Chapter 238 - 146: Mythical Dark Elf!? What an Overwhelming Presence! [Forbidden Fruit]

Chapter 238: Chapter 146: Mythical Dark Elf!? What an Overwhelming Presence! [Forbidden Fruit]

"What a huge Elf!"

Liu Xue and Ye Lingxi were just as astonished as Su Xuan. It was the first time any of them had seen an Elf that was five to six meters tall.

They had thought an Elf like Hong Lian, who stood at two meters, was already exceptionally rare.

But with the appearance of this Dark Elf, the others instantly seemed as petite as children.

Moreover!

Su Xuan was also surprised to find that the Dark Elf’s silver-gray skin emitted a faint fluorescent glow, twinkling in the darkness like stars in the night sky.

Her attire was also different from the other Dark Elves; she was wrapped from head to toe in white bandages, covering every inch of her skin.

This was understandable, as there was likely no clothing in a suitable size for her to wear.

Additionally, her long, pointed ears drooped down her back like a rabbit’s, making one want to reach out and give them a pinch...

"Guests from afar, welcome to the Dark Forbidden Forest. I am Paslo, leader of these Dark Elves." The towering Dark Elf slowly walked up to Su Xuan and introduced herself.

Just then, information about Paslo appeared in Su Xuan’s vision.

[Paslo (Myth)]

Level: 94 (?/?)

Race: Dark Elf

Power: ? / Agility: ? / Magic Power: ? / Physique: ?

Growth: 15 (Gains 15 points to All Attributes per Level up)

Skills: (Expand)

Traits: [?][?]

Status: [Withered](?)

’Level 94?’

Su Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw Paslo’s Level.

’I can’t believe the leader of the Dark Elves is only a step away from becoming a Demigod!’

’If she could ascend to Demigod Level and return to the Elf Race, wouldn’t that mean the Elves would have two Demigod-level powerhouses?’

Looking at the [Withered] in her Status, Su Xuan understood it was likely related to the injuries Niru and the others had mentioned.

As for the question mark in the parentheses, he guessed he might need to fulfill certain conditions to acquire the [Withered] Trait.

’But I still don’t get it. How did this Elf get so big?’

’The pressure she gives off is immense... Good thing I don’t have megalophobia!’

"Su Xuan," he said, clearing his throat.

"My name is Liu Xue."

"I... I’m Ye Lingxi."

Paslo slowly crouched down to meet Su Xuan’s gaze, her voice gentle. "Thank you for rescuing Niru and the others from the Dark Prison of the Elf Kingdom."

The moment she finished speaking, the surrounding Dark Elves showed expressions of disbelief.

"They actually escaped from the Dark Prison?"

"How is that possible? Can anyone really escape from that place?"

"Since they were able to bring Niru and the others here, it must be true. Besides, Lady Paslo would never lie to us!"

"It’s incredible! These humans are definitely not simple!"

"It looks like there’s a Half-Dragon-man among them. Could they be citizens of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?"

"..."

The Dark Elves buzzed with discussion, utterly shocked that Su Xuan and his party could rescue Niru from the Dark Prison.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan’s gaze was fixed on Paslo, who was crouched before him.

Her massive frame made for an exceptionally spectacular view.

’If she were a normal height, her Power would probably be on par with the Elf Queen.’

’But since Paslo is five meters tall, her intimidating presence surpasses even the Elf Queen!’

"You..."

Paslo also stared intently at Su Xuan. After a moment of silence, she asked, "You have received the blessing of the Elf Mother Tree before, haven’t you?"

Hearing this, another commotion erupted among the surrounding Dark Elves.

"He’s actually received the Elf Mother Tree’s blessing?"

"Is that true?"

"Why would a human receive the blessing of the Elf Mother Tree?"

"..."

In response to the Dark Elves’ confusion, Su Xuan answered calmly, "Yes, that did happen."

Paslo remained composed upon hearing his answer. She glanced at Liu Xue and Ye Lingxi before her eyes returned to Su Xuan.

She said softly, "We have an important ceremony to conduct soon, so I cannot have you stay long. To express my gratitude, I would like to give you a gift..."

As she spoke, Paslo reached her hand between the snow-white bandages and fumbled around for a few moments.

Su Xuan watched the entire process. Although the white bandages did a good job of concealing her body from view, for some reason, he felt that it was a little...

Ahem.

"Found them~"

Just then, Paslo pulled three dark green fruits from between the white bindings and handed one to Su Xuan and his companions.

"These are fruits unique to the Dark Forbidden Forest. They have magical properties."

"Thank you."

The three of them accepted the dark green fruits, and relevant information immediately appeared in their vision.

[Forbidden Fruit (Elite): Upon consumption, temporarily gain a 100% boost to All Attributes (30 min). Afterward, you will enter a weakened state (5h).]

Of course, the information Liu Xue and Ye Lingxi saw was slightly different from what appeared in Su Xuan’s vision.

[Acquired Rare Trait—Forbidden Fruit!]

Seeing the new Trait, Su Xuan became thoughtful.

’[Forbidden Fruit of Seven-Color Rainbow Light]?’

Just then, Paslo asked Su Xuan, "Is she doing well?"

Su Xuan fell silent for a few seconds upon hearing the question.

He knew the ’she’ Paslo was referring to was the Elf Queen.

The Elf Queen had once said that her only friend had left the Elf Race to become the leader of the Dark Elves. That person had to be Paslo, standing before him now.

"She’s doing well."

"Her wicked thoughts... have they been successfully suppressed?"

"Yes, they’ve been suppressed." Su Xuan nodded. ’It took a tremendous amount of effort to suppress the Elf Queen’s wicked thoughts!’

"That’s good to hear."

Paslo finally seemed to let go of her worries, a smile appearing on her face.

She stood up and bid farewell to Su Xuan’s party.

"We shall meet again, guests from afar."

"Goodbye."

With that, Su Xuan and the others mounted their Griffins and left the Dark Forbidden Forest.

After they departed, Paslo turned to the other Dark Elves and said, "Dark Elves, continue to grow stronger! Make thorough preparations for the coming war!"

"Yes, Lady Paslo!"

...

After Su Xuan returned the Griffins, he, Liu Xue, and Ye Lingxi prepared to part ways.

"Su Xuan, this is for you."

As they had agreed, Ye Lingxi handed 50 Gold Coins and a Magic Scroll to Su Xuan.

"Okay."

Su Xuan nodded and put the items away.

As he did, his gaze lingered on the Magic Scroll for a moment, and its information instantly appeared before his eyes.
