To Rosie’s surprise, Elena had already slipped away and was behind Lin Xiao!
Did Elena have a way to save Lin Xiao? But she wasn’t a magician, she didn’t even have a weapon, how is she going to save him?
Is she planning to use her large breasts to block the axe for him?
With the thickness of her two slabs of meat, a normal axe probably wouldn’t be able to deal with it…
But what Rosie was more curious about is when Elena slipped over? She just noticed that Lin Xiao was in danger, yet Elena was already next to him, why was there such a large difference between them?
Of course, this wasn’t Rosie’s fault, she was a spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, and had little experience in battle, unlike Elena.
Her perception skill could cover the entire battlefield, and she could clearly grasps every single action made.
So, when Caesar was attacked by Veblen for the third time, Elena knew that he was going to try and throw the axe to ambush Lin Xiao, and she walked next to him in advance.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, but she did indeed want to save Lin Xiao.
Why is she suddenly so nice and wants to save Lin Xiao? Hmph, of course, there’s a very profound reason!
Frankly, she didn’t want to either.
Lin Xiao getting ambushed? Getting his head crushed with an axe?
That was something she yearned for in her dreams! She longed for a day where she would wake up and Lin Xiao had his eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, his limb shattered, dead right next to her, then she would be free!
Originally, she wanted to find a way to poison him, now that someone’s doing it for her, she couldn’t ask for more!
Then why did she go save him? There are three reasons.
First, if Lin Xiao died here, then her situation would become awkward.
Although she would temporarily regain her freedom, but don’t forget, Snow still had her niece. Even if she left Lin Xiao, she couldn’t just leave Elona and return to the Forest of the End herself. If Snow found out, Elona would be tormented!
Second, she still needed Snow and Lin Xiao’s help.
She didn’t want to admit it, but as a Saintess, Snow had more information than her, especially regarding Lesser Devils. They also already suggested an alliance, she shouldn’t make her an enemy, even if it’s a trick, she should use Snow to obtain the information she needs.
Third, and the most important… who says that Lin Xiao will definitely die?
If the axe hit him and he turns into an idiot, or it hits someplace else and he becomes a cripple, then wouldn’t she have to take care of him for the rest of his life?
「Elena, you’re brother’s maid, now that he’s disabled, obviously, you have to take care of him… what? The demon’s revival? The safety of your compatriots? Forget it, who cares about their fate, I’m leaving brother to you! You have to take care of him well!」
Elena could just picture Snow’s crafty smile and those malicious words.
She doesn’t want to take care of Lin Xiao for the rest of his life! She would have to feed him, walk him, then when he’s old, she would have to take him to the washroom… it’s terrifying just thinking about it.
So, after some deliberation, she decided to lend a hand.
No, no, no.. she didn’t lend a ‘hand’ but a ‘feet’.
As he was in imminent peril, she gently kicked him!
She didn’t use much strength, she placed one foot on his butt, and the other to support her, then she gave him a gentle push with his feet, not enough to make him fall, just so he staggered a few steps, then continued chanting in a daze.
It was this stagger that saved Lin Xiao’s life.
The flying axe that was supposed to hit him head on, opening a hole in his skill, but because of Elena’s kick, Lin Xiao shifted a bit and the sharp axe swept by his face, taking a couple of hairs with it, but didn’t injure him in the slightest.
In a blink of an eye, the axe flew past and embedded into a large tree trunk with a thud. The entire axe was buried, the power was frightening, if that hit Lin Xiao’s head, it would definitely be split open.
Seeing Lin Xiao safe and sound, Shen DaiYing was able to heave a sigh of relief, but since she already used shadow blink, when she stopped she was already standing next to Lin Xiao, coincidentally looking right at Elena.
Shen DaiYing tried thanking her for her help, but her cold gaze left her speechless.
She didn’t know why Elena was so hostile towards her, and she couldn’t tell whether Elena’s eyes were mocking her slow reactions, or flaunting that she saved Lin Xiao first.
