Chapter 800-825

Chapter 800: Stirring up Middle-earth

The Rivendell prison equally held the distinct flare of the elves; glorious, elegant but not larger than the wooden house that Sheyan resided in previouslyHowever, there was no bed or enchanted torchesA clear aroered around the at water was directly obtained by slicing open drooping down vines and sucking on themThe sap water eet and exoticWhenever one felt hungry, one could si ball-sized fruits would roll down frohtly siesThey had thick skin which e off the skin, the flesh was juicy and sweet; easily filling up one's belly

Although living like this was easygoing, Franklin felt as though tily slowThis was because of his unknown fateUpon reflecting that others were freely searching for opportunities and accoly flustered that only he was imprisoned here

Under this circumstances, Franklin could only stroke a bone-beast staff repeatedlyAllowing this impressive weapon to shower him with a sense of accomplishment, that the price he paid for this orth it

As for others co to his aid, Franklin harbored zero hopesHe was clear that anyone atteainst Lord Elrond and GlorfindelThere was simply no chance of that

Yet, aiuards were called awaySoon after, a reeted politely

“You are free to go”

Franklin felt rather stumpedHe simply didn't expect to be released so quicklyOf course, he wasn't aware of thehis sixteen hours of imprisonment!

Rivendell was already a focal point of the Middle-earth alliance during this periodYet during these sixteen hours, ed Rivendell into the li the neakened twilight elf who exhibited her boundless potential, Melody SunstriderThe different races and clans in Rivendell had simultaneously received an invitation letter written personally by Melody Sunstrider

The contents detailed her she suffered the unjust treat that, she invited all to gather outside her residence during noon (an hour later), to listen to some words she had to announce

If she failed to show up, that would s of Iluvatar, where they enslaved and huht elfIf that happens, she wishes that all other elf kingdoms would return justice to her

Without a doubt, the invitation letter had directly ruined the reputation of both Lord Elrond and Glorfindel; creating huge waves of controversies like a huge stone setting off olas, had idorace to a twilight elf fro placeThus, he had swiftly notified Thranduil, the elven king of the Woodland Realic transmission of nature's frostHe also notified Galadriel, the Lady of Lothlórien, in a bid to prevent a violation of Iluvatar's teachings

The various factions of Middle-earth then unanimously expressed their desire for the elves of Rivendell, not to escalate and blow up their internal affairsAlthough they had their own opinions, they firmly believed that this was a matter that the elves had to resolve internally themselvesNevertheless, should any elf thread on the path of error and affected the state of equilibriuards to the Dark Lord, then they would step in and perhaps forcefully

Under such circuht unprepared and felt as though their heads were struck by a rodThey had no idea why the normally passive and weak Melody would abruptly display such ademeanorTherefore, they could find no excuses to prevent her fro, Melody's speech ift and concise; only raising two points

The first point was about her awakening as a twilight elfDespite her short awakening duration so far, it was only because of being a believer of the sun elf God, Sin'dorei, that she unintentionally recalled aLandsIf the elves were to force a voyage, there was only a quarter of a chance they would h this information was simple, it directly weakened the resolve of those elves supporting Elrond and Glorfindel in this return to the Undying Lands by half! Even though led in the affairs of Middle-earth and harbored undying drea Lands, a aevity was almost limitless, and can only be killed by the power of fla their hearts directlyLord Elrond only dared tovitality, but his supporters amble on a mere quarter of a chance!

The second point was about the situation revolving Elrond and GlorfindelShe did not reveal any speculations nor did she express her personal opinionsMerely, she revealed that Lord Elrond had been ambushed and that he may perish within five yearsAlso, she rando the Vilya recently

Following that, she bluntly terminated her speech

The entire speech didn't even last two minutes

Melody didn't offer any chance for questions and directly retreated into her residence

There were differing opinions regarding the first point on the journey to the Undying LandsNevertheless, some sly old characters could decipher her hidden implications, which was if they compelled her to make this trip, then she could cause a hundred percent chance of success to dwindle to a mere 20 percent

As for Melody's second point, it caused a tremendous uproarIt was simply impossible to fabricate such immaculate description of Lord Elrond's time of attack to the specific location and details

A world was filled with mysteries after all, and one could only follow clues to reach a conclusionSuffice to say, knowing the outco to it would be much more easily

Soon after, the truth of lord Elrond having only five more years to live was verifiedSince thisof Air, Vilya, should also be authenticYet in actual fact, that was a lie fabricated by Melody, nevertheless, everyone believed her!!

As for the relationshi+p between Elrond and Glorfindel, Melody remained totally silentNevertheless, her silence actually implied an ocean of a thousand words! The folks of Rivendell weren't idiots, they could discern causes and effects; naturally, they could easily tell there was an agreement between thean speculating randoh the rueous to Elrond and GlorfindelThe rumors were filled with s and poeh elves went completely down the drain

No doubt behind the scenes, Sheyan had stirred up everything

The reason why Elrond and Glorfindel suffered such losses, was because they had no clue why a soft-spoken Melody had abruptly transformed into such an incisive opponent

Her words were kept at the minimum and so were her actionsShe only dispatched a few individuals to deliver invitation letters

However, whatever she said or did……were akin to a hundred blades slicing against their body and heartIt was cutting and decisive!!

At present, even the shrewd and ruthless Elrond and Glorfindel were shell-shocked, baffled and beaten black and blue

As the saying goes, a wrong misstep leads to a journey of errorsThey failed to consider that Melody would retaliate so viciously, and even towards the area that hurt thefro of confusion and chaos enveloped Rivendell, the dark hand behind the curtains was idly sitting inside a peaceful elvish tavern, sipping and enjoying the taste of fruit wine

Honestly speaking, Sheyan disliked the taste of this fruit wineRight now,the tense situationThe bards were spreading ru first-hand informationOnly a crippled and unlucky tavern assistant re he could ar

After gracefully drinking half of the , the tavern door was violently slath that the entire door snapped with a loud 'kacha'

Following that, a red-faced dwarf rushed in while huffing intenselyIndeed, he was Mister Segi at him, he exclaimed

“Y-y-yo-yo-you………”

Chapter 801: Set off

Sheyan simli and sat hiimly looked exceptionally uneasy and his nostrils flared like an ox as he huffed vigorouslyHe continued sta…”

Sheyan gestured for the sullen looking and crippled bartender to pour a glass of wineHe then placed it before Segi anxious my friendWe have the luxury of tii the ulpHowever, his countenance instantly changed spectacularlyIt was as though his facial features had contracted in together, as the dwarf's braided beard treht seconds later, he exclaimed resolutely

“For the love of Mahal!! I sincerely beg you to never allow such a devilish drink froevity of a hundred years is on the lineThis is practically defaood name of wine!”

“But it cured your stutter” Sheyan sThus, I can now officially answer youYes, and I ahair to remove the sour taste in his mouth

Sheyan nodded and answered

“Indeed , this the sixth time you asked me that, and I've answered exactly six timesI don't wish to encounter a seventh tii spatial ic!” Sheyan declared“The more the merrier”

“What about the imli scratched his hand in eh we are friends, but, this, the clan elders do not know youTherefore, what if, err…”

“I know you have your doubts and worries, after all, hout Middle-earthHence, I've prepared some essentials as keepsake” Sheyan cali chest

Instantly, a waran stuttering once again

“M-M-Mother Earth! The tiara of that twilight elfTo forge that requires immense efforts and even three immortal divine arts have been eic prowess erand masterpiece of art”

“How much do you reckon this is worth?” Sheyan calmili bluntly replied

“A town in Gondor or any nor town of ten thousand”

Sheyan laughed and continued

“GoodTake this as collateral, let your clansather the spatial ic equipments and you realize that I am a liar, then retain this precious tiara as recoreehtlyUs dwarves possess an artifact that can create a teleportation et what you desire in three daysWait! You didn't steal this tiara froht elf did you?”

Sheyan smiled wryly and shook his head

“Do you think I possess such herculean ht elf?”

Still, this young dwarf issued a stubborn look of disagree preparedAfter clapping, the elder elf, Annenia Cyathea, and a few other elves marched overThey bowed politely at Sheyan and announced to the young dwarf

“The twilight elf's tiara in Protector's hand was personally given by lordess SunstriderThere is no doubt that he is innocent”

Sheyan glanced at Segi to gather the spatial ic equipmentsOtherwise, my friend, you will be faced with an aard predica not of worthI'll be back in a ith your desired o contact ed his shoulders helplesslyYet just when he was about to leave the tavern, he swung around abruptly and inquired worriedly“You really can find enough mithril and adamantium??”

Sheyan imploded within“…this is the seventh time! Did you treat what I said just now as bullshi+t! Lil' shi+t!!”

Half an hour later, Sheyan and Reef led a group of elves and finally arrived before the enormous oaken tree, sacred tree Sindalor

Not only was the hidden expert, Annenia Cyathea, part of this elf group, the formidable space wizard Elder Desirese Roots was also present

Sheyan pressed his palainst the sacred tree Sindalor and communicated with Melody

“Elrond and Glorfindel is presently hard pressed fro Thranduil of Mirkwood and Galadriel, Lady of Lothlórien, are both journeying over due to Elrond's injuriesMoreover, various major factions of Middle-earth have dispatched renowned physicians to RivendellTherefore, your safety is guaranteed at least before this event concludes!”

