Chapter 348 -258 Advance by 2
Flower Elves are a type of Tree Elf, but they hold a higher status than ordinary Tree Elves and are even comparable to High Level Elves!
As the name suggests, Flower Elves, according to legend, are nurtured by the flowers of the Ancient Tree of Life, High Level Elves are born from its fruits, and Tree Elves from its leaves.
Thus, in a certain sense, the status of Flower Elves is even higher than that of High Level Elves!
However, because Flower Elves are exceedingly rare and uncommon, they are not well-known.
And just as the colossal face had said, their True Spirits are extremely robust. Without external interference, there is hardly any degradation.
As a result, the number of Flower Elves has been fixed ever since the birth of the Elf Clan.
Only when a Flower Elf dies, and their spirituality returns to its most primitive state and reenters the Ancient Tree of Life, can a new Flower Elf be nurtured from it!
This is the most distinctive difference between Flower Elves and other Elves.
The massive face was able to replace Nasi’s body by exploiting such a rule.
Although it talked about body replacement, essentially, it was no different from killing Nasi.
The goal was simply to retain the purest spirituality stripped of everything, and to nurture a new Flower Elf!
“Anilasa!” Colin couldn’t help but speak up again.
The massive face showed displeasure and turned to look at him with a solemn voice,
“Tree, what is it?”
As it spoke, a brown branch as thick as a wrist suddenly stretched forward, wrapping around Colin and pulling him in front.
The huge, blurry face was now extremely close, its massive eyes nearly as large as Colin himself!
Colin steadied his mind, controlling the rate of his heartbeat, and spoke firmly,
“Respected Anilasa, there has been a disturbance in the Elf Kingdom. A group of Tree Elves has returned here.”
“Tree Elves! Those traitors, they dare to come back here!”
As he expected, the enormous face grew furious upon hearing of Tree Elves. Nasi, who had initially been brought forward, was slowly lowered, seemingly to be dealt with later.
Seeing this, Colin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In these five days, he had learned a bit more of the language, originally planning to extract information from the giant tree…
“Tree, where are these Tree Elves now?” After the anger subsided, the large face continued in a calmer tone.
“The forest,” Colin replied briefly, being mindful of his limited vocabulary to avoid exposure.
“The forest, and not here? Indeed, no Elf knows of my existence…” the huge face muttered, a hint of anthropomorphic apprehension flashing across it, “I can’t let these traitors know of my existence before I’ve recovered—”
“Tree! Go and destroy those who have embraced Divine’s protection and betrayed the High Level Elves and me in alliance with Liya’er!”
“…Yes,” Colin said, his expression stern. After a moment of silence, he responded softly.
Just then, a jade-like green light suddenly appeared before him and struck him with the speed of lightning.
Colin was startled.
But in the next moment, he felt a surging energy flooding his body!
Had it not been for his bodily strength as an Ultimate Knight, just this energy alone would have severely wounded him.
“Go, I have enhanced your power, Tree. High Level Elves are the most powerful Elves, use your natural magic to deal with those traitors… Do not disappoint me.”
The colossal face continued, placing Colin back on the ground.
“Yes.” Colin suppressed the discomfort in his body, kept a composed face, and turned quickly towards the palace, to avoid giving himself away.
Perhaps the green light was a powerful boost for High Level Elves, but for him, who lacked the Elf Bloodline, it was just a mass of energy that could nearly burst him.
Fortunately, the giant tree had abandoned the plan to ‘kill’ Nasi… Colin comforted himself and glanced back subconsciously.
But this glance made him stop in his tracks.
Without considering the energy just spent, the massive face was now lifting Nasi again, seemingly planning to continue with killing her to nurture a new Flower Elf!
‘Could it be… to use the special status of Flower Elves to deal with the Tree Elves I fabricated?’ Colin’s expression suddenly darkened, a whirl of thoughts racing through his mind.
Dim green light glowed from the flowers where Nasi was, and her tiny figure was instantly engulfed.
‘No choice now! I must act ahead of time!!’ Colin’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly moved towards the palace.
Swish!
He crossed through the illusion and without pausing, he went straight to the Emerald Throne.
Stroking the throne, which felt like a mix of jade and wood, Colin no longer hesitated, took a deep breath of turbid air, and sat down.
The tree-shaped mark on his wrist lit up slightly, a faint golden glow igniting and lighting up the entire Emerald Throne.
Golden and red intertwined like molten rock, starting from the dark base of the throne and spreading upwards along the green veins, as if flames were suddenly arising.
However, Colin’s attention was not on this.
The tree-shaped mark on his wrist was both a restriction and a blessing, and now, with such a mark, he could nearly open all doors, including this throne.
But the Emerald Throne was not a door, rather a key to open a certain door.
Clack Clack Clack—
As Colin’s thoughts shifted, a strange friction sounded from behind him.
The thick stone wall engraved with the Ancient Tree of Life, under the influence of an invisible mechanism, gradually began to rise!
A faint gray dust fell.
As the stone wall rose, the gap underneath gradually widened.
An angry voice mixed with a hint of fear came through:
“Who dares to raise the Ancient Tree Wall without permission?!!”
But the rising of the stone wall did not stop because of the giant face’s roar.
As a consciousness that had arisen only from the fragmented branches of the real Ancient Tree of Life, whether it be memory or knowledge, both were incomplete; it could not directly stop the rising of the stone wall.
Hoo—
As the cave connected with the palace, suddenly, a breeze picked up.
Above the Emerald Throne, Colin’s face lit up with joy, as he keenly noted that this breeze was not as simple as it seemed!
Tiny, almost imperceptible dark red dust fell from various parts of the palace, and then followed the breeze, blowing towards the cave.
Swish!!
But at that moment, a brown vine as thick as a calf’s leg shot towards him like lightning from behind.
Colin’s face tightened, having anticipated this scenario, he leaned back forcefully, pressing his back against the back of the throne.
The next moment, the vine, shooting from the giant tree with unmatched power, entwined him and the throne together!
“Ugh!”
Colin strenuously activated all his defenses… Steel Temperature Resistance Field, Elf Armor, but to no avail.
Even the sturdy defense inherent to the throne had no effect whatsoever.
The vine easily shattered these defenses, as if piercing through air.
“Tree Elf, why have you raised the Ancient Tree Wall?!” the giant face asked in a deep, questioning tone, and without waiting for Colin to respond, quickly continued, “Bring the Ancient Tree Wall down immediately!”
Feeling the focus of the dark red contaminated wind in the palace, sensing the giant face’s anxious tone… Colin slightly curled the corners of his mouth, blood seeping from the gaps between his teeth, eventually slipping from the corners of his mouth.
He said nothing, made no futile resistance against the vine wrapped around his chest, but simply clenched his teeth, quietly buying time.
“Tree Elf?!” the giant face called out several times more, but Colin maintained his silence.
And since Colin was pressed closely against the throne, it was unable to pull him close for questioning separately.
Hoo—
The wind grew stronger, its faint reddish hue becoming more noticeable.
The giant face’s voice grew increasingly frantic, filled with madness.
Spurt!
In an instant, Colin suddenly felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw that the brown vine, like a cold, long snake, had pierced through the skin of his chest, burrowing deeply!
Excruciating pain swept over him, causing him to involuntarily groan.
Immediately after, the vine gently flicked, like a fatal hook lifting Colin up and rapidly pulling him back beside the giant tree!
