Eyes gleaming with ambition, the Corrupted focused their attention on Aurora, the Elf Queen.

They had two options. The first option was to kill her with their volley, while the other was to make her fall on the defensive. The Corrupteds definitely preferred the former, but the latter wasn't a bad alternative either.

'That way, she won't be causing any damage on the battlefield and to our troops.'

The Nether Beasts were the major members of the army when it came to brute force and numbers. The Corrupted were simply there for guidance and coordinated assault. If they lost their muscle, that would be too bad.

"I'm gonna kill that bitch. If I do… the Seat!" A certain Corrupted grinned with desperate determination and pride.

His name was Kayers, and he was simply brimming with ambition.

He and his allies were inside a dome made by Nether, all hundred of them, causing the Elf Queen to turn her attention to their troops. They had already lost two hundred thanks to the Elf Queen's first attack, so they didn't plan on losing any more.

Since they were protected by their overpowered ability, they could send some devastating attacks to the Queen.

That was their rationale. However—

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

An explosion suddenly rang behind the hundred Corrupteds.

"W-wha—?!"

It seemed like the eruption came from beneath, and as it did, debris flew off the earth. No one was killed, but the damage was extensive. Plus, the Corrupted became distracted from their main task.

After the blast, three beings suddenly emerged from the hole the explosion came out of. As they ascended, their forms became much clearer.

Two humans. One Elf.

"Haaa, that was a loud blast, Jerry. Not that I couldn't pull off the same!" A loud voice pierced the air.

"Haha, thanks… I guess." A gentler tone emerged next.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoᴠelFɪre.net

"Young lads, you have done well. It was indeed Impressive." An older-sounding tone emerged as well.

The two youths were humans, individually covered in their respective elements—one had white flames while the other had white wax. The older fellow was an Elf dressed in white. He barely had any armour or element on.

He simply donned an astounding white suit, as well as a matching white coat. His expression was prim and proper, and his gaze calmly rested on the hundred Corrupteds who now glared at the intruders.

"Old man, how strong are they?" The wax warrior asked the older Elf.

"He has a name, you know? It's Derius."

"Ah, yeah…"

Kayers watched as these three made a stable entry into their stronghold—his face twisting with both shock and anxiety.

'T-they bypassed our dome by moving underground?!'

They had been so focused on protecting themselves from the Elf Queen's aerial attacks that they had neglected to defend the area beneath them. It was indeed a cause for worry. However…

'They sent just three? Really?'

Two of the three were kids. Kids who had shown talent when fighting the Nether Beasts, but kids nonetheless.

'Fools.' Kayers grinned to himself.

He looked around, and it seemed his comrades felt the same way.

'Our Nether barrier is still active—and it functions independently from any other attacks we use.' That was why they were planning to defeat the Elf Queen while remaining in their haven.

'That will have to wait, though. For now, let's get this over with. Hehe.'

Kayers glanced at his comrades, and once again, they agreed on this issue. There was no need to waste any time conversing. All they had to do… was win!

>VWUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!!!<

Before Kayers could think any further, the redhead among the trio punched the earth with his fists and all of a sudden, it shook. The quake destabilized all of them, though a lot of them instantly took to the sky.

"I've got the ones below. Take those in the sky."

Jerry nodded, bursting into more flames as he ascended to take care of the floating Corrupteds. Kayers was one of the flyers, but he made sure to maintain a stealth Spell the moment he did so. He had been caught off-guard by the opponent, and he refused to fight blindly.

'I'll need to be subtle about this. Observe, then attack!'

"UARRRGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"IT BUUURRRNNNNSSSSS!!!"

"GAAAHHH, SAVE ME! SAVEEE MEEEEEE!!!!"

Hearing the agonizing screams of his brethren beneath him, Kayers realized what was going on.

'Is that… Lava?!' His mind echoed.

Underneath him—flooding the Corrupteds on the ground—was a mix of white and crimson. It seemed like wax, yet the fiery elements, as well as the extreme heat it emitted, proved it to be more.

Even from his position above, Kayers could feel the heat.

'Just how many degrees?!' He thought to himself, watching as his comrades got drowned in an ocean of heated wax. Before long, it hardened, completely burying them in an utterly suspended state.

'SHIT!' Kayers thought to himself. 'That redhead… he's not all talk!'

The wild youth was grinning, smiling at the older fellow beside him. They were being so carefree on the battlefield, and it pissed him off.

>BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!'<

Suddenly, even around him, he could hear multiple explosions. Stifled screams of his comrades pierced the air as they were each consumed by white fire.

Their opponent was too fast. In white streaks, he navigated his way through the air. He used the flames generated from his feet and hands as propellers, easily dodging the spells the Corrupteds threw at him.

In a flash, he dispatched one, then two, then five… and it went on forever.

Kayers was gritting his teeth in frustration at this point. Why were his comrades dropping like flies? Why couldn't they handle a single kid? Besides…

~YOU IDIOTS! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE ONES BELOW ARE DISTRACTED? KILL THEM FIRST!~ Kayers sent a message to the minds of all his comrades.

Once he said this, their eyes bulged, and their focus shifted from the man in flames to the two people who were discussing beneath the ensuing chaos.

'Hehe! First, we'll kill those two, and then—'

Nothing was going to stop him from gaining his prize. He had successfully reduced his competitors among the Corrupteds, but now? Now was the time to get serious.

'We'll kill you all! We'll kill you all!!!

Kayers watched his comrades descend upon the old Elf and the other youth—mostly focusing on the older Elf, considering the young fellow had just drowned a good number of them, and they were all targeting the weakest link.

Unfortunately for them, they couldn't have been more wrong.
