I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Moon, what is this?" Alice looked at Moon with a puzzled expression. Seeing Alice's puzzled expression, Moon knew what she wanted to ask. Moon then told Alice and Nie about the Baradion sword. After hearing about the Baradion sword's special damage mechanism, Alice and Nie couldn't help but open their mouths wide. After all, this was the first time Alice and Nie had ever heard of a weapon that could not hurt people.

Meanwhile, Nije also understood why Yuhaka was able to persuade the other party while ensuring everyone's safety. This greatly increased Nije's goodwill and confidence in Yuhaka. Alice, on the other hand, thought of something and looked at Yuhaka and the others who were training with Fran, and asked Yue, "But what if we encounter bad people?" To Alice's question, Yue spread her hands and said, "Then Yuhaka will switch to another sword to fight people."

After confirming that Yhaka had a way to deal with the bad guys, Alice no longer needed to worry about Yhaka's "Sword of Immortality".

While Alice and the others were chatting, Yuhaka and Fran's training session ended. Fran knelt on the grass, looking dejected. Her Nargacuga armor was reduced to a mere net-like structure; most of it had been shredded to pieces by Yuhaka. Fran tugged at the remaining pieces of her armor, saying sadly, "I still couldn't hit Master even once. Master is too strong..."

Speaking of Fran, Yuhaka patted Fran's head and said, "Hmm, Fran has improved a bit, she's better than before. She doesn't just blindly use her weapon to block attacks anymore, OwO~" Then, as if remembering something, Yuhaka added to Fran, "Also, Fran's new armor is finished. It's in the wardrobe. It looks a lot like the set Fran wore before. Fran will recognize it at a glance. Fran can try it on later, OwO."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Fran's cat ears immediately perked up. Fran quickly stood up, her eyes sparkling, and said to Yuhaka, "Really? Then Fran will go take a look!" With that, Fran wagged her tail and ran towards the RV. After watching Fran, dressed in bright white fishnet armor, run away from him, Yuhaka scratched his head with his big tail. Clearly, Yuhaka hadn't expected the new equipment to be so attractive to Fran.

After Fran left, Yuhaka came over to Alice and the others. Yuhaka picked up a milk tea that was placed nearby and started drinking it. Alice, standing beside him, looked at Yuhaka with a curious expression and asked, "By the way, Yuhaka, have you been training Fran this way all along?" Hearing Alice's question, Yuhaka nodded in agreement. After confirming something, Alice thought for a moment, then looked at Yuhaka with a somewhat eager expression and said, "Then, Yuhaka, can we have a match? I want to try too!"

Seeing Alice's eager expression, Yuhaka thought for a moment and said it was no problem. After all, Yuhaka didn't seem to have anything to do right now, so playing with Alice wouldn't hurt.

After getting ready, Yuhaka and Alice stood on the grass and assumed combat stances. Judging from the way Alice held her sword, her movements were not awkward at all, which showed that Alice had not neglected any combat-related training while receiving royal etiquette lessons.

Yuhaka was significantly better than Fran had been the first time. After the two were ready, Yue, acting as a referee, gave the start command. Upon hearing Yue's command, Alice launched her attack first. Of course, it wasn't that Alice's reaction speed was faster than Yuhaka's; rather, Yuhaka simply wanted Alice to make the first move. Otherwise, if Alice were to be defeated by him in one fell swoop... it might make Alice withdraw into herself for a while.

After Alice rushed forward, she thrust straight at Yhwach. Yhwach easily blocked Alice's attack with his Baradion sword. Alice wasn't too surprised that her attack was blocked. While her attack was blocked, Alice nimbly changed her attack method and thrust at other parts of Yhwach's body, but the same move was blocked by Yhwach again. At the same time, Yhwach also began to launch his own offensive.

In the instant Alice launched her attack, Yuhaka swung his weapon and deflected Alice's thrust. Alice nearly dropped her two-handed sword when she felt a tremendous force coming from it. However, she managed to turn around and dissipate the force, thus avoiding the danger of her weapon being knocked away. But in that moment, Yuhaka launched a fierce attack on Alice.

