“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.”
