What was going on? Wasn't the devil sealed by the Progenitor Elves and tortured in the caves? Nothing happened when it came here to play in the past, so why would its claws break through the seal today?!
Marni's blood sprayed like rain as the devil crushed him. Half of Selene's body was drenched red, and she was left dumbstruck.
It was only when the gigantic demonic claw reached for her that she came to her senses and scrambled away from the front of the cave.
This can't go on. I have to run!
Though she was physically much older than Marni and old enough to be his grandmother, the mental growth of elves was very slow. Even if she was just over a hundred years old, she might not even compare to Jessica or Gou Dan in terms of mental age.
It was precisely because of this that she would do such an irrational prank because she hated humans. When she encountered such an unexpected situation, she also fell into a panic and did not know how to deal with it.
It was fortunate that Marni's dying words gave Selene a clear instruction, and she subconsciously did as he said: escape back to Trinia, seek help from others, and stop the devils in the caverns from wreaking more havoc!
Selene scrambled away from the bushes in front of the cave and ran as fast as she could towards the entrance of Trinia.
As mentioned before, the dimension of the Great Forests itself was very fragile, which was why Trinia, the elven capital, did not actually exist in the prime material plane. Instead, it was a subspace attached to the outer reaches of the prime material plane like a secret realm.
However, the wood elves' thousand years of research had thoroughly grasped every aspect of that space and recorded detailed data on almost every parameter. That was precisely why even if they didn't have a profound understanding of spatial technology, the elves still managed to secure Trinia's entrances and exits in relatively hidden locations in the Great Forests where the spatial barriers were relatively weak.
That was also why many slave-catching squads had stealthily circled the Trinia Forests many times, but never found the legendary elven settlement deep within the forests. Instead, they ended up becoming food for various monsters and magical beasts …
After Selene had fled twenty to thirty meters away, a violent rumble echoed behind her. It was the sound of the cavern walls collapsing.
Dust and humus were blown into the air by the wind caused by the collapse of the rock formation, forming a rose-shaped cloud that covered the sky.
The elven maiden couldn't help but turn her head to look. She found a huge shadow slowly rising from the ground amidst the smoke and dust, shaking off the rocks and vegetation on its body.
Even with the dust blocking her vision, she could still clearly see the terrifying horns on Feng's head, as well as the huge tail with arrowhead-shaped bone pieces on its back.
That demon had actually managed to break free!
Selene was horrified.
Even if the adult wood elves possessed considerable power and were once categorized as magical beasts by humans, that was only relative to a weak race such as humans.
If they were to be compared to some extraordinary races, then the situation of the Elves wouldn't be much better than that of the humans.
Devils were one of the most typical Extraordinary races.
Unlike the demonic eggs that parasitized intelligent races and infected them after hatching, gradually turning them into demons, the devils that originally resided in hell were a unique and powerful living being.
Most devils were born with supernatural abilities. They came in all shapes and forms, and their ecology remained a mystery even now. Still, most of them had horns that symbolized their race's status and arrowhead-shaped tails that signified nobility in hell.
Many believed that devils worshipped demon gods, but that was actually a misunderstanding. Those who worshipped demon gods were hosts that were parasitized by demonic eggs, which in turn was a product that the demon gods had spread to the mortal realm to select believers for themselves (in that aspect, it was similar to Xi Wei's System).
As for what gods the devils worshipped, or if they even had any faith at all, no one knew until now.
However, devils were born with a certain degree of spatial ability. While it wasn't enough for them to cross the World Barrier to the mortal realm (the Prime Material Plane), they could project their shadows into the mortal realm to interact with intelligent beings through certain catalysts just like the gods.
Almost every devil had the ability to bewitch people. They liked to sign contracts with intelligent beings and then play them in the palm of their hands through the contract.
Their goal was also clear: they wanted the unlucky ones who became their toys to find a way to summon themselves from hell to the mortal realm through various rituals!
That's right. Although demons were infamous and even appeared in some literary works as the opposite of the gods who symbolized truth, goodness, and beauty (believers would always subconsciously beautify their idols), they were essentially supernatural creatures, and were far from the gods who could play with the laws of nature.
That was why devils were not bound by the Laws set down by the Trinity. As long as humans (or individuals of other intelligent races) went through certain rituals, they could summon their true forms to the mortal realm!
Most of the famous devils had lived for over a thousand years (the Third Divine War did not affect hell, which was why there were many creatures over a thousand years old), and almost every one of them could fight dragons head-on in the mortal realm. Coupled with their personality of wanting to see the world in chaos, most of them were iron dolls who would say obscene things to attract a dragon's attention while sending their clones to steal dragon eggs.
"Hmm, that fellow is starting to move in this direction. There is an 80% chance that he has already noticed my aura. With my current strength, it is practically impossible for me to escape."
Faced with such a desperate situation, Selene calmed down instead. "Even so, we have to do as that fellow said and find a way to inform the Queen about the demons' appearance!"
She plucked a large leaf from the tree beside her and wrote some simple elven words on it. Then, she folded the leaf into the shape of a paper crane and used elven magic to give the paper crane the ability to move on its own.
After doing all this, the girl gently tossed the leaf crane into the air. "Go. Sorry for the trouble."
Watching as the paper crane disappeared into the woods, Selene took a deep breath and watched as the demon slowly revealed its true form from the smoke. "Now, it's up to me to see how long I can hold it off," she muttered.
