Chapter 711 - Realm Fusion (11) (2/2)

Someone this strong had snuck into the Isle of Dawn, and no one discovered him. This was terrifying!

After the High Elves heard this, they were first shocked and then horrified. The High Elf Queen, the elders, the young, the guards and everyone stared at Link, waiting for his reply.

Link stood in place. His expression didn’t change as if Saroviny’s words had nothing to do with him. “What, you can’t defeat me, so you’re trying to destroy our trust?”

“Link, you can’t fool me! I can recognize you even if you turn to dust! Stop hiding. A true hero shows himself!” Saroviny cackled. She felt some hope now.

Yes, Link was in Level-19 and was much stronger than her, but this was the Isle of Dawn. It had the strong World Tree too. Even Link had to avoid it. Disguising himself as a High Elf was proof. If he was exposed and attacked by the World Tree, he wouldn’t be able to retreat unharmed… But then Saroviny felt like she’d missed an important detail.

What was it?

They’d gone through a big battle, and Saroviny’s mind was in a mess. She couldn’t remember.

Just as she furrowed her brows, deep in thought, Link suddenly said, “Oh, I received the World Tree’s blessing last night. Do you think the World Tree would mistake people like you?”

Ah?! Saroviny froze, feeling icy-cold instantly.

She’d thought very deeply. The most terrifying one was that Link found out the World Tree’s secret. Not only could he not be found by the World Tree, but he could also use its power! If he really could do that, she probably wouldn’t survive today. Even her father might not be able to save her.

The High Elves were excited again. Their suspicion decreased dramatically. Since he could be blessed by the World Tree, Theodore must be a pureblood High Elf noble. The demon must have tried this trick because she knew she would lose!

Link smiled. He looked around at the High Elves. “Your Majesty, elders, my brethren, I, Theodore Morgenstern, was not only blessed by the World Tree last night. I also received its warning. Would you like to know?”

“Please speak, Theodore.” The queen’s eyes were very gentle. Right now, Theodore was the hope of the Isle of Dawn. In the future, he might even be able to fight against the Ferde lord.

The other High Elves all listened, holding their breaths.

When everyone’s attention was on him, Link pointed his sword at Saroviny. “The World Tree told me that a Realm Devourer appeared in the Sea of Void,” he announced. “Its name is the Ruler of Light and Darkness. This ruler’s daughter is Saroviny. She wants to stop the fusion of the realms to prevent Firuman from strengthening and having the power to resist the Realm Devourer!”

Here, Link turned to Saroviny. “Demon, your Abyss of Despair robe must be your father’s gift, right? Everyone, look at her robe. Let me ask you, can the owner of such an evil battle robe be a kind god?”

The High Elves began discussing anxiously. Everyone stared at the Abyss of Despair robe.

It was honestly too sinister. Not only did it radiate dark aura, but it also contained countless painful shadows. Each shadow was in a wailing state. There were countless of them in countless types of pain. A common man would get dizzy by looking at it. If they kept staring, their souls would even get pulled out.

Seeing the fearful expressions, Saroviny knew that her advantage was gone. She knew that the enemy was Link, but no one would believe her. The High Elves were too weak, too slow, and they were all mortals.

A Level-19 man could use some small tricks to fool everyone. Nothing she said would work.

Link continued. “The World Tree also told me that the Ruler of Light and Darkness is coming for Firuman. To stop this horrible god, the realm’s time sped up. This means we have less than two months to prepare to fight against the god. If we want to defend ourselves, our only solution is to fuse the realms!”

“See, he’s the Ferde lord! He’s doing everything to trick you into fusing the realms!” Saroviny yelled.

But no one listened to her. The High Elves were arrogant xenophobes. They only believed their own race. Right now, there was someone of their race who had been blessed by the World Tree and was telling them the World Tree’s warning. How could they not believe him?

“The World Tree told me that it’s not our first time fighting against the Ruler of Light and Darkness,” Link continued. “Two hundred thousand years ago, this ruler descended upon the ancient Firuman Realm. It caused the realm to crack apart. Now, he’s coming again, and Firuman at last has the power to resist…”

“Two hundred thousand years is so long ago. How can anyone be sure it’s true?” Saroviny felt that she’d found a flaw.

“The tenth page of the Book of Moses records, ‘Meteorites descended from the sky, bringing catastrophe to the world.’ I’m sure the scholars of history must have read this sentence, right?”

The High Elves were proudest of their history. At this, an elder with white hair walked out with his cane. “There indeed is this sentence. I had thought it was just a myth, but now that Theodore mentioned it, it suddenly dawned on me.”

This elder was the patriarch of the Duskmoon family. He was well-educated and respected in the history field. He was also serious about learning. Since he supported Link, the other elves all trusted him, even the High Elf Queen.

Since things were at this point, it was very clear. Saroviny couldn’t say anything. Gritting her teeth, her expression turned menacing. “I will die today, but you won’t be well-off either. Link, I will expose you!”

Before she finished, she’d already rushed out, stabbing towards Link again.

This sword truly contained all her hatred and it was many times more powerful than before. If Link really was only a High Elf blessed by the World Tree and didn’t have much experience in using the power, he might be defeated by this. Unfortunately, he wasn’t.

His Natural territory flowed around him with a green light. Countless leaf-like images danced around him like butterflies before wrapping around the thin High Elf sword in his hands. Finally, he stabbed.

Natural power was usually gentle, but when nature was angry, it could destroy the world too. The techniques could be extremely miraculous too.

Link met Saroviny’s dark sword with his sword wrapped in countless leaves. Both touched Saroviny’s sword at the same time and kept entangling, squeezing, and clashing. Some leaves started sprouting on Saroviny’s sword, quickly sucking out the dark power and turning it into Natural Mana.

Converting energy was the Natural territories strongest skill.

In that instant, Link’s Natural Mana wasn’t stronger than Saroviny, but after a few clashes, Link’s Mana started rising while Saroviny’s plummeted. After a while, Link had the upper hand.

Clang, clang, clang! After many consecutive clashes, Link’s sword broke through Saroviny’s defenses and stabbed between her brows.

His power exploded and destroyed the demon’s soul. Saroviny shook.

With a clatter, her sword fell to the ground. She lost her vitality at that moment too and just hung limply against Link’s sword.

Snick. Link pulled back his sword. Turning, he announced to the High Elf Queen, “Your Majesty, I’ve defeated the demon. We High Elves have the World Tree. It’s time to take up the heavy responsibility of protecting the realm!”

The High Elf Queen looked at Saroviny’s corpse and let out a sigh. She thought back to what she saw when Saroviny took her around Aragu. Looking at Theodore now, she suddenly kind of believed Saroviny’s words earlier.

Suspicion grew in her.

Instead of replying immediately, she looked to Theodore. A few seconds later, she said, “Theodore, you are our race’s hero. I will announce your reward before the royal tombs. Time is running short. Let’s go now.”

Link furrowed his brows slightly. He wasn’t sure what the High Elf Queen would do, but he didn’t want to ruin things, so he just agreed.

“It is my honor, Your Majesty.”
