they just fainted and will recover shortly,” Lis replied nonchalantly, as he picked up Gardley from the ground and placed him onto a nearby tree stump to watch over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay then,” Cecil conceded, feeling that there really was no need, and then followed Lis away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a slender figure appeared beside Gardley, squatting down to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the surroundings carefully, Erza spoke to someone not far away:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come out, that person has indeed left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gardley isn’t seriously hurt either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her voice faded away, another figure carrying the Elf Warrior jumped down from the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza laid Pedros next to Gardley, breathing in short gasps:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff… he really left, could we have been mistaken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Elf Ranger, Erza wasn’t very strong; thankfully, Pedros being an Elf Warrior, wasn’t too heavy. Otherwise, she really couldn’t have managed to move him by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must have been mistaken,” Erza nodded, her complexion not looking too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was keeping an eye on that blond elf, and her expression seemed normal; she probably wasn’t controlled by any Confusion Control System spell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… This makes it difficult,” Erza expressed with a hint of bitter smile, her right hand covering her clean forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s done; I’ve already notified Lord Baldivia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not to blame. If it were me, I would have made the same choice to notify Lord Baldivia,” Erza comforted her companion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, that human’s strength was rather unnatural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m starting to doubt whether my martial arts were a waste of time to learn, completely useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s wait and see, though I wonder where that person intends to take the elf?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza sat on the ground, hands spread open, propping herself up and sighed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only good news might be that the person doesn’t seem to bear us any hostility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really don’t want to encounter that person again while we’re chasing down those revolting Slave Hunting Teams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the look Lis had given them when he left, as well as that chilling, terrifying killing intent, Erza couldn’t help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, in the Elf Forest’s Akar River Valley,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear stream, like a silver ribbon, squirmed its way through the deep valley. The babbling of the water was like the sound of nature itself, refreshing the mind and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woods on both sides were dense and thriving. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows that added a sense of mystery and vitality to this tranquil valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the valley was exceptionally fresh, tinged with the fragrance of soil and vegetation, compelling one to take a deep breath as if to cleanse the dust from within. In this peaceful and beautiful valley, it seemed as though time itself had slowed down, intoxicating those present with a desire to linger forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was deep within the Elf Forest, rarely traced by humans, and even elves seldom passed through here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, the quietude of the valley was disturbed; the arrival of uninvited guests brought a new unease.\u003C\u002Fp>",965,"2026-06-03T10:58:35.280Z","2026-06-03T10:58:41.914Z",1,"novelbin.me","4079da58d31e3e00ee09ddb4fe546d0c46a85086c29a194c56ed0573f90aaca3","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-576","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-574",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
