Traveling through the game world

"I am the dark elf Delar. Might makes right! Fight, humans!" Delar, seemingly formed from a thick, dark mist, possessed the same fanatical thirst for power as other dark elves. As soon as he finished speaking, arrows formed from dark energy shot towards Lian Yang and the others.

The Ghost Sword Technique, infused with the aura of blood and sword energy, was completely blocked by Lian Yang's dance, and Delar's arrows were all slashed away and dissipated.

"Let's fight!" The four purple sprites beside them were not to be outdone, waving their little hands and sending dark-attribute energy balls hurtling towards them.

"To my left."

"To my right."

Baron and Alice decisively divided the tasks, both becoming purple elves. However, because the concentration of magic in the Forgotten Forest is several times that of the outside world, the purple elves are not much weaker than the elf kings from the outside world.

Therefore, the strongest dark elf was given to Lian Yang, and then Baron and Alice each challenged two purple elves.

The dark elves' fighting style is extremely simple. As Lian Yang approached, a ball of dark energy suddenly shot out from the air. For dark elves, summoning dark elements to attack is instinctive.

"You really are a true power-hungry individual!" Lian Yang teased Delar as he dodged a near-miss attack from a dark energy blast.

"Triple Slash!"

With a loud shout, Lian Yang rushed in front of Delar and said calmly, "Actually, I am also a power-hungry person, but I believe I have greater power than you!"

"Inner Demon Sword Technique!"

Lian Yang's style is characterized by continuous and sharp attacks. The moment he gets close, he unleashes the fastest attack, the Reverse Ghost Sword Technique.

“Power is not simply about offense.” Delar, who should have dissipated, solidified again and said calmly, “If dodging attacks is also a form of power.”

Dark elemental arrows appeared suddenly again, launching a sharp attack. Delar's attacks were truly unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

But Lian Yang didn't care at all. Fighting was like dancing on a knife's edge; one wrong move and it was death. And the thrill of life and death was intoxicating to Lian Yang.

"Flowing Heart Leap!" His combat instincts had saved Lian Yang's life countless times, and this time was no exception. With a Flowing Heart Leap, he easily dodged Delar's arrow.

“You’re right, dodging is also a form of power, but…” Lian Yang returned to Delar’s ​​side and unleashed “Soul-Devouring Hand!” He grabbed Delar tightly in his hand.

"I think it's better to leave the enemy nowhere to hide!" Delar didn't have time to react. The twin swords, which had been released from their grip, danced wildly, using the Reverse Ghost Sword Technique.

The brief but magnificent battle came to an end, and in the very center of the open space, a pitch-black stone pillar slowly rose.

"Humans, your power is immense! I bless you!" Delar's voice echoed in the minds of Lian Yang and the other two.

Lian Yang opened the character panel and looked at the prompts on the panel:

Stamina increased by 50

Dark attribute enhancement +100

Dark resistance +100

Nodding, Lian Yang greeted, "The Dark Elves are dealt with. Your strength has improved quite a bit, hasn't it? Let's head to the next stop."

The buffs in the Forgotten Forest are all temporary, blessings bestowed by kind elves to help those they approve of as intruders.

They walked a short distance along the only path, and a second open space appeared before them.

Unsurprisingly, this was the territory of the fire sprites. Four fire squirrels and one fire sprite were quietly waiting for Lian Yang and the others to arrive.

Upon seeing Lian Yang and the others arrive, the Fire Sprite greeted them, "Humans, I am the Fire Sprite, and everyone calls me the Soul Devourer!"

Lian Yang nodded: "My name is Lian Yang."

"My name is Baron." Baron took down his greatsword.

"Alice! Leave this battle to me!" Flame is the gunner's friend, or rather, the source of the gunner's power. Whether it's a naked flamethrower, a cannon, an anti-tank gun, or even a laser cannon, they all essentially rely on flames to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

"Alright, I'll go left!"

"I'll go right!"

