Chapter 86: You’re Telling Me This Is an Entry-level Sprite?!

Time returned to a few minutes ago.

Reverie Butterfly flew towards the core area of the Storm Belt.

The Killer Mantis and the Bursting Flame Bat were both elite-level. A mere mid-level storm in the Valley of Sighs… didn’t pose much of a problem for them.

One was nearly a meter long, and the other was the size of a round table. The two sprites quickly caught up to the petite Little Reverie Butterfly.

They were like two big men, showing their fierce teeth.

Fire Ball!

Hot fireballs blasted out.

Killer Mantis circled behind, waiting for the moment only to see Reverie Butterfly dodging the fire ball, or Reverie Butterfly throwing out an Energy Ball to intercept its Fire Ball, causing an explosion.

But…

The Reverie Butterfly didn’t dodge, and even showed mockery.

“A little…”

The huge ball of fire rolled over. But as the wind blew, the ball of fire shifted, flew past Reverie Butterfly, and disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.

Mantis Killer was stunned.

It looked at the Bursting Flame Bat.

Didn’t you say that it was your turn to attack it first and then my turn later? How am I supposed to fight now?

Killer Mantis still rushed forward.

Just now, the Sprite Trainer was the one who ordered them to capture it alive, so it held back.

Otherwise, this little butterfly would have long been like the Leaf Blade Warrior.

Now, it didn’t need to keep its saber so its figure flashed.

Slash!

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Its saber light flashed with might as fierce as a tiger.

Right from the start, it used its most proficient killing move.

It hit…

Afterimages one after another.

Miss!

Miss!

MISS… S… S!

Killer Mantis, which was leaping from the left to the right, was stunned.

There was something wrong with its feeling of the saber!

The Bursting Flame Bat didn’t dare to shoot any more fireballs. Against the storm, its large wings flapped forcefully.

Its red fangs burst into flames, and its mouth opened wide.

Flame Tooth!

The Reverie Butterfly flapped its wings lightly and flew towards the direction of the wind. Like a light green leaf, it covered quite a distance in the blink of an eye.

The elite-level Bursting Flame Bat couldn’t quite catch up.

The cold wind blew into his mouth and almost extinguished the flames.

It gritted its teeth and learned from Reverie Butterfly to resist and fly along with the wind.

Then…

Then, it was knocked unconscious by the strong wind.

The Killer Mantis had a stronger resistance against the wind.

It went straight. Even if it glided at a low altitude, its blade arm could cut through the storm. It didn’t encounter much resistance.

Its speed was even a bit faster than the Bursting Flame Bat.

It was like a sharp knife, directly stabbing… stabbing…

Before the Mantis arrived, a ball of light came first.

Eat my Energy Ball~!

The Energy Ball was not affected by the storm at all. It accurately attacked Killer Mantis.

Killer Mantis, who was in the midst of chasing, waved its blade arm and blocked everything. The Energy Ball exploded with a boom. Amidst the dust and smoke, a dark green figure rushed out. Its speed was not slow at all.

But…

Continue eating my Energy Ball~!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Killer Mantis was not good at long-distance attacks. It threw out a few Leaf Blade flying sabers without any aim in the storm.

It couldn’t get any closer.

The only time it got close was with its five missed slashes.

It could only take a passive stance and get beaten by the butterfly.

The Bursting Flame Bat was like a dumb teammate, being of no help at all!

…

Outside the Storm Belt, the two Sprite Hunters were a little anxious.

“Why haven’t they returned after so long?”

They couldn’t enter the Storm Belt, nor could they catch up if they chased after the butterfly, so they could only let the two sprites chase after it alone.

Without their commands and judgment of the situation, the sprites’ fighting styles might be more straightforward.

But Reverie Butterfly also didn’t have a Sprite Trainer to command it.

And it was just an entry-level sprite.

“That Reverie Butterfly is not any weaker than the Leaf Blade Warrior. I didn’t expect it to be that strong right after it just evolved. No wonder there are so many rewards for it on the Dark Net.”

“That’s right. Although the evolution conditions of Reverie Butterfly had already been made public, the first sprite that managed to evolve by chance definitely has extraordinary characteristics. Some organizations like to study such sprites.”

“It’s none of our business. We just need to catch the Reverie Butterfly. It doesn’t matter whether it’s alive or dead.”

“I only hope that its Sprite Trainer doesn’t have enough soul power to summon his sprite back.”

After all, according to their guesses.

