Chapter 770: The Dragon Princess in Distress
The Undead Demon Army's offensive against the Elf Kingdom lasted for a full half-month; for half a month, the Undead Demon Army's relentless, sleepless attacks placed immense pressure on the Elf Race.
However, the Elf Race was worthy of being the race sheltered by the Lingyun Mercenary Group after the Millennium Holy War; during this period, all kinds of trump cards emerged one after another, and even though the Undead Demon Army's offensive was fierce, they could not break through their defensive lines.
"Boom—"
Amidst a violent roar, the last Bone Giant completely turned into fly ash under Lingyun's fist.
Lingyun shook his hand and let out a light breath. The strength of this Bone Giant had already reached the Peak of Divine Domain, and coupled with the support of the Death Qi from the entire Undead Demon Army, Lingyun had to tear it apart dozens of times before completely eliminating it.
"It's finally over." After the last undead collapsed, an Elf Warrior slumped directly onto the ground, his chest heaving violently; it was clear he had expended a great deal of energy.
"That's right, who would have thought these bags of bones would be even more troublesome than the guys we encountered in the Arena." Another Elf Warrior also disregarded his image and lay flat on the ground.
"These warriors have truly worked hard during this time." Andiya hovered in the sky, looking down at the Elf Warriors who had no image left to speak of.
"There's no helping it; anyone who had to deal with those sleepless bags of bones for a full half-month would be exhausted and collapse on the ground," Lingyun said to Andiya. "Besides, it's not like we didn't have any gains; those two guys who were sealed should be enough for us to find the mastermind behind the scenes."
Just as the Elf Race was celebrating their repelling of the Undead Demon Army's offensive, a figure in a deep, dark cave angrily smashed the Communication Crystal in their hand to pieces.
"Damn it, damn it, I created such favorable conditions for you and prepared such powerful items for you, yet you actually failed! Trash, you are all trash."
"No, what I am more concerned about now is who could possibly stop the actions of Nuote and Diersi. After all, as long as they entered the range of the Eternal Ancient Tree, our plan basically had no possibility of failure," the Fate Mage said with a frown. The Elf Kingdom had now become a forbidden zone for him to peer into fate, and he could not know what had happened there.
"Heh, worthy of being a race shrouded by the legacy of the Lingyun Mercenary Group, to actually possess such ability. Was holding back until now waiting for me to make a move, and then striking with one hit?" There was a hint of admiration in the dark shadow's tone. "Truly worthy of being the greatest enemy of mine that you predicted in fate."
"The situation has now become very severe; our sabotage operation against the Eternal Ancient Tree has failed, and we cannot be sure if the other side has locked onto our identities. Under these circumstances, we don't have much time left," the Fate Mage's tone held a hint of gravity.
"I also don't know how the research over there is progressing; I hope that mother dragon does not disappoint us!" the dark shadow said.
Just at this moment, an inexplicable fluctuation arrived, causing the dark shadow's body to tremble involuntarily.
"Wait, what is this feeling?" The dark shadow suddenly cast his gaze toward the tall figure standing to the side; just now, he had actually felt a sense of resonance with that figure.
"It's resonance, did we succeed?" After calming his heart to feel it for a while, there was a hint of undisguised excitement in the dark shadow's tone.
Although the resonance lasted only for the blink of an eye, the dark shadow still felt the terrifying power hidden within that body. Even having lost all Demon Qi, the power of the Demon World Lord's remains still made him feel shocked.
Compared to the excitement in the dark shadow's tone, the Fate Mage was much calmer: "Truly worthy of being the Fate Child, to actually be able to let us have such great progress in such a short time. It seems our research direction is correct; as long as we control the Fate Child, the future of this Continent will be in our hands."
"That's right, such a good experimental subject, we must keep her well; after all, our future has many studies that still rely on her help!" The dark shadow nodded. "But, our situation here must absolutely not fall behind; after all, strength is the foundation of everything we possess!"
"I know that, of course, but there is one more very important matter now," the Fate Mage said. "That mother dragon is going to die!"
"What is the situation? How could she be dying?" There was a hint of confusion in the dark shadow's tone.
"Have you forgotten? To achieve this trace of soul resonance you have now, what your descendants did to her. If we don't remedy it in time, even if the gods were to revive, they couldn't save her!" A void appeared in the Fate Mage's pupils, as if he had seen the trajectory of fate.
"That won't do; that mother dragon is more valuable alive than dead!" the dark shadow said.
However, sometimes tragedy often happens when you are at your happiest. While the Fate Mage and the dark shadow were discussing how to make good use of the Daiweina they had captured, the Communication Crystal on the dark shadow's body suddenly lit up.
When the dark shadow saw the content on the Communication Crystal, he was so angry that he directly crushed the crystal in his hand into powder.
"Trash, truly a bunch of trash!"
"What is it again?"
"That mother dragon was rescued by someone!" The dark shadow's words caused the Fate Mage's expression to turn ugly immediately.
"Rescued by someone? How is this possible? Do you know who made the move?" the Fate Mage asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." The dark shadow shook his head.
"Can't you even calculate where she is now?" the dark shadow asked.
"That is the Fate Child, after all. Now that she is facing a crisis, this world will naturally protect her; with my current strength, wanting to find her is not an easy task," the Fate Mage shook his head.
"Then forget it; anyway, she still has the Linghun Yinjie we branded on her, no matter where she runs, we can catch her back!" the dark shadow said. "Those people under my command should have all gone to pursue; let's just wait for their news."
On a plain, dozens of figures were sprinting forward. On the back of the person in the lead was a woman with a pale complexion.
Looking closely at the woman, it was actually the Dragon Princess Daiweina. However, the current Daiweina no longer had her previous dashing and heroic bearing, but appeared extremely fragile. Not only had she fallen into a coma, but her entire aura appeared extremely weak; if it weren't for the Spirit who was carrying her using his Natural Magic to maintain her current state, this Fate Child of the God-Given Continent might have already breathed her last.
"Captain, this woman seems to have some kind of tracking spell on her that we cannot detect right now; the decoys we set up had no effect," a figure quickly caught up from behind and reported to the Spirit carrying Daiweina.
"I understand, then let's not waste any more effort setting up decoys. I have already sent a request for reinforcements to the High Priest; as long as we hold on for a while longer, our reinforcements will arrive," Kaile, acting as captain, frowned and made a decision. "This woman was rescued from the destination we were scouting; perhaps she might know some things we don't know."
"Yes, we will try our best to intercept those pursuers," the Spirit scout replied, then turned and swept in the opposite direction of the group.
