Chapter 520 It's gone
Samara erupted into laughter at Kyle's words, the sound resonating like a sweet melody that startled every elf who had been taken aback after discovering that the man they aimed to safeguard was not one of their own.
The elven Queen's expression shifted to one of pure bewilderment and astonishment. It took her a few moments to grasp that the individual she had just pledged to protect was a human... not an elf?
How could this be possible?
According to the countless history books she had studied, the tree of fate had only ever bestowed its fruit upon the elves.
The demon's eyes sparkled with interest as they gazed at the human. Now that he was not an elf, they wondered if the elven Queen would still go to such lengths to protect him. Samara suppressed her laughter and extended her hand towards Kyle with a wide, menacing grin.
After finding out that the man was human, she realized he needed to protect himself. So, the best way for the man to come out unharmed from this situation, where many powerful demons and elves surrounded him from all sides, was to give the fruit away.
"Pretty human, you possess good judgment. Give me the fruit, and I will ensure no demon dares to harm you."
The elven Queen's eyes contracted. She was determined not to allow the demons to take the fruit, as it would have negative consequences for the whole elven planet's future. But before she or any of the elves could say anything, Kyle withdrew his hand from under Samara's eager gaze, and then the fruit disappeared from his hand as he tossed it into his mind space.
A look of innocence crossed his face as Samara's expression darkened with angry veins flaring around her forehead, and he gestured towards her with his empty hand.
"Oops, I don't want to. Why don't you come and retrieve it? I might consider giving it to you if you... you know, plead a bit?"
He even made a pinching gesture with his thumb and middle finger in front of her to underline his words, and his eyes gleamed because he promptly witnessed the reaction he desired.
In a instant, Samara's anger exploded, and she vanished from her spot.
The elves tried to stop her, but before anyone could intervene, she forcefully slammed her entire weight into the barrier surrounding Kyle.
"You bastard! Do you think you can hide inside the barrier forever!? No! And believe me, I will make sure you face hell once the barrier shatters. Haha."
She let out a menacing crackle before an angry scream escaped her mouth, echoing through the entire planet. After a few seconds, she glanced at the elves and mumbled under her breath.
"It's because of all of you that I can't break through now... yes, it's because of all of you that he ran away."
"I, Samara, will make sure all of you understand what it means to be deprived of something you desire so much!"
She flapped her wings behind her back, and an angry shout escaped her mouth.
"Kill them all!"
In a flash, the demons hovering behind her all lunged at the elves. The battle raged on, and the air filled with the smell of blood and metal as even the supreme-rank individuals exerted their full force to defeat opponents of equal rank.
The elven Queen's gaze turned grave at the scene. She drew her weapon, and alongside her shadow, the duo faced off against Samara to protect the innocent citizens under the Tree of Fate.
The air exploded with raw power, but after a day of non-stop fighting, a sudden stillness settled over the elven planet.
The white-haired elven woman wiped the blood oozing from her mouth and raised her head to look at the sky where a crack appeared. She narrowed her eyes and muttered quietly to herself.
"I can't seem to gauge the strength of the person who is entering the planet. It's someone extremely powerful..."
The elven Queen pushed Samara aside and glanced up to follow the white-haired elven woman's gaze. Her body stiffened as she saw a male figure dressed in skin-toned attire emerge from the crack.
The man watched the intense battle between the elves and demons with his piercing blue eyes. His gaze briefly flickered towards Samara's frantic figure before he vanished from his spot, only to reappear above the very branch where the fruit of fate had blossomed just a day earlier.
A deep voice resonated from his lips.
"It's gone."
