Chapter 1: System? Logging In at the Moon Well
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sacred Continent.
In the Heavenly Night Forest.
The mountains here spanned tens of thousands of miles. The ancient trees hundreds of feet tall were lush and luxuriant, and the magic elements within were extremely active.
In the forest, all kinds of small animals were chasing and playing with one another. Their voices were melodious, like a paradise.
Here lived the mysterious race of the continent, the Elves.
The elves were the favored children of the heavens, chosen by the god of the forest as the nobles of the heavens.
On the whole, the appearance of the elves was almost the same as that of humans. The only difference was that they had a pair of sharp little ears.
The Elves loved peace and had a pure and flawless heart. It was also because of this that they could better communicate with the magic elements between heaven and earth.
It could be said that the Elves were born to be mages.
However, there were exceptions to everything.
At this moment, at the edge of the Elves’ territory, an old man with a white beard led a young elf toward the direction of the Moon Well.
The handsome young elf followed behind the old elf in confusion. However, there was not a single trace of magical elements around him.
“Chris, your mother broke the rules of the clan, but under the guidance of the Sacred Tree of Life, the Queen allowed you to become a member of the Elves.”
“Due to your lack of talent, you are unable to communicate with magic elements and thus cannot become a mage. This is why the Queen arranged for you to be the Moon Guardian. Do not disappoint the Queen,” Norton, the old elf, said earnestly.
Chris, who was following behind him, had a confused look on his face.
He was not from this world. He had transmigrated from a place called Earth.
According to the memories in his mind, his mother was the former saintess of the Elves. She met with an unexpected disaster because she had a relationship with a human. In the end, she sent him to the Elves and entrusted him to his sister, the elven queen.
“Does this mean that I have to call the Elven Queen my aunt?”
His mother’s marriage with a human had violated the rules of the Elves. The Queen had to bear a great deal of pressure to keep Chris alive, even if she was the Queen.
She couldn’t give him any more special treatment.
While Chris was immersed in his gloominess, Norton had already brought him through the long territory of the Elves and arrived at the Moon Well at the edge of the territory.
“This is the place. Every time the moon is full, the adult elves will come to be baptized. You will be in charge of welcoming them.”
The Moon Well was a large-scale magic formation that the elven elders had been perfecting for generations.
It would be reinforced once a year. Through this magic formation, the moonlight would be sucked into the well water. The elves who were baptized would have a closer relationship with nature and find it easier to absorb magic elements.
“Understood, Elder Norton.” Chris nodded and changed into the Moon Guardian’s clothes Norton handed to him.
Norton sighed. At the sight of Chris, who was feeling morose, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something. In the end, it turned into a long sigh.
Chris watched as Norton left. He could clearly see that he was a good elder.
At the same time, he also knew what it meant to be a Moon Guardian.
Only those who were born with disabilities or did not have any magic talent would become Moon Guardians.
Thinking about it, he realized that there had not been any Moon Guardians in the race for hundreds of years.
He did not expect that he himself would be one.
“Without magic talent, I can’t become a mage. Isn’t my situation very dangerous?” Chris frowned.
On this continent, other than the elves, there were also the Ten Kingdoms and the Orc Kingdom. Other than these three major forces, there were also other smaller forces, scattered over the continent.
On the surface, everything seemed calm and peaceful between the three forces, but no one could say for sure that they would not turn on each other in the next moment.
In this world of magic and combat aura, there were unknown dangers everywhere. One’s strength was the only foundation when one wanted to establish his own footing.
At this thought, Chris felt an acute sense of danger.
“Ding… Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the Elven Log In system. The first login location is the Moon Well. Do you want to login?”
Chris was stunned by the voice that suddenly popped up in his mind.
A system was something he was extremely familiar with.
As a veteran Internet enthusiast, he knew what the word “System” meant.
Sure enough, the system would be late, but it would never be absent.
After calming himself down, Chris said, “System, are you saying that I can log in anywhere in the elves’ territory?”
“Yes!”
“Can I log in twice in the same place?”Chris asked.
“Yes, but the rewards you get will decrease if you log in at the same location more than once.”
Chris nodded thoughtfully. “I understand.”
He was sent to be the Moon Guardian, though. He couldn’t possibly leave his post and go to another place to sign up, right?
The Elves had strict rules and regulations. The Moon Guardian could not leave his post without permission.
Moreover, because of the issue with his mother, the Elven Queen was already under a lot of pressure.
Chris really did not want his aunt — whom he had never met before — to be faced with an even more difficult situation because of him.
“If the reward drops, so be it. When I have enough strength in the future, I’ll sneak into other locations secretly. I should hurry up and increase my strength first.”
“Logging in, Moon Well,” Chris muttered in his mind.
“Ding, Congratulations, host, you have successfully logged in at Moon Well. System reward: Body of Nature.”
Body of Nature? What was that?
Chris was a little confused. He still did not have a clear idea even though he had fused with the memories in his mind.
He opened the system interface to take a look.
The next second, his entire gaze was filled to the brim with unprecedented excitement.
“One possessing the Body of Nature is able to absorb the purest natural magic elements in the world and convert the magic elements in his body into elements of any attribute.”
This constitution was awesome!
Although he had just arrived in this world, Chris already knew that there were four basic magic elements in this world thanks to the memories in his mind. They were Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
On the basis of these four elements, Thunder, Ice, Space, Light, Darkness, and many other types of magic were born.
However, no matter what, the human body could only withstand one type of magic element, and could not store more than one element.
For example, the Fire element could only be used to cast Fire Elemental Magic. Once the second type of magic element was integrated into it, at the very least, one’s cultivation would be crippled, and at the very worst, one’s body would explode and die.
However, Chris had the Body of Nature, which would allow him to absorb and transform natural elements into any element, completely breaking this rule.
In that case, Chris was now the only all-elemental mage in this world.
Just hearing it made Chris’ blood boil with excitement.
Think about it! Imagine if you were fighting against another mage, who could only wield one element, while you, without this restriction, could combine various types of magic in your attacks.
How could this not be astounding?
Chapter 2: Terrifying Cultivation Speed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chris couldn’t help but want to try the Body of Nature.
He first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quickly sneaked into the tree house next to the Moon Well.
As this small house was set up with a wind element spell, the house was still clean and spotless, even if no one had lived in it for a hundred years.
Chris did not think too much about it. He began to practice the meditation technique in his mind with his legs crossed.
This meditation technique was taught to him by the late elven saintess. However, she gave up after learning that Chris did not possess any magic.
It was now a great help.
Just as he started to meditate, Chris felt the magic elements wandering between heaven and earth.
To be precise, they were the oldest and most primitive natural elements.
These elements had been silent for thousands of years, and no one had ever resonated with them.
This time, it was as if they were summoned. Under Chris’ call, they seemed to have found a sense of belonging.
They excitedly integrated into Chris’ body, entering his muscles, bones, blood, and even every cell.
Chris’ body was also undergoing drastic changes.
His slightly yellowish skin became pale and shiny under the continuous infusion of magical elements.
His bones also crackled. At this moment, he felt like his entire body was filled with explosive power.
His entire spirit was completely different compared to before.
The nobility in his bones and the natural brilliance of the Elves were also released.
In just a few short minutes, the thin and weak young man had become a dignified young man with well-built muscles.
“That was powerful.” Chris’ eyes were filled with shock.
His body had absorbed so many magic elements. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but his spirit also became more and more energetic.
It was as if he was addicted to it.
The fact that the body of an ordinary mage was not able to contain too many magic elements, especially when they were new to meditation, was common knowledge. They would be forced to stop after meditating for one to two minutes.
Even the elves, creatures favored by the heavens, had to adhere to this rule too.
According to what he remembered, the Elven Queen had only meditated for three to four minutes during her first time.
On the other hand, Chris had meditated for seven to eight minutes during his first meditation. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he was also full of energy.
“As expected of the Body of Nature. In that case, I’ll meditate for a while more to see how heaven-defying this body is. Where is its limit?”
Time passed minute by minute.
One hour…
Two hours…
…
Chris was shocked. He was not tired at all.
This was only his first time meditating, and yet his performance was already so terrifying. The time he spent meditating was more than a hundred times longer than the time other people had spent on it.
The longer he meditated, the more terrifying the magic elements he absorbed. Chris’ cultivation soared like a rocket as he felt the magic elements roiling inside his body.
He was now a Level 2 Magic Apprentice.
Chris had reached this level only within three hours. If this news got out, he would definitely be beaten up for lying out of his ass.
After all, no one else had ascended a level within such a perversely short time aside from Chris himself.
There was a strict hierarchy when it came to the advancement of magic. It consisted of the following ranks:
Magic Apprentice (1-9)
Beginner Mage (1-9)
Intermediate Mage (1-9)
Advanced Mage (1-9)
Sorcerer (1-9)
Archmage (1-9)
Saint Sorcerer (1-9)
Even the elves, who were naturally talented in magic, would need to cultivate for one to two years before they could become a Level 9 Magic Apprentice.
It was impossible to become an intermediate or advanced mage without decades of meditation.
Some would even need to meditate for more than a hundred years.
One would need at least a few hundred years of accumulation before becoming an Advanced Mage.
Also, one would simply not be able to become a Saint Sorcerer if they relied on talent and hard work alone. Apart from that, they would have to have encountered certain special opportunities too.
All three were vital.
Elder Norton, the Level 9 Archmage who had brought him here, had been stuck in the Archmage rank for hundreds of years. He was only one step away.
However, the Elven Queen, who was a few hundred years younger than him, had broken through and became a Saint Sorcerer in just a dozen years. She was now one of the first-tier powerhouses in the continent.
Therefore, opportunities could only be encountered but not sought.
However, Chris had the Body of Nature, so he did not have to worry at all. Not only was he not limited by any bottlenecks, but there were also no restrictions on his cultivation.
He could break through directly by cultivating. The only thing that was lacking was time.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll make good use of my time to cultivate. I might be able to become the youngest Saint-level powerhouse in the world.”
Chris continued to cultivate.
Just like that, as time passed, his level soared like a rocket.
Level 3 Magic Apprentice.
Level 4 Magic Apprentice.
Level 5 Magic Apprentice.
Just as he was about to break through to Level 6, he started to slow down, and he felt a heavy sense of fatigue.
“It seems that I have thought too simply. I can’t cultivate endlessly even with the Body of Nature.”
Chris, who was gradually withdrawing from meditation, shook his head with a bitter smile.
However, on second thought, who else was able to advance from Level 1 to Level 5 in one go when he had just started cultivating? He was just a little bit away from breaking through to Level 6.
If news of this rapid increase in his level were to spread, he was afraid that he would be captured and studied by the people on the continent.
After a long period of training, Chris was not only mentally exhausted, but he was also on the verge of collapsing.
He was already extremely hungry.
Just as he opened the door, Chris smelled a refreshing fragrance. After that, he saw a basket of fruits on the table beside the stairs.
His heart warmed. “My aunt, who has never seen me before, still cares about me.”
It was obvious that all of this was because of the Elven Queen’s instructions.
Otherwise, how could a small Moon Guardian receive such good treatment? Someone had even sent fruits to him.
He took the basket into the house. Inside were fruits that he had never seen before.
However, the fragrance was thick and suffused with a fragrant and ripe smell. It looked like a rich fruit juice.
“This fruit is red, its color is well-proportioned, and is very fragrant. It must be very delicious.”
Chris took a bite, and the sweet juice instantly filled his mouth.
“So sweet!”
After training for an entire day, he was now hungry, and the fruit was so sweet and tempting.
Soon, he finished all the fruits in the basket. Chris patted his stomach in satisfaction, and even his fatigue was reduced by a lot.
“Oh right, how did I forget something this important?”
Chris suddenly remembered that it was already early in the morning. It was already a new day.
He could start logging in.
As expected, he opened the system panel and found that the record from yesterday had been refreshed. A new page had appeared.
His heart jolted. “System, log in, Moon Well.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully logging in. You have received the system reward: Codex of the Undead.”
Chapter 3: The Codex of the Undead
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Codex of the Undead.”
Chris’ expression was one of surprise.
The Codex of the Undead was the Bible for dark magic practitioners. It was a collection of magic spells, recorded by countless powerful mages after learning magic their whole lives. The book also recorded their insights on magic.
Although he had just arrived in this world, he knew that Death Mages were the most unpopular among all the factions.
This was because the dark magic elements absorbed by Death Mages were different from other magic elements. They had a strong corrosive nature and could distort people’s hearts.
After being corroded by the dark elements for a long time, Death Mages became extremely ugly and cruel.
However, the destructive power of dark magic was also the highest among all the magic elements.
It had once caused a bloody storm in the Sacred Continent.
Therefore, most people did not have a good impression of Death Mages, whether they were humans, beasts, or elves. They would kill whichever Death Mage they came across.
However, Chris did not have such concerns. The magic in his body was Natural Magic. It would only transform into the Dark element when he cast Dark spells.
It would not be stored in his body for a long time, so the weakness of the Dark element would not be reflected in his body.
