Within the starry cave abode.
The star that was on the brink of destruction began to gradually regain its brightness. Even though it wasn't as bright as before, it was becoming more and more stable, displaying an extremely resilient nature.
Helena's expression gradually eased, and she reverted back to her usual calm self.
Heidi, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at the star, and the hatred in her eyes became even more pronounced.
All of the elves in The Wind Forest were looking up toward the west. The green light emanating from the Tree of Life was converging toward the west, and Princess Irina was currently in the Roth Empire.
No one knew what had happened, but the Tree of Life's abnormal behavior seemed to indicate that something bad was about to happen.
The elven queen, who was standing on the tallest tree in The Wind Forest, heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still looking toward the northwest with a concerned expression as she murmured to herself, "Irina … What happened? If anyone dares to hurt you, I won't let them get away with it."
On a treetop outside the Wind Forest, a slightly disheveled female elf stood on the treetop, looking up at the clear green light in the sky with a worried expression on her intricate features.
"What happened to Princess Irina in Rodu? Could it be that someone's done something to her? "Blour murmured to himself as he stood guard here for over 10 days.
Right at this moment, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.
Blour's expression changed slightly, and he used a dense layer of leaves to shield his body. He cast his gaze into the distance, and discovered that a team of several dozens of people was making their way toward them.
The leader of the team was a demon, and there were two other demons and orcs standing guard beside him. In the middle of the team was an elf who had her hands bound and mouth gagged. In the darkness, the sound of footsteps and whips being whipped were extremely clear.
"They're finally here …"
Blour looked at the team with fury burning in his eyes. His wand appeared in his hand, and he leaned forward slightly in preparation to attack.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Three arrows tore through the silence, and two demons and one orc were struck in the throats. The green light on the tips of the arrows exploded in their throats, and a bloody hole instantly appeared in their necks. They died almost instantly.
"There's an ambush!"
The leader of the demons roared and raised his hand. An earthen wall appeared in front of him. An arrow was nailed into the earthen wall. The tip of the arrow almost penetrated the earthen wall. After the explosion, dust filled the air.
The escorting team suddenly became chaotic. The demons and orcs took out their weapons and looked around nervously, trying to find a target to attack. However, two demons were still nailed to the tree by arrows.
A vigorous figure traversed through the forest, reaping the lives of demons and orcs with a bow and arrow like the Grim Reaper.
"Why is she here?"
Blour was just about to spring into action when a hint of surprise appeared on his face at the sight of the demon traversing through the trees. He immediately pointed his wand at the leader of the demons, upon which green light quickly converged to form a sabertooth that pounced toward the demon.
…
"Where is he?"
Crassus and Novan emerged from the teleportation spell formation. Their brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the fearful and wary black-robed figures, as well as Josh, who was being protected by them. They then looked at the five streets that had almost been razed to the ground, and their brows furrowed even further.
"It's Alex. I didn't think he would still be alive." Novan looked around with a hint of surprise on his face.
Crassus walked around in a circle, and clicked his tongue as he said, "Six 10th-tier demons, and even Benson's Eye Monster was killed. He should've been injured as well. Alex and Irina really are a force to be reckoned with. I was worried for nothing. I can't afford to mess with them …"
Novan murmured to himself with a concerned expression, "Orcs, demons, and forest trolls are all targeting Princess Irina in Rodu. The situation is getting more and more chaotic. It looks like they don't want peace anymore …"
"That's not necessarily the case. Three years ago, over a dozen 10th-tier demons died trying to kill Alex. This time, another six died trying to kill Irina, and one was severely injured. In the end, neither Alex nor Irina died." Crassus shook his head with a smile, and said, "Now, they should be considering whether they can defeat the humans and elves if a war breaks out."
"Greetings, Master Novan and Master Crassus."
Josh stood up with the help of the black-robed figures, and cupped his fist in a respectful salute toward the two of them. His face was still deathly pale.
Crassus took a glance at Josh and the griffin that had been sliced in half, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face as he said, "I didn't think that the second prince would get here so quickly. However, you look a little disheveled. Did you get injured by accident? I heard that if you walk around at night too often, there's always a chance of encountering ghosts. Have you heard of this before? "
Josh's expression darkened slightly, but he still tried his best to remain calm as he said, "I was worried about Princess Irina's safety, so I rushed here as quickly as I could."
"Then, have you seen Alex?" Crassus continued to ask, completely ignoring Josh's dark expression.
"Alex is already dead. A black-robed figure took Princess Irina away. I don't know if he has any ill intentions, but I'll send someone to pursue him." Josh shook his head as he averted his gaze.
"I see. Then you'd better send someone to pursue him. After all, we won't be so lucky every time." Crassus nodded before turning to Novan with a hearty smile, and said, "Let's go and have a few more drinks to celebrate Alex's survival!"
…
The feeling of exhaustion came from every muscle in his body. Meg felt as if his soul had already floated outside of his body, and he couldn't control his body at all. It was a feeling as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out. He finally understood what the system meant by aftereffects.
He suddenly felt a lingering fear. If Ah Zi hadn't appeared, then he might've been sitting in an alley somewhere near the fifth street, and then killed by a black-robed figure.
If it weren't for the warm embrace behind him, then he might've fallen off the griffin's back and become a bloody mess on a building.
Hmm, the embrace was indeed very warm and soft.
Even in his current state, Meg could still feel the warmth coming from his head and face, as well as the faint orchid fragrance in the air.
"Alex, what's wrong with you?"
Irina asked with a nervous expression as she hugged Meg, who seemed to have lost all his bones. Green light flowed from her fingertips into Meg's chest, and the green light that surged from the distant sky was already so thin that it couldn't be seen.
Meg, who was still fighting valiantly just a moment ago, suddenly became limp as if he had lost all of his power and power. Even his heartbeat had slowed to a crawl, and she was at a loss as to what to do with this abnormal change.
Life magic quickly nourished Meg's body, and his heart began to beat again. His numb muscles began to recover, and his overdrawn cells recovered. Meg's fingers twitched, and he continued to lie in the warm embrace in silence.
"How much longer are you going to pretend?"
