Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong
Chapter 1655 Convergence and Progress
Looking at the resolute expression on Jasmine's fair face, Helena's confusion deepened, her heart already filled with despair.
Even at this point, this girl is still thinking about that human emperor? She even thinks he can come and save the three of them?
Regardless of whether the human emperor, whose strength is only at the half-step seventh level, is still alive, what use would it be even if he arrived in time? There are five demigods present; their arrival would only be a death sentence.
"Foolish thing, still clinging to a sliver of hope?"
The burly possessed creature, who was launching a frenzied attack, had clearly noticed Jasmine's expression and said with disdain and sneer, "Don't worry, I will turn you all into dust in no time."
Having said that, he raised his giant axe high, leaped up from the ground, and charged at Jasmine and the other two with overwhelming killing intent!
"Go ahead and be arrogant now, because when that guy comes, he won't let you get away with this!"
Jasmine gritted her teeth and activated the last seventh-tier defense scroll, causing a thick, gleaming barrier to instantly appear around the three of them.
boom!
After a deafening roar, the barrier that had been exuding an unshakeable aura was instantly cracked by the giant axe, clearly unable to hold out for long.
Even though the final barrier was about to crumble, the determination on Jasmine's face never faded.
"It's been so long since I've seen her, this girl has really changed a lot."
Looking at Jasmine's determined expression, Helena's initial panic gradually subsided.
She had always considered herself the older sister, but when faced with a crisis, it was Jasmine who was much calmer and more composed.
"It seems that the confidence this girl received was truly from that human emperor."
Thinking of this, even Helena couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart, looking forward to seeing Lei Xiao's figure.
But after only a moment, Helena shook her head slightly, erasing the thought from her mind.
After all, he was a powerful figure from a first-rate force, and a proud forest elf demigod. It was utterly absurd for him to expect someone from a second-rate force to save him.
"Three ants, their time to die has come."
In the blink of an eye, the burly possessed creature, like the Grim Reaper in the night, swung its giant axe and slashed fiercely at the three of them once again!
boom!
Another earth-shattering roar erupted, and the already crumbling barrier finally shattered. Amidst the scattering of countless magical fragments, the monstrous, malevolent crystal cluster's face appeared even more ferocious.
"An ant is still just an ant no matter how hard it struggles, just die!"
The burly, possessed creature swung its giant axe, bringing immense force as it cleaved down towards the three of them once more!
"Uh!"
In this extremely critical moment, Helena tried her best to swing her sword to block, but she only coughed up a mouthful of blood and could only barely protect Jasmine.
The stone spirit, barely breathing, struggled to get up, its eyes filled with despair.
Only Jasmine remained steadfast, yet she too involuntarily closed her eyes.
boom!
A third earth-shattering roar echoed through the alley. When Jasmine opened her eyes, she found a slender, tall figure holding a sword blocking their way!
"It's Sister Anna!"
Jasmine recognized the figure in front of her at a glance, her fair face filled with excitement.
"When did this girl gain another older sister?"
While Helena felt a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal, a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
She had seen it clearly: just as the burly possessor was about to succeed, this slender figure in gray robes emerged from the shadows like a ghost, and with a single blow, sent the bear-like opponent back several steps.
Judging from the imposing aura emanating from her, she is clearly a demigod, and both her speed and strength surpass her own, making her a peak demigod at the first star level.
"Jasmine, are you alright?"
Anna turned her head slightly and said to Jasmine with concern, "Fortunately, His Majesty confirmed your location in time, which is why I was able to arrive in time."
"I knew that guy would come to save us!"
Jasmine shook the antique bracelet on her fair wrist and chuckled.
This bracelet was also given to her by Lei Xiao. It is inlaid with a resonance gem that can locate the wearer's position in real time.
"The 'Your Majesty' she speaks of is the Human Emperor? Could she be a powerful figure under the Human Emperor's command?"
Helena witnessed this scene, and her eyes involuntarily filled with disbelief.
Demigods are the symbol of first-rate powers. The human emperor is, after all, just the monarch of a second-rate power. How could he have the loyalty of a demigod?
Furthermore, judging from the actions of this demigod as he emerged from the shadows, he is clearly a powerful dark elf.
Before Helena could react, Anna's longsword blazed with holy light, and she was already locked in fierce combat with the burly possessed creature.
Helena was completely dumbfounded.
She had initially thought Anna was a powerful dark elf, but now the latter was wielding the Holy Light Sword, a signature move of the light elves!
"A mere demigod dares to present himself as a hero before me?"
Despite being beaten so badly by Anna that he could barely lift his head, the burly possessed creature still had a ferocious expression on its face and calmly said, "Don't forget that I still have four demigods here with me!"
Just as the burly possessed creature was speaking, the remaining possessed creatures, laughing wildly, brandished their blades and attacked Jasmine, her two companions, and Anna.
"Who said she's alone?"
A steady and powerful voice rang out, and Lei Xiao's figure appeared at the alley entrance.
The next second, the powerful dark elves, led by Jane, emerged from the shadows of the hostages, while the powerful light elves, including Lorik, flew out from behind Lei Xiao and rushed straight towards their opponents.
Because Lei Xiao and his group appeared too suddenly, especially the powerful dark elves like Zhen, they directly attacked at point-blank range before their opponents could even react, causing crystal clusters to fly wildly throughout the alley and the sound of energy collisions to resound throughout the heavens and earth.
Caught off guard, the hostages initially thought that Zhen and the others, who were not holders of the [God Stone], could not harm them, so they were not too panicked. It wasn't until they saw some hostages being wiped out on the spot that they completely panicked and lost their previous arrogance and recklessness.
boom! boom! boom!
