24 Chapter 17
(Evan POV) :
Tifa somehow managed to get rid of the misunderstanding....again. and Sarah was out of breath, she probably ran here straight without stopping for a rest.
[You're *pant* lucky Tifa stopped me from killing *pant* you. Every time Tifa is alone with you *pant* you make her cry. There is no way I can trust you with her. *Pant*] (Sarah)
[S-Sis I told you that it wasn't his fault. It's just......](Tifa)
Tifa said and Started to play with her fingers and smiled a bit.
[I was happy.] (Tifa)
Sarah was shocked.
[D-Dont tell me] Sarah said as she pointed her trembling hands at me. [YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!?!]
[NOO!!] Tifa screamed and blushed a little bit.
Sarah sighed in relief then looked at me before saying [If you ever hurt Tifa remember that I will kill you.]
[Awesome. Now let's go to the elf kingdom before, you know. It's destroyed?] (Me)
[We're almost at the border. Follow me and don't go on ahead like before.] (Sarah)
I nodded and started to follow her. She would jump from trees to trees and I would use my Grappling Hook Obviously.
I kept my pace slow this time.
........
.......
.....
[We're finally here.] Sarah said and they both took off their robes. Revealing their tight black leather shirt and pants.
We were on the ground now and it's still midnight. The only thing in front of us is trees and a small path in the dense trees that leads to darkness.
[We were a bit faster this time weren't we?] (Tifa)
[It's because of Mr. Gotta Go Fast over here who couldn't give me a break........that reminds me, what was your name?] (Sarah)
[Evan... Or Reid. Whichever you prefer.] (Me)
[Alright, Evan then.] (Sarah)
I heard a small rustle from the darkness and went on guard with my shotguns equipped on both hands.
[Don't worry, it's probably just th-] Sarah couldn't complete her sentence as her eyes went wide looking at the figure coming towards us. Tifa was also shocked.
The person coming towards us was a 25-30-year-old woman with a skin as white as porcelain with long ears and yellow straight hair that almost touched the floor. She had a flower crown on her head that was decorated with.... day bloom I presume, day bloom looks like small sunflowers. She wore a long green Chinese dress which was imprinted with golden flowers as design.......her chest was also huge.
[Y-Your Highness!] They both said as they kneeled on one foot and looked down.
[W-What?] (Me)
[Ara, how are my 2 kids faring? Looks like you two brought a friend along too.] She said and looked at me.
She had the most graceful and motherly voice I have ever heard of. And I was still confused and stood still.
[Uhhh....... Hi, I'm Evan. How are ya.] (Me)
She chuckled a little and it sounded like bells Ringing in the air.
[Im fine and At ease you two. Has he caused any trouble?] (Elf queen)
They both stood up and looked at each other before looking back to the queen.
[ N-No, your highness.] (Tifa)
[Why are you lying Tifa?] (Elf Queen)
Tifa flinched at her words and Sarah sighed before looking at me with an evil grin.
"Revenge!" Was what her eyes were saying and I started sweating huge balls.
Don't you fricken dare.
[He had attempted to r*pe Tifa before. If it wasn't for me then I don't know what would've happened. And he has also made Tifa cry twice in a single day.] (Sarah)
YOU DARED!!! IT'S ON NOW BITCH!
I felt a thick killing intent from the queen and as I looked towards her I could see a thick red aura coming out of her that just said the word "angry".
[Oh, I see now. So he's here for punishment?] I couldn't believe that such a motherly voice could also feel so terrifying.
[W-Wait! it was a Misunderstanding! R-Right Tifa?] (Me)
[Tifa did he actually assault you?] (Elf queen)
[Y-Yes. But it wa-] (Tifa)
Before she could save me, a vine tangled on my leg.
[Wha-] (Me)
Before I could say anything the vine dragged me across the ground to the queen.
I saw her sharp nails moving towards my face but I moved my head slightly and avoided the attack.
Her nails dug straight to the ground right beside me and it was too close for comfort. Good thing I had my shotguns equipped.
Because she was on top of me and was also a queen I only shot once to gain some distance and I don't want to fight the elf kingdom before saving it.
*SFX: Boom*

She was launched back a bit. At least she's not on top of me anymore and I quickly got up.
[TIFA! HURRY UP AND EXPLAIN THE MISUNDERSTANDING!] (Me)
But before Tifa could do anything Sarah shot an arrow towards me.
[WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO HER HIGHNESS!?] (Sarah)
I somersaulted to the side and avoided the arrow but a force hit me from the other side and launched me towards a tree.
-34
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT DAMAGE!?
Ahem, let me rephrase that. I have 22 points of defense, which basically means that I'm wearing 2 sets of silver armor on top of each other. but even with that, I received 34 points of damage that literally means that without the armor, that hit would've done around 50-70 points of damage.
Life:160/124
I looked back and saw a thick vine almost as wide as a tree with spikes sticking out of the ground. It was waving around like it was alive and The queen came out from behind the thick vine.
What type of magic is that? It isn't from Terraira!
I switched one of the shotguns to my zombie arm and another arrow came towards me but this time I used parry(ranged).
I parried successfully and the arrow bounced up. Before it could hit the ground I used counter(ranged)
I hit the arrow with "sword" but it just went towards the ground.
Is that a fail or is it that counter doesn't actually deflect the arrow back?
I saw another vine coming towards me from the side and I used parry again.
The vine hit my sword but the force made me slide back a couple of meters.
[This is the first time someone was able to resist my magic. Tell me boy, who are you?] (Elf Queen)
[Im just a lone boy against the world. Now listen to m-] (Me)
I heard someone running towards me from behind and I quickly used parry behind me.
Sarah's silver sword collided with my zombie's arm and some Sparks flew. After finding out that she couldn't gain any advantage, she jumped back to gain distance. I could see Tifa in the background still deciding who to support.
[Do you seriously think we would let you go away after you harmed the queen!?] Sarah said with clenched teeth.
[I'm pretty sure the fate of the kingdom matters more than a small scratch on the queen.] (Me)
[YOU!] Before she rushed towards me I threw my boomerang towards her and grappled to the side to avoid another vine attack from behind.
Sarah ducked and the boomerang missed her then she took out her bow and aimed at me.
But the boomerang came back and hit the back of her head before it headed towards me.
Sarah fell head first to the ground and I could see a debuff revolving around her head. I also grabbed my boomerang.
*Concussion: stunned for 28 seconds.*
Can I see their debuffs because of the skill 'peek'?
Tifa still didn't dare to move.
[How dare You!?] (Elf Queen)
Okay, now she's really mad.
[You come to my kingdom and attack my Children! Do you really think I would let you go away easily?] (Elf Queen)
she's seriously overprotective.
[Tifa, I could use that explanation any time now.] (Me)
Tifa snapped back to reality and quickly tried to say [Y-Your majest-]
But before she could say anything the queen interrupted her. [Tifa! Take care of your sister. I will take care of this rodent.]
[You seriously don't want to listen? YOUR ENTIRE KINGDOM IS AT STAKE!!] (Me)
I tried to tell her but a giant vine came from the ground and tried to hit me.
I quickly grappled towards the queen this time and used the skill thrust imbued with spark magic.
I de-attached the Grappling Hook and it gave me the momentum I needed. The zombie's arm caught on fire and I looked like a raging fireball headed towards the queen. I saw her eyes went wide open.
She conjured a green shield of some kind and it blocked my assault completely as the fire dissipated onto the surroundings.
Hate it when the enemies also block my attacks.
{Author's Note: That's called Karma.}
She pointed her hand straight towards me and a magic circle formed in front of me. I panicked and put the zombie arm in front of me. It was way thinner than the gigantic wooden sword so I could only protect my face.
And then tons of stingers came out of the magic circle and hit me.
-20
-22 (poisoned)
*Parried*

-21
Life:160/42
Poisoned: lose 1 life per second duration 29 sec.
My body was stuck with stingers everywhere and the queen was trying her very best to breathe properly
[What's the matter? Tired already?] (Me)
[I-Impossible.*pant* nobody has been able to survive a direct hit from that.] (Elf queen)
I stood my ground and stared at her.
[Calmed down yet?] (Me)
She clenched her teeth and 3, even more, thicker Vines came out of the ground. They were the sizes of trees, No. They were bigger than the trees.
....shit.
But before I could drink a health potion. Tifa came in front of me and had her hands wide open as an attempt to protect me. She was looking towards the queen so I couldn't see her face but she sounded like she was crying.
[PLEASE STOP THIS YOUR HIGHNESS!!] (Tifa)