“Mn” Melody replied with her typical delicate voice“I believe you,to see you, to lean against your shoulder”

“I long for that too” Sheyan sincerely replied“Yet this opportunity is fleetingHence, you rievance and remain in Rivendell to attract the attention of othersWith this chance, I will be free to carry out so that, I will return to reunite with you”

Following that, Sheyan turn around and issued to the group of elves

“Our destination is where our Lordess, Melody Sunstrider, was taken captive previously; a place used to breed Uruk-hais with an impressive wizard tower erected thereCan anyone identify it?”

Next, the reply he received left Sheyan in great shockThis was because nearlyElf Elders Annenia and DesireseIt was a hellish place they personally devastated

According to the elves, the journey there would require roughly a day and a halfSheyan was immediately overwhel the previous visit to this world was still fresh in hiscaptured by the orcs and Uruk-hais, they hadSaruman's wizard tower!

However, this duration was actually reduced to a day and a half! This was extre to him

At this moment, Melody offloaded another surprise onto Sheyan

“Perhaps this journey can be shortened a little”

She then broke off the spirit connection between her and SheyanFollowing that, one could distinctly sense a flow ofatop the sacred tree SindalorThis archaic and th and channelled it incessantly through the roots and into the surrounding ground

A second later, an over tenThen, it dislodged itself fro up as branches rapidly extended forthDazzling white rays pierced out endlessly from its bark as the tree's body transforealed around the soil and finally strealish Yew tree

A iant ent stood before Sheyan and the elvesIts leafy arms drooped down as it stood amicably

“This is the ent FarrellHe will assist you, and the journey to and fro will only require two daysMore crucially, although that sinister encampment is in ruins, those vile orcs and Uruk-hais still dithin the Misty MountainsSir Farrell will be a good aid against the forces of evil”

Melody's voice carried a sliver of fatigue and a strand of gratification; evidently, she was happy to contribute a little to this operation

The rest of the elves then cheered unaniuide us always!”

Following that, everyone cliiant ent, Farrell, and utilized dangling vines to tie around thee strides towards the ruins of Saru speed

Chapter 802: Fierce battle with orcs

Summer days in the Misty Mountains left as fast as they caed to frosty winter conditions for nearly half the yearThe next half would be separated into autuy sun allow its rays and heat to perround

Snow and ice would finally melt and usher in a brief period of floodsPerhaps, stea from the mountain valleys as well

Sheyan dipped his hand into the inco the chill to penetrate deep into his bonesHe then splashed his face with the refreshi+ng snoater

By his side, Annenia Cyathea released a nature ic art, 'Toxin-probe'He then nodded with satisfaction

“The river source isn't polluted, Sire Protector”

Sheyan then scooped the stream water to drink as water beads trickled down the cracks of his fingers, slithering down his neck and into his chest

The earth shuddered slightly as the giant ent, Ferrell, straightforwardly stepped into the river strea the water, as he nonchalantly pulled out weapons like spears and stone hatchets from his wooden body

Ferrell chuckled with a childlike vigor and proceeded to lie down across the river strea his entire body to absorb water

Elows exuded out fro naturethe ent's body swiftly healed, the giant ent boomed with a deep muffled voice

“The MIsty Mountains are still filled with these filthy orcs”

Desirese Roots appeared rather aged hite hair and beardHowever, he was dressed like a vanguard and took the frontlines of the continentHe gazed into the distance and issued resentfully

“Everyti sufficient forces, the orcs would vanish like spineless rabbitsYet once we are low in nuutsy orcs would always provoke our path into the Misty Mountains! This is definitely related to the Uruk-hais co thehed as the group toured past the top of a tiny hill

“I truly hope more orcs will show upThe more we eliminate now, the less pressure in the next part of my planFranklin, how useful will your illusory arts be?”

Ever since Franklin was released from prison, he didn't rush to locate the other party attached to Mister Wrights or look for missionsInstead, he wisely seeked out and latched onto Sheyan and Reef

Due to the dangers of the future and that they could hit it off quite well, Sheyan naturally brought hi Sheyan's question, Franklin immediately understood the first audition trial had arrivedHe earnest replied

“That will depend on which aspectI can confuse the orcs with illusions to prevent theet, while simultaneously assault theh e combatantsI feel that this team lacks individuals who can storlance down the hillside and observed the next group of charging orcsUnder the leadershi+p of Uruk-hais, they prepared to assault

“Then what is your plan?”

Franklin didn't answer and proceeded to take actionHe raised the recently acquiredincantationOne could observe the target of his iant ent, Ferrell

Thick white iant ent as Franklin continued chantingYet the ent felt nothing strange

The thick white ated on the space beside the giant entFinally, it formed into an enormous cloud that took the shape of the ent

After around ten seconds, Franklin terly, an exact replica of the giant ent stood right beside the ent!

Franklin wiped away his perspiration and proudly announced

“This illusory reality possesses vitality and defense similar to Ferrell, but the ordinary attack power is weakened by 33Also, it inherits Ferrell's passive abilities but not the active ones, and cannot be healed”

Sheyan's eyes sparkled as he asked

“How long does it last?”

Franklin replied

“Thirty er the durationBecause the giant ent is too for it”

“Got it” Sheyan replied“Can this ability be used on contestants?”

“Not an issue, but I et of interest” Franklin answered

By now, the orcs had started charging up the hillThe giant ent Ferrell bluntly uprooted a nearby tree, and strode towards the hill edge with rock frag down

Meanwhile, Franklin's ent replica directly stood in front of Ferrell and bluntly endured the first wave of aggression by the orcs; including fla hatchets and other weapons that could deal additional dae to entsHowever, the replica wasn't affected by those

The elves flew into actionEach one of the elves were gifted archers and adorned beautiful longbows, that appeared prireen glow at the tip, which would expand like roots upon striking the orcs; piercing deep into their flesh and organs and issuing additional agony

Annenia Cyathea brandished hisaround his bodyThe exuberant energies congealed on his lobe at the tip

Whenever an Uruk-hai entered his shooting range, the light globe on his staff would pour out a white and gentle bea would swell up weirdly like it was rapidly growingYet during this process, the Uruk-hai's body would res would exceed the limits of its body and explode into blood piecesIt was an exceedingly dreadful sight!

This ability of Annenia could be described as the deviating path of healing artsOriginally an enhancing or rescuing ability, it deviated into a terrifying killer move! One could observe that Annenia Cyathea was truly an extraordinary elf, one who ieous reatly enlightened by Sheyan's 'Stairway of the Sun'

Evidently, the orcs and Uruk-hais were minions of the Dark LordTherefore, the contestants soon discovered they similarly received fate points when their elf allies killed the orcsHowever, the are and ten orcs was only equivalent to a single fate pointNevertheless, an Uruk-hai provided one fate point

If they personally killed the foes, an orc would produce one fate point and an Uruk-hai ten fate points

Despite the ferocity of the elves' assault, the a superiority and they swiftly charged up to the top of the hill

At this h and swiped through horizontally!

With Franklin's replica absorbingwith energyHis sweeping tree was as long as 7-8 , before they tuainThe ent then hurled the tree doith resulted in a frightening explosion that left the affected orcs as ible death

Sheyan observed another endless strea the hill and hastily shouted out

“Witness this! I shall display the h Sheyan's words were aimed at the elves, the ent was actually theabout the miracles of Sheyan's 'Pestilence Monarch' abilityYet all these while, he didn't have the chance to witness it

“3, 2, 1…” Sheyan counted composedly and activated the outbreak of his 'Pestilence Monarch' abilityA devilish alien 'Stairway of the Sun' plant phanto that, countless fors of viral corruption rippled out towards all corners!

Thump! A sonorous sound echoed out as the earth treiant ent's branches were swaying as his knees crashed heavily onto the groundThe other tree he uprooted fell to the ground as shock and fear inflicted his wooden countenance

“What…what kind of nature's freak!! Impossible, this sensation…ahhhhh!!”

Chapter 803: Fa allure of the 'Stairway of the Sun', even theat him!

Of course, the situation arose pri unconvinced, adopting a despising notion towards the ruuard

Yet due to this abrupt incident, the ent was distracted which allowed the pressure ahead to tighten down onto him

In this instant, Desirese Roots floated into the sky as his white hair fluttered against the windIncisive currents jolted through his wielding staff and within a split second, an unexplainable dily tore open on this hill! The dih and 40 meters wideIn a flash, the dimension crack streaked 50 meters down the hill!

All orcs and Uruk-hais that were sliced through by the diroundEventually, their bodies slipped down their waists like wheat being harvested in the fields

This was a 'Dimension Rippleblade' that Elder Desirese Roots unleashedIn the blink of an eye, at least 200 orcs and Uruk-hai were severed in half, causing the offensive momentum of the orcs to instantly wane

Blood flooded down like a waterfall, surpassing the absorbing capabilities of the soil as it for stench of organs pervaded the atmosphere

It didn't seem like Desirese Roots expanded lance of aht, and finally knelt by the side of the agonizing ent

Following that, a low emanated out froradually calazed at Sheyan with eyes that brimmed with immense horror, shock and a certain sadness

“Why…how could such a blood-thirsty verht elf Melody? Whereas she is pure, incomparably pure!”

Desirese Roots' eyes suddenly turned hollow before replying

“Oftentiht, coht elves, what they search for isn't purity but harmony, so is the world we live inAt the ut backThe ht flowers sprouts from the filthiest fecesHave you ever seen a perfect world? Or seen a coly one? To reach the heavens, one must embrace tolerance and balanceYou will never perceive that logic until you reach such a stage”

Ent Ferrell asked with a hoarse andLands said to be a perfect world?”

