Emma who was on a tree hidden from everyone else, saw that the enchantress in the back of the enemy team was completely defenceless as she didn't even seem to pay attention to her surroundings.
Seeing that, she didn't lose any time and started to draw her bow in her direction as she held her breath, calming down her heartbeat, trying to have her bow as steady as possible before shooting it.
Then, she released an arrow in her direction without losing any more time, thinking that this was a good opportunity to finally get rid of someone in the enemy team.
'This should do it,' she thought, seeing that the arrow was coming closer and closer to her opponent's head.
She didn't doubt for a single moment that she would miss, as she knew that she had enough experience with the bow to not miss a single arrow.
The only way to dodge the arrow she shot would be for the enchantress to dodge, but well... as she didn't pay attention to her surroundings, Emma was sure that it would result in her death.
*Swoosh*
The arrow started coming at a fast speed toward the Enchantress's head. It even made a piercing sound in the air because of its speed.
The enchantress who was completely defenceless, was just standing still without any idea that an arrow was coming for her life.
And, one second later, the arrow that Emma had shot was in the Enchantress's head.
The Enchantress's body was on the ground without moving, however, something unexpected happened.
Her dead body started to fade away as if it had never existed.
'Oh shit,' thought Emma, as she knew what had just happened.
It seemed that she was currently under the influence of the Enchantress because what she had just seen with her eyes wasn't the truth but simply an illusion created from the ground up.
This meant that Emma was currently out of the fight and she needed to get out of that illusion as quickly as possible.
Then, she remembered some of the things that she had been taught over the years when she was still a child.
A period where she had gone under a huge amount of tutelage because of her mother.
Maelis had wanted Emma, to become stronger and stronger, so that she wouldn't be able to threatened by anyone. The same type of goal which Aiden had at the moment, but it wasn't at the same level of importance as the younger Emma didn't care about being strong.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm But, she still remembered something about that tutelage, she remembered something that was about illusions.
She could see her mother talking to her about some random information which she called useful.
She focused on the words that were coming out of her mother's mouth, focusing on the movement of her mouth, trying to make sure that she was remembering everything correctly.
Emma, who had a clear image of that situation, concentrated on it, trying to read what her mother was saying on her lips.
"Illusions... head... hurt."
Those were three of the words which she had managed to remember as it had been quite a long time.
There was also the reason that she didn't completely listen to all the lessons given to her as she didn't think of them as useful. In her mind, they were quite useless as they wouldn't have any sort of short-term impact.
'If only I had listened attentively,' thought Emma, as she currently trying to figure out, how to get out of this illusion.
'Head, hurt, head, hurt,' she thought, repeating those words again and again in her head, trying to figure something out.
Did she need to hit her head?
Would she have to get rid of that headache which was currently taking over her mind?
She had no idea what to do, or how to get rid of that headache that kept impeding her thought.
But, she guessed that the way to get out of here would be to get rid of that headache of hers.
However, there was a big problem, she had no idea how to do such a thing.
She tried to think back to the scene where her mother had explained how to get out of illusions as she kept thinking about the same three words.
'There has to be something about those words if I keep remembering them,' thought Emma, as she knew that there had to be something else regarding those damn words.
They just couldn't mean that she had to rid of a headache. Everyone stuck in here would have wanted to get rid of that terrible headache, there had to be something else.
She had to think fast as she knew each minute that she would take to get out of that illusion would be a minute where she wouldn't be able to help her team win this fight.
Sure, Aiden is strong and isn't the type to rely on others, especially in the past month, but she wasn't sure if he was going to be able to win against the prodigy.
But, then she remembered his aura, the training that she had given her. She knew that he was special and that she had no idea how much he had made to get here, where he was now.
She knew that he had grown up in the Slums but that was it, she had absolutely no other information about his past, it really was quite intriguing.
But then, she dismissed those useless thoughts, as they were only taking time away from her real important thinking.
Those words that kept coming to her mind.
'It has to be something that has to be related to my head,' thought Emma, she was sure that it was related to it.
'Maybe there's something that I have to do to get out of here,' she thought as she looked at her surroundings which were completely empty as all she could see was the forest that was in.
No one was in it, she was completely alone, it seemed that the enemy Enchantress had made the illusion this way.
Then, as she continued to glance around while thinking about some other option, she was able to glance at something in the distance.
It was some red little orb that was floating in the air as if the environment couldn't affect it.
'Do I need to destroy that?' thought Emma.
'Maybe that was what the word hurt meant? I need to hurt this red little orb,' she thought, still trying to make sense out of those three words that kept popping up in her mind.
Having no other idea, she started to draw her bow in the direction of that small little red orb, as she made sure to use enough strength to completely destroy it, she even used her skill that made her arrow more powerful.
Then, she released the arrow, which once again made a piercing noise across the woods as it flew straight in the direction of that orb.
The arrow which had just been released, then pierced the small red orb quite easily as it didn't even seem to resist the attack.
And as it did, the world which Emma was currently started to lift as if it had never existed, revealing a completely different scene, where she could see on her right, Aiden and the blind man fighting, on below her the rest of her team were still fighting, however, they were currently at a disadvantage as they were in a three versus two.
This meant that at the moment, the team of Aiden was on the losing side, so she needed to act quickly.
Returning to reality, she was just glad that her guess had been the right one as she started to draw her bow in the direction of the Enchantress once again.
She wanted to eliminate her so that there would be no way of getting stuck in an illusion once again.
She was sure that Aiden had no idea how to get out of such an illusion as he hadn't received any teachings since the beginning of his life, living in the Slums and all.
*Swoosh*
The piercing resounded even louder this time, as Emma had made sure to give her everything into that arrow, aiming at the head of the girl with big boobs.
And, this time, the arrow hit as it went through the head of the Enchantress who was now on the ground lifeless, as a little pop-up appeared in front of everyone.
[Lilia has died.]
It seemed that the girl with big boobs was named Lilia.
Everyone on Aiden's team reading that message flashed a little smile as they knew that they were now in a much better spot to win this team fight and reach the second stage of that tournament.
Olivia didn't lose any time and made fun of the bulky girl in front of her, shouting.
"Still think you're going to win, ahaha," she said while laughing as loud as she possibly could.
