In the face of this sudden scene, both the enemy and his allies were shocked.
The adventurers didn't expect that someone would jump out of the carriage at this time to "court death", and Elyse didn't expect such a change at all.
But as a Warlock born in the Underdark, Elyse's adaptability was quite strong. As the saying went, there must be a demon in the abnormal situation. Seeing that someone faced her attack head-on instead of dodging, Elyse immediately sensed the danger, so she did not hesitate to interrupt the guidance of the spell, and then quickly retreated to the side with a series of afterimages.
Almost at the same time, the figure also collided with Elyse's spell.
"Kacha … Squeak …!"
However, the explosion that everyone expected didn't happen. On the contrary, accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, a hexagonal magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of the figure, blocking Elise's attack. Not only that, but the moment Elise's magic beam hit the magic barrier, the entire magic barrier suddenly rebounded and flew back to the place where it was shot.
However, because Elyse had already canceled the channeling of magic power, and hitting the barrier in front of her had consumed most of its power, the magic beam didn't last long before disappearing into the air. It transformed back into the original magic energy and completely decomposed.
What's going on?
Elyse frowned and stared at the petite figure in front of her vigilantly. The other party looked like a little girl, probably about the same age as Pattilina. She wore a plain maid's outfit and was standing there quietly, staring ahead with a pair of pitch-black eyes.
"Miss Sally!"
Upon seeing the appearance of the maid, the adventurers seemed to be taken aback. Of course, they knew that this maid was the personal attendant of that noble, but they didn't expect her to actually possess such power. Even the red-robed mage widened his eyes in surprise, not daring to believe this scene.
As a spellcaster, he knew better than his companions what it meant to be able to reflect spells.
But Elyse's response also made the red-robed mage feel apprehensive. In his opinion, reflecting spells was something that ordinary people simply wouldn't think about, but this attacker in the darkness seemed to have already taken precautions against it. Seeing that the timing wasn't right, she directly interrupted the channeling of the spell. Such a technique was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
But it was no wonder that the Underdark where Elyse lived was not comparable to the surface. There, even the weakest and cutest creature might have a fatal killer move.
The first reaction of the creatures in the Underdark in battle was to raise their vigilance to guard against the possible hidden killer moves of the opponent, and this battle instinct was also branded in Elyse's body.
Not to mention that it was a little girl standing in front of her, even if it was a crab standing in front of her, she would still choose to avoid it.
"Huh?"
But looking at this scene, Zayen could not help but let out a cry of surprise filled with doubt.
With the help of the Evil Eye, of course, he saw the maid clearly. But what surprised Jenn was that this maid didn't belong to either of the two souls in the carriage. On the contrary, if he activated the [Evil Eye], then this maid actually belonged to the 'magic tool' that Jenn mistook as the 'Ring Staff' in the carriage.
What's going on?
Jenn continuously activated several observation methods of the [Evil Eye], but this maid in his eyes was still full of strong magical aura, but there was no imprint of the soul flame at all.
This meant that this girl in front of him wasn't human, not even a living being, but a magical tool.
Thinking of this, Jenn rolled his eyes and sneered.
He already knew what the other party was. If Jenn didn't guess wrong, this should be a product of the Carlosia Secret Association — the Magic Marionette.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this was a magical robot. During the Second Heaven and Earth War, these Magic Marionettes were the main force of the Carlosia Secret Association and had many confrontations with the Demons. This was because the Demons' favorite thing to do on the battlefield was to apply all kinds of large-scale debuffs, and as living beings, humans naturally didn't have any advantages in the clouds and cursed lands full of fatal toxins.
And the appearance of the Magic Marionettes was to deal with this situation.
Back then, the Carlosia Secret Association created a large number of Magic Marionettes. Although they themselves couldn't be considered powerful and could only be controlled by mages from a distance, the Magic Marionettes weren't afraid of debuffs, and they wouldn't affect morale. If they couldn't defeat the enemy, they could also self-destruct to kill the enemy. These various characteristics could also restrain most of the sinister and cunning methods of the Demons.
