The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

“I know, Princess Mi’er, but no matter what, I cannot let you die here with me, so please, live on with my beliefs.”

As she spoke, Yuzu raised her arms and pointed them towards us.

"Break through, Demon Slayer Beam Cannon!"

In an instant, the curse marks on Yuzu's arms began to emit golden light, and then a beam of golden light gradually condensed. A powerful and suffocating magical force instantly spread to the surrounding space. It was truly... terrifying.

If someone were to be injured by this magic cannon, I believe even the strongest golden shield of the Minotaur king wouldn't be able to withstand it, because it's just too powerful...

"Let's get ready to go, Sister Ivy. We can't let Yuzu down for paving the way for our survival..."

At this moment, Mi'er was in my arms, tears streaming down her face, and said to me.

Honestly, if Yuzu is unsealed this time, there's a high probability she won't come back. But no matter what, we can't let her down after everything she's done for us.

"I see."

At that moment, I couldn't help but grit my teeth. I had clearly promised to protect them, but instead, I was the one being protected by them. This made me feel somewhat resentful.

"This... retreat to either side immediately! Anyone who wants to live should retreat to either side now!!!"

At this moment, Vice General Bikvi saw that Mir was about to launch her ultimate move and sensed that something was wrong. So he took the lead and started to run to both sides, shouting loudly to make everyone retreat to both sides.

Just three seconds after Vice Admiral Bikvi finished speaking, a massive beam of light with unimaginable power was launched directly from Yuzu's hand and began to spread out in a fan shape.

In an instant, thirty or forty Minotaur soldiers were swallowed up by the powerful golden beam, which was also engulfing those that were moving slower.

The earth trembled incessantly, and the piercing sound of cannon fire, mixed with the wailing cries of the Minotaur, echoed throughout the night under the moonlit sky.

"Come on!"

At that moment, Mi'er gave the order, and I picked her up in a princess carry while Lila and Wenya started running quickly forward.

The advantage of this technique is that it leaves no residual damage where the explosion has occurred.

So this really blasted a path to survival for us.

"Sister Ivy, you must protect Princess Mi'er in my place, because as long as she is alive, our Dark Elf race will have a chance to rise again!"

As she spoke, Yuzu turned to me and gave me a bitter smile.

Gradually, her body began to emit black smoke, and it seemed to be mutating, and something was wrong.

"I know!"

Although I am also heartbroken, there is nothing I can do to change what is happening.

Left with no other choice, I gritted my teeth, turned my face back, and quickened my pace to retreat, because I couldn't let the path to survival that Yuzu had worked so hard to create for me go to waste!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Secret Arts of the Night Elves

Just three or four minutes after we started running, we suddenly heard another loud explosion.

The explosion was extremely loud and piercing.

Actually, I was also very curious about what that sound was, because I knew that the Minotaur race did not use magic, so the sound of the explosion must have come from Yuzu.

After that, I could hear the mournful cries of countless Minotaurs echoing throughout the night sky; it was truly devastating.

Could it be that Yuzu has really done something again?

We kept running and running, even when our legs started to ache, we didn't stop.

After running for about twenty minutes, I slowly stopped when my legs could no longer obey my commands.

Without saying a word, I immediately turned my head and glanced down the cliff.

In an instant, not only me, but also Wenya and Lila were stunned...

I saw a colossal creature I didn't recognize at all, with long ears and sharp teeth, and its body covered in what looked like fur or some other unidentified substance. It was tearing at and clawing at the Minotaur around it.

Although it's not very clear, you can tell that their chances of winning are quite good.

"This is the true nature of a pomelo, and I actually have one too."

At this moment, Mi'er jumped off me and raised her arms.

"What is this...? It feels really scary."

Although the distance made me feel its fear, I think even the Black Dragon God would have a hard time facing such a monster.

