I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 330: Dark Elves vs Sun Fire Knights ( 1 )

"They're here" Aria whispered as she looks ahead.

Since they were currently on a hill, they could see that about a kilometer in front of Diether's platoon was a group of Dark Elves. 

These Elves are fully equipped with armors and weapons as they rode some four-legged beasts that they couldn't identify yet. However, based on its looks, it should be some type of Phantom Wolves here in the north.

"Tsk They are outnumbered. There are about 150 Dark Elves They are even riding those strong beasts. Ugh Why are they so arrogant and only sent 50 knights?"

Stella frowned as soon as she saw the difference in their numbers. She then glanced around the clear field, mountains, and forests She was hoping that the army had set up an ambush or reinforcement to fight against these Dark Elves. 

Unfortunately, even after using her Search Ward Arcane Magic, she didn't find any other arcanists, hunters, soldiers, or knights hiding around the area.

She glanced at Aria and noticed that she was also visibly worried. However, with just the two of them, they could hardly affect this battle as well. 

She would probably have no problem dealing with 3 Dark Elves mounted on those large wolves at the same time, however, killing them swiftly would be difficult. If he had to fight more than three, she would have no choice but to flee.

She wasn't underestimating herself but it was because she knows that these Dark Elves were too adept at curses She heard enough information from Lyrei, a Forest Elf.

At this time, Stella doesn't have a way to fight against curses yet! 

She may be able to defend against it with the Full-Body Armor in a brief time. But once her transformation time was over, she wouldn't be able to tell if she could survive their curses.

"They should've expected this already I'm sure that they didn't just come here without any plans."

Aria mumbled as she's still hoping for the best. 

"Let's just watch them then. In case Diether's in danger, I can probably try and save him with your support." Stella gave her idea.

Aria was visibly thankful as she nodded her head. Stella already knows that she has a Legendary-Rank Ring Arcana with her The ring might not give them a powerful attack but it is probably one of the best support-type Arcana. 

Boosting their defense and speed wouldn't be a huge problem for her. 

As the two forces met, one would expect that they would immediately engage in battle. However, they just stared at each other as they seem to be examining their opponents to determine their real strength.

Soon, Diether gave an order to assemble in a "V" formation with him and his vice-captain in front. 

Sha~ Sha~

They then withdrew their swords and waited for the Dark Elves to make a move. They can already see that the wolves they are riding on were salivating as if what was in front of them was their lunch instead of enemies. 

Whoossh~~

The temperature on the battlefield suddenly increased and even the two girls from afar felt this. 

"Those are the Solar Swords" Aria softly said after seeing the swords of the Knights.

"I knew it They're really that elite troops of Sun Fire Knights I've seen members of their Knights Order before and they don't have these oppressive swords with them. They're probably just carrying a Lite Solar Sword at that time." 

It was well known that the Sun Fire Knights are using their unique swords to fight against their enemies. 

Of course, the two didn't know that this is also their way to immediately scatter their Fire Essence. This essence was the medium they needed in order to activate their Hazy Flash Step within the battlefield. 

They would basically be capable of moving around everywhere as long as they have enough essence!

The battle soon started as the Dark Elves raised their staves to activate an Arcane Magic

A dark fog suddenly appeared behind them as it started to cover not just them but the entire battlefield.

However, perhaps because of the Fire Essence's presence, the dark fog stopped in front of Diether's troops. 

Awooo!

Awooo!

It seems to be a signal from the wolves as they started charging forward! 

The Knights braced themselves as they waited for the impact to come

"Now!"

Diether shouted as he ordered his team to unleash Arcane Formation!

"Battle Fury!" 

It is the name of the offensive Array as it boosted their abilities and weakened the enemies close to them. 

"Impressive!" Aria couldn't help but exclaim as soon as she noticed the Array that was used just now.

Most of the arrays that can be purchased were for protection or defensive barriers. There were rarely offensive arrays that can be found in the market or even in the Royal Academy. 

"Good! It seems that these dark elves couldn't use their curses! No wonder they managed to save General Julian and dared to face them here!"

Aria was happy to see that the first clash wasn't disadvantageous to the Sun Fire Knights. 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Dark Elves started clashing with the knights using their wooden staves. These staves seem to be special as the Solar Swords weren't capable of cutting them. 

The phantom wolves, on the other hand, seem to be struggling within the array that is protecting the Knights. 

"They're being surrounded. This will be a battle of life and death" Stella muttered after seeing Dark Elves' movements. 

Boom! Boom!

The explosion was deafening so the two girls immediately paid attention to the source of these earth-shattering attacks.

Then, they saw Diether's Vice-Captain holding an elegant bow as he targeted groups of elves charging at them.

None of the enemies were spared as the explosion destroyed the bodies of both elves and wolves in the area of the explosion!

"So powerful! Is that a Legendary Bow?" Stella couldn't help but praise the Knight who used the Arcane Magic.

"Mhmm I think so If not, maybe an Awakened Arcana instead. There's no way a normal Arcana can do such things." 

Aria commented as she heaves a sigh of relief. With such a cannon-like archer in their group, as long as he wasn't taken out immediately, they would soon gain an upper hand in this battle.
