Chapter 965

Even now, there were still countless pairs of eyes watching from all around the Elven Hometown.

They were the magical lifeforms that stayed behind in Tagore Forest. They were the minions of the newborn [Primordial Demon], or rather, they were Danas's servants. They were constantly monitoring the entire elven homeland for Danas and relaying news at any time.

It was useless to destroy them.

Even if one group was eliminated, another group would quickly appear and take their place.

As magical lifeforms, as long as they had enough materials, they could create as many as they wanted with Danas' attainments in creating magic.

The Primordial Demon's foundation was so deep that it was impossible for Danas, who had inherited everything, to exhaust the army of magical beings under his control in a short period of time was impossible no matter how much he squandered it.

If it wasn't for the fact that the barrier around the elven homeland had already been repaired by Nadula, and that outsiders couldn't enter without the elven race's permission, perhaps they would have organized wave after wave of invasions and harassment, causing the elves to become exhausted from dealing with them, making it impossible for them to rebuild their homeland.

With such a group of spies around, even the slightest movement in the elven homeland would be discovered immediately and taken measures, right?

Thus, Sophie could not even send out reinforcements or search for Caroline and the others. All she could do was wait here anxiously.

"Could something have happened?"

Sophie could not help but worry.

"Don't worry too much. Maybe they're just worried about how to get in without being noticed." Nadia comforted Sophie.

When Caroline and the others left, the countless magical beings in the surroundings must have sensed them.

However, although Caroline was the vice-captain of the elven corps, she had not yet reached the legendary rank. Even if there was a reaction, it was unlikely that the other side would send too many people to deal with them.

In that case, with Caroline's group's strength, it would not be too difficult for them to escape unscathed before they could react.

However, it would not be so easy for them to return.

There were so many spies in the surroundings. Once they discovered that Caroline and the others had returned, they would definitely stop them and even surround them.

This was especially true if Caroline and the others returned with the stone slabs on them. If they were discovered, they would likely be attacked without regard for anything else.

Since that was the case, Caroline and the others might have already returned and were just worrying about how to return to the elven homeland.

"Let's hope so." Sophie sighed, then turned to Nadula, and said, "If you're fine, with your power, it should be easy for you to monitor the entire Tagore Forest and receive Caroline and the others at any time."

As long as Nadura used her power and became one with nature, not only would she be able to monitor the entirety of Tagore's Forest, but she could even guide Caroline and the others to their safe return.

It was a pity that Naduna's current condition was not that good.

"Of course, I didn't expect Danula to have such means. Nadura smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, it's just that part of my power has been sealed, and I can't transform into nature itself for the time being. Artemis's situation is more serious."

Hearing this, Sophie's face of of of of worry.

In the battle with Danas and the others, both Artemis and Nadia suffered a great loss.

As soon as Nadura came up, she was suppressed by the demon power that suddenly erupted from Danas, and a part of the power of her authority was unexpectedly sealed by the other party. Artemis was even sneak attacked by the Necromancer who was hiding in the dark and was directly seriously injured.

Nadula was suppressed by Danula's sudden burst of demonic power, and part of her power was unexpectedly sealed by the other party. Attitemis was ambushed by the Necromancer hidden in the dark and was seriously injured.

Now, even though it had been almost a month since the battle, Attitemis's condition was still not very good.

In terms of injuries, Attitemis had basically recovered.

As the highest goddess, Attitemis' vitality and recovery ability were still very strong. With abundant healing, as long as it was not a special situation, she could generally recover quickly.

The problem was that in addition to her injuries, Attitemis was also entangled by other troubles.

"Has the death energy in Goddess Attitemis' body not been dispelled yet?"

Sophie mentioned this matter.

That's right.

Attitemis' body was invaded by the death energy.

When she was ambushed and seriously injured by the concubine, a large amount of death energy poured into Attitemis' body and had been entangling her.

This was not a trivial matter.

One had to know that the death energy was the absolute nemesis of life energy. It could absorb all vitality and corrode all living beings in the world.

As long as one was touched by the death energy, a little carelessness would turn them into a dry corpse.

Generally speaking, there was only one outcome when the body was invaded by the death energy.

That was to be corroded from the inside and turn into a set of bones.

Although Attitemis used extraordinary strength and the authority of Justice to suppress the erosion of the death energy, there was no way to expel the death energy.

"I don't know if it's because the Necromancer has transcended, but her death energy is not only terrifying in quantity, but also amazing in quality. It has even undergone some kind of qualitative change. I don't know if it's because it was specially refined, or because of the effect of the Lustrous Branch left in the world by the Mother Goddess."

Nadula lowered her eyes.

"Because of this, the death energy is very difficult to deal with. Even the highest-level purification magic of the holy system has no effect on it. It can only be suppressed so that it does not erupt."

