Blood Elf Monarch - Chapter 386: Caves

BANG!

Tristan and Kolvar, who he carried, tumbled into a cave hidden under the ruins of pillars. It was an imperfect landing that made both of them thrown and hit the hard wall of the cave.

However, not a split second later, it was Queen Leena’s and King Ivaasar’s turn to sink into the cave following Tristan. They didn’t get thrown off because Queen Leena was quite stable in flying using her shadow mode carrying her husband, who had just been hit by a [world serpent toxic] attack, just like Kolvar.

Tristan helped Queen Leena carry King Ivaasar’s body to the corner of the cave, close to Kolvar, who was leaning against the cave wall.

Then he looked at the place carefully.

The cave was large enough, the size of an ordinary cave. At first glance, it looked like a snake nest that had been neglected for a long time.

Each side was made of soil that looked perfectly solid.

It was just that some debris began to fall from the top of the cave ceiling as the giant monsters started banging their bodies in front of the only entrance and exit of the cave. The scent of the hiding elves still wafted through their keen senses.

They were really trapped, while Kolvar’s condition was getting worse. He began to lose consciousness slowly.

The world serpent toxin was very quickly absorbed into the body of the elf that was hit by the attack. Through the narrow pores along the skin, the poison entered the body and disrupted Elve’s circulatory system, making it feel like it was burning from the inside.

“Help me take this off,” King Ivaasar struggled to remove his armour one by one. Just like Kolvar did, taking off all their clothes as if it could help them reduce the burning sensation in their souls.

Tristan crouched down in front of his two injured comrades and tried to observe what had really happened to the two elves.

Their skin slowly looked reddish, like a blister. And he had absolutely no idea what was really going on inside that body.

“What can I do to stop it?”

Queen Leena had used various types of healing spells that she knew to try to ease the pain that was being experienced by her husband, but to no avail, his condition was not improving at all and was getting worse and worse.

“I’ve mentioned it before, Leena. Nothing can cure this poison. This poison attacks our souls, not the immortal bodies of the elves,” explained the king. The Elve held the hand of his wife. And Leena had started to cry and could not accept the reality.

King Ivaasar told how the former king of arcadian got the same attack. The world serpent toxin covered his body in one second, and then the next few seconds it was completely absorbed through his skin.

Despite being able to bring his body back to the treehouse, the late king only lasted 6 hours before his body was slowly eroded. He shrunk until the skin was perfectly attached to the bone, and then the bone melted as if a thick acid poured on it.

King Ivaasar had tried various healing methods to save the king. But in the end, all was in vain.

Hearing her husband’s story, Queen Leena became increasingly desperate.

“Leave me here. Blood elf, you must take Leena away from this place safely.” King Ivaasar made a request that sounded like the last request before death came to him.

“No. Do not talk like that. I don’t want to. I won’t leave here without you. Serene needs you. I need you.”

Queen Leena was getting hysterical in her tears.

Tristan didn’t know what to do now. He knew the queen, he was sure that Queen Leena would not agree to the plan.

Besides, how could Tristan get out of the cave? And get past the three monsters that were waiting for him out there?

Tristan stood up and walked away. He had one thing he had wanted to try for a long time. However, to do so, the elves had better not know.

He again took out the blood bottle he had used to store one soul of the dark elve elder. He knew that King Vizier would be furious if he did something to one of his people.

However, circumstances had forced him. He had no other choice.

Very carefully, Tristan opened the cap of the bottle and let out the light that was inside.

The light from the spirit soul that had been released from the bottle then flew through the air, moving from place to place. However, before the soul flew out of range, Tristan immediately synthesized a new cage to trap the soul.

Next, Tristan’s hand moved to catch the soul. Grasping it, brought his skin into contact with the soul until a new notification popped up in his head.

[Soul Extraction]

[One rank 2 elven soul found]

[Proceed in extracting the soul?]

One rank 2 elven soul? The last time Tristan absorbed a rank 1 spirit soul. With a higher rank, he wondered what his body could receive after extracting the soul now?

“Yes.”

Tristan could hear a painful scream from the soul of the dark elve elder.

A scream that felt very close to his ears, as if the elve was screaming right into his ears. The screams hinted at pain and despair. Tristan had known that something like this would happen.

The feeling of near-death or even the experience of facing death felt by the soul he was absorbing could also be felt by Tristan.

In the next second, he heard the sound of water bubbles and a roar that he recognized as the last sound of the demonic wyrm that tore the dark elve elder’s body apart until his spirit soul left his body.

Tristan suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to throw up his stomach contents. However, at the same time, Tristan opened his eyes and realized that he was already in a different place. And a faint voice sounded as if calling his name from a distance.

[Spirit souls 4/10]
