Vespera's face brightened like dawn breaking over mountain peaks. Her lips curved upward in a smile that held both relief and cunning.

She smiled with the confidence of one who has escaped death's grasp. Her hope for life as a hero adrift in this mortal world now seemed like a glimmer of light in the pine forest below, beckoning her toward safety.

"If I meditate all day in a hidden place, my spiritual power will surely recover like a phoenix rising from ashes." Kastor weighed her words carefully, each syllable measured like ingredients in an alchemist's formula.

After making up her mind with the determination of a warrior facing battle, Vespera appeared to stagger as she landed on the damp ground. Her legs trembled from exhaustion and the lingering effects of her wounds.

Then her figure disappeared into the pine forest like smoke melting into shadow. Because she was trapped in her weakened state, she was unable to use her spiritual energy to erase all traces of herself and the aura em

  • The Majestic Water Dragon and Elder Clene.

    Against the backdrop of a half-moon and a night sky bathed in cold starlight, a large, serpentine figure appeared from the sky with majestic grace. Its wings were impossibly wide, casting shadows across the entire village like a living eclipse, while its body was long like a snake, covered with thick scales like polished steel that reflected moonlight."A dragon descended from the ancient legends!"The elves inhabiting the canyon were startled, their hearts racing with primal fear and reverence. Their voices carried whispers of awe that had not been heard for generations.Dragons were only ever encountered in ancient tales passed down by elders, and their existence is rarely seen in these modern times. Most believed them to be myths until this very moment when legend became reality."That's a dragon from the East, bearer of celestial power!" an Elf elder with ancient knowledge seemed to comment, recognition dawning in his wise eyes. His voice trembled with the weight of forgotten lore

  • Arrival at the Light Warrior Clan.

    What was known as the settlement of the Light Warrior Clan of Elves was a cluster of tree houses located in a ravine in the middle of the Hanging Forest. The structures were built from living wood that had been shaped by ancient magic, walls that breathed with the rhythm of the forest itself.In the forest full of old oak trees that stretched toward the heavens like pillars supporting the sky, Guo Jiang saw a group of tree houses shaped like a winding river. They looked like long silver snakes from above, their rooftops gleaming with moonlight and covered in luminescent moss.Guo Jiang stepped onto a small clearing surrounded by luminescent flowers that glowed softly in the gathering dusk. His boots, crafted from dragon leather, made no sound on the moss-covered ground.His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many inhabitants, curiosity overcoming their usual caution toward outsiders. The elf children immediately gathered around him like moths drawn to flame, forming a circle

  • The Elves’ Swift Pursuit.

    "Does this human understand the sacred Elven way of greeting, passed down through millennia of tradition?"Well, let's see what happens next and discover what kind of person this truly is. Are his intentions truly sincere, or is this another human deception?" whispered Thodr to his eight companions, who nodded their heads in cautious agreement.After Thodr agreed to bring the Enchanter to the village of the Light Warrior Clan, the nine Elves demonstrated their supernatural ability in the art of lightening their bodies. Their forms began to glow with inner qi energy that made them appear almost translucent against the darkening forest.The figures of the nine Elves shot forward swiftly like arrows released from divine bows of starlight. In the blink of an eye, they had already left Guo Jiang—the Enchanter—far behind, their forms becoming mere blurs against the ancient trees.Elves are well known for their high dodging ability or agility that surpasses all mortal creatures who walk the

  • A Fragile Alliance Forged in Shadows.

    "If we can live freely on our own land, without having to worry about humans invading the Elves, why shouldn't I accept this golden opportunity that may never come again?"Thodr was torn between hope and bitter experience, his heart pulled in opposite directions like a rope stretched between two mountains. He wanted to accept the human Enchanter's offer, but he couldn't forget the bitter events of hundreds of years ago, when the human race broke their sacred promise and bathed elven lands in blood.It was nearing nightfall, when shadows grew long like reaching fingers across the ancient forest floor. The twilight hour when spirits stirred and magic flowed stronger through the mystical meridians of the earth.At that time, the stars were shining coldly like diamonds scattered across black velvet, making the Hanging Forest feel more mysterious than usual. Their celestial light filtered through the oak canopy, creating patterns that danced across moss-covered ground with ethereal beauty.

  • The Enchanter’s Overwhelming Power.

    But the Enchanter didn't seem intimidated at all, standing calm as a mountain lake before the storm. His dark eyes reflected the dancing lights of approaching weapons without a trace of fear.The Enchanter responded with another magical attack, which was no less terrifying than the combined assault of the nine Elves. His power radiated outward like waves from a stone dropped into still water.Pesotum Tyranes!The sky appeared to split in two when two waves of electric shock energy were created from the curse cast by the Enchanter. Lightning danced between his fingers like tamed serpents of pure destruction, crackling with power that made the heavens themselves tremble.Each of the weapons—swords, spears, and arrows—launched by the nine Elves froze in midair as if time itself had stopped. They fell to the ground with metallic clangs after being struck by the electric current that sizzled through the air like angry wasps.If before, when clashing with the Enchanter's power through his c

  • The Elven Assault Unleashed.

    Thodr then whistled loudly, the sound sharp and piercing like an eagle's cry cutting through morning air. And that was the signal to attack, a battle call that had not been heard in these woods for decades.The nine elves murmured in an indistinct tone, their voices weaving together like threads of ancient silk. The rhythm sounded like a song in an ancient language, harmonies that had been passed down through countless generations of warriors.The swords, spears, and arrows of the nine Elves suddenly flew out of their hands with supernatural grace. They floated as if they had a life of their own, glowing with sparks of fire that danced like captured fireflies in the twilight air.The nine weapons danced at a certain height above the forest floor, ready to receive orders from their masters. Each blade hummed with mystical energy that made the air itself tremble with deadly anticipation."Go!" Thodr cried, commanding the weapons with authority that shook the ancient trees themselves.Th
