Elves weren't great at defense and couldn't do much to protect themselves from the serial lightning .
Anfey was a very cruel person . Even though he felt guilty, he still did not want to waste time talking to the elves after being rejected .
All the archers in the camp were victims of his attack . Because most of the elves were in the same area, it saved Anfey a lot of time . The lightning could easily strike several elves at once, leaving them either dead or paralyzed and unable fight .
As the lightning dimmed, Anfey readied himself for another spell .
Dark red light shone through the ground, followed immediately by the formation of a large lava pool . Usually, lava pools have no effect on elves . However, a lot of the elves were unable to move and unable to get away from the lava .

Most of the elves' faces showed great confusion and fear, which made Anfey feel very guilty about what he was doing . He turned his face away so he wouldn't be distracted .
"No!" a voice distracted Anfey . He turned and saw a male elf running towards him .
Anfey knew the elf . He was one of the best archers there . Seeing his companions and friends dying, he was clearly very distraught and did not think about what he was doing . He was an archer and should keep his distance, but he was running towards his opponent .
Usually, archers weren't the most brave people . Only swordsmen had the guts to run towards their enemies because they were well-protected by their combat power . Archers should be calm and collected in order to assess a situation . Clearly, this elf had forgotten that he should remain calm .
Anfey sighed . He streaked through the air towards the elf, elements forming into a small storm around him .
The elf saw Anfey's face but he did not recognize him immediately . It was only after he saw the elemental storm around him that he remembered who Anfey was .
The elf tried to change his path and nocked an arrow . He was one of the best archers among the elves and had the ability to attack under any circumstances . However, both Anfey and he were very fast, and by the time he wanted to change his course, it was too late .
Anfey summoned his axe as the elf released a beam of green light . Anfey and the elf crashed into each other, both disappearing in a cloud of debris . A moment later, Anfey's figure reappeared, standing tall, but the elf was already limp on the ground .
The elves that were standing nearby were spared, but had lost all will to fight after seeing the death of their commanders and their squad leader . Elves did not like fighting in the first place . Without someone to command them, all they wanted to do was leave .
The northwestern corner of Blackwater City was also under attack . Countless fireballs, lightning, and wind blades were hurled at someone standing on the city wall . The figure did not move to avoid being hit . Instead, he simply raised his arms and deflected the attack . "Suzanna!" he bellowed . "Are you so cowardly that you won't even face me?"
"Save it," Anthony called in return . "I never thought you would stoop so low! Where is your fairness when you attacked Suzanna?"
"Anthony!" Manstuly called back . "You're the one to talk! You're just Anfey's lapdog! A dog, I say!"
"Better a lapdog than a dead one like you," Anthony replied calmly .
Manstuly was very rude, and his words would have angered another more narrow-minded person . However, Anthony did not let the words bother him . He was fighting with Suzanna not only because he was trying to break into the city, but also because he was trying to protect Suzanna . He knew that the only person Manstuly hated enough among them was Suzanna . Even if Suzanna agreed to fight against Manstuly, Anthony would try to stop or help her .
Anthony's history with Suzanna and Anfey not had been a good one . His wife tried to kill Alice, and Mourtta tried to plant a seed of doubt in Anthony's heart by sending Otto with a secret . However, Antony had already betrayed Ellisen Empire . He was a mercenary, but he did not like betrayal . He would not betray Yolanthe again . Anfey's reaction to Nishieva's plan made Anthony trust him . Anfey must have known Nishieva was part of the plan to kill Alice, but he didn't do anything . This was why Anthony decided that Anfey was a good man to work with .
Entos's figure flashed into existence behind Manstuly and slashed at him with a dagger . Manstuly ducked easily and Entos disappeared from the city walls again .
"What are we waiting for?" Entos asked as he reappeared, waving his dagger .
Christian smiled, then turned and gave an order to the mages . He only had about a hundred mages with him, but the combined power of a hundred mages was still a significant threat . The mages raised their hands and chanted together . A large bolt of lightning crackled into existence and struck Manstuly .
Lightning spells were very dangerous, even Anfey could not get away from a lightning spell . Manstuly had gone berserk, but he was still a little bit slower than lightning .
Anthony waved his sword and he burst into light with combat power . He dashed towards the city . Suzanna followed right behind, bursting into light as well .
Entos disappeared, then reappeared behind Manstuly, stabbing at him with his dagger . Even someone like Manstuly was not immune to the paralyzing effects of lightning spells . Entos was just a mage, but he was still able to stab Manstuly and injure him .
Before Manstuly could react, Anthony and Suzanna were upon him, light from their combat power blinding .
Christian watched from afar, ready to attack . He sighed, remembering the first time he met Manstuly . He knew that things had came to this because of Manstuly's ambition, but he still felt bad .
