39 Elven Race (2/2)
”I have something to attend to, so if you would like to come with us so we can talk after our business is taken care of.” Without saying another word, he made a mad dash towards the port. It should be known that Boni was already at level 44. After putting the 40 points he gained at level 40 to Strength, there wasn't many that could match him in strength, much less have him experience a sense of urgency despite him having 185 base points in VIT.
True enough, as soon as he got there, Boni and Mabini were both struggling to defend against what looked like a giant Metoposaurus, that somehow got over the walls. Every time it struck with it's tail Boni and Mabini had to support each other.
In normal circumstances, they could have taken care of this creature with help from Apple, Maria, and Clara, but the three were doing their best to hold off the other sea creatures. It would have boggled his mind prior to the new world to see so many familiar mainly aquatic creatures turning amphibious. But in this new world, very few things made sense.
Just as Luna was about to charge in, he heard the Elder's voice from beside him. He was quite shocked, this old man definitely appeared out of nowhere. He was already trying to think up of solutions in case this old man turns on them.
”These creatures getting scared is our fault. You have my apologies, Lord Luna. Allow me.” After reciting an incantation, numerous tiny sparks of electricity appeared above the water and above the two Metoposaurus that Boni and Mabini were fighting.
”Boni! Mabini! Get down!” After seeing how the Elder destroyed the dome, he knew how strong a blast those seemingly weak sparks could make. But, the explosion he expected did not come, the moment it hit the two amphibians, their bodies immediately got electrocuted but there was no explosion. Soon after, they fell over. Dead. No other creatures crawled out of the water as well.
”Lightning is indeed extremely volatile, but as long as someone has the correct degree of control. Even lightning can be controlled to some degree.” Aran gave a wizened smile befitting that of an Elder, towards Luna.
”You have my thanks, Elder Aran. Shall we talk?”
”Of course, Lord Luna.”
After some time, Elder Aran called over the same young lady and middle-aged looking man that he spoke to previously. ”Ah, Lord Luna, Lady Sura, this is my Son, Arbane, and his daughter, Alea. We are the Qibalar family. We have been our tribe's leaders for generations.”
”It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Luna and Lady Sura. I can't believe I'm actually in the presence of someone from the Asuran race.” Alea greeted them, as Arbane gave a simple greeting as well.
”We're glad to have you as well. Come, let's head to our residence, so we can talk peacefully there.”
The moment the gates for Luna's residence opened, the three elves gasped. Elder Aran was pointing forward with his whole body shaking. Arbane and Alea had shocked expressions on their faces as well.
”Life... L-life Tree. That, please tell me that is a Life Tree, Lord Luna!” After managing to get the words out of his mouth, Elder Aran dropped to his knees as tears started pouring from his eyes.
Luna, similarly shocked as well, but towards their reactions on the Life Tree could only answer their question. ”Indeed it is.”
What was the secret behind the Life Tree? Why did this Elder who was extremely powerful, burst into tears at the mere sight of it?
