Chapter 345: The Bane of The Undead Elf (1/2)

Even though the undead elf had not much emotions, it could not help feeling an instinctive fear when the Players who should have been dead were appearing in droves before it.

After all, even if its ability was so superior above the average Player that it had wiped out Edward’s party aside from Eleena and easily defeat the strongest Player Mufasa, its victories were built upon the advantage of the Pyrocrystal Cannon over the body of the tortoise colossus, or in a one versus one situation.

And now, with the tortoise colossus was rendered immobile by a profound power, the humans were cracking their fists and stretching their muscles. They certainly did not look like they would honor the knights’ code of chivalry to fight it in single combat, and were instead prepared for one justified lynching…

The elven elf would have fled early on-if it had still been its just-awakened self, but that would not fly now.

After it had awakened from its long slumber, the instincts that drove it forward and all the way here to activate the Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN), and strode towards the high elves’ Promised Land back when it was alive.

Such was the tragic ambition shared by all high elves before their extinction.

That was why it was not retreating, and instead attempted to reclaim control from the Players over the tortoise colossus-in other words, the Elven SIN.

While the Players weren’t aware of such insider information, they probably wouldn’t have cared anyway.

Though the dying will of a clan sounds profound, the high elves were a mythical existence even in the last era.

And the age of humans was now.

In other words, there was no reason to forgive or understand a corpse that came back to life from six-feet under, massacring thousands of innocents in Crookes for a so-called tragic will that had long since died with its own kind!

“Cast your ultimate skills right now if you have any since it’s still quite far away! Only use precision skills when its closer to prevent friendly fire! Melee units, get forward, protect the glass cannons on the back row and stop that thing from cutting his way to them!”

Edward wasn’t sure what happened since most of the veteran Players were dead when the tortoise colossus exploded. Moreover, the newbies who survived seemed to have forgotten about the forums or simply couldn’t afford to be distracted-after all, both saving and evacuating the citizens or fighting the tortoise colossus with the Saintess does not afford them time to goof off.

Nonetheless, just as Edward’s vision saw nothing but darkness, he suddenly received new System notifications:

[Eleena, Saintess-in-training has completed the prerequisite quest.)

(Outermost stratum of the Elven SIN activated.]

(Event has started, new Spawn Point establish.)

He didn’t even think before teleporting here.

A spawn point being added in conjunction with an event was nothing special—the same thing had taken place back in the battle against the Rotten Bones cult. Still, the spawn point at that time was built beside Leah the Warrior Princess, while this one was on a fixed platform.

Still, unlike the other players who were confused when they teleported here, Edward had fought the undead elf on close quarters before. Even if its appearance had changed drastically now and was making strides towards the transcendence of human, Edward could still quickly recognize the being that had killed him once before. Hence, he promptly issued his order, ready to lead the Players who came teleporting alongside him to wipe the floor with that Boss!

He even flashed a praiseful smile at Eleena in between.
