Chapter 826-849

Chapter 826: Open conspiracy

Melody's blessing had undergone significant strengthening The huge increase in resistance and probability effect aside,there was also an insane new ability – to reduce the da into account both the reduction and addition effects, they totalled up to a staggering difference of 50

Mysterious Elven runes rapidly for another divine art Every tree on thein resonance with Melody's chant

Elrond's face turned pale He's already on the path of no return If he ran away now, he would still die once the effect of the Splitting Spell ended

He would only have a chance to live if he stood his ground Retreating meant death If he stayed, even if he would be in a terribly disadvantageous position, there was still a chance for him to turn the situation around with his wits

Elrond continued to target Melody For Elrond, the Twilight Elf Melody reerous person there!

However, both Sheyan and Reef were in their peak conditions now Under the protection of the both of the Melody is very low In addition to that, Elrond was also plagued by disease

Elrond was still a faendary hero after all He had stood tall amidst the history of Middle Earth and had even laid down his hout his life that spanned millenium There's no way he would be that sih the situation was dire, it wasn't enough to bring him down!

He actually ain!

Elrond's move shocked even someone as shrewd as Sheyan That's because the price Elrond had to pay to do this was so that was second only to his life!

All divine equip of Air Vilya was ripped away by Sheyan, it naturally returned to Elrond But the current Elrond was (1) devoid ofof Air was one of the Three Elven Rings of Power, so it naturally required an Elven bloodline to use it

Strictly speaking, the powerful Ring of Air was nothing ht now

So, Elrond did soolas, Glorfindel, and all other Elves could only drea He wiped away his own soul i, Vilya, that was co that was forged for the Elven race released a strong vibration in the air!

The vibration of the ring reached the heart of every Elf on Middle Earth Even faraway Elves like Legolas, Glorfindel and Galadriel, the keeper of the Ring of Water, Nenya, could feel the strong sensation

The saht crept into theirof Air was removed? Has Elrond fallen?”

Out of all the Elves present, Melody was the strongest and had the purest soul She was also a Twilight Elf ere naturally powerful Naturally, she too could sense that Sire Vilya had lost its owner… Melody appeared very emotional She absent-mindedly reached out her hand to infuse her own soul i out of instinct

Itout of instinct without thinking It was like how a person would retract their hand when they touched the flame, or how the author of this story would instinctively bend down to tie his shoelaces when a girl in short skirt walked by, or how Edison Chen would instinctively look for a camera whenever he saw a beautiful wo/wiki/Edison_Chen_photo_scandal)

(ED: THE GOLDEN analOGIES!! They just keep getting better…)

In the history of China, even a royal seal would cause royalties and nobles to scrabbleof Air, Vilya was the central ring as of Power It's not only a symbol of status, it was also a source of power! Think of how important it was in the heart of every Elf

With no one stopping her, Melody caught the Ring of Air and successfully engraved her soul i flew onto her left ring finger

However, once Melody put on the Ring of Air, her face instantly turned pale She covered her head with her hands and slowly leaned against a stone beside herShe looked like a withering flower, sloilting away

Sheyan's pupils shrunk while Elrond burst out in laughter

“A neakened Twilight Elf like you dare to lay your dirty hands on h it had expended aly, you could consider it a testament to your ability that you weren't ialad gifted uponof Air, it took uidance”

“A weak Twilight Elf like you wished to understand how to control the ring without guidance? How long do you think it would take? Ten years? Twenty? Or a hundred? Oh, right You're even a follower of the Sun God, Sin'dorei Maybe in your next life then! Without the enlightenment bestowed by the Moon God, Luna, you will never find the correct path!”

As Sheyan looked at Melody whose face was pale and eyes were shut, he really hoped she would suddenly open her eyes and tell Elrond: 'I was Gil-galad in e of the world But from the look of it, it would remain his fantasy

Elrond now had the confidence to massacre everyone and take back his treasure Such as a testaained over thousands of years His na without reason!

Even Sheyan hi go of the ring That was one of the Rings of Power, yet Elrond could just throw it out nonchalantly as bait A plan like this could no longer be called a hidden conspiracy; it's an open conspiracy! You kneas a trap, yet your body couldn't help but ju doesn't add up,” Sheyan suddenly said in the party channel

“Elrond was so strong after he regained his ot close to one of the Elves, he could instantly drag the Elf aithout any resistance…but why didn't he finish you? Wouldn't things be a lot more convenient for him without someone like you in his way?”

Reef sounded perplexed as he replied

“Maybe he couldn't kill me? No, that can't be He killed Elder Desirese Roots who definitely had higher HP than I do!”

Sheyan said in a heavy tone

“Then there's only one explanation Elrond had prepared for thisthe flesh essences of his own kin to rebuild his Elven bloodline was definitely within his plan Therefore, he probably prepared a strong item or weapon for that purpose But that iteainst us”

They positioned the Elf as they communicated Unfortunately, Reef hadn't advanced into an Awakener yet If he had, be it the gravitational field of Zeus or Skull's ht now

Elrond once again charged towards Sheyan and Reef like a ghost Reef wasn't in a hurry to use 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' this ti to closely observe Elrond instead

This time, Elrond landed both his punches heavily on Reef's shi+eld Reef was instantly pushed away by the heavy force Elrond then twisted his body in a weird way and grabbed Sheyan's right wrist just as Sheyan was about to throw out a curse-htly and robbed Sheyan of the curse-mix

Sheyan immediately slashed back with determination His blade firmly struck Elrond's body Just as Sheyan was about to dish out another hit, an e white glow Sheyan's vision was covered by the white light!

The body of a contestant is a lot stronger than the body of a normal human A blind debuff like this would only last for 2-3 seconds on Sheyan As soon as the glow appeared, he had immediately shi+fted his head to the side and lashed out with his blade But his blade struck nothing but air!

His heart sank If Reef and Sheyan were the gate protecting the people behind theht now

Reef's 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' sounded fro tide A series of lights flashed on Elrond's body and once again negated the slowing effect from the roar Elrond was now less than 3distance!

Chapter 827: The Final Gamble

In this critical moment, Elrond sneezed despite hiest people on the continent, even if he was the Lord of Rivendell, even if he was the son of the hus

(T/N: Unlike what the author clai were actually both half-elves)

But right now, he's a human!

Any hu effect of the Pestilence Monarch!

Not only was the dreadful ability bugging Elrond as inevitable as fate itself, it was also as cruel as fate itself!

Elrond had already been hit by the effect once He even used up to 6fit but to no avail At the time, Elrond already had a bad premonition However, there weren't any outbursts afterwards, so Elrond put it down as a one-ti ti dor of his body caused his movement speed to fall sharply Reef immediately blocked his path and unleashed the for Elven ed the unconscious Melody and rolled behind Reef

Elrond's last-minute failure caused his face to turn ashen He unsheathed a longsword that had a notable Elven style and easily parried Reef's attack At the same time, he used the sheath to execute a block to his side Sheyan's '+7 West' i sparks to fly Sheyan even emstone However, the force from the block forced Sheyan back a few steps

Sheyan threw out a curse- Elrond wasn't able to stop hiic item to recover from the 15 second stun effect fro about the 25 reduction in reen sht shot towards Elrond It was the sly Franklin! Franklin used his staff to draw a circle in the air, and a sizzling ray of light shot out from the circle to burn Elrond's back

Sheyan and Reef finally gained the upper hand in this battle full of unpredictable difficulties They were visibly shaken still

It ic user, which ht with a e had even been injured to a certain extent and was far from his peak condition Yet the battle was still so unbelievably difficult!

After he saw the strange green smoke envelope an area of several hundred ritted his teeth and forced out his words

“This is the concocting s achoo to a foolish hu, even if Elrond had brandished his weapon, it was still really troublesoht both Sheyan and Reef in the curse-mix smoke Plus, he still had to be careful of the sickness that reat Elrond The Elrond who left his na forced into a corner, he still relied on his devilish speed, practiced battle technique and surprising fighting methods to firmly suppress Sheyan and Reef The two of them brushed shoulders with death multiple times in the short span of a few ain unleash the dark gold giant leech!