Ehaka brandished the Baradion sword in his hand and launched a series of attacks on Alice like a sword dance. Alice was unable to defend herself against Ehaka's attacks. Her clothes were torn in many places, and Alice felt the sensation of being attacked many times. If it were an ordinary sharp blade, she would be covered in wounds and in so much pain that she could not move.

When Yuhaka suddenly changed his style and unleashed a wild slash, Alice was caught off guard and struck in the body. She didn't feel the pain she expected, but upon hearing a "plop" sound, she saw a large amount of cloth scattered everywhere. Looking down, she found herself covered in small pieces of rags, like a white lily.

Alice immediately let out a cute scream, covered her body, and squatted down looking quite embarrassed. Seeing this, Yuhaka skillfully took out a towel and covered Alice with it. Feeling the towel on her, Alice also stood up, wrapped in the towel, and said to Yuhaka, "Ahem, Yuhaka is really amazing. If that attack had really caused any damage, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."

Ehaka looked puzzled by Alice's words, as he could clearly sense that Alice was changing the subject. However, Ehaka didn't seem to mind and instead pointed out some mistakes Alice made during the battle and some timing of her attacks. Alice nodded in understanding, finding Ehaka's explanation quite reasonable, and she made a mental note of it.

"Alice, is there any armor you want? OwO" After giving her instructions, Yuhaka directly asked Alice what equipment she needed. After all, they might have to fight on their way to Undine's territory, so Yuhaka wanted to make sure everyone was protected. Although Alice was quite strong, she wasn't as physically robust as Yue, Fran, and Nieze, so her protection was relatively more important.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice was first taken aback, then looked at him with a hint of surprise and asked, "Eh?! Can I have one too?!" Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Alice, saying, "Yes, because Alice lacks the means to protect herself, Yuhaka thinks Alice needs some equipment to protect herself."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Alice felt touched and a little embarrassed. After all, she had received care from others, which further increased her affection for Yuhaka. Yuhaka and the others then returned to the RV's bedroom. Fran had changed into new equipment; it was special creature armor made by the Yuhaka Church. Although the style was similar to Nargacuga armor, it was essentially a technologically advanced version. Most importantly, the Church-developed Nargacuga armor was far superior to the original in terms of both defense and mobility. This new version also possessed stealth capabilities, which Fran clearly appreciated.

Next came the armor prepared for Alice. The armor that Yuhaka prepared for Alice looked a bit like a nun's habit (for a specific image, refer to Kallen's Ritual Attire in Honkai Impact 3). This armor was a combination of white armor and a black tight-fitting nun's habit, which gave people a very holy feeling. Alice liked the appearance of this armor very much. However, the high slit skirt, which resembled a cheongsam, made Alice feel a little embarrassed. However, Yuhaka said that he could add a skirt armor for extra protection. Moreover, Yuhaka took out a pair of black and white pantyhose for Alice to choose from. Seeing this, Alice felt that she was ready.

After helping Alice change into the outfit, Yuhaka and the others looked at her with blank stares. Feeling a little embarrassed by their intense gazes, Alice blushed and rubbed her black-stockinged legs, saying, "H-How does it look, everyone? Does it suit me?"

Everyone nodded in agreement at Alice's question, and Yuhaka gave Alice a thumbs-up, saying, "Hmm! It suits Alice perfectly!"

Hearing Yuhaka's praise, Alice's heart pounded a little. This feeling was quite novel to Alice, as it was the first time she had ever felt this way. However, Alice was puzzled as to what this feeling was.

In any case, while Alice received her new equipment, Light's equipment was also ready. The armor Light was wearing looked more like an environmental combat suit for Ghost agents, but it had been modified according to Light's preferred style of dress, making it look a bit like a robe plus a tight-fitting combat suit. As for Nie, it would have to wait until tomorrow to be ready, since Nie had only been with the team for a short time and her equipment was still a bit behind in terms of preparation.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1950 [The Anomaly in the Principality of Aberia...]

