An equal contract was a contract that allowed both parties to have a certain degree of freedom. For Abel, signing an equal contract with the Tree of Life was a huge advantage.
The reason why the Goddess could do this was because she was about to lose her power. However, since she had already intervened, it would be an insult to her if she allowed the evil God's subordinates to succeed.
What was even rarer was that there was a strange connection between the Tree of Life and Abel. Through this connection, one could see that the Tree of Life was very accepting of Abel.
The Tree of Life was very proud. This could be seen from the fact that countless elves had failed to gain its approval.
Also, the connection between the Saintess and Abel made the Goddess treat him as one of her own. This was why she decided to help Abel and the Tree of Life. It was also to help herself.
After doing all this, the Goddess showed an ethereal smile on her face. Her aura began to spread, and within ten meters of her, plants began to grow, grow, and bloom.
When the Goddess' aura completely disappeared from Lorraine's body, Lorraine's body went limp and directly fell into the flowers.
The Mad Knight of Mead did not attack immediately after seeing Lorraine fall. He was also shocked by the power of the Goddess. When Lorraine finally fell, the thousands of beings present were all stunned.
Abel saw that Lorraine had fallen not far from the Holy Knight army. He panicked and shouted, "Lorraine!"
Afterward, a giant body appeared next to Lorraine. It was Doff. It obeyed Abel's command and teleported to Lorraine. It carefully held Lorraine in its palm and teleported back to Abel's side.
Doff gently placed Lorraine next to Abel. It knew how important Lorraine was to its master, so it was very careful. It was afraid that it would hurt Lorraine.
Abel lowered his body and carefully observed Lorraine to see if she was injured. He realized that Lorraine's muscles and skin were damaged. Even her spirit was exhausted.
This was the price of a God's descent. Lorraine had to bear the power of a God as an underage elf. Although she had undergone a long period of training to make her body more susceptible to the God's descent, she still paid a heavy price.
It would take a while for her to recover even with ordinary healing potions.
Looking at Lorraine's pale face, Abel didn't hesitate. He directly took out a bottle of 'full recovery potion' from his portal item and carefully poured the purple liquid into Lorraine's mouth.
A purple light flashed across Lorraine's body. Her eyes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened them. When she saw Abel in front of her, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
This smile was completely different from the smile of the Goddess. This smile was filled with happiness and joy. It was filled with the pure emotions of a little girl. Although the smile of the Goddess was also beautiful, it didn't contain any worldly emotions.
Seeing this pure smile, Abel understood why he couldn't see Lorraine the Elf in front of him. He had experienced all kinds of things since he came to this world, and he had seen countless girls.
It was because he could feel Lorraine's incomparably pure soul. This was something he could only truly feel after becoming powerful. Perhaps when he saw Lorraine, it was because of this soul attraction that made him have special feelings for Lorraine.
When he came to this world, his soul was far more powerful than ordinary people. He could unconsciously feel the soul influence of the people he interacted with.
This was also the reason why he only had eyes for Loraine even though he had seen countless women. It was because Loraine's soul was as pure as crystal, which deeply attracted him.
What Abel didn't know was that Lorraine's soul was so pure. She was supposed to be a prodigy in Druil, but she was chosen by the temple. She never learned Druil. Instead, she kept it a secret until she was taken back by the temple in the Central Continent. She was trained by the Saintess, and when she became an adult, she would go through the Saintess ceremony and become a real Saintess.
If he was a normal human, nothing would happen between him and Lorraine. Even if Lorraine's parents didn't ask about it, the temple wouldn't allow it.
But now, things were different. He had the recognition of the Goddess, the equal contract from the tree of life, and the most powerful potion maker in the Central Continent. All of these things made his status in the elves very high.
At least in the elves and the Central Continent, everyone who saw Abel had to call him 'the prestigious Master Abel'. This was the difference between status and identity.
"Brother Abel!" Loraine had consumed the Full Recovery Potion, and her body had instantly recovered to its peak condition. After she opened her eyes, she had the strength to call out the name that she had always wanted to call out.
"Lorraine, I'm so glad you're okay!" Abel saw Lorraine's face was rosy again. He couldn't help but smile when he heard her voice.
"Finally, brother Abel. I'm not dreaming, am I?" Lorraine tried her best to open her eyes and look around. She was still wondering if she was dreaming.
Just like Abel, she was also attracted to Abel's soul. Her pure and powerful soul made it hard for her to fall in love. If she didn't meet Abel, she would've been lonely like most of the previous Saintesses, living in the temple for her whole life.
However, ever since she met Abel, it was like Abel's face was engraved in her heart. Even if they hadn't seen each other for years, she still missed him.
However, she soon noticed the situation around her. The 5 big druids were looking at her and Abel strangely. Being able to hug and talk in front of thousands of Holy Knights and Mad Knights on the battlefield was probably a legend.
"The goddess has left. Although we only have 4 Mad Knights, do you think you can stop us?" Mad Knight Mead yelled outside the valley.
With the end of the god's descent, the situation on the battlefield changed again. There were only 4 mad knights and 5 big druids left. With the addition of Doff, the elves should have the upper hand.
However, out of the five big druids, only one grey bear had not entered hibernation. Even the mad wolf had returned to the monster portal bag. Without some time to rest, it would not be able to come out and fight again.
