At that moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Perhaps it was because of the threat of death, but Jasmine felt that her mind had never been so clear before. Everything had stopped in front of her. The Goblins maintained their movements and froze like statues. Even the dust and mud that they kicked up froze in the air. There was silence all around. There was no sound at all.
What followed was a dazzling flash of a sword that cut through the darkness.
Then, time began to flow again.
"Puff —!!"
Blood splattered everywhere.
The goblins still looked the same as before. The disgusting smiles on their faces did not change at all, but their bodies had been completely cut open and turned into a pile of minced meat. Blood splattered everywhere and fell to the ground.
'Am I saved …?'
Just as this thought flashed through Jasmine's mind, she saw a black figure appear in front of her.
"What the hell!"
Although Fangzheng was mentally prepared with Nimf's reminder, when he saw the scene in front of him, Fangzheng was still shocked.
"What kind of f * cking R-rated game am I in?"
He had to admit that the scene in front of him was also a great shock to Fangzheng.
He had transmigrated to several worlds, but he did not know if it was because those worlds were "all ages", so Fangzheng had never really seen such an "R-rated" scene. If you were talking about bloody monsters, zombies, or Lords of Cinder who loved to die, he would just slash them with his sword.
But for scenes like the one in front of him, he had only seen cinematics when he played games before his rebirth. But that was just a game, after all. When that kind of scene was turned into reality, it gave people a completely different feeling.
"… This is really …"
Looking at the naked elves hanging in the air like pork, Fangzheng's face was gloomy. He had always felt that he had been through hundreds of battles and had seen a lot. After all, Fangzheng had experienced the destruction of the Dark Soul and the Dark World that was filled with death and demons. He had even dealt with aliens. In Fangzheng's opinion, he had even experienced the destruction of the world, so what else was there to be concerned about?
But now, he had no choice but to change his mind.
Indeed, from a purely "qualitative" point of view, the scene in front of them could only be considered a "small evil". Compared to things like "extinguishing the embers and plunging the world into eternal darkness", "killing living people as sacrifices to summon the army of demons", or "alien armies invading Earth", it could only be considered as a scumbag in the sewers and was not worth mentioning at all.
"Compared to you guys, Big Pineapple can be considered a noble boss …."
Fangzheng's expression turned gloomy when he saw the scars left by the Goblins on the Elves' delicate bodies. These Goblins were indeed weak. They couldn't be like the powerful Demon Kings in the legends, who could crush their enemies into minced meat. However, it was precisely because they were so weak that the cruelty they displayed was even more shocking.
He had to admit that the outside world's description of the Elves was very accurate. At least from Fangzheng's point of view, the Elves' fair and delicate skin and slender but mature limbs were quite alluring. No wonder the outside world always talked about finding an "Elf girlfriend" … Of course, the premise was that you didn't mind the girl being older than you and living longer than you.
But now, these beautiful bodies were filled with the traces of the Goblins' evil intentions.
The Goblins didn't cause any fatal injuries to the Elves, but they cruelly destroyed their bodies. Some Elves' breasts were cut in half, while others had wounds all over their bodies as if they had been torn by sharp claws. As for the lower half of their bodies …. It was simply unbearable to look at.
"Forget it, let's not care about that for now. There seems to be one alive here."
Fangzheng retracted his gaze in time. He squatted down and looked at the dagger that had pierced into the Elf girl's abdomen. Fangzheng frowned.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
"Ugh …. You are …."
"It's good that I'm alive."
Seeing the Elf girl's reaction, Fangzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out his hand and held the dagger.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to pull this dagger out of your body. It might be very painful, but you have to bear with it."
"I-I know!"
Perhaps it was because she was saved, Jasmine, who was feeling weak all over, felt as if she was full of energy again. She nodded vigorously.
"Before that, I want to ask you a question. When were you attacked?"
"…. Probably in the morning …."
Jasmine was a little surprised by Fangzheng's question. She originally thought that he would immediately pull out the dagger to heal her. She didn't expect him to ask her a question that was completely unimaginable. But even so, Jasmine still answered honestly.
"What's the specific time?"
"When the Star of Prayer rises …."
"That's seven o 'clock?"
Hearing Jasmine's answer, Fangzheng muttered to himself. He took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.
"One more question. Are all your companions here?"
"Yes, they're all here …."
"Very good, you have to bear with it!"
"Tch!"
Before she finished speaking, Fangzheng reached out and pulled out the dagger that was stabbed into the Elf girl's lower abdomen. Then …
"Wahhh!!"
