Chapter 169: Chapter 162: The Power of a Forbidden Curse Spell Should Not Be Underestimated; The Colossal Tree-man Unleashes Its Divine Power
In the barracks, under the command of Legion Commander William of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps,
the four Heroic Clan members and Elf High Priest Shamiel, who was under the effect of Saint’s Descent, had mounted their Griffins. They followed the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps toward the skies above the Moon Elf Main City!
Meanwhile,
as the Moon God revived further and its divine pressure intensified,
another wave of overwhelming deterrence washed over them!
The phalanx of Natural Elf Mages, who possessed Upper Class Elf bloodlines, withstood this wave of divine pressure.
However, within the Elf Corps, many Elves had only joined the Elf Alliance recently.
Most of them had Middle Elf bloodlines and could not withstand this wave of the Moon God’s power.
One by one, they were forced to their knees.
But when they looked up and saw some of their brethren still standing tall within the Elf Corps, not kneeling,
a defiant spirit ignited within their hearts!
What these kneeling Elf Soldiers didn’t know was that the ones still standing were actually the original Elf Warriors from the Zhang Yi Divine Realm, all of whom had undergone a Bloodline Awakening.
And so, a wonderful misunderstanding was born.
’If they can stand against this divine pressure, why can’t we?’
’Are we really any worse than them?’
’No!’
After joining the Elf Alliance, the mindset of these Elves from the smaller Elf Tribes had changed.
’No Divine Being is worthy of our worship except for the great Elf God and the God of Nature!’
And so, supported by this conviction,
the Elf Soldiers who had been forced to their knees unleashed unprecedented Power, all through their own faith!
As this power erupted,
even the school teachers watching the scene were stunned.
"As expected of Zhang Yi! He took first place in the last two exams, after all."
"The foundation of their faith, their ideological conditioning—it’s rock solid!"
"Even if he fails this time against the revival of the Moon God,"
"from a certain point of view, he’s already succeeded!"
"His Elf Corps can actually draw upon the Power of Faith to tap into their own potential and resist this divine pressure!"
"That’s something only Fanatic Believers are normally capable of!"
"In other words, even if Zhang Yi can’t defeat the Moon God this time,"
"as long as he manages a safe retreat and brings this Clan with him, he’s guaranteed to gain a huge number of Fanatic Believers in the future!"
"It’s not even out of the question he’ll get some Holy Believers out of this!"
One teacher remarked with awe, gazing at the scene unfolding before them.
Other teachers nearby chimed in with agreement.
Just then, however, Xiong Chumo, the homeroom teacher for Key Class 2, spoke up.
"More than the performance of this Clan, I’m curious to see what trump card Zhang Yi is holding."
As she said this, Xiong Chumo’s gaze was fixed on the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, which had now taken to the skies.
The other teachers followed her gaze and noticed the movement.
Their hearts filled with a little more anticipation.
Meanwhile, in the Moon Elf Main City,
the Moon Elves seemed to have been given special treatment. They didn’t feel the Moon God’s wave of pressure at all and remained standing, unharmed.
As he felt this familiar yet alien, immensely powerful force,
the Moon Elf Prince, Sukaman, was stunned for a moment. Then, an extremely complex expression washed over his face.
It was a mixture of hope and despair, and above all, the relief of having narrowly escaped death.
"Haha... Hahaha..."
"So in the end, the Moon God had to intervene after all!"
"Haha... Hahaha..."
But as he laughed, two streams of tears ran down the Moon Elf Prince’s face.
He knew that after this incident, his claim to the throne would be irrevocably shaken.
He had virtually no chance left to compete for the throne of the Moon Elves.
However, the tide of battle wasn’t necessarily decided.
Since the phalanx formed by the Natural Elf Mages had not been suppressed by the Moon God’s aura,
their Forbidden Curse Spell, Natural Fury—cast through Combined Spellcasting—had not ended either.
The massive, two-hundred-meter-tall Tree-man could still fight!
After all, this group of Natural Elves was special.
Not only did they possess the powerful bloodlines of Upper Class Elves,
but as the very first Clan to follow the great God of Nature in the Divine Realm,
the great God of Nature’s every appearance came with its own powerful aura.
Under the pressure of the great God of Nature’s powerful presence,
having experienced it so many times, these Natural Elves had naturally developed a certain immunity to divine pressure.
Zhang Yi, however, had no idea that the intimidating effect he normally created just for a cool entrance...
...had actually ended up helping these Elves from his Divine Realm.
When the massive, two-hundred-meter-tall Tree-man began to move once more,
this time, the Moon Elves, now under the protection of the great Moon God, no longer felt any panic.
On the contrary, having survived such a catastrophe, their faith was now purer than ever.
All the surviving Elves in the Moon Elf Main City knelt on the ground, praying to the great Moon God.
"O great Moon God, we implore you to act and completely destroy the invaders!"
This was the prayer in the heart of an ordinary Moon Elf in the Moon Elf Main City.
"O great Moon God, for your glorious appearance and to receive your blessing, I am willing to offer my everything!"
