Gina furrowed her brows in confusion, and Ursa and Sura exchanged puzzled glances.
"What I'm trying to say is, doesn't that mean instead of crafting a gift useful for the whole Village, Naka took the time to create something so special that it's uniquely suited to a specific individual? So, while your gift might not seem impressive compared to others, it's like a hidden, extraordinary, satisfying Kalna fruit, quietly waiting to light up someone's life," Fifi explained with a bright smile.
As Fifi finished speaking, realization instantly dawned on Sura's, Ursa's, and Gina's faces.
A bright light emerged in Gina's eyes before it shifted into a fierce yet determined expression. "Then, I've been worried for nothing. Whether it's useful or not, it doesn't matter what gift I awaken. As long as I can grow stronger and stand by all of you to protect the family, I am satisfied," Gina responded.
Fifi nodded with a warm smile. She briefly glanced aside and noticed Sura wiping away the subtle tears with her elbow as if shielding her eyes from the wind, a light smile gracing her lips.
Fifi breathed out in relief. With this, she hoped Sura would no longer feel insecure about her gift whenever something like this was mentioned.
"What's happening down there?" Gina asked abruptly, her forehead frown creasing as she noticed a strange scene unfolding below.
Fifi, Sura, and Ursa followed Gina's gaze, their eyes widening as they beheld the storm of airborne wooden debris hurtling toward them.
"Watch out!" Fifi exclaimed, springing into action. She wanted to activate her gift to draw water from the ground to block the projectiles, but time was against her. All she could do was warn Ursa.
Ursa nodded with a fierce glint in her eyes. She swiftly used her gift, creating a protective sphere of air around them all.
BANGG!!
The wreckage collided with the protective sphere of air, tilting slightly backwards before coming to a sudden halt.
Ursa and the others watched as the debris was repelled and hurtled back toward the ground. Once the immediate danger had passed, they turned their attention to the battle unfolding below.
A furrow formed on Fifi's brow as she surveyed the scene below. Three figures with long, pointed ears stood on one side, wielding large mechanical swords infused, all enveloped in dense Vylkr energy. Opposing them were about twenty warriors, two of whom were engaged outside while the remaining eighteen remained within the compound.
Their attention was fixed on a towering man clad in leather and bronze armour and a woman with blue skin and dark, curved horns protruding from her forehead. Both figures observed the unfolding confrontation with solemn gazes.
Even without a detailed confirmation, Fifi recognized the trio as the gods' chosen among the Four-eared elves. What confused her was the sudden battle with the warriors and the Four-eared elves gods' chosens.
'Is this a rebellion?' Fifi pondered before shaking her head in response. She would have to descend and understand more about the situation to find out what was going on.
Nonetheless, seeing that their battle was affecting the surrounding structures of the Second Border City and that they had already demolished the structure beside them, destroying Orion's hard work, Fifi instantly became furious.
"Bring me down, Ursa," Fifi said, turning her attention towards Ursa.
Ursa nodded and immediately utilized her gift again.
…....…..
Below them, Leif, Ursa, and Carl exerted their utmost efforts to breach the protective wall formed by the two warriors.
Despite their persistent attempts to reenter the building's compound and confront Lieutenant Evadne, the leader of 'The Sleeping Fox' runaway city 2nd unit vanguard team, who was one of the primary individuals responsible for the deaths of numerous Four-eared elves, they were continually pushed back.
"WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING THEM? TELL ME!! WHY?" Leif demanded, his voice brimming with rage, anger, and confusion as he glared at the warriors before him.
His body trembled slightly as he struggled to contain his emotions, especially upon recalling that Seig was the reason for Ronan's betrayal and subsequent death.
However, one of the warriors shook his head and stepped forward, "We are aware of the relationship between you all and Captain Seig and Luitenant Evadne, so we are willing to forget everything that had just happened as long as you leave this district because you were restricted from being here in the first place," he responded.
Hearing the warrior's words, Leif and others suddenly realized why they weren't supposed to come to this district. As it turned out, this was where the individuals who had almost led their race to extinction were residing.
An ugly expression suddenly emerged on Leif's, Leona and Carl's expressions.
"YOU BASTARDS!" Leif's scream echoed through the air as he took a step forward. In an instant, his body vanished from its position, reappearing before the warrior with his Gearweaver sword swinging sideways.
The sword vibrated with intensity, its gears shifting rapidly as though imbued with their own life, amplifying the Vylkr energy within it for the forthcoming attack.
The warrior exhaled lightly. Since they didn't want to listen to his words, just as Warrior Orion had expected, he would have to take them back to their residence unconscious.
However, just as the warrior was about to draw out his weapon and block Leif's attack again, a large stream of water erupted from the ground below them, trapping Leif before releasing him from its watery grasp.
BOOOMM!
Leif was thrown backwards, and a figure landed between the building protected by the two warriors and Leif and the others. As the dust settled, Fifi's figure became clear to everyone present.
Realizing who it was, the warriors greeted her with respect. After all, this individual before them had not only been the strongest in her generation but was also Warrior Orion's partner and one of the warriors who had joined Stronghold Leader Seth, along with Warrior Orion and several others, on a mission that shaped the Village to the way it currently stood.
Fifi nodded in response to the warriors. She turned her head and briefly scrutinized the Four-eared elves' gods' chosens that she had pushed backwards.
