>>5881344>>5881393>>5881458>>5881544You put up your fists and dash towards the group of elves without fear. Y'know, you do kinda miss the time when this adventure was just about you beating up people way weaker than you without a second thought.
>"W-W-W-Wait!! W-W-We d-don't want a-any t-t-trouble! W-We just want t-to pass through!">"Too late."Before they can react, you jump in the air and shove your knee right into the gut of one of the elves, blood comes out of his mouth as his eyes pop open in shock.
>"Everyone, use your Orbs, now-!">"Dunno what that is, but I don't think so sis."The girl you tied up when you first arrived on this planet orders everyone to pull out "Orbs", whatever those are, in a nasally voice, it sounds like her nose is still broken. You punch her on the face right as she finishes her sentence, grab the knife that she is holding, and toss it in the direction of the group. Right as one of the men reaches for his back, the sharp weapon stabs directly into his stomach, he's definitely not shrugging that one off!
Only two elves and Anis remain (though you can't see her anywhere in your field of view...). They both reach into a tiny pouch tied up behind their backs like a fanny pack and pull out two of those bright red capsules you saw back at the cave. Suppose their official names are "Orbs".
Whatever those are gonna do, you don't wanna wait to find out! You quickly reach to your side and pull out your own weapon, shooting small low power light shots at their feet. Those don't do any kind of damage at all, but they're great at spooking people, especially those that don't know what a gun is.
>"EEEKK!!"One of the two remaining elves falls especially hard for your fake out, jumping in surprise and then cowering down in fear with both her hands on her head. During her surprised reaction, she accidentally launches the red Orb into the ceiling at high speed.
>*BOOOOOM*The capsule pops open, and an explosion appears from thin air, destroying the cement brick ceiling. Cold air and snow emerge from outside the hall, even causing you to shiver under your plugsuit.
>"D-Dumbass- ARGH!"Huge bricks rain down from the ceiling, conveniently falling on top of the cowering girl and her companion.
>*BOOOOM*As the last elf's body hits the ground, pressed down by the heavy block, the Orb in his hand also crashes into the floor, creating yet another explosion. The road covering the ground receives little to no damage, appearing to be quite resistant. The hand and forearm that were holding the explosive however, disappear in the smokescreen, being replaced by a bloody stump, you notice blood coming out of his crushed up head, guess that's it then!
>"Now only the Queen's left- Aaaaaaaand she's gone."Quite expected considering past behavior. Oh well, doubt she'll ever want to mess with you again.
