Chapter 523 What is this thing...? A bug?
Instantly, another fight between the elves and demons erupted in mid-air, but with Samara's absence, the elves started to overpower the demons. The elven Queen glanced at the white-haired woman beside her amidst the battle and whispered softly.
"Go to the Sacred Divine Land. Locate that human and secure the fruit of fate from him before the first shadow general or Samara catches him. I don't want the fruit to end up in the wrong hands."
The old white-haired elven woman halted briefly but then released a sigh.
"No, my Queen, let's just leave the fruit be. The tree has bestowed it upon that human, and I believe there's a purpose behind it. Now it's up to the human to decide whether to consume it or to pass it on."
She glanced at the elven Queen.
"I have never opposed you before, and this is the first time I am requesting something. I understand it's challenging to let go of something so valuable, but..."
"... I believe this time the fruit was never meant for our race."
The elven Queen went quiet for a moment after hearing the woman, then she patted the old woman's shoulder with a nod.
"Alright, I will honor your request this time. No need to chase after that human. Let that young man carry the burden of owning such a powerful treasure."
But in that moment, only the Tree of Fate was aware that these simple words saved the life of the white-haired elven woman, and the future of the elven race underwent a significant transformation. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

After Kyle reached the Sacred Divine Land, he cursed as his body plunged into a pool of warm water, and an unfamiliar warmth spread over his extremely cold body. He hissed at the feeling and quickly jumped out of the water.
Immediately, he clicked his tongue in irritation as his clothes became soaked. Glancing around, he noticed numerous lush and large green trees encircling the lake where he had landed.
He murmured a spell and manipulated the air around him to quickly dry his clothes within seconds. A grin appeared at the corner of his lips as he remembered what he had just done a while ago.
He pondered for a moment, and an evil gleam flickered in his eyes. Now that he thought about it, isn't this tiny bug actually a creature crafted from spiritual energy?
"Should I consume it?"
The light quivered as it felt the covetous eyes fixed on its form, and for the first time, a mystical spirit began to regret its decision to approach a human from whom it had sensed a "Should I consume it?"
The light quivered as it felt the covetous eyes fixed on its form, lovely fragrance.
Yes, it had sensed an otherworldly fragrance coming from Kyle's body, which was almost akin to nature itself, leading it to approach the human quickly.
But... little did it know that this would be its last choice, as the human appeared determined to consume it. The spirit let out a deep breath and accepted its fate, as it really didn't want to release the human now that it had touched his body, emitting a calm and comforting coldness.
Kyle noticed the trembling light clinging to his finger and clicked his tongue because it seems the bug understood his words. He gripped the light with two fingers and forcefully detached it from his skin before gazing at it. However, as he performed this action, a faint sense of nostalgia washed over his body, almost as if he had once picked up a familiar small creature with his two fingers... He furrowed his brows but, unfortunately, couldn't recall the form of the creature even after pondering for a few seconds, so he pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
"Now that I have got myself a little buddy, it wouldn't be right to consume you, so... do you wanna stick around, little one? You can have your meals when I'm eating, and I won't let any small animal snack on you."
"Sound good?"
The mystical spirit body brightened up at his words, and Kyle raised his brow as he confirmed his thoughts. The bug can really understand his words. He naturally wanted to place the light on his head but paused midway with a strange expression.
'What am I doing?'
Kyle let out a sigh and instead placed the spirit on his right shoulder.
Then he watched as the light instantly snuggled closer to his body... only if anyone knew he encountered a mystical spirit right after entering the Sacred Divine Land, their jaws would drop because finding a mystical spirit is extremely rare.
After all, mystical spirits tend to hide whenever they sense any presence nearby. But fortunately or unfortunately, no one was around Kyle to know about it.
