Chapter 456 Battle with the Demonic Elf

Earth 486, the world of Elves;

Ixitus Empire;

As Mark's robotic army gets busy massacring every undead creature on the ground, he went on in a staring contest against the corrupted elf and his undead dragon. Or atleast, that's what it appeared in Zan Rong's view.

The elf was trying to gauge Mark's strength but he couldn't sense anything. Obviously, Mark cannot be a mortal when he was seen flying even with wearing some kind of armor. Hence, the elf was sure that it is a formidable foe and this excited him instead of getting him worried.

Meanwhile, Mark was reading all the information displayed on the floating holographic screen in front of his eyes.

The guy is named Elendir and he was supposed to be a 7-circle realm Spirit Warrior. However, due to the corruption by the demonic souls that merged with his, the cultivation was raised to the 8-circle realm.

As for the undead dragon, it was a Red Drake of 6-circle-realm. The elf killed the beast and turned it into an undead by sharing some of his demonic energy. It lost its skin and organs in the process but had its strength rise to the next realm.

A purple-colored sphere was seen behind its ribcage and one could only kill it by destroying this energy sphere. Until then, the undead kept on coming back to its previous state no matter how many times it gets destroyed.

Mark, however, wasn't that concerned about it or its master. Since he's more like an undead elf, he felt like he doesn't need to hold back or anything. Not to mention, without making any sacrifices (killing the people and absorbing their souls), he cannot summon the demon either.

Hence, Mark decided to go with a big attack. Shifting the Staff of Blessing to his left hand, Mark then stretched his right hand forward and conjured a Spear made of Ice.

His hand could feel nothing but the elf could sense how cold the ice in his opponent's hand is. He summoned a low-quality semi-divine bow (Diamond grade) and conjured the arrow made of dark energy, not intending to just check out his power anymore.

He quickly fired it before Mark get to release the ice spear. The latter saw it but instead of dodging or making any counterattack, he tightly grabbed the spear and flew forward, taking the elf by surprise.

The arrow made of dark energy reached Mark and struck his chest. However, it didn't pierce the suit and just bounced off after its tip was broken into pieces.

The elf's face hardened and he ordered the undead dragon to attack while he closed his eyes and started conjuring another energy arrow which has higher deposits of dark energy.

Meanwhile, the Undead Dragon opened its mouth and breathes out a noxious dense cloud, covering a large area like a thick fog.

Mark, however, didn't face any problem due to the suit's enhanced vision and he continued to fly straight into that cloud, keeping his confidence in high resistance points.

Once he entered the cloud, the toxic gases in the surroundings entered his body through his nose and attacked his insides.

Mark didn't feel anything and didn't think too much about the cloud for the next few seconds until he receive a sudden notification from the system.

*Ding! You received a debuff. Resistance activated. Your life force is being drained by 1 day per every second.

"What the..." Mark quickly changed his path as soon as he saw the notification on the holographic screen floating before him when he was about halfway to exiting the cloud. n/-0velb1n

He quickly changed his path and flew higher, escaping the cloud.

*Ding! Estimated time until all the gas disappears: 28 seconds.

"Damn it..." Mark gritted his teeth in anger. His arms bulged and his veins popped up under the suit as he tightly grabbed the spear even more. Criticizing himself for underestimating a weakling, he threw the Ice Spear.

The Ice Spear cut through the noxious cloud like lightning and made its way toward the elven warrior, who was almost at the end of completing the skill.

The Undead Dragon let out a breath of dark energy to counterattack the Spear, but the Ice Spear was unstoppable. Within a couple of seconds, the Ice Spear struck the undead beast's head and froze it just as the elf finished conjuring the arrow.

As the undead dragon was frozen in ice and started falling toward the ground, the elf leaped high from its back and aimed at Mark. The arrow appeared to be far more powerful than the past one. The energy was quite dense and corrosive.

*Ding! Incoming attack. The undead energy is highly corrosive to the extent of melting down the suit as long as it was given enough time.

Mark didn't get the time to read everything. But, thankfully, he was filled with so much anger that he decided not to give any opportunity for his energy to attack.

The moment he released the Ice Spear, Mark already opened the skills window and went on to click another skill.

"Gravity Dome, 200g, Activate"

Upon unleashing the Gravity Dome, every creature in his 1000-meter range, apart from his robot soldiers that are augmented by the Staff of Blessing, were found stuck onto the ground. The only thing that was resisting the effect is the Divine throne that was in the form of an aircraft floating in the sky.

The elf wasn't able to fire the Arrow of Death as the external gravitational force pushed him to the ground and pressed him hard.

Only then did Mark finally read the notification from the system and sighed in a bit of relief that he made the right decision. He then proceeded to land on the ground and started walking toward the elf while his life force continued to slip away at a slow pace.

"So, Mr. Elinder of the Fireheart clan, I have questions for you," said Mark as he crouched nearby the elf and looked at him coldly. He was trying his best to not kill the enemy, feeling like the information is worth his patience. After reducing the gravity from 200g to 100g so that the elf could answer, Mark then spoke, "Let's start with the strength of your leader and his location."

The elf's eyes widened and his pupils dilated while his voice quivered as he responded, "How?"
