The bark of the oak tree felt warm and gentle. Touching it was like pressing against the palm of an elderly.

This was a totally new experience of spirit connection to Sheyan. Not only could he transmit his spoken thoughts, he could also convey his emotions.

He could sense that Melody's heart was akin to the countless white clouds of the boundless azure sky. The sky was her heart and the clouds her joy, relief, calmness, and admirable pureness!

Despite pondering over these for far too long, when he finally could talk to Melody, he felt as though he didn't know what to say. Amidst the turbulence of emotions, he released an extremely simple and normal phrase.

"I'm back."

"I feel happy, my protector. You've always appeared when I needed you most." Melody appeared to be just the same from that year, as she smiled beneath the trickling tears.

"I always thought it would take a decade or century to finally see you again. Yet Sin'dorei has delivered my lord back to me."

Sheyan could feel the intimacy conveyed over as he sunk into a brief silence before speaking.

"My god sensed that you were facing an imminent and tremendous danger, and dispatched me back to you. However, this is far from enough for me. I wish that that when I think of you, there I will see you beside me. When I need you, there I will find myself stroking your beautiful hair, kissing your irresistible lips, embracing the warmth and gentleness of your body....."

Melody squeaked out a happy whimper and replied.

"I too wish to be by my protector's side. However, Sin'dorei told me that my lord's divinity is a high-god, other gods cannot impose on the territory of a high-god."

Sheyan's eyes flickered fierily as he recalled the title 'One Hand to Cover Heaven'.

"Other gods may impose harsh restrictions, but to me, bringing you with me is absolutely not impossible!"

Melody chirped in joy.

"If that's so, then I gladly pay any price."

Sheyan squinted his eyes and said.

"Of the elves, many are outstanding rangers and elf wizards. We must now make preparations, you need to convince more elves who can control spatial magic to join your banner."

Melody replied happily.

"After the banquet, I realized Glorfindel's chief elder, Desirese Roots, was actually a believer of Sin'dorei. He is an exceedingly powerful elf wizard of space."

"Excellent." Sheyan smiled gently and continued. "I can stay in your world for at least a month this time. Sadly, Lord Elrond and Glorfindel have restricted your freedom and we cannot meet. Moreover, as a human, I will at most be treated as a secret envoy of other Middle-earth factions, and be prevented entry from your residence."

At this moment, Melody released the barrier surrounding her and Sheyan. She directly connected to the spirits of the other elves and asked.

"My protector wishes to sneak into my residence, is there a way in?"

The few elves shook their heads unanimously and replied.

"Lord Elrond and Sir Glorfindel has placed many guards around your residence. Sir Protector's strength is insufficient to be concealed from their senses, and as a human, it is hard for Sir Protector to blend in. Even if he manages to enter, without the shelter of the sacred Sindalor, we cannot prevent gaining attention from Lord Elrond and Glorfindel's nature's surveillance. That bard that entered just now is being investigated closely as well."

Upon hearing that, Sheyan was gravely astounded. "Franklin was apprehended?"

A deep remorse overwhelmed his heart as he urgently inquired.

"Is his life in danger?"

Melody replied.

"No, a festival watched by the One cannot be sullied by blood. However, he will probably be banished from Rivendell."

At this moment, the elf elder Annenia Cyathea abruptly interrupted.

"Insignificant and shallow fools! Sir Protector's strength is not something you fools can fathom! He is a follower of a high-god. I personally witnessed Sir Protector in combat. There exists a hidden, bewitching, and terrifying power in him; utterly worthy of reverence! Even Lord Elrond and Glorfindel may not be able to defy that power!"

Melody chimed in.

"Indeed. I've personally witnessed the power bestowed onto my protector from his high-god. That power is unexplainable. Even Sehanine, the death goddess, was vanquished from attempting to claim his life in an instance!"

Sheyan smiled wryly and replied.

