Chapter 792: Saving the elven planet IV
Nine glanced at Elli and formed a golden barrier around her to neutralize the effects of Yue's natural law.
His eyes also glowed with a white hue as he harnessed the natural law of space to manipulate the surroundings and eliminate the enemies who were already trapped under Yue's
gravitational pressure.
Regius smirked and followed suit, causing the land to stir under his control. The entire planet quivered and began to swallow the demons who cried out in fear.
The elven Queen, Wesley, and the old supreme rank elves drew in deep breaths. Their shocked eyes took in the one-sided battle raging in the sky, where Bia and Nox were mercilessly slaughtering the enemies around them with relentless ferocity. They shifted their gaze to the two men before them, who were eliminating the demons with equal, if not greater, ferocity. No one among them could fathom the sudden shift in the atmosphere, followed by the utter devastation wrought by just three individuals wielding the power of nature.
The questions in their eyes were evident. When did natural law become so powerful? And when did people begin to master these laws to such an extraordinary extent?
Ariana couldn't help but mutter.
"These youngsters have become so powerful in such a short time..."
Wesley and the old supreme rank elves nodded, and they weren't the only ones. In the sky, far away from Yue's location, one of the seven elders, Kurt, who had come to assist the elves at James's command, also noticed the sudden shift in the atmosphere. After all, he was affected as well.
He had sensed the familiar presence of Nine, Yue, and the others with them when they arrived and began fighting. Kurt kicked the supreme rank demon before him, which refused to die no matter how hard he tried, like a stubborn ant, and finally glanced around in search of the youngsters.
Amidst the chaos of the battle raging all around, the first person Kurt spotted was Yue's floating figure, followed by Bia and Nox in their human forms.
As his gaze continued to scan, he also spotted Nine, Regius, and Elli. The elder hadn't seen these youngsters since the destruction of the Forsaken Land. Now, seeing them again, more powerful than before, filled him with astonishment.
"The three of them have reached the supreme rank... I sensed that, but they have even mastered natural laws to this extent? Incredible... just what the hell did they do after leaving us that day?"
He sighed. After the initial shock, he felt a sense of relief that they were alright.
Ever since Jian and Lara left with Nine in anger after he, James, and the other elders had stopped them from breaking the shield surrounding the mass of energy, he had felt a strong urge to reach out to them and have a heartfelt conversation with them. But he was unable to because not many of them answered their communication crystals.
The fact that he, James, and the other elders weren't able to save Kyle weighed heavily on his conscience, filling him with guilt. He knew they had messed up, but he still wanted to personally apologize.
Kurt had held Kyle in high regard; after all, he was always with Alec and the other kids when they battled against him to train and practice. If it had been up to him, he would have done everything possible to save that kid's soul. But fate had other plans.
"I should tell James the kids are fine..."
He couldn't finish his words because the supreme rank demon he had kicked away earlier had crawled out of the crater.
Cursing loudly under his breath, Kurt immediately engaged the angry demon once more, along with the many other demons that had surrounded him. He defeated the supreme rank demon. In that moment, Bia, Nox, and Yue arrived to assist him in eliminating the enemies.
While the fighting elves finally saw a glimmer of hope for revenge and a chance to save their planet with so many powerful enemies falling, at a distance, Samara, the Demon Queen, shattered the glass of wine in her hands in a fit of rage upon witnessing how the tide was shifting with the arrival of just a few newcomers. She kicked away her throne. She couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Her fury was palpable, and her eyes blazed with an intensity that could ignite the very air around her.
"What the hell??? You fools! Kill them!"
She shrieked loudly, her voice piercing through the chaos of the battlefield toward the foolish demons who were falling like headless chickens. How could the slaves she had acquired succumb so easily?
"Damn it! There are just freaking two damn beasts, a human, and three elves! How the hell can't you all even subdue them??"
"Surround them!"
She summoned her remaining dark forces and alive slaves, her commands sharp and authoritative, driven by a desperate need to regain control of the situation. With a flick of her wrist, a long, dark whip materialized in her grip, crackling with energy as she prepared to plunge into battle herself.
There was no way she could allow these pathetic insects to derail her meticulously crafted plans to conquer the elven planet and get her hands on what remains of the Tree of Fate's core!
Victory was close, just within her grasp; how could she possibly accept defeat?
Ronan, who had been kneeling before her all this time, also noticed the change. He sensed many powerful demons falling and snickered to catch Samara's attention. But inwardly, he aimed to stall for time so his people could eliminate more enemies.
"What? I thought you were just going to watch? What now? Did the mighty queen finally decide to step into the battle, huh?"
His words were laced with sarcasm, successfully capturing Samara's attention as she turned and lashed her whip at him. Ronan closed his eyes, bracing for impact, but the anticipated pain never came.
He blinked open his eyes, and was astonished to see Samara's eyes seething with rage, dark veins crawling across her neck. Just as the whip was about to strike him, a hand had grasped it
firmly.
Regius hissed as the dark energy from the whip tore at his skin, and he flung it away.
"Ugh... I shouldn't have grabbed it!"
Nine, who had arrived directly behind him, swiftly grabbed his collar and immediately dragged him back just as Samara reached out with her claw, aimed at his heart.
Regius shivered, narrowly avoiding those sharp, long, terrifying nails, but he was left speechless when he heard Nine's voice.
"Who asked you to grab her whip so boldly just to act cool-"
Regius shoved him away, truly unsure whether to laugh or cry when he realized his own words
were being thrown back at him and finished his sentence.
"Yeah, yeah! I know it only fits Kyle."
"No need to repeat!"
