Chapter 9 You can't die because I won't allow you to die
In the center of the Whispering Forest, the towering ancient war tree has begun to wither.
The huge crown of the tree has turned yellow, and countless green leaves have lost their vitality and moisture and are slowly withering. There are yellow leaves falling for miles around, and the huge branches have begun to wither. The ancient war tree is like a dying giant.
, is dying slowly and magnificently in a manner commensurate with his size.
Under the ancient trees, the originally sparkling sunwell has dried up, which is why even the Whispering Forest has begun to mutate.
Even though the ancient trees of war had drained all the water, the well water that would slowly and slowly recover was gone. Even the surrounding bluestones that were originally covered with moss had become as dry and weird as cinders. The sky was still filled with darkness.
There are clouds, but the sunlight shining down is not bright for some reason. Even the light shining down has a cold gloominess.
What the Ancient War Tree relies on for survival is not ordinary water and nutrients, but the energy in the earth's veins and the light of the sun. Although the Dark Star has not yet fully opened, the breath of death has begun to spread along the earth's veins. It's not just war.
The ancient trees, and even the entire Whispering Forest, have begun to show signs of withering and dying. All the ancient trees have begun to wither, and the unicorns and Pegasus are all restless.
If the leaves of the World Tree are still there, even if there is still the last one, then the boundless vitality can complement the sun well to resist the erosion of this breath. As long as the three leaves of the World Tree can be intact, they will be able to survive tens of thousands of years ago.
The Doomsday Judgment failed to level this place. But now everything is gone. The elves will also face this catastrophe together with other races.
On the top of the tree, standing in the altar where the Leaves of the World Tree were originally placed, was Gru. His skin had now turned lifeless black. He stood there motionless, looking just like a black rock statue.
There is no difference.
Next to him, several elves held up huge leaves, and streams of cool water poured down from the leaves. They poured it slowly and carefully, with serious faces as if it contained not water but their lives.
.Every drop of water is under their control.
Next to the altar was Luya, who was sitting upright with her eyes closed, slowly reciting a spell. Green magic waves were swirling around the water like a vague mist.
"This is the last well water from the Sunwell, and you are actually using it like this... on a humble half-elf..." Kailin's eyes were dull, looking at the leaves held high by the elves in the center of the altar. "If it hadn't been for Lloyd.
The elder told us to help you, and for some reason Elder Luya also listened to your words. I will definitely summon all the elves to stop you."
"Humble half-elf... Is this how you describe this ally who once saved your elves?" Asa sneered.
"I admit that General Gru has helped us. But he is a half-elf after all, and his unique aura and appearance cannot be concealed. Even if we agree with his status, we will never do it under the current situation.
Identify his bloodline. Since ancient times, the children of noble elves and lowly humans are the most humble, and only elves with noble bloodline of the royal family are qualified to touch the leaves of the Sunwell and the World Tree, and they can transcend
To be accepted by this power of life and light..."
"Shut up, I'm not in the mood to learn about your stinky cultural traditions right now." Asa waved his hand and interrupted the elf patrol with a dark face. He was in a bad mood now. He originally hoped to be able to whisper
I tried to find a way to deal with the current situation in the forest, but found nothing.
When he brought Gru here, the elves had already known the appearance of the Black Star from the changes in the Sunwell and the leaves of the World Tree. What was surprising was that Elder Lloyd did not seem to show much shock or panic.
, but he was a little surprised that Asa appeared here directly. After he turned around to clean up, he said that he had something important to do and needed to leave. In response to Asa's request, he left a generous sentence: "Mr. Asa, please help."
We, the elves, are very busy, and we will help him wherever he needs help."
This sentence is indeed extremely great. But Asa was stunned and could not find any useful help. In the elves' classics, all the records about the dark star suddenly disappeared. Anyone who asked about how to deal with the dark star suddenly disappeared.
The other elves, including Luya, were all hesitant about the topic of stars. The elves were not good at pretending, and Asa could tell that the generous elf elder must have said those generous words in private again after he said them in public.
What, with the stubborn minds of the elves, since it is something they have decided they cannot say, then they won’t say anything.
