Chapter 139 Elf Goddess
The Flame Speaker's encounter alarmed Ironjaw and Shadowfang.

Despite being on guard, they still encountered misfortune.

Following the Flame Speakers, they too may be killed!

Ironjaw and Shadowfang decided to follow Loren's advice and go to Sandstone Town to lay low for the night.

To be on the safe side, Loren led them directly into the Mirror of Reincarnation.

As long as their lives are safe, Gru's plan will not succeed so easily.

With Ironjaw and Shadowfang missing, Gru's only remaining target is Lilia.

Loren gradually gathered information about Gru.

[Gru is about to send people to release demon blood into the river near Sandstone Town. Residents who drink the demon blood will be controlled by demonic forces.]

Gru's plans have been thwarted, and he is about to lead his demon army to attack Sandstone Town.

Blood of the Demon God and the Demon Legion?
Loren originally thought that the power behind Gru was related to the Beast God.

Now it seems that it was the work of a demon god.

"Bai Xi, what do you know about the Demon God?"

"Reporting to Master, the Demon God is one of the primordial demons born in the Demon Realm. He was sealed away for violating the divine covenant. Is this incident related to him?"

"That's right. Gru manipulates the Orc King through the blood of the Demon God and also commands an army of demons. Do you have a way to resolve this crisis?"

Since Bai Xi had heard of the Demon God, she might be able to find a way to fight against it.

“Master, the Demon God is currently sealed. At most, he can only send out powerful demon subordinates or an avatar. Cold Frost and I together are enough to deal with him.”

After thinking for a moment, Loren immediately evacuated the residents of Sandstone Town and then took Lilia to the Frost Territory.

Gru is about to lead his demon army to invade, and his target is most likely Lilia.

Loren did not want a battle to break out in Sandstone.

The construction of Shashi Town took a long time, and rebuilding it would be very troublesome.

So he decided to take Lilia with him and move to the Frost Territory.

This place is sparsely populated, and even magical beasts are rare.

To be on the safe side, Loren evacuated the residents of Sandstone Town in advance, leaving Celia to guard Sandstone Town and prevent Gru's invasion.

After Loren took Lilia away, Gru indeed changed his plans.

He did not appear in Sandstone Town, but instead came to Frostlands.

After hiding for so long, he was finally going to fight Loren to the death.

Gru appeared alone before Loren and the others.

He had green skin, was taller and stronger than an average human, and had jet-black eyes; he looked more like a demon than an orc.

He glanced at Lilia, then turned his gaze to Loren.

"The disappearance of those two orc kings, was it your doing?"

"After hiding like a coward for so long, I thought you would always stay hidden."

Gru stared intently at Loren. "Hand her over along with those two orc kings, and I might spare your life."

He was referring to Lilia, of course.

Loren cannot hand over Lilia, so a battle between him and Gru is inevitable.

But where is Gru's demon army?
Loren scratched his head and looked at Bai Xi, signaling her to take action.

Bai Xi understood and slipped into the shadows.

But just as she approached Gru, a dark shadow appeared beside him.

It was a figure with an eerie aura, completely black, and its specific appearance could not be discerned.

Bai Xi hurriedly dodged away, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Immediately afterwards, magic circles appeared around Gru, and countless demons emerged from them.

Some of them were hunched over, resembling skinned human bats.

Some wielded giant axes and were engulfed in flames.

Some resemble spiders but have human heads.

They whispered incessantly, their hissing forming tangible sonic waves that stimulated Loren's nerves.

This is the demon army led by Gru.

Bai Xi returned to Loren's side, her gaze fixed on the initial dark figure. "Master, that dark figure has a very strong aura; it might be an avatar of the Demon God."

Loren nodded. "Leng Shuang, I'm asking you to fight that clone with Bai Xi."

"it is good."

Loren summoned dragon spirits to fight against the remaining demon army.

As for Gru, only Lilia can contend with him.

Lilia has just been promoted to the King level, so she is probably no match for Gru.

All she needs to do is stall Gru and wait for the Elf Queen's support.

Before Loren arrived in the Frost Territory, he had already informed Celucia of his plans, and Celucia would be there soon.

A melee ensued.

The shadowy figure unleashed endless darkness, enveloping the entire sky.

Bai Xi's figure flickered continuously, while Leng Shuang transformed into an ice dragon.

Loren couldn't see the battle scene clearly, but he could feel the various energy impacts.

