Chapter 518: The Elf Queen’s Reward! White Silk! She’s Wearing White Silk

“Mmm~”

The moment the Elf Queen took the scroll, she immediately opened it and read its contents.

After a moment of silence, she asked Hong Lian, “Is the intelligence on this scroll accurate?”

“Absolutely!” Hong Lian replied with a resolute expression. “That Undead Monarch…”

Before she could finish, the Elf standing behind Hong Lian suddenly produced a dagger and lunged at her.

“Watch out!”

In the nick of time!

Rosaline, who had been watching that Elf the whole time, acted at once. Her Oath Sword flashed, sending out a wave of Sword Qi that instantly severed the Elf’s arm.

“AHH!”

With a bloodcurdling scream, the Elf staggered back a few steps in pain.

At that same moment, her severed arm released a pitch-black Magic Power, overflowing with the aura of death.

“What are you doing?”

“A traitor?”

“No! It’s like something is possessing her body!”

“Dammit! Sally, what in the world are you doing?”

“…”

The Elves all stared at the Elf whose arm had been cut off. They couldn’t understand why this Elf, Sally, would betray them.

“She… seems to be already dead?”

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He had only sensed an aura of death on this Elf earlier, but the moment Rosaline severed her arm, he was certain. The Elf named Sally had died at some unknown point in time.

“Dammit!”

After her failed assassination attempt, the Elf named Sally immediately turned to flee.

But in that instant, the Elf Queen flicked her fingertip, and a wisp of snow-white Magic Power bound the fleeing Elf.

“I’ve been curious about your strange aura for a while now, but as for the present…”

The Elf Queen gazed calmly at the captured Female Elf and barked coldly, “Get out of her body!”

As her voice fell, a blast of Five-color Elemental Magic Power struck the Female Elf’s body.

Before everyone’s eyes, a pitch-black finger was blasted out of the Female Elf’s body, falling to the ground.

“Is that…?”

Everyone wore expressions of disbelief. Even though it was just a finger, they recognized it at a glance as a part of the Death Monarch!

“Take her body back to the kingdom for burial.”

The Elf Queen handed the Elf’s corpse over to the Elf Guards. Then, her icy gaze fell upon the twitching finger on the ground.

She raised her fair hand, and a wisp of Magic Power enveloped the finger.

Then, the Elf Queen demanded of it, “Undead Monarch, are you still not going to show yourself?”

The moment she finished speaking, the finger erupted with a black mist, which coalesced into the image of a Skeleton’s head.

A hoarse voice emanated from the black mist. “Elf Queen, your Elves’ resistance is born of ignorance and fearlessness before a great Power. This great Power will deliver divine punishment! Are you prepared to witness the end of the world?”

“The end of the world? You give that so-called ‘great Power’ far too much credit.”

The Elf Queen hadn’t even spoken when Alina scoffed, “It’s nothing but a stray dog driven out of the Divine Realm, yet it dares to call itself the end? Utterly ridiculous!”

“Ignorant! Foolish!”

Alina’s taunts flustered the Undead Monarch, who immediately tried to explain, “The shattering of the Divine Realm was all my master’s doing! It was my master who drove out the gods!”

“Drove out the gods? Do the gods know about this?”

Alina continued her verbal assault, her tone still aggressive. “As for the shattering of the Divine Realm, that was because of the World Core. What does that have to do with your master? You really have the gall to take credit for it. Have you no shame? You two are a pair of clowns!”

“You… you… you!”

The Undead Monarch grew even more agitated, and the black mist even took on a reddish tint.

“Look who’s getting worked up! He’s triggered!” Alina chuckled, her laughter full of scorn.

‘How does Alina know so much about the Divine Realm?’

Su Xuan couldn’t help but be surprised upon hearing Alina’s words.

But from the Elf Queen’s calm expression, it was clear that the Queen also knew a great deal about the Divine Realm.

“That’s enough~”

Just then, the Elf Queen put an end to the conversation. “Whatever your objective may be,” she said calmly, “I will absolutely not allow anyone to threaten the people of the Elf Kingdom.”

