Chapter 320 The Final Despair!
Chapter 320 The Final Despair!
"Thank you, Divine One, for agreeing to such a short notice ceremony." Everyone, including the king himself, kneeled in front of Evelyn. "We cannot express how much of an honor it is for us to be able to serve you like this."
Hearing the words of their King, the rest of the elves nodded in agreement. The woman they were addressing, on the other hand, was busy lost in her own thoughts.
'This was a mistake. Even though I am dying, I want to die in his arms. Not alone where I do not even know where he is.'
She started to regret her choice of sending the mage away from herself.
"Divine One?" As if sensing she was not paying attention to them, the priestess came forward and called out to her. Seeing Evelyn look at her with an indifferent gaze, she became surprised as she always recalled seeing warmth in those eyes. She shook her head to remove the thoughts before continuing. "Can we start the ceremony?"
'Should I stall and wait for him to arrive?' She thought before rejecting the thought, thinking she might arouse suspicion from them. "Start the event!"
With her confirmation, Nhalos smiled widely before coming forward, "Divine One, this year, I got a core of a transcendent level beast from the human king as thanks for helping him in the demon invasion."
Hearing his words, the rest of the elves looked at him in high regard and started praising him. Even Elena, who was standing beside clueless Lucian, was stunned hearing this. She knew how valuable the small fist-sized crystal was.
"There is no need for any of that." Evelyn narrowed her eyes seeing the orb; suddenly, she spoke up, puzzling everyone. "There is no need to offer anything this year. I am happy with the love and devotion you give me. I just want to celebrate this year with you all. Maybe if there is a need, we can use these."
Hearing her words, all the other elves were moved to tears, but Nhalos's eyes flashed with a cold light.
'Is this a random decision or did she notice something? I cannot let anything destroy the plan I formulated for today.' Just as that thought flashed through his mind, the ring on his left hand shone with a red light.
'Even though I was trying to make sure the plan does not go sideways, I have no choice but to act now.'
Evelyn, who was smiling thinking she had delayed the event somehow, suddenly frowned. It was not just her; even the old man standing by the side, invisible to the rest, frowned as well.
Soon their frowns started to change into a pained expression.
*BOOM!*
"What's happening?"
"Why is the nature suddenly changing?"
The atmosphere in the sky started to change, and dark clouds started to gather, scaring everyone. While they were busy looking at the sky, they failed to notice the swaying figure of their goddess.
"What have you done?" She glared at the elf king standing in front of her. Her eyes flashed with blood-red color as a crazed expression appeared on her face from time to time. Seeing the scene, Nhalos grinned back at her with a cold look in his eyes without saying anything.
*Boom!*
"You think that I would let this go according to your plan, then you are very wrong." Nhalos got confused not knowing why she suddenly started saying all of these things but what happened next made his mind go blank.
*ZHENG!!!*
The earth started to tremble as the whole divine tree shook on its own.
"NO! Evelyn, You cannot do this!" Sensing what was happening, the old man yelled in pain and sorrow.
*BOOM!*
He watched as one of the roots of the divine tree spurted out of the depths of the earth.
*BOOOM!*
And another one followed after another. Suddenly Evelyn slammed her hands together, and her entire figure started glowing. "You want to destroy the planet? I Won't let you do
it."
With a grin on her face, Evelyn watched as the roots that came out of the earth merged into her body and her whole body shined in a divine glow.
"Stop her!" Watching the natural atmosphere returning back to normal, Nhalos's expression darkened as he ordered all of the elves. The soldiers under his control started chanting their magic as they aimed their bows at her, but the other elves looked conflicted.
They felt that Evelyn was trying to save the world, but the demonic energy coming from her made them disgusted with her.
"NO ONE WILL TOUCH HER!" Nhalos narrowed his eyes seeing a little girl appearing in front of the woman.
"Lila, what are you doing?!" Elena yelled from afar in panic, but she was grinning in her mind. Lucian also added, "Come here, Lila, do not interfere in their matter."
Lila snorted in disgust upon hearing their words and raised her knives to show her conviction.
"Very well, I will kill you along with the woman." With an indifferent look on his face, Nhalos raised his hands and formed a bow and arrow of light and aimed at Lila who stood in front of Evelyn, trying to kill two birds with one stone.
*WOOSH!*
He released the arrow and watched as it made its way closer to the two of them; Evelyn tried to think of a way to block the attack, but her hands were tied with the magic she was performing.
*TIIINNNGGGG!!!!*
Suddenly, a sharp noise of metal clanking filled the area, causing everyone to fall on their knees with their hands covering their ears. Nhalos also had to cover his ears with magic to stop the pain from the voice.
He looked ahead and saw that his arrow was stopped by a dull-looking knife that was now etched on the ground. Following his intuition, he looked above in the air. As soon as he did that, a look of despair appeared in his eyes.
