Vol 4 Chapter 26.4 (2/2)
“Elves had very beautiful appearances, regardless of gender. And as part of the Elven Royal bloodline, these twin sisters were stunning. Very quickly, males harboring evil intentions stared at them. Unfortunately, those bad men didn’t know the sisters were not as simple as they appeared. The twin sisters each had Violet Rank Level 1 strength. Because they hadn’t used their powers in the outside world, the twin sisters weren’t careful enough. They had instantly killed those bad men upon releasing their powerful magic. That was their first ma.s.sacre.”
“Oh!” Ye Yin Zhu cried out in surprise. “Elves are peaceful. To kill someone, that must have pained them greatly.”
Anya sighed. “You are not completely right. The two sisters had different responses. The younger sister was very afraid and even considered going back to the Elven Forest. She knew at last the horrors of the outside world. The elder sister was very excited, however, and her mind already began to stray. These twin lotus flowers that grew from one stalk diverged for the first time since birth. The next divergence also made them part ways. The older sister entered the human world while the younger sister panicked and returned to the Elven Forest.
“Ten years pa.s.sed by in an instant. In ten years, the elder sister quickly created a tremendous reputation in the human world, relying on her beauty and Violet Rank strength to become the strongest in that generation. Because the younger sister had gone against her mother’s order, she received a harsh penalty upon returning to the Elven Forest.”
Ye Yin Zhu asked, “Why didn’t the Elf Queen retrieve the elder sister?”
Anya smiled and said, “That is because the Elf Queen was unable to leave the Elven Forest at that time. She must protect her clansmen. Apart from her, no other elf was able enough to subdue the elder sister. As a result, this was delayed continually.
“The Elf Queen suddenly pa.s.sed away 10 years later. Just as she had one foot in the grave, the elder sister suddenly returned to the Elven Forest. At this moment, her strength had grown by a frightening amount. She had reached Violet Rank Level 3. It was hard to imagine increasing so tremendously in strength in a mere 10 years. She was very apathetic when confronting the dying Elf Queen, not grieving even a bit. She had even gone against the Elf Queen’s last decision to pa.s.s the crown to the younger sister, openly fighting with the younger sister over the Elven queens.h.i.+p.” By this point in the tale, Anya’s voice had already become impa.s.sioned.
“How could she do this? Don’t tell me she forgot 200 years of sisterly feelings?” Ye Yin Zhu somewhat angrily said.
“I don’t know. Even today, I still don’t know.” Anya’s eyes moistened, her voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with sorrow.
“The Elven Race stands aloof from worldly affairs. Under the decisiveness of the elder sister, the rest of the race surrendered to her. The younger sister was defeated at the hands of her elder sister and her pure self was banished from the Elven Forest, forever unable to return. The elder sister didn’t know, however, that before the Elf Queen was at death’s door, she had secretly given away the Elven Race’s Symbolic Seed of Life to the younger sister. By the time she discovered this, the younger sister had already traveled far away.
“For two hundred years, the elder sister searched everywhere for her younger sister, wanting to seize away the Seed of Life. The younger sister matured with every pa.s.sing day in the human world, however. She thought her mother’s death strange, and when she recalled her elder sister’s extreme peculiarity, she knew her mother’s death had something to do with her elder sister. Even if she knew this, what use was it? She wasn’t her elder sister’s match and could only flee continuously, wandering from country to country.
“She later found a peaceful region to settle in temporarily after great difficulty. Only then did she seek the truth about her mother’s death. Her steady conviction spurred, she cultivated even more a.s.siduously than before. The disparity between her elder sister’s strength and hers lessened more and more. Two hundred more years later, the younger sister felt that she could challenge her elder sister in strength. She returned to the Elven Forest. At this moment, the Elven Forest had completely changed. The former tranquility and harmony was nowhere to be seen. There was only an austere air. Calling herself the Elf Queen, the elder sister had actually been training her Elven clansmen into an army.”
