Chapter 430: Legend Against Legend! The Fallen Elf Appears!

In the Dark Forest, the elves rested only briefly before resuming their clearing work.

With the threat of skeleton monsters gone, their clearing speed quickened again.

"At this rate, we'll finish the main clearing within a month at most."

The elves planned thus.

Every elf's face shone with smiles.

"Maji, the winged elves no longer need to clear land—take to the skies and scout for dangers ahead."

Princess Chenxi decided to assign the scouting task to the winged elves.

Scouting was hardly easier than clearing, and even placed a greater burden on spiritual energy.

Previously, the winged elves had no formal faith in the Lord of Flame; the faith-lines had not been established, and praying for Sacred Flame consumed a great deal of elf energy.

So they had not joined the scouting.

Moreover, their strength was weak, and scouting had once been dangerous.

Some powerful skeleton monsters might have burst from the forest to harm them.

Now there was no need to worry—the skeleton monsters had likely been mostly slain.

Yet much distance still lay westward to clear, and other dark creatures might still lurk.

Maji, leader of the winged elves, nodded and began assigning scouting duties.

Thousands of winged elves patrolled the airspace.

"Don't fly too low, and don't land on the canopy—watch for dark creatures attacking you. This area has few dark creatures, so you may rest somewhat, but beyond the range of Holy Light purification, stay alert at all times."

Small-statured Maji instructed all the winged elves.

Among all elves, winged elves and wind elves were the smallest in stature.

Night elves, Greenland elves, and Sun elves were tall and slender.

This was likely because winged elves needed to fly—too tall or heavy a body would burden their wings greatly.

Wind elves excelled in wind magic; their speed was swift as the wind, and their figures were likewise petite and lovely.

Princess Chenxi left the elves' long clearing line and flew westward.

Though the battle here was over, hundreds of kilometers to the west, another battle raged.

Only two combatants were involved in this battle.

The former chieftain of the Night Elf tribe—her nominal mother, Lomina.

The other side was a legendary skeleton monster among the skeleton horde.

Dark creatures were bound by the Dark Forest; most feared light and dared not emerge.

But once they Reached Sixth Rank, some dark creatures dared to burst out briefly.

If not Holy Light, but sunlight, Sixth Rank dark creatures could even endure it for over a minute.

Of course, the longer they stayed, the stronger sunlight's lethal effect became—and being able to endure it did not mean they suffered no harm.

So they never ventured out just to bask in the sun.

They disliked the sun.

Once they Reached Seventh Rank, they generally gained the ability to fly.

Eighth or Ninth Rank creatures needed no mention—their time fighting outside the Dark Forest grew even longer.

That Ninth Rank skeleton monster could even fight Lomina continuously for over ten minutes beyond the Dark Forest.

Princess Chenxi quickly flew beyond the area of the giant Sacred Flame explosion.

Then she periodically dropped a Sacred Flame into the Dark Forest, and still saw skeleton monsters moving eastward.

But their density had dropped drastically—they were sparse and posed no threat whatsoever to the elves.

It could be said that more than half the skeleton monsters in this area had been slain.

The elves' clearing speed would now accelerate dramatically!

Yet Princess Chenxi remained cautious, dropping Sacred Flames at intervals to monitor the skeleton monsters' movements.

Soon, she flew hundreds of miles and saw ahead a towering Shanfeng, where Lomina battled a skeleton monster in the sky beside it.

The aura of a legendary being's battle was staggering; magical fluctuations could be felt from afar.

But since the battle took place in the sky, its impact on the ground was minimal.

Moreover, Lomina specialized not in energy-based magic—energy magic typically carried devastating area destruction.

Lomina's magic was mostly channeled through her bow and curved blade.

In pinpoint strikes, she was exceptionally potent.

The realm represented by "legendary" meant not only the ability to unleash devastating attacks, but also a dawning understanding of the world's essence.

In simple terms, they began touching the power of rules!

The same spell, cast by a legendary being, was more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary mage.

This was because legendary beings understood magic more deeply, and thus wielded greater power naturally.

"Whoosh!"

Lomina's arrow shot straight at the skeleton monster, which twisted sharply—barely avoiding the arrow.