Loren and the four dragon spirits continuously cast spells, and with the addition of Iceflame's Ice Dragon Breath, they were just enough to hold off the demon army.

Lilia unleashed the power of illusion.

She is now able to master this magical power.

Unfortunately, her domain power was no match for Gru, who was also a king-level being.

The situation remained deadlocked for the time being.

But unlike Gru, Loren had reinforcements!
Celia's appearance instantly changed the course of the battle.

She brought three dragon spirits to join the melee, and together with Bai Xi and Leng Shuang, they successfully forced back the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure was forced back, and Gru instantly lost his most powerful ally.

Panic appeared in his eyes.

"No! This shouldn't be happening! This isn't what we agreed on!"

Hearing Gru's shouts, Loren had a bad feeling.

"Quick, kill him!"

Before he finished speaking, the darkness in Gru's eyes grew even deeper.

Thick, black liquid flowed from his eye sockets, and an eerie aura spread out.

Gru kept letting out mournful cries.

Finally, his voice disappeared, leaving only a black vortex, from which a terrifying aura emanated.

Bai Xi's expression changed, and she immediately returned to Loren's side. "Master, we must leave here quickly, that's the aura of a demon god!"

"Demon?"

"That's right, it wants to break free of the seal!"

Loren hurriedly urged everyone to evacuate, only to find that everyone was grabbed by the dark shadows on the ground and unable to move.

Gru's invasion was just a ruse!
The demon god wanted to use everyone present as sacrifices to break free of the seal!
Loren felt his magic power rapidly draining away.

Not only him, but also Celia and Cold Frost felt the same way.

This won't do; they'll all become nourishment for the resurgence of the demon god!

At the critical moment, a burst of ice and snow erupted across the Frost Territory, tearing through the darkness and bringing light back to the land shrouded in shadow.

The ice and snow coalesced into a figure, and Mil appeared before Loren and the others, looking with great interest at the dark vortex gate.

"This guy really won't give up..."

She turned to Loren and said, "Sign a divine servant contract, and I'll save your lives. How about it?"

The current situation is not optimistic.

It wasn't just Loren who was captured by the shadowy figure.

Even Celia, Bai Xi, and Leng Shuang were unable to move.

The power of the demon god was too great; even in its sealed state, it could still easily restrain everyone present.

Now, only Mir can stand against the Demon God.

Loren couldn't understand why Mil insisted on signing a contract with him.

"Why does it have to be me?"

Mir smiled slightly, "Because I only have feelings for you."

Loren was speechless.

He guessed that Mil was probably after the divine power within him.

A white light appeared, and the Divine Servant Contract reappeared before Loren. This time, Loren had no choice.

Only by signing a contract can everyone present be saved.

Just as Loren was about to sign his name on the contract, he sensed a friendly aura, and a familiar figure appeared in the Frost Territory.

It was a woman with long, thin ears, transparent wings, and a face that was very similar to Celia's.

The moment she appeared, the restraints on Loren completely disappeared.

A surge of rich elven power erupted, shattering the dark vortex gate.

As the Vortex Gate was destroyed, Loren seemed to hear a desperate cry.

The woman's identity was obvious.

She is the legendary fairy goddess!
"Tch! What a spoilsport!" Mill looked somewhat displeased.

She almost managed to trick Loren into signing the contract, but then an elven goddess appeared out of nowhere.

Celucia bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The elven goddess is named Serune, and she was the first elf born between heaven and earth.

She once established an elven kingdom and entrusted it to Celucia for management.

Serusia learns of Gru's plan from Loren, and hears that it is related to the Demon God.

So before providing assistance, she contacted Serune through the goddess statue to prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring.

Serun's rescue was quite timely.

Neither the Demon God nor Mil could succeed in their plans.

She looked at Mir, a hint of doubt in her indifferent expression, "How did you end up here?"

Mil rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention, and instantly turned into ice and snow and disappeared.

Serun sensed the aura of the divine servant contract.

Her gaze lingered on Loren.

Was Mil just trying to make a contract with this human?

Huh?
The aura of divine essence?
And it's not just one divine essence!
Serun could tell at a glance that Loren's strength was not that great.

With such weak strength, how could they possibly obtain two divine essences?

Even stranger, Serun saw a contract on him.

The elven goddess's eyes held a strange look.

Turning back to Serusia, he asked, "You signed an elf contract with him?"

