Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 303 - 288: Let’s Go Home, My Compatriots

"Despair Scale Monster? God of Despair?"

The players were baffled upon hearing the words of the elves.

And the elf Selena gritted her teeth and said,

"That’s an evil deity that suddenly appeared near Fengye Territory in recent years. She claims to be the God of Despair and loves leading other intelligent creatures into despair, turning them into terrifying monsters, like this Despair Scale Monster..."

"It was she who seduced one of our companions, causing their downfall, which eventually allowed the border count of Fengye Territory to take advantage and led to the destruction of our stronghold!"

"Evil God?"

The players were slightly moved upon hearing this term.

"Evil God?"

Mairrel narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I smell an odor that I despise."

She bared her teeth and said, with a hint of displeasure in her words.

The eerie creature known to the elves as the Despair Scale Monster, upon its appearance, continued to exude an increasingly strong aura.

It wasn’t until it reached the peak of the Silver Upper that it finally stopped...

The intimidating pressure made some players shiver uncontrollably.

Even Mairrel’s expression gradually turned serious.

"Hiss... This pressure, why does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Dema, having already jumped off the dragon’s back, shivered at the evil, dark aura of the hideous monster and its overwhelming pressure, *pondered aloud*.

Next to him, Li Mu glanced at the creature’s pitch-black scale armor and said somewhat uncertainly,

"Its pressure feels a bit like when Mairrel is angry."

"Damn! Really!"

Dema’s eyes widened, and then, along with the other players, he couldn’t help but look at Mairrel.

"Hmph! Nonsense!"

Mairrel glared at them with bared teeth, then with a roar, charged toward the Despair Scale Monster.

The dragon and the monster immediately clashed with each other.

However, just as they began to fight, an unexpected situation occurred.

The players were shocked to discover that as Mairrel engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the creature, a trickle of black aura started to stream from the Despair Scale Monster and onto her!

And with the infiltration of this black aura, Mairrel suddenly seemed very agitated.

Her eyes gradually turned crimson, her breathing became more and more labored, and her expression grew increasingly ferocious.

Even the originally overwhelming aura of the dragon gradually... seemed to have a hint of chaos.

"Wait... this... something seems off..."

"Is the Little Black Dragon being corrupted by the opponent?"

The players all noticed something was wrong.

Little Xian Miao’s face changed,

"Mairrel, get away from that big guy!"

However, the Black Dragon Mairrel seemed to have lost her mind and only continued to roar and brawl with the monster.

And the more she fought, the more chaotic her aura became.

Even the slowest players could see that Mairrel was being subjected to the opponent’s corrupting power!

"Mairrel!"

They were anxious in their hearts.

At this moment, suddenly, a gentle Holy Light radiated from Mairrel...

"Purify..."

Vaguely, everyone present seemed to hear a majestic and sacred female voice.

The players were first stunned, then all were overjoyed,

"It’s the Goddess’s voice!"

"Haha! The Goddess has intervened!"

"I told you! If I remember correctly, the Goddess took Mairrel as a pet; how could she let her suffer!"

Hearing their terms, the surrounding elves were confused,

"God... Goddess?"

However, some elves, led by Selena, suddenly became suspicious and uncertain.

Like the sunlight in winter, or like life-saving rain after a long drought, the mysterious Holy Chorus accompanied by the holy radiance enveloped the Little Black Dragon.

The intense divine aura and life force spread out, and in an instant, everyone who came into contact with it felt clear-headed, and the wounds and fatigue on their bodies disappeared rapidly...

Where the Holy Light touched, grass sprouted and flowers bloomed everywhere.

The eyes of the Little Black Dragon, once enshrouded by the black aura, gradually regained clarity...

And the most striking sight was the Despair Scale Monster.

Like ice meeting fire, the hideous and terrifying monster suddenly began to tremble, numerous squirming tumors reappeared on its body, the dark aura churned, and sizzling sounds were heard...

It let out a painful howl, and its entire body suddenly collapsed.

Under the shine of the brilliant Holy Light, the black scale armor of the Despair Scale Monster shattered and turned to flying ash, while its massive body continued to melt, gradually turning into a pool of black flesh and blood...

The black flesh and blood continuously dissolved, eventually turning to nothing under the illumination.

In the blink of an eye, everything returned to calm.

Only a ground full of flowers and green, and the dazed Little Black Dragon was left standing there.

And watching this scene like a Divine Miracle, feeling the certain power contained in the just-present Holy Light, the previously bewildered elves became somewhat excited,

"This power... this power is..."

"It’s... the power of life! This is definitely the power of life! It’s the power that belongs to the True God!"

An elderly elf said excitedly.

With that, they began to pray constantly toward the flowers and greenery around them, even kneeling on the spot...

Meanwhile, Selena’s eyes widened.

She instinctively covered her mouth, looking at the green grass and flowers, at the faint green particles in the air that hadn’t completely dissipated, her expression alternating between excitement, fear, anticipation, and dread.

Gradually, her whole body suddenly started to tremble,

"This is... this is..."

"This is the power of the Mother Goddess."

A gentle female voice completed her unfinished sentence.

Selena instinctively turned around and saw a tall figure wearing a sacrificial dress.

Golden long hair, emerald green eyes, delicate features, and a consistently gentle expression... it was the Natural Saintess, Alice.

"Selena, long time no see."

Alice looked at Selena and said with a smile.

"Alice?! It’s you! You’re still alive?!"

Selena was equally surprised and delighted.

She stared at Alice, glanced at her sacrificial dress, then at the players around who were starting to search the ground for some items (the fallen equipment), and then in the direction where the Holy Light disappeared...

Finally, her voice became excited,

"Could it be... could it be... this is all true?!"

Alice didn’t explain much.

She simply drew a tree-shaped symbol over her chest that the elves found very familiar, then sincerely and seriously said,

"The Mother Goddess... has returned."

She finished by opening her arms, and the power of faith gathered behind her into a dazzling Holy Light,

"Come home, my sisters, come home, my compatriots..."

She looked at these compatriots saved by the players and said with a smile.

For a moment, more than a hundred elves were left standing there, stunned.
