The Death List Novel - Chapter 674
Chapter 674 Success
The air above the palace garden was suddenly filled with a dense and lively wood element aura. The flowers, plants, and trees that came into contact with this aura, including all the green plants, seemed to suddenly come to life and began to stretch their muscles and bones …
“Kakaka!” Climbing on the nearby wall, the plant vines, which were originally just decorating the environment, raised their ends like living creatures, swam down the wall like countless green pythons, and quickly expanded and twisted together. When they grew to the thickness of the bucket, the ground beneath the wall could no longer accommodate them, and they began to surge around like waves.
The flowers and grass on the garden lawn had also undergone a frightening change at this time. The slender grass stalks grew crazily, extending from the ground to the sky, looking like countless green whips waving in the air from afar.
“This is … Everyone be careful, don’t get entangled!” Lenny’s expression changed as she turned around to look in the direction of the banquet hall and reminded everyone loudly.
The few people who had surrounded Necromancer in the middle of the lawn were very alert. Moreover, the fluctuations of the wood elemental aura were so intense, but everyone could feel it. Because the rapidly spreading plants didn’t have a specific target, everyone could easily step on them and avoid the twisting of the vine stems.
“Qin Lun, you are still so precise in timing. What a perfect timing!” Hill’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile. At the same time, he dodged and praised sincerely.
Although everyone could easily dodge the influence of the vines, Necromancer’s teleportation array was powerless.
“Pata!” In the incredulous eyes of Necromancer and his two followers, the protective array shield let out an overwhelming crisp sound. In the next moment, it was crushed by the giant plants crazily squeezed in from the surroundings.
The vortex-shaped passageway that had already appeared above the formation finally collapsed after a burst of shaking. Necromancer and the other two were “spat out” from the open dimensional space, their entire bodies paralyzed as they fell from the air, instantly engulfed by many plants.
The two golden skeletons weren’t very intelligent and didn’t know how to dodge. Even though each chop could shatter a piece of plant, it was still unable to resist for a few seconds and was wrapped into two large dumplings by waves of vine roots.
Although Supreme palace occupied a large area, the layers of green waves that spread out only took a few breaths to reach the edge of the barrier that enveloped the palace.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
At a glance, the entire outer region of the castle had already turned into a primeval forest. The huge roots of plants crisscrossed the ground. Flowers as big as millstones competed for beauty. The rich fragrance of flowers filled the nose. The pollen they emitted was so dense that it almost affected everyone’s vision.
Peak Tier 9 Wood Magic-Treefront Descended!
This was a large-scale spell that was second only to the Legendary Forbidden Spell. In terms of its effectiveness, it was not an offensive spell because its activation speed was very slow. If the spell casting environment was huge, then most professionals would be able to dodge it. Its original function was to seal and defend.
Normally, only Grand Mages or Druids in Elves could cast this spell, because only they had such a high affinity for wood elements that even ordinary Legendary Mages would not be able to do so.
Of course, if Mage Elves and Druid were to attack, this spell would be even more powerful and offensive. Although Qin Lun had used the Eye Demon Will to satisfy the casting requirements, he didn’t have enough mana and wasn’t able to control it. He had only formed a plant fortress.
“I wonder which Grand Mage attacked in rage!” Lenny patted her tall chest happily. “Fortunately, at this time, ordinary attendants are gathered in the castle. As long as the silver guards patrolling around are not stupid enough, they should be able to avoid these plants, right?”
“Don’t slack off, those three assassins from the Santalin Society aren’t dead yet!” Mastasia scanned her surroundings vigilantly. “This spell will probably destroy the teleportation formation they set up near the palace. However, these fellows are sinister and cunning. If we don’t find them now, there will be heavy casualties under the wall.”
“Don’t worry, if they run away again, we can all commit suicide.” Idrea fiercely clenched her fists, a trace of killing intent appearing on her pretty face.
…
“Ferrari, I didn’t expect you to have such high attainments in magic!” Lorraine looked up at the banquet hall with astonishment. The surrounding guests and waiters gradually recovered their composure from the chaos and cooperated with the silver guards.
The banquet hall, which was supposed to be filled with a festive atmosphere, had now turned into a greenhouse botanical garden similar to the Earth Federation, making many guests and waiters appear cautious as they walked.
After all, no matter how beautiful the bonsai vines that were used for decoration were, once they were enlarged tens of times, anyone who saw them would inevitably feel a little scared.
“I wonder how the taste of these huge fruits is … ah, it’s so sour!”
Lorraine curiously plucked a fist-sized grape from the vine. However, after taking a bite, his expression changed drastically and he smacked his tongue endlessly. Although these things had grown larger, they had also lost their original delicacy and sweetness.