After understanding this, Chris felt somewhat excited.
Death Mages were hated by everyone, but it was different for Chris, as he had just arrived in this Other World. The most important thing was to have the ability to protect himself. Powerful Dark Magic was his first choice.
Without any hesitation, he took out the Dark Magic rewarded to him by the system and began to study it seriously.
He read until he felt drowsy, and after that he sank into a deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, other than eating and sleeping, Chris spent all his time studying The Codex of the Undead.
His cultivation level had also soared from Level 5 to Level 9. He was just a step away from becoming a Beginner-level Mage.
“My progress is getting slower and slower!” Chris sighed, somewhat unsatisfied.
With his recent breakthroughs, the further he advanced, the slower he progressed. He was no exception to the rule even with his Body of Nature.
In less than a week, he had advanced from a Level 1 Magic Apprentice to a Level 9 Magic Apprentice. He was still not satisfied. If the mages outside knew about this, they would definitely curse him.
Chris knew that he could not be too hasty. The fact that he had achieved more in seven days than other mages had achieved in more than ten years was amazing enough.
He withdrew from meditation and put away the Codex because Norton had sent him a message in the morning. A group of adult elves would come to the Moon Well for a baptism.
“It looks like the time is almost up,” Chris said. Suddenly, he heard footsteps in the distance.
From afar, Elder Norton brought a large group of elves over and stopped beside the Moon Well. Chris walked over directly.
“Chris, this is your first time being in charge of welcoming those who come to the Moon Well to be baptized. I will guide you from the side later. You have to learn seriously, understand?”
“Thank you, Elder Norton. I will definitely study hard.” Chris nodded seriously.
Norton was a Level 9 Archmage. He was a rare existence even among the Elves.
Normally he would not take the lead during a baptism of such small scale.
Chris knew that the other party was only doing this for him.
Elder Norton’s face was full of relief, but at this moment, his gaze was fixed on Chris.
“Eh, I haven’t seen you only for a few days. Why has your aura… Become strange?”
He felt that Chris had suddenly changed, but he could not tell what was different.
“Maybe I was wrong. It’s more important to start the baptism now. Let’s start now.”
Elder Norton did not care. Only then did Chris let out a heavy breath. He had almost been figured out.
Fortunately, when he logged in yesterday, he had obtained a “Gem” that hid his aura. ‘It seems like it’s time to be careful. Otherwise, my secret, which is that I’m practicing magic, will be exposed,’ he thought.
After the small incident just now, Chris was even more careful in the process, afraid that he would be discovered.
It had to be said that Elder Norton was really dedicated to Chris. The other elves who came to participate in the baptism didn’t mock Chris.
Some of them did not talk to him, but it was because of their personalities.
Finally, after three hours, Norton returned with the other elves.
However, Chris could not understand why the elves, including some female elves, did not mind him watching them during the baptism.
In fact, once the Moon Magic Formation was activated, only the Moon Guardian remained other than the elves who were baptizing.
The two of them could see each other, while the others would be isolated from the formation.
The Elves had a long life span. In the eyes of the elves, who were only considered as adults when they reached their 60s, Chris — who was 13 to 14 years old — was just a three-year-old kid.
Would you be wary of a three-year-old kid?
Soon, Chris stopped thinking and returned to the treehouse to study the Codex of the Undead.
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
In the past six months, Chris had held three baptisms.
The problem that plagued him persisted. After the third baptism, he held an adult elf back, and he finally got the answer to his question.
As the Moon Guardian, he spent his time outside of holding baptisms meditating.
The longer he cultivated, the faster he progressed. He was now a Level 6 Sorcerer.
In half a year’s time, his cultivation had surpassed that of a Mage Apprentice, a Beginner Mage, an Intermediate Mage, and an Advanced Mage. He had reached the level of a Sorcerer. This strange speed was truly shocking.
That night, Chris finished studying the Codex of the Undead and was about to rest when he suddenly heard footsteps.
“Hmm, it’s so late. Who else would come to the Moon Well? An elf?” Chris sensed the other party’s existence thanks to his Natural Magic.
From what he sensed, a sneaky figure had thrown a sleeping spell at his tree house.
Chris immediately laid down and pretended to be asleep. He wanted to see what this guy was up to.
This guy was actually still at ease. He looked into the treehouse a few times and confirmed that Chris had been hit. Then, he took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it gently.
Strangely, there was no sound.
However, Chris noticed that the magic elements in his surroundings started to vibrate slightly at the moment the whistle was blown.
‘Could it be some tool that is used to send magic signals through long distances?’ Chris thought to himself as he heard a flurry of footsteps approaching.
A few figures appeared in the distance, but unlike the dark figures from before, these people were not elves.
“They are Hunters.”
Chapter 4: Conspiracy: Stealing Skulls
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The elves were always loved by humans because of their beauty.
These hunters who wandered around the outskirts of the forest hunted beautiful adult elves in exchange for a massive sum of profit.
In human history, there was even a saying: a servant could be passed down for three generations.
It meant that a human family would pass down an elf slave for three generations.
In the eyes of humans, this was a very wonderful thing.
The price of a female elf was enough for an ordinary person to buy a luxurious house in the most luxurious area of the human race.
This was also why there were still a large number of hunters lurking at the periphery of the forest, even at the risk of their lives.
“Barton, what are you doing here? Did you find it?” The leading Hunter said impatiently.
“Of course. Why would I call you here otherwise?” The elf Dubeeca walked up to them. They were the elf who had casted the sleeping spell.
“Where is it?” The leader of the Hunters asked, his eyes shining brightly. “This time, we pretended to be Hunters and mingled in the outer area of the Heavenly Night Forest. It has been too long. If the humans, orcs, and elves find out, our secret will be exposed.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already found Rufael’s skull. There’s no rush.” A dark light flashed in Dubeeca’s eyes. “But what did you promise me?”
Rufael’s skull?
Could it be the legendary Lich King, Rufael?
Chris, who was in the wooden house, was instantly shocked.
There was a legend that thousands of years ago, the Necromancer Rufael, in order to obtain eternal life, did not hesitate to use a forbidden spell to transform himself into an undead creature. He was titled The Lich King.
After that, the War of the Dark Sky Curtain was launched.
Under the leadership of the Lich King, the army of the Undead conquered the humans and many city-states of the orcs.
Even the elves, which had lived in seclusion for generations, were affected.
Later, under the joint efforts of the humans, orcs, and elves, The Lich King was defeated and sealed.
Moreover, in order to prevent the followers of the Lich King from resurrecting him, they sealed him in the territory of the three main races.
The elves had sealed Rufael’s skull, and the location of the seal was in the Moon Well.
This was what Chris had found in the handwritten notes left behind by the previous generation of Moon Guardians.
“Dubeeca, you’re doubting the Holy King’s methods.” The human leader frowned.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant!” Dubeeca explained. “I’ve never doubted the methods of your Holy King. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the alchemy potion that he personally concocted and forcefully regressed from a Level 9 Archmage to a Level 8 Archmage.”
Dubeeca’s words made Chris’ gaze freeze.
On this continent, there was a group of very mysterious people who liked to make strange things.
They made things like armor, weapons, potions, and magic staffs.
They were also known as alchemists.
However, this Holy King’s methods were too unbelievable. To be able to turn a human into an elf who can’t be detected!
“Dubeeca, don’t worry. As long as you lead us to Rufael’s skull, our Holy King will definitely assist you in breaking through to Saint-level,” the human leader said.
The lifespan of a human could not be compared to that of an elf. Ordinary people only had a lifespan of a hundred years. Only those powerful mages could extend their own life spans longer.
Only by breaking through to Saint-level could they continue to live.
Dubeeca was already 110 years old. A part of his life span was already gone after consuming the secret alchemy potion.
If he could not break through to the Saint-level, he probably would not have a few months to live.
“I don’t care what you want Rufael’s skull for. I just want to get the secret potion that can help me break through to my Saint-level as soon as possible,” Dubeeca said stubbornly.
It seemed that he would not take further action before he saw the potion for himself.
The leader narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Our Holy King had expected you to say that, so he has already asked me to bring the secret potion over.”
He snatched the bottle from his hand and Dubeeca opened the bottle cap to smell it. His face immediately lit up with joy. “Such a strong medicinal effect! There is no mistake. As long as I take this bottle of potion, I will be able to break through from a Level 9 Archmage to Saint-level.”
“Don’t be agitated. Our Holy King said that you are still an elf and must first transform into a human. Otherwise, if the two medicinal effects clash in your body, you will only die.”
Dubeeca did not doubt the human leader’s words.
To be precise, he trusted the Holy King. When he came, he had indeed taken a bottle of potion and transformed from a human into an elf.
Now that he had the potion, he was still afraid that the Holy King would change his mind. This was not good for him.
“Since I have gotten what I want, let’s take out Rufael’s skull and leave this place together!”
“You mean that the skull is sealed here.” Following Dubeeca’s line of sight, the human leader looked at the Moon Well.
Not only did he not expect it, the others who followed him also did not expect it.
The Lich King’s skull, which had once activated the Dark Sky Curtain and caused the three great races to fall into darkness, was actually sealed at the border of the Elves’ territory
No one was guarding it. Oh. No, there was one person.
It was Chris.
When he first heard the news, Chris was also shocked.
He came to his senses and started Percepting their every move.
“Come, let’s open the seal under the Moon Well and take out the Lich King’s skull.” Dubeeca already could not wait.
He wanted to go back immediately and ask the Holy King to help him recover his body.
He wanted to enjoy the joy of breaking through to Saint-level. As long as he took the secret potion, he could become a true Saint-level powerhouse.
With excitement, Dubeeca took out a map from his pocket. On it was a clear record of the formation around the Moon Well.
“With this, we can successfully take the skull without the elves noticing.”
“Well done. When we go back, I will definitely report this to the Holy King and credit you. Other than breaking through to Saint-level, you can also get other rewards.”
As the Hunter leader spoke, he ordered his subordinates to follow the map’s arrangement and began to remove the seal at the Moon Well.
About ten minutes later, the group removed the seal.
Under the moonlight, they took out a golden box.
“This is the legendary skull of the Great Lich King. I have finally completed the mission the Holy King gave me. The Holy King will definitely trust me more in the future.” The leader’s eyes were filled with excitement.
He was only a Level 8 Swordsman, yes, but what if he was valued by the Holy King?
He would surely be able to break through to Saint-level in the future. Thinking of this, he was full of energy and could not wait to rush to the Holy King.
“Hmm, why’s there someone else around?”
Just as he was about to leave with his people, he suddenly sensed Chris’ aura. Bajeel, the Hunters’ leader, looked murderous.
“There’s no need to make a fuss. It’s just a young elf who can’t cultivate. I’ve already cast a sleeping spell.”
Chapter 5: Black Flame Rampage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The fact that we came to retrieve Rufael’s skull must not be leaked. We can’t let him live even if he doesn’t know about us.”
“Up to you!” Dubeeca spread his hands. The life and death of an elf had nothing to do with him.
Bajeel waved his hand, and two Intermediate Swordsmen immediately came out and walked into the treehouse.
“You have already obtained Rufael’s skull. Just take it and leave. Why bother provoking me?”
At this moment, Carlisle walked out of the treehouse.
“Impossible! You were hit by my sleeping spell. How could you still be up?” The one who was most shocked was Dubeeca.
After he cast the spell, he went to take a look. Chris had laid on the bed, immobile.
“Humph!” Bajeel sneered. “Dubeeca, not only did your strength drop after you became an elf, but even your brain has become stupid. I really didn’t expect that. If I wasn’t cautious, the news of Rufael’s skull would have spread across the continent tomorrow.”
Dubeeca was covered in cold sweat. What he was nervous about was not the skull, nor was it about the news being leaked.
He would not take it to heart even if the whole world knew about it.
However, if the Holy King’s plan was ruined because of this, then his hope of breaking through to Saint-level would be destroyed.
“What are you waiting for? Kill this kid quickly. Are you waiting for the other elves to come over?” Bajeel, who had come back to his senses, quickly shouted at the two swordsmen.
The two swordsmen brandished their longswords and attacked Chris together. The longswords shone with different colors, red and blue interchanging.
“So this is Combat Aura, huh?” Chris muttered and hooked his finger.
In the next second, the bodies of the two swordsmen were instantly covered by darkness.
Before they could even react, all the energy in their bodies was sucked away and they turned into two skeletons without any flesh and blood.
“Hiss! He’s a Necromancer!”
Seeing this scene, Bajeel and Dubeeca both sucked in a breath of cold air.
Ever since the Lich King was defeated, the once rampant Necromancers started to keep a low profile and walked in darkness.
It had been a long time since they had seen a Necromancer fight.
They did not expect to meet the legendary Necromancer when they came to retrieve Rufael’s skull this time.
Unfortunately, Chris did not give the two of them the chance to be surprised. With a wave of his two fingers, the two skeletons turned their bodies and attacked the two of them.