After leaving the forest, Yuhaka and her companions arrived in the territory of the Principality of Aberia. Although it was said to be the country where Undine lived, Undine's actual residence was only in the Water City. Generally speaking, Undine did not like to come to the land unless it was for a certain purpose or to eliminate a target. Even so, Undine and her companions would not stray too far from the water source.

Well... although it's called Undine's kingdom, there are still humans living on the territory of the Principality of Aberia. There are quite a few human towns here, most of which are built near water sources. After all, areas near water sources in Undine's territory have very rich resources, which is one of the reasons that attracts many humans to settle here. Another reason is that the taxes here are much cheaper than in other places, which has also attracted many refugees and immigrants.

Most importantly, Undine generally doesn't interfere much in the affairs of the Principality of Aberia. This has attracted many ambitious people to establish a metropolis called the United City here. As for the actions of humans, Undine's queen, "Emerona," simply turns a blind eye. As long as the other party does nothing to harm Undine or humans, or assists the strength of the demons, the Undine clan will not interfere too much.

Moreover, the Undines have always been a very gentle and kind race. Some people took them for granted, and these people soon suffered a severe price for underestimating the Undines' character. All the painful "evidence" has been buried at the bottom of the sea.

As Yuhaka and his group traveled in their RV towards Water City, where Undine was located, they also tried to learn about the Principality of Aberia and Undine through Nije. Nije knew about Undine, but she wasn't very familiar with the human towns in the Principality of Aberia. After all, the Undine clan didn't like going to human towns. To the Undine, human towns were still a bit dirty, which made them, who preferred a clean environment, feel very uncomfortable.

Hearing Nije's words, Yuhaka couldn't help but shudder. After hearing Nije's explanation, Yuhaka was reminded of the human settlements he'd encountered in medieval Europe. Recalling the scenes of excrement everywhere, Yuhaka felt an urge to destroy humanity. Even the pigs on Yuhaka's ranch knew to clean up their living environment; if humans didn't know how to clean up, weren't they even worse than pigs...?

Regardless, Yuhaka has no intention of going to the human towns; the thought of such a scene makes him extremely uncomfortable.

As for Yuhaka's plan not to go to the human towns, the others had no problem with it. Alice felt a little regretful, but the most important thing right now was to resolve the situation in Undine. Visiting the towns later wouldn't be a problem. Alice also thought it would be a good idea to visit the Water City. When she was a child, Alice had gone to the Water City of Undine with her father. However, this return to the old place made Alice feel a little nostalgic. But no matter what, she hoped that this return visit wouldn't turn into a welcoming ceremony that turned into being treated as an enemy and thrown out.

However... the situation that Yuhaka and her companions encountered here was not so peaceful. Not long after arriving in the territory of the Principality of Aberia, Yuhaka and her companions saw a group of bandits robbing a caravan that looked like refugees fleeing for their lives. Naturally, Yuhaka and her companions did not stand idly by. With their help, most of the bandits and their leader died in the wilderness, and the remaining bandits quickly fled in a sorry state.

The refugees cheered after seeing the bandits driven away. They had originally wanted to thank Yuhaka and her group, but upon seeing Nije on their side, they scattered like mice before a cat. Yuhaka and her group were dumbfounded by this, especially Alice. Alice had expected the refugees to be very grateful after eliminating the bandits, but the sight of them fleeing as if they had encountered something even more terrifying than the bandits left Alice completely astonished.

Fortunately, an elderly woman remained there. She didn't seem particularly frightened. When Yuhaka and the others appeared, the old woman thanked them, saying, "You're the ones who drove those bandits away, right? Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, those bandits would have either killed everyone or captured people and sold them as slaves."

Hearing the old woman's words, Alice felt a little better. Meanwhile, Yue asked the old woman, "Grandma, are you fleeing? What happened?" The elderly woman, with blurry eyes, looked at Yuhaka and the others and explained, "Hmm? Young girls, you've come from out of town, haven't you? It's normal that you don't know what's going on here. A few days ago, the Undine tribe started attacking human towns everywhere. They're kidnapping people, and we don't know what they're doing with them. There are rumors that the Undines are planning to use them for some evil ritual, and others that they want to eat people. Anyway, after the Undines launched their attacks on the surrounding towns, all sorts of bad rumors about them started popping up..."

