The holy light crashed into the center of the vortex, and the green vortex instantly crumbled before dispersing in all directions. All of the trees around the castle were swept away as if they had been swept away by fierce winds.
"The Forest Star Rain has been stopped!"
Some elves exclaimed, and all of them turned to Irina with awe and veneration in their eyes.
"How is this possible?!" Schubert's eyes widened with incredulity. His ultimate forbidden spell had been destroyed in an instant by Irina's holy light. Hadn't she been severely wounded when she returned to the Wind Forest three years ago?
However, Irina didn't answer his question as she had already disappeared from the treetops.
"Crap!" Schubert's heart stirred with alarm, and he waved his wand through the air. Countless vines and wooden walls appeared on the ground before him, and he tried to hurtle back in retreat.
However, right at this moment, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the golden shield of light around his body. It abruptly contracted, immobilizing him for an instant. It turned out that this wasn't an offensive spell. Instead, it was a restriction spell.
Schubert's heart jolted with shock as he began to chant an incantation. A green shield of light enshrouded his entire body, and its color became darker and darker. He looked around, trying to figure out where Irina was going to come out from. This restriction spell was clearly only temporary, and he would be able to break free in three seconds.
Irina's power had indeed exceeded his expectations. Three years ago, she had returned to the Wind Forest and given birth to a half-elf child. As a result, her powers had been drastically reduced, and Mistress Helena had determined that she would never be able to recover her powers as a 10th-tier great magic caster. However, just from the holy light that had just torn apart the Forest Star Rain, he could tell that she had already completely recovered her powers. In fact, she might even be more powerful than she had been three years ago.
However, he wasn't in too much despair. With his status and the contributions he had made to the elven race over the years, Mistress Helena and the queen definitely wouldn't allow him to die.
He had already made up his mind. After this incident, he was going to work with the other ministers to pressure the queen to remove Irina from her position as the elven princess. Then, he would choose a new elven princess from the major families. Even the elven queen had to be wary of the consequences if the entire elven race were to find out about this.
"I think you should know why I want to kill you." Golden light lit up behind Schubert, and Irina slowly strode forward. She raised her staff with a cold expression as she said, "You, and all of the people who tried to harm my child, I'll take their lives one by one. I won't spare anyone who harms my child or him."
"No! Irina, you can't kill me! You are committing treason! " Schubert sensed the magic waves that were beginning to converge behind him, and his entire body turned cold. He suddenly recalled that rainy night three years ago, when that man had tied his child to his chest and fought a bloody battle. His voice and tone had also been just as cold.
At that time, he was watching from the side, occasionally casting one or two spells to disturb him. He was indeed very strong, he had never seen such a powerful knight, but he was only one person, and there were many of them, so he lost.
Schubert could still remember the cold look in his eyes as he scanned everyone present with his sword to prevent himself from falling. Even though he had already been crippled, everyone still felt a chill run down their spines.
"Irina, stop!" The space beside her warped, and Helena appeared in mid-air. She yelled in a cold voice as she pointed her wand at her.
"Put it down, Irina." A gentle voice sounded out from the void. No one knew where it came from, but all of the elves present lowered their heads.
"Thump!"
A dull thump rang out, and dazzling golden light erupted from the staff, shattering the green magic shield before striking the back of Schubert's head. Even though several magic barriers had appeared in quick succession, and there was even a golden one among them, all of them were still punctured by the staff with unstoppable force.
Blood and white brain matter gushed forth from Schubert's deformed skull, and the green light shield crumbled. The light in Schubert's eyes gradually faded, and he slowly collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open.
"Sorry, you're late." Irina looked up at Irina with a mocking smile on her face. Faint golden light swirled around her staff, purifying all of the impurities, as if she had just slapped an annoying fly to death.
"Family Leader Schubert is dead!!!"
The elves of the Krol Family yelled in horror at the sight of Schubert's motionless body lying in a pool of blood.
As one of the most powerful and influential families in the elven race, they were already used to living under Schubert's protection. However, the tree that supported the entire Krol Family had fallen, and he had been killed by Irina without any warning or reason. This was like a dream to them, and they felt as if the sky were about to collapse.
"The princess killed the smiling Netherworld Monarch! She killed Schubert! " The enslaved elves looked at Irina, who was holding her staff, and Schubert, who was lying on the ground, and their hearts suddenly began to thump violently.
The family leader of the Krol Family was a 10th-tier great magic caster, and he was the minister in charge of the elven race's punishments. He was the man who had created all types of laws that stripped them of their freedom, turning them into slaves. Now, he had finally died at the hands of Princess Irina. It was as if holy light had shone upon the earth, illuminating their souls, and hope for freedom had reappeared before them.
All of the guests who had been invited to the banquet wore horrified expressions. If Irina had been killed just because Schubert had enslaved a normal elf, then what were they going to do?
"Irina, do you know what you've done?" Helena yelled in a cold voice as she looked at Schubert, who had been killed by holy light in the instant that his head had been punctured.
"Mistress Helena! Please uphold justice for Family Leader Schubert! Princess Irina came here and killed our family leader without any reason. Our family leader was a highly revered figure in the elven race, and he had contributed his entire life to the elven race. If you don't uphold justice for us, then all of us will be bitterly disappointed. "Schubert's twin brother stepped forward with a grief-stricken expression.
"Please uphold justice for us, Mistress Helena and Her Majesty!" All of the Krol Family members immediately fell to their knees as they yelled in unison.
Helena's expression became even colder, and black light surged behind her, as if she were about to erupt at any moment.
"Do you really not know why I killed him, Helena?" Irina looked at Helena with a hint of mockery in her eyes, and her long silver hair billowed around her. She had no regard for the Krol Family members at all.
"According to the elven law, those who kill elven officials will be judged by the panel of elders. Irina, you've committed such a heinous crime, and even if you're a princess, you'll still be judged and punished. Surrender now!" Helena said in a solemn voice as she raised a hand, and the bright sky was instantly enshrouded in darkness. The entire The Wind Forest was plunged into darkness. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and there were countless stars shimmering in the night sky. Helena stood in the air with specks of starlight shimmering all over her body, making her appear as if she were a goddess.
"I only know the natural laws of the elven race, and I don't recognize the elven law that you people concocted. Using human laws to bind elves is a complete joke. Helena, if you want to fight, then I'll fight you to the end! " Irina took a step forward, and dazzling light erupted from the tip of her staff, as if a torch had been lit in the night sky.
