Chapter Two: The Difference Between a Kettle And a Brain (Pt.18)

Sylph began dancing around in the air. This scene will absolutely move an emotional person, But the sudden wild wind will absolutely take us back to the rational world right after.

Iruril's black hair is fluttering in the wind, as if the wind moving across a cornfield.  The haird is fluttering hair, but it doesn't make people dizzy. It looks like softly rippling waves. I move away the hair stabbing in my eyes, and I am carefully watching the situation at hand.

Other people's clothes are also fluttering. But those soldiers who got hit by "Feather Fall", are now like bits of paper, swirling along the wind. While the soldiers are constantly shouting, a strange laughter by Sylph can still be heard.

"Uh ah uh ah ...... ...... ...... Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

All the citizens look haggard. Cherine, the hotel boss, catches his servant's shoulder tightly, as if he is going to fall on the ground. But that servant also seems to be losing his balance.

Aphnaidel now looks totally hopeless, he is watching Sylph while grinding his teeth. Iruril let Sylph to handle the soldiers, then she quietly looks Aphnaidel. She looks very calm, I can't feel a little uneasy on her. So I am just waiting quietly at the side. But then, I noticed Baron Siliken had fled away some-when, leaving Aphnaidel in the courtyard alone . Where did the Baron go? Aphnaidel shouted:

"You despicable elf! Magic belongs to mankind! How dare you steal it from human?"

"Magic belongs to dragon originally."

"Shut up! Take this! Archmage Aphnaidel's wand!"

The soldiers in the air are still floating like leaves, and the broad courtyard are covered by the whirlwind. In the wind, an angry archmage waving the wand and clam elf are face to face, counting down for the showdown. The scene makes me excited again.

"Summon swarm!

Aphnaidel said. He raised a red cloth and waved it like a flag. Then all of a sudden some black creatures appeared behind the cloth.

"Zzzzzzzzzz! ZZzz!" 

Oh my god. Bats! Dozens of bats! I am afraid so I ran back. Those bats immediately flew towards Iruril. It should be very scary, but Iruril still stands there quietly. 

I desperately shouted: 

"Iruril-!" 

"Why?" 

Her answer is really boring. I am shocked when I am looking at Iruril, while Iruril is just looking at me quietly. Taking a closer look, though it looked like the bats have wrapped up Iruril , but the truth is they are just hanging on her head and shoulders. Iruril even lifted both her arms forward, so that these bats can easily hang on them.

 "Are... are you alright?" 

"In the middle of the day.... Their eyes must hurt. These bats are probably not alright?" 

"No, I'm asking you!" 

"Ah? Me.... My arms are a little bit tired. And a bit smelly." 

I am very nervous and heavily breath. I usually do not think I am a weird person. But now what surrounding Iruril are not pigeons or any kind of beautiful birds, but with bats with black dense hair. But why Iruril still looks beautiful at this moment? One of these bats is even drilling among Iruril's black hair. Gran Elver who blesses elves and innocent girls! Haven't talked to you for a long while. Why is you blessing always like this? The elf is surrounded by bats, why she still looks so beautiful? 

Iruril is playing with a bat on her arm and said: 

"Really poor... Coming out in daylight, you must be very uncomfortable under this sunshine. Poor. Feel free to go back to your cave." 

Then all those bats are all beginning to fly, making a crunching sound. Soon, the bats covered the courtyard, and their shadows began to move, the place became dark all a sudden. Although some of the citizens cried and made a little bit of noise,all the bat flew away soon. Iruril tidied up her clothes after the bats disappeared, and then said to Aphnaidel:

"I thought you were going to attack me, but why did you call the bats out to bully them?" 

I am a bit fed up, so I laid on Sanson's body, while Sanson shrugged. 

"Hee hee hee, Ha ha ha haaa!"

We fell on each other and started laughing. Poor Aphnaidel is trembling with anger. 

"No! Wrong! It shouldn't be like this. You didn't use any defensive spell, or confuse spell! Why did my bats...." 

"Wait, wait a second!" 

Iruril interrupted Aphnaidel, she looked at the soldiers who are still floating around in the air. She points her hand to the soliders, and then said: 

"Happy dancing with them? Now please place them down." 

The soldiers begin to fall down slowly like a leaf. But the soldiers seem to think that slowly falling down is such a horrible thing, So all of them are struggling hard, so the scene looks very messy. Why is that scary? Isn't the falling really slow? 

"Heads up!" 

Sanson shouted, What? This damn bastard! While Iruril was looking at the soldiers, Aphnaidel quickly read some spells. But this time was different from other spells, it took longer. Iruril heard Sanson and then immediately turned to Aphnaidel. At that moment, her eyes showed uneasy for the first time. She quickly looked back, then ran forward. I often see that look and the action in my hometown. She is standing in front of us in order to protect us ...

"Iruril!" 

Iruril facing Aphnaidel also began to read a spell. Aphnaidel is sweating hard,  We can almost see the blood vessels on his forehead, and his two arms are shaking. Anyway, this is definitely not another little magic trick. 

Sanson and I started to run forward. But Aphnaidel has already finished the spell, and came up with  a little black ball. He then threw it to us. 

"Eat this! Fireball!"

Holy mother of god.
