Swoosh! The water blades swiftly cut through the raindrops, splitting them in half. Swiftly, the young man jumped and the young woman dashed down, dodged it.Swink! Bam! the house splitting into two pieces. However, the range of the effect only affected a corner of the rectangular area, making the house look like a cake that had cut only its top half."Ella, watch out! Move to the left," Rain shouted. Ella was in the spot where He would land."What!" Ella was in a dashed state and tried to step aside to avoid the collision, but their bodies crashed into each other.Slosh! Thud! Thud! both rolled on the way.Ella quickly pushed Rain away from her. "What a filthy bastard! I've told you many times to follow me!" Ella exclaimed angrily.Rain swiftly stood up and retorted, "Haven't you seen her attacking from a lower ground? I'm not slender like you that can—""How dare you call me a slender! Is your mind only filled with perverted thoughts?" Ella's veins bulged on her neck as she clenched her fists, wanting to punch the filthy man in front of her.Rain hastened his hands up and down, trying to calm her down. "No, no, I didn't mean that—"Swoosh! Another water blade cut through the air vertically.Rain tried to jump back and dodge it, but Ella's hand reached out and grabbed his shirt, pulling him to over her side.Pluck Thud! Thud! Rain rolled on the floor.He stood up quickly, his knees bent, and exclaimed, "What do you think I am? A ball that you can throw up and down?" His voice was filled with disdain, like a grumpy raccoon.Ella looked at Rain with determined eyes and said, "I will do this alone. Go elsewhere." Then she ran at Aria.Rain didn't care for her words as he ran after her, asked, "Why are you so stubborn like this?"Both of them fought against Aria together, but unfortunately, their actions and plans didn't quite match. It was as if they were like water and oil, unable to combine their forces effectively. However, when faced with imminent danger, they instinctively pushed or pulled each other, ensuring that they both remained safe.Swoosh, Ella jumped and struck Aria with a punch, but Aria blocked it with her crossed arms. Bam! Water flew, followed by force. Ella swiftly turned and continued her attack with kicks.Bam! Bam! Bam! The impact created a powerful burst of water and rain. But Aria remained unaffected, thanks to the protective layer of water surrounding her.Ella landed, and a golden light shone on her fist as she struck the water barrier with full force.Whoosh! Bam!, this time water scattered away!Ella could see Aria's beautiful face, but she was still in a negative state. Suddenly, the water swirled fast and transformed into spikes.Instinctively, Ella jumped back, but Rain dashed from her side and crashed her into another direction.Splash! Slosh! Both of them slid along the way, their clothes covered in mud."What the hex—" Ella exclaimed, but then she saw Rain's widened eyes, shocked by something."Are you crazy? You want to kill yourself by attacking her like that? Ella, she's a Hunter!" Rain cried out. He tightly gripped her shoulder.Ella's eyes widened, not shocked by what she heard, but filled with terror when she saw the scene where she had fought. Many water balls, camouflaged in the rain, pierced and thrust into a spiked cage.Ella let her thoughts out, "That's why... Red witch calls her... Iron Maiden." She wondered, "How can I cut through that? My sword—""Ella! do you hear me?" Rain said."Stop you mouth! If you don't throw out my sword, everything should be easier than this." Ella grabbed Rain's shoulder, wanting to push him out, but the water on her hand wasn't brown, it was crimson, fading away quickly in the rain."If you have the sword, the town will remove—" Rain said.Ella grabbed Rain's arm and forced him to rotate. Her heart rate increased as she noticed many severe wounds on his back. Blood and bandages were mixed. She looked closely at his body, observing bruises and cuts everywhere. "You."He shook off her hand and hurried to his feet. "Don't worry, these wounds are from last night, not from her." He extended his hand to help her get up.Ella grabbed his hand, pulled herself up and asked, "last night? What are you talking about?"Patter, Patter. The rain continued to fall."Didn't you notice? Why Eeon started the testament," Rain said.Patter, Patter, Patter."He found a threat, a negative." Ella said.Drip, drop, drip, drop as if time was slowing down. Each raindrop from the sky reflected the pulsating connection between their hands. Rain looked at her, his gaze filled with determination. "No, Ella, we've already cleared a threat. The people in this town