Desirese Roots paused for a while and gently asked

“Have you gone to the Undying Lands?”

Ferrell replied in a muffled tone

“Of course not, If I did, I surely would not have returned”

Desirese Roots cals will never be known unless personally experiencedLike a cup of water, you will never know if it is lukewarm or cold until you drink it”

(ED: You could stick your finger in it you know…)

Meanwhile, Franklin's illusion replica suffered i of the elves, its vitality withered away before eventually transfor into a sculpture which cru his battle capabilities, Franklin brandished his staff and drew a circle in ht ripples shot out from the circle which pranced around the orcs incessantlyThe light ripples caused the orcs to clutch their heads as they howled in anguish

This was Franklin's hts Confinee to foes, it delivered a negative effect of burning the opponent's MPNevertheless, the significance of carrying a powerful extra effectthe supre, the elves intended to retreatInstead, Sheyan halted themSimultaneously, Reef roared oppressively and bolted forward

In this instant, excluding the 'Faithguard' he placed on hiuardian arts onto the shi+eld charging individual; abilities included 'Ring of Thorns', 'Wild Nature Mark', 'Bark Magic', ic…

At thison heaps of crap with house flies buzzing around…without a doubt, he attracted the hordes of orcsAfter roaring to the sky with his 'Shattering Cardiac Roar', three other elven abilities were coround near hied spikes of 5-6 roups of 2-3 orcs with such exploding ferocity, the countless orcs around Reef iped clean!

Tooths of Earth!

After chains of massive rock explosions concluded, the miserable Reef stood all alone where he wasHe rese eyes indicated that he was alive…

At this ained its stance and rejoined the battlefieldUnexpectedly following that, Sheyan gestured for all their forces to chargeThe foreer was naturally Reef, followed by Elder Annenia and his elvesAfter all, he swore to obey Sheyan's commands like it was Melody's before her in the past

“Charging at this period? Isn't this welcoe of the opponents? The orcs can easily encircle and engulf us!” Ent Ferrell exclaimed with a muffled tone

Elf elder Desirese Roots frowned and re into the aard predica the group to exter happened

The ly queer display of clutching their heads in agony, shi+vering, or sneezingSo violently!

With that delay, Reef roared and slaughtered a way out, leading the group of elves deeper and eventually slaying an orc blood-shaman that was protected by three Uruk-hais

When that orc shaman died, the army of orcs instantly fell into chaosThey were like a pearl necklace that got unstrung as pearls scattered everywhere

At present, Sheyan was also charging into the heart of the eneround as dull-greenish fumes spiralled out

Some of the elves panicked initially, but soon discovered that the fumes dealt no harm to them but soed as they started a etables

When the battle ent succeeded in rejoining the group, the orcs and Uruk-hais had already lost theirElder Desirese and the ent's delay, Sheyan merely offered an insipid phrase“We could've slain another orc shaman” He then proceeded to discuss about the next course of action

Ent Ferrell and Desirese felt rather ashamed and could not co was inco the journey, the group suffered two more orc skirmishes and were delayed substantiallyOnly around one in the wee hours of the h 'Blacktooth Pass'They then traversed along the ie before arriving in an icy forest

Recently in the past, the forces of evil entrenched the supply of Uruk-haisHence, after Rivendell was notified by Melody, they dispatched forces to coed a permanent 'Wizard Eye' formation to monitor the place consistently, and even dispatched birds to scout every three daysTherefore, upon reaching here, it was considered pretty safe

Inside this icy forest, the elves worked together as they ether, for a natural 'caroup scra out a snowy pit, before raising a bonfire to keep themselves warhout their journeyAlthough they didn't undertake any ed to raise h the loots were ed to accumulate close to 100,000 utility points

The duo weren't stingy scrooges and allocated 10,000 utility points to Franklin

Chapter 804: Retrieving treasures

Once the group settled down, Sheyan found an excuse to 'settle some affairs' with ReefThe others didn't dare to inquire and only asked them to be safe

In truth, the duo left in search of the treasure buried by MelodyIt wasn't that Sheyan did not trust Melody's elves, but rather the ireat, that the feho know it the better

In the darkness of night, the duo shuttled through the pine forest, as snowflakes rained down repeatedly and infiltrated their necksThe chilling sensation caused the them alive

“We were truly pathetic the previous time” Sheyan atte sensation

Reef shi+vered as he replied

“If we encounter Lurtz noill still be in deep shi+t”

Sheyan sneezed and answered

“Lurtz should be in Isengard noouldn't be able to ht, pay attention to this darn compass”

In Sheyan's hands, was a peculiar object that appeared to be a spittoon filled up ater, with a pitch black object floating withinThe object would sube deeper if ores were detected nearby

This was an enchanted imliIt could detect ores that were buried up to three meters deep

Since Sheyan clearly remembered the direction he pointed to Melody to flee in previously, with the aid of thethe lost treasures would not be that difficult

All of a sudden, Reef yelled excitedly

“Sunk, it sunk!”

Sheyan was instantly ecstatic as the duo begun excavating the ground beneath the coth

Ten minutes later, a deep pit could be seenMo, Sheyan unearthed a seazed at each other with a dreadful sensation in their heartsThis was an extrehtthe that…the duo started digging around despondently

During the long search, they unearthed seven iron ores, three rusted arrowtips, a broken hel up an unrerass, and twigsSheyan stared at it vacantly for a long while before opening the chest

Instantly, the precious treasure acquired froed before their very eyesIn a flash, the splendorous sparkle irradiated their faces

[ Items: 1465 pounds of mithril3 pounds of adamantiumThree rubies, four sapphires and two cat's eyes ]

The adaic, and had purities reaching 999Instead in this world, the standard purity of mithril and adaations of the marketplace, Sheyan was sure this was an absolute fortune that even the devil's eyes would pop wide open with envy

“I'ish as he th then, without any s! It !”

At present, the duo had left the makeshi+ft cahtIf not for the able to communicate their safety to the elves, the elves would have started searching for them

The duo hastily returned to the caht of search had been intense and they had exhausted their thAs the habitually clean elves observed the stinky and sweaty duo, they beca theured they would be here till the afternoonHence, they started to construct a fortified camp with trees and attempted to beautify the campsite as well

When the duo woke up, it was nearly four in the afternoon where the sun was inclining down the west

Few sun rays pervaded through the leafy gapsIt was quiet all around as a vigilance welled up in Sheyan's heartLogically speaking, the elves should be residing in the ca on blow leaves and suchWhy was it so quiet all around?

He nih the thick curtain-doors, and was instantly startled by the transfor pine trees had been hacked down and configured into crenelated parapet wallsA square kilo in a spacious flatlandIn this region, any hostile creatures would experience a night accuracy of the elves

“crap, what the heck happenedWhere did the elves disappear to?” Sheyan inquired inwardlyHis doubt was soon resolved

Tra footsteps on snow drifted in, as a squad of eleves marched back with raised chests and upheld headsThey appeared arrogant like guards of honor, and even the enorst their ranks

Beside the elves, were roughly 50-60 dwarves that were striding in with mechanical-like expressionsSheyan squinted his eyes to find one fast the stereotyped and repetitive faces of dwarvesIndeed, he only recognized a single dwarve – Mister Segimli

Without a doubt, the reason the cahtiness of the elvesThey wanted toto welcohty elves

Of course, this wasn't because the elves were reet the dwarvesTheir reason was extrenize this ancient greeting between forces? Will you kno to return this foreable st them as wellUnder his leadershi+p, the dwarves returned a fierce formality which sunk the two forces into a deadlockIt was hard for one to back down first

Upon noticing Sheyan, Segi down the cliffs of the Misty MountainsHe was like an amicable little donkey that dove towards Sheyan

“Beloved friend, ah I really ical winecup”

Sheyan was initially beaht but his countenance instantly darkened as he kicked the dwarf

“Who the hell are you, I don't know you…”

After a round of torture, Segi his travel companions to Sheyan

First, was his uncle and clan head, Gi blacksonical FirestoveThen, a grandic into artifacts, Takelin TinsilkLastly, was the apprentice of grandmaster Firestove and several elite warriors of the clan and so onIt seeh the core forces of the clan were mobilized

As for the reason they rushed here, it was fairly si for a lifelineThey heard of the congregation of Middle-earth merchants in RivendellAs the Skifz Ascûd festival was only half a year later, they wanted to try their luck in RivendellNever did they expect, the adventuring little Segiht aimli contacted them, the dwarves weren't far fro for any unexpectedthat she dispatched an elf to assist theic iang clearing out so tamed Rock Rams and smoothly located Sheyan and the elves

Without a doubt, the arrival of the dwarves was a pleasant surprise for SheyanThat ht forwardThus, Sheyan sh the icy needle-leaved forest, before finally reaching a hillside that sunlight was still present

The dried grass here was soft and war down offered a cosy sensationIf co wild boar, an exceptionally nice aihout reat friendshi+p” Sheyan announced“After learning of his difficult predica a method that could, hopefully, be of assistance to hi till here, Sheyan directly produced a tiny portion of the treasures he acquired frorams of mithril and a ruby

He then earnestly said

“As a devout of a high-God, allbestoith soh-God coic, to be blessed with my heart's wishesIn order to express the authenticity of this and because of the ca to use our lordess twilight's tiaraThis is a supreed for oal

At this rabbed the asped in shock

“Ah, this is ic mithril! Its market value is twice of ordinary mithril, hey old man, don't you find this ruby rather faed his butt as he ran overHis white braided beard was nearly touching the ground as he spoke

“Why do I feel that this is…Elendil's tears?”