"The power you witnessed was a one time affair bestowed to me by my god. Nevertheless, I do hold the powerful that Annenia Cyathea mentioned. Yet this power is still at its infancy, it is still limited."

The elves gazed at Sheyan with great intrigue. Even Melody asked him curiously.

"What power do you hold now? My senses can be infused with the sacred Sindalor, will you allow me the honor of witnessing, my protector? I am deeply intrigued, what exactly is a power that can cause even Elder Annenia to feel such bewitchiching terror and reverence?

Annenia Cyathea knelt respectfully before Sheyan and exclaimed.

"Might Sir Protector display his might once more. Ever since sensing sir's power, I've developed a wild thirst for obtaining it! Through my inadequate nature's foretelling and the guidance of my god, I realize that only by following Lordess Melody Sunstrider, can I witness that heart-shuddering might once more! A defector of Elune, my faith now lies in Sin'dorei, all for the desire of this one chance. Sir please satisfy my humble request!"

Sheyan took a deep breath and answered.

"You all truly wish to witness this? This power advocates destruction, chaos, and abnormalities; yet to some life, it represents vitality, vigor, transformation and limitless strength! The power of pestilences, the strength of...…...evolution!!"

Within a split second, Sheyan unleashed his 'Pestilence Monarch' ability. His heart rate accelerated by 200% as the filthy blood pumped through his 'Stairway of the Sun' virus system obtained a 500% boost!

The wild ability of the 'Stairway of the Sun' was discharged out frenetically. Behind him, a phantom of a gigantic 'Stairway of the Sun' plant brandished its vines menacingly!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The elves widened their mouths in fear as their bloodshot eyes convexed. The elves were innately sensitive to all plants of nature. Hence, when an alien, strange, bloodthirsty, and abnormal plant like the 'Stairway of the Sun' surfaced in their senses, it was translated into a shocking trauma to them.

In actual fact, Annenia Cyathea was an exceptionally low-key individual. His true prowess could be classified at the peak of second rate elves of Rivendell (First rate elves are the twilight elves). He only lacked a breakthrough epiphany to skyrocket his might to being a first rate elf.

"Why...…...blood and terror is gripping my mind like the vines of nature, yet I feel such tranquility and peace!"

"Why is despair both bitter and sweet? And fear so beautiful?"

"Is it my head? Or my beating heart???? What is that melodious and moving thumping sound?"

"The vast extent of horror, yet I do not desire escape but thirst for more?!"

"...…"

Melody remained silent. She was carefully sensing. Although her personal prowess hadn't fully awakened, her battle and nature sense had reached the apex after her awakening. Even Lord Elrond and Glorfindel were inferior to her in that aspect.

Unfortunately, her strength was vastly inferior and was akin to a weak little kid with unrivalled combat wisdom. When encountering a knight in full armor, a kid wouldn't be able to rely on matchless combat wisdom and could only succumb to the bitter fate of defeat.

Although she was a twilight elf, she could quietly feel an unprecedented craziness emanating out from Sheyan. A deep negativity that was strangely evolving into an adrenaline tide of shocking delight!

Just mere seconds later, and Melody hurriedly urged Sheyan.

"Please cease it, my elves cannot bear such intensity. If this continues, it will cause perpetual damage to their nature sense."

Sheyan smiled gently and halted his 'Pestilence Monarch' ability.

Moments later, the elves slumped to the ground simultaneously and panted violently. This was because they consciously allowed their to relax and held no resistance towards Sheyan's halo ability.

If it was elves who possessed vigilance or hostility, they would at most be momentarily thrown off.

Of course, to an outrageous exception like Annenias Cyathea, his frenzied pursuit for a breakthrough caused him to spare no cost in allowing the 'devil' to breed within him.

All of a sudden, an elf begun wailing incessantly as he viciously slapped himself while berating.

"I'm a shameless traitor!! To dare accept Sir Glorfindel's task of gaining Lordess Melody Sunstrider's trust and spying on her...….."