The old woman sighed as she spoke, seemingly feeling helpless about the rumors. She explained to Yuhaka and the others, "But these are just rumors. Why the Undine attacked human towns is still unknown. But I don't think things are that simple. The Undine are a gentle, kind, and innocent race. They would never do such a bad thing. There must be some special reason that led to everything."

Hearing the old woman's words, Nijie was quite surprised. After all, the old woman actually believed that something had gone wrong with Undine, which was why those Undine were attacking humans. Other humans thought that Undine was performing some kind of evil ritual or had joined the demon race. To be honest, Nijie felt quite upset when she heard these rumors, but the fact that the old woman believed in Undine touched Nijie deeply.

After hearing the old woman's words, Yue began to ponder. After all, something seemed amiss. It hadn't been long since Undine attacked humans, yet a whole host of rumors had already spread, making Yue feel as if there was some kind of conspiracy behind it all.

Regardless, Yuhaka and the others learned from the old woman that Undine was currently attacking nearby towns along the river, and that the residents of this territory were fleeing their settlements. Some were seeking refuge in the United City, while others were hiding in remote mountains and wilderness. Still others were fleeing the territory of this duchy like refugees, trying to escape the pursuit of Undine and her forces.

These messages indicate that the country is currently facing a very serious situation, which Yuhaka and the others cannot ignore. Alice feels the same way, since Undine is an ally of the Kingdom of Belzegu. If something serious happens to her, the entire coastal region of the Kingdom of Belzegu could be plagued by monsters.

When Yuhaka and her companions were about to leave, they asked the old woman if she wanted to come with them. The old woman declined their invitation, explaining that the refugees would soon return to check on the situation, and she needed to wait for her family there. She also mentioned that there were still a lot of belongings left behind, and the refugees wouldn't abandon them.

Hearing the old lady's words, Yuhaka and the others had no choice. However, Yuhaka left a defensive spell in place to prevent the old lady from being attacked by anything, which made everyone feel a little more at ease before leaving.

....................................

....................................

Not long after Yuhaka and the others left, Yuhaka learned through the drone that the old woman had been taken away by other returning refugees, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. However, they were unsure of what to do next. If they went to Water 7, they didn't know what might happen if they ignored the towns along the way. Therefore, Yue suggested that they investigate the situation in the nearby human towns or villages.

Yuhaka and the others agreed with Yue's suggestion; it would be best to investigate the situation.

Soon, as the RV traveled, Yuhaka and her companions arrived at a town along the river, where they found an empty town.

"There's not a single person here? That's unbelievable..." Alice looked at the empty and devastated town with a surprised expression. After all, it was the first time Alice had ever seen an empty town. Faced with this situation, Alice had an indescribable feeling. Yue, who was standing next to her, could see the damage caused by the water and ice elemental magic around them. The damage to the surrounding houses was not significant, which showed that the attack was not a large-scale attack of elemental magic. Moreover, Yue did not smell any blood here, which was very strange.

After all, Yue thought it was normal for someone to get injured if Undine used some elemental magic attack here, but the fact that the smell of blood hadn't disappeared at all made Yue very puzzled about this place.

Yue then asked Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, "Yuhaka, do you smell any blood?" Upon hearing Yue's question, Yuhaka looked at Yue with an "OwO?" expression. However, after sniffing his little nose, Yuhaka only smelled a faint scent of human blood. Based on the concentration of the blood smell, Yuhaka could tell that the humans in this town had not suffered much harm, which made Yuhaka a little puzzled.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Yuhaka and Yue's faces, Alice and the others noticed their reaction and asked them what had happened. Yuhaka and Yue told everyone what they had discovered. Upon hearing their findings, Alice and the others also looked puzzled and asked, "If the town was attacked by the Undines... then why are there no blood or corpses here?"

