In the Sanctum of the World Tree.
While the Saintess concentrated on the corruption of the world Tree.
Many pairs of dark eyes fell over the World Tree.
“I don’t know the motive of the human but he made our work quite easy.”
“Yes, the Elf King and Elder focus is shifted to the human.”
“Now is the chance to kill The Saintess and destroy the world Tree. In doing so we will also give a devastating blow to humans. Without Saintess they would surely panic.”
“Hehehe!”
Several voices resounded who concluded that the opt time to attack was now.
Swoosh!
Several rays shot towards the Sanctum with an astonishing speed carrying an unfathomable aura.
Irina who was walking to and fro noticed this and her expression became pale.
She tried to attack them but she was blown away with a single hit.
She was in the Supreme realm but she did not possess any threat to a group of people who are either as strong as her or stronger than her.
The only one who could deal with them was Saintess; however, she was too focused to notice the darting figure.
As one of the figures came close to Saintess Penelope, the claws of his arms extended and moved straight towards Saintess’s neck.
However, before the sharp claws could pierce her neck, his body suddenly halted.
A strong force seemed to grab his nape rendering him immobile.
“Kayak!”
His body yanked as he was pulled back and then his eyes met with a bloody pair of dark red eyes.
“Yoooo!”
“What…”
The man shouted in panic, as Alex smashed his fist towards the dark elf’s face. However, a barrier of darkness appeared to block his punch.
As soon as Alex’s fist collided with the barrier, a resounding cracking sound filled their surroundings and the barrier shattered like glass much to Dark Elf’s surprise.
The Dark Elf who tries to attack and protect himself was stomped on his face sending his whole body flying off the raised platform.
Everything happened so fast that nobody was able to react. The only thing they heard was the shattering of the barrier and Dark Elf’s scream as his body slammed into the platform and dug deep into the ground crafting a crater around them.
When the old Dark Elf opened his eyes with a cough.
Alex appeared in his blurry vision and when his vision recovered, he saw 6 of his men being grabbed by Elders with the Elf King standing there with a face boiling with anger.
“You…were not fighting the Elf king so why are you here?”
“Why are all the Elders here?”
The Dark Elf questioned with disbelief.
…….
Alex, when using his mana sense, found many dark dots representing Dark Elf who have submitted to Darkness in Elf territory.
They seemed to use some kind of magic to hide their tan skin colour and appearance and they had already infiltrated Dark Elves’ ranks.
Since he was here, it was better to kill them all in one sweep.
He decided to enter as an intruder and kill the dark elves specifically.
This attracted the Elf King and when both of them fought, Alex discussed with him who informed the plans to the top Elders of the council.
Alex and The Elf King controlled their strength in the fight and their aftermath hit only the dark Elves.
This also gave the chance to the upper member of the Dark Elves hiding here to make a move.
However, this bastard lying under his feet was a member of the Council and was an Overlord rank expert. On top of that, he holds the 6th most position according to importance.
“Elder Lin, why….since when?”Hindell roared in anger.
Lin, who was shocked, suddenly laughed.
“Hahaha…I had no choice. If I had to reach the Overlord realm I need help and this help came to me 100 years ago.”
“What. It means since 100 years ago…?”
The Elders gasped in shock.
“I will keep my end of the bargain and cure the world tree now.”
“I am leaving this bastard in your hand and heed my advice. Kill them, you will regret it if you keep them alive.”
“These bugs are quite good at sneaking out.”
“We will deal with them today. I don’t even want to see this bastard alive.”Hindell replied and took Lin
Alex nodded and walked towards the World Tree.
The tree trunk had a radius of a few kilometres and all the trees around the forest originated from the branches of the world tree.
“So, you are here Guardian.”
A sweet and pleasant voice echoed in his ears.
“This humble one greets the Saintess. May eternal light shine upon you.”
“Thanks for taking care of Athena till now,” Alex spoke.
“It’s just due to my selfishness. The child’s density to become Saintess had already been fixed from birth. Although she had taken a detour, she needed to hold the mantle soon.”
“This old one may meet death soon.”Saintess Penelope replied with a smile.
“You are joking. You still have that glowing radiance of youth.”
“It’s just an external appearance that is maintained by divine power. I am already an old hag.”
Alex’s eyes twitched and his expression crumbled.
It was the first time he heard a lady calling herself old and accepting the truth.
‘She seems to be kinder and purer than I imagine.’Alex thought inwardly.
“By the way what do you mean by a guardian?”Alex asked with an embarrassed expression.
“Goddess Hirt already spoke about you.”
“She said knowing your temper, you will come as soon as possible and things will be over very quickly.”
“Hmm!” Alex nodded with a serious expression.
“I will purify the corruption however the world Tree has lost a bit of its vitality.”
“You still need to instil vitality into it.”
Penelope nodded and stepped back.
“I wish you success.”
