"Please, if you may. It would be a shame for us neutralians ruining our reputation." a lady elf said. She was tall, elegant, has a beautiful fragrance following her. But what outstanded was her clothing. The lady used plants as clothes. Roots, leaves, flowers combined to look as if acting as a replacement for clothes.
Alexander could not take off his eyes unlike Lynx or Myne. Meanwhile, Emilia's eyes sparkled at the sight of the lady.
"Before going! How beautiful you are!" he ran towards the elf lady.
"Stop!" she summoned a wall made out of thick roots, bumping the head of Emilia.
"Ow..." she mumbled as she caresses her face.
"Can we ask your names? Dark elf and a neutral?" Myne asked.
"I'm Min, my sister here, a dark elf, is Klae."
"Sister?" Lynx tilted his face in confusion.
"We might come with different cultures but we still can breed and produce offsprings with the other clans. We have been given birth by our mother who was neutral and a half light elf our father on the other hand was a fully dark elf. The former King perhaps. Our eldest sister, Sage, isn't here with us. She preferred to stay with her kind than ours." she explained.
"So you are triplets?"
"Quadruplets. Our youngest is yet to be known. The moment he was born, none of the elfs whether light or dark could not figure out what clan he belonged..." she stopped making sure her voice sounded like she did not like the topic.
"I'm sorry." Myne apologized for Lynx's insensitive side.
"Can we start moving?" Lynx asked looking at both Alexander and Emilia who were having their own business. Alex could not stop to stare meanwhile Emilia still caressing her face.
"Yes. Please, come this way." her eyes filled with sadness.
'A trap is being held for us that is. No matter, if one can even hurt Alexander here then I might be more worried.' Lynx grinned inwardly.
The portal was there just behind Min. It was a circular current, made out of water that isn't wet, is that understandable? is that possible? But Min made way for them. Myne had second thoughts about this and had his gut feeling of something bad would happen but looking for a worried face from Lynx which was obviously useless, Lynx's face was empty, he did not care about what would happen or what could. He continued behind placing both of his hands inside his pockets.
They went inside the portal, one by one. It felt as if they could feel the current pulling them inside but it had not for the three. It was like a weak wind pushing them with the slowest force they could do. That was the trap... The portal they went inside to was a diversion to the original portal.
"Dissipate." Emilia's angry eyes was shown. "Disrespectful!"
Before the elfs could react, Alexander already disappeared behind them with daggers pinned on their necks. But with speed, the dark elf was able to pin her dagger to Alexander's stomach.
"To think you made a fool out of us and dared to dirt our King! Death must be punishment! Death immediately!" Emilia glared at the two.
"Enough." Lynx filled the room's atmosphere with the animosity. His voice was deep and scary, even Alexander and Emilia gulped.
Min and Klae fell on the grounds, crying. Their arrogant side and prideful attitude was crushed in just a word.
"Get up." Lynx eyes glowed vibrantly blue, looking down to both of them. "I will give you a minute to run before..." Lynx mercilessly said but stopped to summon Threat. He came out towering each of them. He was as big as fifteen feet with his terrifying presence that scared everyone inside the room. "He kills you both." he smiled wickedly.
"Enough." another elf appeared.
"Another annoying elf." Lynx blurted glaring at the new person.
But to his surprise, the elf brought quite the presence. A warlord rank power. It was definitely stronger than Threat but somewhat confusing to compare with Lynx.
"Lynx Alpha Nigellus. I was expecting someone as talented but did not know you were the one to have come. It's an honor to meet you." she smiled.
Lynx walked towards the elf. He dropped his presence off and gave out his hand. The elf took it and they shook their hands.
"Someone connected to the originals. Finally."
"So you knew our bloodline." she asked.
"Of course I do. How could I forget the Felieace Clan, Wien Ser'ries Clan founders." he said with a smirking face.
"Nice to meet you Lynx Nigellus. It seems that we cannot utter your old name. If I may, I'm heir of our clan. Flora Felieace of Clan Felieace Swordmasters. We hate to use our swordsmanship outside the world so if I may ask, can we be at peace?"
Silence. Lynx did not reply. "I take that as; "If you don't attack then we won't retaliate." Is that it, sir Lynx?" she giggled.
She got a reply of a forced smile by Lynx. "Shall we proceed inside the west forest?"
She smiled and started walking from where she came from, the wall. They all proceeded inside to see a massive current just like the one they saw back but bigger and stronger.
"If I may warn. To those who have yet travelled using portals, it might get very disturbing."
'How hard could it be?' Emilia thought to herself filled with confidence.
"Then shall we?" Flora lead the way inside the portal. "Avoid each and every sword that would come right at you when you get to the other side." she smiled but this time happily. Then she disappeared.
"We aren't falling for that are we?" Myne asked.
"We did not, she warned us now its up to us whether we survive or not." Alexander chuckled getting excited at the thought.
"Do not kill anyone of them. To us they are valuable but I will allow you to unseal your true power capacity." Lynx said.
"You seem more into this Master." Emilia laughed. "Earlier you looked more disappointed." she looked at the two elfs behind them.