“Damn it! Heavenly Damage!” Bajeell’s Combat Aura surged on his longsword and shot toward the two of them.
A whitish Combat Aura tore through the night sky. The two skeletons were cut into two halves before they could get close.
“As expected of a High-level Swordsman. This vigorous Combat Aura is much stronger than these two people.” As Chris said this, dark magic shone on his fingertips. The bones on the ground that had been cut into a few pieces were actually restored to their original state. They continued to fight.
“Creatures that have transformed into the Undead can’t be killed. Only by killing the spellcaster can we truly kill them,” Bajeel reminded him as he threw two fireballs at Chris.
Dubeeca also raised his long sword, activated his powerful Combat Aura, and swept toward Chris.
However, facing the attacks of the two people, Chris’s expression was calm. He did not dodge and said, “Lobbing fireballs at me in the dark, huh. You’re really brave. You’re not afraid of attracting the guards at all!”
In the Elves’ territory, there would be elf squads patrolling 24 hours a day for the sake of a sudden attack, regardless of whether it was day or night.
Even though the elves, humans, and orcs had signed a peace treaty, it was difficult to predict the hearts of the people, so they had to be on guard.
Sigh, alright.
‘Since you’re courting death, I’ll let you have a taste of my new move.’
This was a powerful move that he had learned from the Codex of the Undead. As he whispered, “Black Flame Rampage!”
In the next moment, the Dark Elements in the air surged and formed a raging energy ball. It was like a huge black dragon as it flew towards Bajeel.
“Bang! Bang!”
Amidst the loud explosion, Bajeel, who was a High-level Level 8 Swordsman, did not even have the time to react. Even the person behind him was reduced to ashes.
Dubeeca’s eyes widened. “High Mage! You are actually a Level 3 High Mage!”
Looking at Bagel, who had turned into charcoal in an instant, Dubeeca’s eyes were about to crack.
He had also been hiding among the elves for a period of time, so he knew about Chris’ situation somewhat.
A young elf that was not even 14 years old was now a High Mage that was proficient in dark magic!
The point was that he was only 14 years old now. Even the Lich King who almost overthrew the sacred continent back then could not compare to his terrifying talent.
Dubeeca did not hesitate and immediately turned around to escape.
The further the better.
After transforming into an elf, he was no match for Chris at all.
Unfortunately, Chris was a man of two lifetimes and was not a young elf.
Just as they were breaking the Magic Formation, Chris had already set up a magic trap around them.
Dubeeca was scared out of his wits and ran away in a panic. He touched Chris’ magic mark and was caught off guard. One of his arms and one of his legs was blown off on the spot.
He screamed in pain and looked at Chris, who had a calm expression on his face. He said anxiously, “I didn’t want to kill you. Please let me go. I won’t tell anyone about you.”
Although he said that, he had already planned to tell everyone about Chris.
A young elf actually knew the legendary dark magic! Not only did he want you to die, but he also wanted the elves to be destroyed.
Chris directly threw out a dark magic spell.
He was not a newbie. Having lived two lives, he was more mature. He would not risk his future just to beg for mercy.
“Boom!”
Destructive force slammed into the ground, leaving a deep hole. Dubeeca managed to dodge it.
Dubeeca stared at Chris angrily and said, “Damn kid! I’ll fight you to death.”
The surroundings were set up with traps. There was no way for him to escape.
Chris obviously would not let him go.
Dubeeca took out the potion and poured it into his mouth. He said viciously, “Kid, feel the power of a Saint-level mage!”
The moment the potion entered his mouth, the terrifying power on Dubeeca’s body increased.
High Mage, Sorcerer, Archmage. In less than a breath’s time, Dubeeca’s cultivation, which was suppressed by the secret potion, recovered instantly.
Even his appearance, which was that of an elf, changed to that of a human.
“Great Fire Element, please listen to my summons and let out your fiery roar! Saint-level Forbidden Spell!” Dubeeca roared crazily.
Intense fire elements took up half the sky and gave off powerful energy.
Feeling the violent fire elemental energy in the air, Chris muttered, “This is the power of the forbidden spell?”
His gaze was slightly expectant. After logging in for half a year, he had many trump cards in his hands.
Even if a Saint-level powerhouse came, he was confident that he could kill the other party.
However, the trump card to kill the Saint-level powerhouse could only be used once.
Chapter 6: That’s It? Saint-level Forbidden Spell?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“O’ great Fire Element, please hear my call and release your fiery roar. Saint-level forbidden spell, bring down the Heavenly Flame, destroy everything.”
Dubeeca was in high spirits. The Fire Elements of the world began to rumble as he chanted.
Half of the sky was covered by dense Fire Elements. More and more magic elements gathered in the sky and gradually turned into a violent fire dragon.
“Is this the power of a Saint-level forbidden spell?”
Chris looked at the terrifying yet majestic changes that were happening up in the sky. All the fine hairs on his body stood from the stimulation of the Fire Elements.
Despite that, Chris’ expression remained calm, and there was a hint of anticipation seen in his gaze.
He had accumulated several trump cards in the short half a year since he started to check in.
Defense, offense, rampage, he had everything one could ask for.
It was like the transfer manikin that was awarded when he checked in, where he just needed to carve a magic formation on the manikin, and through the magic formation, he could transfer any attack below Saint-level without hurting himself.
Among these trump cards, Chris still had one ace card. Not just Dubeeca, even if a true Saint-level powerhouse arrived, Chris was confident enough that his opponent would not stand a chance of surviving.
“Come on, let me see how strong a Saint-level is.” Chris was surging with a fighting spirit as he stood at the same spot.
Spit…
Nobody expected that in the next moment, Dubeeca, who was casting a forbidden spell, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“No, no, what’s going on? Why did my power disappear? I haven’t broke through Saint-level yet. I don’t believe it, my powers, damn it…”
Dubeeca appeared like a mad man while his powers continued to drain away, looking as if he was a kid who had been deceived.
“Holy King, you lied to me. This potion can’t help a person break through Saint-level. Ah… damn it!”
Dubeeca let out an angry roar.
Without the support of the powerful potion, his face became hideously painful.
A forbidden spell was not something that an ordinary person could use. Without a strong core and great magic cultivation, the person misusing the forbidden magic would receive backlash of great force. His blood vessels would shatter one by one, his skin would crack inch by inch, and even his bones, which had been strengthened by magic, would release crackling sounds as they fracture one by one.
Dubeeca fell from the sky covered in blood. His eyes gradually dimmed.
“That’s it?” The corner of Chris’ mouth twitched.
His fighting spirit that was rising earlier extinguished the moment he looked at the remaining sparks that scattered across the sky.
“I originally wanted to witness the legendary Saint-level forbidden spell, but this is what you showed me. I might as well buy 100-shots-fireworks to watch. It’ll still be much more worth watching than your performance.”
While Chris was showing his disdain, his ears twitched at some sounds.
“The guards are here.”
Chris immediately turned around and returned to the wooden house the moment he sensed it through his magic.
To create an alibi, he deliberately cast a sleeping spell on himself to cover up.
Two to three minutes later, a team of fully-equipped elf guards with magic bows on their backs rushed over and quickly sealed off the scene.
The old elf Norton came along with the patrol team.
Along with them were also two other elf elders.
Unlike the two elf elders who came to check on the sealing magic formation of the Moon Well, Norton rushed into Chris’ tree house as soon as he arrived. He was only relieved when he saw that Chris was safe and sound.
“It looks like a big battle just happened here.”
“There is the aura of dark magic in the air, and the corpses on the ground belonged to those Hunters of the human race!”
The elves appeared disgusted at the mention of these Hunters as they did not have any good impression of them. Many of their brothers and sisters had been captured in the past until the Elf Queen rose against pressure before the situation could finally be in control.
“Ah, look, there is a strange person here. Half of his body is an elf and half of his body is a human.”
Dubeeca, who was half-human and half-elf, quickly attracted the attention of the elves.
Especially the forbidden spell that had painted most of the sky in red earlier.
Wharton and the other elves’ faces immediately turned solemn.
“Rufael’s skull has been stolen. This matter concerns the wellbeing of the Sacred Continent. We must immediately report it to the Elf Queen,” Wharton said.
…
Inside the meeting hall of the elves.
This was where the Elf Queen would discuss the important matters of the clan with the other elders.
Leisurely seated at the highest position in the meeting hall at this moment was a beautiful female elf. Her aura was imposing enough even when she had not shown anger. She was the decision-maker of the elves, the Elf Queen.
Situated below her were the elf elders with faces full of solemnity.
Rufael’s skull had been stolen. This matter concerned the safety of the entire continent.
“This mysterious man, who is half-human and half-elf, is a spy sent from another force to infiltrate us. It looks like the information we obtained from the humans previously were true.”
Another unknown force had infiltrated the elf tribe.
“Inform the Ten Kingdoms and the Orc Kingdom that a mysterious force has stolen Rufael’s skull. There is a possibility that they may be the remnants left behind by the Lich King.”
The Elf Queen slowly stood up, her gaze was cold.
“Also, take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of all the elf traffickers wandering around the outskirts of the Heavenly Night Forest.”
“Yes, my queen. We will do it immediately.”
All these years, she had chosen to turn a blind eye in attempts to preserve the delicate relationship with the humans as she did not want to disrupt the balance of the three powers.
Now, it was a good opportunity to wipe out all these despicable Hunters.
About half an hour later, the meeting ended. The elf elders left the meeting hall one after another, making arrangements for the tasks given to them.
The Elf Queen asked Norton to stay back. “Is Chris okay?”
“Don’t worry, my queen. The child is fine. He’s just been cast with a sleeping spell.”
She finally felt at ease after hearing Norton’s reply.
“There are still plenty of mysteries surrounding the theft of Rufael’s skull. Why was there a fire battle? What was with the forbidden spell in the sky? Why did it stop midway?
“We had no clue at all.
“However, I had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it looked.”
Norton realized it as soon as the Elf Queen finished speaking, and said, “Don’t worry, my queen. I have already secretly dispatched some elves. If the other party dared to appear, they would be in for a one-way trip.”
“Hmm, I’ve never worried about your capabilities to handle something.” The Elf Queen then worriedly said, “but I’m afraid that the child would be in danger if he continues to stay in the Moon Well.”
Norton said, “I’ve already made arrangements. Few days later, I’ll have him move to clean up the altar. There’s a defensive magic formation left behind over there by our ancestors.”
That was the safest place for all elves.
It was also close to the Ancient Tree of Life.
“Ancient Tree of Life?” The Elf Queen was slightly stunned.
Norton stroked his beard. “That child seems to enjoy reading. He has read all the old scrolls left behind by the previous Moon Guardians. The Ancient Tree of Life contains precious book collections by generations of elf elders depicting past wisdom and experiences. I think he’ll be very happy when he finds out about it.”
Chapter 7: The Mysterious Man Attacks
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Even if he can’t cultivate his magic powers, it’s also a good option for him to be a sage who gains knowledge from books,” the Elf Queen said.
She subsequently expressed guilt in her expression. “Back then, my sister entrusted this child to me, asking me to take good care of him, and yet I don’t even know that he likes reading.”
“Don’t blame yourself, my queen. You are responsible for the future of the elves. Many things are out of your control.”
“As long as I am here, you can rest assured about that child.”
“Thank you, Uncle Norton.”The Elf Queen had addressed him as “Uncle Norto
n” which unlocked Norton’s long-forgotten memories. “I watched you and Miele grow up. Miele wasn’t just your biological sister because I have always treated her as if she was my biological daughter.”
“Chris is Miele’s only child. Naturally, I will treat him well.”
The Elf Queen’s gaze gradually became sorrowful upon hearing that.
Norton patted her shoulder. He understood the pressure she had to shoulder for the elves.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You are the Elf Queen and the leader of our elves. You must be strong. You must not let others see your weakness, nor should you shed tears easily.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Norton.” The Elf Queen let out a sigh before she returned to her solemn and dignified poise.
“The Ruhr skull is missing. The peaceful days for the elves are coming to an end. We must make preparations early.”
The Elf Queen and Norton looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes. They were determined to protect the elves at all costs.
…
The news of Ruhr’s skull being stolen quickly spread to the Ten Kingdoms and the Orc Kingdom.
While the three forces were frantically searching for it, they would never have thought that the mysteriously missing Ruhr’s skull was kept by Chris in the system’s storage space.
After the elders left, an assigned team of guards were left there to briefly inquire Chris on what happened after he had woken up.
Unfortunately, they did not expect that Chris was involved with what happened in the Moon Well.
Who would have thought that Chris, who had not been able to cultivate half a year ago, would surpass the decades of hard work of others in such a short period, from a Level 1 Magic Apprentice, leaping across a few levels to a Level 3 Sorcerer.
Such a rapid increase in cultivation was beyond their knowledge and did not fit into the consensus of magic cultivation.
Moreover, there was another important reason.
The elves yearned for peace and freedom. The skills they cultivated would not have much destructive power. There was no record of any elf practicing dark magic that was famous for its brutality because they hated it very much.
