The impact of Xisha’s appearance was not as widespread as the Demon Race invasion.
Even though she could instantly kill anyone she faced, she was still only one person.
For the tens of thousands of Elves, as long as she wasn’t coming for them, they were safe.
Therefore, even after a complete defeat in the Sealed Land and the loss of hundreds of elite warriors, the Elves’ organization could still function normally.
“Until the last moment, Elder Cuiniya did not retreat. She fought to the end, and every blade of grass and tree around her remembered her pride as an Elf.”
After mourning for their comrades, the remaining Elders sat down and began the heavy meeting.
“Based on all known information, we can confirm the following points.”
“First, Xisha is invincible. All her kills are instant, regardless of attack method. However, she only has three days.”
“Second, during these three days, she will do everything to find a female Elf aged 1,333, whose original name is Sally, and kill her to complete the ritual.”
At this point, the Elders all paused simultaneously.
They already had their suspicions.
As Terika had said, in the entire Elf Tribe, there were only a few dozen around that age.
Thinking about those close to them, the answer came easily.
“Third, if she doesn’t find the person in three days, she will fail, and then…”
“Then what~?”
A sudden voice interrupted their discussion.
The bald Elder looked up and was so frightened he jumped.
“You! How are you here!”
The little girl giggled at them.
“Because I ran a little too fast. On the way, I grabbed someone and asked where I could find the person I was looking for. He told me that here were the most knowledgeable and familiar people in the entire Elf Tribe, so I came~”
Four Elders.
Except for the bald one who had jumped up, the others said nothing, cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.
They already knew what would happen today, and were prepared.
“So, I thought you must know who I’m looking for and where she is.”
Xisha’s small body climbed onto the table, her head rotating 180 degrees to look at a good-looking male Elf Elder.
“Do you know? Tell me quickly.”
The male Elf Elder swallowed, shut his eyes, and pressed his lips tightly together.
The next second, his head fell to the ground.
“Ah! I’ll talk, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
The bald Elder who had first jumped up was terrified out of his wits.
“It’s Isadora! It must be her! She disappeared a few days ago, definitely went into hiding!”
“Look!”
“Traitor!”
The other two glared at him in anger, but it was too late. Xisha grabbed him and dragged him outside.
“Tell me properly, how has Isadora lived all these years, and where does she reside.”
When they got outside, the bald Elder realized she hadn’t come alone.
Several young and strong Elves stood outside.
Judging from their attire, they belonged to the Magician Array, and like him, had been captured.
Another name for Magician was Plant Whisperer.
Isadora’s treehouse was found quickly.
Under Xisha’s threat, several Magicians communicated with the plants near the treehouse, asking where the owner had gone days ago.
“Five people left, each in a different direction.”
The Magician said cautiously.
“It’s been too long. They can’t retain a clear image.”
“So she hid in advance, huh? How cunning, Sally.”
A cruel smile appeared on the little girl’s face.
Just five people. Wouldn’t it be fine to kill them all?
***
Lambart didn’t expect such a heavy atmosphere at home.
Especially the pained looks on the children’s faces.
Even he, a man whose heart was dead, couldn’t help but comfort them.
“Don’t be too pessimistic. Maybe there’ll be a way later. Look at what I’ve been through. The big sister I liked told me herself she never loved me, only wanted a child. Before that, she’d already found dozens of male Elves… Wuwuwu…”
As he spoke, he couldn’t hold back and began to cry.
Ella sighed.
“The Elves’ fertility rate is really low. No wonder after tens of thousands of years there are still only tens of thousands of you.”
If only you had even half the reproductive power of us humans… no, even half that of the Demon Race, there’d be at least several million in the Middle Great Forest.
She didn’t believe Xisha could find anyone then.
“Not good! Everyone, it’s not good!”
Terika pulled Silitya in, the latter’s face still streaked with tears.
“We just saw that Xisha hijacked the Elder Council, captured several Magicians, and tracked down Elder Isadora’s home!”
Since the enemy already knew, there was no need to hide the name any longer.
Ella immediately turned to look out the window.
Glowing dots shimmered through the Forest — the sign of night.
Only three days total, and by the first night, Xisha had already locked onto her target.
It was worth mentioning that not all the news Silitya brought back was bad.
Through the plants, she had seen what happened at the Elder’s Treehouse — after one Elder was killed, the bald Elder got so scared he switched sides immediately. Xisha took him and left, ignoring the other two.
In other words, as long as you didn’t interfere with her actions, it wasn’t so dangerous.
Ella gritted her teeth and slapped the table.
“Tomorrow, we follow! From a thousand meters away!”
At that distance, her ‘Undead Eye’ could be useful.
***
The first to be found and killed was a subordinate who had fled to the Northern Border.
He had been carefully avoiding the Demon Race on the other side of the border, only to turn around and see a little girl.
“Which child are you? What are you doing here? Hurry home—”
Then his head fell to the ground.
Xisha’s speed was far beyond everyone’s expectations.
Even before Ella and the others could catch up, she had already reached the next place.
By noon, more than half of the second day had passed, and Xisha had already killed three people.
They never made it to any of the scenes.
“Forget it, forget it. Stop following.”
Ella, out of breath, reorganized the team.
“You youngsters go back first. We’ll pursue on Dragon Hawks.”
Terika and the others didn’t want to give up, but being too weak, they were forcibly sent back.
That damned pink-haired one even said if a fight broke out, they’d only drag everyone down.
What more could be said?
They could only return to the gathering place for idle personnel.
As for the Hero team, once they mounted their Dragon Hawks, they immediately headed for the final area.
Southeastern edge of the Middle Great Forest.
Night had fallen.
Compared to the core, the edge had fewer glowing plants and lower visibility.
Isadora sat quietly on a large stone, waiting as those cheerful footsteps approached.
“Found you, Sally.”
The little girl’s neck stretched out, bringing her face close.
“Why did you change your name? Were you afraid I’d come looking for you?”
