"Dimensional Lock" and similar Teleportation restriction methods only prevent the opponent from leaving the locked-down area; in reality, Teleportation magic can still be used.

During the battle between Bone Lord and Shalltear.

Shalltear then used "Greater Teleportation" to close the distance between herself and Bone Lord.

certainly.

A normal "Teleportation" will inevitably fail.

Only at the "upload Teleportation" level can the chance of transfer failure be reduced to some extent under the influence of "blocking" type magic.

This situation also allows for some intelligence speculation.

The fact that the Elf King Teleportation directly to the Root Earth Elemental's side is clearly a high-priority teleportation method.

but.

Tang Zheng had a better way of judging. He glanced at the Attribute Panel out of the corner of his eye. "Elemental Transfer? It really is a class skill."

Bang!

The ground was cleaved deep by the Cross-Spear War Scythe, sending dirt and gravel flying in all directions.

"You dodged it?"

Zesshi Zetsumei glanced at the nimble Elf King, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The information that can be confirmed so far is that the large Earth Elemental was summoned by the opponent, which means that the opponent is a Magic Caster.

Eliminating the summoner first is the optimal approach!

This judgment was correct; in fact, she had fought Magic Caster of this type a few months ago.

The result was a crushing defeat—that's right, it was Tang Zheng!

She prioritizes summoning monsters to delay and absorb damage, then uses ranged magic to attack; she has personally experienced the horror of this tactic.

This is also Zesshi Zetsumei didn't waste any words and went straight into close combat; it can be considered "learning from one's mistakes"!

The Earth Elemental Behemot turned its massive body around, its black shadow enveloping Zesshi Zetsumei, and its thick, brownish-yellow fist slammed down once more.

A deafening roar!

A blast of air rolled in.

"The Invulnerable Fortress!"

At this moment, it was too late for Zesshi Zetsumei to pursue the Elf King again. He could only swing his Cross-Spear War Scythe, raise it upwards, and unleash his Martial Arts.

A flash of blue light.

The massive, earth-brown fist clashed once more with the Cross-Spear War Scythe, which looked like a toothpick in comparison!

Silently, the Martial Arts neutralized this terrifying force, while an invisible pressure spread out from the two of them.

It bent the weeds and shrubs on the surrounding jungle floor!

With a whoosh, Behemot, the Earth Elemental, unleashed another massive fist, its edges and ridges gleaming with sharpness, along with the others.

Zesshi Zetsumei's gaze sharpened. He abandoned any attempt to confront her head-on, sheathed his weapon, and leaped backward to evade the attack's range.

A loud bang.

The earth trembled, and a huge crater appeared once again beneath the brown fist.

"Getting punched like that would definitely hurt!"

Zesshi Zetsumei saw the deep pit, her eye twitched; she had indeed taken a direct hit earlier.

"You've definitely improved."

Tang Zheng nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "If I hadn't taught him a lesson earlier, his previous Zesshi Zetsumei nature would probably have made him as arrogant and conceited as the Elf King."

Regarding the question of who won and who lost this battle?

Tang Zheng was also unable to determine the situation immediately.

Whoosh!

Zesshi Zetsumei and the Elf King have once again distanced themselves.

but.

"Facing a guy like you—"

Zesshi Zetsumei took a brief breath, a sinister smile spreading across his face. He pushed off the ground with his right leg, his body transforming into a blur and vanishing from the spot.

"Haha~, at least it won't be boring anymore!"

"Strengthen Magic Resistance! Enhanced Magic Resistance!"

Centered Root Earth Elemental and the Elf King, they ran and moved in a circle, surrounded by Zesshi Zetsumei!

With the enhancement of Martial Arts.

Even though he was wearing heavy Paladin Armor, Zesshi Zetsumei was still able to move nimbly and quickly through the jungle.

This method!

It consumes a lot of physical strength, but it also has some advantages, namely that when facing opponents like Magic Caster, the magic attacks released cannot easily lock onto them.

The Elf King's heterochromatic eyes widened slightly, barely managing to catch a glimpse of the figure moving rapidly through the jungle, a mix of surprise welling up inside him.

What is the strength of this woman in front of me?

This was absolutely the strongest guy he had ever known, someone who was on the same level as him!

No!

This is not the most important thing.

"That's so funny."

"This strange aura... you have Elf blood, don't you!"

