Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 203 - 197 Elf Clan Seems to be Rising
Chapter 203: Chapter 197 Elf Clan Seems to be Rising
The cataclysmic aftermath caused by the forbidden curse left players in awe and inspired a yearning and excitement for such unattainable power in real life.
However, compared to the players’ excitement, Eve, who took the initiative to attack, was not satisfied with her own power.
“This shortcut method may allow me to wield Demigod-Level power, but due to the lack of a Demigod-Level body as a foundation, although it reduces the consumption, it also decreases the power, at best only considered pseudo-Demigod Level.”
“This model is fine for dealing with beings below a Demigod, but if I’m really facing a Demigod, I suppose I still need to use my Demigod Avatar…”
*Eve sighed inwardly.*
At least, if that strike had been made by her Demigod-Level avatar, it would have completely repelled the Shadow Dragon’s attack, and not a trace of the forbidden curse’s aftermath would have leaked out.
Not only that, but the forbidden curse might have directly counter-killed the Shadow Dragon…
Of course, if that were the case, due to its restrained power, players might not truly feel the power of a forbidden-level magic.
However, even though Eve couldn’t go all out in this mode, and couldn’t make the avatar face a real Demigod, she found it more than sufficient to handle anything below Demigod-Level.
The opposing Shadow Dragon, while very powerful and nearly Demigod-Level, was ultimately not a Demigod, but only at the pinnacle of Legendary.
And not being a Demigod, even though its life form had transcended the mortal realm, it still hadn’t reached the highest level…
In this situation, facing Eve, who was immune to the Legendary Domain and possessed Demigod-Level strength, the Shadow Dragon stood no chance.
In fact, even the infuriated Shadow Dragon realized this.
The forbidden curse exploding in its mouth made it utter a mournful whimper, as large amounts of black blood flowed from its ears, eyes, nostrils, and mouth corners, pathetically.
And as the black blood dripped onto the ground, it corroded black patches, emitting sizzling white smoke…
While it couldn’t be said to be severely injured by a single strike, it was still a rather grievous wound.
The previously furious and impulsive Shadow Dragon calmed down in an instant.
Having fallen and become a shadow creature, it lost the intelligence of a wise creature, but that didn’t mean it had turned into a fool.
It quickly realized that the glowing little mosquito in front of it was very strong, far beyond its capability…
Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, this Shadow Dragon, which had taken a forbidden curse in its stride, twisted its massive body and began to flee towards the spatial rift behind it…
That was the unstable spatial passage it had created by tearing space using a summoning array!
On the other side lay the Netherworld and the Endless Abyss, the Land of Darkness that birthed shadow creatures.
Seeing the cowardly Shadow Dragon turn and run without hesitation, all the players had peculiar expressions:
“Is it running away just like that?”
“Why does this scene feel so familiar…”
“You’re not mistaken, it looks just like an oversized Mairrel…”
“…”
“As expected of a dragon…”
“Why do the bosses in this game keep embarrassing themselves one after another…”
Meanwhile, the Dwarf Temple Master stood with her mouth agape, utterly stunned.
The Elf Divine Favored being able to block the Shadow Dragon’s attack had already surprised her.
And the Shadow Dragon’s subsequent performance further shattered her understanding…
A Shadow Dragon nearing Demigod strength, one of the strongest in the Land of Darkness, a giant monster capable of annihilating a kingdom… chose to flee at this moment?
In legends, weren’t Shadow Dragons always evil, violent, and bloodthirsty, insane beings?
This…
The Dwarf Temple Master once again looked at the Elf Divine Favored floating in mid-air, her gaze gradually becoming reverential.
This could only mean one thing.
It wasn’t that the Shadow Dragon was too cowardly, but that the being it faced was too powerful!
To force a Shadow Dragon of nearly Demigod strength to flee instantly, simply by using Divine Possession, just what kind of existence was this True God related to life behind the elf?
Wait a minute, could it be…
In an instant, a thought suddenly popped into the Dwarf Temple Master’s mind…
“Could it be… that the one in the Elf Forest has awakened?”
However, just as this thought emerged, the Dwarf Temple Master quickly dismissed it.
“It shouldn’t be, if it were her, the gods of the Heavenly Realm would have taken action long ago. I had previously heard from the elves that they wiped out a tribe of Half-Beasts. If it truly were her, the God of Winter and Hunting would not have stood idly by…”
“And how could she possibly let the elves become like this? Hmm… not that these elves are bad, just that, how to put it… anyway, these elves are too different from what I remember elves to be… it always feels like something’s missing.”
“Forget it, after this affair is over, I’ll take the opportunity to pray and ask the True God’s Grace. If I have to interact with these elves long-term, I still need to clarify exactly who their True God is backing them…”
The Dwarf Temple Master had made up her mind.
Eve didn’t know that the Dwarf Temple Master had some speculations about her identity. In fact, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
Because, according to the True God Oath, Hela was sure to help conceal her identity.
As long as she didn’t let herself slip and reveal it, she could always keep her disguise.
Now, her concern was how much divine power this Shadow Dragon would provide her.