Without thinking twice, Alexander went in the portal and was even excited. The portal brought nausea to Alexander but he successfully went through and was left unguarded, surrounded with swords that were about to hit him. He smirked even though he was in his current state. He unsealed himself and everything went solo.
'Stealth Invisible.' That was the spell that made the place around him slower except for the one, an arrow went immediately at him but he manages to dodge.
"Crazy! Even your arrows cannot be stop by my skill?!" he exclaims but his excitement led to him disabling his ability.
"Tornado Times 10!" they shouted.
"Caribbean Sea." Lynx popped up behind Alexander. "I'll take the guy behind this twenty elfs. Do not ever disturb me nor let me help you with such a lowly skill." Lynx said.
Emilia popped up but almost puked. She didn't expect to spin around that much in just a portal to travel in a different place. But the portal hits Myne differently, he threw up like there was no tomorrow.
"You good Emilia?" Alex asked.
She nodded. "The twenty is ours the other one guy behind them is Lynx." he said.
Lynx dashed behind the weak elfs he thought and immediately faced the guy. He was the known to be General Clan Leader. "Interesting." Lynx whispers, scanning the elf.
The elf jumped and backed off enough to give himself the time to prepare his sword.
"Are you Lynx?" he cautiously scanned Nigellus.
"Yes." he smiled so sweetly. "Do you mind if we have a little fun?" he asked but with a wicked smile.
"Nice to meet you Lynx Wolf Nigellus. I'm Damon Dark. Let's have." he said but flashed directly in front of Lynx.
'Graceful Swordsmanship; Chun Chieu.' Damon.
Lynx smirked. "Shake." he casted the spell pushing Damon away but with such less effort. Damon immediately felt mocked but Lynx still gave out his smile.
'As expected. I have to finish him in one go. Dance of the Grace; Aice Ios, Chun Chieu, Bieu Luie, Hei Cei, Mietei Luo, Eathereal Green, Chaerie Rile, Chaer Ly.' Damon.
"Brilliant!" Lynx laughed hard with such pleased tone. "Come at me."
"With pleasure."
"Graceful Slash." Lynx had said out loud his swordsmanship he used.
"Measly! You dare counter my attack with such basic technique!"
If Lynx was to count the slash that came at him, it would have been over a thousand and five hundred slashes but he only used one slash to counter those.
A big flash it was, the countless slashes were even sparkling with light visible to everyone around. The unlimited slashes came towards Lynx but his slash was merely an effort. Lynx even yawned which annoyed Damon so much but it was over. A bigger slash from Lynx sword stopped each of Damon's but did not quite stop there. It did not stop and had even cutted both hands of Damon.
"GRUAGHHHH!!" he growled so loud everyone stopped to watch him.
"Con Lynx!" Myne ran towards Lynx to stop him but was confuse. He had his poker face and bored aura. "Was that on purpose?" he asked in disbelief.
"I only gave him one slash. I was even in at a disadvantage." he lied. Although he had swung his sword one time, effortlessly. The power and magic it held was immense. It overpowered the technique Damon practiced his whole being with.
Lynx looked behind to see the twenty elfs down on the ground and Alexander laughing.
"It isn't nice to laugh at the weak." Lynx irritatingly said walking towards Alexander.
"No need to frown Master. I was laughing at him." he pointed the elf who was pretending to have fallen. Of course Lynx didn't notice him because of how little they had effect on him.
"To think they took down their pride and even pretended to have died." Lynx with such a disgusted face belittled the guy.
But then. Everything around them, plants and fruits, bearing all the flowers. It was as if the guardian of nature had arrived. And it was true, there she was, Albenies, walking towards the group.
"It such an honor to finally meet you, your majesty." she stated.
But instead of being pleasured at the voice, Lynx's face twitched a little. The power the elf had was beyond Klaerif. It was a scary power. Damon and the rest of those who fought the three were healed but except Damon who just healed his wound and hadn't recovered his whole hand.
"How have you found it here?" she asked.
"It's fine. I see countless of Elfs, hiding but has such an immense capability. But they weren't as talented nor powerful as Damon was. The only problem was, Damon here acted rationally at someone even unknown to him." He bitterly smiled. "That is why, for a swordsman, I punished him." he said not even looking at the man. Damon cried, it felt differently and he didn't like it.
"I'm going to kill you." He cursed Lynx.
"Sure, practice and someday, your swordsmanship will surpass mine." he effortly and sarcastically said. He went towards Albenies and gave out his hand.
She took it and shook. "It's such a pleasure."
"Pleasure's mine, Queen." Lynx with his courtesy, knelt and gave his Queen a kiss on the hand.
The Queen giggles. "You flatter me, your majesty! Please, please, stand." she said with such a gentle and caring voice. "But your majesty. I believe Damon had already piqued your interest. I feel I already know the future." she chuckles.
"That is something to be discussed in the future, my Queen." he whispers.
"Well then! What are we waiting for! Everyone, our majesty had arrived! Prepare the palace! Mages prepare your spells. We will immediately start the blessing!" Albenies said.
"As for you, my majesty. We have billions to discuss! Let's talk somewhere we both can have our words privately." she smiled.