The two of them should be hiding in the Storm Belt, somewhere where the storm wasn’t too strong.

But the attack of the wind blades was enough to consume a large amount of their soul power.

Or maybe they weren’t calm enough, in their panic, Sprite Commandeering would fail repeatedly—they had seen this situation quite a lot before.

After all, he was just a high school student. What scenes could he have seen before?

The two Sprite Hunters waited for another two minutes.

The uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.

If Reverie Butterfly was summoned away, the two sprites should have already returned.

If they didn’t, it was impossible that they couldn’t finish off a mere entry-level sprite after such a long time.

“Something’s wrong, it’s time to retreat.”

Strong winds howled in the Valley of Sighs. It was useless to shout.

The two focused their attention and called for their sprites through the connection of the contracts.

Not long after…

A dizzy Bursting Flame Bat and a somewhat miserable-looking Killer Mantis rushed out of the snowstorm.

They narrated the battle process with grievance.

The expressions of the two Sprite Hunters turned to disbelief. “How is this possible? That’s just an entry-level sprite!”

If the Sprite Trainer of the Killer Mantis didn’t know that his sprite was a cold and merciless killer, he would have suspected that it was just teasing him.

But they had no time to think.

“I estimate that in another four to five minutes, Sprite Trainers from the Valley of Sighs will be coming our way. We have to leave.”

He looked up.

On the cliff, an entry-level Vine Snake popped its head out and threw out the vines it had prepared. Then, using the its ability, it controlled the vines and wrapped them around the two humans before pulling them up.

At this moment…

Two Energy Balls flew over.

It didn’t hit the two sprite hunters, but instead hit the vines that were hanging from the middle of the rock wall.

Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat, who were waiting below as they protected their owners, couldn’t stop it in time.

The Sprite Hunters didn’t expect that the Reverie Butterfly would be so bold. They could only watch helplessly as the vines… broke.

They didn’t climb too high up so their sprites caught them when they fell.

They was so angry that their whole bodies shook.

Being caught by their prey instead of successfully hunting them was simply a humiliation on their hunter’s resume!

Under their command, the two sprites leaped forward again.

The Bursting Flame Bat spat out a few small fireballs, but it didn’t care about its accuracy. In order to restrict the movement space of Reverie Butterfly, the Killer Mantis carried the thought of washing away the humiliation with blood and turned into a dark green light shadow, before flying away.

“Gurgle~”

The Reverie Butterfly danced, its figure swaying with the wind.

It didn’t fly out of the Storm Belt at all!

Killer Mantis who pounced onto it missed its attack.

It turned around and charged over again. At this point, Reverie Butterfly had already hid deeper into its spot.

When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy retreats, I harass them.

Reverie Butterfly understood this very well.

It didn’t even pay attention to the Killer Mantis and the Bursting Flame Bat. It just stared at the two sprite hunters and scolded them.

On the contrary, the hunters became the ones with a weak spot.

…

The guard’s main sprite was an elite-level Clear Jade Lotus.

A Wood-Element Sprite that was good at assisting.

The sprite looked like a white jade lotus flower in full bloom. It was as big as a lotus seat and floated half a meter above the ground.

The body of the Clear Jade Lotus exuded a faint white glow. It was a supplementary skill, also known as Protection.

It covered a larger area.

It enveloped Su Hao and the middle-aged guard.

It allowed them to cross the Storm Belt without any qualms.

When Su Hao and the middle-aged guard rushed out of the Storm Belt and came here…

They then saw the injured and exhausted Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat.

And two miserable elite hunters.

The Reverie Butterfly was hiding far away, throwing an Energy Ball at them from time to time. When it saw Su Hao, it flew over happily.

It stretched out its little hand to claim credit.

“Gurgle, gurgle~~”

The guard uncle was stunned.

Didn’t you say that your sprite is being hunted by Sprite Hunters? They have two extremely fierce and evil elite-level sprites.

And your sprite is only a weak and pitiful entry level.

The situation was extremely critical.

But no matter how he looked at it, there was something wrong.

The elite-level Killer Mantis was riddled with wounds. It had been hit by the Energy Ball to save its owner.

The Bursting Flame Bat wasn’t any better. It actually looked a little fearful when facing the Reverie Butterfly.

Those were two Elite-level sprites!

Is your Reverie Butterfly really just entry level!?

Although the guard uncle had a lot to say, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately ordered his main sprite, Clear Jade Lotus, and an entry-level high-level sprite, Whirlwind Rabbit, to pounce on the two exhausted hunters.
