Buzz, buzz, buzz. Various green magic shields lit up one after another, protecting the elders.
The energy for these shields came from the World Tree and reached the pinnacle of Level-19. Protected by the shields, even if Link and Saroviny made a hole in the space here, the building would still be undamaged. The shockwaves wouldn’t harm the capital either.
“Young man, you don’t know what kind of power you’re facing right now!” Dark Mana rumbled. Saroviny’s voice was like a tiger or a dragon’s roar. It made one’s heart tremble.
Even though they were protected, the High Elf elders still paled from the voice. It wasn’t that they were hurt. Instead, their minds were attacked. In other words, they were scared!
The High Elves further back were better off. After the initial shock, they composed themselves and stared at Link in concern.
Demon Saroviny’s wild dark power filled the space outside the magic shield. The space twisted completely. People could even make out black shards of space. Compared to it, Theodore’s range of influence was much smaller. It only reached three feet away from him.
From the look of things, Theodore was completely at a disadvantage.
Since the situation was like this, there was no room for compromises. The High Elf Queen took a deep breath and said to the five Legendary guards beside her, “This battle pertains to the fate of our race. Go help! Don’t let Theodore be alone!”
The High Elf Queen wasn’t powerful enough, but she saw things clearly. Earlier, she saw Theodore block Saroviny’s sudden attack. He was disadvantaged against Saroviny’s wild tide of power, but he could still resist.
This meant that Saroviny actually wasn’t much weaker. It was still possible for him to win. If he also had the full help of the Legendary royal guards, the possibility would increase. She didn’t need Saroviny killed on the spot. If she was gravely hurt, she might reveal a fatal flaw. After all, they were in the royal capital. They were right under the World Tree!
The High Elf Queen had the boldness of a ruler. Now that there was a chance to turn the tides, she would immediately gamble everything. Even if all the Legendary guards died, even if she would face Saroviny’s anger if they were defeated, she had to take this chance for her race!
The Legendary guards also sensed this chance. They all had tragically heroic expressions as they bowed to the queen, then rose to join the fight.
But unexpectedly, Theodore’s voice sounded after they took some steps. “Don’t come over. I can deal with her! She’s just putting on a show!”
“Idiocy!” Saroviny roared. But strangely enough, other than showing off her wild power, she didn’t attack. She obviously wasn’t scared of her enemy. She was just looking for a flaw to kill him at once and create the biggest effect.
The High Elf Queen also urged, “Theodore, it’s not the time to pretend to be strong.”
“Your Majesty, no matter how many guards you send, they’re useless in a fight of this level. Don’t let these talents die meaninglessly.” Link looked at Saroviny with a cool gaze. He clearly had the lower hand, but he gave off the feeling that he was the stronger one.
This attitude made Saroviny a bit unsure. She stared at Link’s body and sensed his aura closely. She felt that he was full of flaws, but when she prepared to attack, the flaws would vanish.
The situation was strange. She couldn’t be sure, so she still didn’t attack.
She didn’t move, but Link suddenly did. He took a step forward and sneered. “Demon, I recognize you. You were the general of the demon army when we were at the human Orida Fortress. It’s so sad that you have Legendary power, but you were trapped in Aragu by the Ferde lord and finally escaped after a century. But even though you’re back, your courage is still in Aragu. You’re too scared to find the Ferde lord for revenge, so you come to show off in the Isle of Dawn… You’re just a scaredy cat!”
At the end, Link peered down at Saroviny as if out of disdain. His words were even more insulting. Each one pierced Saroviny’s heart.
Her biggest enemy was Link, but she couldn’t defeat him. Every time that she tried, she would get humiliated instead.
Now that Link said all this, she felt her vision go black. Gritting her teeth loudly, a voice as cold as the iciest swamp in the Abyss was squeezed from between her teeth, “Young elf, you talk too much!”
Before she finished, she already stabbed her sword forward. It contained her hatred. In its path, space was destroyed and the orderly time turned chaotic. Wild Void energy shot from deep inside space to this realm. The entire battlefield warped in that instant.
In this zone, neither time nor space held meaning anymore. Only two things existed: pure power and a strong soul!
A mortal couldn’t even glance at this wild zone without being shaken up, let alone stand inside it. They might even be scared straight to death. It was like an innocent child suddenly seeing the bloody scene of a tiger eating a human in the forest. They would obviously be freaked out!
The High Elf Elders all retreated involuntarily. Some less courageous ones even yelped like children. The World Tree shield could protect their bodies but could not give them strong souls.
Even the Legendary guards trembled at Saroviny’s attack. They couldn’t believe such aggressive power could exist in this world.
Can Theodore block it? the Legendary guards all thought.
“Go die, lucky elf! Go die, blessed child of the World Tree!” Amidst the chaotic currents, Saroviny’s voice was as lofty as a god’s. It was horrible and omnipresent.
But in the next moment, a beam of green light shot from the wild current of energy. This light was like an agile dragon in the roaring tide. No matter how the waves crashed, the dragon was still unaffected.
The “dragon” snaked through the waves, dodging energy peaks one after another. Suddenly, it turned and charged towards one giant wave.
Boom! The sound shook everyone’s hearts. Silence followed the explosion.
The first moment, the energy tide scared everyone out of their minds. The next moment, everything vanished. White powder flew out in the empty space at the center of the building. When the dust settled, two figures were revealed.
Link was still standing in place. The halo of green light remained around him. There were no changes; he didn’t even seem to have budged.
Fifteen feet away stood Saroviny. She was in a much more pathetic state. Her hair was messy, and her Abyss of Despair robe was covered in dust. The sharpness of her eyes had dimmed too. She stood while holding her sword, staring at Link incredulously.
In the exchange earlier, she’d felt a very familiar soul. It was none other than her biggest nemesis—the Ferde lord!
In addition, only he had this kind of swordsmanship and spells. Only he could make her feel like such a failure!
She stared at Link and sneered. She wanted to reveal his identity and completely destroy his plan of fusing the realms!
She thought this, and so she did it. “Ferde lord, it’s you! I was wondering how such a powerful elf could pop up in the Isle of Dawn. This is your disguise!”
As she spoke, she focused on defending herself. Rather than trying to defeat Link, she did it to protect her last chance of escape.
But when she was done, she saw that Link remained unmoved. He didn’t plan on stopping her at all. Finding it strange, Saroviny thought seriously and felt her blood run cold. Is he preparing to kill all the High Elves on the island and suck their souls?
The High Elves present weren’t stupid. The fight had been intense, and no victor was clear, but Saroviny looked like she’d lost. This was great news. But then Saroviny’s words shocked them all.
The Ferde lord was the Isle of Dawn’s greatest enemy. Ever since he started rising, the island’s space of survival kept getting restricted. Both their status amongst the races and their annual profits had been decreasing dramatically. If not for the protection of the World Tree, they would be at the level of the Dark Elves now.