Besides, Chris had also received a notice informing him of his transfer to clean the Elder’s Altar.
He had been checking in at Moon Well for half a year now and the rewards received were getting lower and lower, especially over the past half a month where he only received items that merely work to assist his cultivation.
If it was not because he was halfway through researching the magic skills for Codex of the Undead, he would have hurried over to check in that instant.
Nightfall.
Chris ended his meditation. His magic cultivation upgraded again after an entire afternoon.
He was now a Level 5 Sorcerer.
As his level increased, the wonders of the Body of Nature began to work, and Chris did not experience any bottleneck as he leveled up. He only needed to absorb power through his meditation, and once he had enough power, he would be able to level up.
He did not share the same worries as all the other mages. For example, the old elf, Wharton. He had been stuck in the position as a Level 9 Archmage for over a hundred years and still had not achieved any breakthrough.
Chris was completely different. He did not need opportunities nor did he need to fully grasp. As long as he had enough power, he could naturally achieve a breakthrough.
This was the power of the Body of Nature.
Not only that, but the Body of Nature was also capable of increasing one’s power. For example, when comparing two equal Level 5 Sorcerer, the mage who had the Body of Nature, was two to three times stronger regardless of the speed or power.
All in all, the magical effects of the Body of Nature were being revealed one by one.
Chris, who had received the notification, lightly packed up and followed the elf who had come to inform him, over to the Elder’s Altar.
“Is this the place where the elves worship?” The Elder’s Altar was much larger than the Moon Well. Looking from afar, it looked like a huge ravine.
In terms of architectural style, the elves added a lot of natural elements and the god of the forest’s sculptures everywhere. There were all kinds of strange plants growing around the altar. The elements here were way more active than those at the Moon Well.
“This place may not give me as much freedom as Moon Well, but it’s still considerably serene.” Chris looked around. Other than having more frequent patrols by the guards, it was still a good place for cultivation.
“I wonder what good things I will get after leaving the Moon Well and checking into the Elder’s Altar.”
Chris was a little expectant as he opened the system interface. “Checking in to Elder’s Altar.”
“Ping! Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in to Elder’s Altar. System Reward: Miracle of Life.”
After checking in for more than half a year, Chris was no longer a newbie like he used to be as he instinctively looked over at the system’s description panel.
The Miracle of Life was a precious inheritance left behind by the god of life. It recorded all the life magic that could be found on the Sacred Continent, along with plenty of forbidden spells.
Bringing back the dead was not a problem for those who attained the highest level of cultivation.
“Hiss!”
Seeing this, Chris inhaled a breath of cold air.
“As expected, the system’s reward is awesome whenever we change to another place.” After a short moment of surprise, Chris suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to study the Miracle of Life.
Over the next few days, other than meditation, he spent the rest of his time studying the Codex of the Undead and the Miracle of Life.
As for cleaning the altar, that was just Elder Norton’s cover to protect his well being. Up until now, they still had not found out who was responsible for what happened at Moon Well, which meant that danger was still lurking around.
Of course, nobody knew that Chris was already a Level 5 Sorcerer.
He had plenty of trump cards in his hands that even if a Saint-level powerhouse attacked him, he would not be afraid at all and instead could even kill him.
Chris did not want to expose himself so quickly as he wanted to secretly work hard and shock everyone.
At the very least, he had to break through Saint-level first.
If the Moon Well could rely on magic formation to remain spotless, what more the resting place for the ancestors of the elves.
There was no need for Chris to clean it at all, however, Chris would occasionally pick up the broom and put on an act so as not to be called incompetent.
As time went on, a month had passed.
Chris’ power rose rapidly, and he had achieved to become a Level 9 Sorcerer.
He had merely studied the Codex of the Undead and Miracle of Life where he obtained strong breakthroughs and comprehension.
Just a few days ago, a major event had happened for the elves. The Moon Well was once again visited by an uninvited guest.
This time, the intruder even injured the elders of the elves. In the end, it was the Elf Queen who stepped in and forced the intruder to retreat.
However, this mysterious person’s strength was also extremely powerful. He was on par with the Elf Queen and was also a Saint-level powerhouse.
After that incident, Chris could feel the increasing threat of danger, and he needed a breakthrough to Saint-level as soon as possible.
Chapter 8: Grasping the Power of Laws
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nightfall.
Chris continued to meditate in the wooden house.
Suddenly, he felt the magical elements of the world surging rapidly, and a clear and crisp sound was heard coming from his body.
“What’s going on? The magical elements in my body have gone out of control?”
Ever since Chris obtained the Body of Nature, his cultivation had been smooth-sailing, and he had never been out of control.
His fingers slightly outlined his surroundings to set up a Soundproof Magic Formation around him, cutting off the connection between the wooden house and the outside world.
At this moment, an increasing number of magic elements surrounded him as they approached him with joy.
Buzz!
A crisp sound suddenly came from inside his body.
The next second, Chris’ body was suddenly suspended in the air. He could see with his naked eyes the magic elements surrounding him as they frantically surged into his body, flowing into his limbs, muscles, and bones.
The power in Chris’ body was continuously tempered and solidified under the impact of the magic elements.
It was as if he was a piece of steel, constantly being compressed under the pressure of external forces, reaching the level of being tempered repeatedly.
Although he had the same feeling when he broke through to become a Sorcerer back then, it was not as intense as it was now. His body seemed to be torn apart by the impact of the magic elements. The difference compared to before was that his body became firmer.
This process lasted for half an hour.
Chris was still suspended mid-air when he suddenly felt a burning sensation between his brows.
A mysterious light flickered as if something was about to appear.
An ancient Mystical Rune gradually appeared, but he could tell from its looks that the rune was not complete.
As time passed, the second piece, third piece, and fourth piece…
Finally, these Mystical Runes were all displayed. They rotated a few times between his brows and gradually fused to become a single Magical Rune.
Suddenly, the surrounding magic elements seemed to have lost control and entered a Mystical Trap.
Chris felt the trap shook, and the Magic Energy in his body increased by more than ten times. Colorful dotted lines circulated in his body, connecting to his muscles and bones.
“I successfully grasped the Power of Laws as a Level 3 Sorcerer!”
Since Chris’ arrival at the Elder’s Altar, he would go to the Ancient Tree of Life during his free time to study the magic books that recorded precious notes and tips left by the elf ancestors.
It was carefully recorded that a mage would only be able to condense the Band of Law in their body after breaking through to an Archmage.
There was no record of a Sorcerer being able to condense the Band of Law in the entire history of magic.
“I wonder how much my Dark Magic and Life Magic will be strengthened with the Power of Laws?”
Chris left the wooden house alone with much curiosity.
The Power of Laws had powerful benefits. Not only did it have a bonus effect from the magic that was cast, but it was also not restricted by environmental factors.
A mage needed to rely on the magic elements stored in their body to resonate with the wandering magic elements in the world to release their magic when casting spells.
If one was a water mage, the resonance effect would be weakened in the desert thus the magic power cast would also be relatively weaker.
On the contrary, the power would also increase in a place where the Water Element gathered.
With the Power of Laws, there was no such disadvantage. The same magic effect could be cast at any moment and any place.
Soon, Chris arrived at a cave.
This place was accidentally discovered by Chris while he was strolling around.
The surroundings were covered by vines, and the guards would not usually come here. It was quite secluded and was a good place to experiment with magic.
Chris first tried a few basic magic, then Dark Magic, and Life Magic.
Sure enough, with the aid of the Power of Laws, the power of the magic being cast was not only much stronger, but the consumption was also greatly reduced. It was only one-tenth of what it used to need.
“No wonder the Ancient Tree of Life’s handbook said that a mage who has the Power of Laws in his body can be considered a true magic expert.”
With his current strength, his range of sensation was about fifty meters. As his strength increased, his range of sensation would become wider.
Chris looked at the distant sky and said in anticipation, “I wonder how wide the range of sensation would be when I reach Saint-level.”
Then, Chris continued to test a few large-scale spells in the cave before he prepared to leave in satisfaction.
At that moment, he heard the sound of some footsteps coming from outside.
“Could it be that my voice was too loud just now and attracted the guards?”
Chris frowned slightly and hid behind a huge rock.
Just as the Soundproof Magic Formation was set up, the footsteps that were approaching stopped.
“Eh? It’s not the guards?”
The person who came was a female elf. She wore light green clothes and was slowly walking into the cave.
Although the light at the entrance of the cave was dim, it still could not block her beautiful and proud figure.
As she took each step further into the cave, he could finally see her beautiful face with exquisite features as beautiful as a painting, and her snow-white skin. It was as if even the ultimate language in the world could not begin to describe this beautiful face.
“It’s her, the genius elf, Alice.”
Chris recognized her in a single glance.
All of the elves knew that she had reached Level 6 Sorcerer at the young age of 20 years old.
It was very obvious that she had not discovered Chris’ existence. She had only set up a simple Shielding Magic before she began her cultivation in the cave.
“Life Magic?”
Chris had been studying the Miracle of Life for the past few days. He had already recognized it the moment she began her meditation.
Because she was the next Saintess, Alice’s magic attributes had been kept strictly confidential, where the information was only known by the Elf Queen and a few elders.
The other elves’ knowledge about her was just limited to her beautiful appearance.
Other than a few large ceremonies within the community, ordinary elves would not have seen her often.
“Hmm? Is there something wrong with her Life Magic?” Chris had been studying the Miracle of Life for a long time thus he knew a thing or two.
When Life Magic was cast, it would give others a feeling as if everything was rejuvenated and full of vitality.
It should feel like the spring breeze, but Alice’s Life Magic gave others a stubbornly strong and overbearing aura that completely went against the essence of Life Magic.
Just as he was still feeling puzzled, he suddenly noticed the white electric arc around her fingertip.
“How is this possible? How can a person carry two types of Magic Elements?”
The electric arc just now belonged to Lightning Element Magic. The general knowledge was that ordinary mages could only absorb one type of Magic Element. Even if it was a branch from the same type of Magic Element, the two would still not be compatible.
This was the knowledge made known across the continent.
A mage who wanted to fuse two types of magic was either a genius or a lunatic!
Chapter 9: Amalgam Twin Magic
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Despite having plenty of geniuses across the continent, he had never heard of a mage who could fuse two types of Magic Elements.
Alice did not have any natural elements in her body and could not convert magic elements, so how did she do it?
“Could it be… hiss…”
Chris suddenly remembered that he had read a handbook from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.
There was a vague description of a situation and it went something like this.
A mage’s wife was pregnant with twins.
Because one of the fetuses failed to develop and became a dead fetus inside the womb.
For some unknown reason, the talent of the dead fetus was transferred to the surviving child.
It did not end there. When the child grew up, he could cultivate two types of magic skills without any elemental conflicts or loss of cultivation.
This kind of person was also known as the “Amalgam Twin Magic.”
“No wonder the elders would hide her magic attributes. If such physique and talent were made known to all, it would bring unnecessary trouble to the Elves.”
While Chris was exclaiming in surprise, he also noticed that there was something wrong with this elf Saintess’ body.
“Although her Amalgam Twin Magic allowed her to cultivate two different types of magic, the Lightning Attribute was destined to have a physique that far surpasses that of the Life Magic.”
If it was under normal circumstances, it would have been fine.
The thing was, she was in a hurry to achieve her goal thus she used her Lightning Attribute Magic to forcefully support Life Magic to a higher level.
In this situation, it was equivalent to pumping gas into a 300 ml container more than it could contain. Not only would it not achieve the expected effect, but she would end up hurting herself.
While Chris was thinking about it, he saw Alice’s magic aura became chaotic, her face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Why? Why is the progress of my Life Magic so slow? Our Elf tribe is going through some major changes, but as the Saintess of the Elf tribe, I can’t help at all. I’m so useless.”
Alice’s eyes were bloodshot, and tears of self-blame rolled down her cheeks.
It had been almost half a year since Chris had transmigrated into the Elf tribe.
Although he had yet to see his aunt, he could feel her care for him from the small details in his daily life.
Elder Norton also made Chris feel the warmth of having a family in this foreign land.
Alice was the Saintess of the Elf tribe, and she carried the future and hope of the Elf tribe on her shoulders.
He did not want to see Alice go through any accidents or failure which may result in more trouble.
After all, he still wanted to continue checking in among the Elf tribe to receive continuous rewards.
“I’ll consider it as giving her a good fortune.” Chris had already come up with an idea for Alice’s problem.
Lightning Attribute Magic came first, and Life Magic came later. As long as he helped her improve her life magic, the two magic would achieve balance, then the problem would be solved.
“But how do I help her?” Chris thought.
That was a problem. He could not reveal his cultivation now, so how could he solve her problem?
“I got it!”
Chris took out an incense burner from the system storage and lit it. Then, a strange fragrance gradually filled the entire cave.
Alice sniffed and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance in which she soon lost consciousness.
Chris came to the side of the unconscious Alice and said, “Youngster, let’s meet in your dream.”
