Chapter 86: Something is Wrong with Serie
Everyone temporarily stayed in this elf village.
Fortunately, news of the Skywing Clan attacking the Dwarf Ancestral Land and Serie had not yet spread; otherwise, given Olivia's identity, she would have been driven away long ago.
After all, the entire Dwarf Ruins had vanished entirely from the world, leaving only a massive crater visible from miles away.
Anyone with eyes could see that only a God Strike could cause such destruction.
During this time, Kurtz did not forget to ask the elves here for news from the front lines.
The situation on the front lines was terrible.
At first, the Demon Clan's offensive weakened considerably, so even after the Skywing Clan's army left, the combined armies of the elves and dwarves alone could still resist them.
But suddenly, the Demon Clan's offensive became more intense.
Now, the entire front-line battlefield was in bad shape. The front lines kept retreating with more deaths.
Everyone on the front lines was looking forward to the return of their ally, the Skywing Clan's army.
Unfortunately for them, this wait was destined to be in vain.
The Skywing Race that lived on this continent for thousands of years had vanished, leaving only a few alone and dying.
The Demon Clan split their forces into two routes: one to tie down the allied forces on the main battlefield, and the other to sneak attack the remaining Skywing Clan army.
Now that the Demon Clan army had returned to the battlefield, it naturally caused more pressure on the front lines.
Kurtz had no good solution for this either.
Only when Orger was fully charged with energy again, and he could unleash a light cannon on the Demon Clan army on the battlefield, would there be a chance to turn the tide.
During the days of healing in the elf village, Kurtz and Serie also jointly studied the healing magic from the holy scripture.
"The composition of this healing magic is very special," Kurtz said, pointing to the complex runes on the page, "It requires dividing the magic power into three strands, and condensing them in different ways."
Serie leaned in to examine it, very close. She suddenly realised this and took half a step back: "Hmm, I'll give it a try."
Kurtz looked at little master, who had suddenly retreated, with some confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you standing so far away? Can you see my magic power flow?"
In the past, when the two of them studied magic, they always stayed very close, as only then could they observe each other's magic power flow more clearly.
Serie was now deliberately keeping a distance from him.
"I can see it!" Serie turned her face away, avoiding Kurtz's gaze.
Seeing this, Kurtz shifted his position and actively moved closer to the elf girl.
Serie retreated again, moving nervously.
Kurtz continued to follow.
Only when Serie retreated to the tree root, with no more space to retreat, did she finally stop moving back. Her back pressed against the tree.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly so distant?"
Kurtz was utterly puzzled.
The little master who used to let him into her tent and even let him sleep while holding her, why was she now not even getting close to him?
Had he done something to upset her?
No, he hadn't!
"Not distant! I just… just…"
Serie couldn't find the words.
She felt that the magic power aura on this man was too chaotic, making her uncomfortable.
Yes, that's definitely the reason. After convincing herself with this reason, Serie explained: "Haven't you noticed how much chaotic magic power you have on you?"
"Uh, I really haven't noticed that."
For Kurtz, no matter what kind of magic power, as long as it was usable, it was good magic power.
So, when he used the holy sword Orger, he completely bypassed any purification methods, forcefully injecting Orger's magic power into his body in a very crude way.
The magic power flow within his body was indeed very chaotic now, with different energies mixed in his body.
It hadn't reached the point of mana disruption, but he clearly needed some time to adapt.
"It's best if you avoid using magic for now. Wait until the magic power in your body calms down before using magic again."
"Alright! Then I'll trouble Madam Serie to protect this humble one during this time."
Hearing this human say so, Serie's lips curled slightly: "Of course!"
At this moment, Serie suddenly felt an annoying aura approach them.
Olivia walked over with freshly picked herbs, kneeling before him: "Master Kurtz, these are the MoonDew Grass and Star Flowers you requested. They are both herbs that can help one quickly restore magic power."
Serie's jaw clenched, hearing her address Kurtz like that.
"Thank you," Kurtz took the herbs, "But didn't I tell you to call me by my name? And next time, don't kneel."
Olivia immediately said: "I apologise, Master Kurtz… I'm used to doing this."
Now that her faith had shifted, she naturally had to treat Kurtz in the same way she treated a goddess.
Her Lord God seemed not to require her service.
This made Olivia a little confused.
She was clearly doing very ordinary things, so why was master Kurtz so against it?
"Don't do this next time, okay? There's no reason for companions to kneel at every turn!"
"I understand." Olivia nodded heavily, committing her Lord God's instruction to memory.
"Kurtz, are you studying the magic from the original text? I can personally teach you."
"Hmm… you've also read the original text?"
"No, but the holy scripture I deciphered was derived from the original text."
Watching their interaction, Serie felt angry: "Hey, we're still studying magic! Don't you see we're busy?"
Kurtz looked at Serie with a shocked expression.
Why does that sound so strange coming from your mouth?
"I am very sorry, Miss Serie."
"Alright, alright, Olivia, you can retreat for now!" Kurtz quickly returned to the original text, "Let's continue."
"Mhm."
In the following days of study, Serie was somewhat distracted.
Whenever Olivia approached, her attitude would become very hostile; she never showed a hint of a pleasant expression.
"Serie," Kurtz finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you have some issue with Olivia? Aren't you two acquainted?"
"Why should I have good feelings for her?" Serie snorted, "She used a God Strike on us! Kurtz, did you forget everything so quickly?"
"No! It's not that I didn't forget anything; besides, haven't they, the Skywing Clan, already paid the price?"
"Their paying the price doesn't mean I can forgive them; those are two separate matters."
"Uh, um, sigh, well, it's true."
Kurtz had no intention of forcing Serie to forgive Olivia; during their future adventures, her attitude towards Olivia might change.
Seeing this, Olivia slowly spoke: "Miss Serie, I am very sorry for what happened before. As long as you can forgive me, I will agree to any request."
All of this was indeed their Skywing Clan's fault, and Olivia had no intention of denying it. She felt guilty.
If they hadn't carried out the command of that false goddess back then, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
The Demon Clan's sneak attack would not have completely wiped out a Skywing Clan army at its peak; they might even have counterattacked.
