Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 269: Fighting Against the First Elder

Nathalie instantly turned to the veiled woman floating two meters above the ground.

’Isn’t she the woman from two days ago?’

She finally knew why the unknown veiled woman could destroy her attack easily.

’I will kill her!’

She changed her target instantly.

Sure, she wanted to kill Ren so badly.

However, killing Althea was more important because her death would instantly win them the war.

’Die, Crazy Queen!’

The moment she lifted her right hand forward, twenty thorned vines burst forth, aiming to kill Althea.

But before they could reach her, Ren used the Lightning Movement skill and cut down all the thorned vines.

"Your opponent is me, not her." Ren would not let her touch Althea because her support magic was crucial to winning the war.

"Do you think you can protect her?" Nathalie commanded twenty thorned vines to attack Althea again.

And like before, Ren cut them down easily.

But at the same time, thirty thorned vines rushed toward Althea from behind her.

They were surrounded by ancient trees, so Nathalie could launch attacks at Althea from every direction without taking a single step.

’This battlefield is under my control. It’s impossible for you to protect her when the forest itself listens to me.’

Her lips curled into a grin as the thirty vines closed in on Althea.

Althea, who noticed the incoming attack, tensed slightly.

’Should I deactivate the magic?’

She could not protect herself while performing the Azure Blessing magic.

She even could not move from her spot.

Azure Blessing magic required complete focus and constant mana flow, so any distraction could break it instantly.

’Dangerous! They can’t protect me from her attack!’

The soldiers she had assigned to protect her before the war were being killed one by one.

Even Commander Raiden could not stop the thorned vines from reaching her because they kept coming from all directions without pause.

’No! It about to hit me!’

When Althea was about to deactivate the magic, a golden bell materialized, enveloping her and protecting her from the thorned vines.

*Ding...Ding...Ding...Ding...

All the thorned vines were destroyed by its passive ability the moment they came into contact with the golden bell.

Commander Raiden let out a sigh of relief while Queen Althea’s tense expression slowly turned into a soft smile.

Ren appeared and protected her when she was in a tight situation, so her heart could not help but soften at the sight of him.

"Just focus on your magic. I will protect you." Ren said as he smiled.

"Very well. I will entrust my safety to you, then." She focused on her magic again.

Ren shifted his gaze to Commander Raiden and said, "Commander Raiden, leave her in my care. Your subordinates need your support now."

"Alright." Commander Raiden listened to him immediately as if Ren were his superior.

Once Commander Raiden left, Ren created five clones.

The first clone protected Althea with Golden Bell Divine Shield skill, while the other four surrounded her on all sides, cutting down the incoming thorned vines with precise strikes.

"Finger of Death." Ren hadn’t attacked Nathalie even once before, but now he decided to go on the offensive.

Nathalie lifted her head when the sky twisted into a vortex of spiraling dark clouds.

She knew he was using a powerful skill, but there was no hint of fear or terror on her face, as if his attack was nothing in her eyes.

’A divine skill, huh?’

As the massive golden finger emerged from the swirling clouds, countless vines surged upward, weaving into a giant fist that shot toward the descending finger.

Boom!

The two powerful attacks collided in mid-air with a deafening explosion.

Right after the clash, crack lines spread rapidly across the golden finger’s surface.

Then, in a burst of dazzling flashes, the massive finger shattered into pieces.

Golden fragments rained down like countless raindrops, vanishing before they could reach the ground.

Even though the vine fist was destroyed, the arm remained standing, showing its strength surpassed the golden finger’s.

"Your skill is not bad, but it’s still too weak to defeat me." Nathalie made fun of Ren.

"Then, I will attack you directly now." He created five clones, and all of them rushed toward her using the Lightning Movement skill.

Nathalie tried to stop them, but her efforts were in vain because they moved too fast and effortlessly destroyed the thorned vines in their path.

’Tch!’

She clicked her tongue.

’Since the vines are too slow, then I will stop you with the leaves.’

The moment she lifted her right hand forward, countless leaves fell from the trees and shot toward them like arrows.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three of Ren’s clones were hit by the leaves and vanished in an instant.

However, the real Ren, along with his remaining two clones, showed no reaction to it and kept rushing toward Nathalie.

Once they were close to her, they attacked her with magic and skills.

*Slash...

Nathalie’s right arm flew into the air, and her blood scattered like morning dews, painting the vines and leaves red.

Just as Ren was about to cut off her neck, two massive vine fists shot toward him, forcing him to change his mind and take two long steps back.

"Too bad we didn’t manage to cut off her head," the third clone spoke abruptly.

"Well, at least, we got her right arm. I’m sure she can’t fight as well as before now." The fifth clone replied.

Nathalie’s lips curled up into a grin upon hearing their words. "So, you think I’m weaker now? Then watch carefully."

The moment she slammed her right hand on the ground, the ancient trees around them reacted instantly.

Massive roots surged up around her like loyal guards, protecting her from Ren.

Then, the ground pulsed twice, and a stream of glowing green energy surged up from the soil into her body.

Her veins glowed like vines filled with life essence.

Where her arm had been severed, new muscles resembling bark began twisting and spiraling outward from the wound.

Leaves bloomed briefly along the growing limb before withering and falling away, leaving behind regenerated flesh and bone.

In mere seconds, her right hand had reformed.

She opened and closed her fingers once.

No pain.

No weakness.

Just like her previous right hand.

Nathalie rose to her feet and showed her new right hand to him. "Within my forest, no one can injure me, including you."

The corner of Ren’s lips twitched.

’System, are you really sure you don’t recommend me copying her magic? Her magic is so amazing, you know? She could even regenerate her lost arm. Isn’t that basically like having an immortal body?’

A desire to copy her magic appeared again because he really liked the forest’s regeneration ability.

[Host, remember. We are only on a small continent. You will regret it if you copy her magic.]

Then, his system told him the weakness of her magic.

Forest!

As long as he cut down the forest or fought her outside of it, her magic would become meaningless.

She even revealed her weakness directly because she previously said no one could injure her as long as she was within her forest.

[Host, stop playing around and kill her immediately. You will lose more underlings and candidates if you don’t finish her quickly.]

’Well, it seems like I need to use my trump card now.’
