"Call upon your ally; he will be your insurance."
"Yes."
Elaine, who was still hesitating about whether to call for outside help, immediately contacted her allies.
A fifth-tier adventurer.
Two level-five beings are enough to kill the other agent. As for the others, she trusts her mercenary group members to handle it well.
……
The night in Star City is still lively.
Amidst the excitement, members of the Sword Dance Mercenary Group began to enter.
They didn't enter the hotel, but instead set up defenses around the perimeter to ensure that not even a fly would get out.
Harvey, a young man who was already a third-tier archmage, was hiding on the roof of a residential building. While keeping an eye on the inn's entrance, he said to his companion, "Mr. Fane, who exactly is the captain going to deal with? Why would he need to mobilize the entire mercenary group?"
“How would I know about this kind of thing? Anyway, we just need to follow the leader’s instructions.” Farn said as he walked to his companions.
“粫=“○0∩→_‰●5〈溜私刺∽蝟4折'■代@×购:I wonder if my good performance this time will win the favor of the group leader?”
Harvey's mind involuntarily conjured up Elaine's graceful figure, and his heart burned with desire.
Just as Harvey was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed that the shadows around him were beginning to distort.
Realizing something was wrong, he immediately distanced himself from the distorted shadow, just as he was about to notify his companions.
A hand suddenly appeared behind him and pushed him into the shadows.
He only had time to turn his head before he discovered that Mr. Farn was staring at him with a fanatical expression, or rather, at something beside him.
Why? Wasn't Mr. Farn a veteran of the mercenary group? Why would he betray them?
Harvey instinctively tried to activate the magic device, but the tentacles formed by the shadows obscured the light emanating from it and severed his connection with it. In Harvey's despairing gaze, a stunningly beautiful girl slowly emerged from the shadows.

When the distorted shadows returned to calm, Harvey, who had just been terrified, now had a face full of fanaticism, just like Farn.
The two exchanged a glance and whispered fervently in a voice only they could hear: "Everything for Miss Elise!"
Back at the inn, Elise yawned lazily as she entered her room. With the help of the traitor, Elise had pinpointed the locations of all the Sword Dance Mercenary Group members.
This gave her the opportunity to persuade everyone.
Seeing Elise return, Elena asked softly, "Have those people been dealt with?"
"Of course, those mercenary gentlemen were very understanding. They felt sorry for me, a weak girl, and they all agreed to help me deal with their leader. Even the two fourth-tier mercenaries were successfully persuaded by me with Miss Nora's help."
"I'm so touched. There are still many good people in this world." Elise smiled with emotion.
Volume 1: Chapter 35 All for Miss Iris
On a nighttime street, a burly man in heavy armor and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure are quickly moving through the streets and alleys.
"Elena, is such a large-scale operation necessary just to deal with a fifth-tier opponent?"
“That’s no ordinary fifth-tier fighter. It’s always better to be careful. Even if you don’t need to lift a finger, I’ll still give you your full reward this time, Nat.”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that," said Nat, a fifth-tier adventurer, with a happy laugh.
Sword Dancer Elaine raised her head and glanced at the moonless night. Today was a good day for killing.
From the moment she set out until now, she had been sensing the location of the other agent, whose location had remained unchanged throughout. He was likely trapped in that hotel by his subordinates.
To avoid any accidents, she had to quicken her pace.
In just five minutes, Elaine arrived at the vicinity of the inn at an extremely fast speed, and the feeling of mutual attraction grew stronger.
Even so, she remained vigilant. The war of the agents was not only the war of the agents, but also His war. No one knew what would happen until the very end.
It's always good to be cautious.
As soon as Elaine appeared around the inn, her deputy leader, a one-eyed mercenary, appeared in front of her.
"Hans, how is the situation?"
"The brothers have surrounded the area. The other side just peeked out, but after realizing they were surrounded, they retreated."
