Chapter 1220: Dark Region (4)

The moment the dark elves jumped out of the shadows, they released the arrows, specially-modified and smeared with lethal poison, on their bows. They glided toward the group swiftly and silently. The arrows were as slim as needles. Without taking a closer look, one wouldn’t be able to spot them. If Rhode’s party were a group of ordinary people, perhaps they would have crumbled entirely in this wave of attacks. Even if they survived, they could never resist the next, wild ambush.

But it was a pity that the dark elves weren’t taking on a bunch of naive adventurers or dazed, ignorant idiots who were caught in their trap. Since Rhode’s group was here to stir trouble, it went without saying that they were powerful enough for that. Moreover, in the game, they had dealt with dark elves in the underground more than once. They experienced the cunningness of dark elves, so naturally, they wouldn’t fall into their trap. Before the poisonous arrows unveiled their effects, they were deflected by an invisible barrier, before getting burnt into a crisp by holy flames, erupting in sparks, and vanishing into dust. At the same time, Mini Bubble Gum raised her middle finger and shortly after, a glaring, sacred brilliance exploded and proliferated with her in the middle, dispersing the black mist released by the dark elves and blinding their eyes. The dazzling radiance enfolded the dark elves’ sight instantly, robbing them of their vision.

In an instant, the situation turned around. Before the dark elves leapt out of the darkness and struck their prey, they were hit by glaring, holy rays and had no choice but to close their eyes and retreat in panic. Strong rays of light were the fatal weakness of underground creatures. Moreover, the rays of light were holy brilliances from Mini Bubble Gum that would cause additional harm to evil creatures. The dark elves were caught off guard. Their eyes hurt as though they were splashed with sulphuric acid. Even though they had been through strict training, they couldn’t tolerate the agony. They let out horrific screams and hid into the darkness one by one. The dazzling arrows of light that were almost indiscernible to the naked eye punctured their skulls, ending their pain instantly.

“Stop making that hand gesture, Bubble. It’s bad! My mom said it isn’t nice to insult others.”

Icy Snow pulled back the bowstring, while staring in displeasure at Mini Bubble Gum, who lifted her middle finger. Upon hearing Icy Snow’s lecture, Mini Bubble Gum let out a snort of disdain.

“I do what I want. Who are you to stop me?”

“I’m just like you, graduated from primary school! I’m in junior high now! And a member of the Communist Youth League!”

“So what if you’re a member? I don’t give a damn! I will do whatever I want! Complain to the teacher if you’ve got the guts! Not only do I like doing that, but I also like doing this!”

Mini Bubble Gum said and gave a taunting thumbs-down to Icy Snow. Then, she sandwiched her thumb between the index and middle fingers, swaying it before Icy Snow. Looking at this hand gesture, Icy Snow was taken aback. She revealed a dubious expression.

“What does that mean?”

“Hahaha, you don’t know, right? A brat will always remain a brat. That is…”

“Alright, both of you shut up. Now isn’t the time for a quarrel. Little Icy, come here.”

“Okay, Big Brother.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s words, Icy Snow nodded obediently and glared fiercely at Bubble. Even though she didn’t know what that hand gesture meant, based on Bubble’s behavior, she knew it definitely wasn’t anything kind. But Icy Snow turned away from Bubble immediately and went to Rhode’s side to continue attacking the dark elves. Looking at this scene, Rhode let out a deep, inward sigh of relief. Unlike the precocious Bubble, Icy Snow was a late-maturing and innocent young lady. In the game, it was due to this reason that the other members held back a lot in front of Icy Snow.