“What’s going on? Wasn’t I cultivating in the cave?” Alice looked around the remote island which was surrounded by sea waters. Doubt flashed across her beautiful eyes.
She remembered that she was cultivating in the cave but because she was impatient, the magic power in her body flowed backward, and she almost suffered from Magic deviation.
Subsequently, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and lost consciousness.
In the next moment, she realized that she was on this island.
There were no plants or animals on the island. It was covered in endless yellow sand as far as the eyes could see. Other than the barren mountain land, there was only desolation.
“So this is your inner world.”
At this moment, a strange man’s voice was heard from behind Alice.
“Who is it?” Alice’s expression changed.
Golden electric arcs flickered at her fingertips and instantly turned into over ten streams of light, attacking the black shadow behind her from different directions.
However, Alice was stunned at the next moment.
Unknown to her, a black wall had appeared behind her out of nowhere.
The electric arcs struck the black wall, but they were fully absorbed as if they had fallen into the sea without causing any ripples.
Alice was stunned. She had adequate confidence in her Lightning Element magic, but her pride was shattered at that moment.
Just as she was beginning to doubt herself, some golden words appeared on the pitch-black wall.
“This is a magic incantation!” Alice glanced at it and her gaze froze.
“It’s about Life Magic.”
In that short one minute, the backlash that Alice experienced after she had forcefully pushed her vitality earlier was reduced quite a bit.
Not only that, the speed at which she maneuvered her Life Magic had increased when it had always been suppressed by the Lightning Attribute Vitality.
Her body had undergone subtle changes, and Alice was completely shocked.
This was too amazing!
It did not cross her mind to think about what was happening right now. She immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started cultivating according to the incantations on the wall.
Issues arising from the Amalgam Twin Magic and the Lightning Attribute Vitality had been troubling her for a long time.
Although having the Amalgam Twin Magic could allow her to practice cultivation techniques of two different attributes, there was an obvious limitation present, which was that the two attributes of magic had to be in balance with each other.
Because of that, Alice had been suppressing her Lightning Attribute Magic all these years.
She had also looked up a lot of information, but she had not been able to find any solution. Over the past few months, the Elf tribe had experienced one change after another.
As the next Saintess, Alice was called to shoulder the fate of the Elf tribe. She wanted to be of help to the Elf Queen as soon as possible, to share the pressure of defending the elves, that was why she forcefully pushed her Life Magic to progress but she ended up with a backlash.
Now with the help of the incantations on the wall, she felt that the wounds she received earlier to her body were gradually improving.
Even the Life Magic that she had not been able to improve earlier had begun to grow rapidly.
“What kind of incantations is this? How can it easily solve the problems that even the Elf Queen and elders couldn’t solve?”
Alice had a feeling that someone out there was helping her, but she did not know who that person was.
She thought about it but had no direction of where to solve this mystery. She bent her knees and knelt toward the wall with a plop.
“In the name of the Forest Goddess, I, Alice, will always remember your great kindness dear senior, and never dare to forget it. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will do it without hesitation.”
Just a few words on the wall had solved the problem that had troubled her for many years.
Alice felt that this senior who had secretly helped her was as valuable as a god in the sky.
“As I have expected from the incredible genius of the Elf tribe. I merely wrote a few sentences that were lost in translation from the Miracle of Life on the wall, and she could quickly comprehend it.”
Chapter 10: Magic Fusion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Out of all types of magic, Life Magic was the most gentle and kind form of magic. Alice was in a hurry to achieve her goal thus she used her strong Lightning Attribute Vitality, which was already going against the true meaning of Life Magic.
The incantation that Chris’ gave just now could help her alleviate the backlash and strengthen her foundation.
As long as she continued to practice according to this incantation, not only would she be able to alleviate the injuries in her body, even the problem with her Amalgam Twin Magic would disappear accordingly.
That was not all. The speed of her Life Magic cultivation would also increase.
“The matter has been resolved. It’s better to leave as soon as possible. The amount of the Soul Permeation Incense given by the System Rewards would reduce over time. ” Chris looked distressed.
When Alice woke up, she was already back at the cave.
Looking at the pitch-black cave, Alice’s eyes were filled with surprise.
“Had everything that occurred earlier been just a dream?” Alice got up from the ground and checked her body’s condition.
“My body’s condition has improved. Everything that happened just now wasn’t a dream. It did happen!”
Soon, Alice was filled with astonishment that could be seen in her gaze.
After the astonishment calmed down, she was then filled with endless doubts.
Who was the senior who helped her?
Alice still did not have any answers despite pondering for a long time.
On the other hand, Chris hid around as he carefully returned to the wooden house.
The Soul Permeation Incense not only had the effect of causing someone to fall asleep, but it could also allow the user to completely control the other party’s dream.
So Chris did not need to worry about what the other party would detect from the dream.
“I’ve tortured myself for the whole night. I’m so tired. I’d better go to bed early! I still have to go to the Elder’s Altar first thing in the morning to clean it!” Chris stretched his body and fell asleep on the bed without further ado.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Chris arrived at the Elder’s Altar and was about to use a broom to sweep the floor.
He happened to bump into the Saintess, Alice, who had just returned from the cave at the back of the mountain.
“Did this girl cultivate in the cave all night?” Chris was shocked and greeted Alice.
“Hello, Saintess!”
“Oh, hello!” Alice responded without raising her head as she walked past Chris.
However, after a few steps, Alice seemed to have noticed something,
She suddenly turned around and stared at Chris’s back.
She was sure that the fragrance was the same as the one she smelled in the cave yesterday.
While her heart was in turmoil, Alice quickly shouted at Chris, “You, stop right there and turn around slowly!”
“Saintess, do you have any instructions?”
As Chris slowly turned around, Alice’s gaze hovered on him. ‘It’s him.’
The former Saintess of the Elf tribe had a child with a human. It was a shock to the Elf tribe back then.
That was how Alice knew about Chris.
She was not about to give up, so she walked up to him and sniffed his clothes.
Although Chris was only fourteen years old, he was very tall. Especially the mature male scent emitted from his body that encroached around Alice.
“Strange, have I mistaken the scent?” Alice looked at Chris suspiciously before she denied her own thoughts.
“Senior’s methods are marvelous, how could he be from a child who hasn’t grown up?” Alice shook her head. “I must be too tired from training last night and was hallucinating.”
After she had sorted that problem, Alice waved her hand at Chris. “It’s nothing, go and do your work!”
“Alright! Saintess!”
Looking at Alice’s back as she left, Chris heaved a sigh of relief. “How could I be so careless? I had worn the same clothes that were stained with Soul Permeation Incense last night. If I hadn’t reacted quickly and used magic to cut off the surrounding air, my cover would have been blown by this little girl.”
Chris sighed at his own carelessness as he continued to clean.
Over the next few days, the entire Elf tribe returned to its usual serene days.
Ever since the mysterious person that barged in last time, nothing major had happened to the Elf tribe, Even the Hunters camping at the outskirts of the Heavenly Night Forest had been completely captured, thus there was no need to worry about the disappearance of the elves anymore.
In the past few days, apart from checking in every day, Chris spent the rest of his time studying the Codex of the Undead and the Miracle of Life.
Just having one of these two codex skills would mean having shockingly destructive magic.
Would fusing the two create even more powerful magic.
The two Magic Elements were antagonistic against each other just like water and fire that could not coexist, but Chris believed that there was nothing impossible in the world.
After a few days of research, Chris had achieved some small results. He even went back to the cave to test it out, and the results were quite satisfactory.
Whether it was regarding its power or its consumption, it was far less than using single magic.
This was just the result of the initial fusion. Chris was continuing his research, spending most of his time on that.
As for cultivation, he had progressed rapidly compared to the majority of the other mages. Only having powerful strength without a temperament that matched would not work. In the end, it might backfire instead.
Therefore, other than meditation, he would do some cleaning chores or visit the Ancient Tree of Knowledge to read books to enrich his mind and soul.
“Well, that girl is here to look for me again.” As if sensing something, Chris lit up the Soul Permeation Incense.
It had become a common occurrence for over half a year.
As if he had become her teacher. Whenever she encountered any problems in cultivation, she would come to look for him.
Fortunately, once the Soul Permeation Incense was used on a person once, it would leave a permanent spiritual imprint on that person.
No matter where Chris was, he just needed to lit the Soul Permeation Incense and he would then be able to enter Alice’s dream.
“Senior, you’re here. I encountered some problems in my cultivation. I would like to ask if Lightning Attribute Magic can be fused with Life Magic?”
It was a coincidence that she asked this question at the right time because Chris had recently grasped some insights regarding that matter while in meditation.
Ever since he had tested the powers of fused magic, his mind had been occupied by that matter and was getting more proficient in it.
If she had asked that question seven days earlier, Chris really would not have been able to answer it. Teaching Alice right now was no longer a problem.
“I asked the elders in the tribe. They were all shocked after hearing it and advised me not to try it so hastily.”
Alice had also looked up a lot of information, but the records in books were all very vague.
Ever since she received Chris’ incantation, Alice’s Life Magic had improved by leaps and bounds.
Even the injuries caused by forcefully pushing the Lightning Attribute Vitality to improve had been completely healed.
Not only that, Alice had cultivated to the ranks of Archmages.
This had shocked the Elf Queen and the elders. Even the extremely talented Elf Queen was in awe of Alice’s rapid progress which had far surpassed her younger self.
Only Alice knew that all of this was thanks to the mysterious senior.
If not for him, she would still be anxious about how to improve her Life Magic to the point where even if she had been injured at that time, she would continue to try in the future.
Her problem was simply an endless cycle that led to an obvious ending.
“This girl has finally wondered about the problems regarding magic fusion?” Chris was surprised when he heard Alice’s question.
Chapter 11: The Elf Queen’s Summons
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Alice’s talent in magic was one of the best even among the elves.
Not to mention, she also had a unique constitution in the history of magic. It would not be surprising at all if she was chosen as the Saintess of the elves.
However, the Amalgam Twin Magic was a double-edged sword. There were good sides to it and naturally, there were also bad sides.
It was necessary to keep the two types of magic advancing at the same time and maintain a relative balance.
Once this balance was broken, the advantage would become a burden. Alice had been deeply troubled by this in the past.
Even the Saint-level Elf Queen and the knowledgeable elders were helpless.
This kind of physique was too rare, appearing once in a blue moon. Alice, who had not been able to get rid of it all this time, was even more frustrated.
Furthermore, unsavory incidents were happening one after another in the elf clan. All the elves were becoming nervous.
As an elf, Alice was responsible for protecting the clan.
At this critical moment, not only could she not help, she became a burden instead.
Chris understood her situation.
She had shouldered all the responsibility on herself, giving herself too much pressure.
She had sealed off her inner world.
Therefore, when she first entered her dream, the image that appeared before her was of a desert island surrounded by the sea.
On the island, other than barren rocks, there was only desert sand. There were no plants or animals, and there was no life at all.
Now, however, ever since Alice had gotten rid of the hidden dangers in her body, her inner world had become richer.
In the scene around her, there was a dense forest with mountains and ancient trees. The small animals in the forest were chasing each other and playing to their heart’s content.
Alice stood in the middle of the forest, wearing a light green dress. Just by standing quietly, she exuded an ethereal and natural aura.
The butterflies around her seemed to have been attracted to her and danced around her.
Seeing this scene, Chris heaved a sigh of relief.
She was able to walk out of the desolation in her heart, break free from the shackles of fate, and overcome this obstacle. In the future, what awaited her would be the blue seas and azure skies.
These days, Chris had slowed down the speed of his meditation and put all his attention on the fusion of life and darkness.
After the initial fusion, a brand new magic form was born.
Chris was also very satisfied with the results of the test. After the fusion, the power of the magic had increased by dozens of times, and the consumption had also become one-tenth of what it used to be.
The fact that Alice could even think about fusing the different types of magic together was testament of her terrifying magical talent. Only by constantly breaking the rules could one become a true mage.
Very quickly, a dense line of words appeared on the wall.
These words described Chris’ experiences, insights, and some of the details and ideas regarding the fusion that he had come up with over the past few days.
Sure enough, under Chris’ guidance, Alice quickly entered the right state of mind. The questions that she did not understand before were now clear to her.
Soon enough, she had already understood the true essence of fusion magic.
“Sir, you truly are Alice’s fated benefactor. Of all the people Alice has met, you are definitely the most powerful and knowledgeable.”
The more she got to know him, the more Alice felt that this senior was mysterious and unfathomable. It was as if he was a god of this world, far beyond her understanding.
Even the Elf Queen, who had reached peak Saint-level, was not as knowledgeable as her senior.
He was probably the only person in the entire continent who could talk about the fusion in such detail.
Just as Alice was lost in thought, Chris had already exited her dream.
There was no other reason why he helped Alice so much. As the elf Saintess, Alice was the next Elf Queen. She had to be strong if she wanted to protect the entire elven race. Only then could Chris log in with peace of mind.
After he gave her this explanation, Chris’ understanding of the fusion magic became clearer.
