Chapter 805 The Legendary Dark Elf
In the underground city passage,

Li Si was somewhat surprised by what he saw.

After news of the dungeon entrance appearing around Graystone City reached the Pan-Continental Mage Association, Li Si knew that other legendary councilors would surely be interested in this newly emerged dungeon.

After all, every undeveloped underground city may contain all sorts of precious resources.

This situation is somewhat similar to the small worlds opened up by the [Philips Crystal].

However, unlike those small world passages, this underground city is located within the territory of the Pancontinental Mage Association.

If things are brought under control, we can still get the support of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Therefore, Li Si was prepared to encounter other legendary councilors of the association in the dungeon.

But he really didn't expect it to be in such a complicated situation.

[The Reciting One] Brun, the legendary member of the association, was someone he knew.

This legendary councilor is a member of the [Cocoon of Lies] school and is skilled in bewitching spells.

However, he is somewhat different from ordinary legendary mages and cultivators.

In fact, the ascetic Bren and those ascetics practiced similar methods.

It is said that through arduous and extraordinary training, he developed a spirit that was both as powerful and abundant as that of a legendary mage and as resilient and extraordinary as a legendary ascetic.

Therefore, the bewitching spells used by Bren were quite powerful, and many legendary councilors were unwilling to face him.

However, it seems that because of his past experiences, Brune's way of doing things is similar to that of an ascetic.

Within the Pan-Continental Mage Association, [The Ascetic] Bren has always been considered a rather solitary figure.

Although he always stayed in the association, very few people had ever seen this "Spellcaster" Bren.

However, it seems that this Lord Brun, the [Spellcaster], while skilled in bewitching spells, is not particularly adept at perception.

Li Si glanced at the dark elf who stood quietly not far in front of him.

The existence of this legendary dark elf is like a sharp blade silently gliding through the night.

She is both the embodiment of fear and the manifestation of desire!

Standing silently in the crevices of shadow, this dark elf was like a dark flame solidified from the abyss, every inch of its existence imbued with deadly allure.

Her long, jet-black hair, cascading down like a waterfall, gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, like raven feathers bathed in moonlight.

A teardrop-shaped obsidian stone adorns the lower left eye, rippling eerily with each breath, as if concealing countless unspoken curses.

Golden rings burned around the edges of her violet pupils, and when she gazed at them, it seemed as if she could drag her soul into a spider web. Her wheat-colored skin had a pale pinkish glow like blood coral, and under the firelight, it shimmered like mother-of-pearl.

The tight-fitting scale armor outlined the breathtaking curves of her wasp waist and full hips, and beneath the leather pants that slit down to her thighs, a slender dagger was hidden on her long legs.

Just looking at her, Li Si felt as if he could smell the deadly scent of lily of the valley.

All I can say is that this dark elf in front of me seemed to be full of extreme allure, like a red rose in the shadows.

She hid in the shadows, but Li Si saw her clearly.

Li Si could sense the power of the legendary realms [Shadow] and [Degeneration] emanating from her.

However, Li Si's mastery of the [Shadow] legendary realm is undoubtedly much stronger.

Therefore, although the legendary dark elf in front of him was able to deceive [The Sorrowful Monk] Bren, he was completely countered by Li Si.

However, Li Si did not act rashly.

Besides the power of those two legendary domains, this dark elf also possesses an extremely powerful hidden force.

Li Si had felt this power in others before.

For example, the hunting god Rune.

The power emanating from the legendary dark elf here undoubtedly comes from the matriarch of all dark elves, the Spider Queen Lolth!
So, this suddenly appearing underground city was part of the Spider Queen Lolth's scheme?
Li Si became cautious.

Lolth the Spider Queen is a chaotic and evil deity who governs many divine roles, including spiders, evil, darkness, and chaos.

She was once the consort of the elven god Corellon Laresian, but was later transformed into a lord of the abyss for betrayal and exiled to the 66th level of the Abyss, the Deep Pit of the Abyss.

