Chapter 2163: Cracking the Bell
Adrian managed to return back to the base of the Evergreen guild. All the other guilds have already discussed their next course of action. All of them agreed to search for the areas where the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin are hiding. Adrian is greeted by the other Evergreen guild members and also his other guild members.
“Did you have any luck?” Adrian asked the gathered guild officers of his guild.
The ones gathered are Solstice, Levin Cloud, Peridot, Kabrakan, Creepysoo along with Hexy. They are in possession of the thing that would have changed the trajectory of the fight if the Black Fairy Mavros learned of its true origin. The Cursed Bell that is still protecting or rather preventing the Heart of the Forest from breaking free is still not destroyed. Even if there was almost no cursed energy left to siphon from the Heart of the Forest, the Cursed Bell has become a relic that has the tenacity of a Transcendent tier item.
“I cannot destroy it even though I could siphon the cursed energy from it.” Hexy stated. “Why are you not siphoning it? Is there a problem?” Adrian asked as he is curious why he can still sense faint traces of cursed energy from the Cursed Bell.
“The cursed energy is the only thing that is actually making the Cursed Bell workable. If I absorbed all of the cursed energy, then the Cursed Bell will calcify and the bell itself will harden even more. It is already difficult trying to destroy the Cursed Bell. If I take out the cursed energy from it, then it would be almost impossible unless a god could hit it directly with their might.” Hexy stated as she has more knowledge of cursed artifacts than Adrian.
“You said almost impossible which means that there is a way for it to be destroyed now.” Adrian stated as he caught on.
“It is not impossible, guild leader. The only way to destroy it physically will be a Greater God or Greater Goddess manifesting in their physical form and hit it will full force. Another would be sending it to a place where space itself is being torn apart. It is said that a tear in space could even cut the most durable of curses.” Hexy stated.
“Is that so? We have a way to get that heart out then, but we cannot do it here. We will need to go back to the guild house.” Adrian stated.
“If that is the case then please handle the transportation. I will need to tell the Fairy King and Fairy Queen that we will return back to Avalon.” Hexy stated as she left but Creepysoo came with her as an escort.
“I think our little boy is infatuated.” Levin Cloud stated.
“I am telling you to not mess with the boy. I can already tell that you will tease him for this.” Peridot stated as a warning to Levin Cloud which is why the latter could only nod.
“It is up to him if that infatuation blossoms.” Adrian stated but the others looked at him with judging eyes because they know that he should not say such thing when they do not even have a label yet.
“Ok. No label.” Levin Cloud stated.
“We should say our farewell to the Evergreen guild for now. We have already intruded too much on their territory.” Adrian stated as they did that quickly.
Anastacia and the other members of the Evergreen guild thanked the Pantheon guild for their support. Adrian could see that Neo Alfheim needed some repairs as it was also attacked while the Black Fairy Mavros was fighting with the other players. It seems that a detached force managed to sneak inside of the territory but that was also in the calculations.
The reason Anastacia was not present in the fight against the Black Fairy Mavros is due to the fact that she and other members of the guild alliance protected the territory. Someone might poison the world tree if there were no people that is left. The ones that attacked the territory is a detached force of a thousand foliage soldiers led by two corrupted fairies. Anastacia managed to repel everything along with the other players with the aid of the territory guard NPCs. Vayu and Soleil managed to arrive in time for backup which is why they easily defeated the detached enemy army. Unfortunately, Vayu and Soleil had to leave early as they were spirited away by a Wind Elemental King. It seems that they are needed elsewhere for something important.
“I am grateful for your help. Do not worry as we will make sure to find all of the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin. You did so much in convincing the Seven Devil Gods after all.” Anastacia stated as Adrian casually dropped the bomb that it was him that thought of the reward system implemented to hunt down the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin.
“I am grateful as well because the world tree is protected. It is one of the reasons why the world barrier is not getting totally destroyed after all. I hope we meet in favorable times and not always in war or an invasion.” Adrian stated as he bid farewell.
Adrian opened a portal back towards Avalon and all of his guild members came with him. It was not just his guild members that came with him but also two fairies of great power. The Fairy King and Fairy Queen also came with them to Avalon which made Adrian raise his brow. He knows how playful fairies are and these two are royal level.
“Are you not going to return back to Alfheim? Are you sure that the kingdom will be fine without you there?” Adrian asked.
“It would be fine for a while. This is the reason you have many kids as they can rule the kingdom for you so that you can have a vacation. I always wanted to check your territory, but that old bastard placed a powerful spatial barrier that interrupts even our fairy rings.” The Fairy King stated.
