Sprites

Now they could only see the corpses of the two sprites, their bodies nicely sliced through the waist like the giant sprite earlier. Garen knelt down beside the corpses and gently picked up one half of a sprite’s corpse. As he touched it, the corpse instantly disintegrated into black dust all over the floor, leaving only its wings. Each sprite had two pairs of locust like wings.

## Normal Size

On each side of the wall was a small hole about the size of a fist. From within each of those holes, a wormlike creature that glowed a dark green hue started to climb out. When both wormlike creatures finally made their way out, they revealed locust-like wings from their body and started flying; then only the duo could make out their full appearance.

These weren’t just worms, they were little girl-like things that had dark green skins covered in smooth insect scales. While they had a slender and potentially attractive body shape, their faces were a total turn off as they looked incredibly sly and evil, not to mention the horrible stench.

The worm-girls flapped their wings rapidly, and made insect like noises. They were headed straight for Garen and Celine. As they got closer, they opened their mouths to conjure some sort of an evil smile, revealing a set of saw-like teeth.

"**Sprites**!" Celine took two steps backwards, hoping to pull away from them, "these must be the legendary sprite, be careful! They have very sharp teeth!" She slowly pulled out her belt, her gaze never straying away from the two sprites.

"**Sprites**?" Garen was at a loss for words, these abominations looked absolutely hideous, and yet they still had such cute names, surely their appearances did their names no justice.

"Garen you focus on protecting me! Sprites especially like eating little girls, they’ll definitely focus all their attacks on me!" Celine yelled in fear. "Ha?" Garen only just noticed, the two sprites only paid attention to Celine with their gazes of greed and lust.

The two sprites suddenly pranced on Celine. They didn’t even bother with Garen, they just circumnavigated him by flying around his left and right. Garen reached out his right hand and very swiftly caught one of the sprites. With his left hand, he flicked the other sprite with his finger, sending it on a collision course with the wall. Grabbing the sprite felt just like grabbing a typical beetle. Their body had no warmth whatsoever. Just like a typical insect, so weak," Garen frowned.

"Be very careful, sprites have a really resilient body structure, the Neptune Fist have records about them in their books, documenting how they’re very hard to kill!" Celine quickly reminded, "no matter if you burn, drown or stab, whatever you do, you will never be able to completely get rid of them! Wow, that’s something," Garen’s frown grew deeper. On the other side, the sprite that had been struck to the wall got back on its feet and was now back in the air. This time, it was onto Garen with deadly speed.

Garen swung his free hand and slapped that sprite to the wall, then he squashed it against the wall to be sure. The part of the wall which met his hand sank in around his palm, a great amount of dust fell from that spot and around the corridor. As Garen lifted his palm off the wall, the sprite underneath was unscathed, looking only a little dizzy. They’re really strong indeed!" Garen finally realised. He suddenly felt a sharp pain on his right hand, and quickly let go of the sprite he was clenching in it.

As he pulled his palm back, he saw a small wound cut open by the teeth of the sprite. They definitely had some really sharp teeth, seeing how they were able to bite through his tough skin with ease. Let’s just run! Head straight towards the needles!" Celine drew her belt in one quick motion, whipping the now free sprite, sending it into a dizzy spell like its other half.

## Giant Spirite

The black stone hall was brightly illuminated, in its centre, there was a black altar with a silver double-edged sword stuck into it. The double-edged sword was about the width of a palm, and on it there were carvings of fist sized symbols. On its hilt were two sprites smiling and hugging each other carved into it in perfect uniformity.

Suddenly they heard some low hums and loud banging noises coming from within the hall. A massive living thing was thrown against the arch of the door, shaking the ground around the hall as it landed, and raining more dust onto its inhabitants from the ceiling. When the dust cleared, Garen and Celine finally make out what the massive thing was. It was actually a giant sprite towering over 5 meters in height!

It looked just like the sprites from before, greenish body, with full breasts and a slender body. All across its naked skin was covered in tough green insect scales, its mouth filled with sawlike teeth and a face that was insidious beyond belief.The giant sprite roared, and got back on its feet almost immediately.

The giant sprite flapped her massive wings, with a strong gush of wind she pranced towards Flamingo. She waved about her fingers which were tipped with incredibly sharp nails, almost dagger-like.

### With Sword of the Sprites

That being was about the height of a human, with green scales all over and the looks of a sprite. Except that this one didn’t have any wings, and was wielding a green equivalent of the **Sword of the Sprites**. By the looks of everyone, it seems like this was a truly intimidating fellow.

As if he could make out the puzzled look on Garen’s face, Duskdune Shura explained, "Originally I was confident I would be able to fight these damned sprites, except we got injured by those rascals earlier, now we can only face this ourselves..." Duskdune Shura took a backstep, evading the slash from the sprite, the sword landed on the ground, leaving marks where it meets the ground.

After two loud gunshots, the sprite got shot in the head, and its body disintegrated into many little sprites, flying about, and attacking whoever they find in their path. Garen tried to keep his calm, these little sprites’ sharp teeth can easily bite through his hardened skin, if he doesn’t pay attention he might lose it.

During this short time, Duskdune Shura swept his palm and hit two sprites in front of him, Flamingo followed in sync and slashed them into four clean pieces. Their actions drew the attention of most sprites.

The bearded man on the other hand swung his dagger around blocking the attacks of the sprites. His face was a pale white, his arms were also numb from the continuous attacks, but suddenly he had an epiphany, and pulled out a black grenade. "Fuck this! If I’m dying, we’re all dying together!" He pulled out the safety ring and threw the grenade to the middle of the room.

A massive fireball blew up inside the living room, red light illuminated everywhere and everything in an instance. Hot air from the fireball gushed out in every direction.

A large amount of sprites burnt to black were on the ground, not dead. In fact despite being charred, they got up almost immediately into the air and regrouped into the form of a man sized sprite.

"Everyone be careful! If we don’t deal with this fucker we’ll never get out!" Duskdune Shura belowed with a serious tone. "No wonder you baited all these warriors here!" One of the trio, who was a blonde girl, yelled back angrily. In this moment, the sprite seemed to be fearful of Duskdune Shura and Flamingo, it turned around and instead tried to kill everyone else. This asshole was not afraid of guns or swords, its body was hard beyond belief and even if one were to slice through, it’ll just dispersed and reassemble. This was true immortality!

The bearded man had just thrown out a grenade, and was obviously the number one target for the sprite. The sprite ran straight for him, without even much effort it sliced the bearded man’s dagger in half. It was only when he cowardly ducked and rolled on the floor was he able to evade their attack.

As long as we can chop off the **Sword of the Sprites** from the hand of this sprite, its ability to regenerate will be impeded. We need you to help suppress it, I’m carrying the Blood of Secrets. If I get taken down and this asshole gets its hands on it then it’ll be impossible to defeat." Duskdune Shura responded with a stern face.
