Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 371: Ibeiya’s Blood

The appearance of dark elves was not at all inferior to normal elves. Distinguishing them from normal elves was different if one relied on their appearance alone, but the strong death energy around them could be sensed as long as one concentrated.

“Do we have beef with each other?” Xiao Lin felt that he did not know the other party.

Rather than answering, the dark eld immediately took out two short blades from behind. Poison seemed to be laced on the edge of the light blue blade. The blade’s glow shone in a captivating manner, and he sneered slightly before saying, “Why do you need to ask that much? You’ll understand when you go back with me.”

Xiao Lin frowned in thought before asking in suspiciously, “Asabanor?”

“You’re not stupid, I’ll give you that.”

“Damn it! That damned freak still isn’t letting me go!” Xiao Lin was shocked and angry.

“It’s too late to regret now. You’re no match for me, so are you coming along or shall I kidnap you myself?”

“What does Asabanor want me to do?”

“Who knows.”

“Heh! His purpose is nothing more than to drive us humans out of this world. Do you think I’ll help him? ”

The dark elf chuckled softly as he fiddled with a short blade in his hand. He was not in a hurry to make a move, which only showed that he was confident in bringing Xiao Lin away. In fact, he did not seem to mind chatting with Xiao Lin for a bit, because it was obvious that he was equally as curious about Xiao Lin too. “Asabanor said that you’re a man of God’s gift. Show me how different you really are!”

A strange light flashed in Ibeiya’s pupils when she heard those words. She turned her head to look at Xiao Lin, and as soon as her lips squirmed slightly as if she was about to say something, the dark elf no longer gave her any opportunity to utter a single word.

The dark elf’s speed was extremely fast and he had rushed before Xiao Lin in the blink of an eye. However, Xiao Lin’s guard had been up for some time already, and the Holy Soul Sword was already raring to go right from the outset. He hacked down unhesitatingly, but the dark elf’s movements were much quicker than he had expected. The trajectory of the it’s attack changed mid-air, like a snake.

The short blade lightly slashed across Xiao Lin’s body, carving out a line of blood that bled out at once, staining the yellow sand. The dark elf stepped back slightly and easily avoided Xiao Lin’s blade, moving with exceptional agility throughout the entire process.

Xiao Lin’s body trembled violently and he staggered back a couple of steps. He was wearing a Bronze-rank chain armor that he spent more than a thousand New Dollars on in Gold City, but it was as thin as paper against the dark elf’s attack. The defensive power of chain armor was not as good as heavy armor, but few people wore heavy plate armor unless it was for military combat.

The wound was not deep, and since Xiao Lin had his own self-healing ability, a cut of that level was unlikely to affect his movements. However, the dim blue glow on the opponent’s blade was still rather worrying.

Sure enough, the dark elf did not continue to attack after landing a successful blow. He simply said coldly, “This short blade of mine is named Dark Night. The toxins that are smeared on the blade are collected from my hometown. You don’t need to look at me like that. It’s your lucky day today, because Asabanor wants you alive, so I temporarily replaced the toxin with a paralytic agent. Although it’s not fatal, you won’t be able to wake up in the next two days.”

Xiao Lin was immediately taken aback. He discovered that his vision was starting to blur, while his whole body became weak and even his strength to grip the hilt was quickly receding.

With his blurry vision, he saw the dark elf walking toward him step by step, as if wanting to take him away.

“Uncle! You can’t faint!” Ibeiya was aware of worsening situation and quickly supported the ditzy Xiao Lin. She desperately pinched his face, but to no avail. She turned angry before asking, “What did you do to him!”

“It’s useless. Humans are unable to dispel the effects of our clan’s poison. Asabanor said that you’re different too. In that case, you can come back with us too.”

Ibeiya snorted coldly, and the expression between her eyebrows changed several times. All of a sudden, she seemed to have made up her mind. She opened her small mouth and bit down on her fair wrist. The force of the bite was so great that the little girl’s face suddenly had a look of intense pain. Tears even began to well up in her eyes, but instead of letting go, she bit down even tighter.

A few seconds later, Ibeiya suddenly let go. The corners of her mouth and wrists were covered with scarlet blood, which trickled down her arms. She quickly shoved the hideous wound to Xiao Lin’s mouth and whispered, “Uncle! Hurry up and drink it! Hurry up! ”

The dark elf had a look of disdain, but the scene took him by surprise. He stopped and waited quietly.

Xiao Lin’s consciousness was still hazy. He had to admit that the elves were incredibly proficient with those kinds of paralytic medications. He had seen it during the monthly exam, and could only blame himself for not being prepared. The paralysis stemmed from his nerves and they directly cut off his facial features from the outside world.

Amidst his blurry state however, he suddenly felt that there was some kind of cold liquid pouring into his mouth. It slowly trickled down his throat, into his lungs, as if being washed by a cold spring. The restlessness in his body gradually subsided too.

It felt so comfortable that Xiao Lin began sucking even more fervently. The cold liquid had a certain smell to it, but there was also a light fragrance and taste imparted in it. It tasted quite good, surprisingly.

Gradually, Xiao Lin felt that his five senses were gradually recovering and his sight was once again restored. Then, he saw a pair of fair wrists, with strikingly obvious scarlet wounds. The gurgling blood made him understand what the strange liquid was.

Ibeiya’s eyes were still a little red, but once Xiao Lin was awake, she wiped her tears and said with joy, “Uncle! You’re all right!”

“Your hand! Your blood?” Xiao Lin understood what happened but was slightly confused at the same time.

“How interesting! The blood of the true ancestor, tsk tsk, this is really interesting! Asabanor was right, I really have to take both of you away!”

The dark elf did not give Xiao Lin and Ibeiya a chance to chat. He tiptoed and immediately sped up again. Xiao Lin also pushed Ibeiya away too, then activated his Miracle state at once. He used the Phantom Steps to avoid the dark elf’s full-speed attack and he did not dare to let the short blade touch him again.

“Your speed is fast! But it’s foolish to compare speed with us elves!”

The dark elf suddenly changed course midway through the attack. Compared to Xiao Lin, the dark elf’s speed not only heightened, but his body was more flexible than first imagined. He twisted his body quickly in mid-air, as if he were performing gymnastics. His blade technique was simple, but its angle was quite tricky, so much so that it would be difficult to dodge even if his Phantom Steps were pushed to its limit.
