When Eleena reached the long neck of the tortoise colossus, it appeared to have recovered from the explosion and was slowly lifting its head. There was no telling how the old man who had entered the Faint Crystal Stratum was doing.
While the movement of the tortoise colossus's head was a little troublesome for Eleena as she ran, Eleena relied on her decent balance to barely make it past the neck and onto its head.
The tortoise colossus's head or forehead was actually quite spacious, and a closer look would reveal that it was a small platform that was deliberately left out during construction.
Considering that the high elves would not build a useless platform on the Elven SIN's simulator for no reason, there was a high chance that it was a control panel.
After noticing that, Eleena's heart leaped with joy as if she had seen hope.
"Totem pole and keyhole … I found it. Is this it?"
After a brief search, Eleena found the totem pole that Mufasa had mentioned.
There was also a ring of rhombus-shaped indentations on the pole. There were five of them, and they certainly looked like special keyholes.
However, Eleena realized that it was useless after experimenting. The key did not match any of the indentations, and she could not insert it no matter what she tried.
"Is it not here?"
Eleena began to search other parts of the platform, but could not find any place that looked like a keyhole.
At this moment, a chill caused her to shiver uncontrollably.
Even without using her eyes, she could guess where the chill came from.
The undead elf was slowly making its way over the tortoise colossus's neck. If one looked closely, they would notice that the HP bar above its head was missing a small section, while the undead elf's left wrist had a smooth fracture and was missing a palm.
Although the tortoise colossus's neck was still moving restlessly, the undead elf would freeze its feet into the ground with each step, only releasing the ice when it lifted its feet, allowing it to walk with unusual stability.
The thing had actually caught up so quickly. She did not expect that Mufasa, who was usually the strongest Player, could not stop it for long.
Eleena gritted her teeth and kept searching for places that might have a keyhole, while desperately turning her little brain in hopes of coming up with a solution.
It was a pity that the girl could not think of a solution even when the entire platform was filled with the enemy's spell-like abilities.
Even though he had put up a shield, half of his body was still frozen by the opponent.
"What a pity …"
The undead elf opened his mouth and spat out choppy words.
"You can talk?" Eleena was stunned.
Ever since this undead elf appeared, it had been acting like an undead creature that could only follow its instincts. Lin Li didn't expect it to be able to speak like an intelligent creature.
"That fellow … is quite powerful …" The undead elf appeared to be in awe, and it was only after a moment of bewilderment that she realized that it was referring to Mufasa. "Even after I froze him … an arm … a leg … he still managed to take my palm with him …"
"…"
Although Mufasa's words were laced with a sense of detachment, Eleena could still tell how desperate Mufasa had been. Even if he had lost an arm or a leg, he still managed to take away the undead elf's palm with a suicidal strike.
"I wanted to fuse with him … to show my respect … but after he died … his corpse disappeared … how regretful."
When she heard the undead elf's words, a nameless rage rose in her heart.
"Respect? Don't joke around. That's pure desecration of corpses! "
Even if Players didn't really die, desecration of corpses still left the girl who had personally witnessed the corpses of every villager piled up in front of her with immeasurable rage.
It was no wonder that necromancers were so unpopular. After all, not many would wish for their friends and family to be toyed with by others.
"Humans … are foolish … unable to understand … our sorrowful wish …"
The undead elf raised its hand, and the frost around the girl promptly rose like mushrooms after the rain, ready to drown her.
Even if she wasn't submerged, Eleena could see that her HP was rapidly dropping, and her shield didn't seem to be able to completely block out the bone-chilling cold.
If she wasn't a Player but a normal person, she would have been frozen stiff and unable to move.
"I can't be bothered with your sorrowful wish!"
Eleena resolved herself, knowing that she would die if she kept going.
Almost every first-rate Player who had rushed to Crookes had died in battle, and the battle had been unprecedentedly tragic.
Although Eleena was a Saintess-in-training by class, she never thought that she was different from other Players.
She would be dejected when the raid didn't go well, laugh with them during the banquets, and secretly wipe away her tears when she remembered the days when the village was destroyed.
"… This will be my last gamble! If I can't clear this event with everyone, then at the very least, I want to die like a player. "
The girl dispelled her shield, and when the ice outside began to spread inwards, climbing up her ankle, she whipped out the ancient key.
"Give me … that!" The undead elf suddenly became agitated.
But Eleena ignored it.
When she thought about it, she realized that her grandfather who gave her the key had left some clues.
While the old man was the mayor of Crookes and had activated the Faint Crystal Stratum of the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) and obtained the elven stone, he didn't show any extraordinary abilities. He wasn't an Extraordinary individual with special powers, showed no signs of using magic, and didn't have the presence of a high-ranking member of a church (in fact, Tyler Meredith's god of worship was the weaker Grimund, the God of Travel and Arts. Even his status as a high-ranking believer was bought with money after he became the mayor of Crookes).
If that was the case, how did the old man activate the Faint Crystal Stratum when he was still young?
Eleena would be the first to doubt that he had overcome the many obstacles and dangers of the entire Faint Crystal Stratum with his own ability.
And with that theory as a foundation, she could make a bold hypothesis.
What if activating the outer reaches of the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) and gaining control over the Faint Crystal Stratum was actually very simple?
Such as —
"Please, give me an answer!"
Something like a blood-bond.
Eleena stabbed the key viciously into her chest, and the ancient key began to suck her blood at once: Players don't bleed, but that doesn't mean they don't have blood.
[Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN): Faint Crystal Stratum activated]
[The profound power of the God of Games has halted external activities of the Elven SIN]
[New event, 'Elven SIN: Ancient Sins' officially begins]
[New Resurrection Point, Outer Platform of the Elven SIN has been established]
With a blue radiance that shot to the skies …
In that split second, the silhouettes of countless Players who had been resurrected through various items but couldn't make it here yet appeared behind the girl.