He had a bold idea.
The path of fusion magic had just begun. The two types of fusion magic were already so terrifying and had such astonishing effects.
If all the attributes of the magic were combined, what kind of scene would it be like?
Chris was looking forward to it. He had the Body of Nature and was an all-elemental mage. This great idea would surely come true one day.
Putting this idea to the back of his mind, Chris withdrew from his meditation.
Just as he was about to comprehend the miracle of life, his sharp ears moved slightly.
“Someone is coming.” Chris immediately removed the defensive formation.
Two to three minutes later, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
There was a knock on the door outside, followed by a voice. “Chris, the Queen wants you to go to the Spring of Life. Someone is looking for you.”
Chris’ gaze paused. ‘The Elf Queen wants to see me?’
“Wait a moment, I’ll change my clothes. I’ll go right away.”
Soon, Chris, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the room.
The one who came to deliver the message was a female elf. Chris followed behind her and arrived outside of the Spring of Life.
There was a thick fog here, and the plants around were full of vitality. Compared to the outside, the vitality here was even more vigorous.
“This isn’t an ordinary fog. The Water Element here is too concentrated, so it condensed into a physical form.” Chris’ eyes flashed.
He had been in this world for more than a year, but this was the first time he had seen such concentrated Water Elements.
Forget the Moon Well, even the Elder’s Altar —the elves’ sacred land— did not have such a terrifying concentration of Water Elemental magic.
Through magic perception, he could tell that the deeper one went, the denser the Water Element became. It was even more terrifying than it was here, reaching the level of liquefaction.
Chris, who was sighing, suddenly paused. “No, this isn’t just the Water Element. It’s more like a combination of Water and Life.”
He carefully sensed it. He had been meditating on life magic for the past few days, so he was extremely familiar with the strange fluctuations of life magic now.
At this moment, the female elf in front of him paused.
“The Spring of Life is right in front of us. Please wait for a moment, I’ll go in and inform the Queen.” The female elf walked in.
After the female elf left, Chris passed through the thick fog and saw a clear blue spring in the distance.
Even from a distance, Chris could feel the vitality of the Life Element. It faintly resonated with his Body of Nature.
“This is the legendary Spring of Life?” Amidst his surprise, Chris remembered that he had yet to log in today.
He did not know what kind of reward he would receive if he checked in at the Spring of life.
“System, checked in: Spring of Life.” Chris’ eyes flashed with anticipation.
“Ding… Congratulations, host, the Spring of Life checked in successfully. You have received the log-in reward: Roar of Water!”
As per his habit, Chris glanced at the interface, his eyes bursting with excitement.
“Roar of Water! It’s a Water Element codex!”
In the past, when he was fusing magic, Chris had faintly felt that although Life Magic and Darkness Magic could fuse together, they could not reach a perfect state.
“Life Magic is a branch of one of the four basic magic elements, Water. The two might be able to reach a perfect state of balance.”
Chapter 12: The Terrifying Poison
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Life Magic and Water Magic were combined, the explosive power would definitely be even more astonishing.
Chris was excited and could not wait to try it out.
At this moment, the female elf who had gone to inform the Queen was already walking towards him rapidly.
“Go in, the Queen is waiting for you inside!” This time, the female elf didn’t go with him.
On the way to the Spring of Life, the Life Element here was more active. Clouds covered the surroundings of the forest.
In front of him, there was a wooden palace suspended above the Spring of Life. There were murals exclusive to the elves carved on it.
The door of the palace was open. From afar, Chris could see a seductive figure sitting on a futon.
This was his aunt whom he had never seen before, the queen of the elves.
At this moment, for some reason, Chris was a little nervous. His figure stopped in front of the palace.
From this angle, he could see that she was wearing casual clothes and sitting lazily with her eyes slightly closed. Compared to Alice, her appearance was more mature and dignified.
“Come in. Why are you standing outside?”Just as Chris was hesitating, an ethereal voice came from inside.
Chris stopped hesitating and entered the palace. The Elf Queen looked at him.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“There’s no one else here, you don’t have to be so restrained.” The Elf Queen looked at Chris, who had his head lowered, and patted the futon beside her. “Come on, come over here, let me take a good look at you.”
Seeing the Elf Queen’s caring gaze, the nervousness in Chris’ heart disappeared without a trace.
Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the Elf Queen grunt.
Then, a wave of pain suddenly appeared on her sacred face. Flashes of green swirled on her face.
Chris frowned. To think that the Elf Queen had been poisoned.
While the green gases swirled around her, the Elf Queen used her magic cultivation to resist the effects of the green gas.
However, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary poison. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the green gas.
“What kind of poison is this? It’s so overbearing that even a Saint-level powerhouse can’t get rid of it. Instead, she’s only suppressing it.”
Chris thought to himself with a worried expression on his face.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine after a short rest,” the Elf Queen said with a smile as she looked at Chris’ worried expression.
Ever since she fought with the mysterious intruder half a year ago, the Elf Queen had been poisoned. The secret medicine that the intruder had refined seemed to be specially used to deal with Saint-level powerhouses.
Even though the Elf Queen had the strength of a Saint-level fighter, she was unable to completely expel the poison from her body.
Thus, she used the Spring of Life to temporarily suppress the poison.
In order to prevent unrest among the other elves, only the Elf Queen and the few elders knew about this.
In recent days, however, the green gas had been erupting more and more frequently. They were beginning to realize that it could not be suppressed for long.
The Elf Queen had tried countless methods, but none of them were able to expel the green gas. She felt that her time was coming, and the poison would fully erupt in half a year at the earliest.
Therefore, she wanted to see Chris before the green gas erupted so she could arrange his affairs properly.
Even if she really returned to the embrace of the Nature God in the future, she could still meet her sister knowing that she had done her best.
“You’re going to be 15 years old soon, right?” The Elf Queen looked at Chris, who was sitting next to her, with a gentleness that had never been seen before in her eyes.
She looked like a mother beholding her own child.
“Yes, we’ll be fifteen this month,” Chris said.
The Elf Queen nodded. “I heard that you like reading. You often go to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.”
Chris did not hide anything from her. He read books to improve his horizons and inner cultivation.
“Very good. Robert from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge is a learned and wise sage. I want him to take you as his disciple. What do you think?”
Originally, the Elf Queen had planned to wait a few years before telling Chris about this decision.
However, due to the frequent outbreaks of the poison, she did not have much time left.
Therefore, she had to make a decision in advance.
The Elf Queen knew that she was the only elf this child could rely on.
Before her sister had passed away, she had personally left Chris in her hands.
“I know that this decision is a little rushed for you. But if you can become a sage, you will still earn the respect of the tribe even if you are unable to cultivate your magic.”
Chris could clearly feel the eagerness and anticipation in the Elf Queen’s eyes when she said this.
“But I heard that Robert doesn’t like strangers.”
When he went to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge to browse through books, he had seen the elf Robert that the Elf Queen had mentioned. He was a very strange person.
He did not dress up and had a strange personality. He was an old elf who was older than Wharton, and it was difficult to get along with him.
The Elf Queen could hear the concern in his voice. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already asked for Robert’s opinion, and he has already agreed. What I’m asking for now is your opinion.”
She stared fixedly into Chris’ eyes. Although she was helping Chris pave the way forward, he had to agree to it first.
Of course, the reason why the Elf Queen was so persistent was that if Chris went to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, becoming a sage would only be the worst-case scenario.
Aside from being a sage, Robert was also a powerful druid warrior. If Chris could obtain Robert’s approval and sign an ancient contract with him, even if this child could not cultivate in the future, he could still become a powerful warrior.
“A druid warrior?” Chris’ gaze paused as he recalled the records he had seen in the ancient scrolls.
The elves, together with the orcs and the humas, were known as the three great races of the Sacred Continent. That meant their heritage was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Apart from their natural talent in magic, druid warriors were also a powerful force in the hands of the elves.
It was a special training method that was completely separate from magic and combat aura. By signing a contract with a soul beast, one could obtain incredible strength.
The stronger your soul beast, the stronger you would be.
However, every elf could only sign a contract with a single soul beast in their lifetime. From the moment they signed the contract, they were your partner and your family.
Until the moment they died, they would never leave the owner of the contract.
“Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, the Lich King caused a riot. More than half of the elves’ druid warriors were killed or injured. Now, only Robert is left.”
The Elf Queen’s tone was somewhat desolate.
After all, that was also the battle in which the elves, as the strongest force, had fought bravely against the Lich King’s army. Most of their elites had suffered heavy casualties back then.
From then on, they had been unable to recover, gradually walking towards ruination. They were gradually surpassed by the humans and beasts.
Now, the Elf Queen was the only Saint-level powerhouse left, and even she had not recovered her strength to this day.
Although the elves were still ranked among the three great races, their status only remained in name. In addition, she had been poisoned and was in a difficult situation.
“I’ll go with whatever you say, my queen.”
Chris wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw the Elf Queen’s expectant gaze, he subconsciously agreed.
Chapter 13: The Eccentric Robert
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Chris’ nod, the Elf Queen gave him a beautiful smile.
“In the future, when there’s no one around, you can call me Aunt Miene!”As if sensing the surprise in Chris’ gaze, the Elf Queen smiled. “Your mother is my biological sister. It’s only right for you to call me Aunt.”
Before, the Elf Queen’s concern for Chris had been hidden behind a thin layer of fog. She could only secretly give him a nudge in the right direction every so often.
Now, however, the Elf Queen had completely torn off this veil and was openly expressing her affection for him.
Chris’ mind whirred. Was it because of the poison?
After thinking for a moment, he understood.
“Thank you, Aunt Miene.”
Hearing Chris call her Aunt Miene, the usually dignified and calm Elf Queen actually trembled slightly.
A happy smile appeared on her face.
Just then, however, the poison in the Elf Queen’s body exploded once again.
The Elf Queen hurriedly mobilized the magic elements in her body to suppress the poison.
On her forehead, a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out. Obviously, suppressing the poison was not that easy for her.
With her strength, she should not have been poisoned at all. However, the other party was too shameless. They had taken advantage of the moment when the Elf Queen was saving an elder to launch a sneak attack. That was how she had fallen prey to such a dangerous poison.
As the Elf Queen withdrew the magic elements, a palm gently rested on her shoulder. “Aunt Miene, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Chris’ caring words echoed in her ears. The Elf Queen felt a burst of warmth in her heart as she looked at his determined gaze.
“Silly child, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” the Elf Queen comforted him softly.
She could feel that Chris’ concern was real.
Ever since her sister passed away, she had almost forgotten how it felt like to have someone worrying about her.
As for what Chris said, she did not take it to heart. His intentions were enough.
After all, even she, a Saint-level powerhouse, was helpless against such a powerful poison. Chris was just a child who could not even cultivate.
What could he possibly do?
Most importantly, she did not want to see Chris doing anything that might hurt him for her sake.
What the Elf Queen definitely did not know was that Chris had already checked the poison in her body when he put his hand on her shoulder.
This poison was extremely overbearing. It adhered to a person’s flesh and blood like a bug, devouring the magic power in its victim’s body.
Chris frowned slightly.
‘If I only relied on the Life Magic that I had cultivated in the Miracle of Life, it would be very difficult to completely remove these magic elements. At most, I would only have a 50% to 60% chance of getting rid of them. The poison might even backfire on me. The risk is too great.
‘But if it was a Life Magic fused with Water Magic, completely removing Aunt Miene’s poison would be too easy.’
Chris did not say what he was thinking.
Even though he wanted to save her, he had to think of a safe way to do it without exposing himself.
After all, he still had to check in quietly with the elves!
After that, the Elf Queen chatted with him for a while, talking about frivolous matters of daily life. When it was about time, she signaled for Chris to go back.
“Remember, go to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge to look for Robert tomorrow. I’ve already informed him about you.” After Chris left, the Elf Queen stood up from the futon, her gaze cold.
“Inform Elder Norton. It’s time to make some preparations.”
There was no one beside her. It was as if she was speaking to the void, but a cold female voice came from the depths of the silence.
…
When Chris returned to the wooden house, he recalled Aunt Miene’s words and felt as if she had been making her final arrangements.
“Aunt Miene, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Chris had a determined look in his eyes.
He activated the Water Element magic he had received as a System Reward and began to study it.
Unlike the other magic elements, Water pervaded almost everything. It had all kinds of forms. It could be gentle and soft, or it could be fierce and overwhelming.
Perhaps that was the reason why Chris failed on his first try. Although he had experience with fusing magic, it was still difficult for him to control the changeability of Water magic.
After a few attempts, Chris finally succeeded.
A drop of clear and bright water jumped gently between his fingers. The color was azure, like a clear spring in the mountains.
This was the combination of Water Magic and Life Magic. Although it did not look particularly intimidating right now, Chris knew that this unassuming appearance was also a characteristic of Water Magic.
Just this small drop of water contained power that was no weaker than the dark energy he had fused before.