Everyone was also puzzled by Alice's question. After all, even if they were to capture a living person, wouldn't bloodshed be unavoidable?

Could it be that the Undines attack humans and take them away without harming their targets?

Even Yuhaka and the others didn't know what Undine and the others wanted to do. Nije thought that her companions probably didn't want to harm humans, but the fact that her companions had still captured the residents left Nije wondering what they were up to.

Although Yuhaka and the others knew that Undine didn't intend to harm the residents too much, it was true that they had taken the residents away. However, this made Yuhaka and the others think that those humans might still be alive, so they felt that they needed to speed up their progress.

After boarding the RV, Yuhaka and her companions sped up their journey towards the Water City. After traveling for about an hour, the Senfeld drones released by the RV discovered that Undine and her group were attacking a town. Not only Undine, but even bandits were taking advantage of the chaos. Upon seeing this, Yuhaka and her companions immediately sprang into action. Although Undine didn't kill people, the bandits wouldn't; if necessary, they would even kidnap people.

After getting out of the RV, Yuhaka and the others split into two groups. Alice, Nije, and Fran were responsible for dealing with the bandits, while Yuhaka and Yue were responsible for dealing with Undine and rescuing her. After the division of labor was clear, Yuhaka and the others set out. After Yuhaka carried Yue to the vicinity of the battle between Undine and the town guard, Yuhaka rushed out with the Baradion sword and blocked the position between Undine and the town guard. The battle between Undine and the town guard was interrupted by Yuhaka, the intruder.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1951 [Undine's Squad, Devastated!]

In a town attacked by Undine's forces and bandits, Yuhaka and his group split into two teams on the street. Alice and her group were dealing with the bandits, while Yuhaka and his group were handling the problems between Undine's forces.

After Yuhaka and Yue arrived at Undine's location, they saw an Undine squad attacking the town's guards. The town's guards were no match for the Undine squad. With their advantage in water and ice elemental magic, the Undine easily froze the town's guards.

Seeing this, Yuhaka jumped out, unleashing a powerful sword strike that sliced ​​a rift between Undine and the town's guards. Undine's team immediately stopped their attack, while the town's guards were startled. They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized the intruder wasn't Undine.

After Yuhaka and Yue stopped on the rooftop, Yue addressed the Undine squad in front of them, saying, "Undines over there, stop capturing humans! What you're doing now will only make things more embarrassing for you later!"

Hearing Yue's words, the Undines were enraged and glared at her, shouting, "What do you humans know?! Do you think we'll just let this go after you stole our Undine clan's important treasure?! Sisters, seize them!"

Under the command of the leader of Undine's squad, the members of Undine's squad raised their tridents made of special coral, aimed at Yuhaka and her group, and launched several bubbles. Although they were bubbles, they flew at a considerable speed. Although this move didn't seem to have any offensive power, the town's guards behind Yuhaka and her group explained, "Watch out for those bubbles! If you get hit, they'll stick to you quickly, and you'll be frozen if they use ice magic!"

Upon hearing the town guard's reminder, Yuhaka immediately reacted and used wind elemental magic to blow away the bubbles. Seeing that Yuhaka could use magic, the captain of Undine's team knew that Yuhaka and her group were probably not the same level as the town guard. Therefore, the captain of Undine's team instructed her members to prepare for regular combat. Hearing her captain's words, the entire Undine team entered battle mode, clearly indicating that they hadn't used their full strength when dealing with the town guard.

Seeing this, Yuhaka picked up the Baradion sword and said to Yue, "Yue, please take the residents of that town away from here. Yuu will handle things here!" Hearing Yuhaka's words, Yue nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take the residents away from here first."

As she spoke, Yue led the town's guards away. The guards seemed hesitant, as it was awkward for them, as adults, to leave a girl behind to cover their retreat. Yue explained that Undine was no match for Yuhaka, and their presence would only hinder Yuhaka (this was a lie; Yuhaka's attacks were indiscriminate). Moreover, the rest of the town was under attack by bandits, and this was where the town's guards needed to provide assistance, not against a powerful warrior like Undine who was proficient in both physical and magical attacks.

