Elisha and Carol both felt the creepy atmosphere. Elisha quickly ran to look at the girls near the gate worried about them but, the monster didn't allow her to get close to them.

"Eldoraa! What did you do to my girls?" Elisha felt her patience coming to its limit seeing all the bodies, she had no idea whether they were alive or dead, the only thing she saw was the black colour smoke coming out of their bodies.

"Hahhh~ Behold humans, the power of our lord, I will kill every single one of you especially you bitch," Eldora was the perfect example of a mad woman with her bloody face and her maniacal laugh.

Elisha wanted to quickly take the girls to treat them but, with all the dark elves and the big monster, she felt hopeless. Carol also had no idea what to do,

"Chief get away from there," Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice. Elisha turned around knowing who it was.

"Nara, just in time, where have you been all this time?" Elisha asked her making Nara frown at her.

"Did you forget? You're the one who gave me so many guards girls, they didn't let me come here, since I felt this dirty creature I had no choice but to escape from there," Nara said while looking at the destruction near the gate.

The walls were broken and the gate was nowhere to be found and the blood, but the most important thing she felt was that dirty creature and smoke coming out of the cursed girls.

"How unpleasant! What's this?" Nara questioned both Carol and Elisha.

"That's the question we should ask from you, that bitch over there is killing everyone telling us to hand over you," Carol said pointing at Eldora who was looking at Nara with a big smile.

"I feel it, I feel it, you're that person, aren't you? Light mage please die for me, you're a huge threat to our lord," The monster who was frozen until now suddenly turned in the direction of Nara.

"That monster! What did you do to it? It's in utter pain and sadness," Due to her light magic power, she felt all the negative emotions in the atmosphere. She felt like puking seeing all the unpleasant black smoke.

"Oh, this one? This monster is called Centicore, quite a powerful one, but I captured it thanks to those small ones, I turned all of them into living puppets of mine,"

"Ah yeah, I think they are the children of this one, that must be why she surrender quite easily to me," Eldora boasted about how she gained a super-powerful monster.

Nara, Elisha and Carol felt extremely disgusted hearing her words, Who in this world doesn't love their children, taking someone's children and killing them in front of her is the most despicable thing one can do. Until now they thought she was a crazy woman but now they see her as some kind of a devil or a real monster.

"Nara, what happened to those girls? Are they dead?" Elisha questioned her while pointing at the girls who were giving black smoke.

"They are alive for now but not for too long, I think she used the same curse that she used to kill that monster, in another few hours they will completely turn into her puppets," Nara's words caused Elisha to bite her lip with anger.

"Damn it this devil! Can you do something about it? Apparently, she's scared of your light magic," To her question, Nara quickly nodded her head giving approval.

"Good! You can do it, we will protect you, we can't let anyone die again, not like this,"

Carol and Elisha covered Nara who was treating the cursed people with her light magic, by now all the dark elves had entered the city or escaped somewhere so Usha and Eva quickly came down from their position to see how's the situation near the gate.historical

They couldn't help but worry seeing the situation near it,

"We are here to help, chief," Usha got into her position with Elisha who was guarding Nara against dark elves,

Nara gave the message telling Elisha that she finished treating all the girls who were charged as they were protecting her for quite a few minutes.

"Nara, do me a favour, take Usha and Eva and run away from here, ask those girls to carry these girls too," Elisha whispered so others won't hear about it.

"What are you talking about? Do you really think I will do that? I won't abandon you," She didn't want to do it but the next words of Elisha caused her to change her mind quickly,

"Nara, you're being a liability here, we can't fight while protecting you guys, so just go and do your job of taking care of this strange curse," Elisha's words were so harsh that Nara went silent hearing them.

The dark elves were attacking them continuously, and even though their own army helped Elisha, the most they could do was damage these warriors in front of her. None of them was able to damage the monster or Eldora.

Nara decided to act as Elisha told her but before she went back she quickly chanted a holy blessing on Elisha and Carol,

"Now you two won't get affected by any of these negative smokes, I hope this will be enough," Nara said signalling some soldiers to follow her.

Elisha looked at her thankfully, until now she had no idea how to deal with these black smokes.

Carol ordered them to carry Usha and Eva back to the city so that they won't get harmed by these strange things.

"I don't want to! Chief stop this, I can help you"

"Mother!" Usha and Eva both were shouting at them while getting grabbed back to the city. Nara was following them under the order of Elisha.

Elisha and Carol both heard their daughter's words of objection but they decided to ignore them.

"Sorry, Carol for grabbing you into all this," Elisha looked at Carol who had a determined look on her face.

"What are you talking about? Remember we always help each other," She said with a light smile.

"I guess, this might be our last fight, let's go all out," Both Carol and Elisha had no confidence in defeating Eldora but, they wanted to at least damage her fatally so she won't mess with the city again.

Since they had the holy blessing the effect of the curse on them was very low but, still, it was a decisive fight for them.

"Yeah, let's go all out," Carol said while giving a light-hearted smile.

"May goddess take care of us," Both of them uttered at the same time while running toward the monster with their weapons aimed at the throat of Eldora.

While Elisha and Carol were fighting with Eldora, Nara took Usha and Eva to a safe place. Both of them were talented children but, Nara had to protect them because they were the future of the tribe including her own daughter.

Nara didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that her own daughter, Nym had gone to the forest to find herbs and flowers at this time. Normally, she would return when it was time for food or when the forest gets dangerous with the sunset.

"Aunty, why did you bring us here like this, we could have helped mother," Usha questioned her to which Nara answered rather briefly,

"It was your mother's request, honestly if you were my daughter I would have done the same thing, forget about it even if you were not my daughter I would have done the same thing, I can understand her feelings," Nara's words made sense to Usha as she was a mother herself.

"Eva, you too, Carol wanted your safety so don't think wrong about them,"

She was healing many cursed people while talking to them, the people in the town were also cursed by some random cursed users that entered the city so as one of the two light magic users in the city, she had to do her job.

Luckily nobody knew about her daughter yet, otherwise, she would have also been a target for Eldora.

Since Nym's power was weaker than Nara, they couldn't identify her otherwise it would have been a disaster for her.

Even though, Usha and Eva weren't allowed to fight near the main gate still they got the chance to kill some random curse users who tried to attack the place where they healed people.

They notice something strange after a little while, the number of attacks they had to face got decreased little by little making them confused.

"Did we win or something?" Eva asked looking at Usha who was just as interested as she was.

They couldn't bask in the enjoyment of assuming they won this battle as one of the girls came running into the building where they were staying,

"Nara! Nara! Bad news, I heard our chiefs lost the battle," She was panicked while talking with them.

"Whaat? Impossible," Nara felt her legs becoming weak hearing it, Usha felt her whole mind going blank hearing her words.

"Nooo, Nooo, they can't be losing," Eva wasn't in a good condition either with her hand gripping so hard that blood started to come out of it.

"Let's go quickly and help, I hope it's not too late," Usha suggested to which others also agreed.

First, they left those two alone because they are the most powerful duo in the tribe right now, but if they had been defeated that means it will be either the end for them or fighting back for their life.

All the girls who were not injured and still were in a good shape followed them to help their chiefs, but the spectacle in front of them caused all of them to open their mouths wide with surprise.
