Evolution Online: I Can Fuse With All Things-Chapter 43: Moonshade Elves [part 1]

The lady sleeping slowly stirred as Lucien stared at her. She raised her head and stretched, her long, sharp ears flickering slightly. Then slowly, she opened her golden amber eyes.

Lucien was staring at her when she opened her eyes. She blinked. Lucien was still staring, unblinking. She blinked again—Lucien was still staring.

Immediately, she staggered back, belatedly realizing that he was awake. The scare made her tumble backward and fall, rolling back until she hit the wall. The entire structure shook slightly; a wooden cup from the table tumbled down and landed on her butt which were unfortunately facing up.

Lucien looked away... they were slightly transparent.

The young lady quickly stood up and dusted herself off with shameless dignity.

She exhaled and looked at Lucien again. He turned his head and met her gaze.

The lady was more upright than she had appeared moments ago—she was quite tall, her skin flawlessly smooth and pale as snow, silver hair cascading down like frost, and her eyes as calm as a frozen lake.

She looked less like a woman and more like a memory the ice never let go.

The lady bowed her head gently toward Lucien.

"O great one."

Lucien raised a brow.

’O great one? Who’s that?’

He shifted his gaze to the other side, but there was no one there. He was the only one in front of the lady.

"I’m sorry... I think you’re mistaken."

The lady shook her head.

"No, I am not. You are the one who freed us from an eternity of banishment. Our savior, the prophesied great one."

Lucien frowned at her words.

"Listen to me, you definitely have the wrong idea about..."

He stopped as he heard a chime, followed by the voice.

[Congratulations, you cleared hidden scenario]

[You have gained +1000 reputation amongst NPCs]

[You have gained +10,000 reputation amongst Elves of the Moonshade Pact]

[You have gained 5 levels]

’Wait, isn’t that...? Ah! Right, there was that! The quest!’

Indeed there was. He had completely forgotten, but the quest had indeed said something about him slaying the godzilla and releasing the sealed Wood Elves. freёweɓnovel_com

Lucien scratched his hair and exhaled wearily.

’So what is this situation?’

He glanced at the girl looking at him with a gentle, unreadable expression in her eyes.

’And is this supposed to be an NPC?’

Lucien observed her again, trying not to be so obvious about it.

"Great one, how much more of me would you like to see before you are satisfied...? Should I...?"

With an impassive expression, she gently held the neckline of her garment and was about to pull it down. But quickly, Lucien flustered and waved his hands frantically.

"No, no, no, no! Not at all! Please don’t do that!"

The girl smirked and lifted her chin slightly.

"A virgin, I see... this should be fun."

Lucien frowned at first, then raised a brow.

"Huh?"

’Are NPCs supposed to be this detailed?’

In the silence between them, a subtle knock sounded at the door. Lucien turned toward the door.

The lady simply moved gracefully.

"That should be the Elder Moon."

With ineffable grace, she opened the door, revealing a tall, slim man walking inside the room.

The man looked much like the lady. He had long ears and cascading silver hair. He wore a golden garb that flowed down his body, stylized in a unique pattern that matched the theme of both the space and his appearance.

He carried that air of subtlety around him—his gentle green eyes and his time-worn smile. The room’s floor creaked beneath his weight.

As he entered, he slowly went down to his knees, his head lowering. Lucien hastily shot toward him and grabbed his arm, stopping him.

"What are you doing? Why does everyone keep bowing to me?"

The man spoke with a deep, resonant tone.

"You freed us from eternal bondage..."

"Yes, she mentioned that, but why the bowing?"

The man was silent for a moment, exchanging a glance with the lady standing nearby.

She also looked a bit confused and shrugged at him.

Then he looked back at Lucien.

"This is what is expected of us. You are the prophesied great one who would break God Zilla’s curse upon us. And just as the prophecy foretold, you broke the curse—bowing is just the beginning. We have a duty to worship, guide, and follow you to the ends of the world."

His voice was calm, with the kind of baritone that carried authority even in its gentleness.

Lucien leaned closer.

"I’m sorry, what do you mean by ’we’?"

The man smiled.

"The wood elves of the Moonshade Tribe. All of us are ready to follow you wherever you go, O great one. We are ready to..."

"Stop. Stop. Please stop."

The man looked up at Lucien with worry.

"I have no desire to be worshipped or followed. I could use your guidance, sure—I mean, you guys are NPCs—but no following, no ’great one.’ My name is Lucien. You can call me Cien."

The man looked at Lucien and hesitated.

"But..."

Lucien shook his head and stared into the man’s eyes with a fierce glare.

"Luuuu-cien or Cien, your choice."

The man smiled wider and nodded.

"Okay, Lord Cien. Thank you for saving us. The prophecy was indeed right—you are the humblest and kindest man I’ve ever seen."

Lucien froze and blinked twice.

"Huh?"

’Something is definitely wrong with these people.’

The man, with a wide smile on his gentle and kind face, continued.

"My name is Valdris Moonshade. I am the Elder Moon of the Moonshade Tribe."

He turned to the lady standing beside him.

"As you’ve met her, this is Gayanna Moonshade, my first daughter and the person who found you on the ground in the Mist of the Forgotten."

Lucien looked at the elven lady.

"Oh, your daughter—that makes sense."

Then he remembered.

’Right! The Divine Fragment.’

Lucien immediately summoned his profile.

[DIVINE TRANSFORMATION: Hollowbone Frame]

Your skeletal system has been rewritten by the ossified remnants of the Verdant Apostate Ossyn, the God of Stillness and Eternal Roots. Every bone in your body now carries divine density, ancient runes, and a stillness that defies motion itself.

When standing still for 3 seconds or more, activate Rooted Wrath:

- Enemies within 10m of your landing point suffer.

- Spine Fracture, reducing agility by 50% and disarming for 1.5s.

Cooldown: 120 seconds.

[MENTAL EFFECT: Still Mind of the Hollow]:

The god’s silence echoes in your thoughts. Your emotions are numbed; your mental defenses are fortified.

- Immune to mind-control, panic, and illusion-based effects below Tier 7.

- Gain +20% efficiency when meditating, planning, or calculating in combat.

[INFORMATION]

"Some say Ossyn never truly lost the battle with the Hollow God. But an entire forest of pale trees grew on his fossilized corpse. Ossyn might not have lost the battle, but in truth, he died that day."

Lucien exhaled powerfully the moment the new display appeared and he saw it. He fell back on the bed, breathing heavily.

’It worked...’

Indeed it did. Every ability that should have been realized through a gradual process was instantaneously available to Lucien because of his Fusion ability.
