Chapter 263: Capturing Axel
Noelle came with only her sword and armor, not bothered to summon her familiar.
On the other hand, the spheres of elements hovering around Flora were actually spirits. Their bodies might be small, but each of them contained the power of elements.
Meanwhile, Axel's familiars consisted of dark elves and humanoid shadows.
Nathan couldn't help but squint his eyes, realizing that Axel was specialized in assassination.
And it was because of that very reason that he couldn't last long against both of them. The other members of the student council didn't even need to join.
Regynar and Leon were standing on both sides, making sure he didn't escape. Meanwhile, Lovelia had summoned her fairy as both of them created a small golden sphere that seemed to record everything that was happening.
It would be the necessary evidence to make the academy feel assured.
Nathan remained in his position, watching everything, fully aware that no harm would come his way.
Noelle leaped forward. There was a dark elf who wielded a sword instead of a dagger. She also wore armor.
Without hesitation, she clashed with Noelle.
Both of them exchanged several clashes within two seconds, as both of them seemed to be unable to gain the upper hand.
However, that was only because Noelle hadn't gotten serious yet.
Those few clashes allowed her to understand the skill level of the dark elf. After that, flame burst from her sword as she struck the dark elf. The latter stopped it with her blade, her own darkness power gushing out of her sword.
Unfortunately, the flame engulfed that darkness and spread even further, which made the dark elf think she had to get away.
The moment that thought appeared, Noelle used all her strength to complete her swing.
The dark elf was pushed back, but she could maintain her stance, which allowed her to respond to another attack from Noelle.
But that was when Noelle released a crescent-shaped fire wave that would hit the others.
The dark elf had no choice but to stop it with her own power. Unfortunately for her, this flame wave turned out to be a distraction.
Just like what Nathan did during their battle, Noelle followed the flame wave right after so that when it reached the dark elf, she could cut both the flame wave and the dark elf at the same time.
"!!!" The dark elf was startled. She wanted to lower her weapon, but the flame wave would definitely cut her down and burn her body the moment she did it. As a result, Noelle swung her sword multiple times in rapid succession, the energy coming from it erupted at once.
Several sword marks appeared on the dark elf's body along with the building.
Boom!
The energy exploded as the building shattered into pieces. The elf faced the same result. Her body was chopped into pieces and the explosions scattered them away.
Meanwhile, Flora was the one handling the rest of the familiars along with Axel himself.
Her wind spirit formed a tornado while the fire spirit lit it up.
Two of them formed a translucent purple barrier to stop it for a second before Axel waved his sword, splitting it in two.
Other familiars leaped into the air, trying to catch a few spirits to stop them.
With just a wave of her hand, Flora called for a lightning strike from her spirit, blowing the familiars back to the ground.
At the same time, the earth spirit created an artificial wall that would stop them from escaping.
Her water spirit created a massive bubble. Her aim was pretty obvious. That was why one of his familiars leaped into the air and cut the bubble in the air, using the Ena to push away all the water.
Unfortunately, that was when the lightning spirit channeled his power and used the water to electrocute the familiar.
"Aaaahhhh!" The familiar was screaming in pain. Its body fell to the ground, scorched.
Axel gritted her teeth, wondering where he should go. He had been locked in all directions, especially with Leon and Regynar maintaining their positions.
"You can't go away, Axel. No matter what you do, you have been surrounded." Flora harrumphed.
Axel clenched his teeth. He obviously didn't want to die or be captured. However, there was simply no chance to escape in his current position. Find your next tale on m-vl-em|p-yr
"Since I can't escape, don't think you can defeat me without suffering a loss!" Axel roared. Since the other party didn't give him a chance, he would just use everything he had against them. At the very least, he could kill one or two spirits or even heavily injure Flora or Noelle.
Sadly, fighting Axel was never Flora's intention.
"It's too late. I'm merely buying time." Flora shook her head helplessly.
Bam!
Axel couldn't help but turn his head after that eruption of Ena, finding his strongest familiar to die in Noelle's hand. She didn't even last a minute.
Without hesitation, Noelle closed the gap between them.
"Noelle!" Axel waved his sword with all his strength. "I'm still the vice president of the student council. I attain this position because of my power!"
"Your ability is good, but compared to her…" Flora shook her head.
The moment their blades clashed, the conclusion was reached almost immediately. Noelle's sword cut his blade as if it were cheese.
"!!!" Axel widened his eyes in disbelief.
Before he could open his mouth, Noelle had stopped her blade to avoid cutting him. In exchange, she punched Axel in the face and slammed his head to the ground.
"Gaaahhh!" Axel wanted to fight back, but Noelle moved so fast.
Leon even tossed the handcuff made of anti-Ena material. He flipped him over and bound him in rapid succession while pushing his face into the ground so that he didn't bother her with his words.
"Mmhmm!" Axel struggled, but after the cuff was put on, Noelle released her Ena from her palm.
The explosion created a crater 8 meters (26 feet) in radius, knocking Axel, who couldn't use his Ena anymore, out."
"Capture completed."
