Elf Priest

"Kill!"

The city gate had been breached, and the Dark Elves on the walls had been completely cleared out. The ten Dark Elves left behind on the wall excitedly operated the two ballistae, turning their muzzles toward Bierteli.

"Scatter!" Bierteli noticed the abnormality atop the wall immediately and hurriedly shouted.

Unfortunately, it was still too late. Bierteli himself could dodge, but that did not mean the other Dark Elves could react in time.

The rapidly fired ballista bolts skewered more than a dozen Dark Elves like meat on a skewer. Empowered by magic, their tremendous impact would knock down even those lucky enough to evade them with the magical shockwaves.

Naturally, Mi Yue would not let this chance slip by while the Dark Elves were in disarray. Her entire body turned into a skyful of black mist, within which countless bats flew back and forth as it swept toward Bierteli.

"No!"

Bierteli watched the black mist surge toward him in terror and screamed in horror. He was the second most important figure in Oldwood Fortress, a level 49 expert only one step away from reaching level 50 and entering the Hero Realm. How could he die here so easily?!

His face was filled with deep unwillingness. He had still dreamed of returning to the Queen's side after Oldwood Fortress grew stronger, gaining even greater power and status.

But now, with life and death before him, all of it had become empty.

Just then, a green leaf dragon soared forth, majestic and extraordinary. It roared at the sky before suddenly lunging forward!

The black mist collided with the green dragon, and both shattered at once. Mi Yue drifted lightly back to her original position, then immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face turned as pale as paper as she stared in shock toward where the green dragon had come from!

There stood a figure utterly fused with nature. If one had not witnessed it with one's own eyes, it would have been impossible to imagine that a person was standing there, completely one with the natural world.

The grass and trees could all become him; he seemed to be the grass and trees themselves.

He was a middle-aged man in a priest's robe, lightly holding an emerald-green staff. Though his expression was calm, Miuo could clearly sense an arrogance so extreme it had become aloofness emanating from him!

"An Elf Race high priest!"

Miuo was stunned. He recognized at once that this was a priest from the Elf Race temple.

But why would an Elf Race priest appear here? Were they not usually performing rituals and prayers in the temple?

The Elf Race priests, who held positions within the Elf Race's sacred lands, were absolutely among the Elf Race's greatest powers. Even the Elf Queen might not necessarily be able to command them.

Although Elf Race priests kept a low profile and were not as imposing as the Elf Race's Nature Guard Legions, to those born among the forest races, these Elf Race priests were far more terrifyingly intimidating!

"Oldwood Fortress is an important military stronghold of our Dark Elf race. I hope you will withdraw at once."

The elf priest's voice was icy and utterly emotionless.

Miuo froze, then flew into a rage. They had finally been about to take the city, yet with one sentence, this man expected them to give it up.

But when he thought of the words "Elf Race priest," it was as though a divine mountain pressed down upon his chest. His face flushed red, yet he did not dare utter a single word of rebuttal.

To the native races of the Messiah Great Forest, Elf Race priests were towering mountains, impossible to scale!

Within the Messiah Great Forest, many powers dared to offend the Elf Race, but no one dared provoke an elf priest.

Because they represented the gods behind them.

No one knew just how many powerful experts existed among the Elf Race priests!

"You say withdraw, and we withdraw?"

Suddenly, a soft voice as cold as bone-deep ice and filled with soaring murderous intent came from nearby. It was as though an Arctic glacier had descended, freezing one to the marrow.

Mi Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, revealing her alluring charm. At some point, sharp, slender nails had grown from her fingers. Killing intent radiated from her as boundless coldness filled her eyes, which remained fixed on the green-robed Dark Elf priest.

Whoosh!

Without a word, the elf priest turned his blade-sharp gaze toward Mi Yue. Like a god high above, he looked down upon her!

World of Ten Thousand Greens.

Countless green vines burst from the earth and crazily lashed toward Mi Yue. They moved as fast as lightning, arriving before her in an instant. A terrifying green net descended upon her head-on, startling Miuo, who was not far away, so badly that he retreated again and again.

Miuo knew this move all too well. His grandfather, the previous Catfolk chieftain, had been killed by an Elf Race mage using this very move. These green vines were no ordinary vines—they were blood-draining killer vines. Once they ensnared someone, they would not stop until every drop of blood had been sucked dry.

He keenly felt a dense, inescapable aura of death rolling toward him, leaving his entire body cold and stiff!

If he did not retreat, he would die!

Mi Yue sneered and slowly raised her head. Her long black hair danced behind her as coldness erupted in her eyes. At the very instant the net of death fell, her whole body exploded, transforming into a skyful of bats.

"On behalf of my god, I shall punish you. Splendor of Nature."

A skyful of green mist drifted up, carrying intense corrosive power. Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass remained.

The black mist and green mist collided instantly. One was filled with limitless killing intent, cold and evil; the other was clear and pure, yet concealed murderous intent. It was as though two great mountains had crashed together, dyeing the heavens black and green.

The black mist receded, and the green mist dispersed.

Mi Yue took one step back. The nails on her hands trembled slightly, while a flash of excitement vanished from her eyes. The battle intent in her chest surged like an erupting volcano!

"You have some skill. Your blood must taste even more delicious!"

Mi Yue let out a seductive laugh. Her figure flickered strangely, and black mist rose once more!

The elf priest's gaze sharpened. A trace of surprise flashed across his expressionless face as well. He had not expected this seductive Bloodkin woman to possess such strength.

Just then, terrifying fire elements gathered in the sky, forcing the elf priest, who had been prepared to fight to the death, to stop. At the critical moment, he cast a Nature Barrier, and a rain of fire fell from the heavens.

The terrifying fire rain made the barrier's light screen flicker continuously, while the Dark Elves beneath it instinctively swallowed hard one after another.

The Nature Barrier could easily defend against fourth-tier spells, yet this fire rain caused the entire barrier to flicker without end, as though it might collapse at any moment. Its terrifying power was obvious.

The elf priest watched a handsome figure fly over the city wall. Even the Elf Race, renowned for their beauty, could not help but feel jealous upon seeing him.

There was actually a man in this world more handsome than the elves.

Yet this exceptionally handsome man emanated terrifying fire elemental fluctuations.

Another formidable enemy. The elf priest frowned slightly, then could only issue the order to retreat. His assessment had been wrong this time. If he remained here, his life might also be in danger.

It seemed an extraordinary power had emerged within the Messiah Great Forest.

At the same time, the foreign race legion led by Mi Yue began charging into the city.

Seeing Zhou Yu suddenly appear, Mi Yue roared furiously, "Who asked you to meddle in my business?"

Zhou Yu was an exceptionally clever woman. She smiled faintly and said, "I did not want to come. Lord Avilan was worried about you, so he sent me to take a look."

Upon hearing that Avilan had sent her, Mi Yue actually blushed. She asked bashfully, "Lord Avilan really sent you? Was Lord Avilan really worried about me?"

Zhou Yu nodded solemnly, then shifted her gaze toward the elf priest who was arranging the retreat.
