Chapter 288

    “Scaled Demon? God of Despair?”


    yers were left bewildered by the elves’ words.


    Selena gritted her teeth and said,


    “It’s an evil god that appeared near Maple Leaf Territory in recent years. It ims to be the God of Despair, who delight itself in leading other beings into despair and transforming them into terrifying monsters, which are these Scaled Demons.”


    “It managed to deceive one of ourpanions before, causing them to be corrupted and fall into despair. This ultimately allowed the Borderlord of Maple Leaf Territory to take advantage of the situation, leading to the destruction of our stronghold.”


    “Evil god?”


    Upon hearing this particr term, the yers felt a subtle shift within their hearts, remembering the quest the goddess have given them.


    Meryer’s eyes also nted into a subtle squint.


    “An Evil God? I smell a scent that I despise.”


    The ck dragon bared his teeth and said with a tone full of contempt.


    The strange creature referred to as the Scaled Demon of Despair exuded an ominous aura that grew more intense with every passing moment since it emerged.


    Thereupon, as it underwent transformation, the demon’s strength also surged and only came to a halt upon reaching Peak Silver-rank.


    By now, the overwhelming pressure it emanated caused an unexpected shudder among the yers and even Meryer’s eyes shifted to a more serious expression.


    Feeling the malevolent and dark aura of the grotesque monster, and the pressure that seemed to directly permeate through their bodies, Demacia, who had already jumped off the dragon’s back, shivered and muttered to himself,


    “Ugh…this pressure, why does it feel somewhat familiar?”


    Beside him, Li Mu nced at the demon’s pitch-ck scales with a look of uncertainty.


    “Its pressure feels somewhat simr to Meryer when he’s angry.”


    “Damn! Oh yeah, it does really felt like that!”


    Demacia widened his eyes, then along with the other yers, couldn’t help but look towards the ck dragon.


    “Humph! Nonsense!”


    Meryer’s snarl echoed, followed by a thunderous roar as he advanced forward and charged at the Scaled Demon.


    In an instant, a dragon and a demon locked themselves in a ferocious battle.


    Yet, as their sh progressed, an unforeseen development suddenly urred.


    yers were horrified to discover that, after Meryer engaged into closebat with the demon, several tendrils of ck energy began streaming relentlessly from the grotesque creature towards him!


    Moreover, as this ck energy gradually encroached the dragon, Meryer too began to disy a growing restlessness, mirroring the enemy he was fighting with.


    Meryer’s eyes slowly turned red, as his breathing became more and more intense, whilst his expression became even more ferocious as if he sumbed into a berserk state.


    Eventually as their fight continued, the majestic aura surrounding the ck dragon began to exhibit signs of chaos.


    “Wait… this doesn’t seem right…”


    “Is the little ck dragon being corrupted by the opponent?”


    Some yers began to notice that something was wrong.


    Little Salty Cat’s expression changed.


    “Meryer, quickly get away from that guy!”


    However, the ck dragon appeared to have already forsaken reason, merely unleashing instinctual roars and persisting in his mindless rampage against the demon.


    The berserk state that Meryer was in only further heightened the intensity of their battle, and with each sh, the dragon’s once majestic aura keeps being eroded as it increasingly exhibited signs of chaos.


    By now, even the least perceptive yers could discern that the ck dragon was sumbing to the sinister influence of his adversary’s malevolent power!


    “Meryer!”


    They wholly felt anxious as this kind of situation never happened before.


    The air was thick with uncertainty, and a sense of unease permeated their surroundings.


    However, just as the yers were on the verge of intervening with the conflict, a soft, holy light suddenly emanated from Meryer’s body, catching everyone by surprise.


    [Purification…]


    A faint yet resonant voice, divine and solemn, echoed through the vicinity.


    While stunned at first, the yers soon erupted into expressions of joy:


    “It’s the voice of the goddess!”


    “Haha! The goddess has intervened!”


    “I knew it! If I remember correctly, the goddess adopted Meryer as her pet. Of course, there’s no way she would let him be corrupted!”


