Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 201 - 195 It’s Time to Let Go of the Goddess

Chapter 201: Chapter 195 It’s Time to Let Go of the Goddess

As the meeting point of the Netherworld and the Endless Abyss, the Land of Darkness also bred a multitude of powerful monsters due to its chaotic laws.

Some were wretches from the Netherworld, fallen to this state. Others were creatures that accidentally wandered in and were eroded by shadows, losing their sanity in the process. Some were outright shadow monsters born naturally from the Land of Darkness…

However, compared to the numerous shadow creatures in the Land of Darkness, the first two were not many.

This was because the Land of Darkness was inherently remote and chaotic. Those who could mistakenly enter the place already had indescribable power, at least legendary, and were naturally rare.

Therefore, most of the shadow creatures in the Land of Darkness were native shadow monsters, the humanoid shadow creatures summoned by the Dark Believers to attack Black Rock City.

But… although few living or deceased beings mistakenly entered the Land of Darkness and fell to become shadow creatures, when there was one, it meant it was undoubtedly a powerhouse in the Land of Darkness!

For example… this shadow dragon that suddenly emerged!

In the Segis Universe, any monster associated with “dragon” should not be underestimated.

And this shadow dragon was actually a dragon whose soul had been eroded after mistakenly entering the Land of Darkness, eventually turned into a shadow creature dedicated to devouring and slaughtering!

The Dark Believers’ worst fear still came to pass.

Just as the summoning array was about to lose its effect, it truly drew this terrifying entity from the Land of Darkness!

This gigantic shadow dragon was over a hundred meters long, far surpassing adult dragons. Surprisingly, it was a fallen Ancient Giant Dragon!

Each Ancient Giant Dragon was at least at the pinnacle of legend, with the most powerful ones even reaching demigod level!

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from this shadow dragon, all the Dark Believers realized…

They were in deep trouble.

“Run!”

The leader of the Dark Believers didn’t hesitate, hastily issuing the order to his subordinates.

All the dark-dwelling dwarves who worshipped darkness instantly abandoned control of the summoning array and followed him, fleeing deeper into the Underworld…

As the Dark Believers fled, the summoning array, barely maintained, lost its stabilization and immediately fell apart.

But the shadow dragon merely cast a cold glance at them, its violent, chaotic eyes flickering with savagery and excitement.

“Roar—!”

It let out an ear-splitting roar, then took a deep inhaling breath in the direction the dwarves were escaping…

A formidable suction emerged, and the Dark Believers, in the midst of their escape, were instantly drawn back.

The stones and soil on the ground, plants in the Underground Forest, even the scattered shadow monsters were lifted by the terrifying suction, accompanied by the Dark Believers’ terrified screams, and transformed into a vortex, devoured by the shadow dragon…

In the blink of an eye, a semicircular void appeared in front of the shadow dragon!

The army of shadow creatures, without the control of the Dark Believers, plunged into chaos. Those farther away quickly fled, while those closer could only prostrate themselves on the ground under the shadow dragon’s pressure, trembling with fear…

And the shadow dragon, seemingly satisfied with what it had devoured, roared again proudly and began to consume the surrounding army of shadow creatures…

The magnificent army of shadow creatures crumbled in the shadow dragon’s presence like a doomed group of ants.

The chaotic yet grand sight left everyone in Black Rock City dumbfounded.

“What the hell!”

“What the hell!!”

Players were stunned watching the dragon-shaped creature rampaging in the distance.

“A dragon? This is huge! Compared to it, Mairrel is a Chihuahua!”

“Could it be a BOSS? How do we fight it?”

“Is it a black dragon covered in black smoke? Mairrel’s cousin?”

“Look! It’s devouring those shadow monsters!”

“Haha, could it be an ally?”

Hearing the players’ words, the Dwarf Temple Master had a serious expression,

“No… this is not an ally, nor is it a dragon…”

“The Book of Death has related records. This is a shadow creature formed after a dragon fell to the Land of Darkness, known as a shadow dragon!”

“Although called a shadow dragon, it is no different from those shadow creatures besieging us, entities that only know how to devour and kill!”

At this point, her voice carried a hint of bitterness and tremor,

“It… is even more troublesome than the shadow creatures besieging us. It only forcibly traversed space, consuming too much energy, which is why it’s devouring shadow creatures…”

“Once it recharges its strength, it’s likely to command the remaining shadow army and set its sights on us again…”

Shadow creatures inherited some traits from abyss creatures.

They also possess an intense appetite for devouring beings from the material realm…

Lighting up the Divine Arts defensive shield in Black Rock City was akin to a lighthouse in darkness and would undoubtedly soon draw the shadow dragon’s attention.

