301 The Elf Princess’s Nightmare (2)

Elwha was running desperately through the streets of Academy City.

She was running as quickly as she could, trying to find a place where to hide or someone that could help her; however, she could find neither.

For some reason, she could not see a single shadow nearby besides the people chasing her. And even when she tried to hide, she was quickly found.

In the end, the elf princess could only bite her lips and continue running.

'… Dammit, how did they discover me?'

Elwha could not understand how. She had been very careful all the time, but for some reason, they managed to locate her.

After the Goddess of Fate helped her to escape, Elwha decided to follow her advice and find Bloed. She did not know why the goddess told her to find him, but she did not think the goddess was planning to harm her.

Thus, she decided to come to Academy City. She had heard that Bloed was planning to come to Academy City as well, so she thought she could find him there.

The first thing she did was to disguise herself. She did not have the tools to change her hair or eyes, hence, she could only disguise her face. However, although white hair and silver eyes were uncommon among elves, there were not completely unseen. That should not be enough to give away her identity.

Fortunately, Academy City was not very far from the place where she landed, so she arrived at the city after one week.

After Elwha entered the city, she started to search for Bloed. She did not know where to find him, so she tried to rely on their connection to locate him. However, after one week without finding him, Elwha started to turn anxious.

That was when things took a turn for the worse.

Due to her anxiousness, Elwha tried to contact the elves. She went towards the Elven club and left a stealthy message about her situation.

She did not reveal her identity, nor she gave away any information that could link her to her true identity, so she believed there would not be any problem… Or so she thought.

That same night, she was attacked by a group of masked men.

Fortunately, Elwha's soul was stronger than normal, so she managed to detect the attackers beforehand. Plus, the masked men did not dare to cause too much of a commotion in Academy City. making her situation easier.

It was a fierce battle, but Elwha managed to escape in the end.

However, she lost almost all of her belongings after that.

Afterward, it was a constant run and chase between her and her enemies.

Even now, she did not know the identities of the enemies. She only knew that they repeatedly found her and chased after her.

Due to that, Elwha had not slept or eaten well in the last two days.

Today, however, the situation worsened even more.

Normally, she would be chased for a brief while before the enemies left in fear of being caught by Academy City's security.

But today was different.

For some reason, the masked men had been chasing after her for one hour already. Moreover, she could not see anyone else no matter how much she ran.

She felt as though she was trapped and her enemies were slowly cornering her little by little.

'Am I going to die here?'

Elwha bit her lips. Despair started to fill her mind, and her hatred towards her enemies grew even more.

She hated the people that chased after her, she hated the demigod that betrayed them and caused the death of four proud elven demigods; and she also hated the person that revealed that she was in the city.

She did not want to admit it, but she was almost one hundred percent sure that it was an elf of the club.

After jumping over a wall, Elwha panted heavily. Her body was already very tired, and the lack of food was making it hard to continue running.

In fact, she could feel that her mana was starting to falter. She probably could not endure for much longer.

However, she was not planning to give up yet.

She just needed to run a bit more. She needed to run and find someone, anyone, and ask for help.

But her hopes were dashed at the next instant.

"We finally caught you, little elf."

A bulky man appeared in front of her.

Elwha's expression changed. She hurriedly tried to rush in a different direction, but to her surprise, each direction was blocked by someone.

She was completely surrounded!

"It looks like you can't run anymore, huh." The bulky man smirked with a wicked expression.

"You… How do you dare to do thin in Academy City!? Are you not afraid of being discovered!?"

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that, little elf. Our master asked for help from a few people for today, you see. Currently, you are inside a formation. Nobody will break through it and you won't be able to escape it either. Now…" Immediately, the bulky man's expression turned ice-cold. "Give us the heart!"

Elwha bit her lips in despair.

'It's over…'

In the end, she was unable to complete her mission.

However, she was not going to let the heart land in the hands of Slaughter.

"The heart is not with me, idiot." Elwha sneered.

"… What do you mean?"

"I knew this could happen, so I hid it," Elwha said with a desolate smile. "I hid it in a place you will never find."

The bulky man's face fell.

"… Well, it looks like I can only get that information from your mouth. Men! Catch her!"

"Hahaha! Good, it will be great if I can bring a few of you with me to hell!"

With tears in her eyes, Elwha got ready to detonate her mana. At the same time, the men around her charged towards her.

But at that moment, something happened.

All of a sudden, a rip appeared in the sky.

No, it was not in the sky. It was in the formation that covered the place.

Then, a blue-haired young man fell through it, landing in front of Elwha and looking around before heaving a sigh of relief.

"It seems like I arrived on time."

Elwha's face was filled with disbelief.

"… Mr. Bloed!"
