Chapter 2918: The Demigod Elven King

Since Amelia could try her own method, everyone split up. Vanessa returned to the church camp to join Megan and Flora, and informed the church that the "God-Caller" still had a plan. And regardless of whether Amelia's method was feasible, the White Ape Canyon would be a true forbidden area from now on.

Miss O'Lannod accompanied the two. She possessed special resistance not only because of her identity as a Thirteen-Tier witch but also because she had obtained the protection of the Tree Father as a "helper of the War of Time."

The "Blade of the Firmament" "survived" the collective shrinking event of the Thirteen-Ring mages last week, also for this reason.

The three acted very quickly. When they returned to the canyon from the summit, the only traces of the battle with the monster were the dead trees lying all over the ground.

Amelia was actually very curious about what the monster was, but Xia De couldn't say either:

"The other party might be a time traveler who strayed into the doomsday time and space for other reasons... Speaking of which, I have encountered things that crawled out of time rifts for no reason before, and the other party seemed to be wearing a green gemstone ring too."

"She" in his ear chuckled, Xia De was startled, and then realized the cause and effect.

But the most important thing now was the black rift. As the three got closer and closer to the black building in the canyon, Miss O'Lannod and Amelia both showed discomfort one after another.

And what made Xia De slightly surprised was that the first thing protecting Amelia was not the crown on her head, but the leaf vein patterns that suddenly appeared on the back of her right hand. The power of the Chosen One of Time was spontaneously resisting the power of the doomsday, even without Amelia's active control.

"Miss O'Lannod, can you see the origin of this building?"

When the black building was fully reflected in the dead tree forest, Xia De asked softly. The yellow-haired witch stood beside Xia De, her frowning expression showing she was resisting the discomfort at the moment, but she could still answer Xia De's question:

"It looks like the style of a mausoleum."

"A mausoleum?"

"Yes, it's not just mages who lose control. In fact, according to Teacher Feilian's investigation, supernatural beings of any system can lose control after the end of the First Era. And even after powerful supernatural beings die, their out-of-control corpses are still incomparably terrifying, so the ancient Death Sect constructed a method of using mausoleums to seal out-of-control corpses."

"The building in front of us is very similar to the 'underground sealing mausoleum' described in ancient books, and it is highly likely that it used the same technology."

Since the origin of the technology had been found, once it was ensured that the rift had returned to a controllable state, the church and the academy could be allowed to find a way to repair this mausoleum and then restore this place to its original state.

After crossing the lightless black archway and entering the interior of the building, the dark and oppressive atmosphere made Amelia hold her breath subconsciously.

There were more dead tree roots everywhere than before, and in the center of the building's interior, the rift, as the only "light source," was still being locked tightly by the wriggling tree roots. On the high platform directly below the rift, the mountain of dead tree roots was gradually turning into sand and disappearing; otherwise, there would be even more tree roots piled up here.

Seeing that Amelia and Miss O'Lannod's expressions were not good, Xia De held their hands, one on each side. After the three arrived in front of the rift, he was the first to draw his staff again and use the "Stability Principle of Ancient Elves."

When the lush tree canopy covered their heads, their expressions finally improved a little.

Without anyone urging, Amelia, wearing the crown, took the initiative to walk to the rift. The dense tree roots entwined around the rift seemed to have consciousness and let go a little, allowing the elf to face the light in the rift directly.

Amelia's little face was pale, but she still raised her right hand to aim at the light in front of her, the light shining from the leaf vein patterns on the back of her hand at this moment. The emerald Thirteen-Ring Life Ring behind her resonated with 【Elven Kingship】.

Thus, in that blurry emerald green light, several tall figures appeared around Amelia.

Xia De could not see their specific faces clearly, but the only thing he was sure of was that they all had the pointed ears iconic to elves, including men and women, but even the shortest one was much taller than Xia De.

Those figures were either wearing light armor in elven style or wearing embroidered long dresses, and all the figures reached out their hands toward the rift along with Amelia. At this moment, the emerald green light finally illuminated every corner of the building's interior.

【Staff of Yggdrasil】 also resonated. The phantom of that lush big tree finally broke through the limitations of the building. To the people in the camp outside, the giant tree rose from the center of the canyon and finally covered the entire middle section of the canyon.