Upon hearing Yue's words, the town's guards left without hesitation. After all, as Yue had said, they couldn't stop Undine from taking them down; at most, they could only delay them a little before being captured by Undine. They might as well join Alice and the others in fighting off the bandits.

After Yue left, Yuhaka brandished his Baradion sword, ready for battle. The Undine squad formed a semi-encirclement around Yuhaka, demonstrating the strength and combat awareness of the Undine squad, which consisted of cute girls and mature women.

However, it's not a difficult thing for Yhaka.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka was also observing the equipment on the Undine squad. The weapon they used was a special coral-formed twisted trident. Although it looked like a trident, it was actually more like a staff. However, it was not weak as a melee weapon. This weapon was not more fragile than ordinary metal weapons. As for how Yuhaka knew this, it was because Nije also had a similar weapon. It usually looked like a bracelet or ornament, but when used, it would transform into a coral trident about the same height as Yuhaka.

The armor worn by Undine's team looked very familiar to Yuhaka. Although Undine's team wasn't wearing chainmail made of metal, they were wearing armor made of scales from some kind of fish and plate armor made from the shells of some kind of crustacean. Seeing this, Yuhaka couldn't help but think of the hunters, who also had similar equipment. Of course, Via's clan also used similar equipment, since seafood was an indispensable part of Pandora.

The weapon used by Undine's squad leader wasn't a trident or anything like that. It looked like a weapon with a strange crystal-like blade wrapped around coral, resembling a Guan Dao (a type of halberd). The magical energy emanating from it was even stronger. The person's attire looked like armor made of some kind of creature's bones, and they were also wearing a helmet made of some kind of creature's skull. This clearly distinguished the squad leader from ordinary soldiers.

However, these differences are nothing to Yuhaka, since these Undines are really not difficult for him.

However, it was Undine's team that struck first. Based on their attack methods, they did not hesitate to use a water elemental magic called "Water Mist" to make the surroundings appear as a hazy mist. Under such a misty condition, the visibility of the surroundings would be very low for ordinary people. Moreover, this misty state would not affect Undine and her team. After all, as water elemental spirits, they could easily sense what was happening inside the mist, while the enemy would have a hard time detecting their movements.

This explains why many races have struggled to defeat the Undines at sea. However, this was a major blunder for the Undine team currently fighting Yuhaka. After using their water mist, the Undine team suddenly realized they couldn't sense Yuhaka's presence within it. This caused them some panic, as even stealth and cloaked enemies couldn't hide under the water mist. Yuhaka's "disappearance" was truly baffling. What was going on?

The reason is quite simple: Ehaka's ability to hide in the imaginary space allows him to avoid the effects and perception of the water mist. Moreover, even if Ehaka doesn't use the imaginary space, it won't affect him. After all, Ehaka has the blessing and authority of the Water Spirit King, which prevents him from being affected by the water mist. Furthermore, Ehaka's perception ability is also unaffected by the water mist, and he can still clearly sense the locations of the Undine's team members.

Then, Yuhaka made a drawing sword stance and used a Crest Technique called "Draw Sword Slash" to cut down the Undine Squad members. As the mist was cut open, the bewildered Undine Squad members emerged from it, looking completely stunned. Clearly, this was the first time they had ever seen mist cut open. They could understand if it had been dispelled by a dispelling spell, but being cut open was something they had never encountered before.

However, Yuhaka cut through more than just the water mist. With a snap, the Undine team members noticed that their weapons had been cut in two. Before they could even understand why their weapons had been destroyed, the armor worn by the Undine team members suddenly burst into flames. The Undine team members, who had been completely bewildered, snapped out of their daze and clutched their bodies, letting out cute screams.

Undine's squad leader was not immune to the same situation as her teammates. With her face flushed, she covered her body and looked at Yuhaka, who had an "OwO" expression, and said, "To destroy the opponent's armor... that's really despicable!"

