"Why did the orcs invade your village?" Mariel asked curiously as she chased after Mania and the others to join them in the center of the village for the fight.
"These orcs often steal our crops and fruits. Sometimes they take back the mineral resources that we have stored in the main warehouse." Mania said.
"So these elves can fight against the orcs, right?" Beatrix asked.
"They fought to some extent, but there were no major losses. Most of the time, our resources and other crops were stolen. We encountered this almost every month." Mania said.
"This time, let's make an unforgettable memory on them." Mariel said with a smile.
When Mariel and the others arrived, they found that Elder Karim was ordering the male elves to prepare for battle, gathering around 100 men from the entire village. Most of the female elves were hiding in their homes with their children.
"You guys can hide in the house like everyone else. We can handle it." said by Mania's father: Calvald.
"Dad, my two friends are willing to help us." Mania said confidently.
"But the Orcs have great strength. I'm afraid two girls like you won't be able to fight them." another male elf said in disbelief.
Mariel didn't respond but smiled back. Then she clasped both her hands together in front of her chest. A red glow spread across her body, causing the other elves to be stunned by this. Meanwhile, Mania and Beatrix were watching and smiling from her side.
Suddenly, the familiar Dragon Slayer Sword appeared in front of everyone with a fiery red glow. Mariel slowly used her right hand to grab the Dragon Slayer Sword and raised it towards the sky with a proud expression.
"Is this the legendary Dragon Slayer Sword that legendary Sword warriors Victor used to fight the young demon lord that time?" Old elf Karim said with admiration.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. I'm ready to fight with all my strength." Mariel said confidently.
Everyone felt like they had gained a strong comrade, and they shouted with joy and full of encouragement.
Suddenly, the statue of the Elf Goddess Christine shone a bright white light from behind everyone. The power of each Elf increased exponentially. The male Elf Mages and some female Elf Healing Mages were ready to fight the Orcs. Mariel felt more relaxed than ever after receiving power from the Elf Christine. This warm power gradually spread throughout her body, merging with the Qi veins in her body, creating a strange dual power between the Human and Elf tribes.
"Try using my power to fight the orcs, Mariel." a mysterious female voice echoed in Mariel's ears.
"Elf Christine!" Mariel immediately replied with her thoughts.
"That's right, it's me. The village I protect is always invaded by demons or orcs. This time, there are more than hundreds of orcs. Please protect my village." said by Elf Christine.
"I will definitely not disappoint you, Elf Christine. I will do my best." Mariel replied with a confident smile.
There are more than 300 orcs who's slowly walked into Elf village without fear. The green and blue orcs were over 2 meters tall, had very strong and muscular bodies. They stared at the group of male elves with unfriendly eyes because this time, their situation was clearly advantageous. Their army was taller than them, so the chance of victory was much higher than elf people. The elven elders and the group of male elves were ready for battle with magic staffs, swords, and shields in their hands. Normally, the elves were a peaceful race. They did not interact much with other races. In addition, their combat skills were much inferior. Therefore, in many situations, the elves were always at a disadvantage and lost the fight.
Mariel walked forward fearlessly. The group of elves behind her were all standing guard, watching the situation to see what would happen. Mariel's gaze was facing the Orc leader who was covered in scars, had green skin, was big, and almost 2 meters and 50 centimeters tall. Compared to Mariel's height, it was a completely different size.
"Oh, Human, why do you have to fight against us?" The Orc Chief said with curiosity.
"These elves are my friends. If you have a problem with them, you have a problem with me too." Mariel said without fear.
"What? Can you win against us? We have a lot of strength, drop your weapon and become my wife, lol." the orc leader said and laughed along with the other orcs.
"Well, let me tell you one thing, my body is too expensive but if you want to know how much it is, come here and I'll tell you the price." Mariel said in a pleading tone, invited the orc leader to lower himself to listen to her.
"I'll pay all, no matter how much it costs. Come on, tell me." the orc leader said, leaning down and tilting his right ear to listen to Mariel's offer.
However,...
Smash!!!!
Mariel's right fist, which was charged with fire magic at the beginning, slammed into the orc leader's face, causing his nose to bleed and his mouth to fill with blood. He almost fell over, forcing the other orcs to rush over and support him.
"Hey, How dare you to hurt me like this? Do you want to die?" The orc leader shouted.
"Speaking something disrespectfully to me like this, one punch is not enough. If you dare, come and get me!" Mariel challenged.