*Crack! *

In the hands of Amelia and the many Elven King phantoms, the rift gradually closed inward. The power of the ancient Elven Kings who had been blessed by the Tree Father was fully activated at this moment. Those figures grabbed the rift together with Amelia and held it tightly in their hands, and the tree roots that drilled out from the ground wrapped around the rift even more forcefully.

It just didn't seem enough, because Amelia, after all, had not faced the power of the doomsday for a long time. Just as the little elf was gritting her teeth and about to faint, a powerful hand supported her back, and then she felt herself leaning into Xia De's arms, and Xia De's right hand reached out from beside her.

Xia De's hand grasped Amelia's hand, and the feeling of grasping time and space after attaching 【Farewell's Teardrop】 appeared again. Finally, the dim yellow light became weaker and weaker, until only the last trace remained hidden in that emerald green light.

This was already the limit. The faint light on Amelia's hand and the crown on her head also began to weaken at this time. When darkness descended on the surroundings again, the active tree roots had completely disappeared, and only that fine rift, the length of a middle finger, remained in front of the three.

A faint and dim light seeped out from it. At this time, even if Xia De no longer cast spells, Amelia and Miss O'Lannod, who were exposed to that ray of light, no longer felt their bodies standing unsteadily.

However, Amelia was still exhausted. Not only did the crown on her head stop glowing, but she even felt that she couldn't even open her eyes. Xia De carefully held her in his arms, and Miss O'Lannod explained:

"In some special occasions related to world stability, she can borrow the power of the ancient Elven Kings like just now. Those Elven Kings of the ancient era, although they were demigods like the Great Witches of the Fifth Era, were demigods blessed by gods, which far exceeds the understanding of later generations.

Only such power can re-stabilize time, but it seems that this rift is still active."

"Yes."

Xia De wrapped his waist around Amelia with his slightly trembling right hand and reached his left hand in front of the rift:

"It is still trying to expand. This method can still only maintain safety for a period of time. The next time it expands again, I am afraid it will be more dangerous than it just showed. I think only the Chosen One of Time has the ability to completely control it."

"Do you have no method either?"

Miss O'Lannod asked Xia De, Xia De frowned and hesitated for a moment:

"Not long ago, I cast a spell to freeze time. But this is different. What I froze last time was just a chaotic and disordered time zone, and I only temporarily froze it and then passed through it safely. The time rift that has already formed in front of me is much stronger than that, not to mention permanent freezing... For the time being, I can't do that."

Having temporarily controlled the rift, the rest of the things were left to the church and the academy. And Vanessa, Megan, and Flora, who had returned to the ship one step ahead, also brought everyone the good news that Amelia had successfully returned and had become an Eight-Ring mage.

"Who did she bring back? Miss Feilian?"

Luvia cared about this question very much. Although the fortune-teller lady was confident that her status in Xia De's heart was unique, she still thought that there were a few possible "opponents," and the most dangerous one was undoubtedly Mana Feilian.

"No. The one who came back with Amelia is Miss Blaney O'Lannod, the first librarian of your academy. Speaking of which, is it that except for Xia De, no one has seen that lady?"

"That lady appeared in the Battle of Pantanal after being called by Xia De's Sublimation Words, but at that time, no one should have seen her at close range except Iluna."

Luvia pointed out. Hearing that it was not Miss Feilian, she didn't care much, and the "other me" in her ear mocked herself with a bit of bad taste for thinking too much. The long-haired Luvia didn't worry at all that her charm would be inferior to those old women of the Fifth Era.

Since such an important guest had arrived, the witches and Miss Ilayse arranged to hold a welcome banquet on the ship as Xia De said yesterday, and Miss Danister, who heard the news a little later, had a quite complicated expression.

"Why, no confidence now?"

Flora teased her good friend on the side:

"Although I also know that compared to that first librarian of the Fifth Era, you don't have much advantage except for age, but I still support you, Danister."

The red-haired girl rolled her eyes at her—this action was very girlish:

"Although Xia De rarely mentions the ladies from the early days of the academy, we talked in detail several times after Miss Feilian left in the summer. Although he doesn't admit it, he definitely doesn't just hold the feelings of a teacher and student for those ladies."

"Just like for you?"

"Flora~"

"Why are you always unwilling to face your own thoughts? I thought Xiwei and the others were 'reserved' enough. Now it seems that this is really a common problem for the female mages of our era."

The two were still in the hotel now. Xia De expected to move into the hotel to live tonight, and Flora would have to move out then, so she wanted to linger for a while longer. ===== CHAPTER 2919 =====