Sheyan had already used the leech once in his fight with Drubal, but Drubal was too busy running away to attack the leech After his extortion of Drubal, the leech was kept back in Sheyans possession in one piece Thus, the leech could still be used at the ly let it out

The 25 drop in ht not have affected Elrond iant leech is another h it's attack eak, it had a sturdy body and its attack had a large area of effect Its debuffs were also really annoying for the eneot careless for a moment, and Sheyan and Reef latched on to the chance to land their attacks Sheyan's blade was strong, but Reef's claas also pretty fierce The claw struck Elrond's right thigh heavily and tore open a large wound!

If Elrond had coincidentally coughed or shi+vered at the

More ie before this, he was alerted by the changes on Vilya's seal on Melody before he could absorb the life essence of the Elf He forcefully broke off the ritual and hadn't ed to recover any of his HP

After the series of fierce battle, Elrond now had less than 50 of his HP re On the other hand, Reef and Sheyan could share the das on them Their HPs were sustained above 80 the whole time Besides that, there were also Franklin and the sole ree They were both forces to be reckoned with!

As soon as the dark gold leech appeared, it became the straw that broke the camel's back The scale of victory started to tip towards Sheyan's side

Under such circumstances, Elrond quickly retreated outside the poisonous smoke Determination flashed in his eyes as he produced a scroll fro with a bright lustre, giving it the luxurious feel of an antique treasure Elrond looked at the group in front of him with venom in eyes If it wasn't for Sheyan's interference, he would have already started the rebuilding process of his Elven bloodline by now Instead, he's still struggling for his life here

Sheyan and Reef's hearts both tightened when they saw Elrond's action A scroll that he had kept up to noould definitely be his last amble!

Elrond obviously believed that the scroll would let him make a comeback If Sheyan and co could overco victory by the throat If they couldn't, then all their efforts will go to waste!

With a solemn face, Elrond held the scroll in both hands and chanted earnestly:

“O power of the sprout Please awaken Honour the agreement fromy wish”

“Wake up, the ruler of all trees, the tyrant of roots Man-Eating Devil Tree, Harlech!”

“Refuse onise within the fire of hell for a thousand years!”

Throughout the whole chanting process, both Franklin and the Elven e had continuously released a torrent of offensive spells towards Elrond However, every tie of a yellow leaf would appear to block the spell

Elrond had nodefensive ability must co, an indescribable pressure leisurely spread out fro forest The trees it touched released mournful howls and shook their roots Then, they stood up froed each other

The trees in the Misty Mountains were at least 50 years old Even if they did groer in cold cliers to hug theether; the sounds of branches snapping could occasionally be heard The biggest change came in the leaves of these trees The surface of the leaves started transfor into a pattern that looked like the scales of snakes!

Finally, hundreds of trees wove thenificent Ent The Ent was covered in a snake-like pattern Tentacle-like vines forave out an indescribably evil feeling

The Ent was a devastating Devil Tree killed by Elrond'sthe continent She sealed its soul inside a scroll and gave it to Elrond for hi at the size of the Ent made Sheyan and Reef feel helpless They were further intiin with – Ferrell, for exa – but compared to Harlech, Ferrell was like a kid that could only reach Harlech's thigh!

Suddenly, Reef and Sheyan felt a warm sensation on the skin on their back They turned around and sahirlpool-shaped hole within the clouds A ray of sunlight shi+ned down from the hole to envelope Melody The whole scene looked incoe couldn't help kneeling down in tears, looking extremely emotional

Melody floated up into the air with her eyes still closed The strong sunlight produced bits of glimmer that wrapped themselves protectively around her body Sheyan noticed that the Ring of Air, Vilya was glowing brilliantly on her finger

Chapter 828: The Fall of Elrond

“The eternal sun will guide our way, to keep us frouide our way, to keep our future bright”

“The eternal sun will guide our way, let its light cleanse away all evil”

“The eternal sun will guide our way, to keep our ot louder with each verse she chanted, and the sunlight shone brighter The sunlight looked as if it was converging around her!

With each chant, the body of the terrifying Devil Tree, Harlech would shake violently, and a burst of flarief as the hidden card left by his mother howled and shuddered With Melody's 4th verse, Harlech was turned into as probably the world's largest torch, burning fiercely!

Even Elrond hi out smoke Soon, a few tiny embers even appeared on his body!

Melody dropped back to the ground soon after, looking rather pale Blood dripped out of her lips However, the persistent sunlight still pierced the clouds to blanket her protectively

Melody's actions had completely destroyed Elrond's sense of rationality! Elrond wailed in despair He didn't even wait to extinguish the flaroup His eyes were bloodshot and he looked to be totally devoid of reason Facing an Elrond who had co he had in attack put Sheyan and Reef under iht neared its conclusion, Elrond old leech That was a testa was that he still had quite a few hout the battle The faint green glow of Rejuvenation spells would occasionally appear on his body Sheyan and Reef could only persistently hang on

Fortunately, they both had the Twilight Elf's blessing on the once she saw that the situation was dire with the two, and used her MP to relentlessly cast healing spells on them

After 15 minutes, Reef's life once fell into a critical state and the 'Life-Link' was activated Sheyan risked a stab by Elrond on his chest and grabbed onto Elrond's weapon with both hands!

Seizing this opportunity, Melody once again stood up with difficulty!

She had barely recovered soht, the green glow eolden characters They were divine ancient Elven runes! 3 divine characters co javelin, and abruptly shot forward!

That was Melody's advanced ability:

Scorching Dictum!

The javelin did not look like it possess a lot of speed, but as it tore through the air, it left behind a blinding trail of flame The fire on the javelin itself looked evenand would occasionally for beast!

Everyone there held their breath as if the surrounding air had been sucked away A scorching heat wave assaulted the Dictum stabbed into Elrond's chest, and melted away into his body as if it was absorbed by him

Elrond was frozen in place He looked down at his chest in disbelief as the defensive ic items on his body went off one after another like fireworks Next, his whole body lit up into a conflagration with him at the centre

The next second, Elrond floated up into the air He released a long wail that contained sadness, pain, despair, relief… in short, all kinds of eether He then started to crumble into ashes bit by bit, which dispersed into the surrounding This marked the moment Elrond disappeared from this world!

A few rainbow-coloured crystals dropped down froround after unleashi+ng the Scorching Dictum She fell into unconsciousness while blood continuously flowed out fro up her clothes The Elven e immediately rushed forward to take care of her

At the same time, the trio of Sheyan, Reef and Franklin received a series of notifications:

[You have killed a famous storyline hero of Middle Earth, Elrond Idril]

(ED: Idril was the daughter of Turgon, King of Gondolin, and the randmother, it isn't Elrond's actual family name in the LOTR world)

[You obtained 2311 Fate points of the Dark Lord faction]

[You obtained the mysterious item : Elven Illusion Bone Crystals]

[You have obtained the relevant qualification Please remember to visit the outpost of the Gray Dwarves at the outer border of Angmar on time]

[Because Elrond Idril died under a special circumstance and an event character participated in the attack, the grade of the key dropped by Elrond will be lowered correspondingly]

[Contestant no 1018, your Elven lover, Melody Sunstrider also participated in the attack on Elrond and even obtained an extre of Air, Vilya Therefore, Elrond will not drop a key unless you cut all ties with Melody Sunstrider]

[Contestant no 1018, due to your party prestige being Silver, you will obtain soet 3 chances to randos Elrond left behind The scope of the draill be li If you add contestant no 90 to your party, he will also obtain the chance to draw]

Seeing the notifications, Sheyan could understand why the realm made that kind of decisions Melody, as his Elven lover, had already obtained the biggest reward – beco of Air! That hy the reward of the party was limited, or else the key dropped by Elrond would have a chance of drawing another Ring of Air That's just way too much

Sheyan took a look at the unknown mysterious items – the Elven Illusion Bone Crystals The item description was pretty decent:

[This is the bone crystal left by High Elves after their deaths A lot of people from the Dark Lord's side are interested in this item]

Seems to be a trade item then

Of course there's no way Sheyan would be so short sighted and cut all ties with Melody It's not like he could bear to do it anyway He could only sigh and throw out a party invitation to Franklin Next, he went to check on Melody's condition After confir that her injuries weren't fatal and she was merely unconscious, he finally prepared himself to loot Elrond

