"Hand over all your money and valuables! Otherwise, I'll smash this carriage to pieces, drag you out, and feed you to the wild dogs!"
The lead bandit's fleshy face quivered with malice as he swung his machete, viciously hacking at the carriage and sending wooden splinters flying.
"You think these two half-dead guards can stop us?"
The man inside the carriage spoke with a tearful voice, yet still tried to put up a brave front:
"D-don't be rash! I'll give you the money! Just please don't hurt anyone!"
"Should've done that in the first place!" The bandit grinned hideously. Just as he reached out to pull open the carriage door, his entire body suddenly stiffened—
Dozens of blue-glowing water bullets rained down from the side like a dense shower, instantly striking his back and knees!
"Aargh!" The lead bandit let out a miserable shriek. His knees gave way and he crashed to the ground. The water bullets had smashed bloody craters into his back, causing him to convulse in agonizing pain.
Before the two bandits next to him could react, they were blinded by the water bullets. They clutched their faces, rolling and wailing on the ground. The remaining bandits stumbled back in shock, looking around warily.
"Who is it?! Which blind fool dares to ruin our business!"
When they got a clear look at Elara standing not far away, they were momentarily stunned.
It was just a little girl with blue twin-tails, holding a staff. She still had a bit of baby fat on her cheeks and looked as though a gust of wind could blow her over.
"Where did this brat of a mage come from, daring to mess with us."
"Grab her!"
Three bandits exchanged a glance, and the one taking the lead began to glow with a green light.
"Speed Blessing!"
In the next second, he sprinted toward Elara at an incredibly fast speed!
Elara was so scared that her heart pounded wildly. Her palms were sweating, and her legs couldn't help but tremble slightly—
The look in these bandits' eyes was far more vicious than that of goblins. Their utterly evil and ferocious appearance was terrifying to look at!
"Don't panic! Use your fastest magic!" Ye Chuan's voice suddenly rang out in her mind, instantly calming Elara's fearful emotions.
It is Teacher...
Right, Teacher is still hiding in the shadows protecting me.
No, I can't be afraid.
Elara took a deep breath, suppressing the fear at the bottom of her heart.
She remembered the feeling of being shot by an arrow in the labyrinth—
The blue light at the tip of her staff surged brightly.
"Gugaga, High-Speed Incantation, Rapid Water Bullets!"
More and denser water bullets gushed out. This time, she aimed at the bandits' wrists and ankles—not hitting vital parts, but enough to make them lose their combat ability!
The charging bandit never expected Elara's magic casting speed to be so fast. Caught off guard, he was continuously hit by the water bullets, stumbling and face-planting onto the ground!
Water Bullet was the lowest-tier water-attribute magic, but its casting speed was extremely fast. Coupled with the fact that Elara had now mastered High-Speed Incantation, she could cast magic almost instantly.
"Water Cannon!" Seeing the water bullets succeed, Elara gave a low shout, condensing a relatively thin water cannon that accurately struck the bandit's chest.
The impact of the water cannon sent him flying backwards. He slammed heavily onto the ground, completely unable to get back up.
"She is actually this tough!"
"She is no ordinary mage, at least Tier 2 or above!"
"Spread out! Everyone spread out!"
However, when facing a mage, this group of bandits naturally had experience. They chose to scatter their positions, so that Elara would not only have to expend energy aiming but also be unable to cover all directions.
"Not good." In the shadows, Torres gripped his greatsword tightly, wanting to rush up and help, but was stopped by Ye Chuan raising his hand.
Elara also noticed this, but she didn't panic at all. Instead, she condensed and shrank the size of her water bullets again, finally shaping them into the form of arrows.
"Gutana, High-Speed Incantation, Water Arrows—Volley of Ten Thousand Arrows!"
Hundreds of water arrows were condensed, shooting toward the group of bandits like a torrential rain!
After the water arrows were compressed, they acted like high-pressure water guns, piercing through the bodies of those bandits one by one. Once Elara faced her own true strength, a battle that was inherently a one-sided crush could naturally be won with ease!
After a chorus of screams, the group of bandits had lost their ability to fight, collapsing to the ground one after another.
Elara looked at the wailing bandits on the ground. Her chest heaved violently, and her palms were covered in cold sweat, but she couldn't help revealing a trace of a smile.
She did it.
"Teacher, I did it!" Elara turned her head to look in Ye Chuan's direction.
Right at that moment, Ye Chuan and the others stepped out from the shadows. Seeing Elara's excited appearance, Ye Chuan simply said,
"Don't get cocky."
"Hehe."
At this time, the carriage door not far away opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe and sporting a handlebar mustache stepped out. He still wore a look of lingering fear on his face.
Seeing the ground littered with bandits and Elara's group standing to the side, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the four of them.
"Thank you all, my benefactors, for coming to my rescue! I am Cohen, a merchant from Valoran City. I was returning from purchasing goods in a neighboring city, never expecting to run into robbers."
Two maids following behind Cohen also hurried forward to express their thanks, their eyes full of gratitude.
Elara waved her hands a bit shyly.
"You are welcome, I just did what I had to do."
Ye Chuan stepped forward, sizing up Cohen, and asked, "Is the public order around the main city of Valoran this bad? To think there are bandits?"
Cohen sighed upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.
"You might not know this, but for the past few months, Valoran hasn't been peaceful. People frequently go missing in the city for no reason. Rumor has it that even some nobles have disappeared..."
"And although the Lord says he wants to catch the culprit, there have been no results."
He lowered his voice.
"Privately, everyone is spreading rumors that some monster is behind it, but no one has ever seen what that monster looks like."
Ye Chuan stroked his chin.
Then he roughly knew what was going on.
"Thanks for letting us know." Ye Chuan nodded.
"We are heading to Valoran City right now. I wonder if Mr. Cohen could recommend a place with a lot of information."
Upon hearing this, Cohen quickly said, "Oh, benefactor, you are too polite! Why don't you all come with me to Valoran, so that I can do my part as a host and repay your life-saving grace!"
"Alright." Ye Chuan did not refuse.
Elara followed by Ye Chuan's side and whispered:
"Teacher, I wasn't scared at all just now! Aren't I amazing?"
Ye Chuan patted Elara's head and suddenly said, "Elara, I will teach you something new."
"What is it?"
"Using magic sometimes requires a bit of imagination." Ye Chuan led Elara to the front of a bandit. At this moment, the bandit's gaze was cold and sinister, like a venomous snake ready to bite at any time.
"Imagination...?" Elara said. "Do you mean the water arrows?"
"No." Ye Chuan said.
"Elara, since you are a water-element mage, do you know that the blood in the human body is also a liquid?"
This single sentence left Elara stunned over and over again, as if something had just clicked in her mind. "Teacher..."
Ye Chuan looked at the bandit glaring deadly at him and simply smiled. "You can manipulate water like this."
His finger twitched slightly, and the bandit before him turned deathly pale. The whites of the bandit's eyes began to become bloodshot at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!" A miserable scream rang out.
Elara stammered, "T-Teacher, what happened to him?"
"I just reversed the blood flow in his body until his heart burst, that's all," Ye Chuan said to Elara with a smile.
"Understand?"
"There are still many ways to use water."