Elaine frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
As an agent, even the most foolish person should be able to sense that they are approaching this way, but the other party did not choose to break through but returned to the hotel, which is not a strong fortress.
Is it a trap to lure me in, or is there some other scheme at play?
"Have our men prepare the magic-powered heavy artillery and blast the hotel to smithereens."
"But what about the other people in the hotel?"
"Never mind, set up illusion barriers and silence barriers nearby. No one will find out that we did it. Be quick!"
She simply couldn't believe that, under those circumstances, another agent could hide in the hotel and never show his face. If he really wouldn't come out, then he would never have to come out at all.
Two semi-transparent light screens passed by the hotel. The illusion barrier would instantly create an illusion that enveloped the area inside the barrier. Even if everything inside the barrier was destroyed, it would still be invisible from the outside.
The effect of a silent barrier is, of course, to seal off all sounds within the barrier.
The magical devices used to set up these two barriers were expensive, and they were all disposable, but she couldn't care less about that in order to ensure everything went perfectly.
The barrier was set up, and the three magical cannons began to charge up; everything was going according to plan.
y尔零山侕磷七是吧^领梦
It should be like this.
But the moment the magic cannons successfully charged, the three magic cannons suddenly turned their muzzles and aimed at Elaine's location.
A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped Elaine, and she activated the blinking magic scroll hidden on her body without hesitation.
The instant the magic cannon was fired, she appeared dozens of meters away, narrowly avoiding the bombardment.
The other person who stayed behind wasn't so lucky. He was directly bombarded by the magic cannon, but since he was a fifth-tier adventurer, he used a similar ability to blink at the last moment to escape the bombardment range.
However, his magical armor was broken, and many fragments were embedded in his body, making him look very disheveled.
囷翼球一琦〔、!死揪罒芭
"Eleanor, what's going on? Aren't these all your people?" An angry voice came from behind. Nat never expected that he would be betrayed by his own people. If it weren't for the magical armor he was wearing, he would probably have been blown to pieces by now.
That magical armor was custom-made by someone who spent most of his savings!
"I don't know either." This was a completely unexpected situation. She never imagined that the mercenary group members she had personally trained would choose to betray her at this time.
The magic cannon needs a cooling-off period after firing, but by then the mercenary group members had already surrounded it.
The sword dancer, who should have been the hunter, has now become the prey.
"Hans, Farn, why did you betray us!"
"Betrayal? No, we would never betray you, it's all for Miss Iris!" Hans's face was filled with fanaticism as he attacked the two like a zealot.
Elaine quickly scanned the expressions on the faces of the others, all of whom, like Hans, were filled with fanaticism. If nothing unexpected happened, their transformation was likely related to the Miss Elise they were talking about.
A murderous intent flashed in Elaine's eyes, but she knew very well that the situation was extremely unfavorable for her, and if she continued to stay here, she would surely die.
"Great being, I pray that you will protect me and help me leave this place."
"It's too late." A clear, ethereal voice rang in her ears, devoid of joy or sorrow.
Elaine then noticed that a red-haired girl wielding a long sword had appeared behind her at some point.
As her agent, she knew at first glance that the other person was the agent she had been looking for.
The battle between agents begins the moment they meet.
The remaining sword-dance mercenaries skillfully separated the other fifth-tier adventurer from the battlefield.
"I'm just doing this for money. How about we discuss this? I'll just leave and it'll all be fine. You won't have to risk your lives fighting me, okay?"
No one answered; the mercenaries continued their relentless attack on him.
"Damn madman!" The magic greatsword in Nat's hand emitted a faint glow, and then a huge magical shock burst out from him, instantly knocking away the surrounding mercenaries.
If he were at his peak, he might still be able to put up a fight against these mercenaries, but now he is injured and his magical armor is broken. If he continues to be entangled here, he will only face death.
The only chance of survival now is to escape from here.
As long as you reach outside the barrier...
Nat hadn't gone far when a strong, intense sense of crisis suddenly erupted within him. He forced himself to turn his body around, but was still slashed across the chest by a dagger that suddenly appeared. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been disemboweled by now.
