Chapter 892: Chapter 36: The Battle of the Sorcerers
Xuan Ye bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty," After speaking, he and the other three great Elf Envoys, along with six Elf Envoys, flew out together. These days, their clansmen had been disappearing continuously; all of them harbored a fury in their hearts, and the enemy’s invasion once again filled them with immense indignation.
The Elf Queen floated out from the Elf ancient tree and landed on the treetop crown, feeling the enemy’s wave after wave of powerful attacks. She took a deep breath, her body emitting a faint green glow. Streams of Elf spells continuously floated from her mouth, channeled through the Elf ancient tree into the Defensive Magic Array. Two grand magicians on the continent engaged each other using the Elf Magic Array as the medium. For a time, the entire Elf Forest was filled with surging magical energy.
Xuan Ye was constantly attacking, his goal was merely to create a breach in the magic array, allowing him to enter with his subordinates and find his daughter. Just as the magic array seemed about to succumb to his attacks, the green light suddenly intensified, completely blocking the force he was about to break through with, making the magic array seem rejuvenated. The powerful resistance spurred Xuan Ye’s competitive spirit. As the youngest Red Bishop, he held a revered status on the continent, and he had never been kept at bay like this. He chanted aloud, "Wrath of the Gods, borrow thy divine power, infuse within me, and eradicate the evil." A golden light floated out from behind Xuan Ye, it was his Magic Artifact, Wrath of the Gods. Wrath of the Gods was also a Divine Artifact, a low-level Divine Artifact. It was given to him by the Pope when he was appointed as the Red Bishop. It was only palm-sized, shaped like a pagoda with thirteen layers of gold umbrella-shaped tile surfaces extending downwards, tipped with a pigeon egg-sized transparent spherical gemstone, which Xuan Ye seldom used. This time, driven by concern for his daughter and his competitive nature, he decided to use it. The original brilliant white light immediately turned golden with the addition of Wrath of the Gods, greatly increasing its power. The green barrier formed by the Elf Magic Array rippled once again.
Upon feeling the manipulation of energy, the Elf Queen atop the Elf ancient tree was greatly shaken. She was secretly alarmed by the incredible strength of the newcomer—it seemed to exceed that of a grand magician. To protect the Elf Clan’s territory from being violated, she resolutely sacrificed her own Heart of the Elves, a skill unique to the Elf King, and also the ability on which the Elf King relied for survival. As the Elf Queen continuously chanted Elf spells, a small green Elf, almost identical to her in appearance, floated out from between her brows. Completely translucent, it gently landed on her shoulder, and layers of green ripples spread out from the small green Elf, enveloping the entire Elf City in green light.
The fluctuating barrier calmed down once again. Xuan Ye was shocked; he had not expected the Elf Clan to have such formidable experts who could contend with his Wrath of the Gods. In fact, with Xuan Ye’s power combined with Wrath of the Gods, even if the Elf Queen used the Heart of the Elves, she would still be at a disadvantage. But after all, this was the world of the Elves, the natural energy naturally favored the Elf Queen, and with the help of the Elf Magic Array, they managed to fight to a draw.
Just as Xuan Ye was hesitating whether or not to launch his strongest attack, Ao Di and the other four great Elf Envoys had arrived. The barrier of the Elf Magic Array had no effect on them. The four great Elf Envoys and six Elf Envoys floated out and landed in front of Xuan Ye, glaring at him in unison.
The twelve senior priests who came with Xuan Ye hurried forward, ready to support Xuan Ye at any moment.
Seeing that the representatives of the Elf Clan had arrived, Xuan Ye finally awoke from his competitive mindset, realizing why he had been so impulsive. He quickly retrieved Wrath of the Gods and dispersed the magical energy in the air. The prolonged attack also made Xuan Ye feel somewhat weak; his body swayed slightly, and a trickle of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
In the Elf City, the Elf Queen was not doing much better than Xuan Ye; the sudden cessation of the enemy’s attacks caused her to collapse onto the treetop. The Heart of the Elves on her shoulder wearily merged back into her body, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling much relieved afterward.
Xuan Ye, holding Wrath of the Gods, nodded to the Elves and said, "Greetings, friends of the Elf Clan."
Ao Di spoke coldly, "Who is your friend? Why are you attacking our Elf Clan’s barrier?" He was secretly surprised; he had initially thought the invading enemy would certainly be numerous, but upon arriving here, he discovered the powerful magic was actually emanated by a single human. The might emanating from this magician, clad in a Red Robe, gave him an unprecedented oppressive feeling, so suffocating it was almost unbearable.
Xuan Ye replied indifferently, "We mean no illintent; I am here looking for my daughter."
Ao Di snorted and said, "Your daughter is not here. If you have no illintent, please leave our Elf Clan’s territory immediately."
Xuan Ye frowned slightly. He also vaguely felt that the Elves before him were not easy to deal with, especially the four in front, who all harbored considerable energy. It seemed the Elf Clan truly had many capable individuals! But of course, he would not give up searching for his daughter just because the opponent was powerful. Knowing that attacking the Elf Clan’s barrier had been rash, he softened his tone slightly and said, "My subordinates told me that a few days ago, my daughter and a few of her friends entered your Elf Forest and have not yet come out. I have urgent matters for which I need to find her; please forgive my earlier rashness."
