Chapter 141 Captured Battle Maniac
Chapter 141 Captured Battle Maniac
As the sun rose to the small prison cell that looked like a dark abyss, the group of female warriors gathered around their captive Ubela.
She was tied to a wooden post, her clothes torn and her hair dishevelled. She glared defiantly at her captors, her eyes filled with hatred and anger. Soon Zenda and Lydia also entered looking at the fang less ferocious tiger hoping, she would at least answer them after all those tortures.
One of the women stepped forward, her eyes fixed on Ubela with her own hatred and anger that could even beat what Ubela had.
"Bitch you are our enemy, you killed my friends," she said, her voice cold and filled with rage.
"You have no right to be treated like this, you should be hanged in front of the main gate."
Ubela spat at the woman's feet. "I have every right to be treated like this, Your girls died because they were weak, I'm tied to this pole because I was defeated by your monster," she hissed.
"Bring him here, I have no business with weaklings like you."
The pride in her voice was apparent enough. It was rather obvious that she was looking down on everyone in the kingdom, except Nikol because when Nikol questioned her, she acted all happy even though he beat her worse than the other girls.
"Tell us, Ubela," Zenda said in a gentle voice.
"Why did your people attack us? What do you hope to achieve?" She wanted to know what they wanted to do after wiping out the other races. and how they got this strange case power.
Ubela sneered at their question.
"We attack you because you are weak," she said with a smile showing her missing teeth and bruised eye.
"We hope to destroy you and take over this land for ourselves and only the strong will survive." Her words were aggressive and antagonizing but, Lydia had a vague idea that her words are fueled by her own emotion and Eldora had something else in her mind.
"What strong? all of you are just depending on that cursed magic, all of you're just a bunch of cowards hiding behind those cursed transformations," Hoping to provoke Ubela, Lydia muttered those words and it really worked with her as her eyes suddenly shot up with anger hearing those words.
"It's not me, I didn't use those vile magic to defeat any of your girls, I used my own strength and killed them," Ubela shouted trying to show that her words were true.
"Is that so? I thought your people were just cowards but now I understand you all are just a bunch of liars too," Lydia provoked her even more, causing her to get riled up trying to break free from her chains.
"Release me now! I will show why your girls lose to me, while I crushed their heads,"
"Well, of course, it is because you used cursed magic,"
"Fucking hell! Why don't you understand? I didn't use any magic, I can't even use curse magic now," Without even realising it, she said something rather absurd that caught Zenda's interest.
"Ohhh! now isn't that interesting," She had a vague idea about the cause of this, but at the same time she knew even without curse magic, Ubela is dangerous.
They just wanted to agitate her to the full and extract some information and it really worked with her as soon as Lydia started mocking her martial arts.
"I bet Eldora didn't even care about your martial arts, she just wanted you to curse us," Zenda also joined and started to do the same thing.
"She didn't and that's why I decided to improve my skills until I can beat her even with her grasp of cursed magic," She muttered in a dissatisfied voice showing her real objective.
Then unknown to Ubela, she started talking showing how she wasn't the most loyal soldier to Eldora, even though she was one of the highest in rank.
"I bet that power wasn't even her, I heard the rumours that our real queen had some part in that power," Lydia's eyes twitched hearing those words.
"What do you mean?"
"Eldora wasn't always like that, she was friendly before everything started but when she returned after leaving the queendom, she didn't look like herself anymore, It was almost like something happened to her," Ubela said.
"I saw multiple times Eldora talking to herself, I think something is giving her that power," Then she stopped talking and realised, she was giving information to the enemy but at this point, she didn't really care about it.
"I want to talk with that, I want to ask how it got so strong without using magic, Can I meet him in exchange for all this information?" Ubela asked showing, she wasn't an ignorant girl, who carelessly muttered all the important information.
"Do you know anything about that white-haired woman?" Ignoring her request for a moment, Lydia questioned again, but Ubela looked at her with a confused face hearing that.
"White-haired woman? what are you talking about?" She looked honestly confused and it didn't surprise her as she was in the prison, even when the battle was going on.
Having nothing else to discuss with her, Lydia and Zenda both tried to leave the room, but Ubela again disturbed them asking for Nikol's presence.
"He's not here, if you want to meet him, tell us more important things about Eldora or else just rot here, just like how rotten your race is," Leaving those words with her, they left the prison and went to meet other's, who were getting ready for the next battle.

Treiya guided the whole army through the forest without even letting any of them get injured by the wild monsters in the dangerous part of the forest.
It took them a considerable time to get ready but within four days, they managed to pack everything up and gather all the healthy warriors to participate in this battle.
Usha and Nym didn't come with them, but everyone else including Eva, who was injured also participated since she proved that she can fight after beating people while training.
"This is the correct way right?" Looking around the dense forest, Lydia questioned as she didn't have confidence about Treiya's navigation.
"Don't worry, as long as we follow all the abandoned bases of cursed elves, we can easily find the dark elf kingdom," She said showing that there's no way anything can go with her guidance.
*Sigh
"Three battles in a row, we don't even have any time to rest, goddess must really hate us," Zenda muttered clearly tired by all the incidents that took place.
"Goddess this! Goddess that! I will tell the truth but, my faith in her is slowly diminishing," Alva muttered clearly disappointed by it.
She didn't even care about what others thought because clearly Nikol also hated the goddess for what she did to his relationship with them.
"Don't say that!" Zenda wanted to scold her and advise her not to say something like that, but she didn't as her anger was justified.
Zenda thought that If even her own son hated the goddess then what else can they say?
Talking with each other they travelled through the dense forest with a team of skilled warriors at their side, the alliance warriors set out on their journey through the dense forest. They faced many challenges along the way, from treacherous terrain to fierce monsters that lurked in the shadows of these amazingly tall trees.
But the girls were undeterred. They pushed on, driven by their determination to reach the dark elf queendom and uncover its secrets and find the dark elven queen, who was supposed to be there.
None of them got harmed on their way since they faced even more challenging stuff in the past few days and for most of them, the forest was like a child's playground.
As they walked deeper into the forest, the group noticed that the trees began to thin out. Soon, they saw a giant structure of stones in the distance. It was the first sign of civilization, which they had been searching for in the forest.
The wall grew bigger as they approached, and soon they found themselves standing at the edge of a dense forest, which was the end of their journey and the beginning of their battle. In the centre of the clearing was a magnificent palace, made of dark stone and decorated with intricate carvings, which proudly stood with pride showing this was indeed their main castle.
"At last we are here," Zenda muttered and took her weapons, in case they had remaining dark elves protecting the city.
"..."
Treiya just kept looking at the walls with a sad look until she got disturbed by Lydia, who shook her shoulders bringing her back to the present.
"Sorry for doubting you," She said in a grateful voice.
They exchanged a look, then nodded to each other showing none of them was angry about such mundane things and got ready to enter their final goal and hope of rescuing Nikol from the hand of the wicked white-haired woman, who stole him from their lovers.
