Chapter 21 Mysterious Elven Girl

"Heh heh heh, hand over your money and valuables. As for the elf, she can give her gratitude to us for sparing her life!"

A ruined carriage with broken wheels lay on the dirt road. There was a fat man standing in front of the carriage. He then knelt towards the several bandits. The men wore wearing dirty, patched leather armour with black face coverings and damaged swords. A man with red spiked hair and several scars on his face lead them. He looked around 30 years old and held a larger sword in better condition.

"Gyahahaha, what a beauty I'm already hard!"

His fellow bandits joined in on the laughing. They walked towards the merchant slowly as the leader stood back. He was looking towards the Elven girl, ignoring everything else as he licked his cracked lips.

"Please, sir, we're only a travelling merchant group. Take the elf! We will leave the money. Just let us go!"

The girl was watching the entire scene with an uninterested face. She had taken a risk of sneaking out because of a fortuneteller's story of meeting her fated man during her visit to the Elven territories' border. If she wanted, killing these filthy humans would be no problem, but then her mana would be detected, and she'd be locked up in the palace once again. Maybe forever this time.

'I should probably play along with the bandits. Otherwise, that fat merchant will give me away and I'll lose my chance to escape.'

A gleam of red light flashed past the elf's face, almost cutting her fringe off. She took a small step backwards as her eyes widened. Her long blonde princess cut hair blew with the wind that followed by the object that flew in the air.

"What!?" a stunning golden haired elf woman exclaimed. She wore a white one piece dress filled with flowers.

*Step*

She saw a beautiful man flash past her. He was holding a large blood red sword. The girl felt it was extremely enchanting, like a painting. Her hands tightened as she felt a strange feeling within her chest. 'Am I sick? Why does watching that man make my heart palpitate so fiercely?' She thought for a moment before her fair face returned to its stern look.

"Who's this fucker?" (Bandit A)

"GYAAAAA!" (Bandit C)

The flash of red was Lucian's thick, short sword. He didn't really wish to help, but the system issued a task. His blade rotated through the air and embedded itself into the bandit's chest. He didn't bleed as the handy blood slime Suu drank him dry in seconds. She then vanished and appeared in Lucian's hand.

'I wonder why this girl triggered a mission. She's an elf, after all. The only elf I'm interested in should be at the border right now. Lance would save her on his way to the academy from an assassination,' Lucian thought as he walked closer to the bandits. His sword sliced through the merchant's throat as he passed.

"Filthy trash." He whispered.

Lucian didn't know why, but this guy almost made his mission fail. If he hadn't had the improved hearing of a Vampir and was just a regular vampire or human. This delicate little elf girl would be gangbanged by the bandits by now.

(Lucian POV)

I stood watching the remaining bandits. 'Suu transform into a great sword for me? Thanks!' "Puru" (You're welcome tehe! I did well.) His longsword began to mutated growing to 200 cm long, with dark black jagged teeth on the blades edges. It's handle with black with a golden guard.

"Say, you wouldn't be willing to just leave, right?" I asked the bandits just in case.

"Gyahahah, what are you saying, little brother?" (Bandit A)

"Heh, we're not leaving when there's a fine elf to bang! How about you walk on and leave us alone?" (Bandit B)

"Ye killed our brother and expect us to just leave? No can do kid!" (Bandit leader)

My eyes moved to look at the man speaking. His status entered my view. I felt a more relaxed after seeing it. 'Humans are really weak…' I pointed my sword's tip towards the group of bandits. They looked at me with their swords ready.

"Well, don't say I didn't try." I shrugged my shoulders as my skin filled with earth. This was the first time I used the enchantment ability. 'It seem's I can use it on myself too, just feels like my stamina is draining rapidly.'

My head turned towards the beautiful elf and I gave an elegant bow like I'd seen in countless drama's and movies on tv. "Let me invite you to a dance, beautiful Elven maiden!"

'Enchant sword: Flame'

(Lucian POV end)

The girl watched as his body glowed with a beautiful red flame. It enchanted her as she locked her eyes onto his muscular body. She thought to herself, 'can Elven males really become this strong? Why are his muscles so pleasing? The royal guards looked thin and weedy even when they spent everyday training!' Her mouth filled with drool at the stark contrast of what she had known all her life.

His body flashed an enormous sword surrounded by a blaze as he began his dance of death. He span in a circle, swinging his blade downwards diagonally, slicing off a bandit's legs. His wrists flipped the blade and pierced behind him. A bandit that was about to strike him was impaled in his stomach before burning to cinders..

[Mystery Elf +10 affection]

"He's so beautiful!" The girl had stopped trying to escape and just watched him with glittering eyes. She clutched her hands as she watched his large blade collide with the bandits' countless attacks. He'd dodge to the side to avoid a fatal stab, then use one hand to create a shard of earth that shot into another bandit's eye.

"What a splendid fighting style! I've only seen my sister who can fight in such a beautiful way! Is he some kind of Elven royalty? Maybe from a distant family… I remember the snow elves had pale skin and white hair."

,m "Haaaah!"

Lucian's sword cleaved the last bandit mob in two. The leader was feeling a deep pressure. The crew he'd created over years was gone. He felt deep anger and frustration at his weakness as he covered his bleeding flank. 'Boys, I don't think it will be long before I join you.'

He dashed towards the Elven girl with his sword drawn, aiming to cut her head off with a single strike. The Elven girl didn't even give him a single look. The spiral of flames following Lucian entranced her. She felt her heart continue to pound with a feeling she shouldn't have, a feeling she couldn't understand but couldn't stop.

"I can't kill him, but I'll take you with me!" The bandit leader said. His distance was now only a few metres.

Lucian turned his body to see the bandit leader moving towards the elven girl. He felt a sense of fatigue and pain within his body. Although he had infinite stamina. It didn't mean his body was immune to exhaustion. 'Fuck, I can't leap because of the strain of the blade dance.' Is what I would say if I couldn't use magic! Haha!

"I call forth the lady of flame. Incinerate my enemy [Fire ball!]" Lucian said with a deep voice. The flames that were idly swirling around him became a ball of fire and fired at the bandit. He was too focused on the girl that the ball of fire hit him from the rear, burning through his chest.

She watched this sight with a sense of stupor and amazement. The elf like man who saved her not only killed the men who threatened to dirty her purity. He stopped the man who tried to end her life. She felt her body throbbing with joy. 'Is this the man? Is he the one that fortuneteller said, my fated hero?'

"My knight. I've finally found you!" the girl mumbled. These were the word she should have muttered when meeting Lance. When Lucian heard them, his eye widened as he looked at the mysterious elf. He hoped she wasn't who he thought. Otherwise, things would become very complicated...
