Kalliyan and Revalor had a back story, a positive past relationship as they fought together against the demon in the past. The King of the Elven Kingdom and the Guardian of the Gigante Forest.

Revalor looked up at the majestic figure who he had not seen ever since he came to the Earth. He did not know where Kalliyan was, so he did not put Kalliyan into the factor in his plan, “For the sake of our past relationship, can you let me go, Kalliyan?” That was his last resort. He did not think of making his way by defeating Kalliyan. Even in his prime condition, he did not think he could kill The Kirin.

“I will not kill you and your son for the sake of our past relationship, but I can’t let you go after what you have done, Revalor,” The Kirin will not let the former Elven King escape under her watch. If her Master found out that he let Revalor go after killing Virion, then she might be killed by her Master. Even if she was not killed, she would receive a heavy punishment.

His eyes were heavy as if he would pass out at any moment. His body was so relaxed, his muscles loosened up. It was hard to gather the power to move his body. He did not expect the poison to be so acute even for someone like him, “Then you are forcing my hand, Kalliyan. We will have to fight to the death because I will not give up so easily like this!”

The wind around Revalor went fiercer, but the wind weakened quickly as Revalor lost his focus. The wind kept him and his son afloat in the air. Kalliyan wasted no time and dove into Revalor. She broke the wind shield and caught the father and son with her paw, bringing them down to the ground. Revalor was powerless to resist as his eyes were half-open, trying so hard to keep his eyes open until his back hit the ground.

Arbane kept his eyes shut even though Kalliyan just brought him down from the air. The poison was that potent, and Revalor passed out after that. That was the product from the Alchemist Facility, the highest rank product, Slumbering Mist. Of course, the reason the poison got to Revalor was because of how much Slumber Mist Aleesa put into her five arrows. If it was just one dose, it might not be enough to put Revalor into slumber.

Aleesa immediately ran toward Kalliyan while pulling out the chain. The chain was for the prisoners, and it had the effect of draining the wearer’s mana and also attributes. That was the dwarf byproduct, one of many the dwarf had created for the Tang Empire aside from the normal equipment and the building.

After putting the chain on Arbane and Revalor, Aleesa looked up to the wall, “Man up! Keep your eyes on the enemy’s army. We still have enemies outside there!” The fight was short, but it was quite big as it destroyed part of the wall. She was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of that and snuck on them. They did not have time to mourn for the Elven King. Fortunately, the army did not move from their spot, and Aleesa went to meet Jasmine.

Jasmine retrieved Virion’s head and body, and Aleesa came over. Her heart dropped at the sight of her dead nephew. They just had a conversation not long ago, and she never expected that would be their last conversation. Tears flowed down her eyes as she slowly approached her nephew’s cold body. She had the urge to kill Arbane and Revalor, but she knew that would do nothing. Killing them could not bring back Virion’s life.

Jasmine came over, pulling the elf into her embrace. Aleesa cried on her shoulder as the others moved up to the wall as per her order, giving the two a space. Aleesa stopped crying, wiping out her tears, “I have to be strong for my people.” She was the only one that the elven army would listen to, so she could not let herself fall in her sorrow.

“Can you keep it from Ava, for the time being, Jasmine? I am afraid this is not the right time,” Aleesa was worried that Virion’s death might affect her sister’s pregnancy. Ava was in her eighth month of pregnancy, and she was carrying Tang Shaoyang’s firstborn. She did not want anything to happen to Ava.

Jasmine understood and nodded, “You have to tell her yourself.”

Aleesa took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind, calming herself. Then she opened the Communication System to report the situation at Paris’ border and Virion’s death. She must keep it secret from Ava for the time being, but she must tell Zhang Mengyao for sure.

After sending the report, she returned to the wall with Jasmine. Jasmine used her root to patch up the broken wall. Not as sturdy as before, but it did the job pretty well.

“I think they haven’t noticed me yet, so I will hide from them for a bow from her inventory and nocked the arrow. As she drew the string to the maximum stretch, her arrow turned invisible. That was surprise if they dare to come,” Kalliyan decided to hide from the army behind the wall. She might be the key for them to win if the battle broke out. 𝒐𝔳𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Aleesa made sure that the enemy was not getting closer. While the army did not come closer, she noticed a few of the beastmen came closer to the wall. They seemed to notice something happening inside the wall and came to scout. She did not hesitate to take the bow from her inventory and nocked the arrow. As she drew the string to the maximum stretch, her arrow turned invisible. That was one of her skills, Invisible Arrow. The best one to snipe while the enemy did not notice being aimed by an arrow, especially at night when the vision was limited.

