Chapter 1234 - Mark of the Dragon Soul (1/2)

“The dark elves have decided to surrender?”

When Nell heard this news from Rhode, she was astonished beyond words. Shortly after, this dark elf with unique skin color puckered her brows and gazed at her master in uncertainty. She sized him up and tried to get a read on his face, but it was a pity that his face was as emotionless as ever.

“Your Majesty, please pardon my rudeness. Surely you don’t believe in the matriarchs’ promise, right?”

“Why can’t I?”

Facing Nell’s question, the corners of Rhode’s mouth perked up into a confident smile.

“Dark elves are a bunch who keep their promises; at least, that is the case in certain aspects. Nonetheless, I think we do need spies in the underground too, don’t you agree?”

“But…”

Nell gazed at Rhode speechlessly. She felt like his smile concealed a hint of oddness as though the situation wasn’t as simple as she imagined. Although Nell was confident in her master’s abilities, destroying the dark elves was one matter, while manipulating them was another, especially in the current situation.

“Your Majesty, isn’t our most important mission right now to rescue Her Highness Erin?”

Nell blinked in confusion and asked.

“That’s right. This is our mission.”

Upon hearing her doubt, Rhode nodded.

“But it isn’t yours… Nell, your mission is completed the moment you lead us to Carlesodar. Your next task is to gain control over the city in the shortest time possible… How about that, Nell? Aren’t you interested in becoming the essential ruler of dark elves?”

“Me?!”

Nell couldn’t hold in her emotions any longer. She widened her eyes in bewilderment, staring straight at Rhode. She couldn’t believe that Rhode actually gave her a chance like this. Ruler of dark elves… This title was indeed tempting, but the problem was that Nell knew her own strength. She was just a fighter who couldn’t cast spells. Strength was always the most crucial in the world of dark elves. In terms of physical skills, Nell regarded herself as the strongest in Carlesodar City. But in terms of spell-casting, she didn’t stand a chance.

“But, Your Majesty…”

Nell just couldn’t figure out whether Rhode was messing with her or not. She considered her words carefully and continued.

“… Please pardon my rudeness. I don’t think I can do it.”

“I’m aware of that.”

Rhode squinted at her.

“But I will make you succeed.”

Rhode replied and beckoned to her. Upon witnessing his hand gesture, Nell sauntered toward him in puzzlement. Then, she witnessed Rhode placing his right hand in front of her, where dazzling, brilliant starlight emanated and displayed a mark of a dragon in midair.

“Hold my right hand.”

Upon hearing his order, Nell stretched out her hand without hesitation and held his hand.

At the next moment, Nell sensed a strong torrent of energy rushing into her body. All of a sudden, her entire body was bursting with strength. Not only did she feel the surging spiritual power, but she could also touch the rule threads. She widened her eyes in disbelief. If one were to show her reflection in the mirror, she would immediately notice that she was emanating faint rays of starlight from head to toe, while the mark of the dragon shone at the center of her forehead.
