Chapter 213: Devil (1/2)

What’s going on? Shouldn’t the devil be sealed shut by the elven ancient within the cavern and be tormented without end?

Selene had never come across anything unexpected when she came to play before, so why did the devil’s claws break through the seal today?!

Like a drizzle, Marni’s blood was slowly raining down on her, dyeing her most red and leaving her stunned.

She only recovered when the enormous demonic talons came clawing at her, fumbling as she escaped the entrance of the cavern.

She couldn’t stay like that. She must run!

***

Even if she was physically much older than Marni and could well be his grandmother, the mental growth of the elves was very slow. As a matter of fact, Selene’s mental age would be closer to Jessica or Gou Dan despite being just over a hundred years old.

That was the reason why she pranked the human irrationally out of her spite, and was caught flustered in an emergency situation such as just now, simply not knowing what she should do.

It was therefore fortunate that Marni’s dying words gave her a definite instruction, and she followed it by instinct: escape to Trinia, find others to help stop the devil in the cavern from causing further ruin!

Hence, fumbling as she got away from the bushes in front of the cavern, Selene ran as fast as she could back to Trinia.

As mentioned before, the spatiality of the Trinia Forests was very weak, and the elven capital of Trinia itself did not actually exist in the Prime Material Plane. It was more similar to an arcanum, a subspace latching on to the outer reaches of the prime material plane.

Still, the wood elves had studied spatiality over a thousand years and understood it thoroughly that they had clear records of almost every variable. It was exactly why the elves could remain in the Trinia Forests even if their research regarding spatial technology wasn’t that profound—they had simply tethered the entrance and exit of Trinia on a secluded location.

That was also exactly why many slave hunters were quietly running over in circles in the Trinia Forests without finding the rumored elven settlement located deep within the forests, and would instead become food for monsters and magical creatures…

And it was just after Selene had escape around thirty minutes away when a violent rumble echoed.

The cavern had collapsed.

Dust and soil were kicked into the skies in the collapse of stones, forming a mushroom cloud that covered the skies.

Selene couldn’t resist looking back, where she found an enormous dark shadow amidst the dust, slowly rising and shaking off the rock and dirt off its body.

Even though her vision was blurred by the dust, she could clearly see its horns and the bony arrow-shape tip of its colossal tail.

That demon was really free!
