Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Alright, I’ll come clean

“Brother Mu! Something’s happened, something’s happened! Demacia has been captured!”

Li Mu, who was attending a class on arrays at the Natural Temple, had his train of thought interrupted by a flurry of messages from friends.

He checked the game system panel and found that the message came from the vice-captain of Demacia’s field squad.

Demacia was captured?

He was taken aback for a moment and began to reply through the system:

“What’s going on?”

...

Soon, there was a reply:

“We encountered a very strong monster in the wild, and Demacia was taken! Those monsters look very fierce, much like the Half-Beasts that Alice described!”

Half-Beast?

Li Mu frowned.

Suddenly, he had a thought…

*Could it be… the squad of Half-Beasts that Alice mentioned, the ones who hunt elves?*

“How strong are they? Where did they take Demacia?” Li Mu replied again.

“Those monsters are really tough, they took down Demacia with just one punch! We ran away on the spot, and then couldn’t get in touch with him.”

One… one punch…

Li Mu took a sharp breath.

*Demacia was the number one tank in the entire server, with a ridiculous amount of health, and they took him out with one punch… Just how strong are these guys…*

But soon, another thought struck him.

He quickly replied:

“This might not be a bad thing! Knowing Demacia, he might be triggering some kind of plot mission. Keep an eye out for any messages from him… I think he might be under control now, but as soon as he’s free, he’ll definitely get back to us!”

After sending the message to friends, Li Mu thought about it and decided to inform Alice immediately.

From any angle, given the current strength of the players, they would be incapable of dealing with Half-Beasts!

If necessary, they would need to seek help from NPCs!

He had already raised his rapport with Alice quite high, even higher than that of a cooing bird.

If he needed help, the kind Holy Daughter sister probably wouldn’t refuse.

He took a deep breath, then stood up from the mat:

“Lord Alice, I’m sorry to interrupt your lecture, but I have something urgent to tell you!”

…

When Demacia’s hood was removed, he found himself in a dark cave.

He was tied to an iron rack, and in front of him stood several Half-Beasts with faces that could scare children to tears.

The Black Stone, who had taken him out with a punch, was front and center, along with a Half-Beast Priest clad in sheepskin.

A group of burly figures surrounded him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Especially the imposing, fierce bald Black Stone leading them!

Black Stone stepped forward and pulled the cloth out of his mouth.

Demacia breathed deeply in relief but nearly choked on the nauseating smell of the cave.

At this moment, the Half-Beasts finally spoke.

“Speak, what were you doing in Feilengcui? What’s your conspiracy? Who’s the mastermind behind this?”

Black Stone’s deep voice resounded with strong pressure.

Upon hearing the Half-Beast’s words, Demacia was momentarily stunned.

*Huh? It seems they aren’t here to hunt me…*

*Are they… investigating the matters from before in Feilengcui?*

His mind was quick, and he instantly pieced together the backstory…

If he wasn’t mistaken, the main followers of the Winter and the Hunting God Uller seemed to be Half-Beasts, and they had just dismantled Uller’s avatar the other day…

*So, the juniors are here to avenge the seniors?*

Demacia felt like he had uncovered the truth.

Meanwhile, he thought of the main storyline’s name:

“Act One: Uller’s Conspiracy!”

Main plot!

He had definitely encountered the main plot again!

*Could this be Uller’s revenge for the trouble they caused?*

Demacia’s spirits lifted.

“Hurry up and talk!”

Black Stone coldly snorted again, then grabbed a red-hot iron from the campfire…

And in the distance, Demacia also saw a whip, a Wolf Fang Club, an iron rod, knives with barbs, and other items…

He twitched his eyes.

*Is this… torture about to begin?*

He glanced at the pain setting in the system…

*Hmm… 5%, I should be able to handle it.*

*Surrendering and confessing is out of the question.*

*Only by standing firm can I maintain my heroic persona!*

*Besides, knowing it’s part of the main storyline, there’s no way I, as the Goddess’s most loyal follower, would spill the secrets to the enemies, right?*

With this thought, he grinned at the Half-Beast, showing a row of white teeth:

“Sweet child, even if you call me daddy, I… I still won’t tell you anything.”

“Hmph…!”

An angry flash passed in Black Stone’s eyes, and he pressed the hot iron against Demacia’s chest.

With a sizzling sound, the aroma of grilled meat filled the air.

Demacia’s eyes nearly bulged out, and then he let out an ecstatic moan.

A moment later, he sighed contentedly:

“It feels kind of nice… you can do it a bit longer.”

Black Stone: …

*This guy… is he really this tough?*

The Half-Beasts gave him a startled look.

“Hmph! A stubborn elf!” Black Stone tossed the iron aside and picked up the whip.

Demacia’s eyelid twitched as he shouted:

“Anything but the face, you can hit me anywhere else.”

“Pia!”

Black Stone whipped him across the face.

Demacia: …

Black Stone continued with clubbing, slicing, nail pulling…

He tried every method of torture he had learned from the Human World, but the elf before him remained unfazed.

*He really doesn’t care about the pain!*

Except for when hit on the face…

Even Black Stone began to develop a sense of respect.

“As expected of a follower of the Death God, facing pain and death with such calmness… Elf, you truly are a warrior.”

He grunted, acknowledging.

Upon hearing this, Demacia hesitated slightly.

*Wait…*

Death God?

*Wasn’t I part of the Goddess’s crew?*

*How did I become a follower of the Death God?*

Seeing Demacia’s puzzled expression, Black Stone sneered:

“Surprised?”

He put down his instruments of torture and continued to ask:

“Heh, in fact, we already know your identities. Talk, what are the Death God and the Lord of the Underworld plotting?”

“De… Death God?”

Demacia had a peculiar look on his face.

*Wait… is there some misunderstanding here?*

“Heh, seeing your expression, have you finally admitted it?” Black Stone sneered.

Demacia: …

“What if I say I don’t know anything about a Death God, would you believe me?”

He tried probing.

“Heh.”

Black Stone sneered again.

Demacia: …

“I really don’t know any Death God…”

He repeated with some frustration.

“Heh.”

Black Stone still sneered.

Demacia: …

After a moment, he sighed.

“Sigh… fine…”

“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you guys, I’ll go ahead and tell you the truth!”

“It’s just the Death God, right? Actually, I know… and it’s no big deal telling you…”

As he spoke, Demacia’s expression turned serious.

Seeing this, the Half-Beasts also grew serious.

Demacia suddenly raised his head, exuding a bit of dominance, and said in a deep voice:

“Actually, my name is Thanos, my true identity is the leader of the Soul Society’s Guardian Court Thirteen Team’s Fifth Division Captain…”

“My mission in Feilengcui is to find the seven Dragon Balls, to make a wish to the Goddess, thereby obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, and ultimately finding the legendary great treasure left by Pirate King Jack Sparrow!”

Black Stone and the others were dumbfounded by his words.

Soul Society? Guardian Court Thirteen Team? Dragon Balls? Sharingan? Treasure?

*What… what kind of nonsense is this?*
