I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After the cream is made, Yohaka places a little bit of cream on the turntable to fix the sponge cake base in place and prevent it from shifting.

Then, Yuhaka spread a layer of sweet liquor (made with rum, sugar, and water) on the cake base to improve the cake's texture.

Next, Yuhaka took out some cream and piled it on the cake base, then spread it evenly around the cake base. After spreading the cream evenly, Yuhaka also took the tropical strawberry slices that had been cut and spread them evenly on the cream.

After completing the above steps, repeat the process a few more times until it is finished.

Then Yuhaka whipped up more cream to frost the cake. After lightly brushing the cake with the previously prepared sweet wine, Yuhaka also used cream to spread cream on the cake base until it was evenly spread.

After finishing the preparations, Yuhaka began to decorate the top with some piping, then added the previously prepared Ancient Forest raspberries and some blueberries. Afterwards, Yuhaka used chocolate sauce to write Claire's name and birthday wishes on it.

And just like that, the birthday cake was complete.

After carefully placing the birthday cake into the dimensional rift, Yuhaka stroked his chin, pondering what birthday present to give Claire.

After thinking for three seconds, Yuhaka decided to give Claire the giant bird-smoked ham he made himself!

Just then, Yuhaka suddenly felt the ground shaking. Esther, who was standing next to him, also sensed something. The two exchanged a glance and then ran out.

Chapter 699 [The Berserk Elf Attack]

A dozen minutes ago...............

Located in the Academy City Square, a gigantic, metallic-looking deer roared deafeningly. Claire shielded herself from the howling wind with her arms and felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the enormous Vajra spirit before her.

It was a giant metallic deer, several times larger than Claire, with two radiating horns on its head and black eyes filled with a savage aura, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"This, this is an elf?!"

Claire looked at the enormous Vajra Spirit in front of her with a shocked expression, after all, this Vajra Spirit looked very abnormal.

“Roar, roar, roar, roar——!!”

Accompanied by another roar, a high elf that looked like a wild boar charged from the side of the street. Claire immediately recognized it as a magic mirror elf, not some terrifying magical beast, because of the mirror-like shimmering shell on its body. However, the elf's appearance was now almost indistinguishable from a magical beast.

Seeing the two spirits' appearance, Claire understood that someone had deliberately provoked them to go berserk and cause chaos in Academy City.

Damn it! Just then, Lindsay and Fiana suddenly went to the restroom together (actually, they went to buy Claire a gift).

“Scarlett!”

Upon hearing Claire's summons, Scarlett emerged from the flames and faced the two berserk giant elves before her as if they were enemies.

Claire, her forehead dripping with cold sweat, felt a surge of anxiety as she looked at the two enormous, ferocious elves before her. The crowd in the square was terrified and panicked, and the scene had descended into chaos.

Many people were fleeing in the same direction, like frightened ants, and among them were many elderly people and children.

"Hoohoho!"

After a deafening roar, the magic mirror sprite, resembling a magical boar, powerfully pushed off the ground with its hind legs and charged towards Claire.

Seeing this, Claire was caught in a dilemma. It would have been very easy for Claire to dodge this "Pig Charge" attack, but she couldn't do it at this moment. After all, the fleeing people behind her might be knocked away by this giant mirror sprite, and Claire couldn't guarantee that the mirror sprite charging forward would turn around with her.

Hmm? It follows its own turn?

Thinking about all this, Claire suddenly had an idea; whether it would succeed depended on her own abilities.

Claire then summoned a flaming whip imbued with intense heat and swung it towards the giant mirror sprite's legs. Of course, this action wasn't intended to strike the mirror sprite's legs, but rather to entangle them.

Snapped!

As the Flame Whip wrapped around the Magic Mirror Elf's leg, Claire also swung her Flame Whip to wrap around the Magic Mirror Elf's other leg before releasing the whip.

As Claire let go, the giant mirror sprite tripped over itself, and in a tumbling motion, crashed into a nearby building, its earlier momentum vanishing instantly.

Claire seemed relieved when she saw the Magic Mirror Sprite crash into an empty building. However, she soon wondered if she would have to pay for the collapsed buildings.

Just then, Claire felt the ground suddenly tremble. When she turned around, she saw a giant metal deer-like spirit charging towards her. Claire reacted quickly, but it was too late to dodge the metal deer's charge attack.

Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly pushed Claire away from the metal stag's horns. As she was pushed away, Claire saw Alice holding a spear in the distance, reaching out towards her.

This shows that Alice just used her elven magic to push herself out.

"Are you alright, Claire?"

Upon hearing Alice's words, Claire quickly stood up from the ground and said to Alice:

"I'm fine! The residents around here should take them away first!"

Hearing Claire's words, Alice nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry! The other members of the Wind King Knights have already begun evacuating the surrounding residents!"

Hearing Alice's words, Claire seemed relieved. After realizing that the two berserk elves might harm the city's residents, Claire looked at the giant metal deer in front of her, which was trying to pull its horns out of the building.

Claire was furious that she had almost been pierced through by those sharp corners, which made her feel a strong urge to burn the mastermind behind it all to ashes.

But before that, Claire needs to give this berserk, Vajra-like elf a good whipping.

Boom!

As the King Kong Elf pulled out its huge, sharp antlers, it shook the antlers on its head and looked at Claire with its murky eyes.

Claire summoned her Flame Whip, swung it once, and with a crack, lashed the ground, leaving a scorching mark, saying:

"Come on, let me properly train you!"

Meanwhile, Alice, holding a long spear, looked at the magic mirror sprite in front of her, which resembled a magical boar, with a wary and puzzled expression. For some reason, Alice felt that this magic mirror sprite looked somewhat familiar.

However, after the Magic Mirror Sprite stood up from the ruins, it shook its huge head, looked at Alice who was closest to it, let out a roar, and charged towards Alice.

Alice shouted "Hah!" and brandished her Windwing Spear at the charging Mirror Sprite, unleashing a barrage of wind blades capable of slicing through steel, which hurtled towards the Mirror Sprite.

If they were to take this attack head-on, even a high elf would not emerge unscathed, but...

The mirror-like shell of the magic mirror sprite suddenly emitted a seven-colored light, which, along with the burst of light, reflected all the wind blades back, sending them flying in all directions.

The buildings struck by the wind blades were instantly reduced to rubble, and the rumbling of the collapsing ruins also kicked up a large amount of dust.

The Magic Mirror Sprite, however, appeared completely unharmed, which immediately put Alice in a difficult position.

Chapter 700 [The Sudden Artillery Barrage]

After the Magic Mirror Sprite deflected Alice's attack, it charged towards her with unstoppable momentum. Without the Magic Mirror Sprite's charge, Alice did not choose to dodge, but instead chose to face the Magic Mirror Sprite's attack head-on.

Of course, Alice wanted to block the Magic Mirror Sprite's attack not because she called him a fool, but because, like Claire, she couldn't dodge the Magic Mirror Sprite's attack. Behind her were members of the Wind King Knights who were evacuating civilians.

If she moves aside, it could cause very serious injuries or fatalities to the people behind her.

"O raging wind! Howl—!"

As Alice used her fairy magic, a gust of wind swept towards the magic mirror fairy. Of course, this was not an attack, but rather a way to slow down the magic mirror fairy. The speed of the magic mirror fairy, which was being blown towards it by the wind, was immediately reduced by the wind. Seeing that her fairy magic had not been deflected by the magic mirror fairy, Alice understood that if it was not an offensive fairy magic, it would not have triggered the magic mirror fairy's deflection ability.

When——!

As the massive fangs clashed with the spear in Alice's hand, producing a metallic clang, Alice gritted her teeth and desperately withstood the attack of the Magic Mirror Elf.

"So...so strong..."

Alice said this while blocking the fangs of the magic mirror spirit. The powerful force coming from her hand surprised Alice, and the spear that was blocking the giant fangs was gradually pushed down.

At this moment, Claire was completely unable to free up her hands, and she couldn't stop the Magic Mirror Sprite on her own. Just as Alice felt a sense of despair, a figure descended from the sky and crashed into the Magic Mirror Sprite's head, sending it flying.

Alice, suddenly losing her support, fell on her bottom, looking completely bewildered as the magic mirror sprite flew away.

"What, what's going on?!"

Soon, Alice saw a small figure emerge from the dust. Seeing the familiar pointed horns, cat ears, and large tail, Alice knew who it was. Looking at the small figure in the distance, Alice couldn't help but call out:

"Youyou-chan?!"

