In the blink of an eye, the day came when Eli surrendered.
On this day, subtle changes also occurred in the prison of the Magic City. Previously, the magic-forbidden cell was strictly guarded and guarded by a whole team of vampire kings at all times. At this time, the guards were nowhere to be seen. Listen carefully, and you can still hear from the guards.
Cheers could be heard in the lounge.
"What happened?" Seeing this situation, Master Eric in the cell couldn't help but ask.
"Master Eric, don't you know..." Beside him, Cuthbert seemed to have something to say, but before he could finish speaking, Eric interrupted him.
"No matter what, this is a rare opportunity to escape. After I disintegrate the nearby demon-banning ritual, I will use the undead killer to cause chaos, and then use space magic to escape from here. You can just follow me." Morning.
Eric, who was prepared, took a deep breath at this moment. After being captured here by the death knight Aulima, he was ready to escape, waiting for the right time to come.
Even though he was trapped in the magic-forbidden cell, Eric never gave up meditating, in order to seize the gap in the magic-forbidden ritual in the cell and secretly accumulate some mana in his body in case of emergency. Now the time has finally come, and he
As a legendary mage, he would certainly not back down at such a moment.
"No, we don't have to do this." However, Cuthbert did not agree with this behavior. Seeing that Eric was already ready to cast the spell, he quickly persuaded him, "Mage Eric, we don't need to continue fighting.
, Eli has made the decision to surrender to Rhodes, and as one of the conditions, maybe we will be safely released soon."
"What... this is impossible..." After hearing Cuthbert's words, Eric was stunned. He had never expected this result. He gave birth to countless forest creatures and gathered countless people in the apocalypse.
How could the displaced refugees, the Elven Kingdom, which can be said to be people's last hope, surrender to Rhodes?
In this regard, Cuthbert also sighed deeply: "Now Rhodes has achieved the position of the ultimate elemental monarch. Even the Lord of Hell has been defeated in his hands. The entire Eri, and even the entire world, have been defeated."
No one is his opponent. If you continue to resist, there will be no good results. It is very likely that everyone will die. If you want Eri to continue and save everyone's lives, surrender is the only way.
choose."
"I don't believe all this... everything you said is false. It is just false news released by the undead in order to weaken our will to fight. Eli, who is in danger, must be waiting for our support, whether it is magic
Neither Deken in the academy nor Gru as the guardian of the jungle will let surrender happen."
After a brief trance, Eric's eyes were fixed. His heart, which had been shaking violently because of the news of surrender, finally calmed down. Unwilling to believe that this happened, he denied what Cuthbert said.
everything, and then get ready to cast the spell again.
"No matter what you think, I want to escape from the prison now. Even if I fail for a moment, it doesn't matter. When I return to the Magic Academy, I will lead the mages there to continue fighting."
As Eric's words fell, his senses also detected the weak point of the demon banning ritual in the cell. He picked up a palm-sized piece of gravel and used the edge that was not too sharp to remove it with his palm several times.
He scratched it and smeared the blood on the weak points of the ritual. As the ritual lines were soaked in blood, the ritual in the cell also short-circuited several times and finally failed completely.
The vampire guards who noticed something strange rushed over from the lounge at this moment, but what was waiting for them was Eric's undead killer who was ready to attack.
After clearing away the obstacles of the guards, Eric opened a pale golden portal. Seeing this, Cuthbert hurriedly followed him. The two passed through the portal together and returned to the Elven Kingdom of Eri.
Returning to the City of Rain where the academy is located, what he saw in front of him made Eric slightly stunned. He saw that the elemental flag symbolizing the four lines of magic that was fluttering over the academy in the past no longer existed. Instead,
The skull and crossbones flag symbolizing the undead.
"No, it shouldn't be like this..."
The furious Eric immediately fired several magic arrows to smash the flagpole into pieces. His destruction naturally attracted the attention of many people nearby, and soon a mage responsible for protecting him came to his side.