Asa sighed secretly. After thinking about it, he could vaguely guess why. As early as when he was imprisoned in the Glory Castle, he vaguely knew something from Lancelot. And he had been vaguely interested in it.
Several people behind him had already explained the problem. However, he did not explain it, because even if he did, it would have no effect.
In addition, Asa's other requests did get help from the elves. All the elven elders who can use natural magic have used natural recovery magic on Gru, but the black aura remains in him.
The marks on the body have not diminished at all.
Even though it is not a complete body, the King of the Dead has become one with the Black Star. Gru's punch is no different from hitting the Black Star, and even the bodies of the ancient dragons and Titans cannot bear it.
The erosion of the boundless dark aura. What was originally just black on his fists has completely spread to Gru's whole body. Asa can feel that only the deepest part of his body still has a green and white aura that intersects. That is the world
Apart from the power of the tree leaves, the body that was once filled with incomparable power was like a ball of dead ashes.
The natural magic of the elves is actually not completely useless. Asa can feel that as long as the elves use magic, the power of the leaves of the World Tree in Gru's body is slowly stirring. It's just that the power of the Dark Star is too strong, too
Black, there is absolutely no way to break out.
"Try it with water from the Sunwell." Asa thought for a while and finally said.
In normal times, this requirement would naturally be no problem. But now the source of the Sunwell is drying up. If the remaining well water in the well is used up, the entire barrier of the Whispering Forest, the ancient war trees and the dead wood guards will
All sources of power will disappear immediately..
"Didn't Elder Lloyd say that you will help me if I need help? The source of the power of the Sunwell has been lost. This water can only temporarily maintain the barrier of the Whispering Forest. This barrier is now
It is impossible to withstand the Doomsday Judgment, and the water can no longer drain away from the well for a long time. In this case, it is better to let me use it now. At least as far as I know, General Gru is the only person who can threaten that monster."
"Okay." After thinking about it for a long time, Luya nodded in agreement. This elf girl's face was always covered by a heavy haze. Unlike before, she did not take the initiative to talk to Asa, but sometimes stared at her with strange eyes.
Asa.
"Elder Luya. If we do this in the Whispering Forest, we will..." All the other elders objected.
"You don't need to say anything, Elder Lloyd has already said that he wants us to try our best to help him. And what he said makes sense.
Apart from Lloyd, she is already the most decisive person in the Whispering Forest. As long as she agrees, the other elves will have no choice but to comply.
Following Luya's spell, fine water droplets dripped on Gru's body. The water did not slide down his body, nor did it splash around. Instead, it was completely integrated into his body together with the green magic waves around the water.
, and then the black color that seemed to solidify into the true color of his body finally began to change.
Although it is very slow, the black color at the water drop is indeed dissipating. The key is that Asa can feel that the vitality in Gru's body that is intertwined with the power of the leaves of the World Tree has begun to grow slowly and is slowly developing outwards.
.
"Fortunately, it seems to be really effective." Asa finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the only good news he has received these days, and it is also the best good news he can get at the moment.
His eyes were watching the blackness on Gru's body slowly dissipate, but Asa's mind had already fallen elsewhere. He was deep in thought. Under the current situation, he seemed to be facing an unsolvable situation.
Suddenly, the elves began to make a noise, and Asa was slightly startled, looking up at the sky. A huge shadow had already flown over the ancient war tree, and was now circling towards the top of the ancient war tree.
The surrounding elves all took out their bows and arrows, and some began to chant spells. It was not that they were allergic to any uninvited guests, but that along with this huge figure came a wave of magic that hit their faces. This wave
The fluctuations made the elves instinctively feel terror and hostility. Even Luya and the elves who were casting spells stood up in panic.
"Don't panic, everyone, this is not an enemy and will not threaten everyone." Asa shouted loudly and made a reassuring gesture to Luya.
This breath was very familiar to him, and appearing here at this time made him feel friendly.
The huge flying shadow had reached the top of everyone's heads in an instant. It was a monster that was as huge as a giant dragon. It had a strange shape, and its entire body was actually made of corpses. This was what made the elves panic.
The smell of corpses and the stronger smell of necromantic magic emitted.
Sandro jumped off the huge corpse, looked around, and let out a sigh of relief. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to come to this place in this life."
