Blood Elf Monarch

The two golden-ranked adventurers were assassin types. Basically, they are high skilled burglars who were caught trying to steal Forlorn Kingdom\'s elven artifacts.

Their techniques focus on surprise sneak attacks, dealing damage and making a quick getaway. It was to be expected that they have excellent speed-oriented skills.

The dozen elven warriors who were the first responder did not see it coming.

While The troll took most of the elves\' attention, as the creature possesses a massive attack power along with a huge, indestructible body, the assassins managed to sneak behind them and laid a fatal blow to the elves.

Splatt!!

"We- No, forget it, just leave the troll here!" One shouted.

"Agreed, let\'s get out!"

But, right at that moment, around six elves wearing an ornate silver tunic came. Patterns and stones were sewn on their outfits, their similarity most likely denoting their rank within the kingdom.

They did not waste any time, and right as they came, they threw multiple magic spells at the two burglars.

Water gathered all around one of them, creating dozens of spears that flew through the air towards the two. [Water Spear].

Another chanted a spell and created dozens of sharp leaves that flew through the air so quickly, they made whizzing noises. [Leaves of Steel]

The edges of the two humans\' body started to bleed thanks to the sharp and quick movements of the attacks. Those are merely tier 3 spells that could only do light attacks, but they were still pushed back, rendering them unable to run.

"We should split!"

Both nodded at each other before running in opposite directions. But, they only managed to run a few steps, before a loud bang could be heard from behind them, right in the direction where the rampaging troll was.

Bammmm!!

The two human assassins looked back, and they were shocked to see the elder troll was knocked down flat on the ground with just one move.

Said loud bang came from a large, blue thunderbolt that fell from the sky. The troll was still lay on the ground, and occasionally, blue sparks could be seen from its twitching body.

They quickly looked at each other, realization written all over their faces. From that attack, they knew that the Forlorn prince, Janus, is coming after them.

It was an easy guess. All Forlorn elves are part of the wood elf bloodline, which makes them a master of plant, water, and earth elements. Lightning element was a very powerful element that could only be wielded by high elves, and the only Forlorn elf with such an ability was the prince, who is known to have high elf blood.

There was no time to waste. The two used their abilities and tried to escape the place as quickly as possible. The prince merely glanced at them, snapped his fingers, and cast [Lightning Arrow]

A small but long blue bolt appeared out of thin air and chased one of the assassins. It pierced his heart, and killed him right then and there.

Before the prince was able to do the same for the other one, the elder troll jumped up and tried to grab the prince.

The creature was blood-sealed, and Tristan let it out with one sole objective. That is, to make as much of a mess and stall for time as long as possible.

Fortunately, the stone trolls have a natural resistance to lightning magic.

"Argh! This filthy creature!"

The prince gave the troll a hard elbow, forcing it to let him go.

Even a troll with 220 points of battle power was unable to match the prince\'s strength. But, the troll was specialized in defense, and it will take more than one punch to kill him.

They struggled for a while, and as the prince beat the troll into submission, he realized what he was fighting against.

"Those humans and trolls are our captives from the dungeon! Someone, quickly check the situation, and do not let anyone escape!"

On the other side of Forlorn city, Tristan quickly snuck past the elven guards.

"Alright, so far so good…" He muttered.

Behind him, there were Serene, Agoon, and Astrid who was carrying a blind limbless elf on her back. They left the prison from the palace\'s side door, avoiding the guards as they went. Tristan had managed to trick them into letting him go in, and he was not going to try and push his luck twice.

He touched the tiny earpiece and asked. "Where to next?"

(Head past the second building, and turn left to the first path you see.)

"Alright."

With the help of Chieng and his \'GREMLIN\' drone up in the air, they were able to sneak undetected by any other elves.

"On position, Chieng!"

(Yes, Master. On your path, there are three guards up front. That is the smallest number of sentry guards you must pass. I am afraid there is no way to evade this one.)

Tristan gestured to Serene and gave her the task to handle one. He will handle the other two.

Their quick movements ensured the elven warriors did not stand a chance. Of course, Tristan took a few seconds to use blood extract, hide the three bodies, and rushed out into the thick forest.

Their rendezvous point was an hour away to the east, and afterwards they could gallop away with the horses they hid on standby. After a quick hour run through the forest, they will be free.

Not more than five minutes after they ran, some kind of light dashed through the sky from the nearest tree. It blows in the air like fireworks.

"What the hell?!"

The group was shocked. This could only mean their position was compromised.

The blind elf on Astrid\'s back said.

"Did you guys just trip on the sensor…? That\'s too bad…"

Tristan twitched his eyes in annoyance. "Why didn\'t you warn us before?!"

"I am sorry; can\'t you see that I am blind? How am I supposed to know?"

Before Tristan could get even more enraged, Chieng\'s voice rang through the earpiece.

(Quickly, Master. A few dozen elves are chasing you.)
