"what?"
The Elf Princess looked at the familiar figure with her eyes wide open and her body trembling.
"Are you sad?"
The Elf King looked at the red mist in the distance and chuckled.
"My old friend, the little foodie"
"But, now you can..."
Pfft!
Before the Elf King could finish his words, a hand pierced through his abdomen from the back.
"How can this be?"
There was a look of horror in the Elf King's eyes, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.
"puff--!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of the Elf King's mouth, and he turned his head to look behind him.
Behind him, a crack appeared in the space, and a blood-red claw stretched out and pierced the Elf King's belly.
Inside the pitch-black crack, a pair of blood-red ruby eyes lit up, reflecting his nostalgic expression.
"you……"
The Elf King turned around with difficulty and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar existence, his eyes full of disbelief.
The blood mist above those blood-red hands, like a greedy poisonous snake, had already swallowed up half of the Elf King's body.
But despite this, the Elf King did not show the slightest sign of pain.
Instead, a hint of nostalgic smile appeared on that pale and handsome face.
"It's really you, long time no see!"
His voice was low and gentle, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"It's been a long time."
"So long, I have already forgotten how long it has been..."
The Elf King spoke to himself, his eyes penetrating the existence before him, as if recalling the distant past.
"Sometimes, I really, really envy you!"
"Little Foodie, have I finished--"
boom!
Before the Elf King could finish his words, a terrifying red fog surged out from the crack like a raging flood, swallowing up the Elf King in an instant.
In the red mist, the pair of blood-red eyes flashed with complex light.
"Sure enough, you are still as impulsive and rash as always!"
The Elf King's voice sounded in the void, with a hint of laughter in his tone.
In the red mist, the pair of blood-red eyes stared over instantly.
Not far away, the figure of the Elf King appeared again.
He stood there unharmed, looking at the red mist and smiled:
"You seem angry?"
The red mist rolled, as if containing endless anger and unwillingness.
"what!"
The Elf King seemed to remember something and his eyes fell on the ground, where Victoria, who was pierced by his magic beam and was dying, was.
"You are angry because of "her"!"
A complex emotion emerged on the Elf King's beautiful face - jealousy, envy, sadness, and pain intertwined together.
"You all like this girl!"
The Elf King's voice was low and bitter, as if expressing the pain deep in his heart.
"But it's good this way, it's more interesting this way."
"As expected of a child I created, even though he's a little stupid."
"Likewise, I like it very much, so much that—"
The Elf King slowly raised his hand, and the magic power gathered at his fingertips again, emitting a dangerous aura.
"Want to kill her."
"Haha, this is what a child should do."
As the Elf King waved his finger, a beam of magic power pierced through the void like lightning and shot towards Victoria who was unprepared on the ground. "Stop!"
The elf princess standing aside felt a surge of determination in her heart, and she stood in front of Victoria without hesitation.
brush--!
However, before the magic beam that was powerful enough to destroy everything arrived, it was instantly swallowed up by a surging red mist.
In the red mist, the blood-red eyes flashed with anger and determination, as if responding to the cruel behavior of the Elf King.
boom--!
Next, there was a scene where the Elf King flew out suddenly like a leaf blown by strong wind.
The red mist rolled, sweeping towards the Elf King with unstoppable force.
The Elf King rolled several times in the air and steadied his body. Looking at the red mist that seemed to swallow him completely, he did not run away again.
He stood there quietly, with madness and hatefulness in his eyes.
"Come, kill me"
"It would be nice to die at the hands of a little foodie"
Bang-!
The Elf King was answered by the terrifying red fog, which was like a giant beast and swallowed up the Elf King in an instant.
The red mist dissipated, leaving only the Elf King's broken body.
However, the next second, the destroyed half of the Elf King's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the injured body recovered again.
The Elf King lowered his head, looked at his intact palm, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's no use?"
Above the sky, the terrifying red fog gradually twisted and finally turned into Ye Yan's appearance.
"Yan'er——"
Before she died, Victoria, lying on the ground with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, looked at the child in the sky, her eyes full of guilt and reluctance.
She, as a mother, never did anything for her children until her death.
"That's not a little foodie..."
The Elf Princess nearby saw what Victoria was thinking and explained.
"Little Foodie is still under the Ancient Tree of Life. What appears now is only a part of Little Foodie."
"You can understand it as above the clone and below the original body."
"Yes, is that so..."
Victoria lowered her eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
Although she could see Yan'er before death, she hoped that he could live happily and carefree instead of bearing the pain and responsibilities that did not belong to him.
"I'm sorry, Yan'er, Mommy can't accompany you anymore..."
"What is it?"
The Elf Princess' voice was filled with unquestionable firmness.
She picked up the seriously injured Victoria, waved her hands quickly, and the healing technique flowed out like water. The warm light wrapped around Victoria's body, trying to save her dying life.
"You should know this."
The Elf Princess' eyes flashed with determination. She stared at Victoria and continued:
"The Little Foodie's clone can't kill the Elf King at all."
"We need you to come with me and kill the Elf King."
"For the sake of the elves, you can't die!"
Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Victoria's heart.
She knew that what the Elf Princess said was true.
Although the Little Foodie's clone is powerful, it is obviously not enough to completely destroy the almost immortal Elf King.
And Victoria herself...
"I, I, am dying..."
Victoria's voice was weak and trembling, and her eyes revealed deep despair.
Others may not understand, but she knows it very well.
The beam of light that penetrated her body was no ordinary thing, but contained the power of the law that devoured life force.
The vitality in her body was rapidly drying up like a drained river.
She could feel that the fire of her life was gradually extinguished. (End of this chapter)
