not long ago.
The Elf Princess stood side by side with Victoria, surrounded by a quiet forest, with sunlight casting mottled shadows through the treetops.
The air was filled with a faint floral scent.
"Is it really okay for you to leave like this?"
The elf princess tilted her head slightly, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes.
She had been urging Victoria to leave, but at this moment her pace slowed down involuntarily.
Victoria stared at the sky, her bright ruby eyes flashing with a strange light.
"Child, one day you will have to leave your mother."
Her voice was soft but firm, as if she was stating an irreversible fact.
"Why, then, not today?"
"Oh!"
The elf princess narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on Victoria's stunning face.
"Do you really think so?"
"you"
She was just about to say something.
boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying energy wave came from not far away.
They turned their heads at the same time and saw a blood mist spreading into the sky, dyeing the entire sky blood red.
"That is"
Xilaiya looked solemn as she stared at the blood mist rising into the sky.
"Oh, that troublesome thing has escaped."
Looking at the blood mist that covered the sky, the elf princess raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Victoria.
“You don’t seem worried”
“I’m worried, but I trust my children more.”
Victoria's gaze shifted from the blood mist to the elf princess.
“Nothing will happen to him.”
"hehe"
However, the Elf Princess just sneered.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
There was a hint of playfulness and challenge in her words.
“I admit that the power of gluttony is indeed strong”
"But similarly, the opponents he faced also had the same level of 'lust' and 'temperance'. In addition, they had obtained the power for a long time."
"Do you think that the child who has just obtained the power of 'Gluttony' can be their opponent who has mastered their power for at least a hundred years?"
"Can he really handle it?"
"Of course, this might ensure that the child doesn't die."
"Add to that the power of Gluttony that even I don't know about, maybe it really can be possible."
"but!"
The Elf Princess chuckled, her eyes fixed on the Gate of the Dead that was crumbling under the influence of the three forces.
"No matter how much power your child possesses, he will never be a match for the one in the City of the Dead."
“He won’t come out”
Victoria shook her head.
"Yes!"
The Elf Princess did not deny it and smiled:
"He won't come out!"
"If he comes out, there will be basically no suspense in this battle."
Seeing Victoria frowning in displeasure, the elf princess chuckled.
"What, you don't believe it?"
"Is the 'Sloth' that the Skeleton Lord controls really that strong?"
"No, it's not that he has mastered laziness, it's that he understands what laziness is."
At this point, a trace of sadness appeared in the eyes of the Elf Princess.
"At the cost of one country's people"
“What is ‘laziness’?”
"That's right"
The elf princess nodded, looked at Victoria who was thinking, smiled and stroked her little head.
"You better hope you, little foodie, don't understand what 'gluttony' means"
"otherwise--"
"Otherwise?" Victoria wondered.
"Your little one will be like the Skeleton King."
"Well, do you want to go back and get some advice?"
"Why did you ask me to go back from the beginning?"
Victoria slapped the Elf Princess' hand away in displeasure. "You were the one who asked me to leave, and you were the one who threatened me. Now, you're asking me to go back?"
"what are you talking about?"
Hearing Victoria's question, the Elf Princess fell silent.
She raised her eyes and looked at the floating shadow suspended in the east.
Her eyes penetrated the clouds and she could see the city above the clouds. At the very top of the city, a woman was standing and looking into her eyes.
"perhaps"
The Elf Princess looked away, lowered her head, then raised her head and smiled:
"I don't want to kill you with my own hands!"
She slowly approached, stretched out her hand, and moved closer to Victoria's face.
Victoria wanted to dodge, but found that she couldn't move at the moment.
Looking closely, she found that invisible lines had restricted her movements without her knowing when.
All she could do was let the elf princess caress Victoria's fair face and smile charmingly.
"As a fellow King Chosen, you should know that in the battles among the King Chosen, there are no losers, but there are deaths!"
"Like now, I can take your life at any time"
"Oh! Then why don't you kill me now?"
Victoria showed no fear at all and looked at her calmly.
"Why, after knowing that I am the chosen one, did you ask me to go back?"
"Do you think I pose no threat to you at all?"
Her tone was calm, but underneath that calm voice, there was an extremely difficult to detect anger!
"No!"
The Elf Princess shook her head and gave an answer that was completely different from what Victoria had guessed.
"I think that among all the chosen ones, you are the elf that poses the greatest threat to me."
"Although"
The Elf Princess touched Victoria's red lips and said with a smile:
"You are still very weak now, the weakest among all the chosen ones."
"But, one day, you will be like me, or even surpass me"
"Then why did you ask me to go back and not kill me?"
Victoria was puzzled.
Although she thought this guy was teasing her on the spot, she couldn't see any falsehood in his eyes.
"hehe"
The elf princess chuckled, and her smile was beautiful.
"Of course, to defeat you!"
She spread her arms and laughed, her smile very proud.
"If I knew that you were my great enemy on the road to the throne, I would deliberately avoid you, or even kill you in advance."
"Doesn't that mean I'm scared?"
The Elf Princess put down her hands, her expression instantly became serious and solemn, and a kingly aura spread out.
"As a king, how can you be afraid of a strong enemy!"
"What am I doing here on the road to a king without any strong enemies?!"
"Eliminating all the people when they are at their weakest, what's the difference between that and masturbation?!"
Victoria was stunned for a moment when she heard the Elf Princess' words.
She had never thought that their elf princess was so domineering.
"So, you asked me to go back so that I could be your stepping stone?"
"No!"
The Elf Princess raised her lips and said arrogantly:
"It's a grindstone!"
"As a stepping stone, those pieces of trash are enough!"
"hehe"
Victoria was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.
"Ha ha"
"Then be careful, the whetstone can become a knife if you sharpen it!"
"Then let me see it!"
The Elf Princess slowly walked into the teleportation array.
"If you really are standing next to your child right now, then come and fight for this throne!"
“That’s why I came here.”
Victoria stepped onto the teleportation array without hesitation.
With the activation of the teleportation array, they successfully arrived at the elf kingdom.
