Chapter 483 - 321: Super Rare Trait [Widow]! The Elf Queen is So Crucial

Chapter 483: Chapter 321: Super Rare Trait [Widow]! The Elf Queen is So Crucial

The Guild’s development seemed to have hit a bottleneck. Progress was stalled, whether on breakthrough missions or the special quest to raise the Guild’s Level.

After mulling it over, Su Xuan decided to take Rosaline and head back to the cave where Mira Orri was sealed.

"The rest of you can relax at the Guild. Rosaline, you’re with me." After giving the order, Su Xuan left the Guild with Rosaline.

"Free to do what we want?"

Hearing Su Xuan’s instructions, Ivsha and the others exchanged confused glances.

Even though he’d given them free time, they honestly didn’t know what to do while Su Xuan was away.

Just then, Lucia stood up and made a suggestion. "It’s been so hot lately. Why don’t we go for a swim?"

Ivsha immediately chimed in. "That’s a great idea! I don’t think anyone has tried the new outdoor pool yet. We should go pick out some cute swimsuits and give Mr. Su Xuan a surprise~"

"Agreed!"

"I’m in!"

...

With a flash of white light from the Teleportation Array, Su Xuan and Rosaline arrived at the border of the Elf Kingdom.

The moment he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, Su Xuan noticed that the number of Elves at the border was several times greater than before.

’Looks like the final battle is approaching...’ Su Xuan thought, a shadow of worry crossing his mind as he surveyed the border.

Even with two layers of security in place, he couldn’t shake a certain indescribable sense of unease.

Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, a familiar voice shattered the silence. "Su Xuan? What are you doing here?"

He turned to see Hong Lian approaching with a smile.

"Hong Lian? What are you doing here?" Su Xuan asked, surprised.

Hong Lian smiled. "Things at the Guild have mostly been wrapped up, and our quest board is clear. I heard the situation at the Elf Kingdom’s border was getting tense, so I volunteered to help guard it. And you? What brings you here?"

’So your guild has nothing going on lately, either?’ Su Xuan muttered to himself upon hearing her words.

The Immortal Consort Guild’s situation seemed similar to his own. Both had their progress stalled by the requirements for leveling up the Guild.

This made him intensely curious about the special quest required to become an A-Level Guild. ’Just how difficult could it be?’

After a moment’s thought, Su Xuan explained his current task to Hong Lian. "We’re helping the Elf Kingdom deal with the Undead Legion crisis."

"Oh? That’s wonderful!" Hong Lian broke into a radiant smile. "This means we can fight side-by-side again! If Azkman hears about this, he’ll be ecstatic."

"Azkman?" Su Xuan paused for a moment when he heard Hong Lian mention the name.

But he quickly recovered and asked, "The Immortal Consort Guild is joining this fight, too?"

Hong Lian smiled and threw up her hands. "Yep. The second they heard the Elf Kingdom was in trouble, they insisted on coming to help. I couldn’t have stopped them if I tried~"

"I see..."

After a brief chat, Su Xuan said goodbye to Hong Lian and immediately led Rosaline toward the cave beyond the border.

As they reached the mouth of the cave, Su Xuan suddenly stopped, pulling Rosaline back just as she was about to enter.

"What is it?" Rosaline asked, turning back to him in confusion.

"Something’s not right," Su Xuan said, his brow furrowed and his expression grim. "The Aura of Death inside the cave has gotten much denser."

He could clearly perceive that the Aura of Death emanating from the cave had changed. It was far denser than their last visit—so much so that it was almost suffocating.

?

Hearing this, Rosaline focused her gaze on the cave before them once more.

She gathered a wisp of Soul Magic Power and tentatively sent it drifting into the cave.

In an instant, however, the wisp of Soul Magic Power was enveloped by the Aura of Death and dissipated into nothing.

The sight caused Rosaline’s expression to change drastically, while Su Xuan’s face instantly grew grim.

"What in the world is going on?" Su Xuan asked in a low voice, his brow furrowed.

He could feel that the Aura of Death in the cave had mutated, becoming denser and more dangerous than before.