During the Second Heaven and Earth War, the Magic Marionettes were considered one of the more difficult enemies for the Demons to deal with.
But after that, the manufacturing method of the Magic Marionettes was gradually lost. Jenn only heard that the Carlosia Secret Association seemed to have gone mad and intended to create a Magic Marionette with a soul. In the end, the Demons sent evil spirits to take advantage of the situation and completely destroy the entire association.
But he didn't expect to see a Magic Marionette here.
He had to admit that the Mage Association was indeed capable. But it was a pity that no matter how cunning a fox was, it couldn't beat a good hunter.
Jenn had more or less guessed that the Ring Staff must be placed in this maid's body.
As a Magic Marionette, she didn't need to eat or rest, so naturally, she didn't need organs. It wasn't a problem for her to put a staff in her body.
But Jenn didn't tell Elyse about this matter because he believed that Elyse should be able to handle it.
It was just a Magic Marionette. It might be troublesome if there was a group of them, but a single Magic Marionette wasn't a big threat to Elyse. If she couldn't even deal with such a thing, she would have died in the Underdark long ago.
In fact, just as Jenn had guessed, Elyse immediately changed his approach after realizing that something was wrong.
She stretched out her hand again and released a series of negative energy missiles, which bombarded the maid in front of her like a storm. However, the maid had obviously strengthened her defense. The light of the magic shield only flickered a few times, and it blocked all the magic missiles released by Elyse.
But even so, the maid didn't respond at all.
Seeing this scene, Elyse had already noticed that the girl was abnormal. The danger of spellcasters was that the spells they released contained negative energy, and as long as the opponent faced these spells, there was a danger of being eroded by the negative energy.
But now, this maid didn't respond at all. It seemed that the negative energy didn't have any effect on her at all …
Just as Elyse pondered, the maid made her move.
She extended her right arm and a dagger appeared in her palm. At the next moment, magical radiance emanated from her body and the petite figure pounced on Elyse like a cheetah.
Here it comes!
Elyse didn't panic. She had long guessed that the other party wouldn't take a beating passively.
At that moment, Elyse also extended her arm. At the next moment, a scimitar flickering in the color of blood appeared in her hand. As a half-vampire, Elyse's physique and strength far exceeded that of humans. As a Warlock, she naturally learned melee combat skills, so she wasn't at a loss in melee combat like most spell casters.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The swords clashed, and a series of flames emerged from the darkness. The bright red scimitar in Elyse's hand slashed through the air, hitting the opponent's dagger again and again. The two figures quickly tangled together, and then quickly separated.
Elyse held the scimitar in her right hand while her left hand streaked across the air. Then, a scarlet cloud emerged and shrouded the chariot.
She took a step forward and once again tangled with the little maid.
The little maid's strength was greater than Elyse had imagined. It wasn't like the strength of an ordinary child at all. But to Elyse, this wasn't a big deal.
Swish!
The little maid stabbed her dagger down. Elyse dodged sideways and the scimitar in her hand slashed at the little maid's neck.
In the face of Elyse's attack, the little maid had no intention of dodging at all. On the contrary, she leaped forward and rushed into Elyse's embrace, looking like she wouldn't rest until she was dead.
But Elyse wasn't a fool. Upon witnessing the little maid's action, she immediately withdrew her scimitar and held it in front of her to resist another attack. At the same time, she clenched her left fist and swung it forward.
Boom!!
Elyse's' Friendly Face-breaking Fist 'hit the little maid's face without any fancy moves. A violent flame suddenly erupted, wrapping the little maid's entire head in it. The petite body also flew backward under Elyse's full blow. After smashing the trees next to her, she fell into the bushes. For a time, the flame spread with an almost suffocating high temperature.
Seeing this scene, almost everyone was stunned.
Those adventurers couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, looking at the direction where the little maid fell with a horrified and uneasy gaze.
They didn't expect the other party to be so powerful that even this seemingly powerful little maid was easily knocked down to the ground.
Who is the other party?
But just as everyone was dumbfounded, suddenly, there was a wild roar. Then, at the next moment, a silver-white brilliance crossed the sky and fell straight toward the little maid.
