The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 273: Save Friends & Friends
Even though it made many scratches on his arm, he still exerted all his strength.
"Gee, ah!"
"How unsightly, Eve Veilmist." Lina swept Eve's arm to the side mockingly.
"At the end of the day, you guys, who are just training as if you were playing in a sandbox, can't possibly beat a murderer who grew up in a real hell."
"What did you say?!" Hearing the statement, Eve gritted her teeth loudly.
The faces of his comrades in the Academy appeared in his mind one after another. Rin, Misha, comrade of «Hybrid» Knights. Lucia Eva's foster sister who prays for Eve's victory. And four of his team-mates were fighting in the same match.
Lina's current statement was equivalent to insulting all of Eve's peers in the Academy.
"Take those words back!"
"What do you mean?"
"To call it playing in the sandbox. Take those words back!" Eve said that while collecting divine power in both of her hands, she unleashed all of them at once.
As the sharp slicing wind began to blow, all the vines that bound him were cut off.
"His paralytic poison doesn't work!? No.." - No..." Lina Flame displayed an alarm on her face.
Eve quickly reached out to «Magic Stone» and grabbed it. The poison really works. Eve's consciousness remained hazy and could barely remain standing. Even so, as one of the «Hybrid» Knights, there are things that he should keep at all costs.
"For my comrades who entrusted the dream of victory to me..." He released «Ray Hawk» in his right hand, a storm gathered at his front end.
"I can't be defeated in a place like this!"
"Ck!"
Eve swung «Ray Hawk» with all her might. Facing the swirling wind blade attack. Lina took a leap, dodging the blade of wind as she threw the blade. Two knives hit Eve's leg.
"Gee, ah!" Holding back the scream he was about to emit, Eve glared at the enemy before her. Fortunately, the paralytic poison that spreads reduces the intensity of the pain.
"If you stop resisting, you will soon be free from suffering." Lina grumbled calmly as she flicked her finger. The vines that were cut off from the spirit of the demon tree instantly regenerated.
"Damn it, to think it would have such regenerative power!"
For Eve's elemental weapon intended for slash attacks, the spirit of the demon tree was a bad fight. If it was the fire spirit Victoria or the ice demon spirit Aura, the fight would probably be more in their favor.
Eve's entire field of view is foggy. In a state of intoxication, he could not completely refine his holy power. However, the cutting edge of «Ray Hawk» once again gathers the wind.
(I can't let my friends at the Academy witness such an unsightly sword style!)
Prolonged fighting should be avoided. Victory must be decided in one attack.

"Pieces of blood sacrifice, «Titania»!"
The countless squirming vines all rushed towards Eve.
*ᚠ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"Veilmist style spear, secret technique, «Flash Gale»!"
At that moment, the strong gale released with all its strength finally pierced the ground away from the target.
"A futile struggle..." A scornful expression appeared on Lina's face.
At the same time, the spirit tendrils of the demon tree reached out to the cloud of dust to capture Eve. However, in the next second. Lina's expression froze.
"What!?"
Behind the cloud of dust, Eve is nowhere to be found.
"Is he upstairs!?"
He suddenly realized his existence, but it was too late. Hidden amongst the scattering dust and flying in the wind, Eve had flown high in the air.
(Because my legs can't move, I fly using the wind!)
"Successful!" Eve muttered by riding the wind, she changed her trajectory in the air.
Tightening her grip on the swelling «Ray Hawk» with strong winds, Eve quickly descended as she aimed at Lina on the ground. As soon as the tip of the spear touched the ground, a storm erupted.
In the last seconds, Lina tried to dodge. However, her tiny body crashed, hitting the wall violently.
Landing on the ground, Eve accelerated once more, attacking to deliver a decisive attack. But, the blowing wind began to lose coherence.
"What?!"
(Ooh, my body feels so hot!)
The circulation of divine power had caused the paralytic poison to spread faster. As the wind enveloped her, Eve could barely lift a single finger.
"Gee, a little more!" Eve claws sand on the surface of the floor, desperately trying to gather her final strength.
"I'm too careless of you. I underestimated you."
However, the first one standing was Lina Flame. Even though he had sustained injuries from the attack just now, he was more than healthy enough to continue fighting.
"However, further struggle is futile..."
"Not necessarily."
Suddenly, in her blurred state of consciousness, Eve heard a familiar voice.
"What!?" Lina Flame turned around to stare at the huge stairs in the ruins.
(You're very late.).
Seeing her figure in her slowly blurred vision, Eve suddenly smiled.
(Indeed, I was waiting for this voice.)
Eve was very sure he would come. Therefore he was able to survive and continue to fight.
"Kaizo's..."
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Eve." Kaizo jumps down the stairs and lands next to Eve.
"How did you get here?"
"Eve, your voice is carried by the wind."
"I understand, thank you."
Kaizo pressed «Spirit Crystal» healer into Eve's hands and stood up lightly. Then he turned towards Lina who had taken a fighting position.
"The fifth member of «Tim Inferno» turns out to be you."
"Kaizo's..." The Elfim girl groaned in her throat. Apparently, the two seemed to know each other. But since they both came from «Instructional» School, that possibility crossed Eve's mind.
"I'm so happy, you and Mia are fine. And also, even though reuniting in this way wasn't what I expected." Kaizo sighed tiredly.
"God, go ahead and kill, «Titania»!"
In response to Lina's voice, the spirit vines of the demon tree attacked Kaizo.
"Kaizo!" Eve shouted. However, such worries are unnecessary.
Pulling out «Demon Slayer», Kaizo directly cut out all the vines. He said, "Stop, you can't beat me. I'm sure you know that well, don't you?"
"Gee!" Lina bit her lips in disappointment.
"I-I'm going to back off now!" He quickly jumped towards the demon tree spirit that was growing from the ground.
Jumping into the huge red flower, the petals instantly closed and disappeared into the ground. In the blink of an eye, the demon tree spirit had swallowed Lina and disappeared without a trace.
"That kind of a trick again. This girl really likes fancy tricks like always." Kaizo could only exclaim.
"Eve, are you okay?"
"abs, hmm. Because you're here, ah..." Still collapsed on the ground, Eve nodded. Immediately, his face suddenly turned bright red.
"Ka-Kaizo, say..."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Kaizo finds his gaze drawn to a certain location. That voluptuous chest, clad in black underwear, looks entirely due to the undyed uniform.
"Stop looking, brengs*k!"
"Sorry." Kaizo frantically turned her gaze away as she blushed.
