Chapter 169: The Hero is Eliminated?
Chapter 169: The Hero is Eliminated?
"Looks like That Monster's poison weakened the surface....hmmm" Eli peeked at the broken ground.
"sigh" Eli sighed and leaned on the wall as he kept glancing at the pit.
"I left with only 2 healing potions and yet, I couldn't hear anything" Eli muttered still glancing at the pit.
Eli had healed his body from the injuries he had sustained in the battle....However, his hearing ability didn't seem to be healed. He could still hear ringing in his ears, and he couldn't make out any sounds from his surroundings.
Eli made a wise decision to save the remaining healing potions for an emergency. He didn't know whether they could heal his hearing, and he didn't want to waste them if they weren't necessary.
"..." After resting for a few minutes.
"They really had a perfect plan..ah" Eli muttered as he remembered how they literally annihilated Eli's team by using him as bait.
"Still...to think Scylla would take the bait" Eli's eyes turned indifferent as he turned to look in a certain direction.

Flora Continent
Looking at Eli's mutter, some people turned sad and gritted their teeth, while others were furious.
However, from the moment Eli looked in a certain direction.
"!!!"
A chill ran through their spines upon realizing, he was looking at them.
"Hmm?" Even Aadya and others who were watching other fights turned to look at him.
Eli started to speak while looking at 'them'.
"Mia, Luna...they were in a weakened state so, it's unavoidable..."
"Can he sense camera location? " Mariel muttered silently.
Mia lowered her head as she bit her lips while Luna who was searching Alexander's whereabouts glanced at Eli and scratched her head awkwardly.
"However, Zera and Scylla.....I am disappointed, to think you guys were easily swept by their intentions
I know, I know, you guys are worried about me....but if it were a real battle, you could have died"
Hearing that,
Zera averted her eyes when she felt he was looking at her intently through the camera.
'I-I-I am sorry' She told that to herself.
She didn't know what came over her to lose focus in the middle of a heated battle.
"And What with that dramatic exit? ha?
/Even though you told me to save my energy....I am sorry/" Eli mimicked Zera.
Seeing that Zera covered her flustered face.
"Zera looks like you forgot your place" Eli said indifferently.
"..." Zera's eyes turned dangerous for a second.
"Know your place, Zera, Your mother would be sad knowing you were hurt"
Zera finally understood what he meant.
Eli cannot cross any more than that....He was still a friend.
"Scylla?"
"Huh?" Scylla whose eyes were dropped down suddenly looked up then she heard her name.
"What a worried maid I have?'" Eli smiled warmly.
However, Scylla knew that was anything but warm.
"I am happy that you are worried about your Master as well as your husband....however, You shouldn't make your husband worry" Eli's smile slowly turned wicked.
Scylla who guessed what she was going to suffer.... unconsciously clenched her back.
"After I come, We are going to have a very looooong chat and Punishment shall be delivered" Eli said as he rubbed his both hands.
Eli's words and expression left the others feeling uneasy. His threat of punishment and his "pervert" expression suggested that he had something naughty in mind for Scylla.
The fact that Scylla had turned into stone also suggested that she was aware of Eli's plan and was afraid of it. Her blush could have been due to embarrassment, fear, or both.
"I also want it Big Brother" Mia who was lamenting herself suddenly shouted when she heard.
Mia's lack of concern for the people who were looking at her weirdly shows that she was not afraid to be herself and that she didn't care what others thought of her.
Well, she never cared about others in the first place.
Mariel frowned upon seeing this as Rose nudged Mariel and teased her, "Little Niece already found her partner and it seems they wanted to maintain the purity of blood"
Mariel knew Rose was smiling edge to edge.
Mariel's eyes twitched and rebuked her, "Yes, it's not like my daughter was like to marry someone who swept by food"
"Hey! I already said he was lying" Rose who smiling suddenly retorted when she heard her remark.
"Yeah, Yeah...Only god knows what happened" Mariel said sarcastically before turning.
Mariel wasn't buying that because, from the expression Luna showed, it was clear something happened between them.
"gggrrr" Rose gritted her teeth in anger, 'Damn brat!!'.
Rose glanced at Aadya for help, however, Aadya was simply sipping her tea and carefully writing something.
"Well, I think, My cute little sister is also listening....So, I know what she was thinking....maybe she already shouted at me asking for punishment" Eli said as laughed lightly.
Hearing that everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Mia who was blushing a little as she hid her face in embarrassment.
"..." This was the rare moment for others to see her embarrassment.
'My little Niece is cute....well, not as much as my younger sister though' Rose thought.
'....Damn, Is she even my daughter?' Mariel pondered as sight of her daughter.
'....He is really a Playboy' Aadya glanced at Mia before looking at the purple-haired girl who was fighting against some kind of humanoid monster.
Even Jayvald and Austin's heartbeats skipped.
However, Noah only looked at Eli before searching for Alexander.
"hahaha...anyway, I can't my cute little sister, you did your best...so there is no punishment for you....nope" Eli crossed his arms like 'X'.
