Three versus One

"Do you think that we should resort to that lowly trick just to deal with a single degraded Ancient Spirit? Let's just wait for her to kill those pigs off, those useless things hadn't even managed to relay a piece of single information, they deserved to die!"

She sounded as if she was angry by their uselessness when in fact she just wanted to entertain herself by watching those useless things die in despair.

At this moment, the silent White suddenly interjected between their conversation and piously said.

"What are you girls saying? Killing is a grave sin, those are the precious lives granted by the Almighty God and we can't let her damage the sacred bodies of the Benevolent God."

At this moment, one might subconsciously think that she's an angel sent from the heavens, one might have the urge the kneel before her feet as she sounded extremely merciful like a pure and compassionate angel.

But at the next moment, the 'kind angel' continued.

"Let's preserve the sacred bodies and let her remove those filthy and impure souls out, a disgusting soul occupying the sacred creation of God is extremely unfitting, the bodies should remain pure and free of impurities."

White said these appalling words in a sympathetic and caring tone but one would only feel coldness deep inside them because her words were akin to the words of the devil.

Her red eyes shone with a fanatical glint like a crazed devout believer, she had a pleased expression on her face as if what she had suggested earlier would grant her merit and salvation from her God.

If someone were to hear these girls' terrifying remarks, they might've peed their pants and pass out with frothing mouths due to fear.

***

Undine valiantly fought every enemy she encountered with her crystal blue long sword, her sword looked extremely bloody and shone with a red sharp light.

Water Splicing Hands!

Raging Crescent Wave!

She instantly used spells after spells towards her enemies, either slapping her enemies with her water-enhanced hands or cutting their bodies into two with her weapon.

She was extremely heroic and charismatic while fighting her enemies on the way, her clean blue battle dress fluttered vigorously as she fought.

After the last sound of a miserable dying shriek sounded, Undine fiercely glared towards the cave entrance where she could see 3 gorgeous girls calmly standing while watching her actions with interest.

The 3 girls wore the same blood-red robes and yet each of them exuded different types of charm, one mischievous, the other had a holy bearing, while the other had a calming and refreshing aura.

But at this moment, Undine only felt pressure from these girls because of their dangerously bright red eyes.

The confrontation between them was about to commence, and no one knows who would emerge victorious among them.

Undine courageously stepped out of the cave entrance and calmly stared at the three girls as she carefully scrutinized each of their actions.

The three girls had also retreated to give distance between them and Undine.

At this moment, the blonde little girl opened her mouth and said with a graceful smile while fondly stroking the head of the rabbit in her arms.

"For a degenerated Ancient Spirit, I could say that you're quite impressive, able to wipe those useless scouts in a short amount of time."

Undine was surprised to hear a compliment from her but she didn't felt good about it at all, she took a deep breath and calmly said.

"I'm flattered. I am also impressed that your organization managed to find this humble abode of mine, I presume that your organization also has the location of the other three Ancient Spirits of my Spirit Race?"

Yellow smiled at her question, her expression unchanging.

Then all of them heard Green fiercely shouting towards Undine.

"Stop talking crap and let's play instead!"

Green wore a mad smile on her face, she swiftly dashed towards Undine while she held two beautiful and exquisite daggers in her hands.

She held the weapons in a skillful yet playful manner, her speed was extremely fast and she was just about a few meters away from Undine when her lithe figure suddenly turned blurry.

In the next instant, Green appeared behind Undine, her dagger was about to pierce the back of Undine.

Undine's ocean blue eyes constricted but she did not move to defend herself, it was as if she wanted for the dagger to pierce her.

Seeing Undine standing still like a shocked rabbit, Green was disappointed but nevertheless, she viciously smiled as if victory was in her hands.

Her dagger touched the battle dress of Undine and the supposed sound of tearing flesh and fabrics did not come, their impact produced a resounding clang instead.

Her hands were pushed out, her hands slightly trembling from the impact, she was shocked and looked towards the area where she had stabbed.

As expected, she did not see a hole in that particular area, she only saw a small white stain instead.

Green silently thought to herself in shock while her lithe figure rapidly retreated towards the tall dark woods.

'What a tough dress! As expected of an Ancient Spirit!'

Before Undine could launch a counterattack she saw her decisively retreat instead, she sighed in pity but chose to not pursue her as she was also cautious towards the remaining two.

Undine held her longsword tightly and maintained a firm defensive stance, her defense looked impeccable without flaws.

Yellow silently stared at Undine before sardonically laughing towards her.

"As expected from one of the strongest spirits. But I wonder if you would be able to handle the three of us with just you alone?"

A large magic circle appeared beneath her feet after saying those words, her rabbit was sitting on her petite shoulder while her hands rapidly made unknown hand seals in the air, words after words of unknown language repeatedly came out of her mouth.

Undine felt a huge threat from the spell that the blonde little girl was casting and decided to herself to not let the girl succeed.

She decisively abandoned her defensive stance and charged forward, her primary target being the blonde spell caster.

Yellow wasn't an idiot, she did not have any plans on attacking Undine's perfect defense head-on.

She instantly used a strong penetrative spell, she hoped for Undine to stand still and wait for her to finish but she was disappointed as Undine was decisive in her actions.

This just shows that she was extremely experienced when it comes to things related to battling.

In the blink of an eye, Undine was now extremely close to Yellow, her crystal blue longsword shone with a brilliant blue light, she stopped on her tracks and cried out.

"Eat this!"

Water Beam (Sword-Style)!

A blue beam of light came out from the tip of Undine's longsword, it came out with a sharp and dangerous momentum, appearing extremely threatening.

Water Beam was a mid to long-range spell, this was further modified to suit the Battle Mage class of Undine.

Before this spell would've only appeared as a bright water beam but now that it was modified by Undine, it came out as an extremely sharp-pointed sword that rapidly flew towards Yellow.

The blue sword beam was extremely fast and was about to penetrate Yellow when a thin film-like barrier appeared on Yellow's skin that deflected the sword away.

Her spell was rendered useless while the thin barrier rippled and immediately broke, she saw this and fiercely glared at the ever silent White at the back.

She silently grumbled to herself.

'Tsk. What a pesky guardian.'

She examined her surroundings for a moment before saying in a cold voice.

"Great! What a great dirty battle formation you have there!"

The girls had heard her clearly but chose to remain silent while focusing their attention on their tasks instead.

Yellow was assigned to be their main damage dealer and White would be the healer, while Green would be the lingering and silent assassin that would make their enemy feel her constant hidden threat.

Truly a dirty yet effective formation.

Undine saw them being silent, she was quite angry but chose not to say anything and closed her eyes instead.

Her graceful figure slightly dimmed, her wavy blue hair gently swayed in the air like a calm ocean.

At this moment, Undine looked extremely mesmerizing like that of an enchanting lake, she's beautiful and mystifying at the same time.

Undine's body slowly morphed and became watery, as if her body had become a body of water itself.

Yellow saw her slowly transforming and immediately looked at White, she silently conveyed her message with an anxious face.

"Stop her!"

She had not said this with her mouth but through her eyes, she just gave her a fleeting glance and White had understood, Yellow could not afford to interrupt her spell.

She could also not afford to let Undine successfully use her racial talent, she would only be much harder to deal with if that happened.

Yellow was just a step away from finishing her spell, the mana energies around her surged with turbulence.

She focused all of her attention on her spell, after all, she would suffer a spell backlash if she failed to activate it, she could also do nothing to accelerate it as it would only give her higher difficulty in controlling the mana around her.
