Chapter 427 - The Grudges Between Elves

-----

The fight between Edward and Lucia suddenly reached an unexpected course of events as the Moonlight Elf suddenly unleashed a powerful aura of venom and poison! As her life was threatened and she couldn't find a way out of the situation she found herself in, she decided to unleash her truest power in an attempt at surviving! Gaia, the Divine Spirit of Earth, and Nature was summoned by Edward to help him deal with the powerful Lucia.

Edward had changed as a man, as he had evolved after acquiring he wondrous power of cosmic energy, his entire body suddenly awakened his old lineage and bloodline, as he discovered that he seemed to be way more than he even thought he was. There was certainly something that his parents had not told him about his own powers and his ability to easily bring spirits to help.

He was not a mere elf, but possessed a special bloodline, the bloodline of the spiritualists of the Universe capable of calling the elemental spirits across many planets, capable of even speaking with the divine spirits and asking for their aid, those who had given birth to all other elemental spirits themselves! He did not know the details yet, but he was sure that whatever bloodline he belonged to, it might be a very rare and powerful bloodline of elves across all the galaxies, if not the entire universe.

And what he didn't knew either was that within the confines of this galaxy, in a beautiful world dominated by verdant green forests and an enormous tree that led to the skies where a massive white castle rested atop its branches, an elven man sitting over a throne made of gold suddenly opened his eyes, after being in a calm slumber for dozens of years. His eyes shone brightly with colorful spiritual power, as his entire soul exuded the power of a divine aura.

"The bastard son of my sister has awakened his powers? He… summoned a divine spirit at such a young age?! I cannot put a blind eye on this anymore…" He said as his eyes were filled with a cold killing intent. "I cannot let him live any longer, or the ancestors will come to reprimand me for leaving him be… A half-blood like him had already lived enough!"

The man slowly stood out of his throne, as he looked at his surroundings with eyes filled with spiritual colors, his soul emanated a strong aura of spirits, as several spirits, if not thousands of them flew around the entire castle, doing all sorts of chores for him…

"Spirit King!"

"The Spirit King has woken up!"

"Our lord, what do you wish to do now?"

"Do you desire to see how your descendants are doing?"

"No… Gather the troops, we must quickly move towards the direction I have detected. We cannot let this half-blood use the powers of our divine bloodline so leisurely…"

Without realizing it, Edward had suddenly triggered an enormous event that would occur in the future, as the Spirit King, the King of all Elves in the entire Galaxy suddenly lose his patience. For elves, it was already a sacrilege to make half-bloods with lesser bloodlines, but one that could wield the divine bloodline and even call forth the power of divine spirits? That was a sin to their prideful race!

As Edward confronted Lucia with Gaia, the Spirit King began to move… However, as he was too concentrated into the battle, his foresight-like abilities that he sometimes showed to have to see through dangers in the near future did not activated, as his instincts were ringing alarms already against the Moonlight Elf in front of him

A woman who had embraced the power of venom and poison to the level that even her own soul was pure poison… Edward knew very little about Moonlight Elves aside from them having white hair and pink-colored skin. But from what he had investigated, they were a race of stealthy assassins, often considered "lesser elves" by many of the higher hierarchies of elves, who are often chased away from whenever they try to settle down in a planet, and therefore, they ended gathering into small clans that serve under certain powerful figures or organizations in the universe for protection.

A race of elves once said to have committed a "grave sin" as one of their ancestors assassinated a former ancient spirit king, and the entire moonlight elven race was catalogued as assassins. Despite being born innocent, they carried the burden of their murderous ancestors, and were raised to become assassins, to be abhorred and hated by people across the universe, and to be seen as only beings that could kill others and were nasty, tricky, and evil by nature.

Because of this, the once noble Moonlight Elves that lived bathing in the light of the moon of their original planet, which was invaded by the Spiritual Elves, the divine race descendants of the first Spirit King, became despised assassins, thieves, rogues, and the freest of them all ended turning into treasure hunters, although they were cursed to never have a home planet ever again, nor a place they could truly call home.

Like this the Moonlight elves were forced since children to be ruthless, cold-hearted, and evil by nature, bloodthirsty assassins that were also brainwashed to become drones for their masters, that would do anything for them, if their master even requested them to kill themselves, or if they requested them to kill their families, they would do so, as this was what they were now, merely servants that could not say "no" to their masters.

The curse that the Spirit Elves put the Moonlight Elves into was of course not unknown by the Moonlight Elves, who secretly despised the Spiritual Elves and their descendant races such as High Elves and Light Elves. Despite all she was, Lucia despised them the most, and seeing one of them almost defeat her pathetically filled her with fury…