Although she was mentally prepared, Jasmine still couldn't help but scream the moment the dagger was pulled out. Fangzheng only glanced at her and immediately said.
"Wendy! Activate Time Rewind. Target: all Elves within range. Time: seven hours ago! "
"Ya-!"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Charmander, who was lying on Fangzheng's shoulder, suddenly screamed. It spread its wings, and along with its movement, a huge, golden, clock-like magic circle suddenly appeared in the prison, covering everything in it.
"Clack, clack, clack —"
Soon, the hands on the surface of the clock began to rotate counterclockwise. Along with this process, the injuries on Jasmine and the other Elves' bodies healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. No, it wasn't healing, it was just rewinding their bodies to a point before they were injured.
And this was the power of time.
It was also the power of Wendy's [Time Rewind].
Although there were a total of three [Time] skills, and each could only be used once a day, which meant that it could only be used three times in total, if used properly, it would be quite useful.
Just like now.
"Swoosh!"
Fangzheng swung his sword, and the ropes that bound the Elves' bodies suddenly broke into pieces, and the Elves fell to the ground. But even so, their eyes were still lifeless, and they fell to the ground like puppets without self-awareness. Even though their bodies were seen by a human male that they had never seen before, they didn't have the slightest reaction.
"Sigh …"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fangzheng shook his head. Although he often saw such cinematics when he played R-rated games before his rebirth, he was quite excited at that time. But that was a game, after all, and this was reality. These were not cardboard figures that would be fine no matter what they did in the cinematics. They were living beings.
Sighing helplessly, Fangzheng took out a cloak from the realm and threw it over the Elves. At this time, Jasmine had already opened the prison and walked out with the remaining two Fairies.
"Thank you very much for your help, Mister Human."
Jasmine walked to Fangzheng, put her hands on her chest, and gave Fangzheng the most solemn etiquette that the Elves would give to their savior. This was not only because Fangzheng saved her life, but also because he protected her from the blasphemy of those evil monsters. She couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if those monsters had succeeded.
"You're welcome. I also have something to ask you … .You're the Elves who live here, right? How did you end up like this by a group of Goblins?"
This was also a question that Fangzheng couldn't figure out. With Nimf's guidance, he had already wiped out all the Goblins in the entire cave. These Goblins that were purely used to feed adventurers were naturally not worth mentioning in Fangzheng's hands. Therefore, Fangzheng couldn't figure out how the Elves ended up like this by the Goblins.
Looking at their numbers, there were at least a dozen of them. Even if they were ambushed by the Goblins' traps, at least some of them should have been able to escape and report the situation. But why did it seem like ….. they were completely annihilated?
"No, it's not just those Goblins!"
Hearing till here, Jasmine seemed to recall something as her complexion turned incomparably pale.
"There's another one, an extremely powerful and frightening existence! I don't know what he is, but he's extremely powerful! "
According to Jasmine, her patrol team had departed early in the morning. Originally, they planned to follow the predetermined route and patrol the entire Elven Forest. However, at the outskirts of the forest, they discovered an army of nearly a hundred Goblins, seemingly preparing to enter the Forest of Life.
Of course, the Elves wouldn't tolerate these evil creatures desecrating the forest. Thus, they launched an assault on those Goblins. But what surprised the Elves was that these little monsters, who were usually incomparably timid and would immediately crumble under attack, displayed courage that far exceeded their race and launched a frenzied assault on the Elves. The Elves also realized that something was amiss from the fierce attack of the Goblins. Just as they were about to retreat to their village to inform the others, a mysterious shadow suddenly appeared.
Jasmine couldn't even accurately describe what exactly that shadow was. She only said that she saw a shadow from the corner of her eye. But before she could clearly see what exactly it was, an intense fear suddenly erupted from the depths of Jasmine's heart. Then, she fainted.
When the Elves woke up again, they were already captured by the Goblins and brought here.
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing Jasmine's description, Fangzheng knitted his brows. He indeed didn't think that the Goblins could pose any threat to the Elves, but a shadow …..
"By the way, Miss Elf, I have one more thing to ask you."
Recollecting his thoughts, Fangzheng looked at the Elf before him once again.
"In fact, we're here for the graduation assessment from the Order Alliance. We received a request that there have been strong flashes of light appearing every night on the Snow Summit. Do you know about this?"
This was also another reason why Fangzheng wanted to save the Elves. After all, as the natives of the Snow Summit, the Elves and Dwarves would most likely know about it.
"Flashes?"
Jasmine was taken aback by Fangzheng's question. Then, she shook her head.
"We haven't seen any flashes."
"… …"
