Chapter 386

Legend!

Those three words made the adjutant draw a deep breath.

The news that the Royal Army of the Os Kingdom, ten thousand elite troops, had been decimated by a single strike from a legendary elf quickly spread throughout the Eight Kingdoms south of the Loki Forest, who had planned to join forces and attack the Loki Forest.

In fact, if Lomina had struck again, not a single one of those ten thousand troops would have survived.

But this warning carried more symbolic weight than actual slaughter, so she struck only once.

Even so, it was astonishing enough.

Meanwhile, news also spread among the Eight Kingdoms that a wall of ice, a kilometer high and of unknown thickness, impervious even to Seventh-Rank knights, had appeared within the Loki Mountains.

"King of Os, didn't you say the elf empire's legend could only manifest its legendary power beside the Life Tree? For this battle, we paid ten million gold coins to hire a legendary being for one day, planning for them to strike only when we reached near the elf empire's Life Tree—but now the elf's legend can move freely! What's the point of fighting anymore?!"

In the capital city of the Os Kingdom, a king demanded an answer.

A legendary being—that is, a Ninth-Rank Pretender Saint!

In ordinary human kingdoms, the absolute maximum might possess one Eighth-Rank forbidden spell; a Ninth-Rank legend was impossible to have.

According to a rumor the King of Os had somehow obtained, the elf empire's legend could only wield legendary power near the Life Tree.

So the Eight Kingdoms had paid ten million gold coins to hire a legendary being for one day, intending for them to strike only once the attackers neared the Life Tree.

But now Lomina's strike had completely ruined their plan.

What worried them even more was that the elf empire's legend might come to them and launch a decapitation strike.

A legendary being was too terrifying.

Coupled with the existence of that ice wall, the kings of the Eight Kingdoms, in frustration, instantly abandoned all thoughts of attacking the Loki Forest.

Each king endured a long period of anxious, sleepless nights.

Some kings even stayed day and night in the church's headquarters, for the church housed many powerful figures and was the closest place on the Gods' Continent to the divine—offering them at least some sense of security!