Now that the fusion was successful, Aunt Miene’s injury was no longer a concern. The biggest problem now was how to remove the poison in her body.
What method should he use?
Chris lay on the bed and shook his legs gently. He was stumped.
After thinking for an entire afternoon, he could not think of a better method, so he could only give up.
He could only wait for the opportunity.
The next morning…
Chris arrived at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge early in the morning.
The entire Ancient Tree of Knowledge was like a huge inverted basin. The branches that hung down fell over the building below, obscuring it completely. No one could so much as look inside.
Even though it was so huge, Chris knew that there was an even bigger tree in the elves’ settlement, the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Ancient Tree of Knowledge was like a sapling in comparison.
Chris could not imagine how huge the Ancient Tree of Life could be.
On the Ancient Tree of Knowledge’s trunk, there were densely-packed treehouses. They almost looked like a hornet’s nest. Below them were stairs covered in moss.
Chris walked up the stairs.
Soon, he arrived at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge’s management office.
He saw an old elf with sparse hair, the latter’s back facing against him. The skin on the elderly elf’s body was like dried bark. No one knew how long he had lived.
“Hello, Mr. Robert. The Queen sent me here to be an apprentice.” Chris broke the silence first.
“Oh, curses. Why didn’t you knock before coming in? You scared me so much that I almost shattered my glasses. They were given to me by an elder of the dwarves. If I broke them, do you know how long it would take to get to the dwarves from here?”
Robert mumbled. Six months.
Half a year. A round trip would take a year.
“Wait! Who told you to come here, the Queen?” Robert was stunned and quickly put on his glasses.
He looked at Chris and circled him a few times, saying suspiciously, “You’re Chris?”
“Yes, I’m Chris. The Queen asked me to come to you today.”
Chris was confused by his actions.
“Have we met somewhere before?” Robert searched his memories, long and hard.
His brows were furrowed together. His shriveled skin was sagging, and his frail body seemed as if he would fall at any moment.
However, Chris cautiously noticed that his gaze was sharp and bright.
Chapter 14: Transformation under the Moonlight
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“A few days ago, I borrowed two books from you.”
Chris reminded him, watching Robert’s eccentric reactions.
Robert slapped his thigh abruptly. “I remember now. You’re the elf who loves to read. No wonder the Elf Queen sent you here.”
As if he understood something, Robert waved his hand at Chris. “Come with me. From today onwards, you’ll be my apprentice, helping me take care of the books at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.
“Among the young elves, you are the one who comes here the most frequently.
“You have read most of the books on the first ten floors, right?”
Chris nodded. “Other than some special books, I have read most of them.”
“Okay, since you have read all of them, I won’t introduce them to you.” Robert brought Chris to the eleventh floor.
“This is a record of the elven elders’ experiences. Read more when you have time.”
After Robert finished speaking, he seemed to remember something. “I heard from the Queen that you don’t seem to have any talent in magic. However, these books can help you cleanse your mind, so there are still some benefits.
“Everything here is not open to the public.
“Therefore, you have to guard this place strictly.”
At this point, Robert’s voice paused. “Although you are an apprentice, you have to take responsibility. Every day, you must count and organize the books. If you are tired, I will allow you to rest for an hour and read the books.”
Robert brought Chris around to familiarize himself with the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, floor by floor.
Finally, they returned to the management office.
After he settled some matters, Chris began to organize the books. During his usual rest, he would read some of the elders’ experiences and anecdotes.
Thus, as time passed, Chris stayed in the Ancient Tree of Knowledge for three months.
During these three months, he read a lot of books and learned a lot of things.
His understanding of magic became more thorough.
In addition, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge also contained many secrets of the continent.
It also recorded many secrets from beyond the continent. In addition to the three main races, there were also the dwarves that Robert had mentioned when Chris first arrived at the management office.
This kind of immersion in the sea of knowledge made Chris feel particularly enriched and fulfilled.
Every day, there were different discoveries and different surprises.
This morning, Chris arrived at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge’s management office early as usual.
When he was sorting out the books, he was stopped by Robert who had just returned from outside.
“Chris, there’s no need to sort out the books for now. I’ll take you somewhere.”
Chris was slightly taken aback. He looked at Robert’s somewhat solemn gaze and followed him.
The two of them passed through the dense forest. Under Robert’s lead, the two of them came to a place that Chris was familiar with. It was the cave that grew at the back of the altar.
“Don’t just stand there. Quickly, follow me inside.” Robert was the first to enter the cave.
Chris followed behind. He looked around and saw the traces he left from back when he was experimenting with magic. His gaze was filled with doubt.
‘Why did Robert bring me here?’
“Do you see the pillar up ahead?” As Chris was musing away, Robert pointed at the stone pillar in the middle of the cave. His expression was solemn.
The stone pillar was more than ten meters tall. Its entire body was white and there was a mysterious mural carved on it. It seemed to be depicting a terrifying magical beast.
The beast’s body was covered in scales. It coiled around the pillar and held its head high. It stood at the top of the pillar, emitting a powerful and domineering aura.
Chris had noticed this stone pillar when he first came here.
At first, when he saw such an eye-catching pillar, he thought there would be something hidden inside. After probing it a few times, he failed to elicit any reaction from it.
Eventually, he gave up.
Now, under Robert’s lead, he saw this strange stone pillar again.
Could there be some secret hidden inside?
Chris sensed that this might be related to the druids that the Elf Queen had mentioned last time.
“You’ve stayed in the Ancient Tree of Knowledge for quite some time, and you’ve read a lot of books. You should have some understanding of the bloodline power of the orcs, right?”
Chris nodded in response to Robert’s question. “The orcs can’t cultivate combat aura, nor do they have any magic talent, but they have their own advantages. They have a strong physique and bloodline power. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger their strength.”
In the Orc Kingdom, orcs with Saint-level bloodlines were the most powerful existences. Their bloodlines were equivalent to human Saint-level powerhouses.
Hearing Chris’s answer, Robert nodded. “You’re right.”
“Actually, among us elves, we once had a bloodline training secret technique that was not inferior to the orcs’.”
“The elves had something like that too?” Chris did not expect that the elves had such a deep foundation.
He really had no idea about this because the books did not describe any of this in detail.
“Sigh!” Seeing Chris’ reaction, Robert sighed, as if recalling a distant memory, “A thousand years ago, we elves were the number one clan. We had established a powerful elven empire. At that time, our elven empire was the overlord of the continent.
“Later, the Lich King came into being. To defend against the undead army, our elven kingdom was torn apart.”
It was also during that battle that one of the elves’ most powerful forces was almost completely annihilated.
Chris suddenly remembered reading in one of the ancient scrolls that countless druid warriors had been killed or injured in order to stop the powerful undead army.
“Could this old man be a druid warrior?”
No wonder he could not sense any aura from Robert’s body.
Sure enough, just as Chris figured it out, Robert, who was standing at the side, suddenly roared. His hunched body made cracking sounds.
Under the weak moonlight, Chris could clearly see that Robert, who was hunched just a moment ago, had mysterious runes flashing all over his muscles.
In the blink of an eye, Robert had turned into a three-meter-tall monster with sharp teeth.
Chris was stunned.
However, after transforming, Robert did not realize how terrifying he was. He even made a few poses towards Chris from time to time.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was showing off his strong body.
Chris smiled awkwardly and said tactfully, “Um… Mr. Robert, can you change back first? I’m not used to your current state.”
Robert laughed twice, and his body began to shrink before returning to its original size.
Chris seemed dazed, so Robert thought that he was shocked by his overwhelming visage.
“Don’t envy me. In a short time, you’ll be like me, a glorious druid warrior.”
“Ah!”
Chris was stunned. ‘I’m a handsome elf, but you want to make me into a monster as ugly as you are?’
His heart refused.
Chapter 15: Chimera? The Elves’ Holy Beast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Chris shake his head, Robert obviously misunderstood.
Smiling, he patted Chris on the shoulder and comforted him. “Don’t feel inferior. Although your talent is slightly lacking, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to sign a contract and become a great druid warrior!”
“As long as a druid warrior doesn’t transform, he’d normally remain an elf. However, once he activates his transformation, he’d be able to erupt with powerful strength.
“He’d possess a bloodline power in no way inferior to that of an orc.
“Moreover, once a druid signs a contract, a beast soul would be born within his body. For example, my battle bear is a beast soul.
“The druid of the previous generation had signed a Jaguar Beast Soul. His speed was extremely fast, and his movements were like the wind.
“Depending on the beast soul you sign, you’ll obtain different abilities.”
Chris’ facial muscles twitched violently as he looked at Robert, who was talking non-stop.
‘I was clearly rejecting him, alright? I wasn’t feeling inferior, geez.’
However, Robert did not care about Chris’ thoughts at all. He grabbed Chris’ hand and pressed it against the white jade pillar.
“Almighty God, please listen to my summons. Bring blessings to your people so that we may become guardians of the forest…”
Chris did not even have time to react before Robert began chanting.
“I…”
Chris was completely stunned. ‘This isn’t my original intention at all.’
Just as he was about to pull his hand back, he noticed that the stone pillar in front of him suddenly emitted a blinding white light that sucked him in.
No way!
Chris’ face was filled with anxiety. He did not want to turn into something that was covered in muscles.
It was when he thought of Robert’s transformation. That half-man, half-bear monstrosity was like a nightmare that deeply tormented his soul.
However, Chris obviously did not notice the smile on Robert’s face.
“I, Robert, the last druid of the elves, have finally found a successor.”
In fact, when the Elf Queen first told him about Chris, Robert had still been a little resistant. After three months of observation, he changed his mind.
Chris was serious in his work and had a good attitude. Robert was very satisfied.
Of course, what truly cemented his decision was the intense natural aura surrounding Chris’ body.
“I have never seen an elf with such a strong natural aura. If he becomes a druid, he will definitely be the most powerful druid warrior in the history of the elves.”
Looking at Chris who was shrouded in the holy light, Robert had never felt so excited before.
The strength of a druid warrior, apart from the legacy of the previous generation, was the rich natural aura surrounding their body.
The stronger the aura, the more powerful the beast soul they summoned.
Robert was confident that Chris would definitely summon a powerful beast soul. With that, he would be able to protect all the elves.
“Look at this dazzling strength. Is it a falcon or a jaguar?”
He stared at the stone pillar, his eyes wide open, afraid that he would miss something.
Soon, images gradually appeared on the stone pillar.
“This is…”Robert was a little confused.
He saw a round, pebble-like thing appear on the stone pillar. In the middle of it, there were two rays of dim light.
“How strange. What kind of beast soul is this?” Before he could figure it out, the light on the stone pillar began to fade.
Chris was still an elf, his right hand pressed against the stone pillar. This strange situation made Robert even more confused.
“Why didn’t you transform? And what happened to the image that flashed just now?”
Robert was stunned. He had never seen such a strange situation before. He grabbed Chris and talked to himself as if he had gone mad.
Chris did not know why either, and their eyes met. Just then, something fell out of the stone pillar.
It was a stone egg the size of a basketball.
The scene in front of them stunned not only Robert, but Chris as well.
At this moment, with a crisp sound, the stone egg shook twice.
“Crack!” Before the two of them could react, the stone egg cracked open from the middle.
Then, the strange creature with two heads cried out twice in a childish voice.
The moment he saw the creature, Robert’s eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”
Chris did not know why Robert had such a big reaction. It was just an unknown creature, was it not?
“A chimera! It’s actually the legendary chimera, the holy beast of the ancient elves. I never expected to see a chimera again in my lifetime..”
Tears of joy filled Robert’s eyes, and even his entire body trembled violently.
He confirmed it over and over again, afraid that the scene in front of him was fake.
Once he was absolutely certain, he held Chris’ hand tightly and said excitedly, “Kid, how did you do it? You actually… actually summoned the legendary holy beast. God has blessed us elves.”
Robert’s gaze stared fiercely at Chris, causing him to feel goosebumps.
“I… I don’t know either!”
He only vaguely remembered that the moment his hand touched the stone pillar, there was a voice in his heart that repeatedly called out to him.
However, Chris, who was resisting in his heart, pretended not to hear it. In the end, he was really annoyed by the question and directly rejected it.
Immediately after that, an image that looked like a pebble appeared on the stone pillar.
Such a strange thing fell out of it.
Just as they were stunned for a moment, the figure in the stone egg opened its gem-like eyes and struggled to stand up.
It flapped its wings with all its strength, like a huge dragon with its wings open.
“The holy beast, the chimera, has descended upon the elves. O great god of the forest, there is hope for the revival of our race.”
If Robert could not be completely sure just now, then at this moment, he was completely certain.
This was the holy beast of the elves, the Two-headed Chimera.
“Coo-coo!”
The Two-headed Chimera called out in a babyish voice. Although it had not opened its eyes yet, it was very infatuated with Chris’ aura.
It was like a child who had just been born and was attached to its parents.
It flapped its small wings and climbed out of the stone shell. It grabbed Chris’ pant leg and climbed up.
Then, it hugged his thigh tightly.