The Dwarf Temple Master’s words were quickly validated. The shadow dragon, having only taken a few bites, promptly raised its head and gazed toward Black Rock City.

Seeing the cold killing intent and the frenzied desire to devour contained within its murky pupils, everyone on the city wall felt a shiver down their spine…

Meanwhile, all the shadow monsters stopped their retreat, regaining their order as if they had received new commands…

“It has subdued these shadow monsters…”

For a moment, the Dwarf Temple Master looked pale.

Biting her teeth, she looked at the players,

“Where does your Teleportation Array lead?”

The players exchanged glances and replied,

“Rivendell.”

“Rivendell? The former Elf City… If I remember correctly, it belongs to the domain of the Queen of Caverns, it’s somewhat close, but we barely might make it,”

The Dwarf Temple Master muttered.

Finishing her words, she issued a command,

“Black Rock City cannot be defended anymore… Everyone, escape through the Teleportation Array quickly. If you’re lucky, you might escape unscathed…”

Yet, upon hearing her words, the players looked at each other,

“Escape? Are we surrendering?”

The Dwarf Temple Master showed an expression of despair,

“This… this is likely a shadow dragon with power nearing a demigod… not something we can resist…”

“Do you know… Eight hundred years ago, the human Magic Kingdom summoned a shadow dragon nearing demigod level at the peak of legend, which led to their annihilation. Over a million were massacred, allowing the Holy Maniya Empire to later emerge and become the strongest human nation…”

“And that shadow dragon was only brought down alongside the Pope of the Eternal Church using the Divine Descent Technique…”

“This time, Deep Rift Cave is likely to be destroyed, and nearby Elf Forests are likely to be ruined, so… escape while you can!”

The Dwarf Temple Master urged.

“Nearing a demigod? Pinnacle of legend?”

Hearing her, the players showed peculiar expressions.

“Do not underestimate the pinnacle of legend!”

The Dwarf Temple Master stressed solemnly,

“In an era where True Gods have returned, this is the pinnacle power in Segis World, capable of destruction on par with demigods!”

“Demigod level…”

The players’ reactions grew ever more bizarre.

But, to the Dwarf Temple Master’s confusion and bewilderment, after she mentioned the shadow dragon’s possible strength, these elves instead seemed… relieved?

What… was going on?

Were these elves stunned by her words?

Before she could ponder further, she overheard the elves talking, their words sending chills down her spine,

“Oh! So it’s just nearing a demigod! That means it’s not something we can fight…”

“Phew, I was worried about the mission before. Looks like we’ll have to go through the motions again.”

“Ahead of time, feel sorry for the BOSS…”

“Time to release the Goddess. Who’s going to find El to summon the Goddess’s incarnation?”

“El can’t do it; he can only summon once a month, and a new Divine Favored recently joined the faction. Little Xian Miao has already gone to find them.”

“Ah… feeling a bit sorry. The Goddess is going to one-hit again, you guys say if we could deliver the killing blow, how much experience would this demigod-level BOSS provide!”

“You’re dreaming; hurry up, before the plot moves on, kill as many shadow monsters as we can!”

After speaking, the players who intended to flee instead approached the re-advancing army of shadow monsters attacking Black Rock City and resumed fighting.

This time… their combat seemed much more urgent.

True God? Incarnation? Plot?

Listening to the players, the Dwarf Temple Master felt bewildered.

Soon, she realized that these elves possibly had a way to summon the power of a True God!

Could it be that mysterious True God, allied with Hela Crown, backing them?

Her mind filled with speculation…

Yet, before she could think further, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

The shadow dragon, massive in stature, suddenly took another deep breath and spat out a gray Dragon Breath towards Black Rock City!

The radius of this Dragon Breath was nearly ten meters, the aura overwhelmingly terrifying…

The cold, chaotic power instantly struck Black Rock City’s spell defense shield, shattering it!

Black Rock City was instantly exposed within the army of shadow creatures.

“Not good!”

The Dwarf Temple Master’s heart sank.

Just then, a crisp cold snort suddenly echoed in the cave,

“Hmph!”

A female elf in a black armor skirt slowly rose from above the Death God Temple…

As she ascended, her aura kept rising, with golden Divine Power surging around her. Faintly, a sacred silhouette enveloped in Holy Light appeared behind her.

The shadow dragon roared, aiming another giant breath at Black Rock City.

The floating female elf gently lifted her hand, and the blurred sacred figure behind her also raised its hand…

A gigantic phantom hand emerged smoothly, instantly blocking the Dragon Breath!

“Divine Possession!”

The Dwarf Temple Master’s eyes widened in disbelief.
