That's a fake elf

Listening to the roar of the fire giant in the crater, Hekeda remained motionless.

She had no intention of climbing up and taking advantage of the opportunity, because in her opinion, using the fire giant to consume the opponent's power was already very dishonorable.

If she continues to add insult to injury at this time, it will really disgrace the Pegliano royal family.

Hekedna frowned when she heard the voice above disappear.

When she came down, she had already seen that the barrier was shrinking towards the crater. This meant that all contestants must face the fire giant as long as they did not want to be eliminated.

At this moment, if the fire giant is defeated, then those who have not yet been eliminated should come to the safe area below. If the contestant is defeated, then she should be teleported away.

But now there is no sound of fighting, and no one is coming down. What is going on up there?

Hekedena was itching to go out and have a look, but she was worried that she would be attacked the moment she went out, so she could only continue to wait quietly.

As time passed by, just when Hekeda was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with the barrier, the sound of fighting sounded again.

The roar of the fire giant, as well as the sound of sword energy rubbing against gravel, could not be heard without stopping, making Hekedna's blood boil.

"coming."

Seeing a figure jumping from the crater, Hekeda's eyes flashed with light. She dragged the [Sword of Final Lament] with one hand and started to gallop on the cooled black rock.

The moment the opponent landed, Hekedna suddenly exerted her strength and jumped up from the ground. The sword moved with her, and her whole body turned into a rapidly rotating ice sawtooth and slashed at the opponent.

"what!"

A golden wall of light stood in front of the ice.

Dark blue ice chips, like a blizzard, swept across the entire magma lake, instantly freezing the black rocks on the ground.

But soon, the continuously rotating ice sawtooth cut countless cracks on the golden wall of light.

Seeing that the opponent's defensive magic was about to be broken, a hint of excitement flashed in Hekedna's eyes.

But the next second, a sudden change occurred.

A violent explosion occurred with the wall of light as the center, blowing away Hekedna who was caught off guard.

"puff."

Hekedna spit out a mouthful of blood as she hit the wall. She looked at the gorgeous shield with the eight-armed naga pattern and an expression of disbelief on her face.

She had never heard of the family in Peliano with the eight-armed naga as its emblem, nor did she remember that family had a legendary shield.

If so, the family would have already become famous in Pegliano.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"I'm freezing to death." Li Ang wiped off the ice on his face and carefully poked his head out from behind the shield.

When she saw Hekedna holding the big sword, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Although when he saw the ice wall in the volcano, he had already guessed who the enemy he was going to face was.

But he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly launch an attack while he was still on a firm footing.

If he hadn't suddenly activated the [Guardian Shield] aegis skill, the blow just now would have sent him away directly.

[The sword in that child’s hand is extraordinary! ] Remilia's voice suddenly sounded in Li Ang's mind.

[Why is it unusual? ] Li Ang asked curiously.

[If I read it correctly, it should be the weapon used by the goddess of liberty, Ceres, the Sword of the Last Lament. ] Remilia said in a deep voice.

【Artifact? ] Li Ang was startled and suddenly his hair stood on end.

Legendary weapons are enough for ordinary high-level professionals to challenge legendary experts. If it is a high-level professional holding an artifact, wouldn't that mean that he can crush legendary professionals?

Is he going to expose his strength here?

[The Sword of Last Lament can only be used as an artifact in the land of Periano, and here it is at most an ordinary divine weapon. 】

Remilia said with a smile.

After hearing Remilia's explanation, Li Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[But even if it is an ordinary god-made weapon, you have to be careful. I remember the special skill of this weapon, which can absorb the energy lost in battle to form a large-scale ice attribute attack. 】

Looking at the surrounding environment, Li Ang suddenly realized.

No wonder Hekeda, a swordsman who is obviously not a mage, is able to continuously unleash large-scale attacks. It turns out that she relies on this sword.

While Li Ang was still dazed, Hekeda had already started to attack.

But this time she learned the lesson and did not rush up to fight Li Ang impulsively. Instead, she gathered her strength and sent out a stream of ice sword energy to sweep towards Li Ang.

It was obviously intended to use the special skill of [Sword of Final Lament] to consume Li Ang's mana and physical strength.

"Aegis."

Although Li Ang wanted to avoid the ice sword energy, the ground had already been frozen by the blizzard during the previous attack.

As long as he dares to move quickly, he will definitely lose his balance and be hit directly by the ice sword energy.

However, Li Ang did not intend to be a target all the time. While the wall of light was absorbing damage, Li Ang used [Fire of the Abyss] directly on the ground.

The dark red flame instantly melted the ice on the ground and turned the cooled black rock back into magma.

In an instant, the originally cold volcano became hot again.

[You are already in the magma area, losing 268 health points per second]

Seeing Hekeda who was constantly wielding her sword and shooting out ice sword energy to prevent the spread of lava, Li Ang showed a proud smile on his lips.

He was still very confident in his recovery ability. After all, he was still a great druid.

But just when Li Ang was happy, several black shadows suddenly hit the lava, giving him a lava bath, which made him scream and scream.

"Roar!"

Li Ang, who spread his wings and flew into the sky, looked at the fire giant who was roaring at him, and his face suddenly turned dark.

He looked up and realized that these fire giants had begun to return to their lair one after another after discovering that the volcano had regained its temperature.

"What's it called!"

Angry and aggrieved, Li Ang used [Storm Attack], which attracted a large amount of thunder and lightning and began to wash the ground. Unexpectedly, these fire giants also learned this and hid directly in the magma.

When the thunder and lightning dissipated, these fire giants leaned out of the magma again and began to show off their power, waving lava bombs to greet him and Hekedna.

After taking a look at the fire giant who was preparing for his next attack, Li Ang could only fly out of the crater first.

As soon as he flew out, Li Ang saw the three of Lona running around being chased by the fire giants, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Soon, dark clouds gathered above the crater and thunder fell like rain.

The fire giants, whose faces were washed away by countless thunder and lightning, and whose bodies almost shrank in size, roared at Li Ang and jumped into the volcano dejectedly.

"Roar!"

"Why did you come up again? Didn't we agree that you would deal with the people below while we hold the fire giant up above?"

"The plan has changed." Li Ang couldn't help laughing when he saw that the troubadour was now covered in black, as if he had just crawled out of the coal mine.

Seeing this, Lona quickly grabbed Li Ang's sleeve and wiped his face. Li Ang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Why don't you wipe it with your own clothes?"

"Your clothes are cleaner than mine." Lona pointed to the dark leather armor on her body and looked at Li Ang confidently, but little did she know that due to the mixture of sweat and volcanic ash, she had turned into a tabby cat at this moment.

"Forget it, as long as you are happy." Li Ang grinned.

"Are we waiting here to be eliminated?" Amelia looked at the barrier that was about to shrink into the crater, and suddenly felt like crying.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win." Li Ang looked down at Hekedna, who was fighting the fire giants in the volcano, with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.

They were so passive because they lost the first move before.

Now the situation is reversed. Hekedna not only has to face them, but also a dozen fire giants. Even if they are made of iron, they probably won't be able to withstand them.

"ended."

Li Ang smiled as he watched a huge sword of ice smash into the magma lake.