What was certain was that if it weren't for the fact that Attitemis' power was not below that of the Necromancer, her body would have long been eroded by the death energy.

Now, Attitemis could still suppress the death energy in her body, proving that the death energy could not do anything to her for a while.

But …

"In her current state, once she consumes too much power, the death energy in her body will definitely erupt, right?" Nadula's face was also covered with a layer of haze. She said, "If there is a battle, it will be fine if she doesn't use her full strength. If she uses her full strength, Attitemis will not be able to fight for too long."

"… Is that so?" Sophie said in a deep voice, "Even the almost omnipotent goddess Lidas and the unparalleled goddess Anima in life healing are helpless?"

"Yes." Nadula said with some bitterness, "After all, Nadula's authority is not effective against the power of the Demon King and the Supreme God. It is almost useless against the death energy of the Necromancer who achieved transcendence with the help of the secret treasure left by the Mother Goddess. Anima's treatment is based on life itself and requires a large amount of life force. If we do this, I'm afraid that not only will it not be able to dispel the death energy, it will also strengthen it."

Absorbing life force and transforming it into the opposite, negative death energy was the characteristic of death energy and necromancy.

In view of this, Anima's treatment would not only bring no benefits to Artemis, but it might even kill her.

The death energy in Attitemis' body could only be dispelled through purification.

But ordinary holy magic was ineffective against this transcendent and metamorphosed death energy.

In this way, there were only two methods that could be thought of.

"Either the Mother Goddess personally takes action, or we have to use the holy sword of the Hero to purify this evil."

This was the only way that two of the three goddesses, including Lidas and Anima, could think of.

The former was naturally needless to say. With the omnipotent goddess taking action, dispelling this level of death energy was simply a piece of cake.

As for the latter, the holy sword of the Hero was the nemesis of all evil. Even if the Demon King's heart was pierced, he would only die. Even without transcendence, the holy power of the sword could purify a mere death energy.

"In other words, we can only wait until the situation in the capital stabilizes, until His Excellency Shien or Her Royal Highness Rosie no longer needs to stay in the capital, then we can come to help Goddess Attitemis dispel the death energy?"

Sophie said so.

"That's right." Nadula nodded and said, "We can't leave the elven homeland for the time being, so we can only wait for them to come."

"Do those two know about the situation of Goddess Attitemis?" Sophie asked.

"No, Attitemis asked Lidas and Anima not to tell them." Nadula sighed and said, "That child's sense of justice is too strong. She is not willing to let those two leave the capital, where they need them, just to come here to help her because of her own matters."

This was something that Attitemis, as the goddess of justice, was not willing to compromise. Even the three goddesses could not do anything about it and could only accommodate her.

Fortunately …

"The situation in the capital has basically stabilized, and Lidas and Anima are also planning to recover the dwarves. They have already mentioned in their contact yesterday that they have given some guidance to Shien so that he can come to the elven homeland in person soon."

Nadula revealed a rare piece of good news.

"When he comes, not only the death energy in Attitemis' body, but also the seal on me can be cut off with the holy sword."

At that time, both the goddess of nature and the goddess of justice can be restored to their heyday.

Even …

"The curse in your body, you can actually ask Shien to help solve it." Nadula said softly to Sophie, "You didn't know he was a Hero before, so you didn't ask him for help. Now you should be able to ask him to help you, right?"

Nadula's words made Sophie press her chest, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Due to the dispute between the elves and the demon spirits, in order to completely prevent the birth of demon spirits, Sophie sacrificed herself and absorbed the curse of the birthplace of demon spirits into her body. As a result, as a royal elf, not only could she not receive the blessing of the goddess of nature, but she could also no longer use her unique skills.

Those curses were also related to the magic left by the Demon King.

Thanks to this, no one could do anything about the curse in Sophie's body.

Only the Hero's holy sword could remove the curse in Sophie's body.

If it could be done, then Sophie would be able to use her unique skills again, and she would also have a chance to receive Nadula's blessing again.

That way, Sophie's strength would not be any weaker than Merica's. It was even possible that because she had more combat experience than Merica, her strength would be superior to Merica, who had the staff of nature.

Nadula seemed to be looking forward to this.

"What the Hero Mithra couldn't do, Shien might have a way to do it."

Nadula said softly.

"He is very special, even more special than Mithra. Even the blessing of the goddess appeared on him. I believe that he must have a way to help you get rid of the curse."

Listening to Nadula's words and feeling the anticipation in Nadula's words, Sophie was silent.

She was not without expectations.

It was just that …

"Sigh …"

With a faint sigh, Sophie did not say anything else.

Nadula was also worried that going too far would be as bad as not going far enough, so she did not mention this matter again.

The two fell into silence.

Until …

"Hmm?"

At a certain moment, a black shadow came from the other side of the sky, startling the Elf Queen and the goddess of nature.

"Roar!"

A dragon roar came from afar.
