Border Battlefield

Under the dim yellow sky, broken armors and corpses could be seen everywhere. This was the battlefield between humans and Orcs, a nest of death. Those who were in it could hear the wailing of souls.

At this moment, the humans and Orcs were not engaged in a large-scale battle, but there were some small-scale conflicts happening from time to time. Among them, there was a very special squad searching for something in this deadly border battlefield.

Why was it special? Because among all the squads fighting for their race's glory, only this one was mixed-race. Leading the way was a shape-shifter dragon race maid with a crossbow. Beside her was a human youth with a giant sword and wearing heavy armor. In the rear were a human youth holding a priest's scripture and shepherd's staff and an Orc girl who also held a shepherd's staff but was dressed in an extravagant outfit that did not seem to fit in. Another was a mage girl holding an elemental magic wand, her figure hidden by a slightly oversized mage hat and robe.

"Lilya, are you sure Celeste's earth elementals have remnants here? I feel like there's nothing special besides humans and Orcs." The dragon race maid at the front suddenly turned her head to ask the mage girl behind her.

"Mhmm, I can sense very clearly that the blood crystals that were used to summon earth elementals to deal with the Clive army have been active here." The mage girl adjusted the edge of her mage hat and answered.

"Hey Haechi, you should dress less flashy when you come to the battlefield. Be careful or you'll lose your life." The human youth in the back row said to the Orc girl next to him.

"Hmph! Mind your own business! I've heard that holy ones are all brawny, muscle-headed idiots who can't understand a girl's heart. Besides, my outfit is not just for show!" The Orc girl snorted disdainfully at the priest youth.

"Watch out! There's movement ahead. Stop chatting! Tianfan, Haechi, prepare your battle buffs. Lilya, get ready to construct the magic. Matchstick and I will go ahead to check the situation." The youth with the heavy sword at front seemed to have discovered something. He immediately interrupted everyone's conversation and became alert.

The dim yellow sky seemed like an ominous omen, like the moment of meeting a demon, making everyone feel tense.

In front of them, the ground that was originally empty started to vibrate. The yellow sand and broken stones on the ground suddenly came together in mid-air as if they were alive, hollowing out the ground in no time. Many large holes formed on the ground while sand and stones flew in the air, creating an apocalyptic scene.

"O Pure Light Goddess, please hear my prayers. Turn into the eternal radiance and protect your devout believers. Divine Barrier!" A pure white barrier unfolded in front of everyone. The human youth in the back row named Tianfan recited a prayer, isolating the calamity outside. The stones and sand flying in the air were constantly hitting the barrier, but the seemingly fragile barrier remained unshaken.

A red light suddenly appeared in the sky, like a command to an army. The sand and stones in the air seemed to sense something and gathered towards the red light. In no time, a fierce-looking earth elemental giant over ten meters tall appeared in this deadly battlefield.

"Oh Elves of Nature who reside in all things, I wish to merge with nature and swear to protect it with my life. Please lend me your strength, and I shall be invincible!" The Orc girl in the back row also began to chant and dance an unusual dance, as if performing a special ritual. "Pure Light Goddess, please turn into the eternal radiance and protect your devout believers. Rid us of pain and calamity! Divine Blessing! Yanhe, go forth with your newfound strength!"

"Tch! Fine, I won't argue with you at a time like this. Matchstick, Lilya, cover me! For the glory of the War God, let my blood protect my allies, and fight together with unbreakable vows! Blood Oath!"

A red glow lit up on Yanhe, the youth wielding a giant sword in front, and his body was filled with sinister magic power akin to fresh blood. With both hands dragging the giant sword, he charged towards the earth elemental giant.

The newly-born earth elemental giant had also locked onto its enemy. A fist the size of a house ruthlessly smashed down towards Yanhe.

"Explosion!" With a girl's incantation, terrifying magic power gathered in the air. A huge fireball bloomed in the sky, and the explosive force of the flames barely deflected the earth elemental giant's fist, smashing it violently beside Yanhe, splashing sand and dust in all directions, and also badly damaging half of the earth elemental giant's arm."Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh~"

At the same time, several crossbow arrows broke through the air, exactly from the matchstick who quickly moved and shot arrows from the side.

"Ding Ding Ding~!"

"Dammit, it can't break the defense, no wonder it's Celeste's earth element."

However, a series of sounds like hitting steel made the matchstick's face darken, but successfully diverted the attention of the earth elemental giant for a moment.

"Offer glory to the God of War, charge forward with my sharp blade, and crush the enemy with blood and power! Giant's Power!"

Yanhe suddenly stomped and shattered the ground. The strong recoil force made him soar into the air. As Yanhe muttered the spell, the ominous blood-like magic power also wrapped around the giant sword in his hand.