The crowd broke into an uproarSheyan ih Saruman had done malicious deeds in the past to plunder these wealthEven worse, the treasures seemed rather valuable and renownedNevertheless, he reh-God…thus, Sheyan cal to sell theiht, since I've verified that this ht elf's tiara back?”

“No problem at all” Dwarven chief Gimli replied happilyHe didn't show any resistance towards purchasing stolen goods and first allowed Segimli to return the tiara to SheyanThen, he produced a wooden case and retrieved a ring for Sheyan inside

Upon receiving the ring, Sheyan was instantly notified that it was a unique storyline equipment that only storyline characters could adornBut that was only natural as the mithril and others were all taciturnly understood as Melody's possessions

The ring was called Fissure, with the property of enhancing spatial ic by 10 and increase mana cost by 5

Dwarf chief Gily broken staff, in hopes that Sheyan would accept this sacrificial ritualSheyan hesitated a little before calling Elder Desirese Roots over as gazing at the staff intentlyNoticing the elder gazing intently at the staff with a vacant expression, Sheyan instantly knehat he should do……

In the end, Sheyan was left with eight pounds of mithril and one pound of adamantiumHe also retained his rubies, cat's eyes and sapphires, in exchange for a total of six spatial , Sheyan didn't exploit this transaction and in fact ic artifacts iped cleanThe dwarves of the Gih deeply

Honestly speaking, the amount of mithril and adae an incomparably exquisite artifactIt wouldn't be an issue for the the Skifz Ascûd festival

However, worldly desires could never be satisfiedFilled with insatiable greed, the dwarves of the Gimli clan wouldn't stop thereSince they discovered Sheyan who could provide thee ao further and audaciously set eyes on the throne!

Hence, Gimli immediately requested Sheyan not to trade with other parties during this period of tihtful surprise unto Sheyan

Sheyan purposely tarried for a long while before nodding his heads when the dwarves were on the verge of tearsThe top echelons of the Gi to the nearest dwarven city to gather more resources

They left behind 30 elite dwarven warriors that would heed Sheyan's co Sheyan as a 'human who earned the eternal friendshi+p of the Gi to protect him

Sheyan tested a little and realized the elite dwarven warriors indeed obeyed his co off even one bitHowever, Sheyan knew that should other dwarven clans step into his tent, the elite Gimli dwarves would proceed with two actions – either s the head of the 'supplier'

After acquiring another six spatial ic artifacts, Sheyan summoned all the elves and declared with a sole matter is of utmost importanceIt not only pertains to your personal life and death, but also the fate of our Lordess twilight elf! Therefore, I pray none will speak falsehood and deceive ic in your midst, step out now”

Without a doubt, elder Desirese Roots stepped forwardThe situation was much better than what Sheyan envisionedApart from the elder, there were four other elves that leaned towards that aspectOne eThey could nurture many skills and hobbies for theether and announced

“During h-God to other dihty ally in one particular diift he bestowed, carries a strand of his spirit auraThrough that strand of spirit aura, will you be able to link me to ly young elf replied

“Sir Protector, this matter isn't difficultIn truth, some elven summoners summon their creatures from other dimensionsIf they were incapable of establish a link beforehand, the success rate of su arts would pluhed and continued

“I need to ehty”

“That is wonderful news, sir” The elf patiently praised“A her intellectIn this aspect, the loill be when seeking it outWe will be able to easily locate the creature ast the vast and obscure dimensions”

Sheyan stroked 'Ambition' and replied

“I seeThen ill first locate a place aterOnly by interacting with a water source, can my friend's spirit aura be additionally distinct”

The group proceeded to advance and search, before arriving at the Orc's rand metropolis was now a ruinous heapOne could still observe the afterh the destruction in this area

Especially Saruround, leaving a massive pitThe once sacred landmark of the orcs and uruk-hais, was now a coe of the lake, discovering the pitch-black water that seeht into the deepest depthEvidently, this lake was ime water source, Sheyan planned to immerse 'Ambition' into the waterBy now, Elder Annenia Cyathea was pointing his ic staff at SheyanAt beam shot out from his staff and onto the water surface on Sheyan's left

A inco in a loud 'puchi' sound against the water surfaceThe resultant white splash towered several reen water was dyed e creature, one that appeared like a hybrid between a fish and a lizard, ru to fleeA half- wound could be seen across its left rib, as crimson red innards rolled outThe stench of blood permeated out, as similar species wrestled each other to feastThe once peaceful lake was now plunged into utter chaos; akin to a pot of boiling congee!

Witnessing this scene, the other elves wielded their longbows and took ai rays of death as they drilled into the water and slew quite a number of these aquatic beasts

“These aquatic beasts were created due to the leakage of dark ic and evil” Annenia Cyathea explained“When we just begun seizing the dark tower in the past, the toner directly exploded the entire tower; resulting in this lake that we see nowAll creatures that reside in this lake have been degraded by evil”

“The aquatic beasts were originally exceedingly avaricious and savage after the elves co to fill their belliesHowever, when Sheyan subed 'Ambition' into the water, they dispersed without a traceWhen a titanical phantom of Kraken Paul appeared in the lake, the lake becaasps and the heavy breathing of the surrounding elves could be heard

Sheyan gazed at the overly confident elf wizard and ordered

“You can beginMy tiround with an eive th is so tremendousTo connect with such an invincible creature, I aravely wounding itated Brother Paul

The elf said so because he could sense the dreadful terror of Sheyan's 'old friend'

The creature hadn't even appeared and wasbeneath the forbidden terrain of the watersYet, it brought along an incredibly crushi+ng pressure

All hostilities would fade in the face of such a doe aquatic beasts had fled in frenzy

Therefore, atteerous especially if the disparity of strength was tremendousA wild beast may not be in the mood to care about one, yet if one purposefully disturbs it, it e and devour one's spirit!

It was like an annoyingonThe beast would never endure such annoyance and the consequence may even be an internal rupture of one's mind

“The three of you try and establish a spirit link together” Desirese Roots contemplated and issued“Take utmost precautionsI request that protector observe by the side, once the spirit link is established, we e as swiftly as possibleWith the opposing party's cooperation, this will be much simpler”

The three elves each equipped one space artifact, where one could observe a gentle white blessing e out from themIt wasn't that they didn't wish to equip the rest, but that they couldn't……

The three elves stood in a '品' foric towards the phantasly feel countless threads of space congealing towards that spot, as if space was freezing up

This was the priic wizards were few

Spatial ly powerful but incredibly rareOne would need to risk certain dangers in training this ic would only be noticeable at the later stages of one's trainingIt would minimally require several decades or even a century of hard work, but the dangers of training commences at the start; like a shadow that follows the trainee all the tiains was extreic wizards in all of Middle-earth was supremely rarePossibly, only the elves with inexhaustible vitality could produce so ic wizards

If not for the powerful space ht by the dwarves, the elves probably wouldn't dare to take the risk

Sheyan stood by the side silently as he spectatedHonestly speaking, he couldn't understand the sequence of , but only felt that the atmosphere was incomparably tenseOnly Franklin found this situation rather interesting as well

Annenia Cyathea suddenly pressed his hand onto Sheyan's backInstantly, the sceneries in Sheyan's view faded awayWhat reic elf wizards and the phantasic froht blue brillianceThen, the brilliance swiftly assembled and formed a distorted trace and dove into the infinitely deep darknessThis was probably the connection between spirit fragh the link appeared weak, it was mysteriously firm that no physical barriers could break itThe three elves strove to be as gentle and amicable as possible, as they slowly approached the main consciousness of Brother Paul

“Who dares to violate nty!!!”

All of a sudden, a sea of azure brilliance that could cover the heavens flooded inThe three elves ie at once – “Beloved Paul, Seaman wishes to contact you!!”

The h that was so, the three elves were treBlood oozed out from their nostrils

In this instant, Sheyan sauntered forward and transferred his thoughts with Annenia Cyathea's assistance

“Dear venerable Paul, I ayuan, the comrade who served you fat delicious beef”

“Oh…I recall nowAre you at the caribbean sea?” Paul's voice carried no vigilance but a sense of delightFriendly ties between creatures were more resolute than between hu to Sheyan

“My body is infested by barnacles, those darn shells scraping htI also miss the flavor of clean fat cow and the taste of rus will be glad to service you anyti you a comfortable and jovial life is the duty of a friend after allHowever, I have sorave importance that I seek you today”

Sheyan rese his pointed tail as he slowly lured Paul in

“There areup barnacles?” Paul replied with a low uess…there is” Sheyan's lips curled into a sinister s customers into a brothel“My friend, I am in a place far far away froeous eous…madam?” Kraken Paul answered in bafflement

“Indeed” Sheyan s like a sea divinityHer sucklers round and sexyWorthy of praise are her superior genes that can breed a supreeneration”

Kraken Paul replied with hesitation

“My friend, I've seen nueouscan happen, I would've shed loudly and replied

“My beloved friend, you are being too modestThis madam is not one bit inferior as an invincible existence like youAccording to my estimation, her physique may not be smaller than yours! Most importantly, I even doubt you can settle her!”

