Chapter 613 - 612: Dralo

Chapter 613: Chapter 612: Dralo

"Ahh, how exhilarating..."

Keith’s head snapped back into place as he stretched out his hand.

Crack!

A skull was shattered as he caught an arrow. Then he moved.

Bang!

He appeared in front of an elf who had already drawn her bow. He stabbed the arrowhead into her eye socket, and she instantly died.

Swish!

Swish!

Keith disappeared as multiple arrows appeared, stabbing into the tree.

"Ah..."

"Go away..."

"No..."

Screams appeared shortly after as, one after the other, the elves fell and died, their bodies trembling.

Now Keith had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen when....

Keith’s leg was caught once more by the tree roots. He broke free, but arrows were already inches from him.

Stab!

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!

Keith was turned into a hedgehog as his body was covered with arrows, yet he was not truly hurt.

He removed the arrows.

Thk!

They fell and hit the ground under the shocked gaze of everyone present.

Keith clenched his fist as the air exploded around him. He took a sharp breath as he drew back his fist, and like a piston...

Bang!

A shockwave was instantly generated as the air burned, and the tens of kilometers in front of him were vaporized. The elves there were instantly killed.

Yet the arrows never stopped as more and more elves appeared.

Keith danced between them as he killed them one after the other, sucking them dry and turning them into mummies. But the trees seemed to have awakened as he was suddenly hit.

Pah!

The sound was heard as the scales around Keith’s back were instantly shattered, causing him to pause.

The branch of the nearby tree was like a whip as it struck again. This time, Keith directly grabbed the branch and tore it from the tree, but multiple branches lashed out.

Keith crossed his arms as blood dripped from his hands, which were almost shattered just now.

Keith looked around. The elves he could see seemed to have disappeared as the tree covered them.

Swish!

An arrow came out, and even if Keith could hear it, he couldn’t even see it. It seemed to be coming through the trees, and the next moment—

Plop!

It entered his skull as Keith froze.

Was this their plan?

It seemed the elves could control nature. Was this their Element?

Keith was calm. Maybe against another person this would seem impossible, but against Keith, who had the Blood Element, he knew exactly where they were.

Keith moved as the air compressed and then exploded in a loud sonic boom as he reached out to grab an elf. But just then, the leaves covered his vision as multiple branches moved quietly, whipping toward him.

Keith retreated with a frown.

This...

Keith moved once more, targeting another elf, but once again, the trees saved her.

Then her.

Then her.

Keith was moving, turning into a blur as the sonic boom echoed, blowing the surrounding trees and almost uprooting them. But alas, he never touched any of the elves, and he was getting stabbed by arrows more and more. The trees were also hitting him, their attacks so great that they could actually shatter his scales.

Finally, Keith stopped as he took a deep breath.

If that was how they wanted to play it, then let’s play it.

Keith opened his hands, and the instant he did, all the elves’ hearts jumped as a blinding, deep red light appeared around him. Then, the surrounding energy converged into it as a small attack was seen.

Then it rapidly expanded to be more than twenty kilometers in diameter.

The swirling energy released a pressure that caused the ground to sink as the elves gulped.

Keith then unleashed the attack. If it landed, at least the area within this thousand-kilometer radius would be obliterated.

This was the power of a Rank 2 being.

The attack inched closer to the ground as the tall, giant trees were the first to bear it. Their bark was removed, and their leaves turned from their vibrant green color to yellow.

Their branches withered and were destroyed as the elves were next.

They were filled with fear, but just then...

"Leave it to me."

A calm male voice was heard, and then the attack seemed to have hit a blockage as it stopped. Then, it dispersed into sparse light particles as Keith’s eyes widened.

A Rank 2 aura pressed down on him as an elf like no other appeared.

He was tall, almost two and a half meters tall, dwarfing the other elves. He wore green, light armor that covered his entire body. His two pointy ears had two distinct rings that seemed to suck in the surrounding energy.

And at his back was a long sword, sheathed and crossed over his shoulders.

He was handsome and had slightly bluish eyes.

Seeing him, the elves were excited and retreated like he said, shocking Keith.

"Who are you?" Keith couldn’t help but ask. He could feel a sense of crisis from this new being who walked forward as he came closer to Keith.

"Me?"

The being spoke calmly.

"Dralo, the one who will be your end."

The male elf spoke calmly as he stopped a meter from Keith and then grabbed the handle and raised his sword ever so lightly.

Click!

The sword sound reached the surrounding as time seemed to slow down, while a claw was already inches from his eyes.

"Huh?"

Keith was spooked as he touched only the air. Dralo was nowhere to be found.

Then he felt something hard touch his spine.

Bam!

Keith vomited blood instantly as he felt his insides were directly destroyed. He gritted his teeth as he tried to control the blood of Dralo, but it was like giant titanium metal. It didn’t budge.

Pah!

A slap.

Keith felt the world spin around for a bit as his face slammed onto the ground.

Dralo calmly dragged his sword across the ground as he approached Keith, who was stunned, feeling the throbbing pain on his cheeks.
