'Huh? Someone came and shouted without fear of being noticed by others? She sure is brave.' Elysia commented when she heard a girl shouting out of nowhere. The girl exclaimed something about this lake.
'Looks like the voice came from the sky, Lil Ely. She's coming from above, maybe.' Elena also commented while looking for the source of the voice.
After that, two human figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the edge of the lake not far from them. The person who had just arrived was a cold-faced man with jet black hair clad in an all-black robe, and a beautiful girl with black hair in a black robe with a few white accents.
In just one glance, they were so recognizable to Elysia. She didn't even need to use her ability to see their status screen to realize their true identity.
Devil Emperor and his daughter whom she met accidentally in this forest last week! They were exactly the same person, but only the eye color, hair color, and clothes were different.
Elysia wondered what they were doing here, then she tried to look at the two people's status to verify. It turned out that they were the same people as she thought, Dylan Transcendent and Sylvia Transcendent.
'What are they doing here? Ah, they're talking about being human and not a devil. Disguises and infiltrations? Hmm...'
'Lil Ely! You are out of invisible magic while you are playing water! You will be seen by them! Ah, too late... They've seen you now...' Elena was a little late in reminding Elysia. If it was a real human, it would be fine and easy to handle. However, who actually came were two remarkable and distinguished devils!
'Ah, bad!' Elysia was a little nervous as she thought of a way to escape the precariousness of this moment. She immediately stood up and put on her slipper. She was now Elysia, an ordinary human to them, and they were devils who disliked humans.
"Good evening, what..." Elysia was about to open the conversation, but she had not had time to finish her sentence. Devil Emperor immediately dashed to attack right away!
"Father!" Sylvia shouted at her father's hasty action, he immediately attacked without waiting any other seconds!
Unlike the situation when she first met a group of humans in this forest who immediately attacked her without further ado, she only gave a counterattack for self-protection. This time, her father was the one who immediately attacked without waiting for this human girl to finish speaking.
Dylan did not care about his daughter's shout. What was on his mind right now was to silence this human girl forever. The dead would not leak any secrets. This human girl had overheard the conversation between his daughter and himself about their disguise as humans.
Elysia's eyes widened slightly due to this sudden attack. Still, she had expected it, given the hostility between humans and devils. However, wasn't this murderous aura a bit too heavy? Was he about to kill her? Yes! The Devil Emperor intended to kill her!
'Lil Ely, get away quickly!'
Elysia's eyes immediately refocused. She immediately dodged with incredible speed to the side as far as one meter from her original position, right before the Devil Emperor's fist collided with her head.
*Bwosh!*
Dylan's fist hit the empty air and made a slight ripple of air from his fist, which missed its target. He was so surprised to find the human girl was already one meter beside him. He was very sure he was not attacking in the wrong direction, or his vision was obscured by any illusions.
Elysia became so cold, this man was about to kill her without reason, but her eyes still had clarity. Even though she was quite afraid because her opponent was the Devil Emperor, she wouldn't give up without striking back!
Dylan didn't wait for anything else. He immediately made a follow-up attack with his fist towards the human girl. As if the human girl was an illusion before his eyes, all his attacks continuously hit the empty air... Somehow, this human girl always appeared safe from his attacks.
He was so annoyed, but he didn't dare to use too much of his magic energy because his aura was so well recognized by the Human Continent's emperors. He would be in trouble if they came here. His plan was not to fight with them anyway.
'Lil Ely, maybe he attacked you because he thought you had overheard their conversation about them disguising themselves as humans. You know what you can do with that?' Elena started to worry even more. She could only offer advice.
'Hmm... En, I know. Leave it to me.' After thinking for a moment, Elysia immediately changed her plans.
Initially, she already had a plan to find the right attack loophole to paralyze the Devil Emperor and then run away with Vanessa. The white tiger was still having fun by diving in the water and did not know anything was happening by the lake. Her master did not say anything, and Vanessa did not feel any danger befall her master.
Right now, Elysia only needed to dispel any suspicion or prejudice against her and then paralyze the Devil Emperor for a moment. She wouldn't just let this go because he really wanted to kill her. A valuable punishment in return was a good idea!
"Sir, why are you attacking me? I am just an ordinary little girl who cannot fight an adult like you. Why are you so ferocious? I don't know you, and you don't know me either." Elysia spoke after dodging the attack once again with graceful steps.
"I'll kill you, shut up and accept your fate!" Dylan didn't say much and threw another punch at the weak girl, the human girl was still at the Apprentice level, and he really underestimated her.
"Awa. Wawa... What should I do?" Sylvia stiffened and confused about what she needed to do.
On the side, as the attacker was her fierce and stubborn father, then on the victim side was a weak human girl who was strangely able to keep avoiding her father's blows.
Even though it was just a physical attack with Reinforcement Magic, it was still an attack from a Devil Emperor! How could that human girl manage to do that with such pitiful strength at the Apprentice level!? Sylvia was absurdly confused and shouted in her mind.
"Huff... We are all ordinary humans in a cruel world. Why do you intend to kill each other? Then, if you still insist, please forgive me." Elysia spoke softly. She felt so calm right now.
After convincing herself, she no longer felt the Devil Emperor was so scary and terrible as how she felt when she first came to this world and met them.
After learning many things in the library regarding history and magic, it was true about the world's cruelty. If the strong reigned over the weak's fate... Wouldn't she and her unique magic be categorized as one of those wielding great powers?
Elysia smiled lightly after dodging the Devil Emperor's ten strikes. Then, she clenched her fist and punched the Devil Emperor in the stomach. Not to kill or hurt with serious injuries, but to immobilize him into silence with pain in a different light.
*Pat*
A powerless blow collided with Dylan's stomach, but the Devil Emperor was confused. He didn't feel any pain at all, but it was only for a moment.
Elysia used her magic to churn the Devil Emperor's stomach from the gentle blow without power, a stomachache bad enough to overwhelm an Emperor. After feeling sufficient, she immediately retreated three meters from her previous position.
Dylan's face instantly turned pale. He immediately clutched his stomach, which was churned with a terrible painful twist. What he suffered at that time was not only a terrible stomachache but also a twisted intestine.
He knelt down while clutching his stomach with both hands and then bowed to the ground while groaned in pain... Very much to Sylvia and Elena's surprise.
'So cruel and effective. Where did you learn something like that, Lil Ely?' Elena was impressed.
'I just guessed and tried. No matter how strong a person, at any status and level... They will feel more or less the same if the vulnerable parts of their digestive system are being shaken with severe stomach aches. Look at him, isn't that proven true and real to be the truth?' Elysia was glad her theory was useful.
'You have easily taken down a Devil Emperor, the ruler of the entire Devil Continent above all devils, demons, and other creatures. Not to mention the other four Emperor class devils who have submitted to him. Wow, your accomplishments have surpassed those of the greatest ever achieved in such a simple way, Lil Ely.' Elena praised Elysia with sparkling eyes. It was a fantastic and splendid thing to write in a history book if only anyone knew.
'Hehe...' Elysia just giggled in her mind, but the expression on her face was still flat.
"Father! You! What have you done to my father!" Sylvia shouted and came right to her father's side.
Despite saying it accusingly, Sylvia felt rather pleased with a hint of surprise. This was the first time she had seen her father suffer defeat right before her own eyes. Not to mention, he lost to a weak human girl far below his level.
