Chapter 787: The Attack

"Kaile, have you had any gains from the Apocalypse recently?" Inside the Elf Temple, Mengniya asked Kaile.

"As for that, there have indeed been gains. I saw three black shadows heading toward our kingdom!" Colorful light swirled in Kaile's eyes as he said this to Mengniya.

Ever since the last reconnaissance mission was completed, Kaile had been kept in the Elf Temple by Andiya, to be taught by her personally. As Andiya had served as the Elf Grand Priest ever since the Millennium Holy War, her experience in teaching others to become a Grand Priest was naturally incredibly rich. Under Andiya's guidance, Kaile had initially mastered the abilities that an Elf Grand Priest should possess, and his cultivation in the Apocalypse was advancing by leaps and bounds, to the point that even Andiya could not help but marvel at his talent in this area.

"Three shadows?" Andiya's brows could not help but furrow. "If I am not mistaken, those three black shadows are highly likely to be the incoming Kaqinuo, but why would there be three?"

"I am not clear on that either, but I can sense that one of those three black shadows seems to have an inexplicable power masking its body, making it impossible for me to peek at its true form!"

"There is an inexplicable power masking it?" Andiya's brows furrowed slightly.

"If the opponent is a god, it is only reasonable that with Kaile's current strength, he cannot see through their true form," Aiweier said. "Besides, even if the opponent has three gods, do we have any fewer gods on our side?"

Andiya smiled upon hearing this; indeed, they had as many as three gods on their side, and each of them possessed extremely formidable strength. Coupled with the home-field advantage, they could definitely make the opponent suffer a crushing defeat here.

Just a few days after everyone waited in peace, an alarm sound suddenly resounded throughout the sky of the entire Elf Kingdom.

"This is... an enemy attack?" Upon hearing this sound, Andiya knew exactly what situation had occurred.

"To be able to make the Elf Array issue this kind of warning, the person attacking must undoubtedly be a god!" Aiweier said, narrowing her eyes. "In other words, the enemy we were waiting for has arrived!"

At the same time the alarm sounded, Mengniya, who was presiding over the Elf Royal City, issued the highest-level evacuation order. And this order had not been issued even once since the Millennium Holy War.

After the evacuation order rang out, the members of the Elf race, under the guidance of the Pawn, retreated in an orderly fashion into the shelters that the Elf race had long since prepared. These shelters had undergone layers of reinforcement by the Elf race over so many years; even a god would have to expend a great deal of effort to break through the defenses of these shelters.

At the same time, the Elf Array that shrouded the entire Morning Light Forest began to shrink. With every bit it shrank inward, the light of the Elf Array became one degree more intense. When the Elf Array shrank to shroud the entire Elf Royal City, it looked just like a green lid.

And the Elf Array in this state was the very state that had once left the Lord of the Demon World with no temper. In this state, the Elf Array completely abandoned its offensive capabilities and used all its power for defense, forming a Wall of Sighs that could not be crossed.

"The Elf Array in its ultimate defensive state; how long has it been since I last saw this state!" Looking at the green light shrouding the sky, Andiya said with a sigh.

"If it weren't to prevent the power from our battle from affecting the Elf Kingdom when we fight, we wouldn't have activated this mode!" Aiweier said with a touch of haughtiness.

At the same time, three black shadows with concealed auras were rapidly shuttling through the Morning Light Forest.

Suddenly, one of the black shadows spoke: "Proceed at full speed; we don't need to hide anymore. The Elf race already knows we have arrived!"

"How is this possible? We have the concealment spell you cast on us; how could we be discovered?" one of the tall, black-shadowed figures spoke in a muffled voice.

"Heh, we underestimated the foundation of the Elf race and underestimated the power of the Elf Array. Perhaps we were detected by them the very first step we took into the Morning Light Forest!" that black shadow said. "Did you not notice that the power of the Elf Array shrouding the entire Morning Light Forest quietly disappeared just now?"

"The power of the Elf Array disappeared?" The tall black shadow shook his body and discovered that the power which had previously been faintly suppressing him had truly vanished.

"Since the other party already knows we have arrived, there is no need to be secretive. I hate this kind of sneaky behavior the most!" Knowing that he had been discovered, the tall black shadow suddenly lunged forward.

Terrifying Divine Power was released from his body, turning into a stream of light as he dashed toward the direction of the Elf Kingdom. Every object blocking his path was torn to shreds by the Divine Power on his body.

"They're here!" Suspended in mid-air, Andiya gazed at the tall figure breaking through all obstacles and rushing toward the Elf Kingdom, a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes.

"Your Highness Goddess, can you leave this big guy to me?" Andiya asked Aiweier beside her.

"Mm, sure! I'm still more interested in that third person right now!" Aiweier nodded. "But I've already said, no need to call me Your Highness Goddess; after all, Andiya, you are also a goddess now!"

Andiya smiled, then slowly raised the Elf Holy Bow in her hand. Boundless Natural Power gathered upon the Elf Holy Bow, transforming into a sharp arrow.

"Hit!" Andiya suddenly released her hand, and the sharp arrow turned into a stream of light, whistling toward the direction of the figure.

The Beast God, who was charging forward frantically, suddenly felt a powerful force attacking from the sky toward his direction. He looked up abruptly, and a sharp arrow condensed from Natural Power was attacking toward him.

The moment he saw this sharp arrow, the Beast God's pupils constricted. After the Millennium Holy War ended, it was precisely such a sharp arrow that had directly beaten him into a near-death state. If it weren't for Kaqinuo's intervention this time, he might still be nursing his wounds now.

"Elf Goddess? It's actually you! Die for me!"

Thinking of this, a trace of anger could not help but appear in the Beast God's eyes, and a heaven-shaking roar shook the entire forest. Massive Divine Power condensed in his hand, forming a giant beast head that blasted toward the direction of the sharp arrow.

Two powerful forces collided in the sky, emitting a violent boom. Layers of air waves rolled, blowing large swaths of trees until they swayed incessantly, and also unveiling the prelude to this battle.