fought back and defeated the black cultist."Ella raised an eyebrow, her eyes widening. Her smart brain ran quickly. "That sun is yours... And we are... A fake negative."Rain simply nodded. Ella clenched her fists, her teeth gnashing. She was not pleased with this situation. The light in her eyes was completely drowned out by the sound of the rain."So, what is your plan R...R... rock," Ella said in a low voice.Rain smiled wryly. Is my name really that hard to say? He looked around, walked a little, then grabbed something on the floor. It is a fire pit poker. He walked back and grabbed Ella's hand, pressing it into her hand. He explained, "I, little rat, will create the path, and you, generous lady with monstrous power, will be the striker.""Thieving raccoon." Ella said."I told you—" Rain wanted to answer her, but something reckless happened from afar."Arrrgh! Knight is crazy! Everyone Run out of the town." Many people ran out of the alley in a hurry. One man noticed Aria's presence and exclaimed, "She is a saint!" The people turned to look in that direction.Another man rushed to ask, "We can't trust people from the Holy, they are all insane—" but another man argued back, "Are you blind? She hasn't killed anybody! We have to call for her help." One by one, they ran across the growing white line.Swoosh! A camouflage water blade came rushing towards the people.Ripple! The water shook. Crack! the floor under Ella snapped. Her legs veins were visible, red and hot. Even saw streams fly with bare eyes, but it only lasted for a second.Smack! Whoosh! She dashed out. While Rain stood strong and reached hands out.Her speed swiftly, the water split in two. She appeared in front of the people, holding a fire poker like a blade. It shone with a golden color as she cut through the water blade.Splash! successfully destroying it. However, numerous water balls rushed towards her and the people.Pop! Crack! Splash! Splash! Crack! Pop! Ella continued to strike without stopping, some of the water cutting her white skin and golden hair.People were confused by what they were witnessing. So many things were happening and they couldn't understand who this girl in front of them was.Why was she swinging a blade like a crazy woman? Why was water able to injure her? Numerous questions arose, but they could sense something deep down. This girl in front of them was protecting them.Splash! Splash! Splash! Strong golden light shone. Bam! Water splashed wide.Ella's hands trembled as blood seeped out of her fingers. Directly received Aria's attack is really opposite, hard and powerful.Ella's mouth opened in alarm as she saw Aria slowly flying up. A large water ball hovered above Aria's head, swiftly absorbing water from its surroundings, then swirling transform into a gigantic water drill.Ramble! The lighting shone, reflecting the shape of the Aria's spell.People now saw it clearly and wanted to run, but fear held them in place. They couldn't move, only sitting there, praying for help with their knees.Ella's heart raced. "How can I block that? Do I really have to leave them to die?" She gritted her teeth, crackle, the sound of cracking bones filling the air. She stepped forward, her arm reaching farther back with the blade. Her eyes gleamed brightly.Swooooooosh! A gigantic drill rushed swiftly towards her"Arrrrrrrh" people screamed in terror. Ella wanted to strike back, but suddenly it stopped, even rain stop falling, it floated lingering on the air instead...Then calmly rotated and slowly opened up like a surf tunnel.Aria tried to control it, but the water drops and rain didn't listen to her.Ella glanced to the left and saw Rain, his face pale with a nosebleed and blood coming from his mouth. His body trembled like a baby goat, but he smiled at her and softly said, "Go."Ella gathered all the remaining mana and summoned all the power. Her hair shimmered with a golden glow as she rushed inside the water tunnel, particles of water and holy light sparkling around her.Aria clapped her hands, instantly creating a water barrier, but it was only a thin layer.Crack! that couldn't withstand the force of the Golden Pierce.Woosh! splash! The water in the surrounding area splashed in all directions into globe shape. Ella's fire pit poker cracked into pieces. However, in her hand, she held a stone shard that shorn golden aura, aiming it towards Aria's holy book.Aria had no water left to control, so she rotated her body to dodge Ella.Ella smiled and said, "Sorry, Aria. That thieving raccoon stole my crystal." In reality, the stone in her hand was just an ordinary one. She swiftly hugged and locked Aria's body, preventing