As soon as they arrived, Elfin and the others immediately saw the ongoing exchange between their soldiers against the Naughty Elves organization.

War weapons from both sides continuously shot towards random directions and soon causing that place to be damaged or destroyed.

Occasionally, a few soldiers would fly up in the air or somewhere nearby as an attack had landed within a close distance to them. Likewise, the same situation was also happening on their enemy's side, though it was much more worst, especially considering that the latter was on the ground level while the former was on higher ground.

"Your Highness, Elfin the Fifth, our side is currently in advantage against the Naughty Elves organization," A Captain quickly reported as soon as he saw Crown Prince Elfin the Fifth had arrived.

"That is for certain, after all, we have the high ground," Elfin the Fifth replied.

"How wise of you, your Highness, Elfin the Fifth," The Captain sucked up. 

"I am not here for your butt-licking. Go and continue focusing on the war in front of you," Elfin rolled his eyes.

"Yes, your Highness, Elfin the Fifth," The Captain saluted, before moving back to his position.

Turning to look at Charlotte and the other allies, Elfin the Fifth said, "It would probably take half a minute or an hour before one of the sides would try to break the stalemate. At that moment, we will use their move to our advantage, hahaha!"

"You..." Ethan pointed at Elfin the Fifth in disbelief.

"What?" Elfin the Fifth asked curiously. He really wanted to know why Ethan's expression looked so ugly right now or was his face like that all the time? Not only him but also the others as well... they seemed to be looking behind him.

Turning his head around, Elfin the Fifth finally understood the reason for their expressions. His face turned horrified while at the same time blaming himself for being such a jinx.

Up in the sky, numerous attacks of different Elements are now going in their direction. There were fireballs, roots that looked like a drill, earth spikes, blades made out of the wind, and many others more.

Evidently, these attacks were shot from the numerous Magical Beasts hiding on the trees down the wall.

Those Magical Beasts might be afraid of moving closer to the wall, but that certainly doesn't mean that they are unable to launch any attack.

The situation right now was a clear example of that!

"What the..."

Before Elfin could finish his words, Charlotte and the others quickly stepped forward and cast different Defensive Magic spells to block the numerous attacks.

The sky was lit up brightly with dozens of Magic circles of various colors and sizes appearing. 

Boooom! Boooom! Boooom! Boooom!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

The attacks smashed directly on the dozens of Magic circles, eventually creating a black cloud of smoke in the process.

Soon, cracks began appearing on the dozens of Magic circles, clearly indicating that it can no longer last that long.

Sweat began sliding down from the heads of Charlotte and the other allies, showing to everyone just how difficult it was to hold down numerous attacks, even when they were defending together. 

It didn't take that long for one of the Magic circles to break, causing the person who had cast that Defensive Magic spell to kneel down on the ground while trying to catch his breath and recuperate his lost energy and stamina as fast as possible. 

The moment one of the Magic circles was destroyed, Elfin the Fifth finally pulled himself together. In the next moment, he exclaimed, "What are you all waiting for? Your death?! Come on everyone, begin casting Defensive Magic spells to lend a hand,"

Hearing Elfin the Fifth's words, everyone quickly began casting different Defensive Magic spells. Even though some of them could barely even cast a Defensive Magic spell, probably because they are not proficient in that category, they still tried their best to help. After all, no matter how small the help was, that is still considered helping.

In the next moment, numerous Magic circles appeared alongside the dozens of huge Magic circles from Charlotte and the other allies. Subsequently, the burden was now being shared by a lot more of Defensive Magic spells that other the soldiers have cast.

"Even if we can handle this wave of attacks, it would still not be safe for us because without a doubt there would be a second wave, a third, a fourth, and so on and so forth," Charlotte informed Elfin the Fifth. The reason for that was because these attacks were merely basic attacks of those Magical Beasts, hence they could easily do it again as long as they have enough Mana in their bodies. 

"Fuck! How did our situation become unfavorable all of a sudden?!" The Captain asked in disbelief.

