Trash of the Count's Family

Book 2: Chapter 243: Lunacy, Worship. And the Way (5)

<Lunacy, Worship. And the Way (5)>

Tasha was the first to respond to Rosalyn's comment about each taking one.

“I guess that’s the one for me.”

“…Ha!”

Elf Peterson did not hold back his sneer after receiving her gaze.

“How dare a damn Dark Elf-”

His face soon stiffened as he asked.

“Who are you guys?”

“Peterson.”

However, it was an ally and not an enemy who cut him off.

The red-haired Lingling. She spoke in a mischievous tone.

"Why is that important?”

“Huh?”

Lingling looked at the confused Peterson and smiled brightly.

"We can hear about that after taking care of things. What is important right now is not having a little chat.”

Ooooo–

The air around her started to shake.

“It is to fight.”

She then addressed the enemies, as if the answer was obvious.

“Right?”

"That is true.”

Rosalyn responded to her. Furthermore, she looked at Lingling as she spoke to her allies.

“I will fight her.”

The smile became bigger on Rosalyn's face.

Ooooo—

What Lingling had rumbling around her was mana.

“An Elf but a mage… How peculiar.”

An Elf mage. Rosalyn wanted to fight against Lingling.

Witira was silent for a bit before asking.

"Will you be okay?”

Witira had realized it the moment she saw these three Elves.

She could tell that Lingling was the strongest of the three.

She could tell that Lingling would be difficult for Rosalyn to handle.

“It’s okay.”

She heard Rosalyn's calm response.

Witira still could not hide her concern before not saying anything after hearing what Rosalyn said next.

“I am aware of it.”

Witira had no plans on stopping Rosalyn, who said that she would take care of it after already knowing about the situation.

In fact, she planned on respecting her decision.

Because of that-

“You will have to come with me.”

Witira made the first move in this 3 on 3 battle.

Chhhhhhh–!

A large water whip appeared in her hand.

‘Witira-nim. All three Elves are supposedly at the level of Dragons.’

Witira recalled the information Rosalyn gave her before making up her mind.

‘First of all, the most important thing is-

I will make the first move.’

“Mm.”

Elf Yanni let out a short groan at the sudden attack.

However a large whip was already flicking down at her.

Baaaaaaaaaang—!

Snow and broken pieces of the ground shot up from the spot Yanni was standing at, and even the spots Peterson and Lingling had been standing at as well. Ŗ𝔞𝐍𝔬BΕ𝙨

Chhhhhhh-

Witira immediately pulled back her whip.

The spot that the whip had gone through looked like a tree struck by lightning as the ground had a giant dent.

However, Witira's gaze was not focused on that.

“You are a Whale.”

Tap.

Yanni, who had easily avoided the whip, landed on the ground.

Her hand was on top of the ground that had appeared once the snow disappeared from the attack of the whip.

“A Humpback Whale at that.”

“You are the first to accurately figure out my identity.”

Witira smiled as if she was amused while Yanni still remained stoic.

“It should be quite advantageous for you as well because there is a lot of snow in this area.”

“Haha. You know about that as well?”

Witira laughed with a relaxed look on her face before clenching her hand around the whip.

She could sense it.

‘It’s coming.’

Under the ground…

Boom-

Boom-

The ground started to shake.

Yanni moved her hand away from the ground.

No, she stood up while still grabbing the ground.

Pssss- Dirt had gathered in her hand and was starting to take the form of a sword.

“Oh no.”

Witira stopped smiling.

Boom!

Witira shot up into the air the moment the ground shook violently.

Baaaaang—!

The ground split open.

To be more specific, a large worm appeared and opened up its mouth.

Witira stepped on the snow while avoiding the worm.

Baaaaaang—!

However, that worm soon moved toward Witira.

Yanni also moved.

Tap. Tatatap!

She got on top of the warm and ruthlessly ran across it.

Her blonde hair fluttered in the wind. Yanni's eyes were looking only at Witira.

“You cannot let your guard down against a Humpback Whale.”

Yanni kicked off the head of the worm and slashed her sword down as she said that.

Baaaaaang!

The water and dirt exploded and intertwined.