"This is a secret technique of our clan. Unlocking this seal will unleash an extremely powerful force, not that of the Sacred Tree. It's the Demon Slayer Beam that Yuzu used to open a path to survival for us. After it's released, the sealed blood of the evil spirits of our clan will erupt, which is the monster you see here, named Zhu Bing. It will lose all its reason, slaughter all living beings around it, and feel no pain, fighting until the very end..."

At this moment, Mi'er explained to me about this monster called Zhu Bing, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Because she knew that Yuzu had completely left her, how could she not feel heartbroken?

"Then, is it possible to restore it to its original pomelo form?"

This is actually what I really want to ask: even if they've become monsters like this, there might still be a possibility of being saved.

Or, we could risk our lives to save her. That way, we might be able to see Yuzu rationally, even if it's just for the last time.

Mi'er shook her head, and crystal-clear tears instantly fell in the moonlight.

"There's a one in ten thousand chance, no, even a one in a hundred thousand chance, that Yuzu won't come back. If she does, she'll become a lonely ghost wandering the world, and will completely dissipate at dawn. So, once this seal is broken, there's absolutely no possibility for our race to ever survive again. Perhaps this is our destiny, our punishment for the Dark Elf race..."

At this moment, Mi'er turned her head towards me, and her tear-streaked face showed me a bitter smile.

It seems that Yuzu really has no chance of coming back.

"Then... Honey, do all of you night elves have this curse?"

Lila, who was already crying uncontrollably, couldn't help but ask a question.

"No, look at Wenya, she doesn't have it. Only we royal night elves have it... because this curse, although it's called a curse, can often save our lives and our race."

At this moment, Mi'er stretched out her arm and couldn't help but wipe away the tears from her eyes.

"In that case, Sister Ivy, I must be stronger too, so as not to let down Yuzu for everything she has done for me."

After wiping away her tears, Mi'er's expression gradually changed, as if she had been reborn... Yes, she was smiling, smiling brightly.

Since it was her closest relatives who paved the way for her to live, she would definitely try her best to live on.

That's right, it's for the sake of the night elves that we must live.

"Let's go back, Wenya, Lila, and Sister Ivy."

"Um……"

Honestly, at this moment, I feel that the Night Elves are truly great. If I could, I would really like to write a novel about them and spread their story throughout the world...

However, my writing skills aren't very good... so I think I'll pass on that idea.

And so we embarked on our journey back to the Night Elf Village.

Although we really wanted to retrieve the tents and luggage we left behind, it's still quite dangerous there, so we had to abandon them.

However, at this moment, I discovered something important.

A group of us got lost...

Because it was Mia's brother who had led the way, we were able to reach the Minotaur's territory safely, but he was no longer there.

Without the living map, how do we get to the Night Elf village chief?

Of course, we finished all our food three hours after we set off.

Now, another half day has passed, from dawn to night, yet they still haven't found the slightest clue.

This is giving me a bit of a headache.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry..."

Exhausted, she was swaying and began calling to me that she was hungry.

Yes, I'm actually very hungry too. So how can I find food?

We are currently in a vast, snowy world, and the wind is very strong.

In addition, there is the possibility of a blizzard hitting at any time.

This situation is really terrible.

If... if Xiaobai were here with me, that would be wonderful.

If Little White were with me, I wouldn't get lost and should be able to find the Night Elf village easily.

Because don't underestimate the keen nose of Xiaobai, a member of the Gray Wolf clan.

"correct!"

Suddenly, an idea struck me: didn't I have a contract with Xiaobai?

Is it possible for this world to summon its own familiar?

Even summoning the Peach Demon Queen would be fine; at least we'd have more company. Besides, she's a demon queen, so she must know the situation around us. In that case, we'd have a better chance of surviving.

"What's wrong, Ivy?"

At this moment, Lila couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Lila, hurry up and help me think of a way to summon my familiar, like magic or something?"

Honestly, my last hope now is my precious Lila. If she knew, there might actually be a chance for us to turn things around.
