In the vast forest, moonlight filters through the treetops and falls upon a patch of scorched earth.

Countless corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Their faces were contorted, as if they had endured unspeakable suffering before their deaths.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and burning, a nauseating smell.

However, on this desolate, scorched earth, a towering ancient tree rises from the ground, its branches thick and twisted, as if it were fighting against heaven and earth.

The tree canopy spread out like a giant umbrella, blocking out the night sky.

The leaves shimmered with starlight, adding a touch of mystery to the dark forest.

On the largest leaf in the middle of the tree stood a beautiful elf with white hair and red eyes.

She wore a long white dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

Her face was cool and beautiful, and her eyes revealed determination and resolve.

Opposite her stood another elf.

His skin was an eerie blood red, and his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

He stood proudly in the void, his body surging with blood energy, as if even the heavens and earth changed color.

"I never imagined that the little guy from that day would grow up to be so big."

The blood elf Sikor looked at Victoria across from him, a hint of surprise in his voice.

"It's just that I've experienced a lot more."

Victoria lowered her eyes, a hint of sadness flashing in them, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She raised her head, looked directly into Xi Ke's eyes, and slowly began to speak:

"I've grown up now."

Upon hearing this, Xi Ke narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.

His gaze shifted from Victoria to the ancient, towering trees behind her.

There stood a human woman, her eyes filled with terror and helplessness.

Not far from the woman, there was a goblin trembling.

"So, you're going to block me?"

Xi Ke withdrew his gaze and looked at Victoria again, his tone icy.

Victoria did not answer, but she proved her determination with her actions.

She stood up and shielded the human woman and goblin behind her.

"You've killed everyone else, but they were innocent."

Xi Ke looked at Victoria in front of him, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"innocent?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Xi Ke's mouth, and the blood energy around him seemed to be drawn by his laughter, beginning to slowly surge.

"What is innocence? Tell me, in this world, what is truly innocent?"

His voice gradually rose, carrying an indescribable grief and anger:

"Our elven race lived in the forests in ancient times, peacefully and without conflict with the world."

"We love nature and respect life."

"But so what?"

"What did we get in return?!"

Anger flashed in Xi Ke's eyes, and his voice became hoarse and low:

"We were plundered by various tribes because of our natural beauty."

"They abducted our people, turned them into their slaves, and made them playthings in their hands."

"They manipulate our bodies at will and treat our lives like dirt."

"Back then, weren't we innocent too? But who cared about our innocence?"

Xi Ke's emotions grew increasingly agitated, and the blood and energy around him began to surge uncontrollably, as if they were about to break free from his restraints.

"From that moment on, I learned the meaning of 'innocence'—it's all a load of rubbish!"

Xi Ke roared, his voice echoing through the empty forest.

"In this world, only one kind of person can claim innocence: the strong! Only the strong can protect their people and safeguard their homeland!"

"If it weren't for the Elf King's forbidding it!"

"We are already dead, we died in the process of annihilating their race!"

"Exterminate those groups that enslaved and sold us in the past, so that they cease to exist in this world."

"This is the sole reason we blood elves exist in this world!"

Uncle Xike

Victoria called out softly, only to be met with a sigh from Siko.

"Fine, I've lived too long, and I've become too talkative?"

Sike's anger subsided slightly. He turned to look at Victoria, a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

"If it were me before, I wouldn't have told you so much."

He paused, then continued:

"Well then, I'm going to kill them right now, then knock you out and take you back. It's my responsibility as your uncle."

"No, Uncle Xike, I won't go back."

Victoria shook her head firmly, her tone revealing an undeniable resolve:

"I'm all grown up now, and I have things I want to do."

"Oh"

Xi Ke looked at Victoria, sneered, and said:

"You've got quite the nerve! You think you can challenge me just because you've grown wings?"

boom!

As soon as Xi Ke finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from him, as if to envelop the entire forest in his majesty.

Even when faced with the extraordinary Sike, Victoria remained unmoved.

With a wave of his hand, countless vines rose from the ground and quickly wrapped around Xi Ke, forming an impenetrable barrier.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"A trivial skill"

A mocking expression appeared on Xi Ke's face. He stretched out one hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it outwards.

With a loud "boom".

Countless vines turned to ashes and vanished, while Sico relentlessly approached Victoria.

Seeing this, Victoria waved her right hand.

Countless slender, silvery-white spikes materialized out of thin air, spinning as they pierced Xi Ke's chest.

But the moment they came into contact with Xike, they all turned to ashes and disappeared.

"It's no use!"

boom!

Xi Ke threw a punch, aiming straight for Victoria's chest and abdomen.

Then, it went straight through.

"Oh"

Xi Ke raised an eyebrow, watching Victoria's fading afterimage, then turned to look at Victoria and smiled.

"Not bad."

"Elf's Seventy-Sixth Technique, Full Reaction Amplification Spell"

As she finished speaking, Victoria looked up, her body radiating a faint blue light.

Its speed was greatly increased, allowing it to evade the attacking Xike.

"I never expected that you would be able to master one of the top 100 elven spells."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xi Ke's eyes.

"but"

brush!

His speed increased once again.

"It's still too slow."

boom!

A powerful punch landed squarely on Victoria's abdomen.

Xi Ke frowned.

The texture doesn't feel right.

The next moment, as if fulfilled, Victoria, who had been pierced, lost her color and turned into wood.

"The Ninety-Ninth Elf Technique: Substitute Puppet"

Xi Ke paused for a moment, seemingly finding it amusing.

"If I have time, I'll play with you."

He looked up and looked behind him.

At this moment, countless diamond-shaped ice mirrors began to float in the air, though it was unclear when.

Victoria's image is reflected on it.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she were chanting something.

"But I don't have time right now!"

The moment he finished speaking, Xi Ke's blood surged once again.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp, like that of a hawk.

"Elf 978 - Storm Blade"

As Xi Ke spoke, a sudden gust of wind swept across the land.

"Splash!"

The wind swept away the remaining clouds, engulfing all directions. (End of Chapter)
