Chapter 973 Cap 971: Village Of The Elemental Forest
The Elf village was like the others I’ve visited in the past, they were houses inside trees or houses built above the trees with rope bridges connecting everything, but this village in particular was magnificent.
The trees were of different colors and seemed to be representations of various elements, there were trees whose wood was black as coal and the leaves were flames in the shape of leaves, there was a stone house built above that tree.
There were also trees that seemed to have been created by carving rocks whose leaves were made of colored crystal.
There was even a translucent tree made of ice, the leaves at its tips looked like large snowflakes.
Just seeing it from the outside was magnificent, but my only problem was the headache I felt from the excess information my senses are collecting with all this absurd amount of elemental energy everywhere, there was so much elemental energy that it was palpable for me.
Even the air I breathed had a lot of elemental energy mixed in, in my current conditions where the circulation of energy through my body can do more harm than help, that was a problem, so I stopped breathing for the time being, I can probably stay a couple of hours and a half without breathing easily enough.
While I was distracted by all this around me I didn’t notice the large number of Fairies and Spirits gathering around us, they were flying around us singing a melody.
At first, the melody didn’t seem to make sense, the melody seemed to have many variations which made it confusing, but I could feel the element flows in the surroundings going back and forth from the World Tree, the element flows seemed to make a slight sound like a river.
The melody being sung was almost identical to these element flows, in fact, each variation seemed like a different flow, when I realized this I felt my Aura flow to the surroundings mixing almost automatically with the environment making the elements of my Affinities interact with the Elements of the environment that flow through my body.
“Ugh!!!” (I)
I feel an ache in my body, a meal in my veins for those elements that, without having a place to go, destroy my body from the inside.
I feel people around me and the melody stopped, then some very strong presences are around me suppressing my Aura inside my body preventing me from interacting with the environment.
“(Why can’t I hear, feel or see anything?)” (I)
“(God senses were cut off for your own good, you are being taken to a place where you will be safe for a while.)” (Elizabeth) .
“(What happened now?)” (I)
“(Because I’m inside your blood, the energies of nature had nowhere to go, without a definite path to follow, it went haywire inside you causing continuous damage.)” (Elizabeth)
“(Who intervened in the end?)” (I)
I was a little confused since that pain wasn’t just physical, but I still remember feeling some presences that I didn’t know at the time.
“(It was a Spirit King and two Fairy Queens, they were the ones blocking the elements from continuing to flow to you.)” (Elizabeth)
“(They thought I was a Ghost possessing you and tried to take me out, lucky for them Natasha explained the situation.)” (Elizabeth)
I can understand how they reached that conclusion, they must have felt another soul inside my body and associated it with something hidden inside my body, an Undead like a Ghost would be the best option.
—————-
With not much to do, I spent my time with my sister talking a little, I didn’t find her as selfish as Natasha makes a point of saying.
After what seems like just a few dozen minutes, I feel my body ease up, I begin to hear the sounds of breathing, the smell of flowers and food, the heat on my skin, and the light in my eyes when I open them.
“Where am I…” (I)
I get up realizing I’m on top of a floating plank, I’m next to the World Tree which is a colossal tree that seems to be made of crystal, I can see countless streams of energy flowing inside.
I look around more realizing that I am in the middle of a well kept garden with exotic flowers, I also noticed a woman looking at me it was a White Elf with two meters tall, and her body was built like that of an Amazon warrior with lean muscles all over the body and a dress made of fine fabric.
“It looks like she decided to wake up, I’m Ellyana.” (Ellyana)
“Nice to meet you, my name is Zenos.” (I)
“I know who you are Holy Son of Blood or should I say who you two are.” (Ellyana)
She had beautiful blue eyes and straight blonde hair that was cut to shoulder length, she had her back to me at first but seemed to turn towards me just as I was turning my gaze towards her.
“I apologize for the children, they wanted to give you a gift, but in the end, they did not notice your guest.” (Ellyana)
“By children do you mean fairies and spirits?” (I)
“Yes, they realized they weren’t connecting with nature and they tried to help, they didn’t do it to harm you.” (Ellyana)
“I imagined something like that, this would be the first time a Fairy or Spirit wanted to harm me.” (I)
I look around further and see nothing, no Fairy or Spirit of any kind, it seems I’m alone with her here.
I get up feeling my body so much lighter, I can still feel my sister inside my body but she feels different, my blood is flowing much stronger and faster than usual while some kind of energy flows with it but I can’t figure out what, my sister’s presence doesn’t let my senses or Aura would go any further to find out.
“Your sister of hers is being healed, the news of what she ten is known to all the Trees in the World and has reached my ears.” (Ellyana)
“Healing your wounded Soul is the least you could do, just thinking about those 8 wrecked idiots… hahahahaha…” (Ellyana)
She starts laughing with a cruel look on her face, suddenly I see the same darkness in her eyes that I once saw in Alice’s eyes, seeing that in the eyes of someone with that level of power seems dangerous.
“(No need to worry, she knows where to direct that hate, at least most of the time.)”
Suddenly I can hear a voice in my head, then a young woman appears next to Ellyana, this young woman was my height and looked like a child version of Ellyana with her long hair tied in a braid decorated with flowers.
“Elly, what did you tell him?” (Ellyana)
“Just that you know who to hate most of the time.” (Elly)
“I always know who deserves my hate, I’m a great judge of character.” (Ellyana)
“As long as the person doesn’t have the Light element.” (Elly)
