Chapter 353: First Class Dark Elves ( 3 )
The Beast Art is the sign of the Elite Soldiers of the Erliente Dukedom so Stella decided not to use this technique in the Kingdom unless truly necessary.
This is why he never bothered using it before.
It means that aside from Lyrei, no one else knows that she has already mastered the Beast Arts to the highest stage.
'This Dark Elf feels like it has magic and physical immunity. Unless I raised my strength to a higher level, I won't be able to damage him.' Stella analyzed after a few exchanges with the Dark Elf.
"Stella Hang on! I just need to calm my Spiritual Energy." Diether shouted after noticing that Stella wasn't able to deal significant damage to the First-Class Dark Elf. He can't just remove his killing intent after all. It takes him a while to do it. The twenty that he asked a while was already pushing it to the limit.
He would be thankful if Stella could buy him more than that.
"Don't worry about me I'll get serious now." Stella responded as she started to circulate her Spiritual Energy and a few tattoos on her body suddenly surfaced out of nowhere.
At the moment, of her Arcana can penetrate the body of this brute Dark Elf so she has to use her trump card.
The Beast Art has a total of five stages and she mastered the last stage in just six months which many people would have been stuck for decades.
Even Lyrei who decided to try it for fun was stuck on the second stage since it doesn't seem to be compatible with the Elves.
Anyway, the First Stage is the Beast Mind. This technique allows the user to freely connect and communicate with the Beasts using their emotions or intentions. The language barrier isn't a problem with such a technique.
The Second Stage is the Primal Bond. Once used, the Art User can create a contract bond with a Beast and it can even be done forcefully. Aside from that, the user can also borrow the strength of the Beast they have bonded with. This is the level of Beast Arts Practitioners that Stella encountered before where they forcefully control Wild Beasts or even Evil Beasts in order to eliminate their group.
The Third Stage is called the Beast Heart. Even without the Bond of the Second Stage, the user will be capable of gaining the strength of the Beast as long as they have a full understanding of the beast. The Beast Heart can also strengthen the Beast Mind and Primal Bond putting it to a higher level where the user can control the beasts located in a certain range.
The Fourth Stage is the Beast Domain this is the stage that Stella felt was enough to deal with the Dark Elf in front of her!

"Let's see how long you'll last Beast Domain."
Stella clenched her sword tightly as she activated Beast Art's Fourth Stage.
Soon, the Dark Elf noticed the changes in the surroundings. It felt harder to breathe and it feels like he was being suffocated by an unknown pressure.
"Guh!"
The Dark Elf was unable to defend at all as he stepped back from being surprised. Not even the mysterious dark energy could defend against the sudden pressure.
"What's this?"
He couldn't understand what was going on but before he could even try to get away from the pressure, he saw the sword coming to his face!
Ssakk!
***
While Diether and Stella were fighting against one of the Dark Elves at the level of First-Class Arcanist, the other group composed of Stasis, Vinete, and Luoyang finally found the room where Reiji is located!
"Master Reiji!"
"Master!"
The two exclaimed in surprise after they saw the wooden sword Arcana tied by multiple gold chains to a pillar.
"Get back!" Luoyang, the Taichi Sword, immediately warned the two after noticing the presence of the strong Dark Elf hiding behind the shadows.
It seems like he's waiting for the two to come forward and eliminate them swiftly.
Thud!
Stasis and Vinete immediately stepped back after hearing Luoyang's warning.
"Tsk! I almost got your heads. You're lucky with that Sentient Arcana, huh." The Dark Elf said as he showed himself slowly.
He is fully wrapped in black clothes and even hides his face with a black mask.
Unlike the brute Dark Elf that Diether and Stella are facing, the one they met here seems to be a high-level Assassin.
"A troublesome fellow" Stasis frowned as he didn't like dealing with Assassins. They were all agile and uses various hidden weapons to defeat their opponents.
Thud! Thud!
Suddenly, Stasis and Vinete dropped to their knees The two were surprised as they were unsure what happened.
"Oh The poison has taken effect? Isn't this too easy? I thought that I'll be facing stronger Arcanists this time since you managed to get here." The Dark Elf remarked after seeing how the two were immediately downed by his poison fog.
He's prepared to have a long battle against them if they survived a couple of his traps.
However, it seems like he overestimated them.
"Hmph! That's enough" Luoyang suddenly emitted a wave of black and white energy and pulsated it around five meters around him.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, Stasis and Vinete who were poisoned by the invisible fog were healed. Their complexion returned to normal and breathing became steady.
"What was that just now?" Vinete grasp her throat as she could still remember how her breathing was suddenly blocked after losing her balance. She didn't want to experience it again.
"Poison, huh Half-Imps like us wouldn't be affected by a normal poison. It must be a top-grade poison exclusive to Dark Elves." Stasis said as he already noticed the gap within their strengths.
However, they were unprepared at that time.
"Sir Luoyang, can you do it once more in case we're affected again?" Stasis asked as his Aura suddenly changed.
He twisted his Double-Bladed Sword to make them a couple of swords as he assumed his Nittouryuu Stance, Zangetsu no Kamae!