"OwO???" Upon hearing the words of the Undine squad leader, Yuhaka couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. After all, Yuhaka didn't think there was anything despicable about it. Before Yuhaka could react, the Undine squad leaders called their teammates to retreat. According to their Queen Undine's orders, they were allowed to abandon their existing spoils and retreat back to Water City when they encountered an enemy they couldn't defeat. For the Undines now, any casualties were unacceptable to Queen Undine.

Yuhaka was quite surprised to see the Undine squad fleeing so quickly. After all, Yuhaka had thought that Nizee, with her fishtail lower body, would have difficulty moving on land, and that was indeed the case. Nizee wasn't very good at moving on land, but she could use magic to move by hiding in a bubble, or use elemental magic to create constantly flowing water on her fishtail or to condense ice beneath it.

Of course, this is only because some Undines are not very good at moving on the ground. For Undine's team, who are used to moving on land without using magic, it will not have much of an impact. After all, if the enemy uses dispel magic, they will fall flat on their face.

Watching Undine's team flee, Yuhaka made no attempt to give chase. Yuhaka's mind was filled with images of large and small bowls of cherry-decorated pudding swaying on plates after being inverted from their containers. With that thought, Yuhaka did feel like eating cherry pudding. He decided to make some and try it when he got back.

As Yuhaka pondered this, he moved toward his next target location.

..............................................

..............................................

After Yuhaka successfully repelled Undine's squad, he headed to the next street where Undine's forces were attacking. Alice and her group also successfully killed the bandit leader, but some bandits remained in the town, requiring Alice and her group to clear them out. Although Nie was in Alice's group, seeing Nie helping the townspeople repel the bandits and healing them with water elemental magic puzzled the townspeople. What was going on?

Meanwhile, on Undine's side, by the river, Ixenu, the commander of Undine's forces and captain of Queen Undine's personal guard, watched as her men loaded human prisoners onto ice ships and transported them back to the Water City. Although the mysterious sorcerer claimed that using human blood and corpses as sacrifices could achieve the effect of the Reincarnation Stone, Ixenu obeyed her queen's orders and did not kill the humans. After all, the queen felt that the matter was not so simple and dared not act rashly. Ixenu, however, did not care. As long as it was the queen's order, Ixenu would obey it without hesitation.

But just then, Ishinu suddenly saw several of her Undine squads fleeing back in a disheveled state. Looking at the returning Undine squads, Ishinu was completely bewildered. After all, the scene of her subordinates looking like they had encountered some kind of perverted thug (OwO?) left Ishinu somewhat unable to process it. But Ishinu quickly recovered and asked her subordinates what had happened. Soon, Ishinu learned that there was a powerful swordsman in this town who had destroyed all their equipment in just a moment.

Upon hearing this news, Ixinu looked puzzled. After all, she knew very well that there were no powerful people around. She was quite confused about this, but the task of capturing humans still had to be carried out. Ixinu decided to deal with the other party herself.

Of course, Isenu had no idea what kind of being she was about to face...

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1952 [Defeating Undine and the Bandits]

Ixenu led several Undine squads to the location of the other Undine squads. According to reports from the other retreating Undine squads, the Dragonborn Swordsman was stopping them. After destroying the Undine squads' equipment, the Dragonborn Swordsman stopped pursuing them. This showed that his purpose was to prevent them from capturing humans. Naturally, Ixenu would not let him succeed in this situation.

In response, Izinu led her troops to intercept the enemy, but she didn't consider the enemy's actual strength.

Located on a street, Izinu also spotted her target.

"OwO?" Just as Ehaka was about to find his next target after destroying the equipment of an Undine squad, he didn't expect that the other party would actually come knocking on his door, which saved Ehaka a lot of time.

Upon finding Yuhaka, Undine's team used water and ice elemental magic to transform the surrounding area into a circular ice rink-like track. Yuhaka had never seen anything like it before, but seeing the others gliding quickly across the frozen streets and ice tracks, he knew what this scene was for. However, Yuhaka didn't feel nervous about it.
