Chapter 678 Anna's Special Pepper Ball
The rune slowly died down, leaving an unconscious woman elf who showed the sign of waking up.
“Urgh…” groaned the woman elf before glancing in Angus’ direction.
“Err… Can you please explain what just happened?” asked Angus confusedly.
During the battle, Angus already feels Silvan’s movement and battle style are more suitable for women. In fact, all the skills Silvan used during the battle are perfect for female practitioners.
However, Angus shrugged it off, thinking it was somehow connected to the elf’s unique physiology. He didn’t expect Silvan to actually be a woman.
“Urgh… I lost.” said the woman elf while clutching her head.
“Here, take this.” said Jayna as she threw cloth to cover the elf’s half-naked body.
Jayna didn’t want the elf to entice her boyfriend with her body after she tried to kill him.
“T-Thank you. I am sorry. I should introduce myself first. My name is…” said the woman elf.
Before the elf could introduce herself, “Anna Headbut!!” said Anna while hitting the woman elf with her head.
*Bang* The woman elf immediately fell to the side, unconscious at the sudden attack.
“Hmph!! You asslicker lizard grass!! First is Big Sis. Now, Angus. Big Sis and Angus are Anna’s. Stupid meanie stinky grass!!” grumbled Anna while pouting.
“Anna!!” called Jayna and hugged her.
Jayna found the grumbling and angry Anna so cute that she couldn’t help but hug her instinctively. She gives Anna a gentle head pat while the little girl purrs and enjoys Jayna’s care.
“*Sigh* What a mess!!” said Angus before glancing and the spectator at the side.
As he guessed, Mira and her subordinate didn’t move or act. She just kept watching him from the sideline. During this past month, Angus finds out Mira’s attitude to them is like someone watching a movie but in real life.
Be there is a calamity or the whole world is destroyed, she will not care about it unless she feels like interfering with it out of boredom. For Angus, he feels Mira is like the existence which is the closest to God.
In his mind, God should be unkillable, omnipotent, almighty, and divine stuff. He finds Mira is an existence with all these criteria. Therefore, he no longer relies too much on Mira and Darren’s protection, like in Nirvas.
At that time, Mira is curious about their group and wants to know more about them. Although Angus was sure Mira could easily learn about them, she observed slowly to surprise her and amuse her.
It is like observing an ant building its colony directly without looking at any preexistence information related to it. Therefore, she will only interfere when she doesn’t like the outcome of what she saw, like God’s interference last time.
Unfortunately, Angus also notices like a child throwing old toys, Mira will eventually grow tired of them. Soon, she will no longer protect their group and just watch from the side, even if Anna gets hurt or dead. Therefore, he decides to not rely too much on this lazy Goddess.
Ignoring the Goddess-like entity, Angus returns to focus on the unconscious woman elf and angry Anna, who is trying to curse the elf non-stop. Now, he is really curious about Anna’s sudden hatred. Moreover, the little monster did not use lethal force on the elf.
“Anna, calm down. Why did you hate her so much?” asked Angus.
“Hmph!! That bi… Awwww!!” said before stopping as Jayna suddenly pinched her cheek.
“Anna, what do I say about speaking a bad word?!” said Jayna menacingly.
“Ahh… Who said the bad word?! Anna didn’t say anything. That stuck-up asslicker lizard grass said it!!” replied Anna in a hurry.
“Hmm… Don’t think you will escape punishment from this.” said Jayna coldly.
“B-But… It’s that asslicker lizard’s fault!” replied Anna in panic.
While the two girls were talking, Angus could only roll his eyes at them. Since Jayna teaches Anna about words and common knowledge, she also teaches her not to speak about bad words. Still, Angus never knows why Jayna let Anna say asslicker but not something like bitch.
Once, he asked about it and immediately regretted it as Jayna bombarded him with many non-stop thoughts. It is like taking a machine gun in the form of words. By the time she finishes complaining and grumbling, it is already the next day.
Since then, Angus never wanted to know more about Anna’s weird vocabulary and bad words from Jayna.