Chhhhh-

Pss-

The water whip wrapped around the dirt sword while the dirt sword pulled to rip the whip apart.

Witira and Yanni looked at each other.

However, that short exchange of gaze ended quickly.

Baaaaang-

The dirt worm attacked the spot where Witira was standing.

Another whip appeared in Witira's hand.

Baaaaang!

The dirt and water shot into the air again and created dust clouds in the area.

Once the dust settled down a bit…

Tap.

Tap.

Witira and Yanni both landed a bit away from each other.

Witira looked at the whips in her hands as she commented.

“I guess I shouldn’t let my guard down?”

She looked forward.

Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

The worm had returned to Yanni's side and positioned itself behind her.

The way only half of its body was above ground made it resemble a guard knight.

Yanni gently petted the worm's body.

Witira spoke to her.

“Is it a highest-grade Earth Elemental?”

“Yes ma’am.”

Yanni answered honestly.

The mood was peaceful between them as if they had not exchanged blows just now.

However, Witira shook her head.

“That’s odd.”

The tip of her whip pointed at the worm.

“Its aura is so impure for being an Elemental.”

The worm was definitely made of dirt and held an Elemental's aura inside it.

However, something was different.

“It doesn’t seem to be a pure Earth Elemental. Isn't that right?”

“Haaaa.”

Yanni let out a short sigh.

She still had a stoic expression on her face but shook her head looking slightly shocked.

“Ma’am, you truly are someone I shouldn’t put my guard down around.”

Pat pat.

Yanni petted the worm.

The worm rubbed its large head against Yanni in response.

Witira had a thought while watching this.

‘That Elemental-

It is stronger than a highest-grade Elemental.’

She had never seen an Elemental King, but she had seen something that was stronger than a highest-grade Elemental but weaker than an Elemental King.

Witira spitted out the thoughts that came to mind.

“It looks like you are trying to force a highest-grade Elemental to become an Elemental King?”

Witira saw it.

Force.

She saw Yanni's gaze change the moment she said that word.

Grrrrrr—

The worm also let out a monstrous growl.

Although it had no eyes, its head turned directly toward Witira as if to show its anger.

“Did I say something wrong?”

Witira slyly said with a calm expression on her face.

Yanni clenched her sword with a stoic gaze in response.

Boom.

It was at that moment.

As Witira flinched at an extremely faint rumbling from deep underground…

Baaaaaaaaaang—–!

The ground shot up.

To be more specific, the tail of the worm shot up where Witira had been standing.

“Ugh!”

Witira urgently dodged the attack but lost her balance in the process.

“How long is that worm?”

She had not noticed it at all.

The worm must be quite long as it instantly shot up from deep underground, which was the reason Witira detected it late.

“!”

Yanni used that opening to step on the worm’s head, jump up into the air, and slash her sword toward Witira again.

Mm.’

The moment a short groan started flowing out of Witira’s mouth…

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

A strand of wind supported Witira.

Witira immediately stepped on that breeze to flip in the air.

Shh.

The sword brushed past her and Witira swung her whip.

Baaaaaang-!

“Roooooooooooooooar-”

There was a loud noise and the worm started screeching.

Pss-

The tail part of the worm that came out of the ground was starting to crumble.

The pieces of dirt fell to the ground and the worm pushed its tail back.

Witira used that opening to land a bit farther away from Yanni and the worm.

Yanni watched Witira before speaking.

“…That was as strong as most jewels. I guess Whales truly are strong.”

She then flinched.

“Haha.”

Witira was laughing.

She brushed her hair back as she sighed.

“Oh no.”

She sounded flabbergasted.

“I had my guard down.”

She talked about not having her guard down but she had been careless.

That was why she was almost hit by an attack of this level.

Witira pulled back her whips.

She then looked at Yanni and spoke in a casual tone.

“Thank you very much.”

She heard a response back.

“It was nothing.”

It was Dark Elf Tasha.

Tasha was the one who had just sent the breeze to Witira.

Swoooooooosh-

Wind was swirling with Tasha at the center.

Furthermore, there was a long spear in her hand that was even taller than her.

Tasha moved past Witira as she spoke.

“The aura of the World Tree is within their Elementals.”

