Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the Holy Light Array stood a middle-aged Light Elf. His body was pure white. He crossed his arms in front of his chest arrogantly. He looked at the shrinking Holy Light Array with a smug expression.

Another Light Elf walked over from behind. He frowned and asked, “Wilbert, what happened?”

Wilbert said with an arrogant face, “That traitor Andy has returned! I believe that the turmoil must have something to do with her, so I activated the Holy Light Array. Now she’s going to be finished!”

The Light Elf who heard that could not help but say with some worry, “Great Divine Priest Franklin wants to personally capture his daughter and execute her by burning her in front of the altar! Therefore, it’s not appropriate for you to kill Andy here, right?”

Wilbert glanced at his companion and said with a disdainful expression, “It doesn’t matter if it’s Great Divine Priest Franklin or Great Divine Priest Amanda, they’re both missing now! I am helping them by punishing their daughter! Nico, you can’t be too rigid when doing things!”

The Light Elf named Nico still had a troubled expression on his face, but he did not continue to persuade Wilbert. This was because he knew that no matter what he said, Wilbert would not listen to him.

Wilbert, who was only thirty years old, had already reached level 40. He was known as the strongest genius in the history of the Holy Light Town. He was also one of the top candidates for the title of Great Divine Priest!

After seeing that Nico did not speak anymore, Wilbert said with some satisfaction, “Just watch, my Holy Light Array will judge every traitor. No one will be able to escape!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Light Array that was about to shrink to its limit suddenly expanded. A fiery red light had appeared under the large white net.

At the same time, a terrifying heatwave instantly spread out, and the surrounding trees and flowers withered instantly. They started to burn spontaneously under the increasing heat.

The forest in front of him turned into scorched earth in the blink of an eye.

Nico could not help but sigh in surprise, “What’s going on? Could it be that there’s another powerful Fire Elf who came with Andy?”

The corner of Wilbert’s mouth twitched. He said angrily, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Even a level 40 Fire Elf would not be able to contend against my Holy Light Array!”

Nico could not care less about stubborn Wilbert at this time. This was because the expanding Holy Light Array had reached a terrifying size. It was about to envelope him and Wilbert!

“Let’s not worry about that, let’s retreat quickly!”

Nico pulled Wilbert and urged him to retreat.

Nevertheless, Wilbert still looked at the Holy Light Array with a determined expression. He believed that the individuals trapped in the array were just trying their best to resist the array. It was simply impossible for them to break through his array. They would not be able to burn down the town. Wilbert did not believe that they had sufficient follow-up power!

However, reality once again conflicted with Wilbert’s thoughts. The flames in the Holy Light Array seemed to have grown infinitely. The Holy Light Array expanded to its limit without any hindrance and instantly burst like a huge bubble!

Intense flames soared into the sky, forming a waterfall of fire. Fire rained down from the sky and ignited the ground.

When the flames slowly subsided, the center of the Holy Light Array reappeared. It looked like a hemispherical flame barrier. The flowers and trees inside the barrier were still intact. They did not seem to have been affected by the high temperature. On the other hand, everything in the outside world had long turned into scorched earth. The surroundings were pitch black and desolate!

Wilbert was extremely angry after seeing the scene. He shook off Nico’s hand and walked toward the flame barrier.

Nico caught up with him again and pulled his arm. He asked, “Hey, what are you doing? It’s too dangerous. Follow me back now!”

Wilbert’s eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, “My Holy Light Array is already the strongest array in the Light Guardian Council. If someone is able to destroy my array, it means that he is a threat to the Light Guardian Council’s safety. I must take responsibility for all the members and destroy him here!”

Nico quickly replied, “But since he can destroy your Holy Light Array, it must mean that he is stronger than you. How can you kill him? It’s better for you to rush back to the temple with me and discuss with everyone before making a decision!”

Wilbert looked at Nico with anger. The killing intent in his eyes made Nico shut his mouth instantly.

Wilbert reprimanded him with a fierce gaze, “Are you trying to teach me? Don’t forget that my strength has already reached the peak of the Elf Race, and I’m about to be promoted to become the Great Divine Priest of the Light Guardian Council! So, before you speak to me, you’d better remember your identity first!”

Nico lowered his head in fear. He did not dare to look directly at Wilbert. He just kept quiet.

Wilbert snorted coldly and turned around. He continued to walk toward the flame barrier.

On the other side, the flame barrier slowly disappeared, revealing Vincent’s figure. Vincent frowned as he sized up Wilbert.

Vincent whispered to his companions, “Everyone, get up first. The danger has been averted. There are only two Light Elves left!”

Avril and Angelina immediately walked out from behind the tree. Horace also emerged from the tree where he was resting. When Andy poked her head out from behind the rock, she immediately recognized the Light Elf who was walking over.

Andy stood up and questioned with a frown, “Wilbert! Were you the one who attacked me just now? We were such good friends when we were young!”

