"Whoosh –!"
The wind whistled in her ears.
Thump — Thump — Thump — Thump —
Her heart thumped wildly in her chest.
Feeling the scenery around her receding at an astonishing speed, and Shien leaping forward with her in his arms, Merica couldn't help but feel her heartbeat speed up. Her face was as red as a tempting peach, making one want to take a big bite out of it.
However, Merica wasn't the least bit self-conscious about this.
This was because her mind had completely fallen into a state of chaos.
She could only hold onto Shien's neck in confusion and stare at Shien's face, which was inches away from her. She couldn't react to what was happening and felt dizzy.
Under such circumstances, Merica couldn't hear a single sound.
"Merica! Hurry and push him away …! "
Genom chased after Sean on the ground. He looked at Sean, who was leaping from tree to tree, and then at Merica, who was staying obediently in his arms without any intention of resisting. She was just blushing. He felt like he was about to explode with rage.
What made him even angrier was that as Shien leaped forward, he turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "Save it, Violent Elven Woman.
"Save it, violent woman of the elves. Your family's Merica is already mine."
These words impacted the two elven girls at the same time.
"I … I'm Mr. Shien's …!?"
Merica felt that happiness had come too suddenly and too fast, making her even more dizzy.
Genom couldn't help but flip out.
"Who's the Violent Woman?! Who's yours?! " Ignoring the frightened expressions of his clansmen, Genom yelled angrily, "Hurry up and return Merica to me!"
With that, this elven girl finally couldn't restrain herself anymore. She raised the short wand in her hand and began to chant angrily.
"— This is the Heavenly Wheel's Breath —"
"— Crimson Flame Essence, Transparent Truth, with prayer as fuel, rise here —"
This was also the most powerful mid-level fire-type spell that Merica had ever used. It was a destructive spell with the greatest area of effect.
"Heavenly Wheel's Fire Rain (Heaven's Fire)!"
Genom released this spell without hesitation, causing a huge wave of magic power to roll in the air and turn into a rain of fire that shrouded the area below.
"What?!"
"Genom?!"
"What are you doing?!"
Looking at the fiery rain falling from the sky, the elves who sensed the extraordinary mana in the surroundings were stunned and at a loss of what to do.
"F * ck, this girl is really throwing caution to the wind?"
"F * ck, this girl is really going all out?"
There was no other reason other than the fact that this area of effect magic had descended from the sky. Not only Sean, but even the surrounding buildings and streets were shrouded in it, and became the target of the Meteor Shower.
Boom!
A rain of fire fell and hit a tree.
A rain of fire fell and hit a treehouse, causing the treehouse to slowly burn up. In an instant, it was covered in raging flames.
"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!"
Not long after, the rest of the treehouses, streets, trees of light, as well as some roadside stalls and miscellaneous items were also attacked by the rain of fire. Under the torrential rain of fire, they were all set ablaze.
Of course, Shien was also attacked by the rain of fire.
With the protection of Rito's Mandate, he could ignore these spells, but he still had Merica in his arms. Naturally, he could not let her be affected by Genom's spell.
Immediately, Shien chanted.
"Give Up, Dispel."
Shien used the "Give Up" spell with the "Dispel" property, causing a circle of magic power to spread out from his body.
"Psst!"
The rain of fire touched the ripples and reached Shien's body, but it was as if it was extinguished by water. It instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
Using this method, Shien broke through the cover of the rain of fire and continued forward.
"Stop!"
Genom had been regretting being too impulsive and causing trouble, but seeing that Shien had broken through unscathed, he could not care less and continued to chase after him.
"What are you doing? Genom! "
"Ah! My treehouse is on fire! "
"Quick, use magic to put out the fire!"
"What's going on with Genom?"
Around them, the innocent elves wailed as they watched the entire street slowly burn.
Fortunately, the elves were all mages. Even at the very least, they could use one or two spells, so it was easy for them to extinguish the fire here. Moreover, the trees of light were not ordinary plants, but fantasy creatures created by magic. It was not difficult for them to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
Thus, although the fire looked frightening, it did not cause much damage. It was extinguished in a short while.
However, Genom's abnormality still made some of the elves feel a lingering fear. They hurriedly ran to inform the elven army and reported what had happened here.
The chase was slowly escalating.
Shien and Genom were completely unaware of this, and continued to fight with their wits and courage.
"[Blizzard]!"