The Elf King's expression was filled with excitement, his head constantly turning to follow the direction of Zesshi Zetsumei's movements, his tone excited:

"Strange! It's clearly not a pure Forest Elf!"

"Yet you possess this level of skill. You just acted as if you knew me, right? The only thing I'm certain of is that I've never seen you before."

"So, you learned about me from your mother? That's wonderful!!"

At this moment, the Elf King showed none of the vigilance and caution he had shown when facing his opponent; instead, he displayed an uncontrollable arrogance.

"-Haha, hahaha!"

The Elf King let out a hearty laugh, as if some of the doubts that had been weighing on his mind for so long had finally been resolved. "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

"I don't remember having any blood with women of other races, I've probably forgotten—this is truly enlightening!"

"While Forest Elf are the most superior race, it doesn't mean that only pure-blooded Forest Elf can awaken powerful abilities."

"I almost forgot, your Theocracy also possesses the bloodline of the Six Great Gods."

"That's right! That's right!"

"The bloodline of the Forest Elf, combined with that of the Six Great Gods, does indeed have the potential to unleash even greater power and awaken a new power! I was so foolish, how could I not have thought of that?"

By the end, the Elf King seemed to have some regrets.

He wasted so much time.

The war between the Elf Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy had lasted for nearly 200 years, something he had previously paid no attention to.

At most, he was just using the Theocracy's troops to train his offspring. The Elf King always believed that the fastest way to become stronger was to fight against a powerful opponent when his life was hanging by a thread.

Although the number of powerful individuals who emerged during this process was still extremely low, the Elf King never believed that his ideas were wrong.

It's all the fault of those incompetent people!

Despite possessing the noble blood of Forest Elf, she inherited none of its talents.

"Hmm... I feel like I've forgotten something."

The Elf King suddenly fell into deep thought, feeling that he had considered this possibility before, but couldn't recall exactly what it was. "Never mind, it was an unexpected surprise!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

The Elf King looked again at the rapidly moving afterimage. "This pointless battle ends here!"

"I am your father! Well, there might be a possibility of grandchildren, but the chances are extremely slim. Forest Elf have an exceptionally long lifespan."

"Even a mongrel Half-Elf can inherit this talent. Considering your awakening, I can forgive your filthy mongrel identity!"

That brings us to this.

The Elf King briefly recalled that the purple-haired mongrel Half-Elf, also a mongrel, seemed to also be unable to awaken his powers.

An arrogant voice echoed through the forest.

If a Zesshi Zetsumei person were to hear these words, they would have been completely enraged.

Obviously!

The Elf King had absolutely no memory of her mother, which led to a rift between the Slane Theocracy and the Elf Kingdom.

The root cause of the deaths of countless humans and Elf over the past 200 years seems to have been completely ignored!

But Zesshi Zetsumei showed no signs of life whatsoever.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zesshi Zetsumei moved rapidly, a laugh emanated from his face beneath his helmet.

"Oh dear, Dad, you've been recognized."

"That's how it should be—the strong can do whatever they want to the weak!"

Does the strong do whatever they want to the weak?

That's right!

The Elf King raised his head, and Behemot, the Earth Elemental he secretly controlled, moved closer to him. He, too, had always lived by this principle.

Therefore, one could hear the undisguised hostility that Zesshi Zetsumei towards him!

On a tree branch in the distance.

Tang Zheng leaned against the thick tree trunk and listened to the conversation between the father and daughter below. His eyes became more profound, and he had a sense of using evil to fight evil.

He called his daughter a bastard!

One of them desperately wants to kill the other!

"A loving father and a filial daughter," Tang Zheng sighed, feeling an urge to take care of the two people below him as well.

The Elf King's pointed ears twitched, and he gently turned to the side, leaning against the Earth Elemental Behemot, his eyes glancing out of the corner of his eye towards a certain direction in the forest:

"Did you summon that Cerberus monster?"

"He clearly looks like a pure Warrior."

Kou Chuan!

The lush foliage made a rustling sound as if it were being rubbed by something moving very fast.

The figure of Cerberus suddenly emerged from the jungle in the northeast, dragging Imina and the Elf girl on its back, appearing on the outskirts of the battlefield.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The Cerberus, drooling and baring their teeth, stared at the Elf King.

"Hey, hey, this guy's mine."

The figure moving with Zesshi Zetsumei speed paused briefly, his tone light, but deep inside, it seemed as if a surge of intense emotion was about to erupt:

"Don't interfere!"

