Chapter 136 Final Battle IV - Unknown Woman
The air was thick with tension as the suicide bombing group approached their target.
All the girls knew the moment they started to fight with their normal weapons, they will get cursed just like in their previous battle so, they had to wage every little chance they had for this attack and hoped that Eldora would accept their surrender instead of mercilessly killing them. And just like they expected, they managed to infiltrate the area with their hands in the air.
All the dark elves also allowed them to come inside seeing no weapons outside their bodies, and even if they had something none of them was worried since Eldora is there to protect them.
They had absolute confidence in Eldora's skill even exceeding what elves had for their queen.
'We should be thankful for Nym for creating something this deadly'
Lydia thought as she searched for her target. She noticed Alva and Emily but, no matter how she tried she couldn't find Nikol or Eldora.
"How do we reach two of them? They are above us," Lydia questioned her sister, who noticed the same thing.
But before they could do anything, they heard the scream of a woman which startled them quite a bit.
All the dark elves, that were guarding them also looked at the owner of this sound only to see their leader, Eldora looking at something with fear in her eyes.
"What just happened?" They started questioning each other, but the girls in the alliance knew why she shouted like that as soon as they looked at the person next to her, that was lying on the floor.
"Now's is our chance,"
All of them quickly hugged the dark elves near them and Lydia and Eva ran in the direction of Eldora hoping to push her away from Nikol and blast themselves in a safe distance, so Nikol won't get caught in that explosion.
But their plan was full of errors as they didn't consider the danger of Eldora surviving this attack. In case, she had something to counter that attack, they will be giving this sacrifice for nothing.
But suddenly, a thunderous sound shook the ground, and the earth cracked open. A massive crater appeared shocking everyone, and from its depths emerged a woman, who looked no older than Usha and Eva.
She floated gracefully in the air, her long white hair flowing in the wind gracefully, and her azure eyes glimmering with a mysterious power unknown to any living being.
She surveyed the battlefield with a stern expression, and her presence alone sent shivers down the spines of the soldiers who witnessed this strange incident, in both alliance and the dark elf army.
No one knew who she was, where she came from, or what her intentions were. But one thing was clear, she was not to be trifled with.
The soldiers hesitated, unsure whether to attack or retreat and Eldora looked confused. But before they could make a move, the woman spoke in a voice that seemed to echo through the entire battlefield with everyone feeling their legs getting rather weak.
"I have come to put an end to this senseless fighting. Lay down your arms and hand over that young man over there, or face the consequences."
Her words were met with silence, and for a moment, it seemed as if everyone was holding their breath. Then, one of Eldora's lackeys stepped forward, with her sword aiming at the woman who was waiting for the answer.
"Who are you to demand our surrender?" she shouted.
"We will never bow down to a stranger!"
The woman did not flinch. Instead, she raised her hand, and a blinding blue light erupted from her palm. The lackey was thrown back, her whole body shattered, and after a few minutes, her whole body was reduced to dust with no signs of her existence.
The other soldiers watched in shock as the woman landed gracefully on the ground. She took a step forward, and the earth shook beneath her feet.
Eldora, who was shocked earlier felt like her legs were shaking as soon as she witnessed this incident, but her fear started getting even more as she heard the voice of the fairy that was supposed to be brave and fearless.
"Run, that's not something we should face," The voice said and quickly disappeared so, the unknown woman won't notice her presence.
"I am not here to make enemies," she said, with her voice calm but firm.
"But if you insist on continuing this pointless battle without handing me over what I want, then I have no choice but to fight."
The soldiers looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Some were afraid, while others were intrigued by the woman's power and some were already making puddles beneath their legs.
But before anyone could make a move, another thunderous sound filled the air. This time, it was not the woman, but a fleet of flying monsters that appeared on the horizon and had an appearance similar to dragons but they were not dragons instead they were inferior versions called wyverns.
The woman turned her attention to the monsters, her eyes narrowing in displeasure. She raised her hand again, and a wave of energy shot out, destroying one of the monsters and sending the others scattering into the air without even trying, sending Eldora into despair.
"I see that you have allies," she said in a cold voice, which lacked the previous empathy.
"But even they will not be able to stop me."
With that, she leapt into the air, her body surrounded by a glowing aura. The soldiers watched in awe as she flew towards the remaining monsters, her fists glowing with a power which took the colour of blue.
A fierce battle ensued, with the woman taking on the monsters single-handedly. Her movements were graceful but deadly, and each punch or kick sent shockwaves through the air causing the people on the floor to close their eyes and ears so that dust won't enter.
Everyone watched in amazement, wondering who this woman was and where she had come from. And as the battle raged on, they knew that they were witnessing something truly extraordinary and something beyond their comprehension.
For the unknown woman had broken through the sky and shattered the floor of the battlefield, and in doing so, she had changed the course of this war in an unexpected direction.
Lydia and Eva also quickly fell back and ordered not to make any move and they quickly took Nikol and started running away.
Zenda also started doing the same thing, but even before they can reach the kingdom, that strange woman landed in front of them with a head of a wyvern in her hand.
"Where are you taking him? Give him back,"
The way she addressed Nikol as 'he', Lydia knew this woman knew Nikol's true identity.
"Who are you?" In an awkward tone, Lydia questioned hoping she would at least answer or hoping to buy some time but suddenly Eldora started running in their direction while mounting a huge monster.
Her face looked no different from a monster she was riding, as she kept grinding her teeth like a complete mess.
"I can't! I can't! There's no running away for me anymore, I made too many sacrifices for this, even if I die, I have to keep moving forward," Eldora kept muttering to herself, forgetting about her goals because of what she witnessed.
'It is the mythical stick from the legends, I don't need Number one anymore, If I can capture that handsome-looking monster'
Someone in their right mind would run away after witnessing the massacre of that unknown woman, but Eldora lost her sanity a long time ago, so she kept charging and charging until she reached the place where Lydia's group is talking with her.
"Hand over that monster! or -" Eldora tried to use her curse magic again and again, but sending shivers through her spine, she couldn't spawn any of the curses making her shout in anger at the source.
"Apo, send curse what are you doing?" In a hurry, she whispered in fear but no matter how much she shouted, Eldora didn't get any response.
"Oh, who's Apo? and why do you want him? You dare to take this man away from me,"
Hearing the voice of the unknown woman getting close to her Eldora, quickly ordered her monster to run back without even looking back. She didn't understand why Apo, her fairy ran away without even trying to fight back after all their sacrifices, but at that time she didn't know why this woman was dangerous.
"Tsk, I asked a question, how rude of you to run away without answering me," She questioned and quickly grabbed the tail of the monster.
Lydia and the others kept looking at this unbelievable scene with their eyes wide open, but before they could even process the data, she suddenly threw Eldora and the monster both after lifting them up like, they were soft feathers.
*Ahhhhh
Eldora continued to yell as the wind slapped her body, indicating that they were no longer touching the ground.
"Ohh! So you can shout, I wouldn't have thrown you like this, if you answered me," She said with a smile and looked at Lydia's squad with her eyes squinted and questioned.
"So what did you ask?"
