Fortunately, all elves were magicians, and even the least skilled could use one or two spells. Extinguishing the fire here wasn’t difficult, and the glowing trees weren’t ordinary plants, but fantasy creatures created with magic. It wasn’t difficult for them to extinguish the flames on themselves.
Therefore, although the fire seemed terrifying, it didn’t cause much damage and was quickly extinguished.
But Jenom’s unusual behavior still made some elves apprehensive, and they hurriedly went to inform the Elven Corps, reporting what had happened.
The chase was gradually escalating.
Shien and Jenom, oblivious to this, continued their pursuit.
“[Blizzard]!”
This time, Jenom didn’t dare to use fire magic again, switching to ice magic instead. She summoned a blizzard that howled towards Shien.
The air froze, turning into a cold mist and ice crystals, and the streets gradually froze under the blizzard.
This powerful blizzard struck Shien, but it still couldn’t stop him.
“[Bestow: Dispel].”
Shien continued to use the Dispel Bestowal Magic, ripples of magic power continuously fluctuating around him, neutralizing the incoming blizzard.
“[Blizzard]!”
“[Blizzard]!”
“[Blizzard]!”
Jenom, seemingly losing control, seeing Shien effortlessly dispelling her magic, became even more enraged, repeatedly chanting and unleashing ice magic.
Instantly, icy winds howled, and snow blew, as if the goddess of winter was furious, an endless blizzard enveloping the surroundings.
“Crack, crack, crack…!”
Under the extreme blizzard, a chilling sound of freezing continuously echoed as everything around them froze, turning into ice sculptures.
Shien hadn’t expected this girl to become so crazy just because he took Melika away.
Since that was the case…
“[Bestow: Reflect].”
Shien used another type of magic, and the magic ripples around him suddenly transformed, becoming smooth and shimmering like a mirror.
“Boom!”
The blizzard struck Shien, but before it could take effect, it was reflected by the mirror-like magic ripples, turning into a tornado of ice and snow that blasted towards Jenom.
“Ah!”
Jenom, seeing this, exclaimed and stopped, hurriedly raising her short staff.
“[Filariasis Shield]!”
High temperature replaced low temperature, and the ground before Jenom trembled, as if magma was about to erupt, suddenly cracking as flames surged out.
The flames formed a barrier before Jenom, blocking the incoming blizzard.
“Boom—!”
The next moment, fire and ice collided, creating an explosion and a shockwave.
When the fire and ice dissipated, Jenom rushed out from the blast, hurriedly looking around, her expression turning grim.
Because Shien was gone.
“Where is he!?”
Jenom gritted her teeth, even panicking a little.
Shien’s disappearance meant that Melika was also gone with him.
Taking Melika away, to a place where no one could find them, what would that man from another race do?
Just thinking about it made Jenom want to bang her head against a wall.
“Come out!”
Jenom couldn’t help but shout.
And then…
“Alright, I’m out. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Jenom?”
A suppressed, angry voice came from behind Jenom, making her freeze.
Jenom could only turn her head stiffly and look behind her, seeing a group of people standing there.
“Look at the mess you’ve made, Jenom.”
“What were you thinking?”
“Trying to destroy the village?”
“Jenom, we spoiled you too much.”
A group of elves from the Elven Corps arrived, standing behind Jenom, scolding her angrily.
And at the forefront was Carol, her face dark.
“T-Teacher Carol…!?”
Jenom’s face turned pale.
“Don’t call me teacher. I don’t have such a reckless disciple.”
Carol gritted her teeth.
“T-Teacher! Listen to me!” Jenom, sensing impending doom, said quickly, “That man from another race took Melika away!”
“Really?” Carol was unmoved and said coldly, “Him taking Melika away, what does that have to do with you setting fire to the village and freezing everything?”
“Of course, it’s related!” Jenom shouted, “I have to get Melika back!”
“Get your head back!” Carol finally exploded, grabbing Jenom’s collar, pulling her close, and roaring, “They came here together. If he wanted to do something to Melika, would he wait until they’re in the Elven Homeland, in front of everyone, to do it!?”
“But… but…!” Jenom subconsciously struggled, trying to retort.
“No more excuses!” Carol interrupted her. “Now, come with me and apologize to everyone!”
Saying so, Carol dragged Jenom away, ignoring her struggles.
“Wait… wait! Melika! My Melika—!!!”
Jenom’s cries echoed through the air.
Unfortunately, it didn’t elicit any sympathy.
