Chapter 670 The Devourer''s Bracelet
??670 The Devourer''s Bracelet
In a spacious hall, all ten key figures—Caretaker Ivor, Caretaker N, Caretaker Shani, Caretaker Naida, Caretaker Z, Stronghold Leader Zogar, Stronghold Leader Seth, the Vige Chieftess, the Vige Chief, and Orion—gathered. Queen Selene sat in a specific direction, with ra standing behind her.
Seated on the other side were Patriarch Rn, along with Isadora, Lyndon, Leif, Leona, and the rest of the gods chosen.
"Okay, you can continue, Patriarch Rn," the Vige Chief requested with a contemtive expression as he looked at Patriarch Rn.
Patriarch Rn nodded and continued, "The man is called Captain Seig. He is a god''s chosen and a member of the half-
giant race, serving as the captain of the 2nd unit of a vanguard team in a grade 1 runaway city known as ''The Sleeping Fox.'' Meanwhile, the woman with him belongs to the Sloth Demon race and serves under him as the Lieutenant of the 2nd Unit Vanguard team of ''The Sleeping Fox'' runaway city."
"They both graduated from their training with high Vylkr energypatibility. After receiving their Devourer''s bracelets and weapons, they made a name for themselves by plundering other Runaway cities and sessfully defending against attacks on their own Runaway City. Our Runaway City and theirs had been in a longstanding misunderstanding for years. Unfortunately, eight months ago, both cities reached their boiling points and decided to part ways. Before we could fully grasp the situation, we were suddenly attacked by Captain Seig and his team."
"Fortunately, we had been on high alert for any imminent attacks, allowing us to eliminate some members of his team. This left only Captain Seig and his second, Lieutenant Evadne. Also, we managed to secure the remaining two million Four-
Eared Elves and abandoned our Runaway city, making our way towards this Vige, hoping for a miracle," Patriarch Rn responded.
"Unfortunately, with the loss of every single one of our units and those who had survived but were left with life-threatening injuries sustained from the battle and barely clinging to life, the journey was as dire as we had expected."
"After a few weeks, we realized we were being followed. We managed to escape with our lives only through the sacrifice of our remaining injured units. However, they located us again after a few weeks andunched another attack."
"In retaliation, our unit numbers dwindled one by one as they were not fully healed from their injuries. The constant attacks of the Vylkr vines further decimated our forces, reducing our numbers to one million, five hundred thousand. Every day, we lost 500 to 100 people to the Vylkr vines, and each time Captain Seig located us, we suffered losses of over a thousand more. When we arrived here, our numbers had dwindled to a mere hundred thousand, with only one unit remaining."
"Unfortunately, Captain Seig, whom we had believed we had lost track of, reemerged. If not for the interference of the Vige, we could have all been killed off one by one and devoured by the Vylkr vines until none of the four-eared elves remained. Fortunately, Captain Seig and his Lieutenant have been captured, and all I plead for is for you to make them suffer the agony of what the four-eared elves endured before their eventual death."
After Patriarch Rn finished speaking, he released a deep sigh.
The key figures, from the Caretakers to the Stronghold Leaders and the Vige Chief, the Vige Chieftess, Queen Selene, and Orion, all wore deep, contemtive expressions. Patriarch Rn''s exnation had left them in shock and amazement.
The information they had just received showed them a harsh image of the world beyond the Vige. A deste world ravaged by Vylkr vines. Various races upied territories in this barren expanse, living in Runaway cities. As their name suggested, these cities constantly moved to evade the relentless onught of Vylkr vines.
Simultaneously, they engaged in conflicts with other Runaway cities, plundering them for resources and forming alliances with those deemed allies for protection and necessities.
However, as they digested the story, they realized that the world outside was slightly vastly different from their own Vige. The key distinction was that the Vige stood alone without external enemies, apart from the relentless attacks of the Vylkr vines, and it wasn''t a Runaway city.
"Now, regarding the Vylkr energy, considering its nature, I need you to exin how the two attackers and the individuals behind you can wield it. This is something I believed and confirmed to be impossible. So, Patriarch Rn, shed light on how such a phenomenon became possible," the Vige Chief asked, shifting his attention toward Leif and the others standing behind Patriarch Rn.
The eyes of the other key figures followed suit, fixing their gaze on Leif and the others.
Patriarch Rn nodded in understanding and gestured for Leif toe forward.
Leif acknowledged with a nod and walked forward steadily.
"I believe you''ll gain a proper understanding if he handles the exnation, being a god''s chosen himself," Patriarch Rn stated.
The Vige Chief nodded in understanding, his gaze shifting towards Leif as he arrived at the centre of the hall and stood before them.
Leif stretched his right hand forward, showcasing the bulging bracelet to everyone.
"This bracelet on my right hand is called the ''Devourer''s bracelet.'' It is an artefact— an unranked artefact, to be precise. Although powerful, it requires variousponents for proper use, one of which is the vial," Leif exined.
He brought his right arm forward, opening apartment on the Devourer''s bracelet to reveal a small gold vial with detailed designs.
"As we all know, Vylkr vine in its purest form is too dangerous even for a powerful warrior at the peak of their race to handle or fight against. However, they are first diluted using a special achemichal process and stored in vials of different grades to utilise them. Each vial contains a collected amount of Vylkr energy, and the higher the grade, the more potent and challenging it is to handle," Leif exined, carefully cing the vial back in itspartment and closing it.
