“Uncle B is here!”

“Uncle B! Take them down!”

With the arrival of the Oak Guardian, Berserker, the players erupted in cheers.

Berserker stretched out his arms and struck the ground with force, roaring:

“War… Sacrifice!”

...

In an instant, his arms transformed into countless vines, entwining each half-orc…

Under the horrified and terrified gazes of the half-orcs, they were wrapped up one by one, their life force stolen, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into shriveled corpses, finally crumbling to ashes…

“What the hell! Uncle B, don’t hit the small ones! Leave the small ones for us!”

“Uncle B! Take out that big guy with the wolf fang club! That bastard killed so many of us!”

Seeing Berserker wipe out four or five half-orcs in an instant, the other elves seemed a bit heartbroken.

Upon hearing the elves’ words, Berserker turned his gaze toward Black Stone again.

A sense of life-and-death crisis suddenly surged in Black Stone’s heart…

He felt his scalp tingle.

Oak Guardian!

Black Stone had once served as the Holy Land Guardian, and he was all too familiar with these legendary creatures depicted in the murals.

In the Silver Era, tales of Oak Guardians were ubiquitous across the Segis Continent.

Their power was terrifying, with the strongest even approaching demigod levels, capable of battling Legendary Giant Dragons…

Their abilities were incredibly mysterious, and the war sacrifice skill unique to Druids granted them unmatched endurance in group battles.

Even the weakest Oak Guardian possessed silver-level strength, while their average strength surpassed gold…

If not for the fact that Oak Guardians couldn’t reproduce, they might have been called the golden race on par with dragons!

However, what chilled Black Stone more than the legends of the Oak Guardian was the significance of the opponent’s appearance…

The Oak Guardian could only be enlightened by the World Tree, which controlled the domains of nature and life!

Moreover, the life of an Oak Guardian thrived and waned with the World Tree!

In an instant, Black Stone understood everything…

“Behind the elves is not the Death God, but the World Tree!”

Only the World Tree could enlighten the Oak Guardians!

And only the World Tree could earn the loyalty of the Elf Clan!

The strange resurrection ability of the elves was thus explained…

The power to resurrect the dead defied the laws, and actions against the laws incurred a backlash from them.

Due to the secrets of the soul, this price was reportedly immense.

So immense that even a True God was unwilling to bear it!

Only those who mastered the divinity associated with life and death could revive the dead at a relatively bearable cost!

Among all the True Gods, only two had ever accomplished such a feat…

One was the Death God, Hela.

And the other was the World Tree, Yggdrasil!

Prior to this, Black Stone also believed these peculiar elves were Hela’s handiwork, but upon seeing the Oak Guardian, everything was overturned…

Then, another figure’s appearance further confirmed his guess.

Natural Saintess Alice, dressed in a noble sacrificial dress, appeared among the elves.

She closed her eyes in prayer, and a brilliant holy light radiated from her as the center, forming a continuously rotating sphere of light, exuding a strong sense of nature and life…

Under Alice’s direction, the light sphere swiftly moved among the elves, accelerating the healing of wounds on each one it touched!

[Healing Soul]

A four-circle healing divine art, it was the most potent group healing spell of a Silver Lower Priest!

Seeing their injuries recover, the elves grew more excited:

“Miss Alice’s support has arrived!”

“Charge! Take down the half-orcs!”

They swung their weapons, attacking more frantically and desperately.

“A Silver Lower Priest! A silver priest devoted to nature!”

Black Stone’s pupils shrank slightly again.

Priests and clergy at the silver level could only be sustained by the faith in a True God!

At this moment, there was no more suspense to the answer…

All that talk about Death God’s Favored was nonsense!

Clearly… they were the Divine Favored of Nature!

“The World Tree… has truly revived!”

In an instant, Black Stone felt his entire body tremble, filled with immense fear…

Conquering the ancient god Yggdrasil had always been an epic legend passed down through generations of half-orcs, and the greatest accomplishment for the God of Winter and the Hunt.

Yet now, this legendary True God… this planar dominion of the previous era, had actually revived!

Reflecting on the recent disappearances of half-orcs, Black Stone suddenly broke out in a cold sweat…

“She… She is seeking revenge… She has returned, she wants revenge on us! She wants revenge on the Father God!”

The majesty of a True God could not be desecrated.

And as the half-orcs who had persecuted the Elf Clan for millennia, attempting to erase the faith in the World Tree, they probably were now a thorn in the eyes of this ancient god!

“This news must be delivered back to the tribe! The half-orcs are in danger!”

In a flash, Black Stone made his decision.

Clenching his teeth, he said with hatred,

“Did they think I had no way to fight back by deploying two mid-tier professionals?”

His caution was never just for show…

Suddenly, Black Stone’s aura began to rise… a wave of pressure was released.

In an instant, his power skyrocketed from Black Iron Upper Peak (level 40) to Silver Lower!

Level 45…

This was Black Stone’s true strength.

Earlier, he had been hiding his level!

“Also silver!”

In that moment, both Berserker and Alice looked surprised.

Then, Black Stone took out a bone fragment with mysterious engravings from his bosom.

In an instant, his expression became devout and reverent.

Raising the bone fragment high, he murmured something, and a faint ripple of divine power spread out…

“Not good!”

Viewing the battle from a player’s standpoint, Eve’s heart sank.

Before She could do anything, the bone fragment in Black Stone’s hands emitted a dazzling brilliance, forming a massive energy arrow in the air!

[Hunting Arrow]

A true high-tier divine skill, the eight-circle attack divine art mastered by Uller’s priest!

A formidable aura was released from the arrow, causing Berserker and Alice’s expressions to change dramatically:

“Everyone, hide quickly!”

Yet, it was already too late.

The energy arrow suddenly bloomed with silver radiance, and then rapidly replicated, forming an energy ring composed of arrows pointing outward.

Subsequently, each arrow shot outward in all directions.

The largest arrow was aimed directly at the Silver Mid-tier (level 51) Oak Guardian Berserker!

Berserker’s face grew solemn, and he roared once more:

“Oak Barrier!”

As he spoke, a barrier composed of oak branches appeared in front of him.

Alice also gritted her teeth and shouted softly:

“Natural Armor!”

A green energy shield appeared around everyone.

The arrows reached them in an instant, colliding with the barriers and shields, causing a series of violent explosions.

“Boom…”

The earth shook.

For a moment, everyone’s vision went blank…
