"Let's finish this, experiments are over," Ibalina said after carefully observing the battlefield.

She saw that the alliance is getting used to dealing with transformations. Ibalina didn't want to risk valuable resources and danger with Lydia forming a plan to deal with them in future.

"Are we going to charge now?"

Nafina questioned with an impatient look on her face. Even though she wasn't crazy about fighting like Ubela, she wanted to wet her hands with blood because of how sadistic she was from the moment she was born.

"Of course, look at Ubela, she's making a mess, I saw her killing some of our own troops too," Ibalina didn't lie this time, because Ubela really killed anyone that got in her way, be it friend or foe.

After giving orders to everyone and gathering the force, Ibalina, and Nafina reached the fully opened gate near the battlefield. They had no doubts about their own victory since this was a too-one-sided battlefield.

With their transformation and dark elves who possessed curse magic, defeating thousands of humans and elves felt like child's play for them.

On their way, Zenda's group tried to shoot them with arrows, but Ibalina didn't wait for arrows to create holes in their bodies and welcome death with open arms, they used monster materials as their shields so penetrating them with normal arrows felt almost impossible.

"Charge! Charge! Kill every single human and elf,"

All the dark elves had their own swords, but none of them really used them. They simply tried to touch someone to curse them.

Zenda who noticed this development couldn't help but sweat profusely. This was the last thing she wanted to happen right now, but just as she expected, they came into the battlefield to protect their 'precious' transformation.

"Lydia, they are coming," Zenda gave a quick warning to her before, searching for other girls.

Her eyes bulged so hard seeing the number of casualties on their side, but she had to keep moving forward without stopping for the sake of the dead girls.

Unable to come up with a plan to overcome the despair of this situation and the death of her comrades, Lydia decided to face Ibalina and Nafina.

At the first glance, she could tell that they were not normal, but looking at how massive their curses are, Lydia was pretty sure that her mana stone won't be able to hold until she defeat them.

"Nikol, looks like this is it for me," Her heart was sinking in despair thinking that, she won't be able to see Nikol anymore.

"Sorry, I had to break our promise," Muttering to herself, while taking her two-handed sword, Lydia tried to charge into a fight with Ibalina and Nafina at the same time.

She didn't know what happened to her sister, and even though she was worried about her, Lydia couldn't even think about leaving the battlefield to her juniors and letting them die meaninglessly.

Running along the shortest path, Lydia attacked both dolls and dark elves who blocked her path, slicing them into two different parts with her sharp sword.

Zenda who noticed her charging straight into the enemy territory quickly tried to stop her since losing someone talented like her right now was a huge blow to the alliance.

"Stop Lydia, don't charge all alone," Zenda shouted hoping to get her attention.

Lydia also heard her voice and unlike Eva, who won't abide by anyone's words, Lydia actually stopped running and looked at Zenda.

"Zenda, we can't afford to let them run havoc in the middle of the battlefield," Lydia said while pointing at Ibalina and Nafina, who were already using their curse magic to kill their girls.

It was a creepy scene to look at because, unlike other normal dark elves, they didn't even bother to contact their prey as getting close to them was enough for elven and human girls to get affected by this vile curse magic.

"How are we going to deal with that? We can't get too close, if we could sneak attack-" Zenda understood the situation with one glance.

"I will create a diversion, you can try to assassinate them, we have no choice, close combat is out of the question," Both of them formed a plan instead of suicide charging like Eva.

Going by their plan, Lydia kept her distance from them and picked some stones which looked quite deadly and big. She got onto a tall tree that was in opposite direction to where Zenda was staying and without hiding, she decided to throw stones at Nafina and Ibalina.

At first, Ibalina and Nafina didn't even bother with this petty attack which lacked the firepower to harm them, they just kept doing what they are doing and tried to kill, as many as girls they can to finish this quickly and go back to reporting about this incident to their queen.

Suddenly, a stone travelling at tremendous speed crashed upon Nafina's head, forcing her to bleed from her forehead and giving her a furious expression.

"Bitch! Who did this?" Shouting hysterically with anger, Nafina took her sword which was sheathed this whole time, since she had no reason to take it until now.

Ibalina also put her attention on Nafina, who was going berserk with blood on her head.

"Calm down, what are you doing? Don't make a scene here," Angered by her behaviour, Ibalina shouted but they couldn't keep arguing as Zenda suddenly tried to attack them from behind.

They were caught off-guard by this attack but still with their curse magic always active forming something like a barrier, Zenda failed as her mana stone suddenly cracked and got destroyed into oblivion creating a big sound. She knew if she stayed there hoping to attack them, she would get cursed so Zenda quickly retreated.

"Sneak attack! I should have expected at least that much from you people," Ibalina muttered seeing how they were protected by the curse once again.

As soon as Zenda retreated, she signalled Lydia that their attack failed so they could come up with a new plan.

"Damn it! They are invincible as long as they have that absurd ability, Damn it," Furiously, Zenda kicked a rock breaking it into pieces showing how angry she was. It was too painful for her to watch her girls dying on the battlefield one by one because of these vile attacks.

At first, she thought about retreating from the battlefield, but they knew those dark elves who managed to come up with a plan this clever won't leave the back of their yard unprotected letting this escape from here.

After a few minutes, Lydia also changed plans and joined Zenda hoping to create a new plan but she had a terrified face, which actually worried Zenda.

"Lydia, what happened?" Shaking her shoulder to jolt her back to the present, Zenda questioned. After looking at Zenda's eyes for a minute she opened her mouth with the most absurd news.

"Sister... Eva got defeated, I saw her lying on the floor with some bitch stepping on her face," Lydia's whole body went pale upon seeing this terrifying image.

She couldn't believe that Eva, who was the most talented in close combat even more than Usha and Zenda got beaten up like that. There was only one question in her mind right now,

Was she alive or dead?

Lydia wanted to run there and confirm this, but she wanted to convince herself that Eva was alive.

"Haahaa! There's no way that muscle-brained idiot sister of mine would accept defeat like that," Lydia's voice trembled when she talked with Zenda.

She noticed this and the only thing she could think of was how would Nikol take this.

This entire battle was a mistake in the first place. The defence they had against the absolute power of the cursed magic wasn't even perfect as it couldn't even protect most of the people.

This was truly a one-sided battle at its peak from the number of casualties for the alliance.

Without having any idea, how to deal with this problem, Zenda could only hope someone to protect them but this time those broad and muscular arms weren't there to hug her from behind and whisper into her ear that, everything will be alright.

"Ahhh... Nikol, I wanted to see you, at least one time before all this," Zenda muttered to herself while calming down Lydia, who was freaking out.

She couldn't even finish thinking about this. Suddenly, she heard a big explosion near the area where Eva was supposed to be fighting Ubela.

"What was that?" Zenda questioned as Lydia freaked out even more.

Breaking free from Zenda's hug, she quickly climbed the tree and tried to search for the source of the sound only to see something rather surprising.

She felt her heart beating so fast, her body which was previously pale suddenly gained some colour as she felt relieved. She had to pinch herself a few times to confirm that she wasn't dreaming since what she saw was something impossible to happen.

What she saw was the figure of a tall and handsome man with messy hair, which was familiar to most of the girls on the battlefield.

Most of them felt happy to see him, but at the same time, they were confused.

"Nikol," Lydia muttered with a relieved look while trying to take a closer look.
