Chapter 583 - The Awkward Elven King
Chapter 583: The Awkward Elven King
“Long live the elves! Long live His Majesty!”
The Elven King’s words made the elves below excited, and they raised the weapons in their hands.
The Elven King put his hands together, and circles of green hurricanes appeared on his arms. Those hurricanes connected and turned into a massive wind blade 100 meters tall, looking solid. The whistling hurricanes sucked the air in the vicinity, making it difficult for the elves to breathe.
“Platinum-tier fighting technique, Storm Breath Cut!”
Swoosh!
The 100-meter-long giant sword suddenly fell and cut through the starlight barrier at a breakneck speed. With a crisp sound, the Elven King put down his clasped hands, turned around, and made a relaxed pose without even looking at the barrier. He wanted to use the momentum of that sword to break the barrier to encourage the soldiers. However, after waiting for a long time, the expected cheer did not come. That made him a little stunned, and he subconsciously looked behind him.
There was not a single scratch on the barrier that he had hit with his platinum-tier fighting technique. When the hurricane sword, which was 100 meters tall, hit the barrier, it was like a gentle breeze blowing across the surface, and it quickly dissipated.
“What’s going on?”
The Elven King was dumbfounded. He was a peak-period platinum-tier elite. It was one thing if an ordinary platinum-tier soldier could not break through that barrier, but he was a peak platinum-tier elite. Perhaps the barrier was diamond-tier?
A diamond-tier barrier to cover such a large area? Even a diamond-tier mage might not be able to do it. At the very least, many diamond-tier mages would have to cast their spells together. However, he had never heard of such a mage in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
While he was thinking, the Elven King lowered his head and felt the strange expressions of the 100,000 elven troops behind him. That made his face burn.
Gritting his teeth, he continued to speak in a clear voice, “I didn’t expect that barrier to be so strong. I was just warming up. Now, I’m going to do it for real.”
“Druid secret spell, Storm Dragon King Transformation! Eight Layers of Storm Breath, break!”
Scales appeared on his body. The Elven King turned into a dragon with a storm wrapped around his body, emitting a diamond-tier aura. As the eight layers of tornadoes merged, the dragon’s breath, burning with green flames, shot out from the dragon’s head and landed heavily on the barrier.
The starlight barrier, which had not reacted a moment ago, rippled at that very moment. However, it was only a ripple. The scorching breath continued for a few minutes, and the Storm Dragon King, who was the Elven King, had blisters on his mouth. Even though his teeth were blackened by the heat, the starlight barrier still did not move at all.
“That barrier seems to be too strong. Even His Majesty could not break it using the Druid’s secret spell. It must be diamond-tier,” an elf said. The elves continued to look at the protective barrier that had not changed despite being burned.
“Perhaps the protective barrier’s strength is now high, but His Majesty might not be strong enough to break it. The King and the other elders might not have used the supernatural evolution’s power. Is there a drawback to the power?” Another elf said.
The elves did not speak loudly. However, the Elven King was a peak platinum-tier elite, so those words still reached his ears.
“Soldiers, attack that protective shield with me. We must be able to break it!”
The four elven Elders, led by Landon, flew into the sky and cast more Druid secret spells. They transformed into different magical beasts. They were either scratching with their claws or biting with their teeth as they released powerful magic attacks. No matter what kind of attack landed on the protective shield, it was fully absorbed by it. It could not break through the protective shield at all.
“D*mn it! What kind of magic is that? Why is it so strong? Even diamond-tier ores are not as strong as that protective shield.”
The Elven King used his dragon breath to attack the protective shield while gritting his teeth.
The elves were even more furious when the Elders and the Elven King could not break the barrier.
“What did His Majesty say? The elves are fearless in the face of difficulties. I didn’t expect to encounter difficulties when we arrived outside the Holy Dragon Kingdom. We haven’t even seen the fortress city.”
The lofty words that the Elven King had said were a perfect slap in his face.
“Your Majesty, it seems like we are unable to break that barrier.” Landon, who had transformed into a heaven-devouring python, grabbed the starlight barrier and bit it. Unfortunately, his teeth broke and fell, but the starlight barrier was still intact.
“We have to break it even if we can’t. Where are the dragons? Get them to help break this starlight barrier,” the Elven King spoke angrily.
He had used the Mountain Behemoth Synthetic Beast that he created through supernatural evolution. If they turned into giant beasts to attack the barrier, it would be possible to break it. However, that was his trump card. He did not want to use them lightly until he saw the humans in the fortress city.
“Your Majesty, did you call for me?”
A languid and soothing female voice sounded beside the Elven King. The green-haired Forest Dragon King, Rita, appeared beside the Elven King. She reached out and flipped her hair, a faint smile on her face.
As an ally of the elves, the dragons had to follow the elven army when they attacked the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, unlike the elves, the dragons chose to fly in the sky.
She had seen Watson caught by the elves and then captured by a synthetic beast. She had also seen Watson taken to the fortress city. She wanted to rescue him. However, after seeing Watson’s calm appearance, she understood that Watson was just acting. She was relieved and chose to cooperate with him.
Watson had obviously created the massive shield in front of her. It contained the fluctuations of the starlight tier. Even though she was at the Dragon God tier, it would not be easy for her to break it, let alone the weaker elves.
She was helping the elves because the elves could not even break the first protective shield.
“Forest Dragon King, you came at the right time. Help me break the barrier.”
“Sure, but I’m not helping you for free. I want you to give me a bottle of water from the Spring of Life.”
“Forest Dragon King, what do you mean? We signed a contract.”
“We did sign a contract, but the contract states that the dragons will help you when you attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom. I don’t know what that huge light barrier is, but it’s still some distance away from the fortress city on the edge of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Maybe it has nothing to do with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Is it wrong for me to ask you for a reward for breaking it?”
“You—”
Knowing that the Forest Dragon King was twisting his words, the Elven King had no choice but to endure it. He knew that if he and the Elders did not use supernatural evolution, Rita would be the one most likely to break that barrier.
The Elven King nodded as he transformed back into his original form. “Alright, I promise you. As long as you help me break through the barrier, I will give you a bottle of water from the Spring of Life. I don’t have it with me right now. I will help you get it when we return to the Elven Kingdom.”
“Deal!”
As Rita spoke, her emerald-green hair fluttered in the wind. Stars appeared in the sky, outlining the body of an enormous natural dragon. The shadow of the dragon even blocked out the sun.
“Nature’s divine power, the World Tree’s Sword!”
The majestic power gathered in her hand turned into an illusory World Tree. The huge trunk stretched for at least a thousand meters. Unlike ordinary World Trees, that one was like a sharp sword polished by a god. She used her completely disproportionate palm to throw it onto the starlight barrier the moment it appeared.
The thousand-meter-long giant sword cut a wide crack in the starlight barrier. The sky and the earth trembled as well.