"Does anyone have any suggestion?"

"Yeah, we could really use it now!"

"Please, anyone, just say it out loud so that we can be over with this!"

Dozens of people began voicing out if anyone happened to know of any methods to solve their current problem.

Unfortunately, no one still responded, even after a few minutes had passed. It was very obvious to see that no one knew of a method.

On the other hand, Elfin the Fifth was in deep thought, trying to think of something. He soon muttered, "Do we really have to do it now?"

"Do what?" Charlotte quickly turned to look at Elfin the Fifth.

"If you have any idea, just say it!" Ethan exclaimed in frustration.

"Stop dilly-dallying around! We need a solution, and we need it now!" Edward gritted his teeth.

"I know," Elfin the Fifth said while clenching his hands tightly. After saying that, he waved his hand, quickly taking out a golden token with an image of the Emerald Tree from his Storage Ring, "Protective Barrier, activate!"

The golden token on Elfin the Fifth's hand suddenly lightened up brightly, causing everyone who was looking at it to be blinded by the strong light.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

What followed after was a strong wind coming towards them.

Just when everyone was feeling confused about why the golden token was absorbing wind, they soon felt a rich and dense amount of Mana in their surroundings, which was being pulled towards the golden token.

Everyone quickly understood that the golden token was absorbing Mana, not wind. 

The golden token continued to absorb Mana and there seem to be no signs of it stopping. Eventually, it causes everyone to be unable to cast any Magic spells anymore.

Those attacks and Magic circles on the sky also soon disappeared as their Mana was not spared and are now being devoured by the golden token as well.

Elfin the Fifth suddenly raised his hands up, and the golden token floated high up to the sky.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

When the golden token reached a certain height, it finally stopped floating and right after began releasing all the Mana that it had just absorbed.

When everything finally died down after a few minutes, everyone soon saw a huge green-colored barrier that covered the entire north wall of the Emerald City.

"This..." Charlotte turned to look at Elfin the Fifth for an answer.

"That golden token is called, Nature's Cover. It absorbs all the Mana in the surrounding, convert them into Nature Element, and then release them to form into that barrier in front of us," Elfin the Fifth explained, he added, "That is just one of the four Nature's Cover, thus the reason why it only covers the north wall,"

"Then what happens if we combine all four together?" Ethan can't help but ask.

"It will form into a complete set called Nature's Dome, a Galaxy-level Magic Barrier," Elfin replied. He continued, "This was supposedly going to be one of the trump cards that we were only thinking of using if ever the Naughty Elves organization reaches the city wall, but I guess we have no choice but to use it now,"

"Let alone reach the wall, there might not even be a wall if we really didn't use that item," Edward heaved a heavy sigh.

"I agree," Chief Lago nodded his head in agreement.

At the side, everyone was finally able to calm their panicking nerves. With the Nature's Cover, they won't have to worry anymore about defending themselves. They could just focus solely on attacking and accurately hitting their enemies on the ground.

"Go on, continue with the battle. It doesn't mean since we now have a shield that the war is also over," Elfin rolled his eyes.

Immediately, the Captain and all the soldiers began their counterattack against their enemies on the ground below the wall.

This time, they didn't solely focus their attacks towards the members of the Naughty Elves organization, as they have now included those Magical Beasts on their range of targets as well. 

Booooom! Boooom! Booooom!

All of their war weapons sounded once again and numerous shots were being fired. Frequent explosions followed right after as the attack landed on their enemy.

Meanwhile, back on the top of the wall, Elfin the Fifth gathered Charlotte and the other allies around as he informed them about the weakness of the Nature's Cover.

"A few of you would be guarding the Nature's Cover to prevent it from getting snatched away by the members of the Naughty Elves organization hiding amongst these group of soldiers. Guard it well, because once it leaves its current place, the barrier would immediately disappear. Even if we could get it back, we wouldn't be able to activate it any sooner," Elfin the Fifth said, before quickly assigning the people to guard the Nature's Cover.
