Lealdo's death was like a bomb that exploded in Hiro's mind. Anger and hatred instantly filled his entire consciousness. He did not think about why Chen Rui suddenly had this kind of strength. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to crush this damn despicable human into pieces!
Hiro was very close to Chen Rui. With this full attack, even if Rolla wanted to rescue him, it would be too late.
Unfortunately, the furious elf did not see the fairy dragon's expression. Only Dulsa noticed that there was not even a trace of panic on the fairy dragon's beautiful face. She had no intention of "rescuing" him at all.
In the blink of an eye, Hiro had already rushed close to Chen Rui. Just when the elven elder thought that the human was about to be annihilated in his anger, a hand appeared in his sight. The next second, his neck was tightly grabbed, and his whole body was lifted up. The feeling of suffocation made the elf lose the ability to react for a while, and he could only instinctively kick his hands and feet.
When Hiro reacted and planned to use the power of the kingdom to get rid of the restraint, he felt a tsunami-like shockwave from the other party's hand. His kingdom's peak level power was shaken several times by this tsunami-like force, and it completely collapsed. He could no longer successfully condense the kingdom.
Hiro was shocked. He finally realized the horror of the other party. It was at least a powerhouse of the same strength as him! The elven elder suddenly realized that he had made the biggest mistake. A mage, facing an enemy of the same level who was good at close combat, did not pull away but sent himself forward instead!
This mistake was enough to be fatal!
The situation changed extremely suddenly. Dulsa, who had been guarding against Rolla, did not expect Hiro to be restrained by Chen Rui. Seeing Hiro's painful expression, Dulsa shouted, and a blue light flew towards Chen Rui. In any case, Hiro was an elven elder after all, and she could not let him be killed by an outsider.
Rolla had long been on guard, so she would not let Dulsa succeed. Colorful light flashed, and the blue light disappeared without a trace.
Just as Tulsa was about to continue, she suddenly stopped because she sensed a special aura. This aura was very familiar, and it carried a kind of fresh and pure power of nature. Her spirit felt as if it had been cleansed, and her spirit was refreshed.
Even Hiro, who was restrained, felt this aura, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The Tree of Nature …" Tulsa's voice trembled. This human's body was actually emitting the aura of the Holy Tree!
Although the aura was not particularly dense, it was undoubtedly the power of nature of the Holy Tree. Moreover, the aura of this Tree of Nature was not as astringent and old as when the power of the abyss corroded in the Immortal Capital. It was as if it had been reborn and was brimming with vitality.
"You are … the new Hero King!" Dulsha immediately reacted as the gathered energy dissipated without a trace. She slowly descended to the ground.
"You received news from Immortal Capital?"
"Greetings Your Highness the Hero King. Thank you, Your Highness, for saving the hope of the elves. The resurrection of the Holy Tree is the most important matter for the elves. I happened to receive news from Immortal Capital yesterday, but due to Your Highness' request, the news did not mention Your Highness's specific situation in detail. Otherwise, there would not be today's misunderstanding. "
Hiro's face was extremely pale at this moment. This "despicable" human was actually the Hero King who had repelled the power of the abyss and saved the Tree of Nature!
"I'm just the despicable human that Elder Hiro mentioned. I don't deserve the title of 'Your Highness', and I don't think that today was just a 'misunderstanding'." Chen Rui did not put down the restrained Hiro. He only glanced at Dulsha indifferently. "To be precise, I only retain the right to accept the honor of the elves' Hero King. I'm not the real Hero King. If every elf is like him … then I will be ashamed of this title. Not only me, but even my wife's father, the real Elf King, will also view it as the greatest shame. "
Wife's father? The real Elf King? Dulsha subconsciously glanced at Rolla. That's right, the fairy dragon! The father of this genius Dragons was the Elf King Spann from 20,000 years ago!
Dulsha revealed a bitter smile. This battle was too unjust. Be it Hiro or the dead Lealdo, they actually took the initiative to provoke these two. They were simply asking for trouble!
"When Her Majesty Liv gave me this Sacred Leaf Badge, she said that I can exercise the same authority as her." Chen Rui took out a crystal "leaf" and slowly flew it towards Dulsha. "Then, Elder Dulsha, please report everything that happened today to the Immortal Capital. Also, please pass on my suggestion – banish this Elder Hiro from the elves forever. I don't think an elf who has such discrimination and blasphemy towards life and race is a true elf. If the elves feel that there is a need to keep this national-level elder, then take back my Sacred Leaf Badge forever. "
The corners of Tulsa's eyes twitched. The final sentence carried too much weight. The Holy Tree and the hope of the elves' survival rested on the Hero King. Regardless of which elf it was, they could not bear the consequences of such a serious outcome.
Dulsha glanced at the ashen Hiro and nodded. "I will bring Hiro back to the Immortal Capital of Silver Moon and report what happened today and Her Highness's exact words to Her Majesty Liv and the Elders."