“Woah oah! Impossible, no oceanic creature can be above h it had been insultedOne could i the sea around frantically with its dozento the skyThe massive fluctuation of mood instantly caused the three elves wizard to turn pale and cough out blood

“Calm down, my friendHow about this, I will exhibit one of theis dead, I believe you will be able to sense out its hting spirit, Sheyan chuckled in response

“But you s”

“Quick sayI can't wait to see her eggs”

“Firstly, I still have a use for that egg, you must return it to ly far, it won't be so easy transferring anything to youTherefore, you must cooperate, otherwise, we can't transfer it over”

Paul hesitated a little before boo with a muffled voice

“The fist is fine…but to cooperate with youDavy Jones won't be very pleased with that”

“So don't let hiet it then? Goodnight?”

“Nononono!!!” The intrigued Paul quickly and urgently refuted Sheyan's suggestion“I swear on my tentacles and sucklers, if you dare terht now, I shall make you drink seawater for three days the next time we meet!”

“Fine fine, so will you cooperate with us?”

“Of course!”

“Then what about Captain Davy Jones?”

“You are right, it'll be fine if he doesn't know…”

Following that, Elder Desirese Roots created a ic array in order to transfer a 'Scorched Oceanfreak Moria's Egg' that Sheyan acquired previouslyThe three elves were not strong enough to undertake such a task

Fortunately, with the cooperation of Kraken Paul, the difficulty of this task wasn't that difficultStill, it was an arduous challenge for Elder Desirese RootsNevertheless, with the spacetheir usefulness, nothis dimension transportation process

Hence, not even ten seconds later, Paul yelled out ht is truly iuely sense how y source similar to mine! She can definitely endure my passion!”

Sheyan couldn't help but wipe his perspirationAs it turns out, the way Paul identified his spouse was having an adequate butt-size, ability of reproduction, and enduring durabilityAs long as one will not be squashed, one would be sufficient to satisfy the passion of the gigantic kraken

“My friend! Where are you right now? I must travel thereFor the sake of blissfulness, for the sake of future offspring!” Paul was no longer thinking straight as he shaationOne could fatho of two hegeh to Brother Paul's inco while of silence, he replied with a troubled tone

“Where I'm at is a completely different dimension from the caribbean seaFor you to reachriteYet if Davy Jones knows of this, he will abhor our deeds undoubtedly”

The ecstatic Paul answered hurriedly

“He is presently sailing towards the west, don't worry about hi I was summoned here”

Sheyan continued resistantly

“My friend, your indoht incites all of our envyHowever, that exactprocessTo summon you absolutely isn't a simple matter!”

If it was another creature, it would certainly be at a loss to Sheyan's explanationInstead, Kraken Paul was a heaven-defying ic from Davy Jones and possessed exceptional abilitiesNext, through a fortuitous encounter, the curse brought about by the contestants then had ultihted colossus

That was also because Paul suffered only half the effects of the curse due to Sheyan's disruption thenHence, he was actually a se certain characteristics of ghostly ence of his feelingsMost crucially, Kraken Paul was initially a summoned creature of Davy Jones and naturally possessed extensive experience and knowledge with regards to summons

“I have a way, Seaman Yan!” “The speric transportation array you ereatest hty Paul in the same frequency as other pathetic creatures”

“…” Sheyan speechlessly replied“Alright, Elder Desirese Roots, any questions?”

Desirese Roots bowed hu as it isthe intensity of the transportation array, I will be fine even with two tiic artifacts”

The same event occurred as previouslyExcept, for a nore is established between two dimensions, even the lowest tier of suantly pa the their exceptional statusInstead, the tier-9 legendary Brother Paul was aloof and indifferentFacing the terribly slow su speed, his tentacles flew into a dance without hesitation as he frantically climbed towards Sheyan's dimension……

“Sir Protector, is this your unrivalled ally?”

When the su rite concluded, the elves starred with utter astoundated towards Sheyan's left palm

On his palm, was a ers, ung around fro that, this miniature octopus appeared to be dissatisfied with the elves' expressions, as it widened its eyesout two thin water pillars

The honest and thick-headed Segie to tease

“My friend, are you sure you wish to challenge that htmare of the mines of Moria, predator of all adventurers, the raptor of the Misty Mountains, Oceanfreak Moria? If you really edyWhere is your conscience? Hais…”

The edHe jetted out a shot of black ink into the face of Segii th, you best stay as far away as you can”

As it turns out, Paul facilitate the ease of su his physique, which was an innate ability gifted by Davy JonesIt was primarily to store the kraken inside a fishbowl and nurture itYet Paul unexpectedly utilized this ability to facilitate his suth

Sheyan lifted his hand as he observed the ersHe suddenly thought of wasabi, soy sauce, balsaar, and the incredibly chewy taste in one's hed, dispelling away such dangerous evil from his mind

By now, Sheyan's forces had expanded powerfullyApart from the faithful faction of Melody's elves, he had thirty elite dwarven warriors protecting himThis force was practically as reliable as a fortified wall

Sheyan distinctly reraved at the bottom of a sculpture in Rivendell

An army of dwarf resembles a profoundly indomitable chain vestEach warrior an unbreakable chainSharing duty, honor and loyalty that interlocked each other like a chain vest; once locked together, nothing can penetrate the vest

Thus, after exa the time, Sheyan blatantly traversed the ruins of the orcdeeper for that icy valley before arriving before the poisonous pine forest

The elves orthy of being the blessed children of natureUpon arriving here, they sensed that soilantlyAfter a quick inspection, one warned

“Sir ProtectorThere exists an unknown treachery hereWe lanced at Reef and smiled faintly

“No worriesThe sun has set, ill be safe at least before it rises toh the pine forest and arrived by the river edgeBy now, Brother Paul's cooldown duration had concluded and had long regained his strength

Sheyan then earnestly said

“Go uarantee that beautiful valiant ht, I should round rivers and you should probe around”

Theacross the sand like an eight-legged ballerinaPaul then exclai, I can already sradually crawled into the river

Segirumbled to Sheyan

“This is murder my friendI sincerely feel tht Mister Paul should be spending his childhood in a pond, not taking an i all boastful about this”

Just before Segiantuous tentacle pierced out froThe tentacle was at least 7-8 htJust fro sucklers, one's soul would shi+ver from panic!!

The tentacle proceeded toserpent, and pursued Segih alive for a century, was still considered a youthHe screa forcefully dragged into the river!

Only when Segied into the river, did the elves and dwarves regain their sensesThe thirty elite dwarves yelled frantically yet none of thee, the dwarves prided thenable rocks……hence, they would most likely drown in the water

Yet soon after, the young dwarf eain, yet not before he was hurled flying by the tentacle and landed

The hed violently and lamented

“Ahhhhh I rescindaffair lasted for five ti the half-dead Segi on the sand like a spineless scallionPaul then finished with a wave slap of water, causing all elves and dwarves to appear like drowned rats

Only after that, did Paul proceeded to search for the female octopus, Oceanfreak Moria

The dry Sheyan and Reef released a dry cough and announced

“It seeot to es, oh, wrong, a gentlerievances very clearly!”

The river side was now a plain of silence, looking as though nothing abnore bonfires as they patiently awaited

After half an hour, everyone felt a sudden tremor beneath their feetThis tremor felt similar to an earthquake

Closely after, the river water started undulating intensely with uished their bonfiresOne could iemons was!

At this moment, Elder Desirese Roots whispered to Sheyan

“Respected Protector, I a your plans but…I feel that our ht elf's predicae that Oceanfreak Moria of Misty Mountains is unparalleled in strength, but I can't see how slaying or convincing it can be of help to Lordless twilight elf”

Chapter 808: Devastating news

Sheyan remained quiet and smiled faintly at the inquiry of Melody's loyal elder

Sonorous splashes of water erupted from the river as a titanic dark-blue tentacle stretched outYet instantly, two other larger, black tentacles brutally tangled in and pressed the first tentacle back into the water

This was a tre scene to the onlookersThe colossus Paul displayed such terrifying ht the he could unexpectedly use two tentacles to tie down Oceanfreak Moria that was larger than hi from the water, as the tussle extended to over twenty meters in radius

Ocreanfreak Moria's tentacle waved frantically in the air, but finally unleashed attraction strength fro to a rocky cliff by the edge of the riverThe contractions of her tentacles sainst the solid-like-iron walls, and caused fissures to for its tentacles tossed around was certainly miserable

At this moment, one could observe a shade of fluster and wariness in the half-e eyes of Oceanfreak Moria, as she stared intensely at her abrupt but indomitable foe!

Instead, Brother Paul slapped the water surface excitedly, as he raised two thick tentacles to foresture like that of cha in front of his opponent, wanting to fully convince her before persuading the flesh of the opposite sex

“What powerful asped in surprise

Battle Ent Ferrell trudged forward and shi+elded the elves behind hiinal wood body and wouldn't ht in front of Oceanfreak Moria's five tentacles that were sticking out of the water, five incredibly sharp glacic pillars had strangely frozeThe glacic pillars shone with deadly brilliance and hinted of an i death

Reef whispered to Sheyan

“Seems like this damned female octopus didn't exhibit its deadliest form the previous ti would've been destroyed without a fight last tihed and replied

“The iven birth naturally couldn't display her opti to resist head on?”

