Chapter 756 - Scared Off (1/2)

The elven goddess’s expression was frozen.

She even seemed rather embarrassed.

By logic, the elven goddess should be the highest symbol of the elves.

But in fact, the relationship between the elven goddess and the World Tree was rather weird and complicated.

By the rules of the birth of gods, they were all collections of consciousness in a community.

It meant that the elves appeared before the elven goddess did.

The elves, on the other, were created by the World Tree.

Therefore, the elven goddess was supposed to be the World Tree’s daughter.

However, in terms of rank, a goddess should definitely be nobler than a Demigod.

On the other hand, the elven goddess’s divinity was largely based on the World Tree’s will, because the elven goddess was the deified World Tree in the eyes of the elves, whereas the World Tree was the elven goddess’s body in this world.

The elves had existed for more than a hundred thousand years. In this world where mind could in a way influence matter, the collective will of the elves had been imposing influence on the World Tree and the elven goddess, making their relationship intimate and complicated.

They were like a mother and daughter as well as two sisters.

But in any case, in the eyes on the World Tree, the elven goddess was inferior to her.

Usually, she would show the elven goddess some respect and wouldn’t scold her right in front of her children, but this was a critical moment and she had no time to care about that.

The elven goddess was dazed by the World Tree’s scolding. Then, she had no choice except to gnash her teeth and quickly rose to the sky.

“All remote attackers, change your target and lock onto the elven goddess. Don’t let her escape!” shouted O’Neal quickly.

Exactly at that moment, the whole city radiated purple light.

Dazzling purple light was on every inch of land in the capital of the elves.

O’Neal subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

Then, he felt such heavy pressure from the sky that he almost fell to his knees.

If he hadn’t used Roland’s balanced way of adding points, which gave him enough Constitution and Resistance to pass the exemption test, he would’ve really knelt.

At the same time, those who failed to pass the test fell on their knees and were minced into multiple pieces by the huge purple roots that rose from the soil.

All of a sudden, another forty players had been killed, and only about forty more were left.

Also, most of them were Mages.

After all, Mages were more resistant to mental attacks.

Because of the accident, the remote barrages were disrupted, and the elven goddess successfully returned to her paradise in the pillar of light.

Watching the pillar of light disperse, O’Neal also saw Roland’s floating city through the gaps of the branches on the World Tree’s crown.

Although it was very far away, the floating city was too large and obvious a target.

“We’ve failed to slay a goddess,” said O’Neal with a bitter smile.

The netizens in the stream channel all expressed their disappointment too.

Most of them wanted to see the players bring down the boss.

“The World Tree is getting stronger. We have to run.”

O’Neal said to himself. It was also an explanation for the audience in the stream channel.

But very soon, he raised his head in shock and smiled bitterly. “But maybe it won’t be easy for us to escape.”

At this moment, he was floating in the sky, and the enormous bright purple roots that slithered on the ground couldn’t hit him yet.

In fact, most Mages survived for the same reason.

Most of the Legendary Mages were capable of flying.

Their fellows on the ground were almost completely wiped out, except those who were very agile, such as Rogues or Archers who ran extremely fast.

However, it wasn’t easy even for the Mages to flee at this moment.

The World Tree’s mental manifestation flew back.

She looked a lot different from how she used to be.

Earlier, she was just a teenage girl around fifteen, but at this moment, she became a mature woman above 25.

She was slim but boasted an excellent figure.

However, nobody paid attention to her figure or looks anymore.

Even the netizens in the stream channel could tell that the World Tree must be in her complete form at this moment.

Why didn’t she achieve such a state sooner? Probably because she was weak after just being woken up.

After all… It would take time for anyone to readjust themselves to their best status after a long period of sleep.

In many knight novels, the dragon slayers had attacked the dragons while they were asleep.

The dragon slayers took advantage of their prey’s poor status.

A Demigod was indeed strong.

After she revealed her full strength, the regular Legends were no match for her at all.

Looking at the World Tree’s manifestation in midair, O’Neal shouted as loudly as possible, “Run for your lives! She’s unfolding a circle!”

O’Neal had discovered that his basic stats would be lowered to 90% of their original values after he was illuminated by the purple light. 10% of stats wasn’t much for a Legend, but for a battle between top experts, it might be critical to the outcome of the battle.

They had disadvantages in the first place and then their stats were lowered… Why would they bother to fight? It was time to run.

All the purple light was from the leaves of the World Tree. They should still be able to defeat the enemy as long as they escaped from the World Tree.

However… Before O’Neal activated the teleportation spell, the dense, extensible mental tentacles had emerged above his head again.

“Shoot…”

Before O’Neal could finish, he had been penetrated by a hundred long, narrow mental tendrils and riddled with holes.

After taking down the Legendary human being who was likely to be the leader, the World Tree looked elsewhere.

She put on a cold smile.

They wanted to use a teleportation spell within her domain? Did they think that they were Mystra? The players began to run.

None of the Legends were idiots.

They also flew in four groups and four different directions.

Each group had about ten people.

The World Tree snorted. Nothing could escape her senses under the coverage of her crown.

She stayed where she was, and her mental tentacles impaled all the Legendary players in three directions in one minute.

The Mages who ran east were able to escape from the crown of the World Tree.

It was because one of the Mages knew a spell named Breath of the Wind, which could increase allies’ speed within a certain range.

With that ability, they were able to flee from the mental tentacles. However, the World Tree’s manifestation flew out as quickly as the speed of sound.

Although the Mages weren’t slow at all, the distance between them and her grew shorter and shorter.
