ALL NOVEL Chapter 1021: The Fairy
Chapter 1021: The Fairy
Many clans kept disappearing left and right. There was no pattern. Sometimes, clans in the far north disappeared, at other times it was south. Within a few weeks, the fear of the unknown had spread throughout the realm. All the High Clans were blaming each other for this, but no one knew who was exactly responsible. The only certain thing was that the one responsible was powerful. Suspicious of each other, the High Clans stopped sharing information with each other. They made their own separate plans. Some set up traps in various clan territories that they thought might be targeted next. There were also other High Clans that sent their powerful beings as secret guests to their important subordinate clans to keep an eye on them. Almost every clan was doing one thing or another to protect their people. There were only the Angels who appeared to be silent, mainly because they didn't have any subordinate clans that resided in this realm. Even then, it was clear that something was going on with the Angels, as if they knew what was actually happening. ....
"To think that I would have to come to this godforsaken place." A woman descended, fairy-like wings being visible on her back that were distinct from the Angelic Wings. As soon as the woman descended, the entire Elf Clan went down on a knee. The woman was from the Fairy Clan, one of the five high clans. The Elf Clan was only a subordinate clan to the fairies. There were many gazes of worship that landed on the Fairy. The Elves were beings that were close to nature and the fairies were considered to be the gods of nature. They were the purest form of nature that the elves worshiped. Seeing a fairy, no matter their strength, was like seeing a divine being. It was even more special since the Elf Clan had been quite scared recently. They had heard the news of clans disappearing. They didn't know if someone was going to come for them as well. They had made all the preparations, but still they felt scared.
They even thought about shifting their city to another unknown place, but it wasn't easy to do that. Fortunately, at that time the Angels contacted them and told them that they were sending help. And now, here she was, their savior amidst the chaos. The Fairy's presence alone brought a sense of calmness and hope to the anxious Elves. Her beautiful wings glistened under the sunlight filtering through the ancient forest where the elves lived. The Fairy, named Lysandra, surveyed the kneeling Elves with a serene expression. Although she was frustrated that she had to come here to babysit these people, she didn't show her displeasure to their faces. Her voice, when she spoke, was melodious and soothing, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Rise, children of the forest."
"H-how can we stand before you?" The Elf Elder said, feeling hesitant. "Are you going to walk around with your knees then?" Lysandra said, almost revealing her frustration and her condescending gaze. She quickly controlled herself. "I mean, it would not be good for your health to be on your knees. Pleasure stand." She corrected herself. The Elves couldn't say no to her twice. They stood up, still being respectful towards the Fairy. "Show me the place where I will be staying," Lysandra told the village elder.
The Elder had thought that she was going to ask about the forest and if they had noticed anything strange, but she only asked about the place where she was going to stay. Still, he was in no place to question her. He simply thought that she might be tired. "R-right this way." The Elf Village Leader nodded. He told the other Elves to return to guarding the forest while he accompanied the fairy to the residence they had prepared. As the Elf Village wasn't a modern city like the city of Titans and other clans, they didn't have many proper houses. Their houses were made within trees to be more connected to the forest. When Lysandra was brought to the place that was supposed to be her residence, her lips twitched. Although she was a fairy that was born from nature, she wasn't someone who liked mediocrity. Even in the city of fairies, they didn't live in such shabby houses. Even a beggar there didn't live in a place like this, let alone a noble like her. 'Those damn higher ups. To think that I had to be the one to come here. Just my bad luck! The person who is destroying the cities, even that person wouldn't come to this godforsaken place!' There were a lot of things in her mind but she didn't express them to the Elf Village Leader. If these words reached the higher ups in the elf city, it was her who was going to be punished. Although it was a mediocre place, she also had no choice. All other residences looked even worse, including one that belonged to the Elf Village Leader. The one she received was the best of what this place could offer. Frustrated, she simply entered the place and told the old man to not disturb her until she came out herself. ....
While the fairy entered the house, a person appeared outside the ancient forest. Karyk had changed a lot in the meantime. He had devoured a lot of species, strengthening a lot of his abilities. Now, he was able to open portals and go through them whenever he pleased. His body had also changed a lot. He still looked like a human but his pupils were different. They looked like the pupils of a dragon, with a narrow black arc between. Even more black marks had appeared around his body. He was also able to change his physique to various physiques. Even without changing his physique, he was able to use all the abilities. The most important part was that his undead army had grown even more. Now his undead army that hid in his shadow had more than a few million undead.