This time, Genom did not dare to use fire magic anymore. He switched to ice magic, whipping up a blizzard and sending it whistling towards Shien.
In the meantime, the air was frozen by the cold wind, turning into cold fog and even ice crystals. The street was also gradually frozen by the cold wind.
Such a powerful blizzard blasted towards Shien, but it still could not stop Shien's footsteps.
"Oblivion, Dispel."
Sean continued to counter the attack with the dispelling magic, allowing the ripples of magic to continue to undulate around his body, dispelling the oncoming blizzard.
"[Blizzard]!"
"[Blizzard]!"
"[Blizzard]!"
Genom was already on the verge of losing his mind. Seeing how easily Shien had dispelled his magic, he became even more determined. He shouted repeatedly and cast a continuous stream of ice magic.
In an instant, the cold wind howled and the snow blew. It was as if the goddess of winter was angry, causing an endless blizzard to envelop the surroundings.
"Crack, crack, crack …!"
Under the extreme snowstorm, the sound of something freezing could be heard continuously. Everything in the surroundings was frozen and turned into ice sculptures.
Shien did not expect that Merica would become so crazy just because he had kidnapped her.
Since that was the case …
"Oblivion, Reflect."
Sean used another kind of magic, causing the magic ripples that were reverberating around him to suddenly change into a mirror-like surface, smooth and crystal clear.
"Boom!"
The sweeping blizzard touched Shien, but before it could do anything, it was repelled by the mirror-like magic waves. Like a tornado of ice and snow, it made a sharp turn and blew in Genom's direction.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, Genom could not help but let out a cry of surprise. He stopped in his tracks and hurriedly raised his short staff.
"[Filariasis Shield]!"
The high temperature replaced the low temperature, causing the ground in front of Genom to tremble. As if magma was erupting, the ground suddenly split open and burst into flames.
The flames turned into a barrier in front of Jenom, blocking the oncoming blizzard.
"Boom!"
In the next second, the flames and the ice and snow collided. It was like a needle against a wheat awn, causing a loud explosion and spreading shockwaves.
When the flames and ice and snow dissipated, Genom finally rushed out of the storm. He looked around frantically, and his expression turned ugly.
This was because Shien had disappeared.
"Where is he?!"
Genom gritted his teeth in anger, and even panicked a little.
It could not be helped. If Shien had disappeared, it meant that Merica had left with him.
What would that foreign male do if he took away the hot and cute Merica and ran off to a place where no one could find him?
Just thinking about it made Genom so anxious that he wanted to bang his head against a wall.
"Come out!"
Genom could not help but shout.
Then …
"Alright, I'm out. Don't you think you should give me an explanation? Genom? "
A voice that seemed to be suppressing its anger rang out behind Genom, causing him to stiffen on the spot.
Genom could only turn his neck with great difficulty. He looked behind him and saw a group of people standing there.
"Look at what you've done, Genom."
"Are you crazy?"
"Do you want to destroy the village?"
"Good for you, Genom. I've doted on you for nothing."
A group of elves from an elven division had arrived in droves. They stood behind Genom and cursed him with extremely unfriendly expressions.
The person in the lead was Caroline, whose face had completely darkened.
"La … Teacher Caroline …!?"
Genom's face turned green.
"Don't call me teacher. I don't have a disciple as bold as you."
The darkened Caroline looked like she was gnashing her teeth.
"Te … Teacher! Listen to me! " Genom felt that a disaster was about to befall him. He hurriedly said, "That foreign male took Merica away!"
"Is that so?" Caroline was unmoved. She said coldly, "What does his taking Merica have to do with you setting fire to the village and freezing this place?"
"Of course it's related!" Genom said loudly. "I have to snatch Merica back!"
"Snatch, my ass!" Caroline finally could not hold back her anger. She grabbed the back of Genom's collar and lifted him in front of her. She roared, "They came together in the first place. If they really wanted to do anything to Merica, would they have to wait until they returned to the elven homeland and did it in front of all the elves?!"
"But … But …!" Genom struggled subconsciously as he tried to refute.
"Say no more!" Caroline cut him off in an unquestionable manner. "Now, come back with me and kneel to the elves to apologize!"
With that, Caroline ignored Genom's struggles and took him away.
"Wait … Wait! Merica! My Merica —!!! "
Genom's loud cries resounded through the air.
Unfortunately, he did not receive any pity.
