459 Wood Transmogrification (1/2)
Boom!
The wooden back walls shattered, and the two flew outside the Great Hall!
King Erendriel's overwhelming display of brute strength greatly surprised Supreme Elder Haldir as he spat out a mouthful of blood from the damage incurred.
The Supreme Elder's body shortly slammed into the home of another High Elf, causing cracks along the surface of the building.
”Ugh.”
Supreme Elder Haldir grunted in pain for the impacts before he glared at King Erendriel in the distance with a cold glint.
The Supreme Elder's organs were damaged, and bones were broken, but a gentle green light shortly suffused his body, healing the Supreme Elder's injuries back to a perfect state.
”What kind of power is this? This isn't the sort of brute strength a Wood-type Transcendent should have.”
Supreme Elder Haldir frowned.
He could sense King Erendriel's cultivation rising rapidly, surpassing the Preliminary Accession-level Transcendent, and entering the Seeking Insight-level Transcendent Realm.
At the same time, King Erendriel was undergoing a startling transformation.
A dense amount of Wood Energy burst out from King Erendriel's body and enveloped him. Twin branches of wood protruded from his forehead, elbows, and knees, with few green leaves sticking from the tips.
His forearms and fists enlarged with rigidity and rough wooden textures while his pupils glowed with intense green light.
”What kind of diabolic change is this?!”
The High Elves living in the area gathered in the surrounding due to the commotion and became shocked by King Erendriel's transformation.
They never knew Wood Energy could be used like this; to transform Wood Energy into raw physical power, significantly boosting the body's defense at the same time.
On the other hand, King Erendriel was turning himself into a plant.
”Do you think now is the time for us to be fighting? Is this what a king should be doing?” Supreme Elder Haldir asked with a frown while making his own battle preparations, infusing Wood Energy into his vine seeds.
The vine seeds quickly germinated and proliferated, weaving around the Supreme Elder to form a set of green Vine Armor.
Another set of vines intertwining to form a long lance for the Supreme Elder to use as his weapon.
It was a rare form for the Supreme Elder to take on, but it was needed to cope with King Erendriel's fearsome physical strength.
”Are you surprised by my strength, Supreme Elder Haldir?” King Erendriel grinned while his green eyes flashed with an ominous glint of battle intent.
”It seems talk is useless.”
After all, the Elf King did not have the same influence befitting of one. This is all due to the Elf King's cultivation being lacking compared to the Supreme Elder, who was the strongest elf in Elvengarde.
Supreme Elder Haldir was sorely disappointed by King Erendriel's action in prioritizing his own self-interest over the tribe, especially when disaster was right outside their doorstep.