Witira's eyes clouded over.

‘They must have fed the foundation of the World Tree to the Elementals!’

This Elemental was weirdly strong and moving in a way that was hard for Witira to detect. She now knew the reason.

It was at that moment.

“Mm. Okay, I made up my mind!”

Lingling, who had been quietly watching, suddenly shouted.

“Don't hide our strengths and go at full power! Be quick!”

It was at that moment.

‘!’

Witira flinched.

She looked down at her empty hands.

She had some goosebumps on her arms.

It was because of something that happened when she completely did not expect it.

Ssssssssss-

Witira looked forward.

“…That’s really at the level of a Dragon.”

The Force that the Dragon half-bloods of the subjugation squad had used…

Large auras incomparable to those Forces came out of the three Elves.

Each of their auras were truly at the level of Dragons.

“…….”

However, there was something weird.

The three Elves’ auras were similar.

None of the Dragons released the same Dragon Fear. All of them focused on causing fear as the foundation, but they all gave off different feels.

However, while these three Elves’ Dragon Fears had subtle differences, it felt as if they were strands of the same root.

“That must be the World Tree's aura.”

Witira arrived at the correct answer.

“So you do know about it, ma’am.”

Yanni looked at Witira and nonchalantly commented.

"We cannot let you live, ma’am.”

Pssss, ssss-

The ground around her moved up and down.

Yanni controlled an Earth Elemental.

Witira quietly mumbled while looking at her.

“Very incompatible.”

Although the area around them was covered in snow… This was still land.

They were surrounded by terrain.

Yanni was not an easy enemy for a Whale like Witira.

“Haaaaa.”

She let out a deep sigh.

There were still no whips in her hand. Her hand started to move again.

Plop.

Her thick coat fell to the ground.

She undid the buttons by her wrist and pulled up the sleeves of her thin shirt.

Her arm that was full of all sorts of scars was visible.

The enemy did not wait for her.

Witira was not someone Yanni could let her guard down around, after all.

“Let’s go.”

The worm kicked off the ground as soon as Yanni said that.

No, it slithered through it.

Baaaaaang-

The ground split following the worm’s movements similar to a ship cutting across the waves.

Yanni was on top of the worm.

She looked like the captain of a ship.

Their destination was Witira.

They were as swift as a ship with a tailwind.

“…….”

Witira looked at the worm swiftly charging toward her before looking around.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Shaaaa-

She could see a spot where the wind was gathering like blades.

Wind arrows were being shot out.

Bang!

That wind was sliced apart by a large spear.

“Ugh!”

However, Tasha groaned and took a few steps back.

Peterson shot more arrows toward her.

Shaaaa-

Shaaa- shaaa—

An endless array of arrows targeted Tasha. He looked as if he was playing with his prey that was guaranteed to be captured. He seemed to be finding the right moment to kill her.

Peterson smiled as he held his bow, as if that was exactly what he was thinking.

Witira looked away from there.

“…….”

Rosalyn had red mana around her, but she was not able to stand up straight.

Her legs were shaking.

Lingling was smiling while looking at her. The aura coming out of her body was the strongest of the three Elves.

Rosalyn was currently facing the full blunt of Dragon Fear.

They could use mana thanks to Cale’s aura that was surrounding this area, but unless Cale came out of the tent, saw this situation, and pushed back Lingling's aura… Rosalyn would have to face this aura head on.

Rosalyn, Tasha…

Both of them were within the domain where they could use their full strengths, but…

They were struggling because the enemies were at the level of Dragons.

That was probably why they could not fight properly.

This truly-

“I really don’t like this place.”

She heard Yanni's calm voice.

“How arrogant. Are you feeling so relaxed because you think that the Whales are stronger than Elves?”

The large worm was almost right in front of Witira now.

Witira’s hands were still empty.

“Roooooar-”

The worm opened up its large mouth as if to get revenge for the attack earlier.

As for Yanni, she had her sword out as she charged at Witira.

The Elf focused on the Whale.

Witira was standing there with both hands down at her sides. The first to attack her was the worm.

The worm's mouth accurately attacked where Witira was standing.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang-!

The explosion this time was much louder than before.