“Then … Lord Elaszo, I’ll go help the other companions first.” Qin Lun bowed to the Silvermoon City Lord who was still helping the Centaur Lord.
“Oh, alright, be careful!” Elaszo smiled and nodded, calling for the female knight of Elves. “Anacelia, bring a group of guards with Prince Ferrari.”
“Sir, this” The female knight of Elves looked at Qin Lun doubtfully. She did not expect that Silvermoon City Lord would actually agree to let Qin Lun participate in the battle.
“Go, find a few more agile knights!” Ella Strauss did not explain to her that Qin Lun needed to use this opportunity to try to eliminate the side effects of the lucky gold coins. After all, the less people knew about the Luck Gold Coins, the less trouble Elf Prince would have in the future.
“I’ll go with you!” Lorraine saw something and rubbed his palms excitedly as he followed Qin Lun.
…
The night gradually faded. When the first glimmer of dawn appeared in the east of Silvermoon City, the noise in the city finally dissipated. The people who stayed up all night went home to catch up on their sleep.
The originally clean and beautiful streets were now in a mess, piled with all kinds of rubbish, wine bottles and food residues everywhere. For the residents of Silvermoon City, although there was a small fire somewhere in the city at the start of the celebration, tonight was a joyous and enjoyable celebration.
Although some townsfolk saw the tall green vine wall outside Supreme palace, most of them were treated as Lady Hope’s entertainment magic and did not really care about it.
However, for the Alliance Lords participating in the celebration in Supreme palace, as well as their guards, tonight was a thrilling night of sleeplessness.
Under Elaszo’s leadership, the Silvermoon Alliance had not encountered such a dangerous situation for a long time. After a long night of suffering, they seemed to have finally come to their senses from the whitewash of peace, as if they had returned to the days of the independent city-state surrounded by enemies.
Elaszo’s judgment was correct. The sudden attack of the Santalin Society had greatly shocked the various Lords of the Alliance Council, forcing them to once again face up to the dangerous external environment the Alliance was currently in.
The battle that had taken place in every corner of the palace had finally come to an end before dawn.
There were a total of seven Santalin Assassins who invaded Supreme palace this time. The first was the Crow, the disguiser who poisoned the Centaur Lord. Then there were two high-level assassins and a legendary necromancer. Then there were two followers of the necromancer. The last one was a high-level mage who had been deliberately imprisoned in the underground cell of the palace.
One of the seven assassins was captured alive by the guards of the Lords on the spot after failing to assassinate Elaszo. Another assassin was killed outside the hall by the Dwarf King’s envoy. He did not have time to use the teleportation portal to escape.
Meanwhile, the camouflager “Crow” was seriously injured by Storm Queen Ella Silan and ended up taking poison to commit suicide. On the other hand, the black-robed mage in the cell was extremely alert. He teleported out early in the morning and was not caught by the Storm Queen.
The two followers of the necromancer were killed without any suspense by Lenny and the others, and the two golden skeletons were also torn into pieces by the crowd.
As for the necromancer himself, his body was dead. However, according to Great Sage Lenny, the necromancer’s soul might have escaped in some way. He should have left behind a life chest or cloned his body somewhere.
This way, Necromancer would probably have to turn into a Half-Lich in the future. This unnatural change would definitely cause him to lose a lot of strength, and he would no longer be able to retaliate against the Silvermoon Alliance for a short period of time.
‘”Wuwuwu ~ ~” A sad cry came from a certain room in Supreme palace.
Emily, who had been grounded during the banquet, finally found out about Mage Angelo’s death and cried herself out. Elistine and Idrea were comforting her in a hurry.
“Lord Elaszo, are you still in the conference room?” Qin Lun turned to the elven knight and asked.
“Yes. Last night, when we were encircling the assassins, the lords of the banquet hall requested an emergency lord meeting. Right now, a bunch of adults are still discussing it.” Anacelia said worriedly.
Qin Lun, Hill, and Rand exchanged glances and smiled. It seemed that the Silvermoon Alliance’s Lords had indeed been stimulated by the Santalin Society’s actions this time.
“Qin Lun, from the looks of it, the Silvermoon Alliance’s momentum towards becoming the Silvermoon Federation is irreversible.” Hill smiled on the guild channel. “And we’ve done Elaszo such a big favor. As long as King Tynequilas of the Anke Fairy Court judges the situation, the chances of an alliance between the two sides are very high.”
“En, we can successfully retire and proceed with our next plan.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he looked at the dwarf prince beside Emily, Lorraine.