A Shadow Dragon nearing Demigod strength, the life force and energy contained within it was no small amount.
Naturally, Eve would not let the opponent escape.
She stretched out her hand once more, controlling the holy apparition behind her to grasp at the Shadow Dragon.
The holy apparition once again enlarged, transforming into a massive energy hand hundreds of meters in size, lifting the Shadow Dragon as if it were a tiny chick…
For a moment, the Shadow Dragon let out an angry yet terrified roar, but its mouth, having just detonated a forbidden curse, wounded and leaking air, only emitted a deep whimper.
Its massive body struggled, but it couldn’t break free from the grasp of the giant hand…
Drow: …
Players: …
Watching this scene, they instead became numb…
At this moment, it was clear to all that this Shadow Dragon was no match for the elf NPC who had performed Divine Possession.
It seemed it was done for.
In a strange and frustrating way…
“Absorb…”
Eve controlled her avatar and silently activated this ability in her mind.
At the same time, she cast a Holy Light, enveloping the Shadow Dragon to obscure the phenomena manifested by her absorption ability.
Everyone else in Black Rock City only saw the golden light enshroud the Shadow Dragon, after which it let out an agonized scream, and then its entire body shrank continuously, eventually vanishing into thin air as the Holy Light faded…
Was it now… vanquished?
On the city walls, there was a moment of silence.
And having “consumed” the Shadow Dragon using the power of the World Tree, Eve turned her gaze to the shadow army, still prostrating, shivering under the dual influence of Holy Light and pressure…
“A total of ten thousand…”
With just a glance, Eve clarified the exact count of shadow creatures.
Previously, she didn’t personally strike against these creatures, considering the depletion of divine power and to let players continuously provide her with power while also training them.
But now, Eve had an improved divine power control mode, and with the entire shadow army summoned, it was easy to clean them up in one sweep without other worries.

After all, they were merely a group of monsters without faith; even if she cleared the field using True God’s means, it wouldn’t provoke antagonism from other powerful beings.
No need to drag time, might as well eliminate them herself and gain a small profit.
With this in mind, Eve focused her thoughts.
The holy apparition behind her suddenly burst with blinding light, transforming into thousands of rays of Holy Light.
These Holy Lights scattered out, enveloping all the shadow creatures.
The entire Underworld was as bright as day!
Accompanied by sharp wails, the bodies of these shadow creatures began to smoke in the blazing light…
Then, their bodies developed countless cracks, black mists roiling but instantly purified by the light…
After struggling for a brief while, their bodies started to shatter, emanating fragments of light, eventually completely dissipating, turning into spectacular “fireworks”…
In an instant, the entire Deep Rift Cave was illuminated by blossoming “fireworks,” constantly flickering and disappearing, leaving everyone on the city wall speechless in awe…
Of course, in places unseen, a subtle array had appeared beneath the Holy Light, devouring the shadow creatures’ lingering life force and energy, even the shadow gemstone fragments left after their death…
A moment later, the entire Deep Rift Cave fell into absolute silence…
Surrounding Black Rock City lay in ruins, but not a single shadow creature was in sight.
The Drows and players were dazed, as if not yet recovered from the recent astonishment…
A moment later, outside the city walls, Demacia slapped his thigh, his voice full of regret:
“Damn it! It ended just like that! All those were experience points! I haven’t had my fill of kills yet!”
The Drows remained silent for a moment before bursting into cheers…
Black Rock City, at last, was saved.
The Dwarf Temple Master could barely contain her excitement as she looked up again, only to find that at some point, the Divine Favored named Ling had already disappeared.
“I thought I was close enough to the True God’s Grace and took pride in my ability to perform Divine Possession. Today, I learned… what true Divine Possession is, and what borrowing the True God’s power truly means!”
The Temple Master’s expression was exhilarated.
“For her to achieve such a level, this Divine Favored herself must be a true Saint! Perhaps one day, she might become a true Demigod…”
“With such a formidable presence backing them, and the mysterious True God’s protection, it seems the Elf Clan… is set to rise again.”
Gazing at the elves outside the city, seemingly searching for something on the battlefield, the Dwarf Temple Master sighed.
…
Eve did not immediately withdraw her avatar.
She merely released the divine power borrowing state and descended to the ground.
This was where the Dark Believers had inscribed the array to summon the shadow army, but now it had been eroded by shadows, leaving everything shrouded in deep, pervasive darkness, exuding a chilling, chaotic aura.
If a weaker being were here, they might be infected both in body and soul, falling to become shadow creatures who knew only slaughter and devouring…
The summoning array was damaged, but at its position, there still lingered a black spatial tear.
That was the rift the Shadow Dragon had left after tearing through space.
Faintly, cries of shadow creatures could still be heard from the other side…
“To think a spatial rift connecting to the Land of Darkness was left behind…”
Eve was a bit surprised.
However, she did not once again borrow divine power to destroy this spatial rift, but left it intact.
“Since a rift remains, presumably more shadow creatures will emerge continuously in the future… Just right, I’ll use this rift to design a permanent shadow creature instance for players in the Underworld!”
