Chapter 996: Dark Demon and the Elf Princess (4k)
This indicated that the other two elemental races were not nearby.
Half an hour quickly passed.
While they were resting, they also dispatched golems to search around the tower, but found no traces of anyone having climbed up.
After half an hour, Dark did not hesitate any longer. He directly had Fred North blow the conch shell, and everyone was prepared for a large-scale assault.
Fred North stood on the carriage platform, picked up the conch shell with his back facing the tower, held it to his ear, tapped it lightly, then brought it back to his mouth, gathered his breath, and blew the wind-conveying conch!
The sound of the wind-conveying conch was like a storm howling, the heavens and earth roaring in anger. Fred North exerted all his strength, and the sound of the conch spread further and further away, startling the surrounding creatures.
Weaker creatures immediately hid and fled, but those who considered themselves powerful all moved towards the direction where the conch was blown.
They either sneaked or ran madly, arriving at Dark’s rest area in no time.
Then, the [Twin Holy Knights] and the two elemental races released their golems, systematically eliminating those overconfident creatures.
[Demon King · Eldridge] guarded the formation. Once any creature broke through the golem encirclement, they would face the [Demon King · Eldridge]’s [Dark God Sword].
This newly acquired long-range ultimate skill proved extremely useful at this moment.
Basically, all hostile creatures could not withstand the power of the [Dark God Sword].
Seeing the rapid stabilization of the defenses around them, Dark turned his attention back to Fred North.
But even though the conch’s sound was so loud, Fred North received no response.
His expression gradually became grim.
In such a situation, there were generally three possibilities.
One was that the other conch was too far away or in an information-isolated environment.
Another was that Quintina North had unfortunately met her demise.
As long as Quintina North was alive, she wouldn’t ignore the sound of the conch.
The last possibility was that the other conch was already damaged. In fact, all three possibilities were quite plausible.
It couldn’t be concluded that Quintina North had definitely met her demise just because of this. Three minutes later.
Fred North finally stopped blowing the conch after three full minutes. He reluctantly tightened his grip on the conch, but the facts were as they were, unchangeable.
After a brief rest for half a minute, he finally couldn’t resist and blew the conch a second time.
Fred North repeatedly blew the conch, attracting more creatures to their location, one wave after another.
Seeing his expression, Dark did not stop him. Since maintaining the position wasn’t difficult, he continued.
However, the conch did not attract Quintina North; instead, it attracted a [Forest Elemental]!
That [Forest Elemental] was originally hiding far away and was unaffected by the conch’s sound.
He wanted to wait until the High Priestess of the elemental race entered the [Heavenly Court], then reunite with her.
But the movements of the surrounding creatures caught his attention.
After careful consideration, he decided to take a risk and stepped out from his hiding place.
When he silently approached Dark and company, the first thing he saw was Zane Burns standing next to Dark and Lucy Artesia.
After confirming that the two elemental races were not restrained or coerced, the [Forest Elemental] finally emerged from the wind.
He appeared before Lucy Artesia, knelt down on one knee, and greeted her like a knight: “It’s fortunate to find you here, Princess.”
“Isaiah Rogier, rise.” Lucy Artesia glanced around subtly.
However, the [Twin Holy Knights] showed no surprise, and Dark and Aurora were only slightly surprised.
Lucy Artesia, besides being a Moon Elf, was also the daughter of the current Queen of Elves, making her an elf princess!
But that was all there was to it.
Dark had seen too many princesses and wouldn’t treat her differently just because of her identity.
However, after recognizing [Forest Elemental] Isaiah Rogier, Lucy Artesia directly asked: “Isaiah, where is Jonathan? Also, did you get the gold token?”
Isaiah Rogier answered truthfully: “Since I was teleported here, I haven’t seen Jonathan. As for the gold token, I indeed obtained one.”
After saying this, he reached into his pocket and took out a gold token.
Lucy Artesia looked at the token, then threw it to Dark, saying, “It seems to be genuine.”
Seeing this, Isaiah Rogier’s pupils suddenly contracted, suppressing his urge to demand it back directly.
Although he spoke casually, he had actually risked his life to kill the monster chasing him, and he naturally valued this gold token as a war trophy immensely.
Dark roughly sensed his change, but after confirming the authenticity of the token, he still put it in his bag.
The front of the gold token was engraved with the image of the [Hunting Goddess], one of the twelve gods of Mount Polobos, specifically the [Moon Goddess] — Artemis.
Although the engraving on the token was just lines, Dark still noticed its resemblance to Principal Altair. Considering that Principal Altair was a saint who had awakened divine lineage, it seemed some secret was beginning to surface.
Following Lucy Artesia’s lead, Dark briefly introduced himself to Isaiah Rogier and did not interact with him further.
Afterwards, Fred North continued to blow the conch, hoping against hope, and more corpses piled up around them.
Surprisingly, the last [Forest Elemental] was also attracted over!
But when that [Forest Elemental] revealed himself, dark clouds suddenly drifted in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Quintina North’s figure faintly appeared behind the clouds.
[Good morning, please give me a Moon Ticket!]
