Rise My Elementals! - Chapter 746

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

It was really out of Osborne’s expectation that Selina could actually be this strong. Even though he is an Orc, she is still able to contend against him.

“Are you a Bear or something?” Osborne asked in curiosity.

“Is that a compliment or an insult?” Selina replied while narrowing her eyes.

“Well, it depends on how you perceive it to be,” Osborne said before letting out a chuckle.

“Base on your reaction, then I’ll interpret your words as you insulting me,” Selina cliched her arm. Soon after, she threw a punch towards Osborne again, “Take this!”

Just like the last time, Osborne simply raised his shield to block from Selina’s punch. But this time, he made sure to exert even more strength on his arm holding the shield. Otherwise, Selina would just be able to push him once again. That would really be such embarrassment since an Orc is being overwhelmed in strength by an Elf, not to mention a woman Elf.

Bang!

Contrary to what Osborne was expecting, despite exerting a lot more of strength than before, he was still being pushed for a few inches after receiving Selina’s punch, creating two-deep streaks on the ground.

“Were you an Orc in your previous life?” Osborne was surprised again by the result.

“Could an Orc have a similar beauty like mine?” Selina sneered in response.

“Probably because you were so ugly in your previous life, that’s why the God’s took pity on you and gave you such a beautiful look in this life,” Osborne expressed his thoughts.

“You…” Selina felt wronged. Just what did she do to Osborne for him to keep on insulting her appearance. Was it because she has an abnormal strength? No! He’s probably underestimating her because she is a woman!

“How dare you keep on insulting me!” Selina exclaimed loudly as she cliched both of her fists.

In the next moment, a barrage of punches was thrown by Selina towards Osborne’s shield.

Consequently, Osborne kept on retreating every time his shield received a punch from Selina. As time passed, his feet sank deeper and deeper on the ground, implying just how powerful all of Selina’s punches were.

“If this continues, then it might just be me who will get trapped on a hole,” Osborne muttered behind his shield. Quickly, his eyes started looking around his surrounding, trying to look for something that he could use.

Honestly, it is possible for Osborne to simply raise his feet out of the ground to solve his problem. But by doing so, he would create an opening for Selina to attack him. There is no certainty on what will happen next, and there might even be a chance that his plan would get affected. Therefore, the best way to do it is to use something from his surroundings. He’s not quite sure yet what exactly he should look for, but he’ll know it once he finds it.

“Trying to look for something, Osborne?” Selina realized what Osborne was doing. Needless to say, she would naturally not allow him to find it.

“What are you looking for? How about you tell me about it, and I’ll help you find it,” Selina said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.

“Come on! Tell me!”

“Are you looking for a weapon in your Storage Ring?”

“A tougher shield, perhaps?”

“Or maybe an armor that you can use to block my punches. So, that you won’t have to use such a bothersome shield anymore and can return an attack to me, am I correct?” Selina kept on bothering Osborne, obviously trying to get an answer out of his mouth.

“No? Then you’re probably looking for something in the surrounding. Hmmm…?”

“I’m wondering, why exactly are you looking for it?”

“Wait…” Selina finally realized something. Initially, Osborne would retreat ten inches or so every time he punched his shield. But this time, he would barely retreat for five inches. It could have been explained if he was exerting even more strength on his arm holding the shield. Still, if he really did that, she would definitely notice the changes since she punches it all the time and could therefore know if he was using more strength or the normal to block her attacks. However, that has never been the case until now. And not to mention, Osborne is currently distracted to look for something around their surroundings.

There could only be one possible reason to explain Osborne’s behavior right now with that in mind.

Taking a short glimpse to Osborne’s feet while still throwing punches to his shield, Selina soon noticed that it had now sunk quite deep in the ground, precisely ten or more inches deep, reaching nearly to his knees. Then, she took glances in the streaks on the floor below them along the way to their current location, and not long after found out that the exact moment Osborne started looking around was at that time when his feet had sunk five or six inches on the ground. Afterward, turning to look behind him, she later found out that he seemed to be retreating towards the direction of the left-over debris of the Earth Sphere spell that he had cast earlier ago.

It was pretty obvious already for Selina what the answer was with all of those findings. In Osborne’s current situation, getting his feet out from the ground would be rather tricky without giving her openings to land hits on him. As such, he should be planning to use those left-over debris to block a few of her punches and create a window of opportunity for him to pull his feet out of the ground, probably one at a time.

“You’re quite smart, Osborne. Wanting to lead me by the nose towards those left-over debris to your back. But guess what, I know what you intend to do with those!” Selina didn’t hesitate to inform Osborne that she knew what he was planning on doing.

Hearing Selina’s words, Osborne’s forehead started sweating profusely in nervousness. He really thought that with all of her focus directed towards getting a punch to his face, she would not notice anything wrong, let alone what he plans to do. But it turns out it was a total opposite to what he was expected. Due to her focusing on punching him, it instead resulted in her finding out about his plan.

Osborne really doesn’t know whether he should be blaming himself because if it weren’t for him, Selina wouldn’t have found out anything, or should he be blaming her for having such great intellect, allowing her to notice something is wrong from just punching him.

“Come on, just how the heck did you find out?!” Osborne muttered with a look of disbelief on his face.

“You probably underestimated the wisdom that we Elves possess in our brains. Well, after all, Orc’s are inferior when it comes to such matter compared to the majority of the races living in the Celestial World, right?” Selina replied with a smile of delight on her lips. Finally, it was time for her to insult Osborne back after getting humiliated by him twice.

“Do you know that you are being racist right now?” Osborne felt the need to call out Selina’s mistake.

“That’s what you get for underestimating me just because I am a woman!” Selina shrugged her shoulder off.

“Sounds fair,” Osborne could only heave a sigh of resignation. He was thinking of affecting Selina mentally to distract her, but unfortunately, it was proven useless as she was angry at him for all of those insults that he had thrown her. Once again, he dropped a rock on himself. How infuriating!

“Take this!” Selina punched Osborne’s shield once again. But now that she knows which direction he wants to go, she made sure to throw the punch to the other side in order to redirect his feet in another direction.

“Damn you!” Osborne could only let out a swear after redirecting his feet towards another direction.

“Damn your face! Take this!” Selina continued to throw punch after punch towards Osborne. As she threw more and more punches to his shield, the farther he got from the location he wanted to reach and the deeper his feet sank on the ground.

“No, this can’t go on! I need to think of something quickly before I get myself trapped here!” Osborne whispered. After a few seconds of thinking, he finally thought of a feasible method that might solve his problem.

Osborne quickly used his other hand to hold his shield and exert more strength. Hence, the force of Selina’s punches was reduced, and his feet no longer retreated and sank even deeper than what it already was.

“Although you have prevented yourself from retreating and sinking even deeper, but what are you going to do next aside from being a sitting duck for me to keep on punching!” Selina mocked while continuing to throw punches at Osborne. And because he got himself stuck in one position, she also tried to punch him from another direction, trying to land a hit on his body instead of consistently hitting his shield.
