Chapter 67: Louise is a little petty!
It snowed.
"Have they been looking out for a dragon? That makes sense!" Leon eximed while pulling the metal fortress out of the darkened clearing.
His friends nodded at these words.
"Otherwise, they wouldn''t havee here from their snowynd… No, they wouldn''t have brought out their snow formation here!" Celes finished Leon''s thoughts, having the same idea as him.
Understanding them, Louise silently nodded and added more strength to her little hands. She red up the crimson chains, taking away a lot of burdens.
With three of them cooperating together, the metal fortress soon left the battlefield. It became lighter over time, as though its purpose of it had changed, and Leon could easily take it to his fortress.
Leon knew it was not over, often looking behind. "If Winterborn wants the dragon, the ck asura are no longer burdened by her. They must be on our trail!"
Only half of that was true.
Because the blue dragon''s strength had been unexpectedly too high, the ck asura suffered many wounds, and their mana heavily plummeted, to say nothing of their wounds. One of them didn''t even have a leg, so he couldn''t easily move outside their darknessnd.
Thus, nearly all of them decided to recuperate.
The least tired and wounded ck asura kept his eyes on Leon, silently following them. He focused so much on his cover that even the vampiress couldn''t spot him. She''d notice him only when the ck asura got thoughts of appearing and inflicting some damage.
But that wouldn''t be the case since he would rather bring his friends.
In this case, Leon and his friends easily returned to their fortress.

After using many of their consumable medicines, the ck asura circled around the fortress, finding a few entrances to infiltrate its insides. They didn''t spot anyone on the watch, as though those entrances had been empty. Moreover, the fortress seemed abandoned again, for it didn''t exude any light, and no presence slipped outside.
It was as though Leon had used his skill to hide everyone''s presence inside!
But as it had been confirmed that Leon dragged the dwarf there, the ck asura didn''t dally around, taking the risk. They stepped through the entrance''s thresholds, entering the monsters'' jaws.
Before, they separated into four teams.
The first team consisted of the strongest and most experienced ck asura, whose purpose was to stay at level fifty to take low-grade missions and ensure their sess, and two more ck asura.
Though the leader could level up and taste more sess in his life, being useful and proficient in low-level missions was also an honor.
You couldn''t always rely on new talent.
That man was known as Reva. He instantly ordered his people to activate [Cloak Of Darkness], ushering the ck element into the corridors. Those spread far and wide until someone stopped them.
Reva narrowed his eyes, and so did his teammates.
? When they reached the first hurdle, they noticed a short woman standing with her fox tails erect. Those tails exuded so much light that their darkness couldn''t go past her.
She was on fire, yet her eyes coldly pierced forward. "I can sense you."<novelnext></novelnext>
Her chilling voice brought one of the ck asura out of the darkness. But as Louise trained her eyes on two more ck asura, her presence became sharper, with tongues of mes running away from her tails, only to dissipate as she couldn''t keep them outside.
She had conveyed her indignation, though.
Thus, Reva revealed himself. He didn''t n to talk with this unique woman.
He didn''t think he''d be able to negotiate any terms with her, for this girl looked like a cold tool executing her master''s orders. It was simply impossible to properly talk with such a person.
And what kind of order did she receive?
Reva didn''t doubt it was to deal with them!
''I''d dly exchange the lives of these two for the dwarf… s, these guys apparently want both the dwarf and ck asura''s blood… Very well.'' Reva''s blue eyes became colder, too.
He made contact with his teammates, then rushed in. His two buddies instantly cast their skills, summoning many dark hands that followed their strongest''s wake.
Reva gathered his mana around his balled hand, turning it ck. His dark fist became so heavy with mana that one straight into Louise''s face should be enough to kill her. If he couldn''t connect it, he''d wait for his teammates to catch her with their army of hands.
They weren''t called ''Asura'' for nothing, after all.
But none of his ns came to fruition.
Sensing the man''s rush, Louise kicked the ground and went forward. She touched the ground a few times, yet it seemed like she flew to Reva''s side. Her every step pushed away the darkness, for her body was on fire! And her race''s fire was unique enough to easily deal with the ck asura''s darkness.
When she was just a few inches before him, Louise hit Reva''s nose with her knee, sinking into his face. The impact of her fast speed and hot mana coursing through her body broke the ck asura''s nose and left his face burned.
"Agh!" He tripped and fell backward.
Louise nimbly jumped above him like a deer andnded before two asura, whose expressions had been twisted by a shock. Before they could wipe off the fear of their leader falling to the short woman, Louise lifted her leg and hit the man''s chin, kicking him up.
The other man tried to sink into the darkness, but Louise''s fox tails went after him. Her fire erased every drop of darkness, then one of her tails coiled around the man''s wrist.
She yanked his arm and drew him to her side.
"Ugh!" The ck asura''s body bent into an arrow shape, for Louise''s little first perfectlynded on his stomach. He vomited a mouthful of blood before dropping onto his knees.
Louise then smashed his nose, too.
And when she approached the man that had flown some meters away from her, Louise stomped on his nose as well, mauling his face with her stomps.
For some reason, the scarlet fox felt like breaking everyone''s noses.
Perhaps, she was still mad at Celes… That would exin a lot!
Atst…
[You have killed the ck asura!]
[You have killed the ck asura!]
[You have killed the ck asura!]
All three died because their skulls and brains shattered.
Their darkness couldn''t even connect with the scarlet fox! Instead, it ran away from her.
