Frida thanked the person who helped her. She did not waste this chance to kill Dinodas. Frida immediately ran towards Dinodas, while holding her sword tightly.
As she was running, she whispered softly, "Sword's will. Seventh way of the sword breath. Slashing the blue sky!"
A blue light surrounded the sword in Frida's hand. The sword seemed to be alive and breathing. The blue aura spread from the sword to the whole Frida's body. Frida then raised the sword and preparing to swing it.
Dinodas felt threatened, His sixth sense seemed to keep warning him. He unhesitatingly decided to spell a defensive magic technique. He did so hastily, in the hopes that the magic technique was spelled before Frida came to him.
Two seconds later, Frida stood in front of Dinodas and slammed the sword down. She intended to cut Dinodas' neck, but at the same time, Dinodas managed to spell a defensive magic technique.
A thin and red transparent barrier held back Frida's sword, so it couldn't continue downwards to cut Dinodas neck. However, the sword only took three seconds before destroying the transparent barrier.
Fortunately, Dinodas retreated before Frida broke the barrier. Frida was about to continue forward, but at that moment a green-colored energy shot towards her. Frida was forced to jump back. She glanced at Laura, the culprit who had attacked her.
"I'm disappointed in you, Laura. I already consider you to be my sister," said Frida in an even tone. Of course, she was lying when she said it, since Laura had betrayed her, she never considered Laura her friend anymore. Frida said it just to buy time. She took the scroll on the robe slowly.
Laura took Frida's words seriously, "I'm truly sorry Frida, I didn't want to kill you either."
In contrast to Frida, who was able to easily forget the relationships with other people. Laura was a pretty decent girl of the noble children at the Academy. She took her friendship with Frida seriously. However, she also loves her parents and family very much.
"Killing me? Can you do it?" Frida said mockingly, she took out a scroll from the robe and threw it in the air. Then a large amount of smoke obscured the vision of everyone within a 10-meter radius.
Although Vale had killed Thodebald, Frida knew that it did not guarantee her safety. Frida was indeed a person with high talent, but she was never arrogant or thought that she was above the others. No matter how high a person's talent was, if they died young, their talent would be useless.
Frida then ran towards Vale. Even though she could have run away leaving Vale, but that person had helped her, at the very least Frida had to give him some help too.
Holman and Vale were physically fighting, with Vale deliberately forcing Holman to continue fighting hand-to-hand and interrupting Holman every time he attempted to use magic techniques. Vale didn't know what kind of magic technique Holman could use, so he preferred a physical fight against Holman, even though Holman was physically superior to Vale.
As they were fighting, a plume of smoke suddenly exploded, blocking Vale's view. A few seconds later, Vale felt someone walking towards him. The young man prepared to face the person who was approaching him, but at that moment, he heard a female voice.
"Flee! Neither of us is enough to beat them," said Frida.
Vale didn't argue; he ran in Frida's direction.
"Fairy of the forest, lend a little of your strength. The trees have withered and nature is starting to break down. The glory of the forest will return. Reincarnation of the forest: binding!" Vale, who was running, suddenly cast a magic technique on Holman and the others.
Reincarnation of the forest: binding was an area attack type magic technique that had troublesome crowd control. This technique could make trees grow from the ground, and Vale could choose the target where the trees grew up. He had targeted Holman and the others, and now a tree would grow from under their feet, quickly binding their bodies. This magic technique consumed 2–3 times the usual level 0 magic technique.
Vale and Frida could hear Holman's screams in the distance. Vale had managed to delay the three of them, so they couldn't catch up to Vale and Frida now.
It wasn't that Frida was unable to use the same or better magic techniques than Vale, but her internal mana was completely drained while fighting against the Wyverns. Just now, Frida didn't even use magic techniques, but used scrolls.
Sealing a magic technique on a scroll could actually be done, but only for a magic technique level 0. It required an advanced magus to do so, and coupled with the expensive materials, making sealing magic techniques in a scroll never became popular. After all, no advanced magus wasted time making scrolls containing level 0 magic techniques, let alone selling things like that. Because of that, scrolls were only used by a few children from noble families like Frida.
"Thanks for helping me," said Frida. The girl was still wary about Vale. There was a possibility that Vale had hidden motives by helping her, so Frida wouldn't let her guard down. She often used her fake smile and attitude to discourage others.
"You're welcome. I'm a big fan of you. When I'm at the academy, I frequently see the talent and strength you show. I think you're charming and cool. Of course, I wouldn't let the person I admire die in front of me," said Vale with a friendly smile.
"Is that so? I didn't think I had such an interesting fan as you."
"You may rarely pay attention to your surroundings, but there are many of your fans in my class."
Admiring a girl? What kind of bullshit was that? Vale didn't think Frida was outstanding. Talent was something that people brought since they were born, not achieved. For Vale, talent was something that people should not admire. He just needed a good reason to help Frida.
"We've come a long way, and I don't think the three of them will chase us anymore. We should rest here first. Your wounds are still not fully healed," Vale suggested.
Frida nodded. Because she was moving too much, the blood and wounds on her body opened again. She wouldn't foolishly refuse Vale's suggestion.
Then, the two of them chose to rest near the river. The river was flowing from the mountain in the center of the island to the seawater around the island.
