Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 341: Trial & Suppressive Device

After one week had passed since Charuli's Sect-wide announcement, every disciple promptly headed to the specified location on the Island, which was at its largest beach; it was rather beautiful, but it wasn't a place you wished to be when thousands of others were also present.

'Hmm, I could bring Elaine here, and we could have a private little date, just her, me, the sand and the ocean soaking our feet.' Mused Elif lightly with a thoughtful expression as he sat at the very back of the beach atop a palm tree with Elaine on his lap like usual.

While I was thinking about places where Elaine and I could privately express our love together without someone interfering, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Tiamat and her little group of followers finally arrive, causing me to stare at her while she did the same.

"Tch, if you have something to say, just say it, you Elf." Remarked Tiamat in slight anger as she eyed Elif, who raised an eyebrow before shaking his head while peacefully rubbing Elaine's stomach.

"I doubt a worthless lizard like yourself would be capable of understanding my words anyway, so it's best not to say anything." Said Elif passive-aggressively as he stared at Tiamat, who furiously gnashed her teeth while all her followers dangerously glared at him.

"Did some knife-eared, tree-loving human just call me... A mighty dragon, a mere lizard!?" Exclaimed Tiamat angrily, her draconic tail violently swaying through the air while she glared at Elif, who narrowed his eyes, same with Elaine, Sarah, and his servants.

"Eh, that's not really nice." Muttered Sarah with a slight frown as she rubbed her ears while eyeing Tiamat, who didn't even register her presence.

"Ho, knife-eared? Well, so be it; allow me to use my knife ears to slice your head off; your voice is beginning to irritate me. I'll be right back, dear." Said Elif with a faint smile as he angrily looked at Tiamat before kissing Elaine and setting her down while leaping off the tree, only to gracefully land on the ground.

"Hehe, the tree-loving human wants to kill me? Hilarious! I'll mount your head as a trophy on my wall!" Declared Tiamat angrily as she approached Elif, her every breath releasing dangerously hot flames.

"Hmph, savage and dirty, just like a lizard; I should expect no less from a low-breed being like yourself." Remarked Elif with a scoff as he approached Tiamat before the two stood opposite each other.

"Come, what are you waiting for, Lizard? I'll be gracious and allow you to attack first. It's the least I could do before I toss your corpse into a random forest to act as fertilizer." Said Elif pridefully with a raised eyebrow as he leaned down towards Tiamat's eye level, her rising anger causing the tips of her horns to be set ablaze.

It seemed my taunting worked as I sensed her mobilize her Qi, yet she could not even manifest it into a proper attack; an elder suddenly appeared and floated in the air at the front of the beach, causing Tiamat to stop while she lowered her hand.

"Hmph, looks like you've been saved, you knife-eared bastard; though don't worry, I'll kill you one of these days, just wait." Said Tiamat angrily as she eyed Elif before spitting on the ground and walking away, causing his face to twitch in anger.

Watching Tiamat walk away from me, I manifested a small purple palm and used it to pick up the ground where she had spit, only to toss it at her; of course, such an attack wasn't successful by any means as one of her lizard-men broke it, but that was fine, it was the principle that mattered to me. I wasn't about to allow some insignificant lizard-like Tiamat to spit before me; the disrespect wasn't something I'd ever take.

'Tsk, mood killer.' Thought Elif lightly as he turned around and floated towards the top of the palm tree, where Elaine sat on his lap while giving him kisses.