Franklin was honestly not that happy after receiving the party invitation That's because Sheyan only gave him a reserve party member spot The calculative fella was hurt at the way Sheyan treated a coether with hies in his HP and MP, he was shocked speechless Next, he ashed over by a feeling of immense joy! He stared at the party skill 'Glory Heal' that the reserve members couldn't use in anticipation

Noas tienerosity of the real each party member 3 draws, 'abundant' would be an understates contained in Elrond's bag There should be soood stuff in there…but there would definitely be a lothe drew, not knohether to laugh or to cry They were a pair of socks The socks oven in an intricate pattern and had a grand and luxurious Elvish feel

But that's not the point The point was, this thing that wasdescription:

[This is a pair of socks woven with Ice Cicada threads The corandmaster Siclair They are a work of art This series of socks had remained the sole choice for Elrond for 300 years…]

In the end, the hint given orth 150 utility points

When he saw the last sentence, Sheyan who had been forcing hihed up blood It's fortunate there wasn't a (Dirty) behind the socks' name or he really would have broken down

Under Sheyan's prior exa et Elrond's underwear He certainly didn't expect to draw a black cloak

[The Lost Cloak]

[Grade: Black]

[World Origin: Lord of the Rings]

[Requireility]

[Durability: 55/55]

[Material: Silk, Mithril thread, strong spider thread]

[Effect 1: Physique +3, Agility +2]

[Effect 2: Alchee rate by 15]

[Effect 3: The cloak contains a ical enchantment Whenever you receive an attack, there is a sical barrier that can absorb 30 points of dae]

[Properties: The Lost Cloak will lower your accuracy by 10]

[Description: This is an iteed to a person who used to be the o]

Franklin shrugged and handed the cloak to Reef without saying anything That was the rule of almost every party with an MT The MT had absolute priority over any equipment with defensive properties Only after the MT passed on the equipment could it land in the hands of other party members

Chapter 829: The Scary Allies

In the next few minutes, the three of thee that Elven nobilities brought with theot besides the black cloak was a whole bunch of garbage that had a distinct Elvish flavour In total, they orth less than 10,000 utility points

Sheyan cal the final draw He went over to the unconscious Melody and stole a kiss for luck The kiss seeood fortune indeed, as his last draw produced an eave off a cool feeling and nificant effort froed to identify the leaf It was a ic seal on it The seal needed to be removed before they can observe the leaf's properties

The seal wasn't a strong one; it was only put in place to prevent accidental use of the leaf However, the MP of the e had been completely expended, so it would have to wait

Melody was still unconscious, so Sheyan carried her The group uidance of the Elven i for them there

It wasn't the first time Sheyan had Melody in his embrace; they've had some pretty intimate encounters after all Melody was quite slim and her body was actually pretty small except for her chest

But when Sheyan carried her this tith and he was even sweating He was already out of breath after cli over 2 hills

Sheyan felt as if he wasn't carrying Melody, but was carrying atold Sheyan that ittired, his legs never stopped ed to maintain a decent pace

The journey was pretty uneventful so Sheyan once again enquired about the situation on the battlefield

The Elven e told them what happened after Sheyan detonated the boreen that was forcefully matured had an unstable foundation, so the defense of the Elven heroes naturally collapsed too But Galadriel ûl into the avalanche with her spell

Galadriel, Glorfindel and Legolas seized the chance to spread out and escape The reûl had no choice but to break up to chase after each of them Elrond was prepared for this moment After his other half self-destructed, he tore a valuable scroll to turn invisible and vanished into thin air

Reef and the rest of the Elves rushed towards Melody with Elder Desirese Roots leading the way Ferrell fell while holding a Nazgûl back Fortunately, the destroyed Ferrell wasn't Ferrell's real body It took a huge toll on him, but he could still be reborn under the Sacred Oak

They fled for a short distance after rescuing Melody, but Elrond caught up to them and activated the seal that he had prepared beforehand The killings ensued

After Sheyan heard all this, he hastened his pace That's because he knew that even if Galadriel, Glorfindel and Legolas were chased by 2 Nazgûl each, the encircle wouldn't be a probleûl had no chance to kill them

And this was exactly what Sheyan was afraid of! Sometimes, your “allies” are scarier than your enemies!

Suddenly, Franklin spoke out

“Er that I need to tell you about”

It seemed like Franklin wasn't that observant He's already a reserve ured out who the real decision h It was alhest authority in a party would be the one holding the shi+eld Furtherold shi+eld really stood out

Reef release an abashed cough and asked

“What is it?”

Franklin replied

“When we left the place where Elrond was killed, I laid down soic traps They weren't the type of traps that will cause daation A o, my trap was destroyed”

Reef asked in a heavy tone

“Do you knoho did it?”

Franklin replied

“I couldn't see his face, but I have an ie of his back”

Franklin then took out his staff and drew a circle in the air The circle then projected an i an Illusionist – information can be directly portrayed

All of thee The figure was tall and muscular Unlike the breath of death on Elrond, every inch of the person's body exuded life Theblonde hair!

“It's Glorfindel,” said the Elven e solemnly

The name itself caused everyone's breath to becouy wouldn't be as easy to deal with as Elrond!

Honestly speaking, even if Melody returned to her peak condition and all the Elves Elrond killed were revived, they still wouldn't be a match for the powerful and ambitious Glorfindel Think back to the extreme difficulty Elrond posed them even after his bloodline was split in half, and he had to fight physically despite being a e! They had almost lost to that Elrond!

How could they handle Glorfindel when he was at full strength?

Franklin tried to lighten the

“Hey, at least we left some false trails before we left He definitely can't find us”

However, the Elven o, after the fall of the top hunter of Rivendell, Jose Caca, a lot of people already felt that Glorfindel should inherit this title I recall that one time when Lord Elrond's beloved flower lark fleay froe After Glorfindel heard about this the next day, he caught the lark, and brought it back, within 2 hours I was the one who forgot to lock the cage after feeding the bird, so I clearly remember it”

The whole party was blanketed by a heavy atmosphere, but Sheyan who had reached the top of a hill s for one and a half hours, he could finally see the rendezvous point The terrain of the place was rather unique and looked like the two huroup found that their destination ithin sight, they burst forith renewed vigor The thought of their terrifying pursuer spurred theimli and Elder Annenia Cyathea They indeed looked very anxious They were pacing back and forth like ants on a frying pan

After discovering the group, Segi The elite Dwarven warriors he led also tossed their caps into the air That was the highest show of respect a Dwarf could give

On the other hand, Elder Annenia Cyathea was absolutely shocked He was stunned for a moment, looked around, and asked

“Is… is this all that's left of your group?”

Sheyan nodded

“That's right”

Elder Annenia Cyathea couldn't believe it

“What about Desirese Roots and Annil Yusu? They're both dead?”

The fee was already in tears, and told him

“They were consumed by Lord Elrond”

Elder Annenia Cyathea was shocked speechless His eyes fell on Melody – er! He stae voice

“Sin'dorei above!!! Are er look so familiar?”

Sheyan simply said

“Of course it would look familiar to you You must have seen it before on Elrond's hand”

Elder Annenia Cyathea helplessly spread his hands and said with a shaky voice:

“That's impossible! Even if Lord Elrond had passed away, his soul i of Air for a hundred years! Is Sire Vilya being used to seal and curse Lady Melody's power? No, that's not right The feeling it gave out was in harmony with Lady Melody, as if they were one!”

Sheyan couldn't be bothered explaining too uides our way, so there is nothing we couldn't do By the way, my Dwarven friends, have you done the favour I asked of you?”

Segio Please do not doubt the reputation of the Dwarves It is as reliable as a boulder!”

Following Segie piece of flatland behind them This would be another tru

As if the setting sun in the western sky wanted to display its last bit of glory for the day before falling into slu heat

The flatland looked as if it shone with asun A total of 67 expensive geround in a circle Within an area of 10 squareMithril threads, Firegold frag stones, hydroether into a ram via mysterious ram When a person looked at it, they would find their vision being distorted

One must admit that the Dwarves truly had a natural talent in construction If it were the huical formation, they would need at least 6 months and double the aimli and less than 40 Dwarves a total of 5 hours to complete the teleportation formation Of course, Elder Annenia Cyathea and the other 4 Elven e part in this too with their continuous infusion of imli as he inspected the one-way teleportation formation at Sheyan's side “The treasures that lie here are enough to buy a whole human city Yet you used them to build a one-way teleportation circle that can only be used once! My dear Seaman, even if you're so rich that the devils would be jealous of you, I e waste!”

