Blood Elf Monarch

The ancient monster, the serpent god Jormungand's body had expanded to almost double its previous size as if it was preparing something enormous hidden beneath its scaly skin.

King Ivaasar had shouted for those within a 3-mile radius to retreat immediately. No matter what, they had to ignore the monsters they were attacking and instantly retreat, and all of them did so in unison.

Tristan and the others retreated outside the radius that the king had mentioned when they were strategizing the battle plan a few hours ago.

From a distance, he only watched curiously what the full moon magus was going to do.

Not only was the ancient monster preparing something terrible, but King Ivaasar as the king of the wood elves had also prepared something.

It was the magic that he had managed to master. Just for the sake of dealing with that terrible monster.

The king still hovered before Jormungand, staring into its green eyes without the slightest fear.

Tristan could see a thin green aura starting to form around the king's body. The aura grew thicker and darker in colour as the king raised his hands in front of it.

"I pray to the core of this planet to suck in and then neutralize smoke that shouldn't be there. I call you the spirit of the Tree of Life"

King Ivaasar muttered while clenching his jaw. His eyebrows knit together and his hands began to move as if he was practising a simple dance.

Suddenly they felt like the planet was experiencing a great earthquake, centred under the feet of the former Vanyar King.

Even though the elves were in a floating position, the earthquake on the entire place disrupted the gravity so they could feel it like a small push.

Tristan tried not to fall off his footing.

The power of a full moon magus was indeed powerful.

A gigantic tree suddenly appeared from beneath the submerged swamp water. It was very fast and burst through the gaps in the pillars.

Guardian-Zilant and Guardian-Naja immediately moved away from the tree that suddenly appeared before Jormungand.

Tristan and the others stared at the appearance of the tree with their jaws wide open. It was as if he couldn't believe what King Ivaasar had prepared.

At that moment, suddenly the serpent god Jormungand hissed in a loud voice.

HISSSSS!

Green smoke started to come out from the gaps in his open mouth as well as his nose. Next, the slits valves on his very long body opened, and thick green smoke was emitted from the gaps. It was billowing like black smoke from a forest fire, only it was a different colour.

The green smoke managed to envelop the snake's giant body. Meanwhile, King Ivaasar was still waiting by the side of his giant tree.

"Ivaasar, come back here!" Queen Leena screamed because she was worried about her husband's condition.

However, Ivaasar firmly believed in his abilities. He had done this before. And this time his confidence increased dramatically because he had matured the secret move.

Tristan and the others had already received a warning that the green smoke was a poison to be avoided.

But— before the green smoke moved towards the elves slowly due to the almost non-existent gust of wind, suddenly the giant general Sherman tree sucked the green smoke out through the stomata on its thick leaves, and through the lenticels that were visibly protruding on its wide trunk.

"Strike back!" cried King Ivaasar when he found out that his magic had worked as he expected.

Waiting for the god-serpent to stop emitting poison was too long.

"Protect the tree and attack the monsters!"

Tristan shot back towards the target monster along with King Vizier and the dark elve elder. It was clear that the Guardian-Naja was moving swiftly towards King Ivaasar's tree, and it looked like the monster was intent on destroying the tree.

"Don't touch the tree!" Tristan shouted while moving three blood spears at the monster to block its plans.

Meanwhile, from the air, Guardian-Zilant was already planning the same thing. He had swooped down hard to destroy the tree, but Callan shot up quickly to block it with his sword.

BANG!

An extraordinary collision was unavoidable.

"Defeat them!" King Castian, along with the high elf elders, had returned to King Ivaasar's side to attack the god-serpent, who continued to hiss and emit green smoke from his body.

Tristan and the other elves deliberately adjusted their breathing techniques to work slower than normal, because they didn't want to accidentally inhale the green smoke in that place. Despite the fact that the giant tree created by King Ivaasar sucked in the smoke non-stop.

And the fight resumed.

The battle between the elves and the three monstrous monsters was back. This time the fight was more difficult than the previous fight. It was because they also had to protect something very large from the three monsters that kept trying to destroy it.

After nearly two hours of fighting, a glimmer of hope of victory came for the elves.

"Tristan, attack!"

Guardian-Naja began to look cornered when three-quarters of its body was buried under the ruins of a pillar. The dark elve king had deliberately blown it up to block the monster's movement and keep it away from the giant tree.

Only its head was sticking out, and the Dark Elf King was holding the head with both hands, lifting it so that the neck could be exposed clearly to attack.

While the king was struggling to muster all his physical strength to restrain the monster's head, Tristan had already created a dozen blood spears from blood using his [Blood synthesis].

They targeted the exposed neck.

"Eat this!"

SPLATT! SPLATT!

Blood gushed from Guardian-Naja's neck like a flood coming out of a dam that had been destroyed.

A dozen of Tristan's blood spears managed to pierce the monster's neck and create holes in its skin.

Before King Vizier let go of his grip, the dark elf elder cast [Fireboost] magic to push Tristan's impaled weapons deeper into the creature's neck.

BANG!

King Vizier dealt the final blow with a hammer punch with his intertwined hands from the top of the monster's head, sending the creature crashing into the ground with a bang.

"We did it."

Guardian-Naja dropped down and didn't move anymore. Its blood made the swamp water around its body turn completely red.
