Chapter 776: Chapter 486: Now, You are the Prey!_2

By this time, Salem had stopped making excuses; they were completely pointless now.

He had managed to deceive everyone else in Andor City previously because of the special powers bestowed upon him by the God of Hunting.

Even so, there was no way he could have fooled the inspection of the Elf Holy Hall.

His arguing was an attempt to seek an opportunity to escape here during the transition from the Royal Palace to the Elf Holy Hall.

In the Royal Palace, with His Majesty the King of Legendary strength watching, Salem had no chance of escape even with his trump card.

Even after leaving the Royal Palace, the likelihood of successful escape was extremely low, but it was still a chance.

Now all hope of redemption was lost. Although Salem didn’t know what Lis had done, the fact that he was an Evil God believer was irrevocably confirmed.

“Now, you are the prey!”

Lis looked at Salem, whose expression was somewhat crazed, and spoke gently.

Yet to Salem, that expression seemed so detestable, as if taunting his overestimation of himself.

It was precisely because of Lis’s words that the last thread of sanity in Salem’s mind snapped instantly.

No longer able to suppress the madness and chaos brought about by the Evil God Power, Salem’s expression twisted as he roared at Lis:

“Arrrrrrrghhhhhhh!”

“You deserve to die!”

“Why don’t you just let me kill you!”

“So what if you’re an Elf Sage, I will tear apart that ugly face of yours!”

Before he even finished speaking, an even stronger Evil God Power burst forth from his body, and Salem charged towards Lis.

Now, Salem had unleashed all his strength, and in Lis’s perception, apart from those Golden Strong Men who had mastered the Extraordinary Domain, Salem was now among the very strongest.

But…

That’s all there is to it!

Having grown in strength to this point, even among the strong ones who had mastered the Extraordinary Domain, Lis was among the very top!

Salem’s eyes flickered with a strange light, no longer possessing the Elf clarity and liveliness, but instead filled with mad killing intent and endless darkness.

Underneath his clothes, his muscular body tensed up with the inflating aura of evil, as if containing infinite strength,

he charged at Lis unstoppably, his speed so astounding it resembled a black bolt of lightning, even the Elf Guards nearby couldn’t react in time.

The air around was twisted by the malicious aura emanating from Salem, forming black whirlwinds that kicked up fierce winds, making Salem’s presence seem unstoppable.

Boom!

A green magical barrier suddenly appeared in front of Lis, deceptively fragile yet unshaken by Salem’s attack, firmly blocking Salem out.

“What?”

Salem couldn’t hide the astonishment on his face; he hadn’t expected Lis to so easily fend off his attack.

He didn’t seem so formidable when probing Lis before, did he?

But what he forgot was that, during his earlier encounter while controlling the Day Elf, Lis had shown more assassin-related abilities, and Lis’s control of magic was far beyond his imagination.

Lis channeled Magic Power and lightly stamped on the ground.

Several thick vines burst forth like a surging green wave from beneath the ground, breaking through the soil unexpectedly.

The vines were huge and sturdy, their dark green surface glistening faintly, covered with sharp thorns.

They twisted flexibly in the air as if endowed with life, swiftly and accurately locking onto Salem’s figure.

Certainly taken by surprise by this abrupt assault, Salem was caught off guard.

He activated his strength and struggled frenziedly, but the vines, as if sentient, wrapped tighter and tighter, binding him firmly in place.

The sharp thorns on the vines sank deep into Salem’s flesh, continuously draining the blood and Magic Power from his body. The Evil God Power that erupted from Salem was unable to shake the vines coiling around him. If anything, it only caused them to twist and constrict more, pressing oppressively against Salem’s body.

A look of horror and despair finally appeared on Salem’s furious face, as if he had foreseen the grim fate that was about to befall him.

After a moment, Salem’s struggles grew weaker and eventually stopped altogether, his complexion so pale it seemed as though he might faint at any second.

Is this the end?

The surrounding Elf Guards watched, dumbstruck, at the battle that had transpired in the blink of an eye, finding it hard to believe.

Not to mention that Salem was said to have poor Talent, he was a genuine Golden Rank strongman nevertheless, let alone the unmasked Evil God Power hidden within him. The terrifying aura he released just now even caused many to feel palpitations.

Who would have thought that under the casual handling of Sage Lis, Salem would be taken down with no room to resist, like a mere child.

Is this the Sage Lis who encountered the Demon Prince and emerged unscathed?

The impression of Lis elevated instantly in the hearts of the many elves present.

Linde was also somewhat surprised; he, too, was a transcendent who mastered the Extraordinary Domain, otherwise, His Majesty the King would not have entrusted him with such an important task.

Even he wasn’t confident that he could take down Salem as effortlessly as this.

Looking at Salem, who had clearly lost the ability to resist, Linde couldn’t help but say to Lis with emotion:

“Lord Lis, today has truly been an eye-opener for me.”

“To think that you took down Salem so effortlessly. Perhaps it won’t be long before the Elf Kingdom hails the birth of a new Legendary Crown.”

Lis shook his head and smiled:

“Not yet, I still have a distance to go before reaching that limit; I need to continue accumulating experience.”

Lis wasn’t being overly modest; his strength could completely crush Salem, but not to the extent of defeating a fully powered Salem in just two moves.

More importantly, during the battle with Salem, Lis triggered a special Specialty.

———-

Special Skills [Gaia Guardian]: You are the guardian of the Gaia World, granted the ability by the Gaia World to resist the invasion of evil! When battling enemies of evil factions not belonging to the Gaia World within the Gaia World and areas influenced by Gaia World Power, gain an additional 50% bonus to damage (bonus increased to 100% when fighting against Endless Abyss factions); gain protection from Gaia World Power, all resistances +50%; receive the blessing of Gaia World Power, strengthening Extraordinary Domain, Legendary Domain, Divine Domain by +30%

———-

Because Salem was a follower of the God of Hunting, Marla, although Marla was not an Abyss Demon but a deity who ascended to the Divine Throne in the Gaia World. Lis knew that this ambitious Evil God had secretly occupied a layer of the Abyss Plane in the Endless Abyss, gaining the endorsement of Abyss Power.

In a sense, Lis’s battle with Salem was akin to facing an Abyss Demon.

The 100% damage bonus made the already substantial gap in strength between Lis and Salem even more pronounced. Salem, caught off guard by the vast gulf between them, was promptly subdued by Lis’s vines, with no chance to retaliate.

At that moment, a light breeze whistled into the room, and a young handsome golden-haired Elf appeared, smiling at Lis and Linde.

“Legendary Crown Rupert!”

Upon seeing this person, Linde was startled, instantly bowing in salute, as did the surrounding Elf Guards.

Unquestionably, this was an Elf Legend that had arrived!

“It is an honor to meet you, ‘Wind Whistler’ Crown!”

Lis also bowed slightly, aware of this Legendary Strongman of Andor City.

Unlike Philip, the Legendary Alchemist of the Jade City, this Legend had always been active in the Abyss Blood Battle.

Rupert gazed at Lis with a friendly look and said with a smile:

“I’m delighted to meet you, Sage Lis!”

“His Majesty the King has sent his greetings, thanking you for your assistance.”

“This Salem, I’ll take care of him.”
