Chapter 540: Chapter 369: Painting Messenger and Big Bow Silver Knight_2

The thing Elsa most wanted to complain about was...

She placed her toes on the beam above, and a strong wind immediately came.

She withdrew her toes, ensuring she no longer touched the beam, and the wind immediately stopped.

"..."

Not even pretending, are we?

If I can’t provoke them, can’t I just avoid them?

Elsa looked at the gap in the glass window beside her, where she had been grabbed by the Painting Messengers earlier.

So she decided to jump out from here again, absolutely not dealing with these Painting Messengers on the beams.

"Goodbye."

With a wave, Elsa leapt out of the broken glass window!

"Pah——"

The bowstring sounded like thunder.

While Elsa’s body was still in midair, a thunderous big arrow suddenly struck!

Even though she twisted her body in panic, she was still shot in the thigh—no, it was pierced!

"Thunk——"

A muffled sound came, as the thunder arrow pierced her thigh and didn’t lose its power, forcibly pushing her back, smashing through the glass window and crashing into the room where the Painting Messengers were, with the arrow even embedding in the floor.

Who shot that arrow?

Elsa endured the pain and pulled out the arrow, the flesh where she had been pierced was charred by the thunder, making her entire leg numb and powerless.

The Painting Messengers threw flying knives again, and two of them, seeing her injured, seized the chance to run over from the beam.

She blocked the flying knives with her weapon while looking out through the broken glass window.

If I don’t see who sneak-attacked me, I really won’t be satisfied!

Just a little bit more forward, tilting her head’s angle, she saw it!

It was, it was two silhouettes that any adventurer who had been to Yilushier’s Cold Valley would find very familiar.

Silver Knights!

Elsa’s brain froze for a moment and only reacted after a long time.

Let’s not delve into why a Silver Knight’s arrow can pierce her thigh now, let’s just assume all monsters in Yanor Londo get strengthened.

Why are they there!

She clearly remembered she had just jumped down from the opposite great road, stepped on the beam to get here, and didn’t see a single monster when she came.

But now, when she wanted to go back, two Big Bow enhanced Silver Knights suddenly appeared opposite the beam?

Elsa glanced at the group of Painting Messengers wanting to take her life while she’s down and decided to make a desperate rush forward.

Rushing across the beam guarded by the two Big Bow Silver Knights!

She drank from an Elemental Bottle to heal the wound on her thigh, and as soon as she stepped out of the glass window, two lightning arrows immediately shot over, which she deftly dodged as she dashed out while they readied their bows.

However, before she ran a few steps, the Silver Knights fired again!

It seems their shooting power isn’t the only thing enhanced; even their speed has seen a notable improvement.

Elsa raised her great sword to block but was pushed back a few steps by the returning force, looking back.

She had run four steps, only to step back three...

No matter, as long as I persist—

"Pah pah!"

Two more arrows shot this time, even "bumping" her back inside the glass window.

No words left to say.

The early alert looking Painting Messengers immediately attacked; while Elsa turned to counter, she constantly had to keep an eye on her back, who knows when those Silver Knights might launch a sneak attack at her back.

Yet something miraculous happened, when she retreated inside the building, the Silver Knights ceased their attacks.

More and more Painting Messengers came; Elsa leapt back to avoid an attack, but accidentally jumped out of the window.

In that instant, the Painting Messengers’ attacks stopped, and the Silver Knights once again pulled their bowstrings taut.

"...I get it."

These two types of monsters have clearly demarcated areas, absolutely not dealing with the other party’s affairs.

But knowing this ridiculous thing, what use is it!

A group of Painting Messengers closing in and two Silver Knights standing opposite the beam...

I choose the former.

Elsa hesitated for no more than a few seconds before choosing to engage with the latter, being very confident in her close combat abilities, she believed she could win at such close range.

Then there’s only one answer, come to battle!

She turned her head and looked behind her, her gaze seemed to harbor a lion.

With a "whoosh", the gathered Painting Messengers scattered like birds and beasts, quickly returning to their work positions on the beams.

In a blink, the Painting Messengers gathered before her vanished, if she wanted to battle them, she’d have to go to the beams.

Elsa’s breathing deepened, grew heavier, and picked up pace.

Her face turned red-hot—red, like a ripe apple.

She now felt as if she had inadvertently fallen into a trap that Sain Dungeon had meticulously laid for her, and she couldn’t escape.

Damn it, if I could use Magic... even having a bow and arrow wouldn’t render me this vulnerable.

She could use Magic, like everyone else she knew a couple of ordinary Luminous Stone Magic spells, but she didn’t have a Magic Wand, she wasn’t accustomed to carrying one!

Even though it’s possible to cast without a wand, the spells cast with her ability without a wand would probably be underwhelming.

"I’ll... go all out!"

Elsa gathered her courage, stepping onto the beam charging toward the Painting Messengers.

...

"Back already?"

The voice of the Brass Woman came from by the bonfire, even with a hint of amusement in her tone.

Elsa’s face was dark, she said nothing.

That group of Painting Messengers played dirty, waiting until she was in the middle of the beam and had no retreat to collectively charge and turn themselves into human cannons, knocking her off the beam to perish together.

She was almost a senior in Sain Dungeon, seen crazed, foolish monsters, but this was the first she saw a monster that wanted to drag her along as they perished together.

"Let me give you a piece of advice," the Brass Woman’s voice resounded "Have you been to the Northern Undead Asylum? No, right, then you haven’t acquired the credentials to enter the Painting World, so there was absolutely no need to fight that group of Painting Messengers, you had no reason for conflict from the start."

"I don’t even understand, why did you provoke them in the first place."

This sounded like a consolation, but Elsa’s face only grew darker.

Why did I have to provoke the Painting Messengers, wasn’t it for not wanting to fight those two Stone Statue Ghosts, and I had no idea what this group of Painting Messengers was up to, they started attacking as soon as they saw me, of course I’d retaliate.

Sometimes it just feels baffling, I don’t even know why these monsters want to fight me.

"Here’s a suggestion for you."

The Brass Woman shifted her position, leaning against the wall.

"I’ve seen off many Warriors, most didn’t come back after entering, compared to them, your skills are somewhat lacking, so I think, you need a comrade."

She bluntly stated, pointing at Elsa.

"I can see it, you too bear an oath, coincidentally, just after you left, someone with the same oath as yours arrived here too, I pointed him the way, and he took the exact same path as you."

"My experience in identifying people tells me, he was an extraordinarily formidable Warrior and seemed quite helpful, if you set out now to catch up, you might come across him."

Is this a hint from the residual shadow?

Elsa stood up, just then, the Brass Woman handed her a round object, saying:

"He left this behind earlier, help him bring it along."

It was an item familiar to adventurers:

The Sun Badge.
