The shadows of the swords soared through the air, attacking Mogo from eight different angles. The swords were slashing, hitting, and stabbing Mogo but they were all easily blocked.
They started trading hits. The noises made by the weapons and their abilities were echoing in the area.
Angele kept a distance from them and watched the fight quietly. Large fissures appeared on the ground and created numerous deep holes. Mogo and the elf were moving so fast that they looked like a dark shadow and a silver shadow in the air.
Several minutes later.
*BAM*
The silver shadow was blown away by the impact, landing in one of the deep holes. The dust splashed in the air, and Lance was revealed.
Her leather armor was damaged and there was barely anything left on her body. Three of her arms and her right leg were fractured. Her left eye was tightly closed and there was blood coming out of her mouth.
“Power of the princes… You mean the power of a rank 3 wizard?” Mogo stood there and licked his right hand. “Arrogant fool, how dare you try to stop us here.” Mogo charged to Lance, grabbed her hair, and lifted her up. He did not care about Lance screaming in pain.
“You have good strength, good speed, and high resistance. Sadly, your opponent is not a random rank 3 wizard. You’ll have to become the lab subject of my master now, ha!”
He returned to Angele with Lance and dropped her on the ground. He also blocked a random arrow that was flying to him.
Lance remained silent; she was gritting her teeth and it seemed like she was not going to surrender.
Angele nodded, satisfied with the result. He looked at the other night elves—they already started retreating. It seemed like they did not care that their leader was captured.
“Lance, you’re always talking about the power of Princes. I assume they are the strongest beings in the underground world.”
“Bastard!”
Angele was not concerned at all.
“You’re probably one of the strongest beings in the Night Elf Empire, right? Tell me, how many people in the empire have similar power to you?”
“Bastard!” Lance spat on Angele’s face and turned her head to the side.
*BAM*
Angele kicked Lance in the head, blowing her away. She rolled several times on the ground and stopped.
Half of Lance’s face swelled. She was dizzy after taking the hit, and the arms on her back slowly disappeared. Everything returned to normal.
Angele walked to Lance and stepped on her chest.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Lance screamed.
“You should’ve just surrendered,” Mogo mocked.
Lance told Angele everything about the other princes. She finally realized why the others asked her to try and stop Angele—they all knew that no one could stop Angele, but they had to send someone because of the Mother Tree.
Around ten minutes later, Angele and Mogo started advancing again. Lance was injured but she could still walk, and Angele asked her to follow them.
*************
About half a month later.
A tall black wall appeared in front of the dark-green plain. The wall was so long that it looked endless. There were countless armored night elves standing on the wall, equipped with the magic rocket launchers that Angele had encountered many times.
Angele, Mogo, and Lance were on a hill about one kilometer away from the wall.
Lance was staring at the wall in the front.
“You have to go through this wall if you want to find the Mother Tree. This is one of the Spider Queen’s fortresses, Dark City. The city is guarded by over 300 000 soldiers and over 3 000 magic cannons. They also have the strongest barrier, the Eye of Sama. There’s no way that you can pass through this fortress.”
“Let’s give it a try.” Angele smiled.
“Mogo, see what they can do.”
“Sure.” Mogo chuckled and flew into the sky with his dark wings. He was charging to the city at full speed.
*BAM*
Countless glowing red arrows hit Mogo, the light from the arrows illuminating the sky.
Mogo was laughing like crazy; the soldiers were shouting. The place turned into a mess.
Angele raised his head and looked at the battle in the sky. He could feel that his body was getting heavier and heavier. He could no longer fly and could only walk on the ground due to the pressure from the ancestor’s mark.
“Lance, point the direction for me.”
Lance started walking without responding and Angele followed her.
*BAM*
A ray of dark light landed on the wall and left a large crack on it. The bodies of the soldiers who were caught in the dark ray started melting right away.
Mogo’s voice was getting louder and louder in the sky. He kept breaking the wall using the black rays.
Dozens of night elves were trying to stop him in the sky. Some of them fell to the ground and died, but they were quickly replaced by other soldiers.
The rest of the night elves started retreating; they were trying to protect the VIPs.
“Leave now! Queen! We’ll take care of the rest!”
A team of night elves in golden armor with greatswords in their hands were protecting several female night elves.
Two of the female night elves were children and the other one was around 30 to 40 years old. The adult night elf was wearing a golden crown and she looked quite attractive. The young night elves were only around eight years old; fear was written all over their faces. They were holding their mother’s hands tightly while watching the fight.
“Captain Vain, how many soldiers can still fly? Can we still stop that monster?” The Queen sounded tired.
“There were around 12 people left, but they escaped…” Vain sounded helpless. “Don’t worry. We royal guards will never leave you!”
The Queen forced a smile on her face but she did not say anything else. She knew that the night elves were selfish and would only fight to a certain point. They would surrender to the enemy as long as they could survive. It was a common thing in the underground world.
She looked at the cracked wall and noticed that a tall man in a black robe was walking toward them with Lance. He stepped over the broken bricks and the dead bodies. It almost looked like he was walking in a park as he looked so calm. There was even a smile on his face.
The man raised his head and looked at the Queen. They exchanged eye contact.
The Queen could feel pain coming from her eyes as she looked directly into the man’s eyes. She felt anxious and uncomfortable after being stared at.
“Retreat! Retreat!” the Queen shouted and started running with her daughters.
“Protect the Queen!” the royal guards shouted.
Angele watched them retreat and shook his head slightly.
“That’s the Spider Queen? She has the power but she’s not even fighting with her people. She’s a coward.”
Lance snorted but did not say a word. Angele ate many random body parts of the night elves on the way here, and Lance witnessed everything. She saw Angele eating female night elf’s legs, male night elf’s hearts and brains. It seemed like Angele was studying the night elf’s body by eating them.
After Angele found something new, he would do some experiments on Lance’s body. The experiments made her stomach ache and head dizzy. He tested many things on her body.
Lance could see that Angele’s red hair was moving into her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth during the experiments. The feeling was unpleasant, it felt like there were worms moving inside her body. Although Lance was trained to handle tortures, her mind almost collapsed.
Lance’s body would tremble if she looked at Angele’s face directly after all the experiments. She finally understood why the monster was afraid of Angele. Although she was scared, she knew that there was no way for her to escape. She would be captured every time she tried to run. Angele made her vomit for two whole days after she was captured; she decided to obey Angele’s orders after that.
*BAM*
A black energy wave exploded in the sky as the night elves around Mogo were all blown away. Mogo laughed and charged to the Spider Queen. He kept releasing black rays from the sky, and the night elves hit by the rays were all killed. Each of the black rays could deal over 100 degrees of damage and the wounds left on the night elves’ bodies could not be healed.
Mogo was clearing the path for Angele and Lance. There were dark liquid and broken limbs everywhere on the ground. The blood of the elves turned into small rivers—the blood rivers were running down the stone piles. A sour and stinky smell permeated the air.
The Dark City was destroyed and the underground world all experienced the terrifying force of the King of Dark Wizards. The rumors quickly spread to all the underground races.
If the Mother Tree was destroyed, the whole Night Elf Empire would collapse, and the underground world might be destroyed.
The princes learned that the Spider Queen’s force was eliminated by Mogo easily and were getting anxious. They wanted to guard the entrance to the roots of the Mother Tree, however, they decided to retreat after learning about the rumors. Some of them even wanted to move to the surface. The strong beings of the underground world were preparing for the worst.
Angele, Mogo, and Lance did not encounter any new enemy on their way to the roots of the Mother Tree.