Sheyan looked back at the dense forest covering the mountains behind them, and smiled

“Oh, s are valuable, yes, but that means that their values can be e for the invaluable lives of everyone here, that's great business in my book!”

As Sheyan said this, he could already feel a strong presence froreed and doimli close and asked

“You did i the skills of the Dwarves!”

Sheyan laughingly said

“If that's the case, can you disguise the formation so that after we've used it, it would appear to be usable still? Then, the person who sees this will step into the for to be a sive hiimli frowned and said

“That's not hard, but it will increase the cost”

Sheyan decisively said

“Leave that for me to worry about, my friend Also, it's important that you finish the job within a short period of tiimli still frowned and said

“I'll need to add another energy stone, and I also need the help froic pattern Are you sure there's a need to do this?”

“Do it We don't have much time left,” said Sheyan firmly Then, he turned to Franklin and said, “Mr Franklin, I believe youthe way Tell me, how far away is he?”

Franklin honestly told Sheyan

“At his current pace, he will reach us in about 30 ical detection traps to iive you only 20 minutes then I look forward to your work”

While they aiting for the re, Elder Annenia Cyathea walked over to Melody to inspect her condition He could feel that the energies inside Melody were in a very coht Elf, the energy of Sin'dorei, and the energy fro to unravel a bunched up ball of thread is enough to ine if there were 3 balls of threads bunched up together!

The main cause of this was still due to Melody forcefully used her poice after signing the soul contract with Vilya

Signing a soul contract with Vilya was a enius like Elrond had to recuperate for a period of tiuidance of the previous master of Vilya And it still took hi!

Melody was a follower of the Sun God Sin'dorei to begin with, and secondly, she used her power recklessly right after obtaining the ring Even if Elrond and the High King of the Noldor, Gil-galad both came back to life, they wouldn't be able to help her now

The only good neas that, according to Elder Annenia Cyathea, Melody's life was in no danger So between the powers in her wouldn't happen The powers in her body ht repel each other and cancel each other out, thus weakening her strength, but they wouldn't devour her

Sheyan then took out the leaf froe instantly asked in surprise

“Isn't this the leaf of the Sacred Oak that Lord Elrond's ht back from across the sea?”

She easily dispelled the seal on the leaf with a wave of the hand A fresh aroma instantly filled the air She then placed the leaf back in Sheyan's hand

[Evergreen Leaf of the Sacred Oak]

[Grade: Silver storyline]

[Description: This is a leaf plucked by Elwing froreat tree of Teldrassil She gave it to her son as a birthday present It was so very important to Elrond]

(ED: Teldrassil is the hoht Elves in WoW)

Sheyan felt that the leaf was very useful indeed It gave Sheyan an active healing ability 450 – 600 points of HP nificant forthe ability was pretty high Sheyan o bankrupt

By this ti work The size of the teleport forlow In order to , the Dwarves had even built so benches to the side

Franklin told Sheyan that Glorfindel was already pretty close at the ht have found his way here by following the traps left by Franklin In other words, if Franklin hadn't left those traps as a precaution, Glorfindel er

But that's no longer iimli to activate the teleport forht in the centre one after another Each of them were transported to the predetermined destination after 2-3 seconds

Sheyan was the last to step into the foriey will continue being provided to the formation

To make sure Glorfindel would fall for the trick, they actually perfected the weaknesses and gaps in thispoint at the destination That was the change that would be the hardest for hieht white glow of the teleportation e A large nu around the radiance in circles That's right, the golden glow caht Elf He had indeed chased theet was obvious – the sy of Air, Vilya!

Chapter 831: Counter Attack

No doubt, Glorfindel had also seen the brilliant light from when Sheyan was teleported out His expression turned dark Without so er, he appeared to vanish into thin air When he reappeared, he had already moved forward by more than 200 meters It took him less than 10 seconds to reach the teleportation forht Elf was indeed experienced He first took a look at the surrounding area, then shouted

“Your eyes shall be mine; your ears shall be mine!”

“Heed s to follow the trail of the enelili birds

All the birds surrounding Glorfindel scattered in different directions at a wave of his hand

Everything that the birds see and hear will be instantly transe were useless in front of this spell

The sly old fox was obviously wary of being tricked He suspected that Sheyan h the teleportation forive chase, while the rest of them ran away

He didn't believe that a teleportation for up here for no reason The cost to build this for This spot wasn't on an iic defensive location There were no forts, e towers or any famous products nearby The existence of the formation was definitely suspicious

“This teleportation formation must be a smokescreen It's merely a counterfeit”

That was Glorfindel's first thought when he saw the forht was that the formation was actually built pretty well

Glorfindel believed that the faeries of the forest will sent back a satisfactory response within the next fewants this time He couldn't help but burn with anticipation

However, as the birds sent their feedback one after another, the ot This was the first ti down

Glorfindel once again focused his attention of the teleportation formation To his surprise, he found that the all the expensive materials that made up the formation looked very authentic More iic power, he could detect the clear traces of diic!

Glorfindel was filled with co e of Air, Vilya! He wasn't worried about those ants running away; he was olas!

It was exactly because of hoeak the ants were that he orried If either of those two found the of Air would fall into their hands Even though Glorfindel was strong, there was still no way he could snatch the ring froolas

Glorfindel stared at the eemstone at the core of the formation Then, he took a deep breath and stepped inside Little did he know that somewhere a few hundred kilohing

“It lit up! Glorfindel activated the ic formation!”

“Would he let an animal test the formation first?”

“It didn't matter, let the animal be sacrificed then After the formation was used once, its internal structure will malfunction and explode Glorfindel won't be able to use the for teleportation fore of Glorfindel appeared within the for

Segimli pounded his warhammer hard on a certainteleportation for violently Then, the whole fore within the fore, Mr Glorfindel I hope you like the taste of of the water in Lake Salgar!” Segi Dwarf had put his outstanding talent in construction on display What he did was siiar thousands of ar was a horrible place In the local language, Salgar actually meant rotten smell It was a place that was similar to the Great Ndipaya Swa the teleportation coordinate like this ht result in space-ti lost in time and other risks, but that's Glorfindel's probleimli proudly exclaimed

“My dear friend, I have completed your request I swear upon the naht Elves, Glorfindel will still have to experience hunger, cold and a rotten environment for 10 days before he can catch up to us At least”

Sheyan smiled and said

“To show reed upon by 10”

Sheyan reached into his pocket and took out a siimli was all smiles as he received it He was about to keep the pouch when an old but strong-looking Dwarf took the pouch away frohed it in his hands In the end, he let out a satisfied sh Adaoods At least on't be left too far behind at the Skifz Ascûd now”

After the elite Dwarven warriors heard the old Dwarf's words, they erupted in joy They once again threw their hats in the air

The old Dwarf looked at Sheyan and said in a booood will of the Giee in our tribe? As soon as news of Elrond's deer be so easy for you to find a welcoh, smiled and said

“Since Glorfindel has left us with so much time to prepare, it would be a waste not to use it to its fullest I sincerely thank you for your invitation However, our destination now shouldn't be the welco Gimli tribe…but Rivendell”

“WHAT!!”

All of them were extremely shocked to hear Sheyan's words

Elder Annenia Cyathea was the first to voice out his doubt

“Lord Protector, this o to Rivendell”

Sheyan silint flashed across his eyes

“I disagree, Elder This is the perfect tio to Rivendell Please take a look at the map With Rivendell as the centre, the place that was attacked by the coalition of 8 Nazgûls…yup, that's right, the Noorie Ridges is about 900 km to the west of Rivendell Thanks to the teleportation formation, we've travelled over 800 km in the blink of an eye We've already reached the Nos Hills west of Rivendell If we pick up the pace, we can reach Rivendell by olas are both being chased by Nazgûls Glorfindel is on vacation at the beautiful Lake Salgar Elrond has returned to the embrace of Mother Nature Under such circumstances, none of these formidable Elves can reach Rivendell before us That means, when our very own Melody Sunstrider walk into Rivendell with The Ring of Air raised high, she would be the one holding the highest position! No one currently in Rivendell has enough power to contest her authority! More Elves will bathe in the glory of Sin'dorei!”

