The creature vanished uhe dark water again, prompting Yvlena to go on guard keeping her sword close.
A battle oer wasn't something she thought she would be having, but she supposed it would have to e at some point in the s.
"Where did it go?" Yvlena asked in a panic, looking down again she saw the emerging shadow and jumped out of the way before the creature's jaw could snap at her.
"I thought the game would give me a notification if it wao bite!"
[Yvlena Cast Carrot Burst (50MP)]
Starting off with her most powerful move, she bsted the reptile with a wave e. The reptile growled, turning slit eyes to her and sinking bato the water.
"It's like pying whack-a-mole or something, does that game still exist?" she didn't have time to wonder as she grabbed Rabbit Knight and jumped.
The creature emerged again bursting out of the water like a torpedo and nearly catg the Rabbit's ears in its teeth. If Yvlena hadn't grabbed the summon it would have been food by now.
The beast submerged itself once mrowling as it did.
[Sadile Cast Dive]
"That's more like it, wait dive?!" The water beh her ged course and began rushing towards the area the Sadile had sunk into.
"That doesn't look good,"
A rge sinkhole formed where the creature had vanished, pulling the water towards it, Yvlena's feet began to slip as the rushing water became too much for the grade of her elixir.
"Hey!" She excimed, nearly losing her footing.
[Sadile Cast Rise]
With a burst, the Sadile sprang out of the water allowing Yvlena to see its full form. It was rge, spanning 7 feet ih, with armor patterned green scales arranged ly in small triangles.
Herbs and moss grew along its back, making the pnts exceedingly difficult to pick. If Yvlena wahem she would have to defeat the Sadile.
"Ah!" Yvlena yelped as she shed by the s water and flung away. She skidded o surface, smming into one of the trees rooted in the deep water.
[Sprite Cast Sting (01MP)]
The fairy tried her best to keep the battle going while Yvlena and Rabbit Knight gathered their bearings.
"Okay I need a pn," Yvlena said quietly, she looked to Rabbit Knight who was keenly the Sadile with i as it prowled the water looking for them.
"I think I have a hunch,"
----------
A pieeat nded oer with a spsh, it caught the Sadile's attention instantly. The creature submerged, and appeared uhe meat with a burst allowing Yvlena to strike.
[Yvlena Cast Carrot Burst (50MP)]
She bsted the Sadile with a wave e and watched it disappear uhe water once more.
"So chum is just...bait?" Yvlena asked. She jumped again, nding on a Lotus pad that happeo float by. She couldn't stay in one pce, lest the Sadile appear at her location.
Taking the chum out of her iory she threw the squishy ball of meat into the water and waited.
The Sadile took the bait.
[Yvlena Cast Carrot Burst (50MP)]
[Rabbit Knight Cast Rabbit Volley (05MP)]
[Sprite Cast Sting (01MP)]
The three of them attacked the emerging Sadile who opes massive jaws and released an unholy screech.
[Sadile Cast Screech]
Yvlena csped a hand over her ears just in time to get the notification.
"Now you tell me!"
[Rabbit Knight Inflicted with fusion]
[Rabbit Knight may attack allies in fusion]
"What?" Yvlena deadpanned.
Her summon stumbled, his head spun as it fell and Yvlena noticed the ical swirls in its eyes denoting his fused state. The rabbit began jabbing the air aimlessly with his rapier, fighting an invisible enemy.
She shook her head in disbelief.
"Well that's one member of the party down," she said. Something moved underh her, only giving her a split sed to react before the Sadile rose again. Its scales brushed her legs as she dove in the opposite dire.
"That was too close," Yvlena sighed, she had to remember to be focused, the creature could e from anywhere, they were on its turf.
[Sprite Cast Cure (05MP)]
"Thank you Sprite!" she said, leaping away from her spot as a shadow passed under her.
Yvlena stumbled forward from the force of an attack, a sudden pain blossomed from her side. She winced in fusion and disfort. After all, she had avoided the Sadile, right? She thought, before turning around to witness Rabbit Knight ihralls of fusion pointing his rapier at her.
"Crap,"
[Rabbit Knight Cast Rabbit Volley (05MP)]
With her pronounced agility stat, Yvlena dodged each attack her summon released, it wasn't easy avoiding the bde's point but she'd seen Rabbit Knight use this attaough times to predict where each strike would fall.
"Rabbit Knight! Snap out of it!"
[Sprite Cast Sting (01MP)]
The ball of light struck Rabbit Knight between the eyes. He fell on his back with a spsh. Yvlena grabbed him before the Sadile could make short work of him.
[Rabbit Knight's fusion wore off]
"Phew," Yvlena exhaled, it wouldn't have been easy fighting both the Sadile and her party member. The water beast was already tough enough as it was.
The reptilia rose again from the s water but Yvlena had already been anticipating its return. She heaved her sword and brought it down on the emerging snout, crag open its jaw.
She stabbed at it again before it could vanish underh the cover of the water, pierg its eyeball before it could escape.
[Sadile inflicted with bleed]
"Only one more hit and it'll go down, I'm sure of it," Yvlena said, she threw her chum and waited for the creature to take the bait. The Sadile rose and Yvlena took the opportunity to end it.
She jumped, lifting the sword over her head, and with a downward ssh brought the bde down with the io kill.
[Yvlena Cast e Slice (100MP)]
The Sadile perished before it could uand what was happening, melting away in fkes of light.

"Sadile meat? You mean the people of Bloom Haven actually eat it? Must have a good recipe then," she said.
Yvlena trudged back to the first level of the Avaresh S and pulled herself up from the water to rest on the docks.
[The effects of the Water Resistant Elixir are nulled]
The game told her, but she paid it no mind and y her back against the broken wood, hoping she did not get a virtual splinter.
"I think this would be a good pce to level up, the game is really getting tougher," Yvlena told herself. When she first started Moon Valley Online, she recalled how easy Bloom Meadow and Bloom Forest had been.
The creatures now, though not many, were tougher than the hoards of Horned Rabbits and Foxes she had first entered.
"That just means the Miasma must be way worse outside this area," She said. Yvlena picked herself off the docks with a groan. She dismissed her summons who by now were reag their limit.

"el? Isn't that like talking to ghosts and spirits," she asked. For now, she shrugged it off.
"Now seems like a good time and pce to log out,”