“Then just you wait for your destruction!” the Undead Monarch roared. “My master will take you foolish Elves and—AHH!”

Before it could finish, the Elf Queen slapped her palm forward, dispersing the mist.

At that same time, the other Elves finished off the pursuing Undead Army and returned to the formation.

“Let’s head back for now.”

The Elf Queen said to Su Xuan, “Now that we know the Undead Monarch’s precise location, it’s time to properly prepare for the final battle.”

“Okay.”

Su Xuan nodded and followed the Elf Queen back to the Elf Kingdom.

Although he couldn’t ride with the Elf Queen on the Spirit of the Holy Deer, which was a bit of a shame, he could ride on Alina’s mount.

‘Oh well~’

‘Alina isn’t so bad, even if her snow-white… features… aren’t as aesthetically pleasing as the Elf Queen’s…’

‘Ahem~’

The journey was a little bumpy, and Alina kept complaining that he was holding on too tight, but what could he do when they had to cross mountains and rivers!

‘Holding on tight was just to keep from falling off!’

In the blink of an eye, the group returned to the palace in the Elf Kingdom.

As soon as they got back, Su Xuan was taken to the study alone by the Elf Queen.

“Your Majesty, is there something you need?”

Su Xuan asked the Elf Queen curiously.

“I have you to thank for what happened today.”

The Elf Queen said gratefully, “Is there anything you would like as a reward? I will grant it, as long as it is within my power.”

“Well…”

Su Xuan pondered, his gaze unconsciously drifting toward the Elf Queen’s snow-white skin.

‘Ahem~’

‘It’s not that I’m always thinking lewd thoughts, it’s just that she’s so perfect it naturally draws my eyes.’

“Hong Lian is my friend. It was only right for me to help.”

Su Xuan quickly waved his hand, giving the Elf Queen a perfunctory reply.

He truly hadn’t come here thinking about getting any reward from the Elf Queen.

He was simply here to help Xu Feiyan and rescue Hong Lian and Azkman.

“That won’t do~ How about this~ Wait here for a moment while I go get something.”

With that, the Elf Queen quickly left the study.

As she left, she also closed the study door.

‘That “something”?’

Su Xuan was a little curious. What was the Elf Queen going to get?

As he mused, his gaze fell on a picture sitting on the desk.

It was a slightly yellowed photograph of a young girl.

Although Su Xuan didn’t know who she was, he had the strange feeling that the girl in the photo was… looking at him?

‘Am I seeing things?’

Su Xuan pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to clear his head.

Just then, the study door slowly opened, and the Elf Queen’s graceful figure once again entered Su Xuan’s sight.

‘She’s back with it already? It’s only been…’

Su Xuan was a bit surprised. The Elf Queen had only been gone for about a minute, right?

‘How was she so fast?’

‘Wait? Where’s the item?’

THUD~

The Elf Queen didn’t answer Su Xuan. Instead, she closed the study door and gracefully walked over to him.

“President Su Xuan~”

The Elf Queen extended a slender, fair hand, her fingertips lightly tracing a path across Su Xuan’s chest.

The subtle touch made Su Xuan’s body tremble slightly. He wondered why the Elf Queen’s fingertips seemed to possess a magical quality.

“Well?”

GULP~

Su Xuan swallowed hard. For some reason, he felt there was something different about the Elf Queen right now.

In any case, this didn’t match his impression of the Elf Queen at all!

“I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you’ve completed your task so admirably~ I must naturally give you a reward~” the Elf Queen said with a radiant smile.

As she spoke, her fair hand roamed over Su Xuan’s chest, feeling his firm pectoral muscles.

“What kind of reward?”

Although Su Xuan’s mind was filled with questions—for instance, the Elf Queen was acting very strangely—the mention of a reward still piqued his interest!

“Look~”

As the Elf Queen spoke, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt. Beneath the silver dress, a pair of immaculate white stockings, trimmed with lace, immediately caught Su Xuan’s attention!

“I wore my white silk stockings~”

“Hiss~”