The assassin, judging from his aura, is only at the third rank.
How could a third-tier assassin approach me silently?!
Having failed to kill his opponent with a single blow, Misha was once again enveloped in shadow and vanished from his opponent's sight in an instant.
Elise's time to use the Shadow Scepter was up for the day, so she handed it over to the maid.
It turns out that shadows and assassins are very compatible.
Volume One: Chapter Thirty-Six: You Are Not Me!
The intense pain and the gradual numbness in his body made Nate realize that the assassin's weapon had been poisoned.
He hurriedly took out the antidote from his spatial ring, but just as he took it out, Elena, who had been lurking in the shadows, appeared.
Without giving her opponent a chance to drink the potion, Elena's attacks came like a whirlwind.
Nat tried to force the other side back in order to buy himself some time.
However, every time Elena was forced to retreat, she would use the impact of the Magic Impact Ring to quickly return to a state of entanglement with her opponent.
This was a skill she learned from Elise, and after two days of life-or-death practice, she had now reached an extremely high level of proficiency.
The longer Nat fought Elena, the faster the poison spread. His counterattacks were no longer as fierce as they had been at the beginning, and his steps became chaotic.
He couldn't understand why a third-tier archmage could fight him for so long, and even when he deliberately exposed an opening, the opponent's attack rhythm remained completely unaffected.
Without a doubt, he was seen through.
Seeing that Nat was showing signs of fatigue, Elena quickened her attack, instantly gathering her magic power. The magic ring on her left hand emitted a strong magical glow, and the huge magical impact propelled her toward Nat at an unprecedented speed.

Having grown accustomed to Elena's attack rhythm, Nate, though aware of what she intended to do and knowing how to defend himself, was unable to make the necessary movements due to his paralyzed body.
Elena narrowly avoided the greatsword's sweeping attack and punched Nat in the wound.
The spell, which had been chanted long ago, was activated. Magic surged into Nat's body, condensing his blood into countless ice spears. Centered on his body, a blood-red ice flower bloomed instantly.
The fifth-tier magic knight has died.
Elena was panting heavily, her left arm hanging limply, but an excited smile was on her face.
Killing a fifth-tier being with the strength of a third-tier being is no easy feat, even if the opponent is injured.
The main reason is that the opponent's magical armor was already broken; otherwise, killing the opponent would not have been so easy.
"Stop laughing, look at the state your hands are in." Elise walked over to Elena, her tone clearly reproachful.
She noticed that Elena's fighting style was starting to resemble her pre-rebirth style, whether it was due to her memories gradually returning or some other reason.
Looking at Elise's worried expression, Elena felt a little dazed, as if she had heard similar words somewhere before.
"It's just a dislocation." Elena skillfully put her left hand back in place, but the sudden, intense pain still made her involuntarily frown.
"You could have just kept fighting. Next time you encounter this situation, don't be stupid and risk your life, understand?" Elise squinted and pinched Elena's cheek.
"Okay," Elena said impatiently, turning her head away.
She had actually realized that her master had been dreaming of fighting another master in her dreams for the past two days, and the way she fought had changed without her realizing it. Elise was reminding her that reality is not a dream, and the dead cannot be resurrected.
That's why she let Elise pinch her face.

Elise, finding the texture quite pleasant, rubbed it a few more times until Elena's eyes turned dangerous. Reluctantly, she withdrew her hand and handed her a bottle of healing potion: "Drink it."
The healing potion Elise offered wasn't cheap. Elena initially wanted to say she didn't need it, but under Elise's gaze, she obediently drank it.
Tsk, when did I become so obedient?
Elise unleashed the mark of the Gluttonous King, devouring the crimson ice flower, and then turned her attention to the duel between the two agents.
Elaine the Sword Dancer fights just as her title suggests, her graceful body dancing wildly under the moon, her twin swords launching relentless attacks on Nora with each swing.