While the duo chatted, those five terrifying glacic pillars raht for PaulInstead, Paul didn't attempt to evade but directly unleashed a tyrannical hydro pulacic pillars struck Paul, it seee hiht blue mist that froze Paul into an ice sculpture

Despite so, Paul's ice sculpture state only persisted for two seconds before he shook free, shattering the iceHis two tentacles whipped down likeinto the sea as water lotuses bloorabbed Ocreanfreak Moria and hurled her ferociously away

“Oh, Paul looks as if he can fight ten at one go, and seems like he is immune to water element abilities…”

“Such brute force suffices in subduing his foe but can he win her affection?”

“Can't say for winning her affection, but occupying her flesh would be a siht boss, shouldn't anothersoon? Otherwise, hoould we even get Oceanfreak Moria's eggs?”

“According to online sources, the Misty Mountains are near Moria, and there is only one monstrous beast, which is Oceanfreak MoriaOctopi have sis even without a eneration”

””

The situation heated up as Oceanfreak Moria was evidently one ouldn't adrand water elemental techniques for all to peruse

Sadly, almost all peak water ele the environ was too hard for Paul to handleThe only effective water ele of waterloids; three towering waterloids of 5-6 ht swarmed Paul maliciously, but were effortlessly swiped into vapour by a single tentacle from Paul…

When the ht for the 'nth' time and violently slammed away, it released a melancholic hiss and wrapped itself with tentacles before curling up by the shore without ned to the wonton wishes of its foe…

Paul slapped his tentacles against the water with ecstasy, before dragging this big-eyed octopus ain, rhythed onto the surface of the river…

In the interest of saving tiine the passions involved between two octopus…oh, this really requires an intense forhly an hour later, Paul slapped the water while swih spirits, while Oceanfreak Moria followed behind it like a docile, abused mistressFor unknown reasons, as Sheyan observed this scene, he subconsciously thought of Pan Changjiang striding arrogantly with a teary Fan Bingbing following behind his trail……

Sheyan was all smiles when this affair concluded, it was akin to a boulder being rereeted the passionate Paul by swiift to Oceanfreak Moria afterwards – two fatty, clean, and alive male bulls purchased froift and Brother Paul, Oceanfreak Moria's atittude towards Sheyan becaed to even shake 'hands' with the tip of Oceanfreak Moria's tentacle

Since he created a favorable impression, Sheyan proceeded to call over Annenia and two other elves, who sneakily interacted with Oceanfreak Moria as wellWith the children of nature beside him, interactions became fairly harmonious and smooth

Brother Paul would soon auto effects wore offTherefore, he wanted to seize the time to nurture this relationshi+p with Oceanfreak Moria

When the two gigantic octopuses once again tangled tentacles and subed to the bottom of the river, Annenia and the two elves bowed hu settled down, Sheyan continued pondering by the river edge before abruptly asking Elder Desirese Roots

“Howarray”

Elder Desirese Roots was slightly puzzled and dissatisfied with Sheyan acting so mysteriouslyStill, he earnestly answered

“We s will be, and what creature will be suhtforwardly

“Frequency…probably once every three hours for a duration of an hour eachThe strength of the creature is roughly similar to Mister Paul”

Elder Desirese Roots contemplated a little and responded

“If you insist on establish that su array, I can supply the resourcesHowever, we lack the heart of a stone giant, half a pound of Mirkwood's Wicked Wishcrow's fresh blood, three white cow horns, and one rubyThe array will last for a decade and only requires a change of ruby afterwards”

“Segimli, can you help me record down the elder's words?” Sheyan politely asked

Segi his wet beard and asked in shock

“Why? Can you even read in the dwarven language?”

“Those items will be one of the next criteria in my trade with the Gih level ht elves, especially a SunstriderI can fork out the materials, but I shall request for a master blacksmith”

Sheyan sincerely answered

“You will get those items my friend! The Gimli clan is pleased to service you” An elite darrior excitedly interruptedThis was an aged, old, warrior with a white beardNevertheless, his robustman

Sheyan nodded with satisfaction and smiled

“Should our cooperation be a success, I will bless the Giimly asked curiously“What surprise?”

Sheyan s and turned to the elves

“It is ti our swift return”

The battle ent Ferrell intruded with a muffled voice

“But Annenia and the two elves haven't returned”

“They are very safe, I needed thehed in response“Don't worry, they are busy with soht Elf and us”

Nothe journey backAfter nuer dispatched ive their lives in vain

Three days after froain entered this domYet before they could even rest for a drink, they received devastating news!

Chapter 809: Betrayed

Decree of Holy Nature:

Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, Shelterer of the Misty Mountains, noble son of Eärendil, and Keeper of Vilya, shall depart for the Undying Lands within the shortest time in search of a way to restore his life

He will be escorted by the most excellent Melody Sunstrider, and Elven Elders, Sindelwyn Yellowpage and Botehan YoungbudThis delegation of twenty will traverse the thousand leagues as elvish representatives of Middle-earth, to pay respects to the most illustrious IlluvatarWe bid Lord Elrond best fortunes in reaching the Undying Lands as soon as possible

noble Twilight Elf Glorfindel will assu of Air, Vilya, shall be rescinded fro Thranduil and Lady Galadriel against the Dark Lord

This decree is signed with the supre Thranduil of the Woodland Realm, Lady Galadriel of Lothlórien, Lord Elrond of Rivendell, and the noble Glorfindel

Any intention to alter this decree will be dee the authority of all elves of Middle-earth, and the perpetrator will be subjected to the retaliation of elvishthe decree posted on the boards of Rivendell, the elves of Melody became shell-shocked

Evidently, this decree was introduced after nu factions, where each received personal benefits upon taking this ultiain the opportunity to travel to the Undying Lands, but losing his authority as head of the elves

Glorfindel gained the lordshi+p of Rivendell that he so desired and even his elves get to remainNevertheless, he lost the opportunity to acquire the Vilya

Elven King Thranduil of the Woodland Real out the successor of Rivendell, but they acquired the using rights of the Vilya

Everyone received respect except the newly prolected without any hint of hesitation

Such tyrannical conduct caused even the neutral elves to be enraged, each expressing their respective objectionsNevertheless, if mere objections were useful, ould there be a need to battle with ht in this world?

Meanwhile, the various races expressed satisfaction with this outco away a tremendous multitude of Rivendell Elves were allayed, and the elvish ht in Middle-earth would not weakenTherefore, they could still contest evil should the Dark Lord rise again

Faced with this sudden twist, Sheyan was the only one who could reh this outcome was already within his predictions

As he perused the words of the decree, Sheyan's lips curled into a cold suys can't refrain froardless of hoell the fox tail is hidden, it has been revealed too early, all according tothis period, Sheyan didn't h the sacred treeSheyan didn't wish for his foes to seize any handle they could use against hi were of utmost importanceNevertheless, he was a little worried about offending Elder Desirese Roots

Fortunately, Sheyan held utmost faith and hope in MelodyIn truth, she was the most important piece of his schemes

To his present perspective, Melody displayed such unwavering faith in him even when he was absentTherefore, now that she knew of his presence, her courage would be bolstered further! He believed her confidence in him was now unshakable

“I will never disappoint you” Sheyan observed Melody's elvish residence as hethe decree

Most of thedepartedA hazy drizzle enshrouded Rivendell as trees and plants regained their emerald-like luster fro yellow could be seen at the tip of so thethis rare century celebration of Rivendell

The white pebble path was longer pristine and free from mudFilth and mud could be seen everywhere, and the immortal mountain-like cleanliness of Rivendell had reverted to its original for behind shells of carcassess that solidified with the olden linesA falling leaf drifted past his eyes, as he stooped to cough lightly before hty uni-horn stallions were positioned to haul along the carriage

After two of Elrond's close confidants supported hiuard by the side

The expressionless Melody was escorted by two fee exhibited an ivy exterior with edges bea a comfortable and honored ireen radiance would cause the ivy to continuously grow, before curling around Melody's spotless and slender wristsHer wrists were also bound by athis scene, Elder Desirese Roots iry expression and fumed

“Those withered-up elves! They dare constrict Lordess Melody with the “Nature Restraining Leaves' and use such a despicable energy absorption array!!”

As it turns out, the carriage was also infused with an energy absorption arrayIt could endlessly absorb one's nature ic prohich would be converted to vitalityThis was the greenish radiance that constantly grew the ivy

The blazing red maple leaves on her wrists appeared like ordinary orna external spirit energies fro into her body

With both absorption and prevention of her nature energy, one could be surel that Melody would not be up to no good along the wayYet this treatly painful torture to herSeeing how gentle and peaceful Melody looked, it was hard to i torture

No farewells, no eation directly departed

After traveling down the azed deeply back at the majestic city enshrouded with hazy drizzleThen, he ainNo one could fathohts

The drizzle slowly crescendoed to a heavy downpourUnbeknohen, dark clouds gathered as lightning bolt streaked through the e whiteness as visibly pluation departed RivendellThe vile weather failed to halt their advance but effectively slowed their advancing paceHowling winds tore against trees and plants, like an invisible and brutal giant hand viciously ripping apart the hair of a feeble maiden

One's vision failed to connect with any end, only a vast and ghastly whitenessThe path collecting the downpour e dreadThis path followed a steep precipice that could easily lead to the dee eventually halted at the peak of this , because such a torrential rain could easily lead to mountain floods or landslides

Once disaster struck at the bottom, only a few measly travellers would be able to escapeThe revered Elrond was now accustoardless of personal interest or not, he wasn't willing for such an outco drenched froety uni-horn stallion and cale and bowed before alerting

“Lord Elrond, I'er proceedThe journey of a dozen leagues through the valley will be too treacherous in this tempest”

Elrond quickly replied with a low voice

“Alright”

Moe, and begun constructing a large and marvellous pointed-tip tentThey were meticulous and speedily efficientHence, they failed to discover a strange change happening beneath the crystal clear water collecting at the bottom of one elf

The accumulated water seeealed into a thick hand with crystal like joints, even cyan veins could be seen clearlySlowly, it abruptly seized the ankle of that elf and pulled!