Lolth's Church is the main faith of the Dark Elves, and it maintains its rule and divine status primarily by manipulating the Dark Elf race.

Rose's realm, the Pit of Despair, is a labyrinth of spiderwebs, with the bodies of fallen souls hanging from its sides. This realm depends on chaos and evil.
Rose possesses powerful abilities in this area, and in addition to dark elves, she can also summon creatures such as spiders and wax demons.

Rose the Pig is adept at manipulating her followers through betrayal and murder, using Wax Melting Demons or Soul-Eating Spiders to carry out her will.

She was extremely cunning and ruthless, attempting to increase her power by devouring other gods or seizing divine positions.

Although Lolth the Spider Queen is not the strongest among the evil gods, she is definitely the most dangerous.

Especially in areas such as underground cities.

This deity's scheme is certainly not a simple matter.

However, in her previous life, although the Spider Queen Rose had taken many actions, especially when the demons of the abyss invaded the Gaia world, it was never heard that this goddess had taken action so early.

Has something changed?

Li Si was not quite sure.

He was confident he could defeat the legendary dark elf before him, but he had no confidence in facing the divine power of the Spider Queen, Lolth.

Although he has now attracted the attention of many deities, it's best to avoid such trouble.

Of course, "less contact" doesn't mean "never contact."

Before figuring out what these dark elves and the Spider Queen Lolth were up to, Li Si did not intend to make any rash moves.

Moreover, it seems that this legendary dark elf in front of me has designs on the [Spellcaster].

Capture a legendary mage?
Is it really possible to do that?
The legendary dark elf before them was not weak, but he was only slightly stronger than the [Spellcaster].

The [Spellcaster] is skilled in mental magic, making it virtually impossible to capture him alive.

Li Si became somewhat interested in the methods of the Dark Elves.

[The Sorrowful Monk] Bren looked at the dark elf Karina before him and said expressionlessly:

"What are the names of your dark elf city-states?"

Who is the matriarch of the city-state?

The flippancy she had shown when facing Pascal and the others was gone from Karina's demeanor; she spoke respectfully:

"It's the Forbidden Fortress Donovan, and the mistress is Lady Spin."

Each dark elf city-state has an elven matriarch who holds all the power in the city-state.

It is somewhat similar to the queen bee.

This is quite different from the social structure of forest elves.

Essentially, each Dark Elf matriarch is the strongest in her city-state and the one most deeply influenced by Lolth, the Spider Queen.

Bren frowned slightly; he had never heard of this name before.

But this is normal.

Although he had obtained all the information related to the dungeons from the Pancontinental Mage Association's magical intelligence before setting off, very little of it was related to the dark elves.

After all, the underground city area was not a primary focus of the association before this.

"Is your Lady Spin the legendary one?"

Brun continued to ask.

This time, however, Karina did not answer directly, but instead showed a look of fear and despair on her face.

Although the problem was simple, she was restricted by a soul seal and could not reveal more important and crucial information.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After a moment of silence, Karina said in a low voice:

"Because of the restrictions imposed by the mistress, I cannot answer these questions for you." "I can only say that it is the same as what you think."

Seemingly worried that this would make Bren think she was useless and kill her, Karina quickly added:

"I will not hide anything from you, as long as it is something I can tell you."

“If you wish, I can take you to Fort Donovan right now.”

“That place is shrouded in the power of our Lord, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to find it.”

Bren glanced at Karina but didn't say anything more.

Many believers in evil gods are subject to such restrictions.

Bren could easily break free from ordinary soul restrictions.

However, it seems that the Spider Queen Lolth's restrictions cannot be easily broken.

It is very likely that this will attract the attention of that deity.

After a moment's thought, Bren gently touched the space between his eyebrows.

A faint line of magic was drawn out from between his eyebrows.

Then, with a flick of his right hand, the magic line landed directly on Karina's forehead.

Seeing this, Karina initially wanted to dodge, but in the end she obediently stayed where she was and let Bren's magic lines connect.

Seeing this, Bren nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, now you can say it."