.
"Who is destroying here...wait, are you Master Eric?"
The mage responsible for guarding quickly recognized Eric's identity. As a long-famous legendary mage in Brakada, Eric had taught countless mage apprentices in his life, including high-ranking wizards in the magic guild.
All mages need to show respect to him, so naturally his identity cannot be hidden from everyone.
Under the guardian mage's narration, Eric quickly figured out the whole story. It turned out that what Cuthbert said was true. The Eli creatures who had witnessed the power of the ultimate elemental monarch could no longer resist.
He has made the decision to surrender to Rhodes, and the fleeing mage and his party are no exception. The undead flag in the academy is the best proof.
"...The Lord of the Undead and his envoy have now arrived in Eli, and are discussing specific matters with the upper-level council of Eli in the quiet city. The president of the Magic Guild, Escher, and the president of the college, Deken,
They are all invited to attend as representatives of Eli's side." The guard mage said.
Hearing this, Eric seemed to have thought of something, and a certain light flashed in his eyes. He has always implemented the persistence of Master Brakada. He who refuses to associate with undead magic will definitely not accept this.
result.
"I originally thought that as long as I left Brakada, which is occupied by the undead, I could continue to study magic and educate apprentices safely. But now it seems that I was wrong. Some enemies will find you no matter where you escape."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From Eric's words, Cuthbert seemed to hear something, and was about to persuade him, but before he could do so, Eric
His figure disappeared first among the ripples caused by space magic.
At the same time, Rhodes, who came to the conference room of the Quiet City, was leisurely watching his undead councilors arguing with the Eli representatives. On the details of some clauses, he even became red-faced during the dispute.
As the Lord of the Undead, Rhodes would certainly not join this debate without losing his status. He would just leave everything to his undead councilors, not to mention the sharp-tongued and quick-thinking Speaker Erica and Luo among them.
De believes that they will give him a satisfactory result. All Rhodes has to do is wait calmly in the main seat.
"We can accept the ownership of the corpses, the payment of annual offerings, and the prohibition of earth magic. The guardian of the jungle will ensure that the contents are implemented accurately, but handing over the Ice Sword? This is unacceptable to us.
." Kailin, who represents Eli, faced the request made by the Undead Councilor, but she shook her head firmly at this moment. No matter which jungle guardian it is, it is impossible for her to agree to such a request and use the artifact in her hand.
hand over.
According to the undead councilors, several demands were made as a condition for accepting Eli's surrender. The first point is that the corpses of all dead creatures in Eli will belong to the Lord of the Undead, and the Eli creatures will be responsible for delivering the corpses.
Go to the country of the undead and let them usher in new life there. The second point is the most common and the easiest condition for Eli's creatures to accept. It requires Eli to turn over gold coins, wood, crystals, gems and other resources every year. The third point is
In order to strictly prohibit all creatures in Eli from using earth magic except for undead magic, the guardian of the jungle will punish those who practice earth magic. Although he doesn't understand why he does this, Eli has to agree.
Although all the demands put forward by the undead councilors are unfavorable to the Eli creatures, they have to accept it holding their noses, because now they intend to surrender. Once the negotiations break down, what awaits the Eli creatures will be even worse than those conditions.
In a bad outcome, the ultimate monarch in charge of all elements will completely destroy the entire Eri.
But at the fourth point, the problem arises. It requires the Eli creature to hand over the sword of ice, one of the artifacts. This request is naturally impossible to obtain the consent of the Eli creature. Handing the artifact to the enemy also means that
There was no possibility of resistance for Eli.
In this regard, Speaker Erica just said: "The Ice Sword contains the power to destroy the world. If you are not careful, if you let it collide with the Doomsday Blade, I am afraid that the previous catastrophe of the Divine Sword will happen again."
To repeat, handing over the Ice Sword to us is also to protect your safety."