Seeing this, Robert finally understood the reason why Chris did not transform into a druid.
“Kid, you summoned the holy beast of the elves, the Two-headed Chimera. And from the looks of it, it’s very infatuated with you. You must take good care of it.”
“This is a legendary existence that’s comparable to a giant dragon.”
Even Robert was a little envious of Chris’ luck.
The Chimera had just been born. Once it matured, it would be comparable to a Saint-level existence.
No, it was far beyond a Saint-level existence.
Chapter 16: Chimera’s Protest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chimera.
The elves’ auspicious holy beast. Since the Lich King’s chaotic reign a thousand years ago, the elves’ druid warriors were all either dead or injured.
Now, the elves only had Robert left.
It could be said that the druid warriors had already ceased to exist in name.
Over the years, the elves never had a druid warrior again, let alone summon the elves’ guardian of the Holy Beasts, Chimera.
Robert was faintly worried that the druid warriors of the elves would lose their bloodline.
When Chris started summoning, Robert was more nervous than anyone else.
He was already old. Perhaps in a few decades, he would return to the embrace of the God of the Forest.
At that time, the druids would truly become extinct.
When the summoning started, Robert was more nervous than anyone. This was a critical moment that concerned the survival of the druids.
When Chris did not transform, he was still slightly disappointed. Could it be that the druids were really headed toward extinction?
However, he did not expect the situation to change so drastically.
Chris, who did not possess any magical talent, had actually summoned the legendary Holy Beast, Chimera.
Robert was completely dumbfounded.
This was all thanks to the blessing of the God of the Forest. After multiple confirmations, Robert’s expression filled with delight.
“Kid, you really are the God of Luck for us elves. You are our hope, the hope of our resurrection.”
Robert patted Chris on the shoulder, laughing as his shriveled skin split open.
It seemed as though he had already witnessed the elves regain their glory from a thousand years ago.
Chris was startled by the bright twinkle in Robert’s eyes.
This gaze was a little wretched no matter how he looked at it.
This old man was a little odd!
Was it not just a summoning of a little creature?
There was no need to be so excited.
Chris looked at Chimera that was tightly clutching onto his pants. Its two little heads were raised and it met Chris’ gaze.
“Coo coo!”
Chimera purred in a skittish tone. Its pink little claws could not help but contract even tighter.
It began to climb up his pants, wanting to get closer to Chris. However, Chris, who did not have a good impression of this creature, would not allow it to do so.
He grabbed its little body and flung it away.
This utterly shocked Robert, who was standing at the side. He glared at Chris and was about to welcome Chimera back.
He was about to make a move when he saw Chimera return. It again tightly grabbed the corner of Chris’s shirt and made a cooing sound, as if it was protesting.
“Kid, what are you doing?”Robert roared at Chris.
“This is our race’s holy beast, a symbol of the elves’ strength. It is very attached to you now. You have to take good care of it, do you understand?”
Robert’s expression had never been so solemn. Chris felt a little helpless.
He grabbed Chimera and placed it on his shoulder. Although this tiny fellow was a little horrendous looking, it already acted that way. What else could he do?
Sensing Chris’ thoughts, Chimera cried out and cooed again as it waved its two little claws.
It seemed to be saying that it was not at all ugly.
Chris was shocked. Could it be that this little creature knew what he was thinking?
He had read about it in the books at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. After signing a beast soul contract, both parties could communicate telepathically.
Earlier, had he signed a beast soul contract with this little fellow?
On top of that, with the Holy Beast of the Elf Race, Chimera?
According to Robert, once this little fellow matured, he would be comparable to a human saint-level powerhouse. Was that true?
Judging from its seemingly fragile appearance, could that just be an exaggeration?
Who would possibly know. “Coo coo coo coo…” Chimera purred.
“Huff!”
One head spat flames, while the other spat a green liquid as if to show off its skills.
“Oh right, how could I forget this? Chimera had an innate talent. One head could spit flames capable of burning the world, while the other could spit venom capable of corroding everything.”
“It’s said that the flames and venom spat out by an adult Chimera could turn an ordinary sage-level powerhouse into ashes, even if they so much as touched a trace of it.”
Robert cracked a smile, but Chris did not think much of it.
The sparks produced by the little fellow just now were considered flames?
As for the venom that could corrode everything, it was clearly just two mouthfuls of saliva.
As he watched Robert brag, Chris sank into a bad mood.
This was a little too much.
Sensing Chris’ thoughts, Chimera protested again.
“Our elves actually summoned Chimera. This matter is of great importance. We must report it to the Queen immediately.” Robert glanced at Chris and brought him to the Spring of Life.
Chris once again returned to the place that he had just left not long ago.
However, both experiences were different.
This time, the Elf Queen’s face had become even more haggard.
Chris knew that he had to think of a way to get rid of the poison in his Aunt Miene’s body.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Robert and Chris bowed.
She knew that Robert had brought Chris to summon beast souls.
Chris would become a druid warrior, the poison in her body would erupt half a year later, and then she would return to the embrace of the God of the Forest.
Even if that were to happen, the Elf Queen would not feel that she had let down her younger sister’s trust, and would leave at ease.
This was the best outcome so far.
However, things did not seem to be going so smoothly at the moment.
As she saw Robert’s solemn expression, she sighed in her heart. Did it still fail in the end?
That was fine. It would be a good thing if he peacefully became a druid warrior.
Although he would not have great power, at least he would not have too many worries in the end.
Growing up happily was also a good choice.
Thinking of this, the Elf Queen said to Robert, “Mr. Robert, I’ll have to trouble you with matters relating to Chris.”
Robert was slightly stunned and quickly shook his head. What trouble was there? It was not troublesome at all.
Moreover, now that Chris had summoned the Holy Beast, Chimera, Chris’s value had increased by more than a thousand times. In his eyes, he was now a shining gem.
“Your Majesty, I have something important to report.” Robert’s solemnity surprised the Elf Queen.
She had never once seen Robert like this. Usually, when she saw him, he appeared to not have a single worry.
Could it be that Chris had successfully summoned a beast soul and a powerful one at that?
Otherwise, Robert’s expression would not have been so grim. Even if Chris had failed, Robert would not have lost anything. At most, he would have been a little disappointed.
Thinking of this, the Elf Queen felt a trace of anticipation.
“Chris summoned our race’s holy beast, the two-headed Chimera?”
The Elf Queen, who was in deep thought, casually said, “Yes, Chimera, that’s fine… What did you say?”
The Elf Queen stood up from the futon, her eyes wide, and her face filled with shock.
Chimera, it was actually Chimera.
Others might not know what Chimera represented, but the Elf Queen was well aware of it.
It had been thousands of years, and the Chimera had once again descended.
This indicated that their elf race was about to rise.
Chapter 17: Who’s Fighting?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Coo coo!”
Just as the Elf Queen was shocked, Chimera came out from under Chris’s sleeve, revealing two little heads.
It looked around curiously as if it had come to a new environment and was interested in everything.
“Hiss!”
It was actually real.
Chris had really summoned the holy beast, Chimera.
The Elf Queen, who did not believe it at first, looked at Chris in disbelief, her eyes filled with ecstasy.
She was both happy that Chimera had descended and happy that it was done so by Chris.
As the Elf Queen, she knew better than anyone what the arrival of Chimera meant.
From ancient times until now, as long as Chimera was present in the Elven era, it would be the most prosperous one and their race would be the overlord of the continent.
At this time, when the elves were surrounded by enemies, the arrival of Chimera undoubtedly eased the worries of the Elf Queen.
However, she was even happier that the one who brought hope to the elves was Chris. It could be said that even without her, Chris would still be a very popular existence among the elves.
After all, the owner of Chimera was Chris.
Within the elves, Chimera was equivalent to the Elf Queen and had a supreme status. As the host of Chimera, Chris was naturally immensely honorable.
Even if he did not know anything, he would still win the respect of their race just by relying on Chimera, the Sacred Beast.
Chris saw the shocked look on the Elf Queen. She mirrored the exact expression that Robert had a while ago, which made him gloomy.
“This little fellow is so ugly. There’s nothing special about it. Why does it seem like it’s so powerful?”
Chris thought so, but he felt that the more he looked at the little fellow, the uglier it became.
He did not know if it would look better when it grew up.
If it still looked like this, he would just throw him away earlier. How could a handsome elf like him carry such an ugly little thing?
It was not cool at all.
At this time, Chimera was not at all happy. It waved its two little claws and cried out, its tiny face full of dissatisfaction.
“You are ugly. If you are ugly, you have to admit it,” Chris thought.
“Coo coo coo coo…”
Chimera protested even more.
The intimate appearance of the two made the Elf Queen’s smile widen. Robert was also at the side, stroking his beard.
The more attached Chimera was to Chris, the deeper the relationship between the two was.
Without the Elf Queen saying anything, Robert had already suggested without much anticipation. “My Queen, Chris has summoned Chimera. It’s the hope for the future of our elven race. I request to be Chris’s guard.”
The Elf Queen nodded with a smile. She was happier than anyone that Chris could summon Chimera.
“Mr. Robert, Chris’s safety now depends on you. Now that our elven race has infiltrated the spies of other forces, the matter of Chimera is of great importance. We must treat it with caution.”
“Yes, my Queen. Even if I die, I will definitely protect Chris’s safety,” Robert said with force.
As a druid warrior, it was a very honorable thing to be able to protect the host of Chimera.
After the matter was over, the Elf Queen watched as both Chris and Chimera left.
She walked into the inner level of the palace and entered one of the rooms.
The place was clean and tidy, filled with the faint fragrance of the Elf Queen.
On the wall of the room hung a portrait of a female elf. She carried the same beauty as the Elf Queen, but she was about seventy, eighty percent similar.
The woman in the portrait was Chris’s mother, Miele.
The Elf Queen touched the portrait and reminisced, “Little sister, did you know that your son summoned Chimera, the Holy Beast of our race?”
“He is as excellent as you. He has the purest natural aura of our elf race. I am so happy.”
“The poison in my body is erupting more and more frequently.”
“Before you left, you entrusted Chris to me. I originally wanted him to become a druid warrior.”
“This way, even if I leave, he won’t experience any hardship.”
“I’m truly happy and I’m tired too. I miss you so much. I think that the day we reunite isn’t far away.”
At this moment, the Elf Queen’s poison erupted once again. Unlike before, her entire beautiful face was tainted with a green glow.
“Blergh!”
She vomited a mouthful of blood and hurriedly mobilized the magic elements in her body. It took her half an hour to suppress it.
It truly was happening more and more frequently.
She had to speed up the progress of the matter.
…
After leaving the Spring of Life, Robert had been trailing behind Chris.
Now, the identities of the two of them had changed drastically. Robert looked as if he was at the beck and call of anyone. It was as though Robert had become an apprentice.
At first, Chris felt a little awkward, but he soon grew accustomed to it.
Of course, when Chris was studying magic, he would set up a defensive magic array to isolate the aura outside.
He took out the Life Magic. Just as he was about to study it, Chimera jumped out of his sleeve and cooed to catch his attention.
“What an annoying little fellow,” Chris complained as he picked up its tiny body with two fingers and threw it aside.
He cast a magic barrier.
Chimera turned its head and continued to rush toward Chris. With a bang, it crashed into an invisible barrier.
It tried its best to move its body, but it could not break through Chris’s magic barrier.
Its small eyes shone with a moving luster, like a child who had been bullied.
Chris immediately removed the magic barrier, and Chimera instantly rushed into his arms. He felt rather helpless.
“We’ve spoken about this. I’m going to cultivate now. Be good and don’t make any noise,” Chris said.
Chimera nodded its tiny head as if it understood his words. It stayed quietly, its small face full of glee.
Throughout the entire afternoon, Chris had been studying fusion magic. He was already very familiar with the fusion of two different attributes of magic.
However, this was not the end. On top of life magic and water magic, he had also added dark magic.
Looking at the tricolored magic light ball floating in front of him, Chris’s eyes were filled with anticipation. A brand new magic form had been born.
Taking advantage of the night, Chris hid in the direction of the Moon Well at the edge of the elven territory.
He could not wait any longer.
The fusion of two types of magic and the power that erupted had slightly surpassed the limits of a sorcerer.
Chris could not imagine how terrifying the power would be if it erupted from a new form of magic created from the fusion of these three types of magic.
Whether it was beyond an archmage or comparable to a saint-level mage, it would make one’s blood boil, no matter which one it was.
This was also the reason why Chris did not experiment among the elves.
His status had now changed. With the Holy Beast Chimera, he had become a very popular figure.
Moreover, the elves had already completely lifted the martial law. There were patrol teams of the elves all around, so it was very easy to expose himself.
“Eh? It’s so late, who’s fighting?”
Just as Chris was about to reach the Moon Well, he suddenly felt a weak magical fluctuation from the west.
Although this fluctuation was very subtle, his acuity had increased a hundredfold since he condensed the Power of Laws. Unless he was a sage-level powerhouse, nothing could escape his senses.
