Chapter 344: Event Unlocked (2/2)

No wonder necromancers are never welcomed. No one would want the remains of friends and family-or even their ownbeing toyed around by someone else.

“Human… foolish… unable to understand… our tragic will…”

The undead elf raised its hand. All at once, frost rose into the air like mushrooms after the rain, enveloping the girl as if it would drown her.

Even if she wasn’t really drowning, Eleena could see her HP decreasing rapidly, her shield seemingly unable to keep out the chill that cuts into the marrow.

In fact, she wasn’t a Player but a normal human, her body would have been frozen stiff by now, her lost mobility denied.

“I don’t care what your tragic will is!”

Knowing that only death awaits if this continued, Eleena resolved herself.

Almost every first-rate Player who had come to Crookes were all killed in battle—it was the toughest fight they had, with no exceptions. And even if Eleena were the Saintess-in-training, she never considered herself different from other Players: she would be sad if their campaigns go sour, would laugh when there’s a feast and quietly shed a tear when she remembered the day her village was destroyed.

“… This is going to my last stand! If I can’t play this event with the others, I would at least die like a Player!”

Dispelling her shield, Eleena drew out the ancient key as the ice shell outside began to creep inside and climbed up her ankles.

“Give me… that!” The undead elf suddenly became emotional.

But Eleena ignored it.

When she thought about it, she realized that her grandfather had left her a clue.

Though the old man was the mayor of Crookes, activated the Faint Crystal Stratum of the Elven SIN and obtained the elven stone, he never showed any superhuman abilitieshe had no special abilities and never showed signs of having used magic, just as he didn’t have the scent a person from a church’s hierarchy would have (In fact, Tyler Meredith was a believer of the relatively weak Grimund, the God of Arts and Travel, and his rank as a ranked believer was bought with the money he gained from becoming the mayor of Crookes).

So how did the old man activate the Faint Crystal Stratum of the Elven SIN in his youth?

Eleena would be the first person to doubt that he had triumphed over waves of obstacles and dangers in the Faint Crystal Stratum with his own ability

And by extending from that hunch, she could make a bold deduction.

What if there was actually a very simple way to activate the outer stratum of the Elven SIN and obtain clearance over it?

…Such as…

“Please, give me something!”

…blood identification…Eleena hence stabbed the key firmly into her own chest.

All at once, the ancient key started to draw her blood-Players won’t bleed, but that did not mean they had no blood.

[Elven SIN–Faint Crystal Stratum activated]

(The God of Games’ great power has stopped the external movement of the Elven SIN)

[New event—’Elven SIN: Ancient Atrocities’ unlocked]

[New spawn point-‘Elven SIN: Outer Platform’ established]

And with that came a blue radiance that shot into the sky.

After just a split second, vague figures of countless other players appeared behind Eleena. Though they wouldn’t have made it here before, they were all now here, revived through various items!