".I see."

Karina had no idea what had happened.

It seems this human legend used some special means.

Could this allow her to escape the punishment of the soul restriction?
Karina didn't dare ask, and could only say with a death-defying air:
"Mother Spin is indeed a legendary figure, isn't she?"

Karina began to recount the secrets that should have been kept under the soul's seal, only to find that she indeed did not feel any harm.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her awe of Bren deepened considerably.

However, as Karina continued her story, Bren's previously calm expression twitched slightly.

Li Si, who was standing not far away, was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

Good guy!
Can you still play like this?
Although he didn't realize what Bren was doing at first, he did when Bren started to take damage.

This person's mastery of magic in the realms of spirit and soul is indeed extraordinary!
When facing someone protected by spiritual and soul restrictions, Li Si is not without options, but he can only use powerful magic and meticulous manipulation to analyze the other party's soul in order to obtain as much information as possible from it.

Of course, if the level of the soul restriction is far lower than that of a legendary one, then it will be much easier.

But doing so would undoubtedly kill the object being parsed.

The other methods that Li Si knew were basically the same: to obtain more information by avoiding triggering the soul's restrictions as much as possible.

But Bren's soul spell is different.

Since no matter how careful we are, we will definitely trigger the soul restriction.

I chose to directly trigger the soul restriction, obtaining information by avoiding the damage caused by the restriction.

Brun used a special soul spell to directly take the damage that Karina would have to face.

The damage that would destroy Karina's soul was not too serious for Bren.

Moreover, Li Si could see that Bren's soul magic had other effects.

For example, it can detect whether someone is lying or eliminate hostility.

However, this method also has limitations.

Bren was able to take the damage caused by the soul restriction for the Gold-ranked Karina.

This is the result of his extremely strong and resilient soul and spirit.

Even so, the damage inflicted by the legendary-level soul restriction would be extremely difficult for Bren to withstand.

However, it must be admitted that Brun's spell is indeed quite strange.

Let Li Si broaden his horizons!

"Lord Brun, that's all I know."

Karina stood obediently in front of Bren, like a well-behaved little black cat.

Bren nodded slightly and severed the magic thread between him and Karina.

"Since you have already betrayed your mistress and the city-state, don't have any other thoughts."

"Take me to Donovan."

"Yes, Lord Brun."

Karina nodded repeatedly without any resistance or hesitation.

Pascal

Bren turned to the somewhat dejected exploration team beside him and said:
"You're not in good condition right now, so let's use the teleportation scroll to return to the ground."

"Uncle Brunn, can't we come with you?"

Pascal gritted his teeth and spoke up:

"I'm not willing to go back like this."

"I am not giving you orders."

"Even if we go to the city-states of the Dark Elves, I cannot guarantee that I can protect you."

“You are all seasoned adventurers, so you should naturally take responsibility for your decisions.”

"This"

Pascal remained silent for a moment in response to Brun's words, then looked at the expressions of his companions around him.

Although their companions didn't say it outright, it was clear they didn't really want to delve any deeper.

"I understand, we'll leave now."

Although somewhat reluctant, Pascal changed his mind.

She knew very well that if it weren't for her relationship with Bren, they would have had little choice in front of the association's legendary councilor.

"Ah."

Bren nodded, then led Karina deeper into the passage.

Pascal, on the other hand, used a teleportation scroll with his teammates, and his figure disappeared from the dungeon in a flash of light.

As Bren approached, the legendary dark elf slowly retreated.

However, no movement or sound was made.

The same applies to Li Si.

He also controlled a wisp of shadow power, which silently wrapped around Bren and the dark elf Karina.

He did not go directly to mark the legendary dark elf.

He has advantages, but not to that extent.

For some reason, Li Si felt that the legendary dark elf looked somewhat familiar when he saw him.

It's like I've seen her somewhere before.
However, now is not the time to focus on these things.
Just as Pascal and the others left, Li Si suddenly noticed a problem.

This underground city space has now been "enclosed"!