Upon hearing Alice's words, Yuhaka turned around and looked at Alice with an "Owo?" expression. Alice, suddenly too excited, accidentally blurted out the name she used for Yuhaka. Realizing her mistake, Alice quickly covered her mouth, looking quite suspicious.

Fortunately, Yuhaka didn't suspect Alice at all.

Yuhaka's attention was now focused on the Mirror Sprite struggling to get up. Seeing the Mirror Sprite that looked like a big wild boar, Yuhaka couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity. If it were a big wild boar, it would taste pretty good as roast meat. It's a shame it's a sprite."

Then Yuhaka grabbed the Magic Mirror Sprite's large fangs and lifted it up. The Magic Mirror Sprite struggled and waved its limbs, but unfortunately, it was basically unable to move once it was lifted up by Yuhaka.

"Throw~ The pig is flying in the sky~ OwO"

Yuhaka threw the Magic Mirror Sprite, which he had raised, towards Claire's Metal Sprite like a shot put. The Magic Mirror Sprite let out a scream as it flew toward the Metal Sprite, and Claire and the Metal Sprite noticed the Magic Mirror Sprite flying toward them.

Claire was clearly startled by the flying Mirror Sprite. She immediately used the speed she had displayed during her special training when she was being chased by Eohaka to leave the spot. Meanwhile, the Metal Sprite was caught off guard and was hit squarely by the flying Mirror Sprite, which slammed it into a nearby building.

Claire's lips twitched as she looked at the Mirror Sprite and Metal Sprite that had been smashed into the building. Although she didn't know what had happened, she wondered if she didn't have to pay for the damages.

At this moment, Alice also came to Claire's side, looked at Claire, and said:

"Claire, are you alright?!"

Hearing Alice's words, Claire shook her head to indicate that she was alright, and Alice seemed relieved. However, their attention was soon drawn to Yuhaka, who was running over with his short legs.

"Youyou, you're finally here!"

When Claire saw Yuhaka coming over, she looked excited. After all, Claire felt that while protecting others, she could ensure that the two berserk elves would not cause harm to those around them.

Yuhaka, looking at the two berserk elves, asked curiously:

"What happened to those two big, inedible creatures?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Claire and Alice were speechless. Elves are not meant to be eaten, after all... Of course, if the two knew that Yuhaka was trying to use elves as food, they probably wouldn't be so surprised, but rather horrified.

Alice also answered Yuhaka's question by saying:

"Someone has probably caused the elves to go berserk. Although we don't know where the elf wielder is, it's clear that these elves are behaving very abnormally..."

Hearing Alice's words, Claire nodded in agreement. After all, if elves went berserk, they couldn't possibly turn into something like monsters. Clearly, the appearance of these two elves was quite abnormal.

Just then, the Metal Elf and the Mirror Elf crawled out from the ruins that had covered them. Clearly, the attack had not completely rendered these two high elves powerless. Seeing this, Claire and the others raised their weapons again and looked at the two berserk elves in front of them.

However, at that moment, Yhaka suddenly sensed something and immediately summoned Baradion, which transformed into a giant shield. Yhaka then embedded this giant shield into the floor and pulled Claire and Alice into the shield's protective range.

Claire and Alice, who were pulled over by Yuhaka, looked completely bewildered, as if they didn't understand why Yuhaka had pulled them behind the shield. Then, in the next instant, a deafening roar suddenly exploded, and Claire and Alice immediately covered their ears.

A large amount of rubble and debris was blown away, and the strong tremors from the ground made Claire and Alice lose their footing and fall to the ground. After everything calmed down, Claire and Alice saw the square reduced to ruins...

Chapter 701 [Velcelia Eva]

Upon seeing the plaza reduced to ruins, Claire and Alice were both stunned. They hadn't expected such a terrible attack to suddenly occur in the plaza. After they came to their senses, they also discovered that the two berserk elves from before had disappeared.

Seeing this, Claire and Alice both showed expressions of lingering fear. If Yuhaka hadn't pulled them behind the shield, they might have ended up like the two berserk elves. After all, this wasn't the realm without elemental spirits, where injuries wouldn't happen.

The two then noticed that Yuhaka, standing to the side, was looking at the sky with a fierce expression.

"O Pan O!"
