With the spirits now out of the picture, I turned to face Lilium again. But that only brought an expression of shame and anger to her face.

“And now you make fun of me?!” Apparently opting for a fair fight, rather than use my overwhelming advantage to crush her, didn’t sit well with her.

I guess I couldn’t blame her for that. She was the one who brought the spirits into this...okay, I didn’t want to actually acknowledge them as spirits, so I should say she was the one who brought the dead high elves into this. She never wanted this to be “fair” to begin with. But even after all that, even after having that advantage turned back against her, I was challenging her on equal footing. It was no wonder my actions upset her. It was like saying I could easily beat her even without the spirits.

Practically speaking, her archery was good, but not enough to kill me. And I had swordsmanship and magic on my side. Besides that, with how much time I had spent practicing swordsmanship and blacksmithing, I could confidently say I was the physically strongest high elf in the world should it come down to fists.

What Lilium didn’t realize was that I wasn’t the one making light of her. It was her own desire for revenge at any cost that insulted her. Her inflated pride was the source of her shame. It had nothing to do with me.

So I gave no reply, and stomped on the earth to test the newly formed ground beneath my feet. The hard scales of the dragons had been decent enough footing, but proper soil was much better. I had already managed to reach Kaeha’s legacy with my fingertips, but now I bet I could get my whole hand there. That was how it felt.

Ah, but doing that would end up killing Lilium. I guess I’d have to hold off on that for a while. As that thought brought a smile to my face, I knocked one of Lilium’s arrows out of the air with my sword. She lacked any sense of composure now. Arrows fired in such a rage were easy enough to read. Though it was a powerful enough shot, deflecting it with my sword was a lot easier than cutting a wind or water spirit.

I walked slowly forward, continuing to deflect the incoming arrows with my sword. There was no need to rush this fight to a conclusion, and I wasn’t going to underestimate her. She almost certainly still had a trick up her sleeve. Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be trying to fight. She would have given up on her plan to destroy the northern continent. But she was still trying to defeat me, to get the ebon dragon to continue north.

It was possible she was just being driven by pure emotion, no longer thinking rationally. But it still felt like she was hiding something that gave her enough confidence—or hatred—to keep fighting. For example, the fallen high