In the meantime, Angus approaches the unconscious woman elf warily after feeling his body and mind having some rest. Just as he comes to the elf and is confused about waking the sleeping elf, a transparent ball filled with red powder is thrown at the unconscious elf.
“That’s.. Anna’s special pepper ball!!” said Angus in surprise.
Seeing the familiar ball, Angus immediately retreats and looks at Anna holding a more similar ball in her hand. The ball touched the unconscious elf and exploded. Suddenly, the elf woman wakes up with loud sneezing before turning into a cough.
Her eyes also cry non-stop, with snot running out from her nose. She also has a loud hiccup and is unable to breathe properly.
“*Sigh* I hope she didn’t die from it.” said Angus without any intention of helping the elf woman.
The same thing also happens to Jayna as she somewhat feels relief looking at the horrible situation of the elf.
Anna’s special pepper ball is one of Anna’s creations. It is a ball made of something transparent and shows red powder inside it. At once, it looks like a water balloon toy filled with pepper for a prank.
But, the ball is surprisingly sturdy that Angus even needs to use some strength to destroy it. Magically, the ball can also easily pop like a bubble when Anna handles it.
Once someone touches the red powder inside, the person will have respiratory problems from coughing, sneezing, hiccuping, or even drowning-like sensations. The victim will also have a continuous runny nose and tears coming from their eyes.
The effect will only last for an hour before magically disappearing without a trace. However, the symptom will worsen and prolong when the victim gets in touch with any outsource water or liquid material. The effect will extend to a whole day.
In the end, Anna’s particular pepper ball is categorized as a forbidden weapon by King Leon and should never be used. This toy ball could even make the stoic king almost die crying. During that time, he gets caught in the crossfire while Anna and Gemini play a war-like game.
From a distance, Mira somehow could see a dark evil aura behind Angus, Jayna, and Anna while they were looking at the miserable elf with satisfaction.
They all have their own reason to see the elf in a miserable state. Although the situation is unclear, they still know that Silvan and the woman elf are one body, not a different person.𝐎𝗏𝓁𝐞xt.𝐜𝑜𝗆
“Urgh.. *Cough* *Hicc* Haachoo!! Help! *Hicc* *Cough* *Cough*” pleaded the elf miserably.
“Hmm… If I am not wrong, water will only make the condition worse. Jayna, why don’t you burn her.” said Angus.
“No.. No…Haachoo!!” refused the elf but could not speak further in her current condition.
Jayna pretends to not hear the elf’s plea and gives Anna to Angus before raising her one hand. Suddenly, all the fire elementals from the burning lava pool and fire in the surrounding gathered above Jayna’s head.
The fire elemental keeps gathering and forming a colossal phoenix shape. Jayna didn’t stop and kept accumulating the fire elemental until all the molten lava turned into nothing but dust.
On the other hand, the surrounding area has become very different from the presence of a giant phoenix in the sky. Without any suspense, Jayna lowers her hand and sends the fire phoenix toward the miserable elf [Wildfire Agony].
Instantly, the elf feels like burning alive. Magically, the fire is not harming the elf. However, the elf is still hot in the fire and has a burning sensation in her body. She could only scream in pain while writing inside the burning flame.
The three little families only see the burning elf without changing expressions. Their cold stare is as if telling ‘serves you right’ words.
‘No wonder Anna is so attached to them. They are so bad. I wonder if they are actually a long lost family in their past life.’ thought Mira while shaking her head at the childish act of the three young people.
They all like to prank in the most horrible way to others who hurt them. Fortunately, the fire soon died as the elf finally could be free from the burning sensation. Her respiration problem from Anna’s special pepper ball is also gone.
Just before she wants to pass out from all these horrible experiences, Anna holds a real water ball in her hand and throws it at the woman. At this instant, the woman elf remembers Angus’ previous remark about water worsening her respiration condition.
With the last bit of her strength, she forced her injured and pained body to the side to dodge the water ball. *Splash* She barely dodged the water ball from the side with a rough breath and groaned from her pained body.
“Hoo… It seems you already recovered. Now, speak?!” said Angus coldly.