No matter what, accompanied by the two beauties, Lin Xiao finally finished his chant!
“Dobule chant… A dance of ice and snow!”
“Tsk…”
Caesar should have been happy after Lin Xiao finished casting, but he unconsciously clicked his tongue, watching the fading magic circuit with a complicated expression.
The remainder of the fight had nothing to do with him anymore, although he really wanted to personally give Veblen a beating, but he had to leave that place as soon as possible, otherwise, he might get caught in Lin Xiao’s magic.
“A dance of ice and snow?”
Watching the floating snowflakes, Veblen was dumbstruck.
Fifth level magic, a dance of ice and snow, it has a large range, but low destructive power, it creates ice and snow atmosphere in a limited area, and lowers the temperature, it was like a weaker version of the seventh level ‘Snow storm’.
But with double chant’s amplification, then it wasn’t that weak anymore.
The temperature of the original still and quiet forest plummeted, a layer of frost covered the grass, and the red marks on Veblen’s body grew dim.
In an instant, a snowstorm swirled.
The first person who was hit couldn’t even scream before he was buried in snow, he was completely frozen and couldn’t move at all.
Veblen cried out in alarm and tried running, but it was already too late, snow filled his vision as far as he could see, and he didn’t even know where he should escape to.
It doesn’t matter, he just needed to rush straight! He definitely can rush out of its range.
He decided and started running, but he quickly realized that he couldn’t run, it was like he couldn’t control his body, his legs became heavy, numb.
The ground was already completely covered in ice and snow, each step he took left a deep footprint. Every step took so much of his energy, and he became increasingly tired, his consciousness growing hazy. In the end, without him noticing, he also froze into an ice sculpture.
Just like that, all four members from Water Academy became popsicles and the battle came to an end.
Watching the snow continue to fall, Lin Xiao wasn’t in a rush to plunder the crystal, but he looked behind and saw the axe embedded in the tree.
Of course, he knew what happened he just didn’t know why Elena lent him a ‘foot’.
He muttered to himself then turned to stare at Elena.
“Why’d you kick me?” He never said what he really wanted to ask, while he brushed away the clear footprint left behind on his ass to show he was relaxed, while using an inquisitive tone to probe her.
“Because you were asking for it.” Elena coldly responded.
“Tsk, tsk… y-you weren’t trying to save me, right?” He swept his gaze across Elena’s face then looked away, and nonchalantly mumbled, “How strange, you wanted to poison me before, so why did you save me today… Elena, I won’t thank you, because that’s your duty as a maid.”
He thought that Elena would blush, but she was unmoving, and said what she had already prepared.
“Idiot, don’t get too full of yourself. I just thought it would be bothersome, it would be better if you die after we get rid of the contract.”
“Uh…”
Although it was natural, it felt uncomfortable, and wasn’t what he was expecting.
“A-actually, I already anticipated an ambush! Even if you didn’t help me, I could easily avoid it.” Lin Xiao glanced at her and obstinately said.
“Oh, good, then you’re really strong, you can even evade an attack while double chanting… you must show me next time.” Elena’s flat tone sounded extremely satirical.
“What’s so difficult about that? I can even multi-cast while double chanting. Do you believe me?”
“Yes, you’re very strong.”
“Of course.”
“You can even fly, turn into a red-eyed black cat and swat me to death.”
“Uh….”
Lin Xiao opened his mouth but didn’t know how to follow up, he could only glare at her, then silently wait for the snow to stop falling to plunder he crystals.
During that time, he was only preoccupied with bickering with Elena, questioning why she saved him, but forgetting that she wasn’t the only one that wanted to save him.
“Hehe…”
From the start to the end, Shen DaiYing was ignored by the two like she was part of the background. She wasn’t able to interrupt and could only stand by silently and awkwardly smiling.
Was her worry and concern unnecessary?
