Chapter 457 Interrogating the Demonic Elf

The elf wasn't shocked because his identity got revealed by the enemy. He wasn't also shocked by how the enemy overpowered him easily. Those numbers are quite high in this realm. noVE-lB.1n

He just couldn't comprehend the fact that Mark crushed him to the ground using Gravity Dome.

As Mark tried to interrogate him, the elf named Elinder roared back with a look of shock and anger on his face, "How in the hell you acquired this power? There is no way you can control the gravitational force unless you are from the Void realm. But, you clearly look different from him."

"Void realm?" Mark didn't understand what this elf was spouting. He heard of the Void Temple but never heard of this Void Realm. Maybe, it is where the Void Dragons are available? With the cores of these dragons, the system made the upgrade crystals.

However, Elinder's words made one thing clear. There's someone who can also control the gravity.

Well, since the system listed the Gravity attribute in the store, it should be possible someone had this attribute in this infinite universe. And perhaps, Void Realm is like some other earth in some plane of existence.

Or so, Mark thought and threw away those useless thoughts in a jiffy, putting his focus on his immediate goal.

Consuming another 20% of his ether energy, he summoned one more Ice Spear in his hand and then spoke while almost touching the elf's right eye with it, "I'm the one who asks the questions, not you. Now, I will ask you a question one after another and when I do, I expect every answer from you within five seconds, or else, you are going to die. Understand?"

As the elf stared at him with fear written on his face, Mark further reduced the gravity to 50g and asked, "Where can I find your direct superior who you will answer and follow the orders?"

The elf quickly answered while panting like a dog, "Osyhlona City. His name is Kragen."

"Good." Mark let out a smile and went to the next question, "Second, who is the leader of you guys, the corrupted elves, and what about his/her cultivation level?"

With his heart rate at its peak, Elinder replied quickly once again, this time lengthy explanation, "Eol, the Great. He is our king, the one who freed us from the evil Ixitus Empire. He is a supreme being (peak-9-circle). However, the one who you have to worry about is not him. It is Prime Minister Vexiron.

From what I know, he is of a superior race called the Makyan with origins in the Void realm and atleast has the cultivation level of a demigod. He can control gravity just like you, but on a large scale and with more power.

Because of them, we were liberated from the royal family. And I received the power of death, which is even superior to necromancy."

"Hmm... A demigod, eh?" Mark's lips curled up beneath his suit. He felt like he doesn't have to worry anymore, contrary to what the elf has expected. Now, he was just wondering what else he can find out from this guy.

However, Elinder thought that Mark who stayed like a statue was in deep thinking. The elf was under the impression that he successfully intimidated the enemy or atleast, make him distract for a moment.

Intending to take the enemy by surprise, Elinder closed his eyes and concentrated on his ether energy.

Since his ether energy was being suppressed by this invisible pressure, he was thinking about expelling all of it to repel every force on his body. He was sure that the undead energy will surely hurt the opponent and he could use this time to escape.

And just in about five seconds, dark-colored energy erupted from the elf and suddenly struck Mark, who was standing just a few inches away. The ice spear that was threatening the life of the elf was corrupted by the dark energy and started dissolving.

However, to the surprise of the elf, his body didn't move an inch from the spot. The force was clearly not enough to physically hurt Mark's body which has more than 9 points of strength and has a highly durable suit equipped.

Unlike the toxic gases, the energy couldn't invade his body. However, the suit wasn't completely immune to the corrosive nature of the undead energy.

Once again, Mark received a notification as the suit started melting down.

<nullb>*Ding! Exo Skeleton's suit-VIII's durability is being reduced by 1% for every 60 seconds. Estimated time for the complete meltdown: 10 minutes.

<nullb>*Ding! The host could nullify the debuff on the suit with a purification stone. Purchase and apply for 50,000 credits?

"Do it," screamed Mark in his head before leaving the Ice spear and growling, "Maximum."

The gravitational force in the gravity dome increased to 200g instantly, forcing the elf to get crushed back to the ground.

"Arghhh..." Elinder, whose ether energy reserves became empty, could no longer be able to resist the effect of increased gravitational force.

His blood vessels ruptured; his vital organs were damaged, including his heart and brain; his skeleton couldn't bear the pressure for a longer time. The sounds of breaking were heard, although, by that time, the elf's life was already gone.

All the undead beasts connected to him and were currently had their bones broken into dozens of pieces just turned into specks of dust at the same time. Only the frozen undead dragon was still alive, but the red glow in its eyes turned white.

"Okay, done." Mark went to the next step.

"Open, Orb of Bael"

The holographic screen with an illustration of a tea kettle appeared before his eyes. Below the image, there is a clickable option with the word, "absorb."

Mark clicked on it.

In the next second, the elf's soul in the form of a wisp escaped his corpse and flew into the screen as the lid of the kettle opened. Before, it used to be a circle showing the percentage, but Wil requested the system to change the appearance as it seemed a bit boring.

Once the soul was absorbed by the system's function, 'Orb of Bael', the kettle is seen as only 45% filled.

<nulli>"Only 45%? He is a legendary realm expert though," Mark was just about to blame the system for purposely making things harder for him. However, before he did that, the system surprisingly had given him the reply on its own.

<nullb>*Ding! Elinder's soul is corrupted. Mind I remind the host that the percentage depends on not just the strength of the soul but also its purity?

"Ah, that's right." Mark suddenly felt like he had become dumb. Even earlier, he was too careless and the result was the loss of 50,000 credits, i.e. 250,000 gold coins. Not just that, he even lost 28 days of life force from his body.

For what? Nothing...

He might have gotten some Intel on the enemy and gotten to use the Staff of Blessing, but still, it didn't make him feel any better even when he tried to convince himself.

It was then his eyes fell on the undead beast that couldn't escape the frozen state but still isn't dying either.

"Hmm... how about...?"

A thought came to his mind and he immediately opened the skills section with a smirk on his face, "That toxic gas released by this beast is something worth researching."

He proceeded to click on the "Taming" skill.

<nullb>*Ding! Proceed to lock onto the target?