Lian Yang and Baron continued to assign combat tasks, and then handed over the main battle to Alice. As her comrades, they trusted Alice's abilities.

The Soul Devourer was in no hurry to attack, and said calmly, "Human girl, what is fire?"

The fact that the Soul Devourer wasn't attacking didn't mean Alice wouldn't. Her hand cannon transformed into a flamethrower, fiercely spewing scorching flames at the Soul Devourer. She shouted, "Flame is flame! There's no need for so much talk! I knew flame was an offensive force!"

Seeing the fierce flames coming at him, the Soul Devourer was not afraid. Suddenly, his body shone brightly, and a similarly thick flame met Alice's flames head-on.

“You’re right, fire is fire. I shouldn’t have given it too much. So let it burn!” Compared to the flames fired by Alice’s flamethrower, the flames of the Soul Eater were clearly purer.

Feeling her flames being suppressed, Alice couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a fire spirit! Releasing flames in front of you seems a bit like showing off my limited skills!"

"I truly have a strong liking for you, but the battle must continue!" The Soul Devourer is a spirit of fire, one of the purest flames in the world.

"Haha..." Alice suddenly burst into laughter and said, "The battle is over! Laser cannon!" In just an instant, Alice's flamethrower transformed into a laser cannon, the thick laser beam shattering the Soul Eater's flames and continuing its attack on its body.

The Soul Devourer vanished, and a fiery red stone pillar rose from the ground.

The Soul Eater's voice also resounded in everyone's ears: "What amazing flames, humans! I bless you!"

Sheathing his sword, Lian Yang nodded to Alice: "Well done, Alice! It seems we have a new buff."

Strength increased by 200

Fire attribute enhancement +100

Fire resistance +100

Looking at the powerful buffs on the panel, Baron laughed and said, "The dark elves say they worship power, but the fire elves' buffs give us power. How ridiculous."

The kind elf had no murderous intent, so the battle between Lian Yang and the other two might be intense, but it wasn't dangerous.

Continuing onward, the third obstacle appeared before them.

"It's so cold!" Baron, shirtless and clearly sensitive to temperature, remarked calmly, "This is probably an ice sprite. Leave it to me. Burning passion and a frigid ice sprite—the thought is truly exciting."

"Yes! I'm also looking forward to fighting you, human! I am the Ice Elf Ssuk." Sensing the arrival of Lian Yang and the others, Ssuk greeted them, seemingly more enthusiastic than the Fire Elf despite his coldness.

"The air is getting colder and colder!" Baron, shirtless, could clearly feel the air temperature drop by tens of degrees due to his sensitivity to temperature.

Lian Yang said, "This is probably the most difficult combat environment we've ever faced! It's so cold!"

"I don't want to be beautiful while freezing." Alice, who wasn't wearing much fabric either, unleashed a flamethrower as she spoke, seemingly more interested in keeping warm than fighting?

“Despite the low temperature, my blood seems to be surging!” Baron gripped his sword with both hands, staring intently at Ssuk.

"Ice Arrow Technique".

As a primordial spirit, its mastery of the elements is as instinctive as a human's ability to walk and eat. In an instant, the ice arrow shot out.

"Cross Slash!" Wielding the greatsword with blood energy, a massive crimson cross slashed at the azure ice arrow.

"Crash..." The cold ice arrows shattered like glass, scattering across the ground.

"Mountain-Shattering Strike." Having landed the first blow, the second followed immediately. Baron leaped high into the air and brought the blow down fiercely.

"Ding!" An ice shield instantly appeared above Ssuk's head.

Baron's sword, with its overwhelming momentum, is invincible.

Ssuker's shield is cold, hard, and indestructible.

The story of the spear and the shield has always been a subject of human inquiry.

"Ding, splash..."

Ssuker's shield shattered...

But Baron's sword never struck Ssuk, so it seemed that this duel between spear and shield was a draw? No, Baron lost.

"Drink!" Although Baron did not manage to attack Ssuk, Ssuk was still brought close by Baron.

