How did we get here?
Chapter 69 - Elf and Human

Chapter 69 - Elf and Human

Mikey and Princess Eula step outside the tent. Princess Eula waves her hand at one of the Elven commanders. The Elven commander nods his head and casts a spell.

This teleports Princess Eula and Mikey into an alternate dimension that looks identical to where they just were.

"Where did the others go?" Mikey asks. "One of my comrades cast a spell, we are in an alternate dimension right now, they can see us from over there, but we can't see them here. He teleported us here to prevent us from making any big damage to the surrounding arra," Eula explains.

"I see, sounds good then... you ready?" Mikey pulls out the Duskblade.

"Let's go!" Princess Eula says, not being able to contain all of her excitement, she dashes towards Mikey while using the power of wind to boost herself.

Mikey teleports behind Eula and slashes her with his sword, however, his attack gets blocked by a gast of wind that is surrounding her. Eula turns around and attacks Mikey, who can't block her punch because it's too fast, but even though it's so fast, it isn't very powerful, so Mikey receives almost no damage.

Eula starts punching Mikey with a series of punches, they don't hurt, but the amount of them compensate for their weakness.

Mikey focuses his strenght in his right arm and punches Eula.

She smiles as wind gathers around Mikey's right arm and completely deflects his punch.

So she can just keep defending herself with her wind? Alright then. Mikey summons six spectral pirates behind trees that are out of Eula's vision.

When Mikey summons them, Eula jumps back. She starts looking around, it's almost as if she knew that he summoned them.

Princess Eula sends out wind in all directions. "I see," She says after a few seconds and the wind returns to her.

What was that about? Mikey thinks to himself and charges at Princess Eula. She speeds up through her wind and goes behind Mikey. Before he can even react, she starts unleashing a series of punches on him.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All of the Pirates shoot their flintknocks and Mikey grabs Eula by her hand, so that she can't dodge them.

"A great plan, I'll give you that. However..." All of the bullets that reach Eula get decimated by her wind.

So she can block multiple attacks at once. Mikey smiles and lets go of Eula's hand. Eula sends out a sharp wave of wind at Mikey who blocks it with his arms. The wind is so sharp that it cuts him lightly.

Time to use it.

(Some time earlier)

"This will give you an edge against that Elf, take it," Roger hands Mikey a pair of white leather gloves.

"What are these?" Mikey asks.

"Anti-wind gloves. They can counter almost any wind spell that anyone throws on you or uses it do defend themselves. However, they have quite a big cooldown, so use them very wisely," Roger points out.

"But if the negotiatons go well, there's no reason to fight right?" Mikey asks.

"True, but I think it would be good to present the strenght of humanity by defeating the strongest Elf commander, that way, they will know not to mess with us in the future." Roger reasons.

"I see," Mikey nods. "Wait, how did you get your hands on this thing?" He asks Roger.

"Don't worry about it," Roger walks away and leaves Mikey with questions.

[Do you want to activate the Anti-Wind Gloves?]

[YES]

[You have activated the "Anti-Wind Gloves"]

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter" TWICE]

Mikey uses Ultimate Footwork and the Ultimate Punch, while activating his Anti-Wind Gloves. Mikey is looking into finishing this battle with one punch.

He confuses Princess Eula not only by his speed, but also by spawning a pirate ship right in front of her and sending out all of his pirates at her.

He walks up to Eula and at the same time orders his pirates to shoot. Eula can't focus all of her defenses on Mikey, because she would get shot. She splits up her wind and Mikey's Anti-Wind Gloves allow him to go right through her defensive wind and smash her.

Eula goes flying through Mikey's ship, who proceeds to chase after her. Once he reaches her, Mikey is surprised to see Eula still standing on her feet. At that moment, something strange happens.

Princess Eula starts growing large wings made of wind, but strangely enough, before they can fully grow she starts forcing them to stop. She manages to stop it and then declares: "I think we should stop this match, if it goes any further I will have to stop holding back, and I am sure that you're hiding something up your sleeve aswell. You're much stronger than I thought you would be, human." She laughs.

Mikey nods and Eula orders one of her commanders to stop the match by crossing her arms, Mikey instinctively does the same. This is a sign of an unfinished match.

"Miss Eula!" One of the female elven commanders come rushing to her. As she sees her injury.

The elder elf, Iorhael, walks up to Eula and starts talking to her. Alexander goes to Mikey and starts asking him questions. Regarding Eula's wings and how exactly did he pierce through her defense.

(Alexander didn't know that Mikey had the Anti-Wind Gloves, he noticed that Mikey was wearing them, but didn't know their purpose)

"Well, I really just noticed that her wind shield isn't as strong as it seems. Whenever I attacked her, she had to focus her defense at the exact same spot. All I did was just make her split her defense, since I made my pirates attack her at the exact same time as my punch," Mikey answers.

"You were able to figure all of that out so quickly?" Alexander asks in a surprise.

"Yeah, is that strange?"

"It's pretty impressive to say the least, and by the way, what the hell are those pirates and that ship? I've never seen you use them." Alexander asks.

"They're my attribute, if you ask Jack or Miyu, they can tell you exactly what they're about since they fought me already." Mikey replies.

Eula approaches Mikey with a smile. "You, Mikey right? Let's fight all-out one day, I think it would be fun," She declares, so that everyone in the area could hear it. Mikey smiles back and accepts her challenge. They shake hands as a sign of promise.

The negotiatons couldn't have gone better, and as Mikey said, he was going to do all in his power to prevent any conflict from happening, not only did he manage to do that, he also became friends with an Elven princess called Eula.

The elves spend a little more time with the humans and talk about various things. Roger and Mikey meet up in a secluded place.

"So, the prediction of the old man was incorrect," Mikey tells Roger. "Either that, or his prediction is yet to come.

"The Fair Folk shall assail mortals, for they hath absconded with their domains, huh." Mikey repeats the prediction.

"Maybe the 'Fair Folk' aren't the Elves," Roger ponders.

"Maybe," Mikey replies.

"So, what's your price for the information?" Mikey asks. "Since it wasn't that much of a deciding factor, let's just say that you owe me a favor," Roger says and hops off a tree.

"I am going back to the others, don't want them to spot us talking here," Roger adds and leaves.

"Yeah, I will come after you," Mikey sits down on the ground and waits for a few seconds till Roger leaves.

"You can reveal yourself Miyu," Mikey announces and looks at a random spot next to him.

"Damn, you noticed me?" She asks and appears out of the thin air.

"I thought you told me that you were going to go your own way, maybe even leave the continent what happened to that?" He asks.

"I thought about it long and hard and decided to stick around for a bit longer. I heard about your accident, you okay now?" Miyu asks Mikey.

"Feels strange hearing that from you, but yes, I am okay now. A little bit lighter then I was, but faster. Did you want anything from me?"

...

"Actually, I came here to ask a favor, will you hear me out?" Miyu asks, leaving Mikey surprised.