Elder Annenia Cyathea sucked in a cold breath despite hi is…”

Sheyan said pointedly

“We're sier can we stand on an even footing with those powerhouses There's a saying in s that you don't have the power to obtain on the battlefield, don't expect to get theree with you, my Protector”

Melody suddenly spoke out in a soft but resolute voice No one noticed when she regained her consciousness She looked weak, but her eyes showed a strong deter hair, it glowed brilliantly

“During s I still had hope and faith in my kin at that time Fortunately, Galadriel, Lord Elrond, Lord Glorfindel and Prince Legolas taughtof justice I nohat the true elegance of the Elves look like”

Melody's voice choked with emotions and tears dropped from her eyes as she spoke, but she resolutely continued

“When I heard of their decision, I finally understood the truth regarding the world So be it then I will survive with my oay I will take destiny into thened Pestilence Monarch

The sun gradually fell below the horizon and took back its war unexpected happened after that Melody's condition worsened after the sun set, and fell into a semi-conscious state

She leaned on Sheyan with her eyes closed, her pale skin looking soft and gentleShe tightly held onto her Protector's arm with a smile on her face Only the occasional creases that appeared between her brows betrayed the pain she was in

The others exchanged lances There were definitely some followers of Elrond and Glorfindel in Rivendell still Without Melody leading theless They know that casually striding into Rivendell would only result in their capture

They concentrated their gazes on Sheyan as Sheyan had unknowingly becoht for a moment and said

“Sire Vilya was created for the purpose of protecting the Elves Even though Lady Sunstrider has to go through so, it definitely wouldn't curse her or harm her life”

Sheyan continued

“Let us depart first and find a place near Rivendell to rest for the night To, ill send so sure the coast is clear, we'll escort Lady Melody in Our biggest worries now should be Legolas and Galadriel, but they surely hadn't received any news yet, so they wouldn't suddenly travel 800 kht have been delayed but there's still not ”

Sheyan's words were reasonable The rest nodded their heads in agreement About 3 hours later, they reached the foot of a hill that was situated less than 10 kht be found by Rivendell's scouting party

Under the spells of the Elves, the proud trees bent down their bodies and weaved themselves into wooden houses The fishes in the river voluntarily jumped onto the bank The bushes parted themselves to reveal a piece of dry land A short while later, bonfires rose on the clearing

They knew Melody would want to spend some time with Sheyan, so they built a separate house for the both of them The house was situated a bit of a distance away froh that they can still rush over if anything were to happen

The dancing fire spread a co couple For Melody's comfort, Sheyan actually lit 2 fires around thes crackled while they burned The save rise to hints of blushes on Melody, accentuating her beauty Her thin body felt so frail in Sheyan's arrance, but now she e aroma The aroma was akin to the crisp s Melody gave Sheyan the feeling of basking in an early summer sun It htened his embrace, buried his face in Melody's thin shoulder, and took a deep breath He then said

“It's a nice feeling, hugging you”

Melody s body of her Protector, breathing in the distinct set all her worries and pain She slowly rested her head on his shoulder, and sang

The noises in the surrounding so started The voices of conversations, the crackling of the twigs in the fires, the boiling noises from the pot – they were all silenced

The only sounds that answered the song back were the cries of insects in the forest, the rustling of branches as they swayed in the wind, and the burbling of rivers as they flow The song had no name, but anyone who heard it would only think of one word – nature

“That's the voice of an angel,” exclai for the first ti a kind of root that looked like sweet potato in the fire, but lost himself in Melody's voice and had burned the root before he realised it The burn was so bad that end of the stick he was using to hold the root lit up in fla Elder Annenia Cyathea, closed their eyes and listened to the song attentively The song seenificance for theer reaction Soe round and wailed The imli He tried hard to hold hirabbed his battle axe, and screae!”

Sheyan couldn't help hihed loudly

“Such unique taste! His puppy love was for his aunt!”

But Sheyan quickly shut hisDwarfs would fue when they found out that their infatuations were exposed

Sheyan, too, gradually indulged himself in Melody's voice and fell into a trance He only woke up from the daze after Melody had finished her last note Sheyan was about to say so when pain struck his chest He felt as if there was a sroan despite hirabbed his chest

Melody looked at hiave hiht travelled down Sheyan's throat The ball of light left an indescribable trail of heat all the way to Sheyan's chest

Sheyan suddenly felt an itch in his throat He instantly pushed Melody away and vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood The blood was black in colour and had soh Sheyan's body felt weak after throwing up, he felt relieved and his mind felt clear, as if he had slept for 24 hours

Sheyan was about to comfort Melody, who looked really worried, when he received notifications fro of a Twilight Elf Due to the affinity of the Twilight Elves with plants, the Stairway of the Sun grew lively All the activated abilities of the Pestilence Monarch will have their levels temporarily increased There will not be any crucial options acco this boost Duration: 120 ht Love from Melody Sunstrider The Stairway of the Sun in your body basked in the glory of the scorching sun The hidden negative effects were removed The duration of the teed to a week]

[Hint: If you can repeatedly get help from Melody Sunstrider, the boost may become permanent]

The tyrannical 'Pestilence Monarch' was entleness!

Of course, Sheyan wouldn't iive him more, more! But he already had a er He was even prepared to give up on soains in order to do so

As tiuessed right Vilya was created to protect the Elves, not to curse the Elves Despite there being some friction with the powers in her, it wouldn't cause her bodily harm

When the first ray of dusk touched upon Melody's body, she could already stand up by herself She still couldn't use any strong spells but at least she's not half unconscious any hair swayed under the sun She raised her hand high, with Vilya glowing brightly on her finger, and pointed to the east towards Rivendell!

“Let's go! The light of Sin'dorei shall shi+ne upon Rivendell!”

But first, they took a detour to the Sacred Oak, Sindalor She asked everyone else to stay put, then approached the tree with Sheyan

Sindalor was as lush with life as usual and cut an iot near, he already spoke in a low muffled voice

“I could sense that your aura is unusually weak It was almost as weak as the first time I met you What befell you, follower of Sin'dorei?”

Despite what he said, Melody was in high spirit She extended her hand with s her hand for her subject to kiss

“Through the guidance of Sin'dorei and the help of randpa Sindalor, I need your help”

Chapter 833: New City

The afternoon sun shone bright as Melody strode forward sloith a sloith life on her slim, fair hand Her steps had a unique rhyth from the mountains, and the sway of the trees

As a Sunstrider, Melody was naturally absorbing the light and energy fro of Air, Vilya didn't see back sunlight like a mirror

This wasn't actually a desirable effect, but for Melody as about toradiance would draw attention to the Ring of Air on her hand!

Even the aged and wise Sacred Oak was stunned Its leaves rustled loudly in the wind, and it spoke in a shocked tone

“That's…that's i of Air should not have signed a soul contract with you!”

No one could have i Vilya Not Sheyan, not even Melody herself! But that's fate Fate was great, fate was , all because of its unpredictability

Melody er in response to Sindalor's questioning Suddenly, the surface of Vilya emitted a continuous stream of shapeless ripples When the ripples touched the air, they created wind When the ripples touched water, they created waves When the ripples touched the earth, they created thunder!

Sindalor watched all this with a sigh Only he knehether he was sighing at hisat the cruelness of fate He reain

“Fine, great Twilight Elf What can I do for you?”

Melody secretly heaved a sigh of relief The perfor she had!

The 2 previousof Air were both followers of the Moon Goddess Elune Naturally, they used the divine power of the Moon Goddess to activate the power of the ring Melody, however, was a follower of the Sun God Using the power of Sin'dorei to activate Vilya was a first for her and for the whole Elven race

Fortunately, perhaps due to there being few followers of Sin'dorei, the Sun God see to help It was akin to how each student in a class of 10 would get more attention from their teacher compared to the students in a class of 100

Take the ability Melody just showed for example That was the onlyof Air, called 'Natural Resonance' It was si pose in ht

But, so what? The i Vilya, the fores of Power, and she could even resonate with nature They don't have to know that it was the only thing she could do with the ring!

Melody sreat Oak

“I cannot just walk into Rivendell nonchalantly I hope I can walk in with glory”

Sindalor said in that lowSire Vilya in your possession not glorious enough?”

