Chapter 548 - 354: The Undead Monarch Finally Appears! The World Channel Erupts

Chapter 548: Chapter 354: The Undead Monarch Finally Appears! The World Channel Erupts

The Teleportation Gate flashed with a brilliant white light, and Su Xuan and Alina’s figures vanished from the Land of Silence.

The moment they left, Queen Medusa twisted her serpentine tail and rose from her throne.

She tilted her head back slightly, gazing at the shattered Land of Silence around her. Her right hand came to rest gently over her heart as she murmured, "I just need a little more time..."

...

"President! Wake up!"

On the battlefield, Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo were crouched beside Su Xuan, gently pushing at his body with their small hands, desperate for their President to wake up.

Seeing Su Xuan unconscious had made the two little ones so worried their eyes were red-rimmed, and their large, limpid eyes shimmered with tears!

Just a few minutes earlier, Su Xuan and Alina’s bodies had suddenly reappeared right where they had vanished.

Although their bodies had returned from the Land of Silence, their consciousness had not, and they remained unconscious.

Just as the Elves were beside themselves with worry, Su Xuan’s eyes shot open and he sat bolt upright.

This sudden "resurrection" startled the two little ones so much they nearly screamed out loud.

But their shock quickly turned to joy. Two adorable dimples appeared on their cheeks, and they excitedly threw themselves into Su Xuan’s arms.

"President! We’re so glad you’re okay!"

"Sorry to have worried you."

Su Xuan smiled and ruffled Fuli and Flora’s hair, soothing them.

"Are you hurt, Mr. Su Xuan?"

Ivsha and the others crowded around him as well, completely surrounding him.

Just then, Alina also awoke. Seeing Su Xuan surrounded by his Guild members, she muttered under her breath, "I told you I’d bring him back safely."

"What happened in there?"

Since Su Xuan was surrounded by the other women and difficult to approach, Lucia went over to Alina’s side to ask what had happened in the Land of Silence.

"We..."

Alina started to answer, but she trailed off. After a moment of thought, she replied to Lucia, "We ran into Queen Medusa, and... some things happened."

"Queen Medusa?"

Lucia mulled over Alina’s answer for a moment, then asked, "She’s still alive?"

"Not exactly ’alive.’ You could say she’s just barely clinging to life in this world." Alina stood and brushed the dust from her armor. "But even with only a flicker of life remaining, her power is terrifying. I’m afraid even a Demigod wouldn’t be a match for her."

"Did she threaten you?" Lucia pressed, her tone growing somewhat serious.

Alina knew that Lucia was really concerned about Su Xuan’s safety.

’If this Bright Pope found out Queen Medusa had bullied Su Xuan, she’d probably charge straight into the Land of Silence to take her on in a suicide attack.’

’Then again...’

Alina smiled and shrugged. "Don’t worry," she said. "We’re lucky that jerk isn’t the one bullying others."

"True enough."

Lucia didn’t seem surprised by that answer. "One last question, then. Nothing... happened between you two, did it?"

"Between us!?"

Hearing that last question, Alina’s body jolted as if struck by electricity.

But she quickly composed herself and retorted, "What do you mean by that? Why are you asking?"

"Because... you seem to have changed somehow."

After a moment’s hesitation, Lucia explained what she was sensing. "I don’t know why, but if there’s anything you want to talk about, I’m here to listen."

She said this because when Su Xuan and Alina had reappeared, their hands were tightly clasped, as if they had experienced something significant together.

While the others hadn’t paid it any mind, Lucia had keenly sensed a shift in their relationship.

In particular, there was a subtle change in the way Alina looked at Su Xuan.

"You’re reading too much into it, Your Holiness."

After a moment of silence, Alina replied to Lucia with a smile, "Nothing happened between Su Xuan and me. Don’t worry."

With that, she turned and called out to the Elves led by Yuluxi, "Mission complete! Let’s return to the main battlefield. The Queen needs our help!"

"Understood!"

Lucia stood quietly, watching as Alina led the Elves back toward the Elf Queen’s battlefield, a thousand thoughts racing through her mind.

After a long silence, she finally turned her gaze to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan was still surrounded by the women. Mare Rhine had crawled into his lap, grabbed his collar, and demanded, "Hey! Human! You went to see Queen Medusa, didn’t you? Tell me! Is she gone for good!?"

"She’s... not dead yet."

Su Xuan stood up, lifting Mare Rhine off of him and setting her on the ground.

"Huh? She’s not dead yet?"

Hearing that Queen Medusa was still alive, Mare Rhine immediately began to bite her thumb, her gaze cast downward as she plotted how to deal with her.

Su Xuan just smiled and shrugged at her reaction. His gaze shifted to the Elf Legion, which was already on the move. "We should get going, too," he said to the other Guild members.

"Yes!"

"Wonderful! It’s so great that the President is okay!"

"Let’s go help Her Majesty the Queen! Our kinsfolk need us!"

The Elf Sisters cheered, happily following Su Xuan as they ran toward the main battlefield.

Nearby, Lucia and Ivsha exchanged a look, then shared a knowing smile and fell into step behind them.

The tension and worry among the group began to fade—but Kanlutia’s expression remained grave, her mood as dark as the overcast sky.