Not even Rosaline’s Soul Body could resist the corrosive force.

Su Xuan became extremely vigilant, scanning his surroundings.

He knew that some unknown change must have occurred inside the cave to cause the Aura of Death to transform like this.

"I think I hear something in the cave!" Rosaline suddenly alerted Su Xuan.

?

Su Xuan’s head snapped toward the depths of the cave as he activated his Half-Dragon Transformation, crimson Dragon Scales instantly covering his body.

The very instant his Half-Dragon Transformation activated, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged from the cave.

The pitch-black corpse that should have been lying motionless inside was now limping its way out.

The moment Su Xuan’s eyes met the corpse’s, his expression became utterly grim. Simultaneously, a panel displaying its information appeared in his vision:

[Death Cultist (Legendary)]

Level: 88 (?/?)

Race: Undead

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

Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points to All Attributes per Level)

Skills: (Expand)

Trait: [Widow] (Defeat this unit to obtain this trait!)

?

’This is bad!’

Su Xuan had no time to marvel at the corpse’s [Widow] trait, because it had already raised the decaying blade in its hand, poised to strike.

"I’ll hold it off! You get out of here!" Rosaline swiftly drew the Oath Sword from her waist, its blade glinting coldly as she prepared to create an opening for Su Xuan to escape.

But Su Xuan knew this was a Level 88 Legendary Undead. Not even Rosaline could hope to stand against it!

"We’re retreating!" Su Xuan made the call instantly. He swept Rosaline into his arms, spun around, and fled.

At that same moment, the Death Cultist’s corpse was enveloped in pitch-black Magic Power. Its skeletal form then transformed into a streak of dark light, shooting after Su Xuan and Rosaline like a bolt of black lightning.

’Damn it!’

Su Xuan gritted his teeth and ran with all his might, but the Death Cultist’s speed far surpassed his imagination.

In less than a few seconds, the corpse was in front of him, blocking his path.

Su Xuan was forced to a halt. He set Rosaline down, preparing to fight to the death.

However, just as the battle was about to erupt, a beam of prismatic Magic Power suddenly descended from the sky.

The light was dazzling, instantly enveloping the Death Cultist’s corpse.

In mere moments, the skeletal form blurred within the prismatic light, finally turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing into thin air.

?

Su Xuan was stunned for a second by the sudden turn of events. When he looked up, he saw a sacred, white-clad figure slowly descending.

"The Elf Queen?" Su Xuan was utterly astonished. He had never expected the Elf Queen to appear here at this very moment.

’What incredible timing!’

[Death Cultist Slain!]

[Obtained Super Rare Trait — ’Widow’!]

’This trait... is Super Rare?’

Su Xuan looked completely baffled. He couldn’t understand why a trait called ’Widow’ would be considered Super Rare.

"Are you two alright?" The Elf Queen’s voice interrupted Su Xuan’s thoughts as she landed lightly before him. ℯℯ𝑙.

"Thank you for your aid, Your Majesty!"

Su Xuan clasped his hands in a gesture of gratitude. If the Elf Queen hadn’t intervened, their chances of survival today would have been slim.

"There is no need for thanks~"

The Elf Queen shook her head slightly, her gaze shifting to where the Death Cultist had been incinerated. The corpse was gone, leaving only a single pitch-black rune behind.

She continued, "To think a cultist of Death was hiding near the border of the Elf Kingdom."

Hearing the Elf Queen’s words, Su Xuan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, are you familiar with the Goddess of Death?"

"I am."

The Elf Queen nodded slightly and began to explain in detail. "The Goddess of Death is a very particular deity. She commands the greatest number of followers. Like a plague, these cultists spread Her teachings throughout the world, casting the shadow of death over countless living beings. Legend says that the spread of death was only halted when several powerful Gods joined forces to seal Her away."

"However, the strange thing is," the Elf Queen’s voice was laced with confusion, "after the sealing was complete, the Gods who had joined forces to imprison the Goddess of Death simply vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated. Even their followers disappeared from sight, as if they had never existed at all..."
