Chapter 491: Queen of the Forbidden Ocean
The elders of the Church of the Twin Gods and even Ascalor flaunted their auras. The twin prophets went close to the tree of life and death with Creepysoo, Levin Cloud and Anastacia. It seems that the tree of life and death has also took a liking to Creepysoo and Anastacia.
The being that came to the floating territory are five individuals. Each of the individual carried great power that would rival a demigod, but they are not yet in that level. The five 'guests' are basically at the same level as that of the Daemos Elders.
Despite the power gap, the elders of the Church of the Twin Gods are confident. Adrian could see why they are confident because the energy of life and death is constantly filling them up. Despite not being that familiar with the opposite energy they have not practiced, Adrian could see them holding out if they all worked together.
The five individuals do not look weak either as each possess the power equivalent to a Daemos elder. The demigods are probably protecting their homes from the possible attack of the dark god. The five are not the only ones trying to travel to Avalon, but they are the fastest to reach the area.
One is actually a dragon that looked fierce with its red scales almost akin to fire itself. The second one that rushed towards here is familiar to Adrian as he has seen her before and that is the Pope of the Church of Light. The third individual that reached is another familiar person to Adrian and that is the old monk he encountered in the eastern continent.
The fourth individual that came is actually a male Gnome riding what looks like a futuristic jet craft. Adrian always wanted to visit the Gnome kingdom as they are known for creating the best technology. They are also equipped with the best surveillance system which is why Adrian cannot go.
The combination of magic and technology is fearsome, but few players could actually succeed which is why Gnomes are not a popular starting race. The complexity of magitech is what made the players steer clear of becoming a gnome but apparently a rumor has spread in the community that only smart players become gnomes.
The fifth and final individual is a shocker to Adrian because she is a little girl wearing a long dress. Adrian could see that the girl is not normal because she is either wearing a Glamour or hiding her real form very well. Adrian could see that she has a form that is monstrous as he could see tentacle like appendages connected to her lower body.
The fire dragon that arrived before them is different from Kanlaon as the dragon looked like a western dragon. The fire dragon had two great big wings behind its back while having the body similar to that of a Komodo dragon where western dragons took inspiration from.
The fire dragon looked at Kanlaon with a surprised face before looking towards Adrian. Kanlaon did not cower, but Adrian told all his soulbounds to back down as they will definitely die if they get caught in the crossfire. After the fire dragon gazed at Adrian, it shifted its gaze towards the tree of life and death along with the four it came with.
Ascalor shed his transformation to reveal his true form. He flew through the sky and matched the altitude of the five 'guests'. He took his time before finally asking them the real question seeing that the other party is not saying anything.
"State our business here." Ascalor stated as he radiated the full dignity of a Daemos Elder.
"Is it just me or does it feel like the old man feels younger?" Adrian thought as he stared at Ascalor's true form.
"We only came here to observe, Arch Demon. No need for hostilities as we just came to check out the source of immense energy. At least that is what I came here for. I do not know about these four and the others coming here as well." The fire dragon stated in a very feminine voice which surprised Adrian and his friends.
"I just came to see if it was a new energy source that I can use for magitech." The male Gnome riding the futuristic jet stated.
"I sensed a great source of vitality and came immediately in order to sate my curiosity. I mean no offence." The old monk stated as he suddenly made praying gestures.
The Pope of the Church of Light Pristina gave no answer as she just observed the two different elven species below. She is rather perturbed by this because the angels put a great stigma for the other elven species as the elves are stronger when their species grouped up. Suffice to say, she is not happy with what is happening but could also not interfere.
"It seems the Pope of the Church of Light is tongue tied but her answer is none of my concern. What I want to know is why would the Queen of the Forbidden Ocean come here?" Ascalor stated as he looked to the little girl with a golden crown adorner her head.
"As expected of an Arch Demon, even my best disguise could not fool you." The Queen of the Forbidden Ocean stated.
Everyone except for the fire dragon is shocked that one of the individuals that came is the Queen of the Forbidden Ocean. They all expected that it is just an expert that wanted to look like a child as some liked to do that. Everybody knew that the Queen of the Forbidden Ocean is none other than a Scylla.
It is said that the Scylla are a race related to dragons because their first ancestor had multiple dragon heads like a hydra. In actuality, the Scylla are a race that only comprised of women and their lower bod is that of an octopus. Their counterpart is the Kraken race which are all male.
"I was just curious as a thick aura of death suddenly appeared in the vast world. As you know, the Scylla and Kraken race are somewhat of a follower of the God of Death." The Queen of the Forbidden Ocean stated but Ascalor just scoffed at that remark. She just like killing people at sea for her enjoyment.
The Queen of the Forbidden Ocean might not want to admit but they are a very territorial race that would destroy or kill anyone that wonders their seas. The world of Nebulon is half land and half water which makes them rulers of a third of the whole sea. The other one third is ruled by the Hydromorph beastkins while the remaining area is filled with great sea monsters.
"It seems that you have helped the elves to restore the Tree of Life, but it seems there is something wrong with it." Pristina stated in time for the other onlookers to arrive. Rather, she perfectly timed what she said as soon as the others arrived.
"There is nothing wrong with the tree you see before you. Now all of you can go back to your camps as there is nothing much to see here. We do not want to make a fuss with a newly revived tree that empowers the world, do we?" Ascalor stated with a smile.
Pristina intentionally stated the words 'Tree of Life' because it is a special existence in the world. The reasons the elves are not antagonized by the other races despite having no demigod is in relation with the tree of life. Only the elves could communicate with the tree of life from their understanding.
The real reason for the protection of the elves is the grace of the First Dragon King. The elves used the immense vitality of the tree to cure the vastly injured wife of the First Dragon King. Since then, every dragon honored the vow of their first king to protect the elven race as there has never been a demigod elf since then.
In truth the only reason why elves could not become demigods because of not mastering their Ephemeral abilities. It is one of the main requirements for an elf to master their Ephemeral to its max to become a demigod. The only one close to that now is Elder Willow but he became greatly injured which made him get a setback.
"If that is the tree of life then you will allow us to inspect it." The fire dragon stated to which the others raised their agreement.
"That would ne a big NO." Ascalor stated which raised the ire of every individual that came to Avalon.
"And why would that not be possible?" The Queen of the Forbidden Ocean asked with a rather irritated tone.
"Because this land is a holy land of the elves. Also, the very land the tree is rooted on is owned by my pupil. He may be a brat, but the master must stick up for his favorite brat." Ascalor stated with great enthusiasm.
"A mere demon dares to block me!" Pristina stated as she started to charge towards the tree.
The elders of the Church of the Twin Gods soon activated their abilities to create a barrier to cover the whole island. Pristina is confident in herself that she could break the barrier as long as she used some of her angelic powers but that became her mistake.
As soon as her arm touched the barrier, it got blown away and withered immediately. She lost her arm just by touching the barrier. The others who saw this soon stopped trying to sneakily enter the floating island.