As the fierce battle in the alley intensified, the surrounding buildings were reduced to ruins, and the alley quickly became a wide-open expanse of broken walls and rubble.
With Lei Xiao's power boost, and the swift attacks of Jane and Lorik and other powerful elves, these possessed creatures quickly fell to the ground screaming in agony, turning into puddles of foul-smelling mud.
You must understand that we have a full eleven demigods, while the other side only has five demigods, and the difference in the number of half-step seventh-tier experts is several times greater. Our advantage is self-evident.
It didn't take long for the entire battlefield to fall completely silent.
"Your Majesty, all the opponents have been eliminated."
Anna bowed with her hand on her chest and reported to Lei Xiao.
Not far behind her was the remains of the burly, possessed creature from before, rapidly turning into a foul-smelling, rotten mass.
"Your Majesty, not a single enemy has escaped from here."
Jane and Lorik, the two leading elven warriors, also reported their findings and nodded to Lei Xiao.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Keep a close watch on the surrounding area, and have the scouts search for any other survivors."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then gave instructions to everyone.
Watching everyone reporting to Lei Xiao while Lei Xiao was giving orders, Helena's red lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief.
All of this happened so suddenly that it wasn't until the battle was over that she belatedly realized that it was indeed the human emperor who had led the people to save them!
What Helena found even more unbelievable was that Jane, representing the dark elves, and Lorik, representing the light elves, and other powerful elves, all seemed to be following Lei Xiao's lead. This was simply incomprehensible!
Not long ago, these light elves and dark elves were all unruly and arrogant. How could they now obey the orders of the human emperor?
Furthermore, none of them seem to be holders of the [God Stone], so how did they manage to harm those possessed beings?
Just as Helena's mind was filled with shock and confusion, Lei Xiao had already led his group to stand in front of them.
"I knew you would come!"
Jasmine practically jumped into Lei Xiao's arms, looking overjoyed.
"Of course I will come."
Lei Xiao smiled and patted Jasmine's head, then looked her up and down, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's just some minor injury, I'm very resilient!"
Jasmine patted her chest, then looked at Helena and the stone elf, frowning as she said, "It's just that their injuries are quite serious."
Before Jasmine could finish speaking, Helena struggled to her feet and said to Lei Xiao with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
"You don't need to be so polite. You are Jasmine's older sister, not an outsider."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling Helena to continue resting, and then instructed Anna, "Help her recover as much as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, healing is also one of my strengths."
Without hesitation, Anna's palm rippled with gentle life force as she immediately bent down to heal Helena.
Jinghong and Xuanji also approached the stone spirit and began to help it recover as quickly as possible.
Stone spirits possess a unique healing method, which, combined with Lei Xiao's power and the blessing of divine favor, can be brought to its fullest potential.
Before long, Helena and the stone elf's pale faces became noticeably rosier, clearly indicating that they had recovered somewhat.
"Time is of the essence; we must meet up with the other guests."
Lei Xiao nodded to Helena and said, "Your injuries have not fully recovered yet, so you can stay here for now."
"Your Majesty need not worry about us; the forest elves are not so easily defeated."
Helena quickly shook her head and pleaded with Lei Xiao, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please allow us to travel with the group!"
"That's good. More people means more strength, and Jasmine can feel more at ease."
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's not delay, let's set off immediately."
"I will obey His Majesty the Human Race!"
Helena nodded emphatically and said without hesitation.
Originally, she was too proud to obey Lei Xiao's orders, but not only did the latter save her and Jasmine's lives, the other powerful elves also obeyed Lei Xiao's orders without question, so what reason did she have to be different?
Moreover, despite still having many questions in her mind, Lei Xiao's calm and composed demeanor when facing the possessed creature left a deep impression on her. This was something that many powerful elves could not do, let alone calmly and collectedly command the group.
"Sir, is there any way to contact the other forest spirits in the vicinity?"
While reorganizing the formation, Lei Xiao asked Helena a question.
"Your Majesty, the magical interference here is extremely severe, but if one gets close enough, I can still sense some of it."
Helena composed herself and truthfully responded to Lei Xiao.
"This is much better than searching blindly, so I'll trouble you then."
After saying that, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and all the powerful figures flew out and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
During her journey, Helena learned about Lei Xiao's group's movements through conversations with Jane and Rorek.
"I never expected that His Majesty the Human Race would lead everyone to defeat those ambushing parasites and their reinforcements right from the start."
Helena's fair face was filled with amazement, and her respect for Lei Xiao grew even stronger.
These self-important forest spirits were actually scattered and ran away during the attacks of the possessed creatures, which shows the difference in their abilities.
What Helena found even more incredible was that Lei Xiao was actually able to share the power to fight against "Erosion," something that only highly respected elven elders could do!
Moreover, Lei Xiao promptly removed the barrier, which allowed him to finally lead the group to this area; otherwise, they would have already perished at the hands of the possessed beings.
As for the breeding grounds of "Erosion" discovered during this process, Helena was so shocked that she couldn't think straight.
The only thing she was certain of was that if she were in Lei Xiao's position, she wouldn't be able to survive any of these situations, let alone solve them.
"No wonder Jasmine keeps talking about His Majesty the Human Race. His Majesty the Human Race is indeed quite extraordinary."
Helena gazed at Lei Xiao's tall and straight back, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
If this had happened before she entered the Shadow Market, she would never have imagined that she would be following behind a human monarch and obeying his orders. But the situation is special now, and this is undoubtedly the most correct thing to do.
Just as Helena was thinking this, her expression sharpened, clearly sensing something. (End of Chapter)