"Rage erupts!" The energy of blood and Baron's rage surged from the ground, and in an instant, Ssuk was engulfed by Baron's rage.

The azure stone pillar slowly rose, signifying Baron's victory.

"Passionate humans, the battle you just fought truly inspires me. Accept my blessing!" Ssuk's voice rang out.

Intelligence increased by 200

Ice attribute enhancement +100

Ice resistance +100

Looking at the buff, Lian Yang couldn't help but laugh, "I think the Ice Spirit rewards Intelligence, but you, this bull, actually managed to push it away."

Baron blushed and hurriedly defended himself, saying, "This is what they mean by brute force overpowering skill!" Ever since he met Lian Yang, Lian Yang had been the one making the decisions and coming up with the ideas. Baron, who was already lazy, only took charge of fighting, which is how he earned the nickname "Bull".

"Pfft!" Alice couldn't help but laugh when she heard Baron actually defend himself. "Battles also require tactics. I guess that's a kind of wisdom, isn't it?"

"Exactly!" Alice offered a way out, and Baron readily accepted, saying, "Hurry up! There's only one last hurdle!"

Light Elf Territory

"Fight! I am the Fang of Retribution!"

The Light Elf, who sought revenge on Fang, was surprisingly impatient and wanted to start a fight as soon as they met.

“Three segments…” Lian Yang didn’t even finish the word “slash”.

"Crack!" A thick bolt of lightning struck him.

"This is a tricky idea. Alice, provide ranged support. Baron, you take charge of the Illusionary Spirits!" After their attack was thwarted, Lian Yang immediately changed tactics.

"Flowing Heart Leap!" Compared to the three-stage slash, although the Flowing Heart Leap has a slightly shorter dash distance, it is significantly faster due to its fewer movements.

"Reverse Ghost Sword Technique!" In a flash, Lian Yang, who had arrived in front of Fang of Retribution, used his most familiar Reverse Ghost Sword Technique.

"Crack!" The sword struck Revenge Fang's body, but at the same time, the electric current from Revenge Fang's body was also transmitted into Lian Yang's body.

The stinging pain felt like being torn apart by the fangs of a ferocious beast; the name "Revenge Fangs" was truly well-deserved. Enduring the excruciating pain, he drank Remy's Kiss. ​​Lian Yang roared, "Alice, I'll hold you back!"

"Roger that, laser cannon!" Ever since learning the laser cannon, it has become Alice's favorite skill. There's no other reason than that it's fast, powerful, and accurate, completely outclassing cannons and anti-tank guns.

"Bang!"

The laser, which had been striking silently, exploded with a loud bang upon hitting the Fang of Retribution. It seemed to be due to a collision between the electrodes.

"Well done! One more shot and it'll be gone!" Alice's laser cannon inflicted unexpected damage on Retribution Fang. It was clear that Retribution Fang, a pure energy entity, had shrunk to half its original size after Alice's single shot.

"Flowing Heart Leap!" The Flowing Heart Leap, executed with lightning speed, leaped forward in an instant;

"Crack!" A thick bolt of lightning struck Lian Yang, who was leaping in mid-air.

Electricity surged through his body, a tingling, excruciating pain spreading throughout. Lian Yang gritted his teeth: "I'll risk it!" He drank a bottle of Remy's Kiss, and his inner energy surged again, ignoring the lightning that struck again. Lian Yang stared at the lightning as he approached the Vengeful Fang.

"Rage Eruption!" It hit! Lian Yang's Rage Eruption struck the Vengeful Fang.

"Laser cannon!" Alice's laser cannon also accurately struck Retribution Fang at the same time.

Seeing the silvery-white stone pillar slowly rise, Lian Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Vengeful Fang was truly too powerful.

"Humans, your resilience amazes me, I bless you!"

Spirit increases by 50

Light attribute enhancement +100

Light resistance +100

"Humans, you have received the blessings of the four elemental spirits. We await you in the deepest part of the Forest of Oblivion..." Herik's voice echoed once more throughout the Forest of Oblivion...