“Shit!”

Tasha flinched at that and tried to send the wind flying once more.

“Ugh!”

However, she could not do that.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Wind arrows were binding her in all directions.

“You were so confident earlier. Is this all you got? You acted like that with just this level of strength?”

Tasha could hear Peterson sneering at her but she could not say anything. She did not have time for that.

Her eyes were only focused on where Witira had been standing.

Snow and dirt…

She could not tell how things were going because the area was covered in dust.

‘Fuck!

The Elves are much stronger than we expected!

I know Choi Han will be here soon, but should we ask young master Cale-nim for help?’

As Tasha’s mind became a complicated mess…

“No!”

They heard Yanni's screech-like shout.

Peterson and Tasha…

As both of them flinched after hearing that shout…

The dust settled.

“!”

Tasha then saw it.

“Holy shit!”

She subconsciously swore.

Grrr, grrrrrr-

She heard the worm groaning.

She saw a mouth that resembled a carnivorous animal more than a typical worm.

That open mouth could not close right now.

Grrr, grrrrrr-

Witira was holding it open.

Her empty hands were holding the worm's open mouth on the top and the bottom.

Grrr, grrrrr—

The worm smell was shaking.

However, Witira did not permit the worm to close its mouth.

Veins were visible in her hands and arms.

“Ah.”

Tasha then remembered something.

‘Oh right, she’s a Whale.’

Whales were the one existence that could fight at the level of Dragons.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Magic?

Water?

Even without those things, Whales were strong because of their physical strength.

The strongest of the Whales was the Whale King and Witira was second.

Her strength did not go down because she was on land.

Baaaaang—!

The worm’s body started to shake more and more.

Witira put even more strength into her hands.

Her hands looked as if it would rip apart the worm's mouth and head.

“You dare–!”

Yanni’s eyes filled with rage the more the worm pitifully whined.

Her dirt sword immediately headed toward Witira.

Her movements were still quite calm.

Witira was holding the worm. This made it a great time to attack her.

Pss-

The moment the gold aura wrapped around the dirt sword…

That sword instantly headed toward Witira’s head.

Yanni made eye contact with Witira.

‘She’ll have to die.’

As Yanni's gaze turned vicious…

Witira’s eyes remained stoic.

Instead, she launched the strongest attack she could muster toward Yanni and the approaching dirt sword.

“Holy shit!”

Peterson subconsciously swore while watching.

It could not be helped.

The worm was moving.

No, it was picked up.

Witira continued to hold onto the worm’s mouth as she moved her hands.

The worm’s head moved with Witira’s hands at first before its body got lifted.

That body…as Witira swung her arms wide…

Baaaaaaaaaang—–

The worm’s body was swung toward Yanni.

The worm resembled the whip Witira usually used.

Yes, Witira was swinging the large worm.

Boo—-oom-!

The large worm’s body slammed into the ground and shook the area.

Someone who was watching this subconsciously spoke.

“That's crazy. As expected of a Whale.”

It was Cale.

“ Human, t, that’s amazing……!”

Cale and Raon, who were outside the tent unlike what Witira was thinking, remained invisible as they watched everything. They both gulped.

Cale tried to calm his wildly beating heart as he thought to himself.

‘I knew there was a reason Archie couldn’t start a fight against Witira.’

Cale suddenly recalled how Witira had swung her large tail in her Whale form when they first met.

‘As I expected.

She’s strong.’

Whales were strong.

As for Witira, she was even stronger.

She was extremely strong on the battlefield.

Ssssssssss-

As the dust settled, the first thing Cale saw was Witira pulling up her sleeves and…

Baaaang, bang!

Punching the worm with her fists.

Witira was on top of the large worm looking extremely shabby because her whole body was covered in dirt and dust. She was persistently holding onto the worm that was trying its best to throw her off.

Boom, boooooom!

She beat it and then beat it some more.

While doing that-

Riiiiiiip.

She grabbed its body and ripped it into two.

The worm’s body, the dirt it was made of, started to crumble.

“Oh wow……”

“Wow……”

The seven year old Dragon and the human who was wearing thick clothes because he was cold were both blankly watching what was going on.