She released the arrow, and before the first arrow hit the target, the second invisible arrow was already on the bow. There were twenty-two scouts coming closer, and she shot twenty-two arrows in ten seconds. All twenty-two invisible arrows hit all the targets, right on the head, “Keep your eyes open. They are sending the scout!” Aleesa called out to her people but none of them noticed the incoming scout.

Not long after she killed the scout, she received a reply from Zhang Mengyao. The latter expressed her sorrow, regret, and fury in the three lines message. The fury was reflected in the last part of the message, “Kill anyone in sight. We will let them know how feel about losing someone important to them!” That was a green light for Aleesa that she could attack the enemy. However, Aleesa had a doubt that Revalor worked together with their current enemy.

The enemy did not attack the wall when Revalor made a mess inside the wall. That was great timing for the attack, but they instead sent a group of scouts instead of attacking, investigating what happened inside the wall. She did not think that Revalor worked together with the World Government. They must investigate it further as that meant they had another enemy in the dark. Aleesa replied to the message with her suspicions about Revalor and who he worked together with. The reply came fast.

I will send Lu An to your side. I think he can get some information from Revalor and Arbane. We will bring justice for Virion’s death, and we will make sure whoever is behind this, they will pay the price a hundred times!

Aleesa closed the screen and nocked another arrow on her bow. She had a lot of anger inside her, and the army in front of her would be the right target to vent out her anger. Especially after she received the green light from the Supreme Commander. There was no need for her to hesitate anymore.

The arrow in her bow blazed in flame. That was an explosive arrow that would deal maximum damage to the enemy. She also used Invisible Arrow so the enemy would not notice the incoming arrow. The fire arrow would catch the enemy’s attention in the dark. She aimed the arrow up high and released it. She shot three blazing arrows consecutively, in three different directions.

The three blazing arrows reached the maximum height in the air before they slowly came down to the enemy army. The aim was perfect as the arrows would fall in the middle of the army. However, the arrow hit the invisible barrier above the army. The enemy prepared the defensive barrier for the surprise attack. The three blazing arrows exploded in the air as the barrier shook. The explosion caught the army off guard and they started to yell that they were under attack. The battle started with the initial attack from Aleesa. Aleesa tried a few more attacks with her arrows, but all the arrows failed to break the barrier.

The atmosphere tensed up as Aleesa expected the enemy would charge to the wall. However, the enemy did not take a single step out from where they were.

“Can you do something to the barrier?” Aleesa asked Jasmine. After a few tries, she gave up destroying the barrier. She did not want to use everything she had to destroy the barrier because her intention was to poke the enemy, killing a few of them or maybe scare them to retreat. The ideal situation was to let the enemy come for them instead of going out to attack.

“I don’t think so. It’s a waiting game now,” Jasmine shook her head. She did not think she could reach the enemy with her roots.

Aleesa was frustrated that she could not do anything. The anger was building up inside her after what just happened. The enemy was in formation again. They calmed down after realizing the arrow could not break the barrier. The night continued with a stalemate while Zhang Mengyao led The Beast Coven to Belgium. They might take the initiative if the enemy did not make a move until the main force arrived.

A few hours later, Lu An arrived on the wall. He appeared from the shadow, right next to Aleesa, “Where are Revalor and Arbane?” He did not bother with the greeting as he felt the same as Aleesa right now. Angry that they lost someone important before even the battle. Moreover, his brother would be disappointed that they lost Virion when he was not here. That was what made him angry the most, that he disappointed his brother. Whoever was behind Revalor must pay the price for what they had done.

“Follow me,” Aleesa wanted to know the culprit behind Revalor.

The building where Revalor and Arbane were not that far from the wall. They quickly arrived at the room where the father and son were locked up. Both still had not woken up from the Slumber Mist.

“Are they sleeping?” The anger was clear in his voice. He could not believe that both were sleeping after killing Virion.

“Ah, no. I put them to sleep with Slumber Mist. We can wake them up right away if you want to.”

“I see… Please leave me alone with them. I promise you to get the information from their mouth!” Lu An looked dead serious as he looked at Aleesa.

She wanted to say and listen to the interrogation, but she agreed to leave, “Alright. I will leave you alone with them.”
