Chapter 714 Black Undeads
714 Black Undeads
In the cave, Evan was staring at the small tree that was planted in the dark area of the cave with a blank look on his face as if his soul had left his body.
"So, why did you ask me to bring him here?" Ashley didn't notice Evan's strange condition and asked while looking at the two deep green eyes that just opened in the darkness.
As soon as Ashley asked the question, the darkness of the cave started disappearing.
Ashley looked at the changes that were happening In the cave without any surprise on her face. In just a few seconds, all the darkness that covered the cave disappeared and an old man with a wrinkled face and hunched back appeared in front of Ashley.
The man's skin was dark brown in colour and looked like a tree bark. He was wearing a white robe and his deep green eyes were filled with tranquillity, giving a feeling of peace.
The old man ignored the question that Ashley asked and looked behind her where Evan was standing with a frown on his wrinkled face.
Seeing the frown on the old man's face, Ashley raised an eyebrow and turned around to look at Evan. But when she looked at Evan, she was taken back to see the blank look on his face.
"What happened to him?" Ashley asked with a baffled expression on her face, looking at Evan who looked as if he had lost his soul.
The old man walked forward and stopped beside Ashley.
He looked in the direction Evan was looking at and saw the small tree that was planted inside the cave.
Brzzz!
Suddenly, the small tree that was planted inside the cave trembled.
The expression of both Ashley and the old man changed when they saw this and a stunned expression appeared on their faces.
"This..." Ashley looked at the small tree with her eyes wide open and said in a trembling voice. "Th-the world tree is afraid."
The expression of the old man turned deadly serious when he saw this and he waved his hand.
Just as he waved his hand, the formation that covered the small tree lit up and the tree stopped trembling.
'So it was really because of this guy that the World Tree was behaving strangely,' The old man thought to himself and the frown on his face deepened. A few minutes ago, he noticed that the World Tree was acting strange.
Using his World Eye skill when the old man tried to find why the World Tree was acting strange, he noticed that it was somehow related to the person who triggered the formation earlier.
Through the World Eye, the old man noticed that the World Tree was feeling Fear towards the person who triggered the formation. But along with fear, he noticed that the World Tree was feeling another thing as well.
He doesn't know why but along with fear the world tree was feeling a strange anticipation towards the person who triggered the formation.
After thinking about everything, he decided to ask Ashley to bring the person here so that he could better understand what was happening.
"Grandpa this... Is the world tree_" Ashley looked at the old man and asked in a voice filled with disbelief.
The old man looked at Evan who was still standing with a blank look on his face and nodded his head.
"You are right, the world tree is afraid of this guy."
The shock Ashley was feeling increased even more when she heard the old man, but her shock soon turned into anger and she said in a cold voice.
"I knew this guy was not a good person. All of these long ear bastards want to snatch the World Tree from us and he also came to the Dark Forest for the same reason."
Hearing Ashely, the old man looked at Evan for a few seconds and the black and white runes flashed inside his deep green eyes.
After a moment, the old man shook his head and said in a calm voice.
"I can assure you that he doesn't have any ill thoughts about the World Tree."
Ashley sneered when she heard the old man and asked in a cold voice.
"If he does not want to harm the World Tree then why is the World Tree afraid of him?"
The old man felt confused hearing Ashely as he was also not sure why the World Tree was afraid of Evan. The old man looked at Evan's sharp pointy ears and the demonic aura around him.
'His aura and the look are strangely similar to that person' The old man suddenly thought and a momentary look of fear flashed inside his eyes. 'Even though it has been thousands of years since then I still can't forget that dreadful scene.'
"Grandpa?" Noticing the strange expression on the old man's face, Ashley looked at him in confusion.
The old man came back to his senses hearing Ashley and shook his head.
'It has been thousands of years since that person died. There is no way this guy is related to him,' The old man said to himself and looked back at Evan.
"Did he tell you anything when you were attacking him?"
Ashley looked at the old man for a few seconds and felt there was something wrong with him, but she did not think too much about it and said in a plain voice.
"I don't know much, but he said that he is not an elf but an Eltharon."
"Eltharon?" When the old man heard Ashley, he raised an eyebrow because although he had lived for thousands of years he had never heard anything about Eltharon.
'Although I can feel that he is not an elf, I am sure that he is somehow related to them' The old man thought inwardly and started to feel uneasy for some reason.
"What kind of skills did he use while fighting against you?"
Ashley's face became a bit strange when she heard this and she said in a uncertain voice.
"I am not too sure but it seems he can control black coloured undeads that look like shadows."
The old man's pupils contracted to the size of a needle when he heard Ashley and he took a step back with a fearful look on his face.
"Grandpa" Ashley was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly supported the old man whose face lost all of its colour for some reason.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Ashley asked in a concerned voice seeing the pale face of the old man.
"Blac-black undeads.." The old man didn't seem to hear Ashley's concerned voice and he looked at Evan with a frightened look on his face as a scene from thousands of years ago came to his mind where the entire nation of the Frost Wraiths was annihilated by black undeads.
