Chapter 16: Undercurrents in the Dark

A raven flew across the lifeless ground.

The miasma was thick, and from time to time, bones could be seen sticking out of the ground.

The raven flew into a dark canyon ahead and melted into the darkness.

“I don’t think Galadriel will be able to do anything about the Anti-Magic Stone sent over this time, right?”

“That’s for sure. The Ancient Elven Tree that they rely on to survive has long been unable to provide them with protection!”

“A bunch of self-proclaimed nobles. They’re nothing without the protection of the Ancient Elven Tree!”

“Maybe after a while, the Golden Forest will be completely affected by the Anti-Magic Stone.”

“At that time, we might be able to take back the territory that belongs to us Dark Elves!”

In the dark underground, countless voices filled with disgust echoed in this underground space.

Elves with black wings were discussing their results today.

The Dark Elves were also elves from the Golden Forest.

Over the years, his obsession with dark magic led him into the darkness and freed him from the traditional way of birth of elves.

Relying on dark magic and living sacrifices, he could create new Dark Elves.

They were also the greatest “contributors” to the Abyssal invasion back then!

Countless Dark Elves were sitting around an array.

Every Dark Elf looked a little tired, but it could not hide the smugness in their words.

However, among the Dark Elves, there was an elf with white wings.

She sat by the array, toying with the skull of some creature.

“Ah! Ah!”

The raven’s hoarse cry echoed in this underground space. All the Dark Elves looked over.

A shadow appeared in the air, and Raven was instantly strangled by a pale hand.

The raven instantly melted into a pool of blood, which then formed a paragraph of words.

The smug Dark Elves froze.

Then the black shadow condensed and a hot woman with a skull crown appeared in the center of the array.

“How is that possible? We used everyone’s magic to activate the Death Speech black magic!”

“How can they resolve the Anti-Magic Stone so quickly?”

“Moreover, with Galadriel’s strength, she can at most seal the Anti-Magic Stone. That will also cause her to suffer a huge loss.”

“Could it be that those damned elves have shamelessly gone to the Elven Goddess for help again?”

“It’s possible. They’re working with humans. I’ve heard that a human magister has divine magic!”

All the Dark Elves were furious. This time, they used the Death Speech black magic to transfer the Anti-Magic Stone.

They had also suffered a lot.

They thought that they could severely injure the elves, but they did not expect the elves to completely resolve the Anti-Magic Stone in such a short period of time!

“Everyone, be quiet!”

The Dark Elf at the center of the array spoke. She was the Queen of the Dark Elves, Zyra.

Like Galadriel, she was a demigod magister.

Her eyes scanned the surrounding Dark Elves before she spoke coldly.

“The elves didn’t ask the Elven Goddess for help. Those selfish and arrogant fellows won’t cooperate with humans.”

“But we need to give the Abyss Lord an explanation.”

“I’ll choose some sacrifices and send them to the mouth of the abyss.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Dark Elves tensed up and kept glancing back and forth at the others.

Some of the weaker Dark Elves seemed to have guessed something.

They were about to leave secretly when they were suddenly pierced by spikes.

Soon, dozens of Dark Elves were selected.

They, who had also been pierced, bled from their mouths and noses and could only struggle weakly in the air.

The Dark Elves who had not been chosen heaved a sigh of relief. There was no pity on their faces.

“Everyone should know why. Our plan failed this time.”

“The Abyss Lord must be very angry. If we bring some sacrifices over, she might be a little more friendly to us next.”

Zyra explained briefly. Then, the Dark Elves in the air were sent into a corner of the darkness by the black demonic aura.

Although the sacrifice had been provided, Zyra still did not look much relieved.

The Abyss was not easy to deal with.

In the Goddess Hall.

The rhythmic heartbeat kept echoing in the hall.

Galadriel and the other three elders were all staring at the source of the heartbeat.

At this moment, runes were flowing on the golden egg’s shell. Every time they flowed, he could feel an abnormally active life force.

Galadriel and the others were a little excited.

At the same time, they were curious. What kind of species was the little life inside?

“Knock, knock!”

“Knock, knock!”

The sound of their hearts suddenly became much heavier. Galadriel and the others immediately perked up.

Then the light on the surface of the eggshell became a little blinding.

Galadriel and the others used their magic to protect their eyes. None of them wanted to miss this.

However, in the next second, the light of the golden egg instantly disappeared.

Galadriel and the others were dumbfounded. The Golden Egg acted as if nothing had happened.

After a long time, Undine tentatively stepped forward. “Could the hatching have failed?”

“I don’t think so. I can still feel the life in the egg.”

Galadriel reached out and pressed her hand against the eggshell. Warm magic spread out in her palm.

But a moment later, she froze.

She had wanted to sense the state of the small life in the egg and see what species it was but his magic power disappeared.

Needless to say, it must have been absorbed by the golden egg.

“Looks like it won’t hatch for the time being.”

Slyph sounded disappointed, but Vieruodis didn’t think so.

“I think the creature in here hasn’t hatched yet because the time isn’t right.”

“Think about it. Even if it didn’t hatch, it caused such a commotion previously.”

“When the time is right, the hatched creature might really become the hope of the elves!”

Vieruodis was filled with hope for the egg. At this moment, Undine asked her question.

“Speaking of which, why can this egg devour the Anti-Magic Stone?”

Logically speaking, the Anti-Magic Stone was the nemesis of all magical creatures, and this egg was naturally no exception.

However, it had swallowed the power of the Anti-Magic Stone.

“I’ll answer that question.”

Galadriel spoke, and then she sat back in her seat.

“At first, I thought the egg was absorbing energy and converting it into an aura that would benefit us.”

“But that doesn’t seem to be the case now.”

“The creature in the egg is obviously absorbing magic, and its upper limit is high. That’s why it can devour the Forbidding Stone.”

“There’s a vast amount of magic power stored inside the Anti-Magic Stone, but we can’t use it at all.”

“But it can do it. That is, it absorbs all the magic of the Forbidding Stone.”

After hearing Galadriel’s answer, the three elders present were stunned.

Absorbing the magic power of the Anti-Magic Stone could be said to be unique in the thousand-year history of the elves!

On the other side, Chen Kun, who was in the egg, looked incredulous. Of course, if he had an expression to begin with.