Erica's words naturally aroused the hostility of Eli's creatures, and Memphela even said directly: "If I remember correctly, the Doomsday Blade seems to have fallen into your hands. If you plan to use two
What if the power of the divine sword destroys the world? Putting the divine sword in Eli is a better choice."
Hearing this, Erica slowly shook her head: "It seems that you still don't understand that with His Majesty Rhodes' current power, if you want to destroy the world, you don't need to rely on the power of those two divine swords, which belong to the power of the ultimate elemental monarch.
Far beyond your imagination.”
Faced with Erica's words, the nearby Eli personnel started talking. No one would question the meaning of the words, because many jungle guardians had witnessed that scene on the battlefield not long ago.
The ultimate elemental monarch, Rhodes, who dominates the power of all elements, easily defeated the arrogant king who is unmatched in the world with overwhelming force. He no longer has the power to hurt Rhodes in the slightest. If he intends to
To destroy the world, there is no need to use the power of the Ice Sword.
While everyone was arguing about the ownership of the Ice Sword, the news soon reached Jenny's ears. Regarding this, Jenny could only sigh deeply and hand over the Ice Sword for the sake of Eli now.
, seems to be the best choice.
Just as Jenny was sighing, he saw a wave of space fluctuations not far away, and at the same time there was a sound of reprimand. It seemed that someone was planning to forcefully break into the negotiation.
"What's going on?" Sensing the strange movement in the distance, Jenny took the initiative to step forward to see what happened, but saw an old figure in gray robes who was being stopped by the nearby jungle guardian.
.
"Lord Jenny, this person is planning to break in by force." The nearby guardian reported immediately, but Jenny seemed to have discovered something, waving his hand for the nearby guard to step back, and turned his attention to this person.
"Are you...Mage Eric from the academy? I remember that you should have been captured by the undead." After recognizing the man's identity, Jenny was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect to see him here.
he.
Eric just sighed slightly: "I seized the opportunity to escape, but it seems that I came back at the wrong time... Why do the people here give up fighting and choose to surrender instead? Even if Brakada is killed by the undead
Occupied, the mages there did not surrender, but chose to flee, looking for an opportunity to retake the Snowy Territory one day."
Thinking of everything he saw in Eli after his return, as well as those forest creatures that had lost their will to fight, Eric sighed, and even began to doubt whether he had done the right thing by trying so hard to escape from the prison.
Decided.
"The Lord of the Undead is already unstoppable. If we continue to fight, it will only bring unnecessary casualties." In this regard, Jenny just shook his head, "Now that things have happened, even the Ice Sword will be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
, handed over to the Lord of the Undead, I am afraid that Eli will no longer have the strength to resist in the future. I knew that the Doomsday War would end soon, but I did not expect that it would end in this way."
Hearing this, Eric also fell silent. After a long time, listening to the arguments coming from the conference room, he finally slowly said: "Since the Ice Sword is destined to be handed over to the enemy's hands, why don't you let me do it now, for the last time?
How about unleashing the power of a divine weapon?"
"Do you want to..." Jenny was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Eric to say such words. From Eric's eyes, she also saw his determination and the deep feeling in his eyes.
It belongs to the condensed will of the hero.
Creatures that awaken the heroic will are often weak creatures. The more powerful the creature, the harder it is to be shaken by external things. Naturally, it cannot be touched by the heroic will, thereby gaining the power that belongs to the hero.
From Eric's eyes now, Jenny also saw the determination in the legendary mage's heart. It was the determination to burn his life to fight the impossible enemy. It was the determination to remain upright when everyone surrendered.
Chest, unwilling to kneel with everyone, belongs to the noble integrity of the legendary mage. Jenny knew that no matter what Eli's final decision was, Eric would not choose to surrender.
"You're going to die."
In response, Jenny let out a sigh. After noticing the determination of the legendary mage, she handed the ice sword to Eric, but Eric just held the cold hilt tightly in his hand, and followed.
A cold breath burst out, and even the people inside the conference room had noticed something unusual at this moment.
