Heorgar, the demon wolf, was fighting with his maximum transformation. As the demon wolf swung his dark spear at the elf, Emery could see his tattoo and the horn on the wolf's head glow.

Swish! Swish!

Clank!

The spear and the elf's curved sword clashed over and over, all their hits swift and precise. As the two weapons clashed, a blast of energy appeared at its surroundings, turning whatever in its area to nothingness.

It was clear to see that any small mistake would be critical to all of them, so Silva chose to get involved in this fight. If they could help Heorgar kill this elf magus, they might be able to turn the tide.

"Urgh, you puny human!!"

Emery and Silva's multiple special entangle spells were all over the elf. The seemingly never-ending growth of these roots annoyed the elf quite a bit, but even just a small aftershock blast from the two weapons' clash was enough to turn the incoming black and white roots into dust.

It was difficult for the roots to even touch the elf, much less restrain his movements. Even so, both of them still continued to channel the spells endlessly. Right as the existing roots were turned to dust, more of them quickly replaced the old ones.

With how quickly they were casting, there was almost no lag between the dissipation of the roots and the growth of new ones.

The elf was certainly annoyed, but it was nowhere near enough to bring a real impact and affect the battle as the high elf had very high discipline. Disrupting the fight was much harder than they thought.

"You!! Stupid elf, why don't you dare to fight us!? Are you afraid!? Coward!!"

The girl even set in provoking the elf with some insults, but it was still not enough to give the elf any meaningful distraction.

"Damn it, this guy is one of the smart ones," Silva clicked her tongue and muttered in annoyance.

The girl's eyebrows even furrowed a little as she racked her brain to find another solution when suddenly, a loud scream sounded, snapping her out of her thoughts.

When the two turned to check the source of the scream, they saw that the wolf magus Anna was struck by her opponent, leaving her wounded on the ground. The few wolf saint warriors nearby rushed to help her, but their attempt was in vain as they ended up losing their lives instead.

Seeing their predicament, Emery was once again itching to help the wolf warriors. He was about to rush there out of impulse, but Silva quickly held his shoulder, stopping him before he could move.

"Let's give it one more try!" Silva said when their eyes met. This time, seriousness was apparent in her eyes. "Follow me and increase our attacks."

As soon as she finished speaking, Silva swiftly dashed toward where Heorgar and the elf were fighting, closing in on the battle area in a second. When Emery heard her words, he immediately knew that she decided to take a larger risk.

Knowing how dire the situation was, he quickly chased after her while channeling his energy into his sword.

50 meters.

30 meters.

The closer they were, the faster and fiercer the black and white roots grew and filled the area. But this was not all. What Silva was actually aiming for was to divert the elf's attention toward them, or at least divide his attention, while still having some room to escape in case they failed or anything went wrong.

Knowing the plan, Emery changed his tactics and decided to step up his game by channeling his energy to his sword.

He began to wait for the right timing, and when it finally arrived soon after

Swish!

Emery unleashed his strongest attack, [Shadow Edge].

The dark blade went dashing toward the elf. Although he knew that the chance was extremely small, Emery still hoped a little that his strongest attack would be successful.

Unfortunately, reality was not so accommodating. The moment the dark blade arrived, the elf easily blocked his attack with his bare arm and continued fighting as if it was nothing.

It really had no impact on the battle.

However, the girl beside him suddenly shouted, "Continue using that! I will protect you!"

Hearing a girl tell him that she would protect him made Emery feel a bit weird, but he nodded and began channeling more energy to the tier 4 sword. As soon as it was ready, he swiftly unleashed another [Shadow Edge].

Clank!!

This time, with the demon wolf's constant attacks, the elf was not able to block Emery's energy blade. The sharp shadow blade hit the elf magus directly to his shoulder, but unfortunately, it was clear to him that his skill had no real effect on the elf. Despite it being the strongest attack spell he had, it could not even leave a mark on the elf's body.

Emery felt that it was futile. Silva, however, was satisfied with the result.

"Again! It's working!"

Right as she finished speaking, Heorgar's spear managed to land a wide scar on the elf's body.

Seeing this, Emery understood. Although his attack did not directly injure the elf, it definitely affected him! Upon realizing this, he quickly channeled more energy and created an even stronger [Shadow Edge] while Silva began preparing a powerful spell.

It was as if the girl knew what the elf was about to do next; the elf changed his tactic. After Heorgar's spear scratched him, the elf sheathed his sword and began to use powerful lightning magic to fight Heorgar.

"It's coming!"

Just a second after Silva said those words, the elf cast a powerful lightning blast.

[Tempest]

It was a terrifying tier 7 lightning attack spell. Once this spell was cast, the whole area would be struck with a powerful lightning blast. This was also one of the worst-case scenarios that they were both afraid of; with them being too close, they would not have enough time to escape such an attack.

Emery unconsciously grabbed the girl in his arm and used [Blink] to move away as far as he could. Alas, with the spell's lightning blast closing in so fast, he did not have enough time to use [Blink] a second time.

Silva, however, was ready. Just before the lightning blast reached them, the girl swiftly side-stepped. Now standing in front of him, she quickly used the energy she collected to hold the spells.

BAM!!!

The moment the blast reached them, Silva loudly screamed in pain. The blast was so powerful that it instantly took away the protective shields in both of their armor.

Emery knew that his [Granite Skin] also would not be enough to hold it, so he quickly moved as it was time to use the life-saving item given by the headmaster.

But the girl was faster than him. Before he even finished taking his item out, she had already taken out a pendant that broke the instant it was taken out, creating a force that reflected most of the blast away.

"What are you waiting for, moron! Attack again!"

The girl seemed to be in a lot of pain, but she remained smiling as she spoke. However, this smile was different.

It was a victorious smile.

Upon seeing Silva's expression, Emery quickly realized that the usage of this powerful spell created a second of opportunity for them. At this moment, the elf was panting, still in the middle of regaining his power.

Emery quickly channeled his spell once again, but before he could unleash it, the demon wolf already seized the chance. Before they knew it, Heorgar's spear had already pierced the elf from behind, and right after, his dark tentacles wrapped around the elf's whole body.

The magus elf writhed around in pain.