Sheyan chose to answer instead

“It is a great glory, but the glory is too thin Mortals care more about outward appearances Vanity is a deadly sin, but a lot of tiht appearance”

Sindalor gave it soht and said

“I understand My nephew, Ferrell has soht yet, but he could let little miss Melody ride on him ”

Sheyan instead asked sharply

“Respected Lord Sindalor, can you tellover Rivendell, instead of staying inside the city itself to receive the adoration and care of the Elves there?”

The Sacred Oak turned silent Seemed like Sheyan hit a sore spot There was already a sacred tree called Noelier in Rivendell Each city could only have one Mother Tree, that was the truth The reason Sindalor moved here in the past was because Noelier was close to wilting at the tiht that it would be the chance to take Noelier's place

Unfortunately, Lord Elrond invited his father over to save Noelier, and he did Sindalor could only keep waiting in disappointment It had waited for over 400 years!

Even for a Sacred Oak, 400 years is a long tier, in order to surpass the shackles of the lifeform of a tree, it had to become a Mother Tree

The reason Teldrassil was called the foundation of the world was because it was the Mother Tree of the Undying Lands! It received the care of nureat Elves everyday!

Sheyan told Sindalor honestly

“We need Melody to rand entrance If we only wanted Ferrell, ouldn't have put in all this effort”

Sindalor kept his silence so Sheyan threw out his ultier acco of Air But, who cares? Rivendell has existed for way too long in the Misty Mountains A new city belonging to Lady Melody Sunstrider will rise!”

“As for you, the great Sacred Oak Sindalor, you will take root at the centre of that city The nuht of Sin'dorei in Rivendell today depends on your decision You must know, the more Elves there are in a city, the more they can provide to the Mother Tree!”

It was all left on the table Sindalor heaved out a long sigh, then the ground started shaking! Sindalor's long roots plucked themselves out fro with a holy light Next, white floith red inner petals bloo area

The Sacred Oak, Sindalor coe Ent On its shoulder was a seat rab Melody before gently putting her on the seat

Melody insisted on having Sheyan sitting next to her but Sheyan refused He followed after Sindalor with large steps while looking upon Melody's back Melody cut a holy figure on the Sacred Oak It h of relief

There were a lot of co the way, some of thes returned within his control in the end In fact, it turned out even better than what he had hoped for

When the great battle Ent carried Melody into Rivendell, it gave everyone there a scare!

Some Elves wanted to voice out their objections, but they were silenced by the sight of the Ring of Air on Melody's finger The light it reflected pained their eyes!

Melody called for a , she told everyone of all the injustice and hardshi+ps she suffered

On the day the Elves caarnered sympathy from some of the Elves who had a neutral stance Now that she told the Elves her story while Franklin created a perfect reproduction with his illusions, it won her even , Melody shouted the slogan for the glory of Sin'dorei At first, only a feered her call, but in the end, the shouts from the Elves pierced the heavens The Elves were a race full of emotions, and their actions were easily influenced by their feelings

More crucially, for most of the Elves in Rivendell, Vilya was a sy as the leader, and they recognised her justice!

The result was unbelievable At least half of Rivendell illing to follow the Sun God! Under the lead of Melody, they charged into Elrond's and Glorfindel's residences, and collected all the wealth amassed by Rivendell over thousands of years! Sheyan's explanation was that the wealth originally belonged to thes and left Rivendell under the lead of Melody, full of hope and unease for the unknown future

The procession moved in the direction of the orc city deserted by Saruman!

Chapter 834: Counterstrike

Glorfindel returned ier, cold and a rotten environment for at least 10 days before he could catch up, but he forgot that all Elves were clean freaks There was just no way Glorfindel could rest in that kind of environment

Glorfindel forced hiht until he walked out of the territory of Lake Salgar He then slept for a whole day before rushi+ng back

He was in such a hurry, not because he could predict that Melody would seduce away a large number of Elves froolas and Galadriel would seize the opportunity of Elrond's death to persuade the stronger Elders in Rivendell to leave

He knew that's what Galadriel and Legolas would do because if he was in their shoes, he would do the sa of Air, Vilya had protected Rivendell for millenia As soon as the Elves found out that they had lost Vilya, it would becoe crisis But chaos is a ladder; the crisis would present a great opportunity to rope in so personnel

Glorfindel was not prepared at all for the Twilight Elf called Melody Sunstrider to stick her nose into the power struggle Iine his surprise when he returned to a half-deserted Rivendell which was in a complete mess!

Glorfindel had always been a sharp one He was right about Legolas and Galadriel

Legolas and Galadriel did come to Rivendell 3 days after Melody left

Both of the the pursuit of the Nazgûl Naturally, they chose to return to Rivendell to recuperate At the sa back news of Elrond's death to shake up Rivendell, in order to secretly pull some people to their side

When they returned to Rivendell, they were shocked to discover a city that was half-deserted and enveloped in a distressed at around, they found out that Melody had done the exact things they wanted to do, and she did it hly than they would have!

Since soo with the flow and do it too Legolas and Galadriel hadn't actually planned to go all out before because they're both famous people within the Elven race If they poached too boldly, it would be hard to explain themselves to Glorfindel

But it didn't o now because Glorfindel's nuet would definitely be Melody, who not only started the poaching, but had even ransacked the place Knowing this, Legolas and Galadriel executed their plans without restraint!

Can you iine the Rivendell that Glorfindel returned to? First, Melody lead away half the population and took with her more than 4/5 of the wealth and resources in the city

Next, it was Galadriel and Legolas' turn They didn't pillage the place for resources, but their words persuaded another batch of Elves – about a quarter of those ere left – to leave Rivendell Above all, the Elves that they persuaded were elites in various fields!

In conclusion, the Rivendell inherited by Glorfindel only had about 1/3 of its original population, 1/5 of its original wealth, and 30 of its elite fighting force rery and exhausted Glorfindel blacked out and al for soer pointed at a trusted confidant of his and he said

“Why did you let that wretched follower of Sin'dorei incite the crowd, and did nothing when they ransack the place?”

The Elven Elder helplessly replied

“She earing the Ring of Air! We couldn't protest her actions when she had Sire Vilya on her, let alone attack her!”

Glorfindel could only take deep breaths to calm himself down He knew that it was difficult for Rivendell Elves to go against Vilya which had protected them for thousands of year In addition to that, Melody also had Sindalor as heron to her intiht, a sinister expression crept onto Glorfindel's face He already received news that Melody's new city will be built close to the orc city Glorfindel was planning on a visit to get some explanation from Melody

He didn't dare to brazenly kill her All that would acco Elves his enemies However, Glorfindel was confident that he had the advantage in personal strength over the neakened Twilight Elf He knew that anyone who obtained the Ring of Air would not be able to control its power in such a short aae! He would destroy as s as possible to create widespread terror a the people Then, he would appear in front of the Elves and rally them back to his side He would be able to reverse the situation

Glorfindel thought for a bit y He would focus on causing disturbance and unrest, while sending his underlings to coradually win back their goodwill and could slowly carry out the plan of returning theirl called Melody, even though she surprised hie threat Of course, she still had to die Glorfindel could only get his hands on Vilya when Melody's soul i disappeared after she died

As for how she would die, Glorfindel could think of a hundred ways He would lorious one He would then attend her funeral and shed his tears to nificant contributions to Rivendell

Glorfindel suddenly felt that things weren't as bad as he initially thought At least Vilya didn't fall into the hands of Legolas or Galadriel It would truly be over if that was the case

For it to fall into the hands of Melody…Glorfindel slee He believed that he had at least a 70 chance of obtaining the ring

When the time comes, the Elves and the resources taken by Melody will all return to hiolas and Galadriel, but they're nothing coht about it, the s weren't actually that bad Fortune had played a prank on him, but it was still on his side

He ordered for a feast of fruits to be brought to him After he'd had his fill, he retreated to his chas he was about to do would require his full concentration

A dark silhouette traveled through the forest at an unbelievable speed Even though the ground was littered with fallen leaves and branches, the silhouette made no sound as it moved Its movement was as natural as a fish in water

The silhouette suddenly stopped Its body was shrouded by a strange black mist which completely hid its appearance The only part that was visible was the pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes

The place was the outer region of the old orc city No traces of living animals could be felt from the snow covered forest The silhouette opened its mouth wide and e afterwards, a great eagle flen from the sky to perch in front of the silhouette Based on its appearance, this great eagle should be from the same tribe as the one that Sheyan encountered the last tile After a short conversation, the silhouette exclaimed

“You don't knohat the situation is with that place? You feel a great danger there?”

