Girvent Forest.

Wavier seemed to have been prepared. “Link, you’re finally here,” he said, laughing. “You’re faster than I expected.”

Even though there were many rumors about Link, even though he had once killed Level-8 Demon Lord Tarviss, Wavier’s power was nothing like before. He wouldn’t go look for trouble with this genius younger than him, but if they ran into each other, Wavier wouldn’t retreat.

If he could kill Link, Wavier’s name would be known throughout the mainland within a night.

After he spoke, the forest was silent. There was no response.

“What, you’re going to keep hiding?” Wavier sneered. “You refused to come out at the Opal City too and secretly used the Teleportation spell to take Celine away. Do you want to do that again?”

Wavier already knew about the event at the Opal City—Andrew had told him. After learning about this, his first reaction was jealousy. He was endlessly jealous of Link.

He would possess the woman he wanted. Someday, his undead army would flatten Ferde, kill Link, and he would take Celine for himself. He believed it would not take long.

After a while, there was still no response. There was no abnormal aura in the surroundings either. The opponent was well-hidden.

Aymons was waiting for Link’s reply too. Seeing this situation, he said, “I don’t think he’ll come out by himself. Wavier, Link also came for Alloa. I’m determined to kill her. What do you think?”

Wavier sneered at this. He instinctively wanted to disagree, but then he saw Aymons’ eyes. Those white eyes stared at him, seeming to send a message.

He was an intelligent man and instantly understood. This old guy wants to use Alloa to force Link out!

Link was hidden very well right now. They couldn’t find him, but according to his earlier actions, Alloa was his weakness. If Link acted again, he would reveal himself and sink into danger.

Even more, if Link didn’t act, Aymons would use the chance to kill Alloa. In that case, there would be no point of conflict between him and the Dark Elves. They wouldn’t need to fight anymore.

This was hitting two birds with one stone for Aymons.

This old guy is such a cunning fox! Wavier thought. Thinking of this, he nodded and took the chance to make it beneficial for himself. “You can kill her, but I need more venom from the Dark Serpent. If you don’t give it, don’t blame me for continuing to fight against you.”

“No problem.” Aymons was decisive. He raised his wand, poured Mana in, and slowly created a Flame Blast fireball.

“Rovia, move aside. I’m going act!” Aymons said.

Magician Rovia walked to the side instantly. He understood Aymons, so he was on full alert. As soon as Link appeared, he would attack!

Alloa lay on the ground. She had recovered consciousness now, and most of her wounds had healed. She knew her death was coming, but she still wasn’t afraid. Instead, she laughed. “Aymons, I knew I would die in your hands the first time I saw you. I guess I was right.”

Aymons multitasked. He cast spells while he said coldly, “In that case, had you prepared to betray long ago?”

“I guess. At first, it was just an idea. Later, you killed countless elves to summon the Dark Divine Gear. Recently, you started summoning demons at all costs. This made me feel that the Dark Elves had gone on a mad road. You will go extinct, and I don’t wish to be with such an idiotic race.”

“Idiotic?” Aymons was shaken, but he didn’t become angry. Instead, he shook his head and sighed. “You’re not exactly wrong. Unfortunately, not many of our race are clear-headed.”

Of course, he knew that the Dark Elves were in a dangerous situation. The entire race was like a carriage racing down an uneven pebble road. One small mishap would cause a disaster.

All he could do was try his best in keeping the carriage from overturning.

Heaving a sigh, Aymons completed the Fire Blast spell. “You are very clear-headed, but you chose to betray us, so you must die. Farewell, Alloa!”

The blue-white fireball came closer and closer. Alloa closed her eyes, but for some reason, her lips were curled into a smirk.

Hum. There was a soft sound, and a red dome barrier appeared around Alloa, protecting her. The next instant, the Fire Blast spell was activated. With a boom, flames burned around the blood-red barrier, but they couldn’t break through.

Aymons frowned and turned toward Wavier. “What are you doing?”

In the last moment, it was Wavier who acted instead of Link. Wavier shrugged. “Sorry, I thought you would pretend to kill Alloa, but I didn’t expect it to be true…To be honest, I must have Alloa. If I can’t…Everyone. Will. Suffer!”
