I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 331: Dark Elves vs Sun Fire Knights ( 2 )

Diether was confident that with his troops, the Dark Elves would never be able to threaten them with the level of their preparations.

They have enough Sun Fire Essence They have all mastered their Hazy Flash Steps They are also equipped with precious Solar Swords They are also immune to the Dark Elves' curses because of their Enchanted Armors

Unless they faced the strongest elf warrior who defeated all the members of the Night Brigade, they should be able to kill all of these Dark Elves in front of them.

Bam!

He sliced strike the nearest Dark Elf but it was blocked by their wooden staves However, he didn't mind it at all as he knows that the elf is already being pressured by their Fire Essence 

Whoosh~

He used his Flash Step and appeared behind the Dark Elf

Boom!

The wolf seem to have sensed his presence and he was kicked by its hind legs. Nevertheless, the strike wasn't strong enough to throw him away.

"Haa!"

Diether exerted more Spiritual Energy in this strike as he cut the elf's right arm! He was aiming to cut his body but the elf was lucky that the Phantom Wolf managed to move away

He wanted to pursue the elf but he felt that the ground he was stepping on started trembling and softening

"Hold!" He heard the dark elf shout as his feet were captured by the ground. He felt that he was being pulled underground but it wasn't strong enough that would make him worry. 

He saw that three dark elves were approaching him as they glared at him with malice!

"Die!"

As long as he died here, the morale of the troops would definitely be affected and the Dark Elves would be able to gain an advantage. However, he was in the front line because he's strong!

"Come!" 

Diether radiated with a powerful aura as the Curses that is silently piercing his armor were eliminated by his Fiery Aura.

Boom!

The ground on his feet exploded as he freed himself from the bindings of the enemy.

He welcomed the Dark Elves rushing at him as he fought a dazzling battle against them!

***

"Tsk You guys are too sick I already killed so many of you and you're still not retreating?"

A man with short silver hair frowned as soon as he saw the wolves and elves pouncing at him.

He used his Flash Step to move around and avoid confronting them directly. He let his subordinates deal with these elves who managed to get closer to him. 

He surveyed the surroundings as he needed to find the spot where the pressure from the dark elves is quite stronger. 

Soon, he noticed one of the Knights was injured on his leg and could only dodge the enemy attacks by using his Flash Step poorly

He was being targeted by two Phantom Wolves that had lost their owners The Dark Elves riding them was probably already dead or decided to come down instead to face the other knights.

He then pulled the string of his Ethereal Pathfinder Bow and targeted the two wolves

Twang!

He released two arrows made of his Spiritual Energy as they moved like a ghost and followed the wolves' movements 

Bang! Bang!

The two wolves died in a swift manner as the man continued to help the others. 

"Vice-Captain Rufus! Thank you!"

The injured Knight didn't forget to thank the vice-captain. He didn't need to look who shot the arrow and just shouted his thanks. It didn't matter whether Rufus heard him with the current chaos happening everywhere He just wanted to at least say this to regain his morale and to let the other Knights know that the Vice Captain had their backs.

They know that the Fire Essence scattered around the battlefield can help them suppress the power of the Dark Elves. However, now that they are facing them, they felt that the Dark Elves had truly lived up to their name.

Many of the Knights presents had participated in the war against the Erliente Dukedom before. They had used their Fire Essence to fight and they managed to suppress the Magicians of the Dukedom who had also practiced their Beast Arts. 

Since that was the case, they could infer that these Dark Elves were stronger than the Beast Arts Practitioners of the Dukedom.

"Haa!"

Diether, who is currently facing five Dark Elves at the same time, was suddenly targeted by the leader of the Dark Elves' troops. 

Luckily, the leader wasn't Reiji and was only a taller Dark Elf with two long staves as his weapons.

"Hmph I've seen enough, you can die now!"

The Dark Elf with long braided hair charged towards Diether. He's mounted on a large beast wolf and his aura was so oppressive that the Knights and other Dark Elves instinctively moved away. 

His bearing was completely different from the other dark elf warriors

Nevertheless, Diether didn't run away but charged ahead instead! 

If he managed to defeat this elf, the victory would be theirs!

Of course, he didn't dare to ignore the surrounding dark elves as he still fully utilized all his Magic Items and Arcana to fight them

Diether swiftly glanced in Rufus' direction and noticed that he was also looking at the tall leader of the Elves.

They did not need to communicate any longer as the vice-captain knows what they have to do.

***

Stella and Aria watched the battle and they are even getting closer and closer to the battlefield. 

They wanted to at least ensure that they would be able to immediately act in case Diether needs their help. 

"That Archer is really good Unlike the firearms that can only shoot in a straight line, the curved shot of his bow is truly useful in this kind of battle." Aria commented as she was now thinking whether to get a gun or a bow and arrow instead.

Stella nodded at this since she was also watching the man with a majestic bow. 

It was simply because this person has been helping Diether to fight off against the six Dark Elves including their leader!

Perhaps, if not for the man's constant shot of arrows, Diether would've already succumbed and defeated in the battle.