"Kill them all!!!" The orc leader ordered his army.
"All elves, fight for our family!!!" Elder Elf Karim ordered.
All the Orcs and Elf Armies fought fiercely. The young elves of the village arranged their fighting and defense teams to fight against orcs. The elf swordsmen team blocked the attacks from the orcs' large wooden clubs that rushed in and attacked nonstop. Their enormous strength caused the young elf's team to continuously fall back. Although their bodies were injured in many places, they were continuously healed by the healer female elves. The power of the female elves Christine helped increase their healing power and reduced the amount of magic power used. This allowed the female elves who were in the healing skills to continuously use healing magic more often.
However, the disadvantage is that the strength gap is too high. It is not surprising that the Elf tribe in this village often loses their various resources, including crops, vegetables, and fruits that they have grown, just because the Orc tribe does not care about basic living, but instead uses some harassing other tribes to seize the resources for their own with no mercy.
Smash!
Mariel was hit by the orc leader with a spiked club, causing her to stagger and collapse to the ground in pain.
"I didn't expect the Orcs to have such great strength. This battle doesn't be easy for me." Mariel thought to herself.
"Get her, all three of you!" the orc leader ordered.
Suddenly, in front of Mariel, three blue-green orcs swung their large wooden clubs at her with such force that she barely had a chance to react.
"Mariel!" Mania, who was healing others, was also anxious.
SMASH!!!!
"We take her down! WHAT???" One of the orcs said with glee after swinging his wooden club at Mariel with full force, but they were shocked by something that was impossible to happen in front of them.
The kneeling Mariel tightly gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword with both hands and received all three wooden clubs that were swung down above her head at once. Her trembling hands from receiving this triple-strength attack made her body tremble so much that she could barely stand up. The Qi within her body was quite chaotic.
Ouch... Mariel vomited blood all over the ground. She could barely withstand the attack but still tried to block the three wooden clubs.
!!!!!!!
Suddenly, the power of Elf Christine healed all of Mariel's injuries and gave her another special ability.
"My turn!!!!"
Mariel used her Qi and the power of the Elf Christine to reflect back the three orcs' wooden clubs, causing them to stagger back in surprise.
"No, that's impossible!" The orc leader shouted in extreme shock.
"I'll finish all of you!" Mariel shouted as she charged fearlessly at the Orc army.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Mariel rushed forward and slashed at the orcs with the Dragon Slayer Sword, successfully knocking a lot of orc army to the ground. More than half of the orcs were injured, while on the elves' side, with Mariel and Beatrix helping them, they were able to fight even more advantage against orcs.
"I got you!!!" Mariel said as she put the Dragon Slayer Sword back into her body, then she charged her dark magic power to both of her arms, it gradually turned black, along with long, sharp claws.
"No!!!!" The orc leader shouted in terror as if he knew his life was about to be taken in the next few seconds.
The sharp claws of her right hand slashed through the orc leader's stomach with full force. Even though the orc leader body had used energy to strengthen its muscles, it was unable to withstand Mariel's dark magic claws. Green blood spurted out from the center of his stomach, causing him to howl in pain.
"A serpent bites!" Mariel said, using the same technique she used when Apophis controlled her body when she fought Dekiran.
Aww!!!
Dozens of serpents conjured from dark magic snatched and ripped apart the orc leader's energy and magic, causing his form to distort.
BOOMMMMMMM!!!!!
The orc chief's body exploded into pieces in front of both the elves and orcs. Green blood scattered all over the ground. The orcs stood there in extreme fear, not expecting that this girl being would have greater power than them.
Mariel walked towards the Orcs fearlessly. Suddenly, Mariel's expression changed. Her blood-red serpentine eyes stared at the Orc army like a hunter looking at hundreds of delicious preys.
"If you dare to come in this elf village again, next time I will kill every single one of you!" Mariel declared angrily.
"Retreat!!!" Another blue Orc shouted, causing the remaining Orc army to run away in all directions, leaving the village.
The Elven people shouted in joy at this victory. No one died and the crops, fruits, and resources were all preserved.
Mariel turned to look at the entire village of elves who were applauding her with joy. This battle boosted her morale even more. Hundreds of tall and powerful Orc armies were defeated by her and her friends. From now on, she had nothing to fear. No matter what kind of demonic armies they encountered, she was ready to fight to the death together with everyone until the end of her life.