The voice belonged to Glorfindel The great eagle screeched a few tirieved Glorfindel said bitterly

“It's just an old Ent! Sindalor had received your kind before, so it can simulate an aura that can cause fear in you There's no way the girl can take control of Sire Vilya within such a short areat eagle wouldn't stop shaking its head If Glorfindel kept forcing it, it looked like it would immediately fly away

Glorfindel took a deep breath and angrily said

“Fine Tell le nodded its head and flew up It lead Glorfindel to the location of the pine forest that once e the day

However, what appeared in front of Glorfindel wasn't a pine forest, but a swaae!

Chapter 835: The Living Swa at Glorfindel again

“This is io I clearly re pines, and it was covered in snow!”

Glorfindel carefully observed around and said

“You weren't wrong, o But the pines were all taken down…to become food”

He picked up a rock and threw it into the water The water bubbled and dirt started evaporating A reed lifted itself to reveal the rotting trunk of a pine tree half-subed in the water The roots from rab the pine trunk, absorbing the nutrients within

Glorfindel walked to the edge of the swamp and extended his hand to touch the surface of the water The water did not give off the cold sensation of molten snow; in fact, it was even a little war at the foot of a snowy mountain

What perplexed Glorfindel was, the i and smelly environment It should be full of swamp vines, rotten thorns and other such plants When one took a step in a swa splash

However, the nearant i with life!

The water of the sasn't crystal clear Fro one fro the bottom Water lily-like plants floated at some places where the water was deep Soh nutrients to produce flower buds Those should be the source of the aroma in the air

But at some parts where the water was shallow, one could actually see the tender white roots of the green-coloured plants that floated above the water So into the mud at the bottom There were also so around

The sas so full of life that it was terrifying! It gave the irow a bit bigger

Glorfindel snorted and walked into the water Maybe it was due to the refraction of light, but the part of the water that only see in the ater actually felt pretty coe fish was caught between thuer of Glorfindel's left hand!

The fish was ca leaf The fish struggled for its life in Glorfindel's hand

Glorfindel exerted soers to force open the fish's ave Glorfindel alook and actually started to hiss like a poisonous snake

As the hissing sound spread, a strange phenomenon occured All the ani away at the same time!

The water lilies raised their leaves and sailed in the wind like yachts The giant reeds plucked out their tender white roots and used the deeper into thewith life around Glorfindel athat remained was the water The water that looked clear from close, but from afar or in places where the water ran deep, looked a proud azure blue!

Glorfindel's hand eed fish had left his hand but was now encased in the glow It struggled violently inside as if it was being fried in a pan

The fish distorted its body in pain and took a bite out of its own tail It chewed down forcefully In the end, it broke down into hts and dispersed into the air

Glorfindel's expression turned dark He started to feel that this trip ht it would be However, he was a still a forrasp on Melody's ability He still felt confident of co Elven incantation He had used this spell not long ago to great effect He could feel natural ele

But to Glorfindel's surprise, the spell took 3 tier than usual to chant This meant that there was very little natural element that he could control in the vicinity There wasn't time for him to think too much about it; he coer out Froolden blood dripped into the water

The drop of blood made ripples on the surface of the water The ripples radiated a faint green glow and spread for close to a hundred h boiled like a pot of porridge!

The mussels buried in the mud were forced out and helplessly spread their shells open, revealing the white rey prawn that curled like a rock was ejected out of the surface It lost its life while it was still airborne and started decaying when it fell back into the water

A water snake suddenly slithered out of a rotting tree trunk towards Glorfindel However, it went limp halfway and exploded into a bloody mess A few rock-like aquatic insects ran away in fear, but when the ripples went through them, they slowly floated up to the surface…

“You lowly creatures How dare you attack me”

Said Glorfindel in disdain

Even so, he felt rather astonished His original plan was simply to coate the situation first

Facing the 'Blood Ripples' of Glorfindel, all living creatures within a hundred metres either died or ran away

Glorfindel seemed to be able to swirace, like a fish

The deeper he advanced into the swamp, the more pinewoods he discovered at the bottom These pines looked like they were artificially placed there A layer of algae grew on the pines Through the water, they looked very elegant Of course, Glorfindel wouldn't know that the scenery was plagiarised by Sheyan frolecoou&tbm=isch)

After a while, Glorfindel found that he was leaving the shalloater area The water ahead turned deep and its color turned into an ocean blue He didn't know that he'd reached the end of the pinewood area and was about to enter the lake area that Sheyan traveled through during his first visit here

Glorfindel couldn't help but hesitate for awas exerting pressure on his chest

But he can't just leave without even seeing Melody's new city It wouldn't sit right with him, and he wouldn't be able to explain himself to his followers What would he tell them? That he was already at the doorstep of Melody's city, but ca followers ht leave him

He conte of unease in his heart He continued to swim forward But every time he laid eyes on the indescribable shade of blue of the water, the feeling of unease would so happened thatripples through the whole lake He immediately casted a few buffs and defensive spells like Barkskin, Detect Evil, Bull's Strength and Haste on hi spells, an enormous shi+p made its appearance Wait, no, it wasn't a shi+p – it was a colossal wooden fortress shaped like a pyramid!

The fortress was at least one square kiloether into a huge raft to rew fros to absorb nutrients from the water

On the first layer of the raft, in each of the four directions of the corabbed onto the bottoether firmly The branches of these trees spread like umbrellas to form the platfors that displayed the characteristics of Elven architecture, but had a rough edge to them, perhaps due to the influence of the Dwarves

Chapter 836: Witness

On the 2nd level were railings, ballistae, and even embrasures for the Elves to shoot or cast spells froe aether to for on the terrace, looking over

In the middle of the 3rd level was a Sacred Battle Oak The oak was the true body of Ferrell, the Ent who battled alongside Sheyan

He ht not be as old and as powerful as the Sacred Oak Sindalor, but he'sthis water fortress He transforether the whole water fortress into a single unit On Ferrell's sides were piles of rocks that weighed hundreds of kilograms Ferrell's arms were left free so that he can throw the rocks as projectiles With his terrifying strength, his range was frightening

A fortified railing encircled Ferrell The Elves standing on the 3rd level were all Elves of high statuses They grouped around Melody like stars congregating around the er the Melody froht out a more mature side of hers In her hand was a fine staff reen floated around the staff Occasionally, the staff would project ies of sprouts, leaves and flowers

Melody was also wearing a fla gemstone that had 3 colours – red, yellow and blue The accessory was an exquisite piece of work made especially to counter Melody's lack of MP Melody could store her spiritual power in it when she meditates, and use it later Sindalor also bestowed a permanent flaimli, this accessory named [The Attention of the Sun God] would definitely rank top 3 in the co in first

Glorfindel's heart tightened at such a for in the water while Melody and the rest of the Elves were all standing on the battle fortress at least 5 ical pressure on Glorfindel because he had to look up at everyone else, while they looked down on him

As the battle fortress drew near, Glorfindel realised that powering such a behemoth should be a major problem He carefully observed the water below the fortress and could instantly feel a su platfor that the forendary creature that only existed in the ocean – a whale shark It was extreently pulling the fortress along with a vine rope This should be the result froic + the ical materials collected by Rivendell over thousands of years

The water fortress stopped a kilometer away from Glorfindel His face looked ashen He didn't expect Melody to be strong enough to detect his presence so quickly

He could've ran away if he was in the forest, but he was in water! Plus, there's no way he could just run away the o wouldn't allow it!

Melody casted a voice a spell on herself and called out to Glorfindel

“Welcome to Dawn City, Lord Glorfindel”

Since he was found, Glorfindel naturally couldn't keep up the pretense He dispersed his disguise and casted a divine art to float above the water The divine art consunificant amount of MP, but at least he wouldn't be looked down upon by everyone He was really unhappy about that

“Did you bring therand enough fortone Well, he was powerful enough to be condescending

A huhed and said

“You guessed wrong, Glorfindel No one's here to welcoht the whole population of Dawn City here to let them witness a historic ht of the Holy Beast protecting us We want them to know that, even without the protection of Sire Vilya, a cruel fate still awaits the foolish creatures that try to invade the city!”