    Meanwhile, the rescued elves wore expressions of confusion after hearing what the yers were moring about.


    “Voice of…the goddess?”


    They too heard the majestic feminine voice, but the elves led by Selena only disyed looks of uncertainty, as this whole series of events happened too fast for their minds to catch on.


    Like the sunlight breaking through winter’s grasp or the long-awaited rain quenching the earth’s thirst, an ethereal hymn apanied the emergence of the radiant light, as it softly wrapped the ck dragon in its divine brilliance.


    A potent divine aura, teeming with the essence of life, then began to spread, as it bestowed immediate rity upon all who brushed against its ethereal touch.


    Simultaneously, the expanding aura also restored everyone’s physical wounds and weariness in a swift, miraculous manner.


    Verdant nts immediately sprang forth wherever the divine aura touched upon, as fresh patches of flowers unfurled one after another in a dazzling disy of vibrancy.


    On the other hand, the originally clouded eyes of the ck dragon’s gradually cleared out but most notably, the Scaled Demon standing on the opposite side began to tremble akin to ice encountering mes.


    Pulsating tumors manifested across the demon’s body once more, but the evil aura it exudes began churning with an audible sizzle.


    Momentster, the Scaled Demon let out a painful howl before its entire body suddenly copsed, and its ck scales shattered one after another, which gradually turned into ashes.


    Its massive body then began to melted away, as ity onto the ground in a heap of mangled ck flesh.


    Yet even in death, the ck flesh persisted in squirming until it ultimately dissipated into nothingness, after being bathed in the illumination of the expanding divine light.


    With the corrupted demon now gone, eventually, everything returned back to a state of calmness.


    Thend, which had been ravaged in the aftermath of the battle, swiftly transformed into a blossomingndscape, with flowers and greenery concealing the recent damage it had incurred.


    Watching this seemingly miraculous scene, whilst still feeling a certain familiar power contained within the recent divine light, the initially bewildered elves finally realized what was happening and could barely contained their excitement.


    “T-This power… this power is…”


    “It’s…without a doubt the essence of life! T-This is the power of the Divine Matriarch!”


    An elderly elf said excitedly.


    After speaking, the rest of the rescued elves also began to kneel down one after another, with each one showing utmost reverence towards the newly grown flowers and greenery.


    Selena, on the other hand, could do nothing but simply widen her eyes.


    She instinctively covered her mouth, unbelievably looking at the blossomingndscape teeming with life, as she observed the lingering light green particles still hovering within the air.


    The Oakhand leader cycled through myriads of expressions such as fear, anticipation, and awe as her entire body began to tremble uncontrobly in pure excitement.


    “T-This is—”


    “This is the power of our Divine Matriarch.”


    A gentle female voice sofly interjected.


    Selena instinctively spun around and noticed a tall slender figure draped in clerical vestments slowly approaching her.


    Adorned with long, straight golden locks, captivating emerald eyes, and delicate features for which perpetually emanated a gentle expression, the neer greeted the Oakhand leader with a soft, familiar smile.


    “Selena, long time no see.”


    “Alice?! It’s you! You’re alive?!”


    Selena showed a surprised expression.


    She looked at Alice in a daze for a couple of seconds, with her eyes examining the clerical gown adorning the saintess figure. She then shifted her gaze towards the yers around, currently picking up items on the ground, before finally turning to the direction where the expanding holy light had disappeared…


    Silence reigned for a couple of minutes as if she was savoring the moment but in the end, Selena’s voice finally returned as she asked with rapt anticipation:


    “C-Could… Could it be… all of this is true?!”


    Alice didn’t immediately respond.


    Instead, she simply drew a familiar tree-shaped symbol upon her chest, then solemnly and devoutly said:


    “The Divine Matriarch… has indeed returned.”


    After saying this, Alice opened her arms, and the power of faith behind her condensed into a brilliant halo that exuded holy light.


    She then looked at these fellow brethren of hers rescued by the yers and said with a smile,


    “Let’s go home, my dear sister, let’s go home, my fellow brethren…”


    For a moment, over a hundred elves stood still in utmost awe.
