While Zion was busy finding a way out in a different way, Lia and the two elves were fighting fiercely, and it seemed as if the guards were going to lose soon.

"Where are the others?!" The guard with a fire sword spoke as he glared at the dhampir girl in hatred. "F**k! This girl is rather stubborn! If only we had more manpower!"

"Don't worry. Only three minutes more." The man with a metal sword spoke as he crossed his sword with Lia for the hundredth time. "They'll arrive. We don't have time to call them."

"Has it been just two minutes?!" The first guard gasped as they continued to fight with the princess.

After another minute passed by just like that, they were still in a stalemate. In fact, Lia still seemed to be on the winning side as she attacked them with a darkened face. Anyone watching her fight wouldn't be able to tell that she was once a princess who used to live in the palace. Her murderous expressions were dark enough to make anyone shiver from head to toe, but the guards had become habitual of seeing her like this by now. They only focused on fighting right now.

The man with a metal weapon cursed under his breath and threw his weapon in the air. He chanted a spell as the sword dispersed in thin air as if some dust particles scattered due to a gust of wind. "I'll use another technique! I'm done with this girl!"

"You mean…." Another soldier's eyes widened as he exchanged another blow with Lia. Soon, his expressions changed as his eyes turned red. "Are you crazy?! Your power will be sucked entirely, and you won't receive another dose until some miracle happens! Do you want to leave this post so much that you're sacrificing yourself like this?"

The soldier with metal power pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I can find justice for those children who were killed, I can do anything!" After saying this, he closed his eyes and started muttering something under his breath.

Nonsense! Why are these guys still believing in Rumors like fools? Lia roared in her mind and attacked the more fiercely. She had a few seconds only to get out of this prison boundary so that she could use her power. From the moment the metal sword man dispersed his weapon, she could tell the man was ready to use his legendary power to control the weapons.

She gritted her teeth and decided to go all out! In any case, she had been able to get them in a corner with her skills! They were using magic to defend against her attacks while she was only using her mortal sword. She was confident that she would be able to escape today!

After thinking like that, she rushed toward the fire swordsman who still fought with her. Every time their sword collided with the other person's fire weapon, her metal would burn, and a small crack would appear. She almost felt like if she continued like this, her sword would break for sure!

A dark expression flashed in her eyes. Even though the sword in her hand was the only one she had, she refused to back down. Even without a sword, she was sure that she would find a way out!

This time, when she attacked the man with a fire weapon, she was especially ruthless. It seemed as if she was ready to kill him within two or three attacks.

Zion, who was still inside, could still hear the sound of fighting coming from the outside. He bit his lips and continued knocking against the bricks. For some reason, he felt that the bricks could be his way out, but what? His limited knowledge powers led him to face such a disadvantage right now. If he knew about it before, he would have thought of some countermeasures already and freed himself from this miserable prison.

Just then, a thought flashed in his eyes. Whenever Lia used magic, she would insert her power in her sword. Even though he knew that the elves and dhampirs were different, it didn't mean that he couldn't guess the power of elves. After all, he had been a fan of cultivation novels in his world, and he knew a bit of power, even though it was fictional.

He compared the current situation with the magical hand clock he had used before that the soldiers took away. Lia had told him earlier that the elves would insert their Qi inside the clock to make it work and put inexhaustible magical power inside it. This prison also seemed to be like that.

So did it mean that the power was in the bricks? If yes, the spell should be inexhaustible too, but he didn't dare to test this theory. He knew for sure that the power used inside this prison would be sucked away by the elves, and the latter would become even more powerful!

But that doesn't mean he couldn't do anything. If he remembered correctly, the clocks could be broken unless and until they broke. So if he did something to damage this prison, even a little bit, he would be able to stop the spell entirely!

Zion's eyes lit up at the thought as his hands moved toward the brick. This prison had nothing, but he could find a washbasin there. So he went toward it and attacked the basin with his hand.

Blood poured out of his palms, but he didn't care. He just needed a tool to make a hole in the wall! After a while, he took the metal pipe as water gushed out of the hole. He ignored it and went toward the wall and attacked it fiercely.

At the same time, the man, who could control any metal, finished his spell, and he opened his eyes that shone brightly for a second. There was a smug smile on his face as he glanced at Lia's face. "You're dead."

Lia pursed her lips and gripped the sword tightly. Her knuckles appeared as she glared at the elves with hatred, but she didn't stop. She took her sword and attacked the fire swordsman. In the end, she overpowered the man and thrust her sword on his chest.

But just as she was about to smile in victory, the sword suddenly started to disperse. Even the handle, which was also made out of metal, vanished right in front of her eyes, and the elf, with blood seeping out of his wound, fell on his knees. His eyes filled with terror as he fell to the ground.

The surviving soldier looked coldly at his comrade, who just died, and then turned to Lia. "You're without weapons now. What'll you do?"