The elf instantly yelled in vigilanceAfter all, the feeling of slipping and being pulled was colanced over, the cosThe rainwater-congealed hand had long disappeared after pulling the elf

When that elf fell heavily to the ground with his back touching the floor, he exhibited an inco stiff

The other elves didn'tabnormal could be vividly observed, and the elves carried on with their dutiesOnly one bent down to assist the elf

Chapter 810: A a storm was a common affair

Furthermore, when the elf that was assaulted released a yelp, it sounded si winds

Hence, lanced over nonchalantly as they continued toiling after affir aas the assisting elfHe i his coly peculiar, as though it was devoid of strength like he was pulling a corpse

He hastily bent down and flipped his elf co deep wound across the coreeted himThen, he noticed the lifelessness in the elf's eye coupled with his ghastly pale coely, the periphery around the wound appeared deathly white as though the body had been soaked in water for a long tile droplet of blood, and forcefully squeezing the wound resulted in turbid rainwater flowing out insteadEvidently, the aura of life had long escaped this physical body

While the baffled elf was inspecting his coely congealing togetherThen, it morphed into a shaftless transparent blade that sliced in with indescribable speed

This elf wasn't very strong and could be considered extrerandpa, and was mostly humanOtherwise, he wouldn't be tasked with such servant-like choresMoreover, he definitely wouldn't choose to spend his best years atte Lands with Elrond

Thus, the transparent blade sliced in for the killThe elf only felt a co; not even agonyOnly, he saw so out from his neckIt was a queer yet soradually di blood from the collapsed elf instantly incited the attention of everyoneA person slippingwas undoubtedly uncealable

“An ambush by enemies!”

The elves howled out in panicThese laborious elf servants onderful in chores but a travesty with regards to fightingThe situation fell into a messy upheaval as the elves tried to look for the hidden eneripped the ankle of another elfThe elf as still trying to find a foe fell and moved no more

This attack itnessed by a half-elf besideThat elf instinctively glanced at his own feet and released a terrified screa into a transparent and enorripped his ankle

In this instant, the elven bloodline in this elf exhibited its superior ht as the elf darted away at once

In spite of that, the transparent liquid hand was displeased with the failed assaultIt immediately swept in with another round? With the pouring rain, only puddles of rainwater apart from solid mountain rocksWhen the transparent liquid hand swiped in, the hand merely struck more rainwaterYet in that instance, the hand abruptly transforer was transparent and bri the chances of puncturing its foe

The liquid hand seized the water dagger and thrust it ferociouslyFortunately, the elf was pretty agile, possibly due to his superior elven bloodlineThe elf continued to dodge repeatedly

Still, the transparent hand struck with astonishi+ng speed, jabbing in blades i hand seemed to be able to conduct form displacementThe hand abruptly melted into the puddles, and reappeared behind the elf a second later!

nobody could fatho of the transparent handAfter a single thrust, the hand then proceeded to stab unceasingly like a windly wretched elf round, and blocked off several blows

All of a sudden, the transparent liquid hand executed a ghostly flash hostly flash was actually due to a sudden unparalleled accelerated thrust! It thrust straight for the saoes, dripping water penetrates the stone and ropes saw off tih extremely sturdy, ultily strong water blade

Kacha! The wooden plank finally snapped

Following that, the transparent hand executed a throwing actionSoon after, the hand unexpectedly turned into a sharp blade itself and penetrated deep into the chest of the half-elf

The half-elf screaered backward before slu blue pupils swiftly faded, as the savage transparent liquid hand dissolved into a puddle after co murder

Meanwhile, it wasn't only these half elf servants that were being assaultedEyes were sies

In truth, this meticulously plotted sneak attack was definitely for assassination

Before the transparent liquid hand was discovered previously, the falling rain water above Elder Sindelwyn Yellowpage's carriage was suddenly ignitedQueer light-blue flaraded into an incinerating light-blue fireballThis fireball blazed down froreen radiance floated up froe from the sky

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions occurredThe air became polluted with fiery sht in the wave of fla

The light-blue fla withback in fearNot only that, the blue flames landed on mountain rocks and caused them to fizzleThe rain water landed on the fla oil to a fire

The green radiating barrier protecting this carriage turned evidently diluted, repeatedly unleashi+ng greenish brilliance against the crudely splashi+ng fire flauishable at any second, but the pouring rain continued to fuel the flae with an inferno, threatening to burn everything to a crisp within a split second

The decorations of the carriage fell in successions, releasing 'ding dang' sounds a sounds of a burning horse nearbyThe scene was exceedingly strange to describe

A ed out froe

Of course, he wasn't the only one to surfaceIn front of the gri and massive earth elereat bear that blasted the carriage into sh the blue flaed the earth elemental's body wantonly, the elemental seemed to be unbotheredYet at this ti rain, an incredibly fierce and deadly glint flashed in

This glint created an i one's eyesNot only that, it seeony that would cause one's heart to distortThis was an arrow specifically utilized to invade one's heart

Not hout the entire Lord of the Rings worldThis could be said aershi+p as well!

The reality was that it wasn't an elf that fired this arrowInstead, it was the most hated and reviled enemy of the elves

Uruk-hai Lurtz!

The arrow directly penetrated the core of the earth ele an elemental creature, the earth ele in this worldThus, it instantly degenerated into a heap of rocks that cruravely wounded Elf Elder Sindelwyn Yellowpage as wellA frightening puncture wound could be seen at his chest, as fresh blood dyed his robe red

Concurrently, as the billoinds howled, a lightning bolt whistled in for the other carriage of Elf Elder Botehan Youngbud

The two uni-horn stallions that pulled Lord Elrond's carriage si a furious neighA golden brilliance glittered at the tip of their hornsThe brilliant resplendent wasn't a good sign, but an indication that powerful evil loomed nearby

Amidst the hazy rain, an unfatho

Be it thechauffeur, it seeh the source of darkness had enveloped their bodies

The shadow haltedIt was as though the shadoas covered in black ink; nefarious, ghostly, and carrying an unrivalled nature of invasion!

Even the falling rain water, once landed on the shadow's periphery, would be polluted with overflowing evil!

Chapter 811: Trap in a trap

A knight eed fro the ground, but assi the environ rainwater that fell on hiht or hten the soul flickered in the darknessAll who looked into those eyes would have their souls sucked into the darkness

Indeed, the s; eternally for between the real slaves of SauronDarkness followed after theûl, also known as Ringwraiths!

During this period, every single carriage was under siege by unknown forcesAll except Melody's carriage, it was as though the assaulters were clear on the aard predicaht elf was inTherefore, not doing anything was the best e would, in turn, cause the situation to sour

Amidst the rain andwith evilThe line of stagnant carriages trapped along a mountain path like a dead serpentEven the lanced around nervously, sto repeatedly around with their hoovesEvidently, they would've galloped faraway if not for being straddled to the carriage

“We, ûl spoke with a heartless tone to Elrond's carriageHis voice see deep into one's heart

“Today, I, Khamûl, Seventh Grand Duke of Númenor, Shadow of the East, loyal servant of Lord Sauron, and Lord of Rhûn, hereby declare; my sword shall taste the blood of half-elf Elrond, his heart sacrificed to the dark one!”

(ED: Khamûl is actually not of Núiven by Tolkien, the rest of the titles are accurate)

Elrond finally e a female's hand

This feracefulIn her hands, was a divine staff that see seedlings, bloo plants were endlessly occurring on this 'branch'

Upon viewing this elf low

“Galadriel?? Why are you here?”

Indeed, this elf maiden was Galadriel, Lady of Lothlórien!! A pure blooded elf that didn't suffer even after wearing one of the rings of power! One could fathonable will

Concurrently, a fair hand reached out to welco headed for Elder BotehanAfterwards, the lightning's ht was coold hair then trudged out froe and announced

“How can I be absent froht elf Glorfindel who should be in Rivendell had surfaced as well!

In this instant, Uruk-hai Lurtz fired off another arrow froreat bow soaked with fresh blood!

A cold arrohistled in towards Glorfindel like the feasting eyes of a deh the number of enemies was unexpected, everyone that appeared were all formidable wizards

As for Uruk-hai Lurtz, an archer who lurked in the shadohile targeting his enemy's weakness, he could stealthily terrorize the entire field

This was because thetimeThe incantation process would be the optimal moment for Lurtz to strike fatally

Lurtz loosed his bowstring with a piercing 'twang' that shook everyoneHis arrow carried a dreadfully savage aura as it whizzed inOnce the arrow collided in, it would explode with a potentcapable of blocking or not, his opponent would be forced to retreat, thereby winning the advantage for Ringwraith that specialized in assassination

Yet at this round, a certain corpse rolled and suddenly climbed upThe elf corpse didn't racefully as if he was playing a guitarA green glow then shot out and blocked the inco in for twenty plus meters, the arrow exploded with a reenof Sheyan's 'Curse-mix'Instead, this miasma ushered in aaround in the empty air offered no effects at all

The 'corpse' wiped its face……revealing the dashi+ng face of Prince Legolas like that of thesunHe smiled and announced

“My father has returned to his kingdo event?”

