The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 82, Section 78: Suppressing the Elf Domain
"Your Majesty, these three damned elves dared to infiltrate the floating city of Eldoron! Their crime is unforgivable!" Kad roared, then turned to the elves, looking ready to fight them to the death.

"Watch me capture you all!"

Over the past 10 years, after surviving by following Helen and Gutt, Card realized that his survival was entirely due to the other two. Therefore, he tried hard to find an opportunity to truly prove his loyalty to Elian, but unfortunately, he couldn't find one.

We've finally found it!
With occasional guidance from El-Erian, this former chief of protection finally broke through previously unimaginable bottlenecks last year, completed his promotion, and entered the Ninth Ring realm.

"The King of Mankind has two subordinates?"

Leah's expression suddenly turned serious, then she smiled and said:

"You've come at the perfect time. King of Humanity, once we capture you, the rest of Eldoran will surely surrender!"

"You three think you can take us down?"

"There are three of us here, and all of us are legendary spellcasters. You humans probably don't have a second legendary mage, right?"

Leah chuckled and turned her head:

"Your Highness Seymour, let's all three of us attack together and capture that human king..."

She saw Seymour and took off running, leaping over the fence of the floating city and about to jump down:

"Her Majesty the Queen has decreed that we must not wage war against humans!"

Leah's eyes widened in surprise.

"We really shouldn't trust the Moon Elf at this time."

"It's alright, we still have at least two legends!"

Leah and Guirasser Goldflesh faced the three approaching humans and prepared for battle.

"Your Highness, sister, hang in there!" Alamir Kingpin, trapped inside the house, encouraged the two of them.

"Kill that human monarch and avenge me!"

At the same time, Archmage Kad spread his arms, and an invisible suppression barrier spread from his body.

Although as a master of defensive specialization, Khad is relatively weak in offensive means and not good at one-on-one combat, he has many ways to counter enemy spellcasters. As in the past, he emphasizes teamwork and has the ability to suppress and counter the opponent!

"This is a newly invented ninth-ring spell, which I improved upon under the guidance of His Majesty Emperor Elion!"

Khad shouted out the name of the spell:

"Suppress the Spirit Domain!"

When Leah heard this, she almost choked on her own saliva.

So this is specifically targeting us elves?
El-Erian had, of course, anticipated the potential threats El-Doren might face in the future, and naturally instructed his men to focus their training on that area!
The hypothetical enemy I trained against for the previous 10 years was a spellcaster from the Elf Royal Court.

The next 20 years will be filled with demons from the abyss!

The invisible [Suppression of Spirits Domain] expanded in an instant, directly enveloping Priestess Guiras Goldflake.

Faced with an ability specifically designed to target him, the legendary priest clearly felt that his divine power and status were being affected to a considerable degree. He frowned slightly and felt a mild pain.

However, when this invisible domain covered the mage Leah, the legendary mage only twitched her fingertips slightly, her expression calm, and she was not affected in any way.

"By using a special method, they misled the judgment criteria of the spell; that's quite a skill."

Elian saw through Lia's scheme at a glance and smiled slightly.

Mages are more adept at unpredictable magical maneuvers and magical offense and defense than priests!

After all, apart from priests of certain specific gods, most priests' strengths lie largely in assisting and healing their teammates.

"Come and fight, King of Mankind!"

The two legendary mages, Lia and Elion, stepped forward simultaneously, raised their hands to form hand seals, and began to fight.

clap clap.

Several dazzling streaks of light flashed between the two, and they had already exchanged blows several times in the blink of an eye.

Each move was incredibly deadly, yet their effects seemed to precisely cancel each other out, or flow into another dimension, without affecting the surrounding environment in the slightest.

"King of Humanity, although we are both novice legends, my magical power and combat skills are above Alamir's!"

The proud sun elf princess snorted angrily.

On the other side, Priestess Guiras Goldflesh, affected by the [Suppressing Elf Domain], also engaged in combat with two other human ninth-ring spellcasters.

"The opponents are two ninth-ring human spellcasters. We need to defeat them quickly to prevent the humans from receiving more reinforcements later."

"Let's see if we can instantly reduce one person's number..."

"Destroyed into ashes!"

As his thoughts drifted, dark divine energy gathered at the fingertips of this legendary elven priest, who then pointed it in the direction of Kad.

She wanted to see if defeating this enemy would break the suppression of the spirit's domain.

However, the attack itself was also affected by the domain, causing the divine magic energy to be slightly slowed down.

Snapped!
The jet-black energy beam pierced straight through the protective barrier in front of Kad, startling the chief protector.
"Oops!"

"This is an instant-death spell enhanced by super magic; my barrier can't stop it at all!"

As the dark energy beam was about to hit him, Kad could only rely on the static, permanent protective magic on his body to help him avoid this instant-death effect and prevent him from dying directly.

At that moment, Helen simultaneously cast a spell, the target of which was Kad, who was about to be hit by the attack.

"Transform!"

In the next instant, Kad transformed into a pale-skinned, ugly undead in a cloud of mist.

The originally deadly dark energy beam struck Kad, but it vanished without a trace, having no effect whatsoever. "Has he become some kind of undead creature immune to instant-death spells?"

"Because of the bald man's suppressive elven domain, my attack was a beat slower, giving the blonde woman time to react."

"That blonde woman immediately came up with a counter-spell when I attacked the bald man, protecting her teammate."

"The two of them work together very well!"

Guiras Goldfleck frowned, realizing that the two ninth-ring human spellcasters in front of him were far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

She recalled the magical battle on the surface below, and the amazing teamwork of those human mages.

Sure enough, among top-tier combat forces, this ability to cooperate and coordinate is only stronger, not weaker!

"One is a ninth-ringed mage, and the other is a peak ninth-ringed mage. Their perfect coordination achieves a 1+1>2 effect, and they also have magic specifically designed to target elves."

"At least for the time being, I have no hope of defeating either of them!"

"This is the floating city of Eldoron, the human kingdom. If we delay any longer, the other human mages will arrive..."

Guillermo del Toro came to a conclusion and began to consider leaving.

At the same time, Princess Lia, who had just finished fighting Elian, suddenly took two steps back, with a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead.

The elven princess smiled and said to Elian in front of her:
"Not bad, human, you are indeed very powerful, you actually managed to fight me to a draw!"

"Among the novice legends, they are considered to be among the more outstanding ones."

Am I hearing things? Princess Lia is actually praising humans!
Guillermo del Toro was taken aback.

She also keenly noticed that the sun elf princess had her hands in her pockets, and although she looked relaxed, the corners of her mouth were twitching slightly, as if she was trying to suppress something.

"Guiraser, let's retreat!"

"If we delay any longer, more humans will come."

At this moment, several mages were already flying rapidly towards this place from the sky. They were all high-level mages who had come to provide support after hearing the news!

Lia grabbed the elven priest beside her with her left hand and disappeared in a burst of flashes and explosions.

"What?! Your Highness, my sister, you've all run away?"

Inside the house, Alamir saw that the two—or rather, three—who had come to rescue him had all run away, and he had lost all hope of being saved. He looked desperate.

Even the Sun Elf Princess Lia, whose magical power and combat experience are superior to his own, cannot gain the slightest advantage against the Human King Elian?
A few seconds later, the figures of mages slicing through the air with whooshing sounds and landed beside Elian, Helen, and Kad.

"What a pity, Your Majesty Elion, the battle was too intense just now, and I didn't have a chance to try to seal off space or anchor and suppress their teleportation ability."

Kade wiped away his sweat, looking regretful, not wanting to miss the opportunity to prove his loyalty to Elian:
"We'll definitely catch those annoying Pokémon next time!"

"Whatever, let them go if they want." Elian shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

His goal was never to eliminate more elves or even defeat the Elf Royal Court.

This is absolutely impossible for Eldoron in its current early stages!
Alamir was merely a bargaining chip used to persuade the Elven court to agree to establish diplomatic and trade relations.

One such prisoner is enough.

Capturing or killing more elven legends will only ignite the greater wrath of the elven court.

Compared to Kade, who was making exaggerated movements and eager to show his loyalty, the shapeshifter Helen raised an eyebrow and began to seriously analyze the magical battle that had just taken place:
“Your Majesty Elion, your brief exchange with that Sun Elf mage shouldn’t have been a draw, right?”

“No,” El-Erian said calmly.

Elian was certain that with his superior magical reserves and unorthodox methods, dealing with an opponent of equal strength would be a piece of cake.

Even though Princess Leah is known as a magical prodigy among the young Sun Elves, this is still true.

Even mid-level or high-level legends, due to the huge gap between them and low-level legends, could at most repel him, but were unlikely to kill him, given his many tricks and unpredictable nature.

“My goal has been achieved,” El-Erian continued.

During their recent exchange, he secretly left an almost imperceptible mark on Leah.

……

On the surface, the human and elven armies remained locked in a standoff.

The latest magical contest has once again ended in victory for the humans.

"Hahahaha, this team of elves is so weak. They're using all fancy, visually impressive but useless spells."

"Yeah, they're much weaker than the previous teams of Pokémon..."

Behind the elf camp, the mage Lia and the priest Guirasser returned in a disheveled state.

"How is it? Has Lord Alamir been rescued?"

—That's what the commanders of the elven alliance wanted to ask.

But when they saw that the two returned without anyone with them, they both stopped talking.

"The rescue failed. Those humans are too troublesome!"

Leah still had her right hand in her pocket, her face was slightly pale, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work."

The sun elf princess briefly explained the mission in a few words, then led Guirasser into the depths of the camp, her movements very hurried.

Once out of sight of others, Leah, who had been calm, suddenly became distorted in expression.

"Ouch, ouch, that hurts..."