Seeing that Mia laughed when she thought it was just like her brother's way of rejecting.
'Cute!' She thought.
"Well, Even if you did something wrong, I don't think I can punish....not under the fierce eyes that are ready to devour" Eli commented.
'snort'
Mia who understood his words suddenly snorted.
"I wonder whether you become as beautiful as your mother....She was really Sexy Bird, Do you think you can fly beyond her?" Eli suddenly said with a teasing expression.
His words left the entire atmosphere speechless.
Rose with a surprised expression looked at Mariel.
Aadya also did the same.
"Yes, I Fly beyond her brother.....and more importantly, I will become a more Sexy Bird than her" Mia shouted at the screen as her frustration and anger were evident in her eyes.
Those who knew Mariel Pheonix's character waited for her outburst.
However,
Her red ruby eyes indifferently looked at Eli's image before looking at Mia.
'Is he...trying to help me?' Mariel pondered after seeing her daughter's enthusing smile.
Mariel smiled inwardly as she completely forgot about 'Sexy Bird' stuff...yes, she would completely ignore it.
"Luna?"
"Huh?"
"You did a great job. Without you, we wouldn't Killed the Ove-I mean Monarch Monster and been able to withstand a sudden attack from another team....even if it was defeat, you did give it all....and I am sorry but I have a strong memory, so you know...." Eli said as he winked at her.
"..." Luna turned bright red as hid her face with her palms, 'aaaaahhhhhhhh...' she screamed inwardly.
Rose glanced at her sister before looking at Eli as a dangerous glint passed through her eyes.
"Anyhow, it seems....The Hero is either Eliminated or led to somewhere else" Eli said as he peeked at the pit before standing.
"Oh, he was waiting for Alexander" Aadya muttered as if she finally realized why he was wasting time babbling.
"Oh, so that's what it is..." Rose nodded in understanding.
"What a comradeship" Mariel also nodded in satisfaction thinking Eli wasn't the one who left his comar-
"I thought killing him here would be fun...well, whatever" Eli simply shrugged his shoulder and stood up.
"...."
The three of them were dumbfounded by his words.
"Heheh..."
"Hahaha.."
Only Mia and Scylla laughed like a villainous.
Eli stood up and patted his butt and walked towards the weapon that lying down.
He stood before his Celestria and raised his hand then,
'Tuck'
Celestria vibrated slowly and then gradually lifted from the ground, coming into his grasp.
"Sweet" Eli muttered and was about to walk away suddenly,
"How could I forget?"
Eli then with blank and dark eyes looked in the same direction.
'Gulp'
Seeing that some gulped.
"If I hear that next time, then I will make sure to teach you what means to be a Slave....Leech, Dog" Eli said as he pointed his Celestria and threw.
"sssrrrrrrrr"
The video distorted, Leaving everyone stunned.
"His sense must be very sensitive to find the Mana Camera" Aadya commented as she noted to bill the amount from him.
"..."
"..."
Jayvald and Austin weren't having any fun....They were both proud and powerful individuals, and they had never been humiliated like this before. They felt very angry and frustrated, especially since they were defeated by someone they considered to be unworthy.
Mariel glanced at the two boys before sighing, 'Looks like I am going have a rebellious and bothersome stepson and future son-in.....maybe not'.
Suddenly something caught in her view, 'Oh, it looks like another team found another Overlord'.
____________________________________________________________
Rock-Maze Dungeon
After calling his weapon, Eli started to move.
Hoping he could meet someone, Eli walked in whatever way he wanted.
On the way, he faced some Gaint Scorpions....who were anything but giant compared to the Monster, Eli and his team faced.
Still, Eli used this as a training ground....'I mean it is a training program, right?' with that thought, Eli started to train his Weapon control.
When the distance between him and the scorpion is considerable, Eli throws his Celestria as it pierces the monster without mercy.
Then without moving, he tried to recall it using the Terra Arts....and he succeeded, however, it took time and sometimes it flew over to somewhere else.
Despite every failure, Eli still trying to control.
There were times he arrived at a dead-end....no, many times he met with a dead-end.
"Okay, I am totally lost now" Eli muttered as looked at the huge pit in front of him.
Eli was exiled in everything(Self Proclaimed)....however, when it comes to direction, even with a map, he would be the first person to get lost.
"hmmm....Should I...break it?" Eli wondered whether he should shatter the bracelets or not....because he was ready to face the monarch, However, He wasn't ready to face this huge hurdle....no, he was never ready to face this.
'sigh...' Eli sighed inwardly and walked in to other direction to find something or someone.
Whether his weeping answered or....bad time for him.
Eli encountered an interesting group that was worse than him.
"Can't you even find the correct route, Simon?"
"G-give a second, Arlyne"
"But that's what you have been telling me for hours"
"...."
"Let me ask you again, we lost, right?"
"..."
"King Theo, could you please ask you-"
"W-Wait, I tell you the truth.....We Lost"
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
Simon's Team members blankly stared at him.