“Foolish creatures?” Glorfindel couldn't help but laugh in anger when he heard that He stared at the man and spoke sinisterly, “I reht? Melody's Protector? Since you're no kin offrohed and replied

“Such bad manners But don't worry, I will be lenient when I deal with you, to show respect to your Elven bloodline”

Glorfindel was about to say more when he felt an indescribable pressure froiant tentacle eed and whipped at his waist Glorfindel only had the ti by the force

Glorfindel glided above the lake for 30 meters like a surfer before he could steady hiht on the water and bent its tip towards Glorfindel like a finger A long, thin piece of frostbolt instantly shot towards Glorfindel

Glorfindel's right pallow He used the pally

“Petty tricks”

As soon as he said that, another tentacle appeared Both tentacles instantly cast frostbolts together It put some pressure on Glorfindel, but he could still handle it

However, everyone knew an octopus nor in this manner, he would eventually have to deal with 8 tentacles and 8 frostbolts at the same time! For Glorfindel, he could deal with 2 pretty easily 3 was his li!

Therefore, Glorfindel laughed and said

“I know your plan, Melody! This place is close to the Mines of Moria You think that you can win just because you persuaded the Ocean-freak of Moria to help you? Drea as he activated the spells on his equip fire The power of nature around his body was so thick it could be seen with naked eyes

He raised both hands towards the sky, crossing them at the wrists Then, he vanished all of a sudden and reappeared in front of the Ocean-freak of Moria He pulled his hands apart with force A cross appeared in the air and slashed towards the Ocean-freak of Moria!

The cross looked like a mark that was forcefully ripped apart in the atmosphere, as if space and time were cut open!

The cross hit the Ocean-freak of Moria with a blast that sent tre howl as one of its tentacles was severed at theIt spurted out blue-coloured blood, flipped a few times in the air, and dropped into the water heavily The waves it cause wassmell of blood

“HAHAHAHA!” Glorfindel stood tall and laughed ly “Is this the Holy Beast you were so proud of, Melody? For you to depend on sorace to the Elven race”

Glorfindel once again thanked Fate He was racking his brain for a way to display hiswith her all the Elves to watch his perfor a headache because he couldn't injure the Elves directly, and here ca out a “Holy Beast” for him to trample on!

But for some reason, he couldn't see any trace of disappointment from the faces of the Elves All he could see in their eyes were surprise!

“This is bad!” Glorfindel abruptly turned around and found another giant tentacle behind him The tentacle was dark black in colour and the suckers on it continuously wiggled It gave off the terrifying feeling of having unli there for a long time

If the tentacle had wished to attack Glorfindel, he wouldn't even knohat hit him!

It wasn't until Glorfindel turned around that the tentacle whipped at him It was just an ordinary lash that looked rather slow, but to Glorfindel's horror, none of the 9 ic spells and 8 secret arts he threw out could help hi hit!

Chapter 837: City on the Water

When Glorfindel was hit by the tentacle, the pain was as unforgettable as the childhoodface-first onto a rock from a tree!

His vision went black with sudden dizziness and he almost lost his consciousness due to the pain Fortunately, he had a strong willpower, and he forced hiht Cross Slash'!

As he vanished and reappeared again in front of the terrifying tentacle, he furiously slashed out The destructive X-ain showed up in the air!

Glorfindel's 'Twilight Cross Slash' used the power of space-time, so anywhere it cut would be severed from the current dih anything!

But! The tentacle belonged to a for on the fearso di different di to it, let alone the temporary dimensional crack created by Glorfindel's skill

The Elves watched on in surprise as the 'Twilight Cross Slash' eness after passing through the tentacle, yet the tentacle still toweredGlorfindel!

Glorfindel looked at the tentacle in disbelief He suddenly roared and flashed a few tiht Cross Slashes' which hit the tentacle alest attack!

Unfortunately, it was futile It didn't ht Cross Slashes', it looked like they would all be futile

Glorfindel's heart rapidly sank

He suddenly realised the source of his unease It was this creature in front of hith felt as deep as the vast ocean!

At the saht this damned creature in water

Glorfindel has encountered hout his life, so he abandoned his pride and did what he do best – running away

Just like when he attacked, he disappeared in a flash The other Elves on the water fortress held their breath in anticipation of the attack he would launch next But contrary to their expectation, when he popped up again, he was alreadywith its tail between its legs!

“Did Lord Glorfindel just…run away?” a young Elvish girl that was rooted to the spot asked hesitantly

Her voice was as soft as a whisper, but it caused a huge wave a the Elves on the fortress!

They watched in horror as the black tentacle stabbed forward ain vanished into thin air

The tentacle bizarrely vanished just like Glorfindel did Evidently, the owner of the tentacle had a grasp on dimensional power that was no weaker than Glorfindel's

A lot of Elves on the fortress found it difficult to breathe Only now did they recognise that even though Lady Melody's Protector, the hu himself, but the beheer than what they ih to crush all conspiracies and selfish intentions!

The colossal tentacle's speed was astonishi+ng when it stabbed out, but it was considerably slow in retracting back All throughout the retracting process, the huge suckers on it kept wriggling and sucking on the energy leaked out by the dimensional rifts The tentacle was finally pulled back after quite some time It's tip was curled up

Grasped in the tentacle was the great Twilight Elf, Glorfindel! His face was full of disbelief as he roared helplessly His signature golden hair was currently wet and pushed flat against his head, losing its lustre He cut a pathetic figure

The water fortress approached Glorfindel under Sheyan's order

Sheyan wanted to let all the Elves take a closer look at Glorfindel The same proud, untouchable Glorfindel who now looked like a beaten dog in the hands of their Holy Beast guardians

Presented at such a sight, the i “Holy Beasts” would undoubtedly be established in their hearts, while the ie of Glorfindel would simultaneously take a nosedive! Sheyan wanted to cli on Glorfindel's head!

Glorfindel was so huer and tried in vain to struggle free while hurling a string of curses at Melody

Melody didn't care, but Sheyan's expression turned dark He said with a sneer, “Mr Glorfindel, I chose to pardon you when you threatened to hangLady Melody Sunstrider with such filthy words She ive you out of kindness, but as her Protector, I'm not so patient!”

Sheyan waved his hand and Paul's scary giant tentacle tightened a little Glorfindel's shouts were abruptly stifled He felt such tre beca after, his whole body started shaking due to a lack of oxygen

To s worse, the suckers on Paul's tentacles sucked hard at that moment They completely absorbed the rest of the MPs in his body that he had secretly retained, thus totally denying him the opportunity to launch a suicidal attack!

The difference in strength between Glorfindel and Paul weren't actually that wide However, Glorfindel ht an aquatic creature in water! Paul's strength directly increased by a rank in water

In addition to that, being the summoned creature of Davy Jones, Paul was naturally very faic

Glorfindel's dimensional poas child's play in front of Paul If Glorfindel had used divine arts of nature against Paul, the effect would have been ure to all the Elves present, Sheyan asked Paul to let Glorfindel down Glorfindel was delighted to hear the order He knew that as long as he could free hi tentacle, his chance to escape would significantly increase

Paul revealed itsthe order, sending huge waves to the surrounding area Instead of i Glorfindel free, it first sprayed Glorfindel's whole body with ink It didn't look like much to other people, but Paul's ink was definitely not that siony The ink seeped into every orifice on his body as if they had a life of their own, co him Only now did Paul loosen his tentacle to drop Glorfindel onto the deck of the battle fortress Glorfindel's only reaction was to convulse involuntarily on the deck

At a wave of Sheyan's hand, a few Elves brought out Paul's favourite delicacy – some cleaned cows – and threw the in satisfaction Then, it swung its tentacles to bring back a couple of cows for the injured Ocean-freak of Moria

The water battle fortress had achieved its objective for the day Under the lead of the shark whale, it circled around to return whence it caain arrived at the pine forest where Sheyan and Reef had once traversed This was the place where Sheyan first found the eggs of the Ocean-freak of Moria, and the valley behind the pine forest here Reef separated fro hypnotised
