn't my hobby, but we are fighting with our lives on the line here . You can only blame yourself for stepping on this land!

" That youth who had a spear charged at her with open fists . It seemed like he had cultivation but no fist skills as he was clearly clumsy with his fists .

n'A spear user? He went easy on me?' Ellia thought as she jumped out of the branch . She aimed her fists at him and collided with each other .

n*Bam*

n

"Argh!

" That youth was sent flying as he felt his bones crack in his arms .

n

"H . . Hand over your token . . . now that you have been defeated . !

" Ellia threatened in a not so threatening tone .

n

"Heh, little miss, did you forget that there were 7 of us left?

" A voice echoed at the back of her head which startled her greatly .

nShe ducked her head down as suddenly a black sword cut the top of her hair a little while she hurriedly moved away from her position .

nEllia who was almost killed was greatly angered as she looked at the scrawny youth who sneak attacked her .

n

"Hawk, what are you doing?

" A youth with a sword shouted .

n

"She's just a little girl, why are you aiming to kill her for?

" Even the guy who had his fists broken shouted at him .

n

"Hmph! You guys should just give up and go back to the ship . If you don't have enough resolve, just go back to your hometown!

" That scrawny youth who was called Hawk sneered in derision .

nA short handling of the little girl led to a confusion in the newly formed random team . They exchanged back arguments as they decided what to do with her .

nAfter all, every team here was either formed way before or after this preliminary started .

n

"He's right! If you don't have enough resolve then you guys should just hand over your tokens and leave!

"

n

"That's right! . . .

"

nThe situation went out of hand as an internal fight broke out among them while they argued whether to kill her or not .

nOut of the eight individuals who pursued them, it was only that youth who had a sword and the youth who had a spear outright denied to kill her .

nEllia who watched that felt an emotion wash over her as she laughed at herself in derision as she thought .

n'How lamentable! They're fighting over whether to kill me or not as if I am a savage beast . So this is what Davis, my prince, meant by that he is weak, even when he is so strong . '

n'Heh, this is why he told me to make myself stronger, so that there will be none who could control my fate by then!'

n*Stab*

n

" . . . . You!

" The scrawny youth who argued with the youth with the sword suddenly had his heart pierced as electricity ran through him like a snake that was bent on devouring the innards of its prey .

nEllia looked up at him in indifference as she thought of him as an ant .

nThat scrawny youth's eyes went red as he collapsed while his heart corroded as it let out a charred smell .

n

n

n

"Kill her!!

" The two youths who supported her froze, while the other five youths who were clad in different armours surrounded as they charged at her in all directions .

nEllia looked at her surrounding calmly as if she weren't the one who was targeted anymore . She looked like a bystander who was calmly watching an ongoing battle . Her eyes looked indifferent to her surroundings as she cast a technique .

n

"Lightning Storm . .

" She lightly muttered to herself as she looked at those two youths who shielded in a different light .

nSuddenly . thick lines of lightning tinged with a light black colour erupted from her body as it flew to the youths who charged at her in a zig-zag motion .

n

"Hurry dodge!

" A youth shouted in horror as he saw that lightning approach him like a snake .

nBut alas, the lightning discharged by Ellia was faster than them, resulting in the black lightning hitting them with a crackling sound .

nLightning covered them as they were burnt like a pig while a charred smell wafted in the air .

nThe two youths who supported Ellia, froze in fear as if they saw a ghost, their face pale as snow .

n

"Hand over the tokens and leave . . .

"

nThose two youths who heard that threw over their tokens hurriedly and ran away with their lives pathetically as if they were granted an amnesty for a great crime they had committed before .

n

"Davis! I won! Look!

" Ellia shouted as she turned jubilant while she collected the tokens from their tokens as if nothing of importance happened a moment ago .

nJust when she collected the last of the eight tokens, she collapsed on the grass as if she was exhausted .

nBut just when she was going to fall on the grass, a hand extended around her waist and supported her from falling .

n. . . .

nA few minutes ago .

nDavis looked at the confrontation in utter concentration as he couldn't let Ellia die in front of him so easily, no matter what .

n'Eight youths, let's see how she would handle this . . . ' Davis thought .

nHe was on the branch were Ellia had supposedly stood on before, watching the battle below with eyes wide open . He used his Dark Concealing Shroud Art to make himself invisible to the people below .

nIn fact, even all the people in this preliminary couldn't see through his cloaking . Even if he stood beside them and acted like a clown, they wouldn't be able to notice .