It was like how an adult stubbed out a cigarette in front of an underage girl. So from a certain angle, this little fellow was really innocent. Compared to Bubble, who immersed herself on the Internet without any parental guidance, Rhode was aware that Icy Snow seldom used the computer except for online games, so she had less contact with inappropriate behaviors. From this point, an innocent girl like her was considered an endangered animal in the Internet society. Due to that reason, Rhode wasn’t willing to let this little fellow be ‘stained’ by Bubble… Icy Snow was better off growing up in this manner…

The interaction between Mini Bubble Gum and Icy Snow lasted for only a few seconds and in the meantime, the battle had ended. Even though the dark elves had a clear division of labor among them, they attacked Rhode’s group simultaneously to ensure that they didn’t need to face the dangers alone. However, that was pointless. The blinded dark elves who encircled Mini Bubble Gum and Icy Snow had their skulls penetrated by the light arrows. Before the dark elves pouncing on Icy Snow managed to land an attack, the blood inside their bodies exploded and caused their death. On the other hand, Cassidy didn’t move an inch. She stood on the spot lazily, staring at the four idiotic dark elves who leaped and flourished their blades at her neck. If nothing stopped them, Cassidy’s head would have fallen at the next moment. But as a matter of fact, the instant the blades were swung, it was the dark elves’ skulls that flew up into the air. The dark elves gave their all to kill the enemy, only to send themselves to death. They used their lives to prove that all foolish actions before the Contrast Deity Warden would call forth the arrival of death.

The battle came to an end abruptly. Standing above the boulder and concealing themselves in the dark mist, before the dark elf mages released a second wave of magical spells, the shield in Anne’s hands whistled toward them, crashing onto them like a fly swatter. In a loud bang, the bloody female mage died, smashing onto the wall and squashing her bones into bits.

Only the dark elves who surrounded Nell and Rhode survived. It wasn’t that Nell and Rhode were incapable of defeating them, but that after Rhode coalesced and unleashed his dragon’s prestige, the dark elves froze to the spot immediately. Even though there were beings in the Dragon Soul Continent who could still resist the dragon’s prestige, it was a pity that inhabitants of the underground world apparently weren’t as formidable. That was why Rhode merely released his dragon’s prestige and it was enough to paralyze the dark elves. The dark elves turned ashen and tossed their weapons aside in a frenzy. Perhaps if Rhode were to go up and torture them to death, they wouldn’t have any response.

“W-Who exactly are y-you people! W-What are you trying t-to do!”

Even though the dark elves lived with the pride of their years-long arrogance, under Rhode’s overwhelming dragon’s prestige, they couldn’t even speak properly now. This was the effect of Rhode subconsciously stifling his dragon’s prestige. As a matter of fact, if a dragon soul heir were to unleash their dragon’s prestige mercilessly, all the high-level beings within the range would instantly die of extreme fear. Judging from this point, the dragon race was indeed known as ‘city destroyers’ and it could be seen that Erin was truly kindhearted. Back then, if she were to release her dragon’s prestige on Earth, perhaps people residing in half the city would suffer from severe cardiac arrest due to extreme fear. This was much faster than actually killing people in a blast.

Due to that reason, Rhode didn’t feel any pressure bringing less than 10 members to storm the dark elves’ city. As long as he revealed his dragon’s prestige, the issue would be whether the dark elves in the city could survive. But since dark elves were basically cancer, if Rhode were able to wipe them all out, perhaps he might gain the achievement of a ‘worship’ reputation in the Elf Forest.

“We’re travelers who are passing by.”

Facing the dark elves’ question, Rhode responded in their language. However, his answer made them reveal strange expressions. Even though Rhode was literally stating the truth, just like how the Earth was circulating around the sun, based on the current situation, why did it feel so weird to them? However, Rhode ignored the suspicious gazes shot at him and continued to speak with a humble and gentle voice.

“We’re heading to Carlesodar. If I’m not mistaken, you guys are the patrolling guards of Carlesodar, right?”

“…”

Facing Rhode’s question, the remaining four dark elves gnashed their teeth, exchanged looks with one another, and nodded grudgingly. These dark elves weren’t fools either. Judging from the exceptional power that Rhode’s group displayed, it was obvious to the dark elves that these adventurers weren’t fools who came to the underground just to commit suicide. Perhaps not even the matriarch of the number one family of Carlesodar City possessed such strength. Facing their silent response, Rhode revealed a gentle smile.

“Alright then, please inform your people that the Void Dragon intends to pass through Carlesodar City. I hope you guys can open up the city gates and allow us through. If not, be prepared to suffer the consequences.”

Gazing at the ashen dark elves, Rhode spoke in a soft tone.