"Hah!" The central Cerberus growled, and all four limbs retreated simultaneously, completely relinquishing the battlefield.

Seeing this scene...

Zesshi Zetsumei grinned and muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "Ah~ now that my identity is known, I wonder what they'll think?"

"That's true, the leader probably wouldn't care about something like that."

Compared to his lighthearted, Zesshi Zetsumei mood Elf King's heart sank.

Besides his own bastard daughter, there are other enemies!

Are they also from the Theocracy?

Are they also his offspring? Where are they hidden?

The Elf King's gaze sharpened, a hint of unease creeping into his eyes. He quickly scanned the surrounding jungle, but found nothing.

"That three-headed monster has a strong aura, though it's not as powerful as Behemot."

"The one who summons it is probably not someone to be underestimated."

The Elf King, feeling a bit nervous, suddenly thought of another possibility:

"Wrong!"

"My bastard daughter was able to withstand Behemot's attacks; she's no pushover. If the hidden guy possesses similar strength, even if he's a bit weaker..."

"With the two of them working together, the chances of winning will definitely increase significantly."

"There's only one possibility for why they didn't do that—the hidden enemy is even weaker!"

Thinking about this...

The Elf King's worries vanished instantly, replaced by an arrogant and confident expression.

"I'll let you off this time, because you're my daughter."

"However, I really disliked your tone earlier. That disrespect and ignorance needs to be addressed properly!"

The Elf King raised his chin. "I don't know how your mother raised you, but I can give you one last chance."

"Complete your surrender and come back with me."

"Then join me in launching a war against the Theocracy, capturing all the women with the Six Great Gods' Bloodline, and sowing our seeds."

"As long as a hybrid like you can be born, I can lead you to conquer the world and make all races submit to the feet of the great Forest Elf!"

As the Elf King finished speaking, he opened his arms, his emotions growing increasingly excited.

Zesshi Zetsumei did not reply, his cold gaze constantly searching for the Elf King's weakness.

Om One - Metaphor One -

The atmosphere on the entire battlefield became solid and terrifying!

Located on the outskirts of the battlefield.

Imina and the awakened Elf girl, clinging to the back of Cerberus, looked in terror toward the center of the battlefield.

In their vision, the air at the center of the battlefield seemed to be affected by some force, becoming distorted and blurred.

Terrible pressure!

The atmosphere was so suffocating that Imina and the Elf girl dared not make a sound.

This was a battle that was absolutely beyond their comprehension!

Because apart from the Elf King standing quietly in place and the conspicuous Root Earth Elemental, they did not find any opponent for the Elf King.

This can only mean one thing!

The opponent was moving at a speed beyond their perception.

The word "monster" Imina's lips were pale; only a limited vocabulary could describe her.

And what's with this three-headed monster?

Why save them?

Too many incomprehensible and comprehensible situations left Imina's mind blank.

Whoosh!

Zesshi Zetsumei flew swiftly through the bushes, kicking up dust and decaying leaves. "Trouble!"

Earth Elemental provides significant resistance to Warrior.

The even stronger Earth Elemental before us has further proven this point in the previous battle—it is Warrior's nemesis!

Perhaps using an assassin's words would lead to victory!

However, it is currently uncertain whether the Elf King also has assassins.

She was determined to give this guy a good beating and kill him while he begged for mercy, otherwise there would be no point in winning!

If there's no opportunity, then we'll create one.

Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes turned cold. He gripped the Cross-Spear War Scythe tightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a dark energy surged from the weapon.

"Third-Tier Magic: Create Undead!"

"-A Elder Lich!"

This is one of the spells carried by the Cross-Spear War Scythe, and it can be activated 5 times every 4 hours.

!

A faint blue magic circle appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a gaunt, Elder Lich draped in tattered magic robes appeared in the jungle.

As he activated his skill, Zesshi Zetsumei moved at full speed from his original spot, appearing dozens of meters away.

Moment!

Three more blue magic circles appeared.

At the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, and north—where the Elf King was located, a Elder Lich was summoned.

"Fireball"

"Fireball"

"Fireball"

Fireball

Four Fireball, burning fiercely, shot towards the Elf King simultaneously from four directions.

Although "Fireball" is a Third-Tier spell, it deals area-of-effect damage and also has a follow-up effect.

When faced with such a magical attack, defense is the best course of action!
