"What's wrong?" cerlina asked as she watched Daniel descend back in wrath.

"There is a madman who dares to ruffle my territory" said Daniel ketus. "The black fire covered the forest."

"Black fire said you? Take me there!" cerlina pinta. "It's not an ordinary black fire."

"...quite quickly, we have little time" Daniel replied as he ran as fast as he could, but Cerlina clasped his hands and moved them as fast as lightning in front of Daniel's house. The assembled minotaurs tried hard to put out the fire, but to no avail.

"God Oorun, give me strength" Cerlina murmured as she raised her staff as high as possible. The soft light slowly shone down on the entire area of the forest and extinguished the black flames quickly.

"Why are there witches here?" he said someone while jumping down with a hood covering his entire face. "...huh?"

"Who are you?" daniel asked as he took out an ordinary axe from the sheath.

"Hm, bother," he lamented without caring about Daniel's question, his eyes fixed on Cerlina who had a flat expression.

"Hey, are you deaf?" ask Daniel again.

"No, there's just no interest in you" he replied, flicking his finger and making Daniel bounce away. "Well, now what am I supposed to do with this witch?"

"You're Vatra's army?" ask Cerlina.

"The bingo! Turns out you're smart, too, though I must admit you're weak," he replied cheerfully.

"Isn't the weaker the opponent, the easier it is for you to kill?" cerlina asked with a thin smile that looked cynical. "Ah, you can take off the hood, elf."

"...wah, it turns out to be discovered," he said while encasing his hood and showing off the long ears typical of elves.

"Tracking where is my ability" Cerlina said. "Well, can you go and stop ruining the territory here?"

"I can be killed by Mr. Vatra if I just leave. At least destroying this territory was enough," the elf replied.

"Then I am your opponent" said Cerlina, raising her staff and making a shield covering the entire minotaur.

"You're making this so I don't run away?"

"No, just make sure no one messes up from the outside" Cerlina replied. The elf laughed loudly and directly lunged with the knife in hand, successfully injuring Cerlina's upper arm deep enough.

"Huh, I thought you were the same as your twin, it turned out that the level was far away," the elf sneer. Cerlina just silently looked at the blood flowing quietly, then turned to the elf.

"Indeed you ever fought my brother?" ask Cerlina.

"Not yet, just looking at it from far away. But I think it's exciting to fight it, too" replied the elf. Cerlina giggled, making the elf feel slighted. "What do you mean laugh like that?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. After all, looking at your level I don't think my brother would want to make you his opponent. You're too weak" Cerlina said.

"Weak you say? Don't joke with me, goddamn it!" maki the elf while attacking quickly and brutally. Cerlina rushed back and dodged all the attacks, although some managed to hit her body until her clothes were torn apart.

"Here you are, you brat! The young priest who just sold himself out doesn't deserve to ridicule me!" maki the elf.

"When did I sell myself? Roughly," Cerlina complained as she blurred the view of the elves with snowflowers.

"Kh! My eyes!"

"Strue?" ask Cerlina while splashing water from a nearby barrel. The elf's body was wet, yet it did not dampen the elves' emotions to attack.

"I killed you!"

"Yes, huf. This kid, you've never been hurt, have you? I'll make you bleed until death picks you up," threatened the elf with a deadly look, even though his eyes were red from the ice flower that Cerlina threw.

"No way!" cerlina knocked on the ground with the tip of a stick and hundreds of knives from the ice popped out of the ground, trying to stab the elf. But the elf's reaction was faster than Cerlina's attack, so she managed to escape and stand on a branch of a nearby tree.

"Es? So you're the ice wizard type?" ask the elf.

"Maybe. I'm just using this magic for the first time" Cerlina replied casually. He threw his wand and turned it into a shiny silver arrow with ice flowers enveloping his skeleton.

"Heh, shit. You're good at drama, huh?" elf insinuation.

"Hmm maybe?" reply Cerlina doubtful. Daniel rushes forward and attacks the elves from behind, but his instincts save and he manages to dodge before his axe cuts off the neck. He kicked Daniel again and came down with veins filling his neck.

"Fuck up! You guys are really looking to die, huh!?" maki elf's.

"And who started you first, why get angry?" asked Cerlina while tilting her head. The elves were getting annoyed and summoned a fairies spirit in a number that was not small, there were about 100 fairies gathered there with various types.

"Strike him!" he pointed to Daniel and Cerlina. The spirits attack with a variety of abilities, ranging from controlling plants, exhaling fire, making hurricanes and even controlling animals around. Before Cerlina fired the arrow, Daniel stood in front of her and swung his axe with full force until the spirits were swept away by the wind.

"Wow," said Cerlina in amazement.

"It's not over yet, boy. Quickly do something," said Daniel while resisting the attacks of the animals that managed to escape. Cerlina gasped and instantly pulled her bow, firing a shot towards the elves. Before the elf condensed its attack, the arrow exploded and hundreds of sharp icicles injured the elf.

"Ughhh!"

"Hey, behind!" sahut Daniel's. Cerlina turned around and bounced away due to someone's kick from behind.

"Daddy's favorite son is different, right? Ah, the irinya," she chanted as she pulled the hood and showed off her flat face.

"Master Vatra!" sahut the elf.

"Damn it, why is he. It's here, uhuk!" cerlina murmured in her cough. Vatra glanced towards Cerlina with a cold look.

"Ah, I happen to want to check the work of my men, it turns out there are insects that have the courage to mess up," replied Vatra.

'Crazy, the distance is far, how can he hear the sound...'

"You forgot I'm half god?" cut Vatra while grinning. Daniel was surprised to hear that.

"Half gods? You kidding?"

"No," Vatra replied as he blew up Daniel just by squeezing his hand. Blood instantly splashed, even hitting the elves.

"Oh no," whispered Cerlina as she held back tears in her eyes. "Oh no, no!"

Vatra instantly teleported right in front of Cerlina and pulled her roughly, showing off his bloodied hands.

"You're a long way from beating me, boy. Whoa, whoa, are you scared?" vatra Syndir. Cerlina was goosebumps, her body was trembling and cold sweat was drenching her body.

"Heh, it's not bad to see you like this. If Dad gave you your head, how would he react?" chirp Vatra while pulling out the sword from behind the sheath and pointing the tip right at Cerlina's neck. "There's a last word, boy?"

"Khh!"

"Then, see you in hell, dear son of Father," he said as he swung his sword.