Yanhe, who had jumped high into the sky, roared angrily, and a faint red light appeared in his pupils. He raised the heavy sword and slashed the earth elemental giant's body fiercely using gravity. The powerful impact force knocked the giant back more than ten meters, and splashes of mud scattered like blood. A huge crack appeared on the body of the earth elemental giant.

However, Yanhe, who had just landed, was hit by the earth elemental giant, who didn't know pain, and flew like a broken rag doll, heavily hitting back in front of Lilia and the others.

"Yanhe! Are you alright?!" Lilia asked somewhat worriedly to Yanhe lying on the ground.

"Yes, I'm fine, Tianfan Haizhi, heal me quickly, today I want to cut this pile of broken stones to pieces!"

Yanhe slowly got up, leaning on the heavy sword, insisting that he was fine but his distorted hand and blood stains everywhere did not convince anyone.

"Lilia, don't worry about him, this injury will only inspire his fighting spirit. The berserker of Nelsstan is not famous for nothing. Build a tomb for the filthy diseases and pains, offer sweet springs to the Goddess of Love and Healing, and ask for the mercy of the gospel to wash away all the pain in front of you!"

Under the healing of the two priests, Yanhe quickly became energetic and charged forward with his heavy sword once again.

"Lilia! Give me the blessing of the wind, I want to punch this thing!"

At this time, Matchstick, who was shooting a crossbow at the side, suddenly threw the weapon in his hand to the side and rushed towards the earth elemental giant.

"Eh?! Okay! Offer loyalty to the Storm Goddess, beg for her help and grant me the power to defeat the strong enemy, Wind Blessing!"

Green wind elements gathered around Matchstick, making the already fast running Matchstick leave only an afterimage, instantly traversing a distance of hundreds of meters and appearing in front of the earth elemental giant.

"Today, I must go to bed early!!!"

"Boom~~!"

With an unclear meaning from Matchstick's mouth, he threw out an ordinary, unremarkable uppercut. Then the air in front of Matchstick's fist twisted, a huge explosion sounded between Matchstick's fist and the earth elemental, and surprisingly, the ten-meter-high earth elemental giant was knocked into the air by a punch from a young girl.

"Lilia, please!"

"Alright! EX·Explosin!"

As Lilia's voice fell, the magic array that had been prepared in the sky was triggered. Five giant magic circles of more than ten meters enveloped the stone giant in the air.

The magic power trembled in the atmosphere, first the dazzling light lit up, followed by a earth-shaking explosion and heat. A beautiful mushroom cloud blossomed in the sky. Of course, no one could ignore the lingering heat around and watched it.

"Wow! This is spectacular! It's no wonder it was created by Tuo Uncle's arcane potion. It can actually amplify Lilia's explosive array to this level." Haizhi in the rear marvelled.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's better to help me maintain the holy barrier if you have time. Without the barrier, we would have been burned to ashes just now!"

"Alright, alright, having such powerful teammates is enough. A dragon, a berserker, a saint, and a half-elf mage. As a chosen one, providing buff to you is enough."

"You bastard!"

With the fire retreating, a completely burnt giant stone fell like a meteorite to the ground, making a heavy noise and lies motionless. The battlefield of death returned to the usual silence."No way! How did you two solve this so quickly? I was just about to go all out!" Yanhe stood in the center of the battlefield, holding his huge sword and said helplessly.

"Hehe, sorry about that. I'll leave the next prey for you," Matchstick playfully patted Yanhe's shoulder as he passed by him.

"Fine, fine. The most important thing now is to find the Blood Crystal. I'll go check the place where the Earth Elemental's loot dropped."

Lilia walked to the deep pit created by the Earth Elemental Giant, closed her eyes to sense it, and soon opened her eyes. She raised her staff and used Psychic Telekinesis to clear the debris, revealing a hidden dull red Blood Crystal.

Lilia waved the Blood Crystal in her hand, shouting, "Got the Blood Crystal~ Now we can go back and find Sisi!"

"That's good. Tian Fan, I'll treat you to a drink when we get back. Tonight we won't stop until we're drunk!"

"I have to pray, and as a clergyman, I'm not allowed to drink."

"Tsk, what a boring guy."

"Yanhe, I'll join you for a drink. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"

"No thanks. Everyone knows that dragons can't get drunk. There's no fun in knowing your opponent can't get drunk."

"Humph, fine then. Lilia, Lilia! Let's go back and find a dessert shop to stuff ourselves!"

"Sounds good. Hmm, Matchstick, just be careful not to eat the shop out of business."

"Wait, wait! What about me? What about the most adorable Meow of the sea? Take me with you!"

"People who don't contribute don't deserve to eat. Tonight it's just me and Lilia's world."

As dusk approached, the shadows of the five people stretched out, this is a story of a group of people and one Elves.