her from breaking free. "RAIN!" she shouted."I told you, I traded it legally. not a thieving raccoon."Swoosh! Crystal flew fast, directly towards Aria's holy book. Aria wanted to break free, but Ella's grip was as firm as iron.Crack! the crystal shattered, and numerous words and characters rushed into Aria's book. A monotonous voice exclaimed, "Accepted, denied, denied, accepted, accepted, denied, accepted."Both ladies began to falling to the ground, and Rain rushed forward with open arms to catch them. But Ella flicked her feet and used Rain back as a landing plate instead.Plunk! Slosh! "Argh!" Rain cried out.Drop! Drop! Patter! Patter! Patter! Rain fell again.Tap! Tap! Ella walked away from Rain's back, saying, "Hmph! In your dreams, filthy raccoon."Rain quickly stood up and glanced at Ella with half-closed eyes. However, his gaze soon shifted to the blue river saint in Ella's arms. He asked, "Did it work?"Ella's expression turned sad as she replied, "I don't know. I've never done something like this before, but her condition seems calm now. Let the codex continue its work."Aria's face was still motionless, her eyes lost in a daze."I never thought they would do something so cruel to her," Ella said, splash, she kicked the floor to release her anger."They don't trust outsiders to become saint," Rain added."Um," Ella replied.Rain silence for a moment, before saying. "Can you take—""I will take care of her. Go, wherever you want to go," Ella said."Thank you," he said, turning want to leave.Grab! But someone tugged at his shirt. Rain headed back.Both Rain and Ella's eyes widened. Aria tugged his shirt. Her face still in motionless but her tear falling down. Stared at Rain, her hand grabbed his shirt firmly. don't want to let him go.Rain's mouth trembled as he tried to speak, but no words came out. Finally, he regained control of his mind and reached behind his hair to untie the ribbon. His hair falls down, wet with rain.Slowly, he used the ribbon to wrap Aria's arm, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't see colors well, but this is your favorite color, right?" He then took out a blue flower from his sachet, Marvelously, this flower doesn't wet when touched rain. delicately placed and decorated it on her arm, matching the ribbon perfectly. like as Aria's tears fall down faster. hand gripped tighter.Rain gently patted her arm and said, "See, I always come back to you... I always keep my promises. So it's okay, I'll just go and do a round thing. I'll be back soon." Her grip slowly loosened.Wink! The golden sheen on Rain's body, Wound and cut slowly heal. Ella sent her healing power to Rain.Rain nodded in gratitude, mouthing a silent, "Thank you." Soon, all his wounds closed up, with no blood seeping out."Aria, he's okay now, don't worry," Ella reassured her. Rain smiled in confirmation. Ella gently touched Aria's hand, then moved away from his shirt.As Rain slowly stepped back, Aria's hand trembled. In a barely audible voice, she said, "P...pr.mise."Light reflected in Rain's eyes as he stepped closer to her, slowly raising her hand and intertwining their pinky fingers, giving it a gentle swing. Even though it's light, the smells of flowers. Floating out to fight the falling rain, He smiled and said, "Yes, Lady Astaria, we will never ever forget our promise."The light reflected in Rain's eyes as he stepped closer to her. Slowly, he raised her hand and intertwined their pinky fingers, giving it a gentle swing. Even though it's light, the scent of flowers floated out, conflict confronting the falling rain.

"Thank you for saving us all." "Please, cure the curse." "This city is pure madness." "You have shown us a miracle." "Please, save us." "Please, my son is dead. Please bring him back." "Please."Ella bit her lip, feeling helpless. "I'm sorry. I can't save all of you. I can only protect you by taking you out of town to the west," she explained.Thud! Thud! Thud! a man in armor rushed towards the saint. He pulled other people away. When people saw him, everyone take a back and ran. A knight stood in front of Ella, his hand on his heart. His body covered bloodstains, and his blade still had droplets of fresh blood. Above his head, the words "Knight of Holy Order: 13."The knight spoke with a crazed look in his eyes. He said, "I have killed many sinners. Please bless me and allow me to return to the holy order—"A monotonous voice came from a book, saying, "Evaluation End. Severe sin, causing the slaughter of civilians. Terminate and execute."Bam! Knight flew far, Splash! hit box of Scotoma field then turn in to blood puddle on the air. Slide down create blood trail.
