Chapter 423: No Way Back

Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

The Great Elven King's fighting strength had already shocked all of Feinan for a long time, but most Humans thought that this cold-hearted king was only concerned about the Wood Elves.

He had always been known for using his Iron Guards against Humans.

The Elven Iron Guards had been personally trained by Nicholas.

Thousand Leaves Forest could definitely protect themselves during these troubled times, and in fact, in the game, the Great Elven King chose to ignite the Source of Fire's Order and seal Thousand Leaves Forest to maintain their strength.

But a lot had changed in this world.

At the crucial time, Nicholas actually stepped forward onto a path of no return while Ivan took over the Source of Fire's Order!

Everyone was confused by this scene, a bit unclear as to why he would do this.

In the sky, that old man carrying a jug of wine stood next to the Great Elven King.

Compared to the famous Nicholas, the old man seemed rather unremarkable.

Even in the North, not many people knew of him.

Only the tribe that the Legend Barbarian protected looked at that old man in shock.

Wasn't that guy the old man that always ate without paying?

If it weren't for the Barbarians having a great sense of family, they would have already thrown out that waste.

Who knew that during a matter of life and death for all the inhabitants of the plane, he would reveal a different appearance from his usual self!

Many people inferred that this old man surely had impressive strength just from being able to stand alongside the Great Elven King!

The two of them looked at each other indifferently, as if they were meeting for the first time.

”Turns out the [North Guardian] hasn't died.”

After a long time, the Great Elven King asked, ”You hid for so many years, so why are you coming out now?”

The old man gave a hollow laugh and sipped some wine, his face reddening from intoxication. ”Same as you. I've lived for too long.”

”Don't look at me like that, I'm so much more fortunate than you. I became the [North Guardian] in the middle of the 3rd Era. It's already enough to have lived for so long. Aside from watching that one in my later years, there was nothing much to do.”

”Now, taking a few Gods down with me before dying would be quite a worthy way to go.”

The old man's voice was very gentle, but for some reason, it reached the ears of everyone on Feinan.

In fact, their dialogue had the strength to reach people's hearts.

Marvin knew that this wasn't from the two powerhouses deliberately showing off their strength.

But rather, it was the will of the plane.

It was normal for the two people's voices to be heard by the onlookers since they were Guardians of the Plane.

As for the title of Guardian of the Plane, very few knew much about it. Even Marvin had barely heard some things about it. It apparently was connected with some very incredible people.

For example, the East Guardian was Anthony, who had already died.

And the South Guardian was clearly the Great Elven King.

...

Marvin's heart sank when he heard the old man's words.

He understood why the Great Elven King was so decisive.

He didn't have long to live anymore.

When he had gone to the Decaying Plateau, the Gods had plotted against him and the Divine Fire inflicted a serious injury on his corporeal body. Perhaps it really was incurable.

Thus, he could only make this extreme decision.

Otherwise, with his lifespan and potential, his current power would be far greater!

Unfortunately… Marvin's own arrival had changed everything.

Some people's fates improved, but others seemed to have greatly worsened.

Marvin's heart sank.

If he hadn't been so rash, Nicholas wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss.

Ivan was taking the throne of the Thousand Leaves Forest much earlier now. Everything had changed!

After the Great Calamity, Marvin couldn't rely on his own experience of what would happen to make decisions.

This was a completely new world!

...

After the Great Elven King and the old man spoke a few sentences to each other, a shadow flew from the west.

He came from the far west and looked very elegant, with clouds condensing under his feet as he easily walked through the sky!

The Dead Area's Cloud Monk!

Many Monks' eyes reddened!

This was one of the highest states that could be reached through training, a level that many were tirelessly pursuing.