Although Doff was powerful, it couldn't fight freely in the narrow space of the valley, so it wasn't of much use.
Big Druil Lendo's face had recovered. The 5 lite healing potions had healed his wounds, and he could feel the urgency of the situation.
"Master Bennett, the great goddess said you have a way to chase away these evil Knights. We'll stop the evil Knight while you think of something!" He turned to Abel and whispered.
"Lorraine, rest well. I'll let Doff protect you!" Abel gently patted Lorraine's head and smiled.
His voice was full of confidence. It was like he really had a way, but he just didn't want Lorraine to worry.
Although the goddess said she wanted him and the tree of life to chase away the holy Knights, he really didn't know how to do it. There were 5000 holy knights and 4 mad knights. Any one of them could kill him as soon as they got close.
Doff's giant body blocked in front of Lorraine with a giant ancient pillar in its hand. Abel had ordered it to take Lorraine away through the soul chain.
With the teleportation ability and unparalleled defense, Lorraine could be safely protected. Even if the battle was lost, she wouldn't be hurt.
Abel didn't need to use his soulspeaker ability. He directly connected with the tree of life through the contract of equals. The tree of life also knew the danger, so it directly sent a pattern and a spell.
Abel stood up, and a branch of the tree of life dropped down and lifted him up. At that moment, it was like he was one with the tree of life. The turbulent energy of the tree of life also flowed into his body.
With the help of this energy, he stretched out his right hand, and a green energy followed his finger, leaving behind a shining green pattern in the air.
"Defense!" Mad Knight Mead was about to attack when he saw Abel being lifted up by the tree of life. He sensed the presence of the goddess from him. Although it was not as powerful as the goddess' presence, it was still enough to shock him.
Abel had activated the ability of the world stone, so he could easily draw the pattern sent by the tree of life.
Abel's movement was not fast in his eyes, but it was surprisingly fast in the eyes of everyone on the battlefield. It was like he had practiced this countless times.
When the last pattern was drawn, the green light on it began to flicker.
"In the name of the tree of life,
I call upon the sleeping tree,
The enemy is destroying nature,
Naturally, I need your help,
Wake up from your slumber,
Children of the tree of life! "
Abel's voice was as ethereal as the goddess' voice. There was a strange wave in his voice, and it rippled together with the green pattern in front of him.
The green light on the pattern spread out like water waves, ignoring the mountains and obstacles.
If someone were to look from the sky, they would see a green wave spreading out from the valley where Abel and the tree of life were. It was like a tidal wave that was spreading out in all directions within 20 miles.
Wherever the green wave passed, the 500 year old trees began to tremble. They shook their branches and pulled out their roots from the ground. The roots turned into legs in the green energy.
On their trunks, cracks appeared on the bark. Then, two eyes appeared on the trunks. The cracks below turned into the tree's mouth. Several thick branches intertwined with each other and turned into the tree's arms.
These trees that were at least 500 years old and at most thousands of years old stood up. They looked in the direction of the Tree of Life and let out a howl that seemed to come from ancient times.
Lendo the Great Druil looked at Abel on the tree of life and mumbled, "Tree Shepherd!"
The shock in his heart was no less than the stunned holy knights because he knew what this meant.
The "Tree Shepherd" was the legendary ability of an ancient Druil. It was said that powerful Druil could summon trees and turn them into tree people. However, as the elves became weaker and weaker, the ancient Druil's power also disappeared.
The "Tree Shepherd" was the most terrifying ability in a group battle. It could summon ancient trees and make them their helpers.
Once the tree people woke up, they would gain strength according to how long they had lived. Even the weakest tree person would have the strength of an advanced fighting force due to their height and strength.
It was hard to tell how many 500 year old trees there were within 20 miles. This was the Ervo forest, the elves' land without human interference. The elves wouldn't cut down trees in large numbers. They were the protectors of nature. They wouldn't cause any damage to the environment except for their own use.
"Get into formation, get into formation!" Mad Knight Mead regretted not attacking immediately. He saw more and more tree people standing up. The shortest one was at least 5 meters tall, and the tallest one was at least 10 meters tall.
Just the sound of the treants' footsteps was enough to make the ground tremble. Moreover, their numbers were uncountable. There were simply too many of them.
Abel stood on the branch of the tree of life. Although he couldn't see the other 3 directions clearly because of the mountain peaks, he could tell how many tree people there were just by looking outside the valley.
He could only summon it with the life energy of the tree of life. At that moment, he realized a spell icon had appeared on the skill tree of the Horadric cube. It was called 'Summon Treant,' but it could not be used outside of the tree of life.
This was because using 'treant summon' would consume a huge amount of life force. Even if he sucked it dry, he wouldn't be able to summon a treant. This was because no matter how strong his life force was, it couldn't be compared to a 500-year-old tree. If he wanted to catalyze it into a treant, he would need too much life force.
In the entire Central Continent, only the tree of life had so much life energy to cast this spell.
However, Abel soon thought of the Dark World. Maybe he could summon a tree person in the Dark World since there was also a tree of life there.
At this moment, the tree of life sent another message. It was a message in the form of light dots. These light dots were gathering towards a giant green light dot.
