Boom! Bam!

Alice slammed into a tree. Before her body fell to the ground, a human figure appeared before her, the figure attacked, kicking towards her head. On the leg of the figure was a boot made from the earth element.

Alice saw the leg approaching and without delay, she tried to use her fire element to force the leg back, but it only managed to delay it. With the help of her lightning element, she was able to quickly move back, dodging the leg.

The kick missed her and she balanced herself. She took a glance at the Seventh Prince, her Seelie was standing beside her.

"Is this how you're planning to fight against me? Sorry to say but you won't survive five minutes with me." The Seventh Prince was a proud figure, he was a genius even amongst the other geniuses in the Gnome world. Against anyone else, he was certain of his abilities, Grey was the only one who had left a scar in his head.

Alice didn't say anything, her eyes were serious as she looked at the Prince and his puppet. The puppet was quite powerful, more than what Alice felt she could deal with. If she were to merge with the Seelie now, she would be able to fight with the puppet on equal footing, the only problem was the Prince who was by the side. With the Prince there, it would be difficult for her to gain any advantages.

'I can deal with both of them. I just need to endure for a while.' She had a plan, and all she needed to do was to make sure she didn't give in. As long as she continued fighting against him, she was certain her chance to take him down would come.

The Prince saw her eyes and chuckled, "You humans still haven't accepted your places. We are the superior ones, and you're just toys waiting for us to pick you up."

Bang!

A lightning bolt fell from the sky, striking the place the Prince was standing on.

The Prince reacted fast, and was able to dodge the attack by a hair's breadth.

"Keep talking." Alice attacked once again.

This time, she sent the Seelie to fight with the puppet while she went after the Prince.

The Seelie wasn't as strong as the puppet, but it should be able to at least hold it back for a while.

The Prince smirked when he saw Alice coming towards him, with a confident face, he struck out. At the moment, he didn't want to kill Alice, they originally planned on capturing Grey's friends, and now one of them had walked forward to be captured, he couldn't believe his luck.

He attacked ferociously, not letting Alice get any chance in the battle, he was stronger, had more elements, and was able to overpower her with ease.

Boom! Bam!

.

At another part of the secret realm, two figures could be seen rushing through the woods, behind them, was a group chasing after them.

"Fuck! Why do we always get the hard part?" Klaus caused as he looked behind him.

The group of Peak Elemental Venerables were chasing after them. All with their puppets out.

Reynolds' body was covered in his lightning armor. Without it, he would not have been able to run this fast. Klaus was using the help of his boosted strength to run as fast as he could.

The fact that they could run this fast stunned the Gnomes. They were all at the Peak, yet two people that had the strength of at most a Ninth stage Elemental Venerable were running faster than they were. It was a shocking thing to see. If they were told something like this was possible, they would've never believed it.

Reynolds looked behind them and sent out a lightning arrow. Given the speed at which the Gnomes were coming at them, it made the lightning arrow seem faster than it usually is. The person the arrow was aimed at dodged to the side, but the arrow grazed his shoulder.

The man's expression didn't change as he continued chasing after them. This wasn't the first time they had been attacked. Of the duo they were chasing, they were more afraid of Klaus.

When they left the castle, including the Second Prince, there were eight of them. Now however, there are only seven of them. The Second Prince was still with them, but one of them had been taken down from Klaus' attack.

The attack was too sudden and before they could even react, the man had turned into an ice sculpture, before breaking apart.

When Klaus and Reynolds first appeared before them, Klaus attacked with the help of the bunny leader. The man didn't even know how he died.

Klaus had been preparing an ice needle all through the time they were following behind the group, so when they came out, the first thing he did was to attack, taking out one of them in the process.

The others were furious about it and had been chasing after the duo for a while now. Klaus had attacked just once since then, and the person he attacked was forced to cut off one of his legs.

They've all seen that Klaus can't use the attack continuously, but the two times he had used it had been very effective.

"We have to make sure we capture them. If we have these two, we can use them to bring him in." The Second Prince said.

"We're aware of that, but as you can see, it's not easy to catch up to them." One of the men said as they were flying through the woods.

Klaus knew that if they flew through the sky it would be easy for the Peak Venerables to catch up to them, so he chose the option of the forest. With it, there would be obstacles, and they could also use it to attack them too while they were dodging the trees. In conclusion, going through the trees was a big plus for them.
