Chapter 389: Act 113 Final Battle (1) (Updated 3, thank you all for your support)
Qian, Nanis, Hu Que, and Sanfde stood quietly behind him.
Brand held a rough stone tablet in his hand, his gaze cutting through the layers of broken walls and remnants of the elf ruins, looking in the direction of the valley—lizardn sporadically appeared in that direction, their short figures flitting through the gaps between the trees, those partially evolved reptiles appearing and disappearing occasionally. Brand glanced over and roughly estimated that there were at least two large squads on the other side, no fewer than three hundred heads, and possibly more behind. It seed that Yohkel and Conrad had already joined forces, very cautious, the young man confird.
He raised his head; another clear day, the sky tinged with a hint of purple. The afternoon sunlight flowed silently over the forest, making the tree canopies near and far seep with a piercing green.
He squinted his eyes.
The air was filled with a faint sll of blood. Although the battlefield had been cleaned, the traces of the previous slaughter were inevitable. The stone tablet in the young man’s hand was the Sage Stone Tablet, about the size of a fist, with a rune etched on its surface. The rune pronounced ‘Eaam,’ aning earth in the most ancient cuneiform writing—earth which carries life and wisdom.
The stone tablet was in hand, aning at least half of his original goal of coming here was achieved. The rest involved how to obtain disha’s necklace—from that lizardman’s hand.
But just as he thought of this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. Brand turned around and saw the Elf Princess tying up her long silver hair draped over her shoulders, dressed in armor of holy white, leading her unicorn over. The Silver Elf Royal Family’s armor was so luxurious it took one’s breath away, so much so that Brand almost mistook the Princess Knight’s armor for a silver-leafed princess dress. disha glanced at him with her glass-like transparent eyes, smiled slightly, and said in his heart, “Thank you, Lord—”
“This was the agreent.” Brand barely managed to look away from her as he replied.
disha blushed; Brand’s words reminded her of everything that happened that day. She had never been so scared, to the point of crying in front of so many people, completely forgetting the royal etiquette.
She couldn’t help but glance to the other side—seeing a red-haired girl nad Qian standing alone a bit farther away, her eyes in the shadows under the tree canopies glowing like amber in a blaze. She leaned on her long Thunder Gun, looking outside, her entire being sowhat still. Brand had already told her everything that had happened before, about the Divine Blood, the disbandnt of the Gray Wolf rcenary Group, and ever since she had been like this.
Neither sad nor angry.
“What will happen to that sister?” disha turned back and softly asked.
“The Divine Blood is rooted in her body, the pollution cannot be eradicated. It can only be suppressed by willpower, but once out of control, she would eventually beco a Divine Envoy. However, the term Divine Envoy is but a beautiful na, more accurately, they are monsters.” Brand replied, but he had another way. That was, with Qian’s consent, sealing her as a card. Because the link through the rules had already established, what remained was just a contract. But transforming a living, breathing being into a card—this seed overly harsh for a free person, thus, unless as a last resort, Brand resolved not to reveal this thod.
The Silver Elf girl frowned slightly at his words, feeling regretful. Yet, inherent quietness of her race kept her from saying more.
Brand also remained silent, his gaze resting on the rcenaries not far away. These rcenaries were hiding within the ruins built by the Silver Elven Master Builders centuries ago, their crossbows aid at the lizardn ahead, ensuring they wouldn’t imdiately discard their weapons and flee. In fact, Brand had attacked and razed the nest of these lizard bandits a few hours earlier, with the assistance of two Gold Rank powers, Qian and disha, along with the twenty Silver Elf Guards left with mid-tier silver strength. The re two hundred or so lizardn left behind, ultimately beca re experience for Brand.