Wilbert sneered and said, “You were the daughter of the Great Divine Priest back then. Now you’re just a traitor. Do you think you still have the qualifications to be my friend? As long as I kill you today, I’ll be considered to have made a great contribution to the Light Guardian Council. Then, I can be promoted to become the Great Divine Priest openly!”

Andy looked at Wilbert with a shocked expression. The madman in front of her was willing to sacrifice everything for fame and fortune. He was once like a big brother to her. He often brought her to play games when they were younger. He was like a completely different person. It was difficult for her to accept the huge change in his personality.

Vincent and Horace took a few steps forward at the same time and stood in front of Andy.

Vincent said in a flat tone, “Let me remind you! If you want to hurt Andy, you’ll have to go through the two of us first!”

Wilbert looked at Horace and said with disdain, “Wood Elf who betrayed the gods. Even if you don’t take the initiative to come forward, I won’t let you off!”

Horace was enraged after hearing what Wilbert had said. The beard on his chin almost flew upward from anger.

He was currently the Wood God of the Elf Race. Yet he was being called a betrayer by this short-sighted kid. It was simply a blasphemy and insult to him!

Wilbert was obviously not interested in Horace. His gaze quickly shifted to Vincent. He frowned and asked, “Were you the one who destroyed my Holy Light Array just now?”

Vincent did not say anything. He only nodded slightly.

“Very good. It seems that you are a great threat to the Light Guardian Council. Today, I must kill you to protect the safety of the council!”

Wilbert’s eyes were like poisonous snakes as he stared at Vincent. His tone was filled with excitement. As long as he killed Vincent, he would be able to obtain the wealth and glory that he wanted.

Vincent shook his head slightly and sighed softly, “It seems that the Light Guardian Council follows the old development model. It is not a good thing at all! It creates short-sighted cats and dogs and makes them dream of climbing up the ranks all day long!”

Andy could hear the anger in Vincent’s tone. She understood her master’s temper even better. She knew that Horace must be very angry at this moment!

She did not expect Wilbert to anger two elf gods with just two sentences. He was simply a little expert who wanted to seek death!

Andy, who still remembered the mission of the trip, quickly pulled Vincent and Horace’s arms. She said to Wilbert in a loud voice, “Please don’t misunderstand. We came here specifically to visit the Light Guardian Council. We want to reach an agreement with you and work together for the prosperity of the elves!”

Wilbert said with disdain, “Work together? This Wood Elf and foreign race beside you want to work together with the Light Guardian Council? Traitors like you can’t survive in the outside world, so you want the protection of the Light Guardian Council. I can answer you directly on behalf of the Great Divine Priest. Wishful thinking much?”

Vincent took a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself down. If this was any other time, he would have beaten this Light Elf who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth until his face was black and swollen.

Horace reached out and grabbed the tree trunk beside him. The tree bark that was ten centimeters thick was instantly broken by him with just his fingers. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Avril and Angelina, who were behind Vincent and the others, could not help but look at each other. It seemed that this trip was destined to be fraught with difficulties. They had to think of other methods!

The sisters immediately thought of something. With just a glance, Angelina and Avril knew what they should do. The two of them opened the space door and hid in the space tunnel silently.

Wilbert, who was focused on Vincent, did not notice that Avril and Angelina had snuck away. He was still sizing up Vincent and Horace with his arrogant and disdainful eyes.

Andy could feel the fury of Vincent and Horace’s burning heart. She quickly said, “We have made progress in our fight against the demons. We have already defended two main cities and more cities are willing to join our camp! There is only one problem left for us and that is we will need to fight against Gajero’s clone. We need to gather all the forces of the elves. More importantly, we need the ancient books kept by the Light Guardian Council! As long as we overturn the rule of the demons, the Light Guardian Council will be able to move out of the mountains and return to the elf land and continue preaching!”

After listening to Andy’s explanation, Wilbert’s arrogant eyes instantly turned solemn. He knew of the benefits of Andy’s suggestion. It was indeed a very good option as it would allow the Light Guardian Council to cooperate with the entire Elf Race.

However, Wilbert would not be able to make any contribution this way. On the contrary, it might allow Andy to return to the Light Guardian Council and become a great contributor to the internal reconciliation of the Elf Race. At that time, she would become an important obstacle for him to gain the title of Great Divine Priest!

After hesitating for a while, Wilbert suddenly laughed and said, “In that case, I can allow you to enter the Light Guardian Council. Now that all the Great Divine Priests have disappeared overnight, we need more men to participate in the investigation anyway!”

“What? Father, mother!”

Andy shouted with a worried face and ran straight behind Wilbert.

Horace immediately followed his disciple.

However, they did not notice that Wilbert was currently behind them. He had raised the magic staff in his hand.

After hearing the news of her parent’s disappearance, Andy had lost her last bit of rationality. Although she was almost killed by her parents back then, family ties were always the most difficult to let go of. Therefore, she only wanted to rush to the headquarters to find out how her parents had gone missing.

Horace had been too lazy to pay attention to Wilbert from the start. When his disciple ran forward quickly, he immediately followed behind. He was afraid that something would happen to his disciple. Therefore, he did not notice Wilbert revealing a ferocious expression behind them.