All of a sudden, several figures e ures were extremely familiarThey were none other than the contestants who entered this world with Sheyan and Reef

The reserve-duty Growth-Hunter MT named Mo Yi and his confidant ShurenThe two plus Yerna who suffered under Sheyan beforeThey barely ed to assemble a party, yet from the looks of it, their hand in thisfrom the current situation, this so call Elrond's expedition to the Undying Lands was actually a decoy

The culprits who plotted against Elrond previously probably knew of his injuries as well; knowing that if he couldn't return to the Undying Lands within a short period of time, he would undoubtedly perish in Middle-earthHence, the opti Lands after leaving Rivendell

Evidently, Elrond had noticed that point tooHence, his original intent was to bring alongwith hiards to Melody had unintentionally greatly aided the culprits who assaulted Elrond

Forced into such desperation, Elrond could only bring a few elves to roup was pretty talented as wellTheyhimself as bait to lure out his foesFrom the looks of it now, this plan was quite an exceptional success

Prince Legolas, the two Elf Elders, Galadriel, and GlorfindelThis was an incredibly frightening combinationWithout a doubt, this asseûl Khaûl KhaEspecially Lurtz, whose eyes flashed with cruelty and coldnessHe fished out a leather wine pouch froulped down the contentsDark-red alcohol leaked out from the corner of his lips and trickled down onto his hairy chest

Nazgûl Khahter

“Wonderful, truly wonderfulYou have all arrived, yet today, all shall perish, none shall bar the way of Dark Lord Sauron when he sweeps through all of Middle-earthComar!”

Galadriel scoffed in response

“Shamar reveal abnormal movements, then Gandalf and Saruman would've notified us at first noticeI just received the whispers of the wind three hours ago, one of the huûlThe shadows of the Nazgûl covered that glorious cityEven the fastest Silver Unicorn would require 15 days to gallop to the Misty Mountain”

Yet at thislike a rusted blade scratching against a whetstone

“Indeed, nothing you said is wrongMy fellow Nazgûl are indeed offering the honor and darkness of our lord to the huh-God are on our lord's sideA deliberate plot to create seven dark dih-God, yes, ûl shall comeYour flesh will return to dust!”

At thispillars of darkness shattered the haziness of the foggy rain, soaring straight up to the sky!

Those seven terrifying pillars of darkness forûl Kharadually concentrated together, as the eight nefarious ringwraiths assembled as one!

A sinister yet abstruse voice whispered through the at vile diabolical curses from hell

“I am Dwar of Waw, my sword desires to sever your breath”

“I am Dawndeath Jí Indûr, lover of elf blood”

“I am AkhôrahilGaladriel, your hair will beco Hôar terror to your souls”

“Your skulls will becoer!”

(TL: The naul caarand affair…this completely eclipses my expectation”

Approximately three kilometers away from the battlefield, a concealed cave could be seenThe cavern entrance was covered with vinesUpon entering the entrance and roup of individuals sitting togetherIn front of thehly 5-6 square meters wideNevertheless, this puddle of clear water rese at the distant le movement was overlooked

The one who spoke was indeed SheyanHis broere tightly knitted togetherThe present Sheyan finally realized that all along, he who deemed himself as the dark hand behind the curtains who manipulated battles to his victory, had actually been pitifully used as a chess piece for someone else's plan!

Further the asseulsThere was still Uruk-hai LurtzSuch a battle on this scale…honestly speaking, it wasn't so the current Sheyan could conjure up with his own hands

This battle situation was akin to a endlessly deep whirlpoolWithout possessing adequate strength, don'tnearby would cause one to be sed up and torn asunder!

“Although this sounds pathetic, but towards this situation…I have lost all controlThere is no loophole that I can exploit” Sheyan reat bitternessThis was one of the rare times he admitted his miscalculation

Reef watched the puddle intently for a while before he spoke

“The reat sacrifice of achievement points to create a one-tiulsThe total expense of seven teleportation arrays amount to over a hundred achievement points!”

Sheyan asked curiously

“Storyline characters can also eed with achievement points?”

Reef answered

“That ite to a certain military rankIt is called 'Point Dimensionfold Tech-device'If a contestant employs it, he will return to the real all basic attributes of the contestantMoreover, all rewards and iteain in the world would be forfeited”

“However, storyline characters can likewise employ that tool, which will create a truly formidable one-time teleportation arrayI heard of a case recentlyIn one of the Terminator 1 storylines, storyline character Reese (John Connor's father) was supposed to dieHowever, a contestant utilized the iteravely wounded Reese to a hospital, as saved after an operationThat is how I aht now, I suddenly thought of it”

Sheyan frowned and spoke worriedly

“Let's not talk about thatThose guys have already ulTheir entrenchinable”

Reef pondered and replied

“Boss, I feel that you are overthinking thingsThe nightmare world is a crazy place but one filled with countless opportunitiesStill remember our perfor that accursed world, yet your answer to it caused the sovereign of that planet, fine, one of the sovereigns of the world, Eywa, to reach a coed to acquire friendshi+p with those Ringwraiths? Do those rotting creatures still possess brains?”

After listening to Reef, Sheyan's eyes abruptly flickered brightlyAfter a brief silence, he replied

“You are right! My friend, friendshi+p with both Ringwraiths and an Uruk-hai leader is an incredibly foolish idea, perhaps……uys aren't totally invulnerableLet us consider this frole! The perspective of cost!”

“Perspective of cost? I don't understand” Reef asked in puzzlement

Sheyan paused a little and answered

“Let's bethe process and to the outco aside whatever damn schemes they possess, let's consider the expense they poured into this wonderful deed”

“Firstly, they ul boss, nobody can cowraiths to assembleNext, based on your data, they wasted over a hundred achieve out seven 'Point Dimensionfold Tech-device'No contestant would partake in a losing businessHence, we can fundamentally affirm their profits would be uess where is the source of these profits?”

“ReputationSlaying those proures would undoubtedly inflate their reputation, providing thely arduous mission to take the heads of elite elves of the Middle-earth allianceOf course, the battle loots in this process as well”

Reef confidently laid out the options

Sheyan took a hurried breath before replying

“Yes, spot onBattle loots……I no their motive! The aly unis of power bestowed upon the elves!”

“The Elvish rings of powers, crafted with the sa, bestowed to the elven rulersNow of the three rings, the Narya in the hands of Gandalf, Vilya with Elrond, and the Ring of Water, Nenya, adorned by the great GaladrielIf they succeed in this a, will be acquired by the air

“They dare to conspire so audaciously?! Sie to slay Elrond and Galadriel, the eight Nazgul will definitely not allow thes!”

Sheyan earnestly continued

“Therefore, thewraiths is inevitable, that will be our chance!”

Speaking till here, Sheyan took a deep breath before resuh it sounds far-fetched, you just need to consider carefullyIf presented with this chance, ill be your choice?”

Reef hesitated a little and shook his head with a wry smile

“I too will scheht and pressed his hand on the groundHe carefully spectated the ongoing battle through the aquatic ained a luster of confidence, which burn with increasing passion

“We still have an opportunity in this battle, ain hed with depression

“Boss, but wanting to join a fight of this level, our coht…is truly too weak”

Sheyan sneered and answered

“Indeed, both parties are akin to ranite bouldersYet we are an insignificant brittle eggHowever, the boulders are about to collide! The elves won't be so easily defeated with two invincible divine rings protecting the can decide victory or defeat!”

With the eight synchronized Nazguls working alongside a terrifying archer, Lurtz, fleeing would not be a bright idea

Placed in such a situation, Galadriel raised her left ar twinkle flickered atop a finger like thestarIndeed, she activated a protection ability of the RIng of Water, Nenya

Instantly, an incorporeal barrier surged out from her and developed a squarish area of a few dozen square meters around herThe barrier fluctuated with a waruls

Naturally, the Nazguls wasn't willing to be repelled awayThey i swords to engage the barrier

Dark nefarious weapons clashed against the barrier of Nenya, instantly inciting out waves of ripplesAlthough the barrier appeared iuls see that the shi+eld would break one day

Galadriel turned to the ashen-faced Elrond and coldly adth now? The strongest of the three rings, VilyaLet those abominations of darkness receive Vilya's wrath”

Instead, Elrond offered a strange expression, which was an emotionless lookHe shook his head slowly and replied

“I can't”

Galadriel paused for a brief whileAs she was about to rage out, Elrond suddenly reown he wore, which caused Galadriel to be utter speechless

On his left chest, was a terrible devastating wound, caused by the iThe periphery of his wound was charred black, as though flaesCracks could be seen and the wound repeatedly diffused out a piercing h the wound possessed its own sentience as it continued drilling deep into Elrond's body!

A sparkle abruptly flashed in the depths of his woundWith the terribly deteriorated state of his wound, he had to bury the Vilya inside his wound; borrowing its ht to resist the powers of corruption!

Evidently, if Elrond dared to move the Vilya, he would perish!+

Chapter 813: Arrival of opportunity

Witnessing Elrond's horrifying wound, Elder Desirese Roots, as hidden with Sheyan, blurted out subconsciously

“That wound……shows the special characteristics of a strike by the Witch-King of Ang, will allow hithen hier the wound persists, the deadlier the wound becomes! Incurable by medicine or treat of Ang ability on foes, because the price of executing it is cruel – the sufferings of the inflicted will comar!”