This sentence was equivalent to stabbing Hiro in the end. His public banishment was almost a done deal. There was no way to change it.
Hiro's mind buzzed as he felt the world spin. To him, who believed that his bloodline was superior, being banished from the elves forever was worse than death.
Thinking of Lealdo's death, regret, hatred, anger … new hatred and old hatred surged in Hiro's heart, and his body suddenly ignited. The surrounding space began to change, and a dangerous aura spread out.
Self-destruction!
"You're mad! Stop! " Dulsha was alarmed. With Hiro's strength and talent, even Dulsha might not be able to withstand the power of such a reckless self-destruction, much less the Hero King of the kingdom at the pinnacle!
One had to know that the Hero King had the Holy Tree of Life that concerned the continuation of the elves. If anything were to happen to it …
Dulsha was truly enraged as she charged at Chen Rui without any regard. This Hiro had actually dragged the entire elven race down with him!
The kingdom's power in Hiro's body rapidly expanded as his twisted and hideous facial features revealed a faint sound of gnashing teeth. His body transformed into a dazzling beam of light that shot out in all directions. "Die! Despicable … "
Chen Rui did not retreat or dodge in panic. In fact, it was already too late.
"Boom!" The earth shook and the mountains shook. Dulsa was sent flying by the huge force.
It's over! Dulsha's first thought was despair, but she immediately came to a realization. That's not right! The self-destruction power of the kingdom's pinnacle shouldn't be this weak! It seems to have been suppressed by something?
At that moment, there was a flash of crimson starlight as an armored figure appeared in the middle of the explosion. There was a shocking energy churning in the middle of his hands. That energy was the kingdom's power that Hiro had detonated at the cost of his life!
The two armored palms clasped together, and the terrifying kingdom's energy was extinguished like a candle that had been blown out.
Dulsha looked in shock at the human who emitted a powerful aura. When she met the pair of eyes that were as resplendent as the stars, reverence surged in her heart as she bowed deeply.
The battle in the tower forest finally came to an end. After Leard was rescued, Chen Rui resumed his identity as a magic array master who didn't know any power. Dulsha naturally wouldn't reveal his secret. Instead, she announced Rialdo's death to Leard and claimed that the half-elves had colluded with their family to harm the innocent. This was the punishment they deserved. She didn't mention a word about Hiro since it was an internal affair of the elves.
Even so, it was enough to shock Leard. Rialdo's death was definitely related to Rolla. He never expected this madam to have such "power" to completely settle this dispute!
However, what about Edgar who died in the White Tower? How would he explain this to the imperial capital?
Leard brought Chen Rui and Rolla out of the Tower of Nature. Just as he was feeling anxious, another piece of bad news came.
The patriarch of the Mogoth family, Moya, appealed to the lord of Yagda, Duke Vanille. He said that Leard had protected the fugitive Tess and her sister, killed the heir of the Mogoth family, Visvo, and injured the elder of the family, Rialdo. At present, Vanille had already sent troops to surround the Bright Trading Company of the Moore Deng family. The person in charge of the Moore Deng family in Yagda City, Nimo, had sent someone to the tower forest to ask for help.
Originally, with the Mogoth family's strength, it was impossible for them to pose a threat to the Molden family. However, Vanille was backed by the Reggiana family. The Reggiana family and the Molden family had always been at odds with each other politically. The upper echelons of both families had been at loggerheads in the parliament many times, and the conflicts of interest and friction between them had never ceased.
The Mogoth family was originally a small, neutral force. Now that Moya had taken the initiative to appeal to Vanille, it was equivalent to leaning towards the Reggiana family.
Vanille was the lord of Yagda City, while Leard was one of the three sacred magicians in the tower forest. He was also the representative of the alliance between the Rayo Empire and the elves. Both held important positions, but were not in the same field, so they usually lived in harmony.
However, in recent years, the situation in the parliament was unpredictable. The conflict between the two families was escalating day by day. Now that they had grasped this small problem, they naturally had to make a fuss.
It was fine if it was the matter of Visvo, but Leard was really worried about Edgar. Because Edgar's true identity was the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Blue Brilliance, Kovalonte!
Kovalonte took this illegitimate son very seriously, and specially ordered Leard to take care of him. Now that Edgar had died because of Hiro, Leard's shadow was more or less the cause of this conflict. Once this matter was exposed, whether it was Leard himself or the entire Moore Deng family, it would cause unimaginable consequences.
After understanding the whole story, Chen Rui was silent for a moment before making a decision.
Not long after, a piece of news spread throughout Yagda City. Visvo of the Mogoth family had offended and injured the third prince of the Long Huang Empire, Arthur Roland, who came to marry Pearl Princess Rambis!
The world-famous lord of Jinyao Territory, mechanic grandmaster His Royal Highness, represented the entire Long Huang Empire to lodge the strongest protest to the Rayo Empire!