Wilbert raised his staff high, and a white beam of light began to condense at the top of his staff. He was ready to kill Andy and Horace who were running.

Vincent was standing in front of Wilbert the whole time, watching his every move. He reminded him in a cold tone, “What are you trying to do? Do you want to kill us all in front of me? Aren’t you looking down on me a little too much?”

Wilbert looked at Vincent with disdain. He sneered and said, “I just want to kill the two of them. What can you do? After those two elves die, how can you, a foreigner who suddenly barged in here, gain the trust of others?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wilbert had already prepared his spell. A white beam of light instantly shot toward Andy’s back.

“Disciple, be careful!”

Horace’s strength was not known to Wilbert. At the same time the spell was cast, Horace was able to sense something strange happening behind him. He immediately flashed forward to block Andy’s back. At the same time, a jade-green dagger appeared in each of his hands. He could no longer control the killing intent in his heart toward Wilbert.

However, just as Horace was preparing to counter Wilbert’s attack and kill Wilbert, two space doors suddenly appeared beside him. Two arms stretched out from the void on both sides. They pulled him and Andy into the space tunnel.

A white light flashed past. However, Horace and Andy had disappeared.

Vincent saw the space doors that had suddenly appeared. He knew that Andy and Horace were safe and sound. They would also be able to enter the headquarters of the Light Guardian Council more smoothly this way.

Vincent then turned to look at Wilbert with a relaxed expression.

He said to Wilbert in a deep voice, “Sneak attack from behind, yet you are still able to put on an arrogant appearance. I really don’t know where you get your confidence from. You actually thought that you could kill them?”

Wilbert’s eyes narrowed. He had indeed cast a spell. However, he did not turn around to see what had happened to Andy and Horace because he was afraid of Vincent’s strength. He was afraid that Vincent would also attack him from behind like what he did to Horace and Andy.

After hearing Vincent’s tease, Wilbert could not hold back his curiosity and turned his head to look behind him.

When he saw that there was no longer any trace of Andy and Horace behind him, he immediately turned his head back. When he saw that Vincent did not seize the opportunity to attack him, he laughed even more proudly.

Wilbert said, “Hahaha, my strength allows me to be confident! Now that Andy and the Wood Elf have been blasted to pieces by me, you will definitely not leave alive today! You have already missed the best opportunity to attack just now. I will not give you any chance next!”

Vincent sighed helplessly and looked at Nico who was standing not far away.

Nico’s eyes and mouth were wide open. He was in a daze like a wooden sculpture because he had just witnessed Horace and Andy disappearing into thin air.

As long as Wilbert noticed Nick’s abnormality, he would be able to see that things were not as simple as he had imagined. However, he had been scheming against Vincent with his narrow-minded thoughts, so he did not retreat.

Vincent retracted his gaze and looked at Wilbert. He asked with a puzzled expression, “Andy has already explained our purpose for coming here. This is good news for the Light Guardian Council. I am very curious as to why you, who is about to become a Great Divine Priest, would use such despicable means to obstruct this matter.”

Wilbert saw that Vincent did not attack him nor did he run away. For a moment, he did not know what Vincent wanted to do. At the same time, he was afraid of Vincent’s strength, so he did not dare to make the first move. He only thought of ways to stall for time. He wanted to find an opportunity to learn about Vincent’s background.

Wilbert said with a ferocious expression, “You are right. Andy’s purpose for coming here is indeed good news for the Light Guardian Council. I think that even her parents, who are Great Divine Priests, will be happy to cooperate and reach a settlement with their daughter! If I had become a Great Divine Priest, I would also have agreed to your conditions without hesitation. Unfortunately, you came at a bad time. I haven’t become a Great Divine Priest yet, so I will never give Andy the chance to return to the Light Guardian Council and make a great contribution! In the future, I will be the one who will help the Light Guardian Council develop and grow. I will not allow any other competitors to appear!”

Vincent nodded with a look of understanding. He said, “I understand. You are trying to eliminate your enemies in advance so that there won’t be any accidents on your path of advancement. I can see that you are a person who yearns for power. I just don’t know if your ability can match your ambition.”

Wilbert took a deep breath and sized Vincent up. He said confidently, “There’s no need to be weird in front of me. You are not worthy of provoking me! You must have used up a lot of your psionic power when you broke my Holy Light Array just now. You are only saying these things to stall for time so that you can escape when your psionic power recovers! But do you know why I’m willing to say these things with you even though I know you’re stalling for time?”

Vincent shook his head and could not help but laugh. He replied, “Although I don’t know where your speculations came from, I’m still willing to cooperate with you. So, why’s that?”

Wilbert sneered and said, “Because I had used up my psionic power just now to ensure that I could kill Andy, so I also needed time to recover! Now that I’ve almost recovered, you can go to hell!”

Vincent finally could not help but laugh out loud.. He shook his head and said, “It seems that you’ve really stayed in the mountains for a long time. Not only are you short-sighted, you’re also really stupid!”