Celucia nodded. "Yes, he once saved my life."

Serun's expression was somewhat complicated.

A single act of saving her life is probably not enough to make Celia sign a contract.

There are probably other factors involved as well.

But as an elf, would Serucia really develop special feelings for humans?

While pondering, Loren approached Serun and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your help, Goddess."

Serun glanced at Loren calmly without saying a word.

This kid can attract the Demon God and also get the attention of the Ice and Snow Goddess, so he must be more than he looks.

Serun picked up the divine essence floating in mid-air and handed it to Serusia.

This is the divine essence within Gru.

Gru is dead, the Demon God's plan has failed, but the divine essence remains.

Celucia didn't rush to absorb it, but silently glanced at Loren and then put it away.

Serun didn't pay attention to these details.

"How is the Elf Kingdom doing lately?" Serun asked.

Celucia replied respectfully, "It's not bad. Goddess, you can come back with us for a tour."

Serun nodded slightly.

The goddess's lifespan is almost infinite.

Few things in the world could interest her.

In addition, due to the treaty between the gods that they could not participate in conflicts between different forces, she often spent long years in slumber.

He only shows up when faced with a major event like today, because of Seruccia's plea for help.

Serun was somewhat surprised when she returned to Sandstone Town.

She's only been asleep for a few hundred years, and the Elf Kingdom has already become like this?
Why is nobody here?

Loren quickly replied, "I was worried that the town's residents would be affected, so I arranged for their evacuation in advance. Things will return to normal in a couple of days."

Serun sensed Mil's presence in the town.

"The Ice and Snow Goddess has always lived in Sandstone Town?"

"Yes."

Serun was somewhat surprised.

This place must be pretty good for someone like the Ice and Snow Goddess to stay here long-term.

Having finally awakened, Serun decided to stay and see the changes in the elven kingdom.

"Please arrange a place for me to stay as well."

"Yes!"

Loren arranged for Serun to stay in Serusia's mansion.

This mansion is very large, enough to house many people.

After settling the elven goddess in, Loren returned to the Sandstone Castle.

Only then did my tense nerves relax.

He never expected the Elf Goddess to appear.

And the other person looks almost exactly like Celucia. What if I mistake them for someone else later?
"Your Majesty, why is the Elf Goddess appearing in the Frost Territory?"

“Things related to the Demon God should not be taken lightly. I have informed the Goddess in advance.”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise!"

If it weren't for Celusia's foresight, Loren would probably have had to sign a divine servant contract with Mil.

Although the specific effects of the Divine Servant Contract are unknown, it's probably not a good thing.

Celucia took out the divine essence and handed it to Loren, saying, "Here, take this divine essence."

Loren looked surprised. "Aren't you going to keep it for yourself to absorb?"

Celucia shook her head. "The improvement from one divine essence is limited. Since you have already absorbed two divine essences, then continue to absorb them. You might even have a chance to become a god."

Loren did not disappoint Celucia's kindness.

He remembered that there was a divine essence in the Flame Demon's territory.

If I absorb enough divine essence, I might really have a chance to become a god!

The problem with Gru has been solved.

Loren released Ironjaw and Shadowfang from the Mirror of Reincarnation.

Perhaps because they were in the Mirror of Reincarnation, their strength did not increase significantly after Gru's death.

On the contrary, Lilia's strength has improved considerably.

Including Lilia, the orc tribe now has only three orc kings left.

Moreover, large swathes of the orcish tribes' territory are undefended and could be invaded at any time.

The only good news is that with the Orc Kings falling one after another, Ironjaw and Shadowfang's strength has been enhanced.

Moreover, the overall combat strength of the remaining orcs has also increased significantly.

Before long, a new orc king will appear in the orc tribe.

But without a doubt, they no longer pose any threat to the Elf Kingdom.

Because of this incident, Loren's strength has greatly increased.

Aside from Loren obtaining the third divine essence, Lilia's improvement was the most significant.

Furthermore, with Loren having established a cooperative relationship with Ironjaw and Shadowfang, they are unlikely to clash with the Elven Kingdom again.

"Thank you, Lord Loren. We will always remember your kindness."

Iron jaw and shadow teeth have successively bid farewell.

The orcs are in chaos because of the orc king's disappearance, and they must return as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

Life in Shashi Town returned to its former tranquility.

The difference is that the town now has an elf goddess.
