Chapter 698
Neeeiiigh!
A tragic and drawn out neigh rang out as the handsome Skysteed King fell from the skies, shrouded in a cloak of black smoke.
The sizzling sound of corroding flesh could be heard from its body as it crashed.
Everyone on the battlefield was smart enough to see that the Skysteed King’s odds were slim!
Even though defeat was inevitable and meaningless slaughter was the only thing that awaited them, the remaining pegasi refused to retreat.
They were not fighting right now; they were stalling for time.
As long as they could drag out the battle until the elven army arrived, these enemies would immediately retreat.
They had to protect the irreplaceable magic spring, even if they all had to sacrifice themselves for that cause.
Now that there were none, the battle today could commence.
If there had been a Third Grade, Greem would not have been as foolish as to risk his life for the sake of the Dark Witches. He would have hightailed it and ran as far as he could. He wouldn’t ever use his own life to test the strength of a Third Grade elf.
A Third Grade elf might be weak, but that was only relative to a Third Grade adept.
An elf of that level would have no problem dealing with a Second Grade adept!
As such, Greem instantly found the courage within himself when he sealed the path and found no Third Grades amongst the enemy’s ranks.
“Leave the green dragon and that elven brat to me. The rest is yours!”
Greem spared no words or time and quickly divided the enemy between Mary and himself.
Mary might have shocking short-distance flight speed, but her flaw of weak offensive power would be on clear display against a tough and sturdy opponent like the green dragon. It seemed like Greem was being unfair by claiming only two enemies for himself while leaving nearly a hundred aerial knights to Mary.
However, in truth, he had only made a decision based on their respective strengths!
Mary knew this very well and chuckled as she turned into a crimson cloud and threw herself into the midst of her enemies.
“Ah!”
“Careful!”
“There…”
“Dodge, quick!”
For a moment, grunts of pain rang out amidst the elven knights. It was only now that the elves realized that these two mysterious adepts had appeared to ambush them.
“You two are mine.”
The flame humanoid Greem had turned into possessed a loud and resounding voice due to its size.
Both the green dragon and the beautiful female elf on its back changed expressions upon hearing this. An expression of intense humiliation and anger appeared on their faces.
“You are courting death!” The beautiful female elf extended her slender hand and grabbed the strange elven longbow on her back, “Oridela, we will teach him a lesson!”
The ferocious green dragon reared its head and roared. It then beat its mighty green wings and dove toward Greem.
It was the combination of an elven deadshot and a green dragon!
Greem’s large eyes froze for a second as they fell upon the longbow in the elf’s hands.
The green dragon and the female elf were already putting immense pressure upon him. However, if he were honest, even the spiritual pressure of these two enemies combined could not compare to the pressure from the longbow!
Greem felt a chill in his heart when the female elf nocked an arrow and drew the bow. Even from two hundred meters away, he could sense that dreadful pressure from the longbow.
The Chip quickly identified the bow through a trace of energy flux that it had leaked. A report soon appeared in his mind.
[Beep. Warning. Warning. Detecting high-energy convergent weapon.
Form: Bow.
Means of attack: energy-shaping, energy compression, energy enhancement.
Attacked offensive effect: out-of-order conveyance strike.
Basic offensive power: 200-300points.
Note: according to the laws of the Faen Plane, this weapon might be classified as a pseudo-artifact.]
Pseudo-Artifact?
Even Greem’s heart couldn’t help but tremble when he heard these words.
The Staff of Divination that Alice was always dreaming about also seemed to be a pseudo-artifact. The Second Grade elf that had appeared before him was also holding a pseudo-artifact in her hands.
Dammit! Aren’t there too many pseudo-artifacts on this plane?
In the World of Adepts, the adepts had classified magical equipment into four grades based on their compatibility with the adepts of those grades: First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade, and Fourth Grade. The so-called pseudo-artifact of Faen Plane was of the same tier as Fourth Grade magical equipment.
However, in the World of Adepts, a Fourth Grade magical equipment would never fall into the hands of a low-grade adept!
Even if a low-grade adept had been fortunate enough to obtain high-grade magical equipment, they would not be able to hold it for long. In fact, the gear would easily draw death toward them.
Meanwhile, the existence of gods on Faen caused the chances of mortals obtaining high-grade weapons to be significantly higher. Followers who were favored by the gods could easily be rewarded by the gods for all sorts of reasons.
Thus, several low-end pseudo-artifacts were created in this manner!
