Seeing Yuhaka's acrobatic cooking style, Claire and the others didn't seem surprised at all, after all, they had seen Yuhaka do similar things before.

Claire and the others watched as the humanoid elf girl, Linslet, ate the special pancakes made by Linslet. Although they didn't know who this humanoid elf girl was, humanoid form was a symbol of the highest-ranking elves, so she was probably not weak.

However... when Claire and the others recalled how the young elf girl was brought over by Yuhaka like a little rabbit carried by a hound, they felt that the other party might... well, these things are not for them, the elf wielders, to discuss.

"Eat as much as you like, there's plenty of other ingredients!"

Linslet, flipping the pan, smiled and spoke to the little elf. The little elf, hearing Linslet's words, smiled and handed her the empty plate, saying:

Thank you, your desserts were really delicious!

“Thank you for the compliment~”

Linslet took the plate from the little elf and thanked her. Then she added a special pancake to the little elf's plate. When the little elf took the pancake from Linslet, her eyes met those of Yuhaka. However, the little elf immediately looked away, as she still vividly remembered being chased by Yuhaka earlier.

Imagine being chased by a monster-like figure with glowing red eyes on the wall in a dark, narrow passage, and you can't even outrun it. Wouldn't that be terrifying?

Of course, Yuhaka was special because the scene of their first meeting was so terrible. The others were similar; the young elves were also very wary of them, except for Linslet, who fed them.

Suddenly remembering something, the young elf looked up at Linslet and asked curiously:

"By the way, Ice Priestess, why are you back here again?"

Upon hearing the young elf's question, Linslet was taken aback. She then explained the situation to the young elf, who, after considering Linslet's request to find a suitable location within the underground labyrinth as a base, replied:

"Hmm... If we're talking about the place with the most concentrated ley lines beneath this ruined city, it should be the Lost Sanctuary."

"The Lost Sanctuary?"

While Alice looked puzzled, Claire, who was standing nearby, pondered the information she had gathered in the Divine Ritual Academy library and said:

"If I remember correctly, that's probably the oldest altar in this place."

Hearing Claire's words, the little elf nodded. However, Alice, who was standing to the side, looked at the little elf with some doubt and said:

"Huh? I heard from Linslet that you lost your memories?"

Chapter 786 [The Imminent Final Battle]

Hearing Alice's words, everyone remembered that Linslet had mentioned the young elf had lost her memory. So, everyone's attention focused on the young elf eating the special pancake. Noticing everyone was looking at her, the young elf quickly explained:

"I've been locked up here for almost three years! I've been so bored with nothing to do that I've been reading the history carved on the walls of this labyrinth, and that's how I learned all this!"

After hearing the young elf's explanation, everyone looked at her with pity. At that moment, Linslet suddenly remembered something and said to the young elf:

"That's right! Miss Elf! There might be a way to break the seal placed on your body!"

The young elf opened her eyes wide in surprise after hearing Linslet's words and said:

"Huh? Huh! Really?!"

Linslet nodded and then gave Fiana a look. Seeing Linslet's signal, Fiana stepped forward and spoke to the young elf:

“I am the second princess of the Aldasia Empire, Fiana Lei Aldasia, and I am willing to do my utmost to break the seal on my body.”

Hearing Fiana's words, the somewhat shy little elf glanced at Linslet standing to the side, and Linslet waved her hand to comfort her, saying:

"Don't worry, Fiana is my friend."

"Linslett's friend?"

After hearing Linslet's words, the little elf relaxed slightly and stared intently at Fiana for a moment. Fiana blinked, looking puzzled, before the little elf nodded resolutely and said:

"Okay, I believe you..."

After hearing the young elf's determination, Fiana asked her real name. The young elf looked puzzled, and then Linslet, who was standing nearby, explained:

"The seal placed on Yu is probably an inherent seal of the limited target. If the true name is not known, the seal cannot be broken."

Upon hearing Linslet's words, the young elf hesitated for a moment before finally revealing her real name.

"Isalia Shiva?!"

Upon hearing the young elf's true name, Fiana looked shocked. Claire and the others, standing nearby, looked at Fiana with puzzled expressions and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? Fiana, is there a problem with this name?"

In response to everyone's questions, Fiana swallowed hard and said somewhat solemnly:

"That... is the name of the Water Spirit King, right?"

Everyone fell silent immediately, except for Yuhaka and Esther, who continued eating their pancakes with a carefree expression.

One of the five great spirit kings, the water spirit king, is [Isalia Shiva]. Her anthropomorphic appearance is mostly depicted as a woman holding a water bottle in her arms.

Although she didn't know why the young elf would say that name, she quickly explained in the heavy and tense atmosphere:

"That's the name of the Water Spirit King. I learned it from the murals here, because when I first woke up in the underground labyrinth of this ruined city, that was the only name I remembered..."

After hearing the young elf's explanation, everyone looked on with a sense of understanding. Fiana stroked her chin and said:

"If that's the case... could it be that the user is a familiar of a water spirit?"

Hearing Fiana's words, the little elf nodded and said:

"Huh? Hmm, that should be right, because I feel very safe when I'm near water."

After hearing the little fairy's explanation, everyone agreed. However, since they couldn't find out the little fairy's real name, Fiana couldn't do anything about the little fairy's seal. Although there was nothing she could do, Fiana planned to go to the library of the Divine Ritual Academy after the Fairy Sword Dance Festival to look up some information and maybe she could find out about the little fairy.

The young elf felt very sorry to hear Fiana's words, but having waited for several years in this place, she didn't mind waiting a few more days.

