Under the Orida Fortress
Mordena thought Eugene was scared again. Upset, he answered himself. âHumans are the biggest enemy of my race. Ferde has stolen the Isle of Dawnâs various resources multiple times. My race will never soften against enemies like you.â
He couldnât weaken at all in a stalemate. Mordena knew this. Thus, his tone was adamant.
âYouâve done well.â While speaking, the face on the wall smiled. But the moment it finished speaking, the smile disappeared. The face turned cold. âLetâs see if you can bear the consequences!â
The next moment, Eugene cried, âPrince, be careful!â
Before she could finish, a figure appeared beside Prince Mordena. It looked like Link, who had been speaking from the fortress wall. But now, his face was as white as frost, and his sword gleamed. He was less than three feet from Mordena.
Everything had happened too quickly; they could barely even react. The surrounding High Elves gaped, unable to believe it.
They couldnât understand how the Ferde lord had crept into the heart of the army. Were all 200,000 soldiers blind? Even if they couldnât see him, could they not hear or smell him? Werenât demons the most sensitive to foreign auras?
This was incredible.
Molina reacted somewhat quickly, but she still needed time to cast a divine spell. Faced with Linkâs incoming sword, she couldnât reach it in time.
Eugene was the only one who understood. Link had used the other spell to distract everyone while his true self snuck into the army to get close. This was nothing to a spatial expert like Link.
Eugene could have stopped Link, but sheâd just experienced magic backlash. Her power hadnât recovered fully. Link must be taking advantage of this chance for the risk.
Plus, she was a Magician. Faced with a swordsman that was faster than Assassins, she couldnât do anything even if she processed things.
Because of all these reasons, she could only watch.
This guy is so tricky. Heâd planned this all, and each step is filled with fatality... Mordena is dead this time!
From interrupting her spell-casting and making her temporarily lose power from the backlash to immediately using a hallucination to distract everyone while sneaking into the army, Eugene had figured out all these details. That was why she was terrified.
She was decisive. As soon as she realized she couldnât do anything, she retreated and cast a powerful defense spell in case Link attacked her.
Prince Mordena reacted quite quickly too. Heâd been a Magician in his youth and was a wandering vigilante too. He had trained in battle techniques before. Now, he retreated while white transmission light flashed. He wanted to move away from Link.
Right now, Link was in the Army of Destruction. If he won a few seconds for himself, Link would be submerged in attacks. Then the sneak attack would be an idiotic joke.
However, no one in Firuman could use a spatial spell to escape from Link because he was the most powerful spatial Magician here!
When the light flashed, Mordena completed the transmission and disappeared. However, he didnât see that Linkâs sword had disappeared too. An instant later, Mordena re-appeared hundreds of feet away. He walked hurriedly and turned towards Link. Then he stopped.
It wasnât that he wanted to stop; he was forced to. Boundless darkness surged like a tide, swallowing him.
Other people only saw a thin red line appear on his neck. Then blood spurted out, and his head rolled off his neck.
Blood sprayed from his headless body.
Link remained in the distance. He didnât hurry back to the Orida Fortress or even move from his spot. All the High Elves were dazed. They didnât see how Link had acted at all. The prince that they revered couldnât block even one of the Ferde lordâs attacks.
Before, Eugene had said that Mordena would be killed instantly. They didnât expect that the prediction would become true.
Molinaâs eyes narrowed into slits, her heart shaking. She didnât dare to act.
Link looked over. All the Warriors under his gaze retreated instinctively. There wasnât a single being who dared to meet his eyes, let alone attack him.
Link huffed. Taking this rare chance, his sword flashed jarringly. With a squelch, Molinaâs head flew off too and rolled on the ground.
The two powerful figures of the Army of Destruction had been killed like dogs before the countless soldiers. It was unbelievable!
Eugeneâs heart jumped. Linkâs guts were incredible. Instead of leaving after killing someone, he decided to kill Molina too. Just incredible!
The battlefield was silent for another second. Then a voice finally rang out, âHeâs only one person. Kill him!â
It was Eugene.
With that, the masses were finally awakened from their shock and started attacking. In an instant, hundreds of attacks flew towards him, drowning him.
But they were useless.
âInstant Flash!â This was the transmission spell Link had created in the Aragu Realm. It was multiple times faster than regular ones and had barely any delay. Even in a Legendary-level fight, he didnât have to worry about the opponent finding a flaw.
After that, Link abruptly appeared hundreds of feet away. Because it was so fast, it seemed as if heâd teleported.
Of course, all the attacks missed.
Standing amongst the thousands of soldiers, Link looked through the crowd to the retreating Dark Elf Princess. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Unfortunately, there wasnât enough time. The opponents had already reacted and were attacking him. Otherwise, his third kill would have been the princess. It was alright though. Killing Mordena and Molina was enough.
He flashed again, using the Instant Flash. A few times later, Link was safely back in the Orida Fortress. Looking around, he saw surprised, respectful, and reverent eyes.
Link was used to this and didnât feel anything special. Looking at the Black Forest, he said indifferently, âThe Army of Destruction is going to retreat.â
Awooga. A bleak horn rang out from that direction. The Army of Destruction had indeed started retreating. Finally, they disappeared into the Black Forest.
Eugeneâs courage was completely gone. The entire army had been humiliated by Link and morale was at the lowest point. They couldnât fight anymore.
After retreating many miles into the Black Forest, Eugene climbed a hill. She gazed at the Orida Fortress, grinding his teeth. âYou won now but just wait. When the realms fuse, and there will be countless strong figures; you wonât be so arrogant for much longer!â
She was filled with hatred, but that couldnât hide the truth of how sheâd surrendered to Link.
