Chapter 572 - 570: Are You Purifying Just to Release It Into the Air?

The conventional Purification Skill has certain dispersing effects on pollution.

Originally, Hilia didn’t know why the Purification Skill’s dispersal could drive away the Demonic Qi, which also belonged to the same power.

It wasn’t until Rose taught her the Purification Skill specifically targeting pollution that she understood that the way the Purification Skill worked was by fusing Magic Power and Demonic Qi together, turning it into another harmless kind of power.

However, the proportion of fusion between Magic Power and pollution is not large; only Divine Power can completely fuse with pollution.

Therefore, when a part of the pollution is restored, the remaining part is banished into the Abyss.

The Abyss is originally a place where the ancient gods banished pollution. With such a place, naturally, there’s no need to spend time and effort researching how to restore pollution.

Or, no one is willing to restore it.

Specifically for what reason, Hilia did not know.

Because Rose didn’t say.

He only said that this was not a field she needed to concern herself with at the moment.

In Hilia’s original assumption, even if the Elf Race didn’t use the Purification Skill to purify pollution, they should use some kind of unique magic similar to Purification Skill to banish the pollution into the Abyss.

Until she saw the actions of the Elf Elder...

The Elf Elder unleashed terrifying natural Magic Power, fiercely clashing with the surrounding pollution.

Subsequently, a large amount of pollution was impacted, rushing towards the sky.

Once the pollution reached a certain height, a part was naturally absorbed by the Abyss, while the remainder merged into the air.

As the concentration lightened, the density and transparency of the gray mist faded.

Hilia was silent.

The dispersal method of the Elf Race is like discharging sewage into the sea, relying on the sea’s purification capacity to cleanse the pollution.

Rose was also speechless, "How is this different from dumping nuclear waste into the ocean?"

Hilia was accustomed to Rose’s occasional strange metaphors.

She watched for a moment, shaking her head seriously: "If it’s general concentration pollution, this method may work, but..."

The pollution here is like hitting an artery, surging with life elements, and even now it’s still at maximum flow without any sign of weakening.

"With them dispersing it like this, I’m afraid the entire Elf Forest will be engulfed in pollution by then." Hilia was somewhat worried.

She was contemplating whether she should quietly use the Purification Skill to disperse some of the pollution.

After Elina separated the life elements from the pollution, her special Purification Skill could deal with those pollutants, and even do better than the purification effects elsewhere.

But using it now, given the exclusionary spirit among the Elf Race, she feared she would quickly be branded as a ’Holy Court’s lackey’ and then directly expelled.

After all, this kind of Purification Skill with the power to counteract pollution currently only exists within the Holy Court, and not everyone can learn it. It requires not only a holy attribute affinity but also some secondary conditions that Hilia couldn’t quite understand.

Simply put, it’s about affinity.

When the affinity is right, you learn it.

If the affinity isn’t right, even a high holy affinity won’t help.

Hilia looked at Rose and couldn’t help asking, "Master Rose, do you think this pollution spread might engulf the entire Elf Forest?"

Rose smiled slightly: "More than that, this is in the relatively outer area of the Elf Forest, near the Star Spirit Tree. If not stopped, even your hometown may get affected."

With that, Rose added with a smile, "But it’s only a possibility. Though the Elf Race’s purification method has some issues, it still has some effect, and it might not necessarily cross the Star Spirit Forbidden Land to reach Star Ash Town on the other side."

Hilia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them, saying, "Although some elves are pretty annoying, if we let them continue purifying like it’s fate, this pollution will certainly sweep across the entire world rapidly, and by then, it’ll be too late to act."

She left quietly, murmuring to herself, "To prevent Star Ash Town from being affected, and to save the world, I’ll intervene a little bit... Hopefully, the elves won’t be ungrateful."

Very soon, Hilia left the vicinity of Elina and the others, arriving at a more inconspicuous spot behind them.

Elina’s separation efficiency was very high; because it wasn’t direct purification, she seemed to have something special about her, separating all the surrounding pollution.

Hilia sensed for a moment and found the separation zone was quite large, like a V shape, with the range getting larger towards the back.

"Here should be good."

Hilia flew into high altitude, her body radiating intense Purification Skill light.

Under the shining light, the pollution originally sweeping around quickly formed a pollution-free vacuum zone around her, like Krypt Creepers meeting cats.

This zone kept expanding, and Hilia, focused on purification, didn’t notice that due to the excellent purifying effect, she was getting close to Elina’s area.

The sudden change quickly caught the attention of the sixth-level Elf Elder, who looked up and vaguely saw the intense light coming from behind through the thick gray mist.

Under the light, she could sense the pollution violently surging, like snow melting quickly on fire. The Elf Elder exchanged glance with several fifth-level elves responsible for purification, bewildered.

The Elf Elder stopped her somewhat meaningless ’purification’ work and told the others: "Seems like someone has come to help us, you all continue, I’ll go see who it is."

An Elf Mage said: "Judging by the Magic Power fluctuations, it seems like a holy-type Purification Skill. With such good results, could it be that the Holy Court sensed the situation here and specially sent someone?"

The Elf Elder shook her head: "It shouldn’t be. Otherwise, it would be an invasion."

With that, she flew over, quickly crossing the surging pollution area to reach the cleared high altitude.

From a distance, she saw a figure floating above the forest.

After reaching the fourth level, a mage can sustain flying by stepping on air with ultra-high Magic Power, without needing a flying device.

However, under usual circumstances, people still prefer to use flying devices, as they consume less and allow for multitasking.

The sixth-level vision was excellent, and even from afar, the Elf Elder could see the target’s appearance clearly.

Seeing the pointed ears of the person, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Though she thought it shouldn’t be someone from the Holy Court, she was also afraid that someone from the Holy Court had actually arrived.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a human, but an unfamiliar elf.

"Hmm?"

The Elf Elder suddenly frowned.

She felt that the elf looked somewhat familiar as if she had seen them somewhere before.

"Maybe just a chance encounter somewhere." The Elf Elder muttered to herself, not taking it to heart.

She flew over slowly and soon arrived next to Hilia. When she found that Hilia’s presence wasn’t detectable from within the Elf Forest, her expression changed.

"A Mixed-blood Elf? A Dark Elf?"