Finally, the young fairy led Claire and the others to the location of the Lost Sanctuary.

.................................................................................

Located atop a tower, the tallest in the ruins, the Lost Sanctuary, the convergence point of all the ley lines, is the perfect place to activate the Holy Grail.

Holding the Holy Grail, Ren Ashbell walked up the tower's steps to its highest point. At the top, Ren looked up at the sky over the ruined city. Even at noon, the sky was gray and gloomy. The surrounding ruins were covered by forest vegetation, resembling a scene from hundreds of years after humanity disappeared.

Lian gazed at the place where Yuhaka and Miuya had fought in the distance. Although it was quite far away, she could still sense the commotion that had occurred there.

"Lord Lian...Lord Lian."

Hearing Lily's voice, Lian turned around and saw that Lily looked a bit disheveled. Beside her was Miuya, whose eyes were darting around. Seeing Miuya beaten down to just her panties, Lian was filled with questions. What happened? It felt like she'd been attacked by a pervert?

"What's wrong with Miu Ya?"

After hearing Ren's words, Lily explained to Ren what had happened with Yuhaka and the others. After hearing Lily's explanation, Ren squinted at the figure of the dragon knight girl appearing in the distance and said:

"Is that so... But it doesn't matter. I've almost finished collecting Kamui. Once I've collected all the Kamui, I will open the Holy Grail."

Then Lian waved to Lily and said:

"Lily, set up the defenses around the Lost Sanctuary. We might be attacked by other spirit user teams later."

"Yes, I understand!"

Upon hearing Ren's order, Lily expressed her understanding and used teleportation magic to leave the place with the incapacitated Miuya. After Lily left, Ren took out a card from her clothes. The card depicted a long-haired human kneeling on the ground, bound by chains.

Chapter 787 [Youyou is preparing for a surprise attack OwO...]

In the underground labyrinth beneath the ruined city, the young elf led Yuhaka and Claire on their way to the Lost Sanctuary. Along the way, they encountered a hot spring and performed a purification ritual, which was essentially a bath.

For spirit users, keeping their bodies clean is very important, otherwise their connection with the spirits will weaken.

After taking a bath, Yuhaka and the others continued their journey to the Lost Sanctuary. Led by the young elf, Claire and the others soon arrived at a wall that was entangled by tree roots.

"arrive."

The young elf turned to look at Yuhaka and the others and said this, while Claire, looking at the wall entangled by tree roots, followed Alice beside her and said:

"Alice, it's up to you now."

Hearing Claire's words, Alice nodded and then swung her spear, unleashing several wind blades to remove all the tree roots wrapped around the wall. After Alice removed the tree roots, what was underneath them was revealed: a stone door engraved with mysterious patterns.

"This is the Gate of Eternal Darkness, one of the six gates in the underground labyrinth of the ruined capital!"

As she spoke, the young elf chanted a rare ancient Elvish language. After the patterns carved on the stone door emitted a bluish-white light, the heavy stone door opened with a low rumbling sound.

On the other side of the stone gate are the steps leading to the road above.

"My guidance will only go this far."

As she spoke, the young elf looked at Yuhaka and the others and said that there was a sealing barrier set up at the location of the stone gate, which prevented the young elf from going out.

"Thank you, Miss Elf."

Claire and the others were very grateful for the little elf's help, and the little elf waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry about it, it's just a return gift of the pancakes."

After saying goodbye to Yuhaka and the others, the young elf left. Watching the young elf disappear into the dim passage, Claire and the others couldn't help but sigh. A high-ranking elf who had lost her memory and was sealed in the ruins, yet claimed to be the Water Spirit King, was a mysterious creature.

Claire shook her head slightly and then spoke to the others:

"Alright, let's set off. Let's set up our base first, and then prepare to fight the other Spirit Master teams."

After hearing Claire's words, the others nodded in agreement. They were now urgently looking for a safe place to spend the night. If they couldn't find one, they could return here without any problems.

...........................................................................

"What, what's going on?!"

When Yuhaka and Claire returned to the surface from the underground labyrinth, the sight before them astonished them. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, which gathered like a vortex around a tall tower. Strange lights emanated from the tower, and a liquid resembling black mud flowed down from it like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Claire and the others were caught off guard. At that moment, the Command Seal on Yuhaka's hand emitted a burst of light, and then Anna appeared.

Upon seeing Anna appear, Yuhaka's eyes lit up, and he grabbed her and licked her. Anna, who had just teleported over and was about to say something to Yuhaka and the others, was suddenly interrupted by Yuhaka's lick.

"M, Master?!"

Startled by Yuhaka's sudden outburst, Anna looked at the wagging tail and hugging Yuhaka, sighed helplessly, and placed her hands on Yuhaka's shoulders to pull him away, saying:

"Ha... Master, let's get down to business, stop fooling around."

"OwO um~"

Hearing Anna's words, Yuhaka nodded obediently, and then Anna finished talking to the others about what had happened there.

Anna told Claire and the others about the Holy Grail and the evil of this world. After hearing Anna's explanation, Claire and the others also...

They looked surprised. Although it was hard to believe that Anna would mention the Holy Grail and the Evil of this World, Claire and the others believed Anna's words because they knew about Yhaka's identity before.

"Then let's hurry and stop that so-called Holy Grail ritual!"

After listening to Anna's words, Alice was the first to stand up and say the same thing. As a knight, Alice could not tolerate anyone committing such a heinous act during such an exciting ceremony as the Elf Sword Dance Festival.

Anna winked at Alice's actions, and then Anna said to Alice:
