"What a bad little brother, you didn't say you were going to carry me like this!" Vanessa said coquettishly.
"You didn't ask either. By the way, despite being tall, you're actually not heavy at all!" Asta said as he gave her a little lift; she was indeed very light!
"Big sister was never heavy!" Vanessa pouted slightly, then leaned into Asta's ear and said seductively, "Tonight, do you want big sister to leave the door unlocked for you?"
*Slap!* Asta gave Vanessa a hard smack and said seriously, "What time is it? You're still joking?"
"I'm not joking!" Perhaps because the smack hurt, tears actually appeared in Vanessa's beautiful eyes, making her look quite pitiable. Seeing this, Asta internally called her a vixen, but his pace did not slow down.
Meanwhile, Noelle and Vetto were still locked in a struggle. The magic power erupting from the two of them was so dazzling that everyone couldn't help but look!
"This sinful magic!!!" Vetto was pushed back continuously by the giant Sea Dragon. His feet had already carved a deep trench ten meters long.
"Charge!" Noelle exhausted all her magic power. The dragon's head let out a roar, and its mouth bit down on Vetto's left arm, directly launching Vetto off the ground!
"Ahhh!!!" Vetto shrieked, finally escaping from the dragon's mouth at the cost of his arm. The Sea Dragon continued without looking back, charging out of the temple and plunging straight through the barrier of the Underwater Temple!
"Is this... the Sea God? No, this is the sea goddess!" The underwater residents were stunned. They had never seen such amazing Water Magic. More importantly, it was in the shape of a dragon—how similar was this to the legendary Sea God?
"Long live the sea goddess!" After a brief moment of shock, the underwater residents began to cheer. In their eyes, Noelle had defeated the demon and saved them!
"What incredible power!" Gifso's eyes were practically glued to the broadcast screen.
"As expected of royalty, they really can surpass their limits so easily!" Yami's mouth curled up in satisfaction. However, what he didn't expect was that Noelle's offensive power was so formidable; she was a complete combat-type mage.
"The Water Magic has dissipated. Is the battle decided?" Vanessa asked hesitantly while leaning in Asta's arms.
"Probably not yet." Asta's gaze was cold. He could sense a sinful magic power rising!
"Noelle, you're truly amazing!" Magna and Luck supported each other as they came over to Noelle's side. Although they had been knocked unconscious briefly earlier—and most people would have given up fighting—as soon as Magna and Luck sensed the battle erupting on Noelle's side, they rushed over without hesitation.
"Didn't those two guys kick the bucket?" Gifso asked, dumbfounded.
"Who said they kicked the bucket? At most, they were knocked unconscious! But Magna and Luck are truly good lads. When we get back, I can be a little nicer to them!" Yami slapped the table happily.
"Are you guys okay!" Seeing that Magna and Luck had been beaten almost beyond recognition, Noelle quickly stepped forward.
"Of course we're fine, we're resounding men!" Magna grinned and gave Noelle a thumbs up.
"Men? Do two stinking rats like you deserve to be called men?" Suddenly, Vetto's sinister voice came from behind them.
"He wasn't blasted out?" Seeing Vetto suddenly appear, Noelle was so startled that her cowlick stood on end.
"Despair! Despair!! Despair!!! I will become my true self, my true self, my true self!" Vetto seemed to be having a nervous breakdown. His eyes bulged and were bloodshot. Images of the beautiful life of the Elf Tribe appeared in his mind again, all of which had been destroyed by the despicable methods of the humans before him!
He wanted revenge. He wanted humans to experience the despair he had once gone through!
"I am Vetto of Despair. All things in the world shall despair before me. Die!" Vetto roared, and his third eye opened. The steaming rage evaporated the scattered puddles of water around him. Vetto's life force seemed overextended; his hair and beard turned completely white, wrinkles appeared, and even his teeth became jagged like a shark's!
If the previous Vetto could still be considered human, the current Vetto was a complete demon. Just standing there was enough to terrify the faint-hearted!
"Mama, what is that monster!" A Little Girl from the Underwater Temple immediately lunged into her mother's arms.
"It's okay, it's okay. The sea goddess will deal with the demon!" The Little Girl's mother quickly comforted her.
"...Who would have thought that you, a piece of trash rejected even by your filthy race, could actually summon me. But since you have summoned me, then bear my wrath!" After Vetto finished his malicious speech, he immediately cast a healing spell on himself: "Beast Magic: Noitaneragen!"
The name of the final spell was spoken in the Elven language. This move could quickly recover bodily injuries, even regenerating severed limbs. Vetto's left arm, which had been bitten off by the Sea Dragon, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"What's going on, it's so scary!" Noelle was completely terrified by Vetto's appearance.
"Run! Noelle, go find Asta, we'll stop him!" Magna and Luck stood resolutely in front of Noelle.
"Are you trying to act like men? I'm so sorry I didn't stomp you to death just now!" As Vetto spoke, he lunged forward and arrived in front of Magna and Luck. He grabbed each of their heads with one hand and sneered, "Stinking rats actually wanting to be men, you're making me die of laughter!"
After Vetto finished speaking, he slammed their heads heavily onto the cold rock. Blood immediately spurted from their heads.
"Ugh! Ahhh!!!" Magna was hit so hard he almost went into shock, his brain feeling like it was exploding with pain. Luck's injuries beside him were no less severe. For an ordinary mage, even a Vice-Captain level, suffering such a heavy blow would mean certain death!
"Still acting tough now?" Vetto looked at the spiderweb-like impact cracks bursting across the ground and smiled, satisfied with his destructive power.
"Unforgivable! How dare you hurt my comrades like this!" Noelle's brows furrowed in anger again. She was no longer afraid, but her magic power had been completely drained just a moment ago, and she was now utterly powerless to resist!
