Chapter 394

In fact, Lomina was also surprised.

Over fifty thousand night elves were equally astonished.

They had never expected that the Lord of Flames would directly bestow flames that emitted holy light when burning!

This was simply too astonishing!

"My god, so many!"

Anna was utterly stunned.

She gained a clearer understanding once again of the Lord of Flames' immense power.

The Lord of Flames controlled all flames in the world.

Not only did He possess flames that absorbed heat and froze the surroundings rapidly,

but He also had flames that emitted holy light when burning!

And there were so many of them!

"Thank you, my god!"

Lomina concealed her inner shock and devoutly conveyed her gratitude to the Lord of Flames, then said:

"I never expected my god would bestow holy flame. Anna, you take charge of the reclamation; I'll go ahead to guard against any powerful dark creatures launching ambushes."

"Me? Fine, leave it to me. With this holy flame, ordinary dark creatures won't dare come near—we'll greatly increase both our speed and safety. The only things to watch out for are powerful dark creatures and legendary beings; those are your responsibility, Lomina."

Anna said.

Yes, many dark creatures in the Dark Forest feared light.

Thus, when the Loki Forest was being reclaimed, the tens of thousands of elves assigned to reclamation moved extremely slowly; it took them decades to reclaim the entire Loki Forest.

Because they had to wait until darkness was completely driven away before advancing uniformly, so dark creatures wouldn't ambush them.

Though their strength was not weak, they still couldn't withstand constant ambushes from dark creatures.

If even a few died today and a few more tomorrow, how could the already small elven race bear such losses?

Originally, whether it was Princess Chenxi, Lomina, or Anna, all had prepared to spend decades on reclamation.

But.

They never imagined that the great Lord of Flames would directly bestow holy flame!

With this holy flame that could instantly dispel darkness and was endlessly replenishable, their reclamation speed would be astonishing!

In fact, they might complete the entire project—something the elves of the Loki Empire had spent decades on—in just a few months!

If this were known, it would make the Loki elves, who had spent decades and still believed they'd accomplished something great, instantly feel their decades had been wasted.

Hmm, it's the comparison that's the problem!

After witnessing the holy flame, both the green elves and night elves were all wildly excited!

They were all marveling at the Lord of Flames' wonder and power!

Seeing Anna agree, Lomina said: "Place a holy flame every hundred meters; this ensures full coverage. Since my god has bestowed this divine artifact, let's accelerate reclamation. Anna, your Green Elf clan should join too—my god has sent revelation: as long as you pray to the Lord of Flames, you too can obtain holy flame."

"Huh? We can too?"

Anna couldn't help but feel delighted, yet she wondered whether this might be improper, since they already had a deity of faith.

Lomina nodded and said casually: "It's just prayer. It's nothing."

Anna thought for a moment and said: "Alright, we can't just sit idle and reap benefits without effort. I'll have them all join."

Lomina said: "Good. I leave this to you. I'll go ahead to guard. Advance steadily; don't rush."

Anna said: "Got it!"

Lomina flew to the front of the formation, constantly sensing for powerful dark creature signatures.

Anna, meanwhile, oversaw the entire reclamation process.

Under her command, the green elves and night elves split into five columns, forming five long lines stretching over ten kilometers, beginning steady advancement.

The vast number of Fifth-Rank and Sixth-Rank elves from both clans did not participate in reclamation; they were evenly distributed between the lines, tasked with vigilance.

After all, safety comes first.

Though sacrificing some speed for safety, the reclamation pace was still astonishing thanks to the holy flame.

Darkness in the forest was continuously being illuminated.

Whether vertically or horizontally, a holy flame appeared every fifty meters.

The holy light they emitted dispelled all surrounding darkness.

Obtaining holy flame through prayer still required spiritual energy, but only a small amount.

Even so, frequent prayer remained a burden.

This was why Anna divided all elves into five long lines.

Otherwise, they could have formed just one line and advanced inward!

Of these five rows of night elves, two rows took turns praying.

What did the other three rows do?

Their role was simple.

Once the front-row night elves reclaimed over a thousand meters, they retrieved the last holy flame and carried it to the front for reuse.

Once dark matter was dispelled, it wouldn't spontaneously reappear unless dark matter from elsewhere surged in.

Yes, although dark matter could cling to plants, under holy light, the dark matter on plants was also completely eradicated.

Thus, the rear holy flames could be reused repeatedly.

This formed a wheel.

Rolling swiftly inward.

Of course, the holy flames on the northern side of the formation were not retrieved; not only were they not retrieved, someone would come in two days to replenish them.

Because that area hasn't been cultivated yet, they must first push cultivation inward for a while before moving northward!

"This cultivation speed is too fast."

In the sky, Lomina, while keeping watch, said.

The elves can cultivate more than five kilometers into the Dark Forest per hour on average!

In just half a day, they've already carved out a rectangle thirty kilometers deep and tens of kilometers wide!

It's easy to imagine that as more elves join the cultivation, the speed will only increase further—they may truly accomplish clearing a forest as vast as Loki Forest in just one or two months!
