Chapter 715 Sylvan
715 Sylvan
The old man, whose name was Sylvan looked at Evan with horror filled eyes and his breathing became heavy. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and his legs started to tremble.
Ashley also became nervous seeing the frightened look on Sylvan's face and continued to ask him why he was acting like this, but the old man completely ignored her and didn't say anything.
'No, it must be a misunderstanding. There is no way he is the same person whom I saw at that time' Sylvan thought inwardly and tried to calm down.
But the more he tried to calm down, the more images of the day when the entire Nyctopia was destroyed came to his mind.
Although thousands of years had passed, the memories of that day were still fresh in his mind because the day Nyctopia was destroyed was also the day that the great conflict between the Elves and Dryads arose.
At that time, Sylvan went out of the Fairy Forest to take care of some business. After taking care of his business when he was about to return to Fairy Forest, he heard many people talking about how Nyctopia was being attacked by the Shadow Monarch.
Just like other people, Sylvan was also curious about the Shadow Monarch as he was the most low key among the five Monarchs so he went to Nyctopia to take a look at what was happening.
At first, he didn't expect much because Nyctopia was a country under the Rule of Frozen Monarchy ruled by Winterclaw and he knew that Winterclaw wouldn't sit still if another Monarch attacked a country that was under his rule.
Moreover, the Shadow Monarch rarely comes in front of other people so most of the people used to think that he was the weakest among the five Monarchs.
Considering the fact that there were tens of millions of Frost Wraiths in Nyctopia and the Shadow Monarch was attacking alone, Sylvan thought that Shadow Monarch would not be able to do anything. But when he reached Nyctopia, the scene that he saw was completely different.
The entire Nyctopia was bathed in blood and thousands of black shadow like undeads that looked similar to Frost Wraiths were slaughtering the other Frost Wraiths.
The army of Nyctopia tried to stop the black undeads but it was futile as the numbers of undeads were constantly increasing and they were simply unkillable.
No matter what the army of Nyctopia did, the black undeads would reappear again and again even if their bodies were completely destroyed.
Other than Sylvan, many other powerhouses of Utopia also came to Nyctopia after hearing Shadow Monarch was attacking a country under the Rule Of Winterclaw, and similar to Sylvan, all of them were also shocked.
When Winterclaw arrived at Nyctopia and saw the massacre that was happening within the country that was under his rule, he was so angry that he directly attacked the Shadow Monarch.
Because Shadow Monarch was using undeads to attack Nyctopia, Sylvan and other people thought that he wouldn't be able to fight against Winterclaw on his own.
But to their shock, the fight was completely one sided and Winterclaw was heavily injured in just a few minutes. In order to save himself, Winterclaw had no choice but to run away from Nyctopia.
Forget about Sylvan, even people like Eilistraea and Akasha who were present there were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe that Winterclaw was seriously injured in just a few minutes and had to run away from there in order to save his life.
What was even more shocking was that Shadow Monarch did not even bother to chase after Winterclaw as if he did not care about him at all.
Once Winterclaw escaped, there was no resistance and Nyctopia was completely destroyed.
Once Nyctopia was completely destroyed, the Shadow Monarch used one of his skills Eternal Soul Annihilation on the black shadow undeads who looked similar to Frost Wraiths.
Under the effect of the skill, all the Shadow Undeads of the Frost Wraiths were put into a never ending cycle of torment.
After destroying Nyctopia, Shadow Monarch completely disappeared from Utopia and no one saw him.
A few years later after the destruction of Nyctopia, the shadow undeads of Frost Wraiths who were going through never ending cycle of torment suddenly disappeared.
At first, people thought that the effect of the skill that Shadow Monarch used ended which is why the shadow undeads of the Frost Wraiths disappeared, but a few hundred years later, the entire Utopia was shocked because of a piece of news that came from Demon Empire.
A demon named Baphomet killed the Emperor of the demon empire and became the new emperor, moreover, it was said that Baphomet had a Monarch Physique.
Most of the powerhouses of Utopia obliviously did not believe in such a thing as all of them knew that there could only be five Monarch Physique holders at a time, and everyone knew who those five were.
But later when Akasha and other Monarch Physique Holders went to the demon empire after hearing this news, it was confirmed that Baphomet really had a Monarch Physique.
This news really shocked the entire Utopia as they all knew what it meant for Baphomet to be one of the Monarch Physique holders.
Since Baphomet had a Monarch Physique it meant that one of the previous Monarch died.
The four Monarchs Eilistraea, Akasha, Winterclaw and Alistair Nightfall were still alive which means that the person who died was the Shadow Monarch.
This thing came as a complete shock to everyone because now the entire Utopia was aware of the powers of Shadow Monarch and knew that even among the other Monarchs, he was on a completely different level.
At that time, many people didn't believe that the Shadow Monarch died but when they thought about the sudden disappearance of the shadow undeads of the Frost Wraiths a few hundred years ago, most of the people speculated that the shadow undeads didn't disappear because the effect of the skill that Shadow Monarch had used ended, but they disappeared because the shadow monarch died somewhere and the effect of his skill disappeared along with him.
Sylvan, who returned to Fairy Forest after the event of Nyctopia was also shocked to his core when he heard the news about the death of Shadow Monarch because he had witnessed with his own eyes just how powerful the Shadow Monarch was.
Although Sylvan was shocked, he didn't have time to think about this news because at that time the situation of Dryads was not good and he was on the run to save his life from the elves.
When Sylvan returned to Fairy Forest after the event of Nyctopia, he heard the news that the queen of Dryads, Nadia was assassinated by the Elves.
The entire fairy forest was in chaos and a war broke out between the Elves and the Drayds.
With the sudden death of the queen, followed by an all out attack of elves, many Dryads were killed.
But because of the defence formation and natural environment of the fairy forest that was blessed by the World Tree, the Dryads soon reorganised themselves and fought back against the elves.
Compared to the elves, the numbers of the Dryads were very small. But because of the blessing of the World Tree, they were able to fight against the Elves on equal ground.
The war lasted for tens of years, but in the end, at a critical moment, the person who was in charge of maintaining the defence formation of the fairy forest betrayed the Dryads and the army of the elves successfully entered the fairy forest.
The population of the Dryads was already very small compared to the other races so without the protection of the formation, they were not able to fight against the elves and despite the blessing of the World Tree, most of them were killed.
In the end, in order to save the World Tree and the remaining Dryads, Sylvan escaped from the fairy forest along with them.
For hundreds of years, he continued to run from one place to another in order to escape from the hunt of elves. It was also the time when he heard the news about the death of Shadow Monarch.
At that time, Sylvan did not believe that the shadow monarch was dead because in his opinion no one in Utopia could kill him. Although he felt something was wrong, Sylvan had no time to think about such things because he was still on the run.
After hundreds of years of escaping, he finally entered the Dark Forest and created a hidden dimension with the help of the World Tree so that the small number of Dryads that were still alive could live peacefully and grow stronger.
The Dark Forest was a dangerous place and hardly anyone entered its depths so it was an ideal place for them to hide.
Thousands of years have passed since then and the Dryards are still living in the Dark Forest, hiding from the elves.
This was also the reason why Ashely immediately wanted to kill Evan after seeing his long elves like ears.
If not for the fact that the aura around Evan was very different from the elves, she would have killed him immediately the moment she saw him.
As the memories of those years flashed inside Sylvan's mind, he clenched his fist in anger thinking about all the Dryads that were killed by the elves.
"What the fu*k was that?" Just when Sylvan was lost in his thoughts, he heard Evan's baffled voice and his heart nearly leapt out of his chest.
