Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 110 - : Domination of the Soul!
Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Domination of the Soul!
“`html
In the southeastern area of the Elf Forest, Boxed Lunch was leading his combat squad on an exploration.
“Boxed Lunch, now that all the major guilds have begun searching for Rivendell, why aren’t we heading there?”
One of the players asked curiously.
Boxed Lunch fell silent for a moment, then said,
“No mission.”
...
No mission?
The remaining team members were momentarily stunned.
But soon, they realized that Boxed Lunch was referring to the fact that the Goddess had not issued any related tasks.
One of the team members sighed,
“Boxed Lunch, I think we don’t have to act according to the tasks issued by the Goddess every time. This game has a high level of freedom; we can completely explore on our own, and we might even stumble upon a hidden storyline.”
Boxed Lunch was silent for a moment again, then said,
“When we take a mission, we should finish it well.”
Player: …
Boxed Lunch was not wrong either; they had received a mission from Alice to find the Half-Beast’s stronghold. Indeed, finding the stronghold was the priority.
But… knowing is one thing; seeing all the players on the forum rushing to find Rivendell, with this legendary city being so mysterious as told by the NPCs, it was hard not to be tempted.
“It won’t be long.”
Boxed Lunch threw down another line, leaping forward at a brisk pace.
The rest of the team exchanged looks and had no choice but to follow.
They were already approaching the edge of the Elf Forest, and based on the information obtained from the elves of the Flame Tribe, it was estimated that they would soon find traces of the Half-Beasts.
In fact, if it weren’t for the righteous Black Dragon Mairrel refusing to be their guide, they would have already tracked down the Half-Beasts.
While on the move, suddenly… Boxed Lunch stopped.
His expression instantly became very serious.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing their captain acting as if facing a great enemy, the other players immediately became alert.

“Someone is approaching; the opponent is very strong…”
Boxed Lunch said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other players turned solemn in an instant.
Boxed Lunch was of the Hunter profession, and he had recently exchanged for a scouting aura ability. Coupled with his originally strong awareness, his warning capability was very powerful.
Boxed Lunch’s words were never aimless.
“Clap… clap… clap…”
Just as everyone was on alert, a series of elegant clapping sounds suddenly came from ahead.
A tall figure gradually appeared in front of them.
A handsome, pale face, crimson eyes, a black single ponytail, and that perpetually crease-free black robe…
It was a nightwalker.
“Not bad, very vigilant.”
He gestured lightly, and a goblet filled with blood appeared in his hand, which he sipped lightly.
In an instant, the players’ faces turned solemn.
Because they hadn’t sensed this person’s approach at all!
At this moment, they were once again amazed by Boxed Lunch’s perception.
And after their vigilance, they gradually began to get excited…
*Is this… a new NPC? Could they be about to trigger a hidden storyline?*
The nightwalker was powerful, but not only that; as a member of the self-proclaimed noble Blood Clan, they had quite a flair in their attire and demeanor.
To put it plainly, they were very flashy and ostentatious.
His entrance indeed stunned several players, giving them a bit of imagination.
Boxed Lunch’s eyes also brightened slightly, and he said in a deep voice,
“Who are you, sir?”
The nightwalker was somewhat surprised.
The characteristics of the Blood Clan were quite distinctive, but these elves didn’t seem to recognize him…
Not only that, but after he appeared, he did not conceal his powerful aura. Yet the elves on the opposite side, aside from being vigilant, weren’t afraid or intimidated. Instead, they seemed somewhat excited…
*Truly ignorant and strange elves!*
The nightwalker’s lips curved into a slight smile, and his crimson eyes suddenly burst forth with a deep red light. His voice was irrefutable,
“I command you… to tell me your origins and who the entity behind you is. What is she planning?”
A subtle spiritual wave emanated from the nightwalker, rushing straight into the minds of several people!
[Soul Domination]
This was a spirit-control type magic of the nightwalker, acting directly on the soul.
Anyone with soul power lower than his would become his puppet!
However, to the nightwalker’s surprise, he was met not with their submission but with expressions that seemed to be looking at an idiot:
“Why should we submit?”
“Why would we tell you these things?”
Nightwalker: …
*It… it didn’t work?*
His eyes widened in sheer surprise.
“Is this NPC dumb?”
Seeing his dazed expression, a player mumbled.
The nightwalker’s face darkened.
He coldly snorted, and his entire body turned into a shadow.
“Watch out!”
Boxed Lunch’s face changed.
Even before the players could react, the nightwalker had already rushed up and grabbed the throat of the unlucky player who had just spoken.
The other players immediately tensed, quickly drawing their weapons to attack the nightwalker, but the nightwalker just lightly raised his hand and blocked all their attacks.
“So strong…!”
The players’ expressions were shocked.
They knew that the average level of Boxed Lunch’s team was definitely the highest among all players!
They exchanged a glance, nodded, and turned to flee.
If they couldn’t win, they would run.
Standing firm was not a thing for players.
Especially now that the perfect respawn count was dropping less frequently, every life was important to them!
Even Boxed Lunch hesitated for a moment, glanced at the player caught by the nightwalker, and chose to escape as well.
“Hu Lu… sorry, the hidden storyline’s all yours.”
He shouted to the captured player before fleeing.
Hu Lu: …
Seeing his teammates attempting to escape, a hint of ridicule flickered across the nightwalker’s expression.
He let out a cold snort, and countless black bats were released from him, enveloping the fleeing players and biting them.
The players were horrified to find that their bodies gradually lost control under the bats’ bites.
Their bodies stiffened, and they fell to the ground one by one.
Boxed Lunch’s face changed, pulling out a dagger to ward off the attacking bats, but after taking down the other players, all the bats converged on him alone.
Even he couldn’t hold on for long and eventually collapsed slowly.
Boxed Lunch gritted his teeth, raised his dagger, and sliced his own arm, the blood flowing freely.
But even so, he couldn’t break free from the paralysis…
After subduing all the players, the bats returned to the nightwalker’s body.
This was his bat transformation, capable of secreting a special toxin of the Blood Clan that would numb the target’s body and eventually render them out of control.
It’s a toxin commonly used by the Blood Clan when hunting blood supply targets.
Even with Boxed Lunch’s self-infliction, freedom was impossible.
The nightwalker was quite satisfied. He shifted his gaze to the player he had grabbed.
The player named Hu Lu looked at his fallen teammates with a helpless expression.
Still, he showed no fear but instead examined the nightwalker with curious and innocent eyes.
Hmm…
Based on Dema’s experience, cooperating appropriately when captured could trigger a hidden storyline…
Nightwalker: …
Hu Lu’s compliant expression made the nightwalker even more surprised, even causing him to shudder involuntarily:
*Ignorant and fearless… and a bit nauseating, strange elf…*
He squinted his eyes and once more cast [Soul Domination].
This time, the target was only Hu Lu.
Yet his magical spiritual attack fell like a stone into the sea, without a ripple…
“Immune to spirit-type magic, huh…”
The nightwalker murmured.
A thought crossed his mind, and his eyes turned crimson again:
“Tell me… your secrets and… what was that hidden mission you mentioned earlier.”
This time, he abandoned spirit-type magic.
Instead, he chose psychological suggestion, directly affecting the consciousness!
