Novel Full Chapter 289 Moon Elf
Chapter 289 Moon Elf
”Are you planning to summon more undead, Sir?” As the Tea Demon asked, a sound suddenly resounded outside.”!!!” Someone was here!
Jack looked at the nearby Fairy, who had just come back from a round across the City. Tch— She had obviously been followed, and the Demon just had to run his mouth!
”Ah! I’ll take care of it, Sir!” The Demon bolted outside, a magical cloak of bloody darkness surrounding him.
— Clash! —
As a collision resounded, Jack hurried outside too. His eyes couldn’t help but bulge as he saw their would-be enemy.
It was a knight-type, one that was wearing the sigil of the City. This guy was a guard?! Didn’t this mean that they had to kill him, or they’d be busted?!
He wielded a large sword as if a kid’s toy, waving it in a protective arc against the magical claws the Demon was slashing with.
The man’s entire body was glowing silver bluish, and the bright moon halo behind his head was so very telling. Jack couldn’t help but involuntarily shiver.
A goddamn Moon Elf! Those freaking nosy bastards were already here?! Were they allied with the humans?!
Wait, no, there was something strange. The man’s ears were short, and his orifices were already bleeding from strain. Was he a halfling? Either way, he was an issue!
”Hurry, you have 20 seconds to capture him!” Jack urged.
”I got this, Sir!!” The Demon reassured as Moon Moon and Fairy threw Fireballs/ Wind Blades on the side.
But even then it was all worthless. The man’s aura was akin to an invincible shield. As the Moonlight fell on him, he pretty much had Infinite power.
Without waiting, Jack controlled Demonic Energy, sending it out to cover the sky.
Damage Power —> 0
Generating Darkness —> Very effective!
With this, they’d be able to capture their target, or so common sense would have told them. Sadly, the man had a trump card.
”Ah!!!” The man growled, his entire body turning red as he used a berserk ability. But a second later, he was running away!
”Stop him!” Jack shouted.
The Demon managed to block him. At this moment, the two were freaking glad the streets were empty. Otherwise, they would have long become surrounded.
The man was cornered, there was nowhere to go, and he knew it.
That’s when their eyes met. In the glowing irises, Jack saw ancestral power that no human could ever match, combined with human madness and mettle.
”!?!”
Before they could react, the man spat a mouthful of blood, his entire body suddenly emitting a brilliant light.
”Are you kidding me?! He’s awakening?!” Jack couldn’t help but curse as he hurriedly summoned plenty of skeletons in front of him.
This meant that his bloodline had resonated with his peril and activated, granting him both lasting power and an incredible short-term buff.
That’s when it happened: a shockwave spread outward from the knight. It wasn’t an attack but raw magical energy, something that shouldn’t have been possible at this stage of the game!
— Whoosh!! Crack! Crack! —
Moonlight aura blades appeared, flowing all over. They barraged the surroundings, Jack’s summons shattering one after the other as they acted as a shield.
The Demon, being in close proximity, tanked a few, half of his body menacing to disappear. This single move did so much damage that he was about to falter.
Jack could see in the Moon Guy that he was seriously considering just finishing them off. If they fought right now while he had the power of the world assisting him, they’d 100% lose!
Objective: Stop the man —> Survive
Jack VS Level 50ish buffed NPC
This was an emergency! Jack precisely knew what to do, even if it pained him…
”Hehehe, you can stand down. You bought enough time for me to remove my seal. Now, little Demon, watch closely, for I will show you the meaning of true power—” Jack bluffed, lying through his teeth.
The NPC currently felt like the king of the world, with raw elven magical power coursing through his veins, but he faltered hearing Jack’s confident tone.
Without hesitating, he turned tail once more. Jack had no choice but to watch him disappear.
”I-I’m sorry, Sir. Whatever this guy was he—”
”Moon Elf, a race that’s long been considered extinct. Their magical sensitivity and abilities are both peerless. Our only saving grace is that the guy is obviously a Newbie.” Jack sighed.
A fully developed Moon Elf would have wiped the floor with them as easily as one would beat a child in a fistfight.
The Fairy wanted to go after him, but he stopped her with a wave. Against a Moon Elf, the invisibility she was so proud of would be utterly useless.
The situation wasn’t completely hopeless, but it was bad, real bad!
1. Someone associated with the City now knew he had summoned the undead. He had never intended to, but this didn’t change the facts.
2. That someone just happened to be one OP NPC that he literally couldn’t do anything about in a direct confrontation.
3. It was only a question of time before he shared the information with law enforcement. By then, he would join the most wanted list. Heck, maybe they’d search for his mana signature directly.
4. The only saving grace was that his awakening had changed the man’s features. Right now, he’d probably have trouble proving his own identity…
Ah, this whole thing was a mess. How had this even happened? All he had wanted to do was craft OP equipment peacefully…
”W-what now, Sir?” The Demon uttered, shaken.
”Right now, we get the hell out. The commotion will have been visible from a distance. Afterward, we find that fool, making sure not to use magic.” Jack instructed.
”?!?”
”What is it?”
”T-that…All my information gathering techniques rely on magic.” The Demon admitted with downcast eyes.
Jack could only shake his head at the man’s foolishness. Hadn’t he been there for 200 years already? How disappointing!
It had only taken him a month to take over a village and a few weeks to take over one of the biggest businesses in Sprigfield. It seemed he had a bunch of work on his plate.
He already had a plan to deal with the current situation, but could he make it in time? Even he wasn’t sure.
”Follow me. I’m about to change your worldview….”
