Chapter 641
The other two battles ended swiftly as well.
Apart from the Druid Master of Talon that had succeeded in fighting their way out of the siege with some of the druids, the remaining elves had all fallen into the hands of the adepts.
That included the three unicorns.
After all, they had no wings. They couldn’t transform into birds and fly away as the druids could. Their only option was to break through the siege on land.
However, the defensive lines that Greem had laid down were dense and concentrated. He even actively sacrificed three of the sword and shield magical machines to push back against the furious charge of the unicorns. He then gathered the firepower of the Fate Witches and knocked down the unicorns.
The battlefield statistics quickly surfaced with the dispersion of the smoke and flames of war.
The battle at Jintha’Alor had yielded the adepts two hundred and forty-one ordinary elves, six elves with combat professions (First Grade), a Druid Master of the Claw (Male, Second Grade), two adolescent unicorns–one male and one female (Second Grade)–and one unicorn foal (First Grade), a weapons master (Male, Second Grade) and an elven deadshot (Female, Second Grade), and so on.
The number of murdered forest elves totaled two hundred.
The divine rune that had remained motionless for so many days without so much as a movement was now burning like a red-hot brand. It protruded from under Greem’s forehead, appearing as scarlet as it was striking. Along with the divine rune came a subtle, obscure, and strange divine flux.
[Beep. Detecting strange energy flux.
[Source of energy flux is identified as the divine rune. The method of energy dissemination is unknown. The method of energy resonance is unknown. The nature of the energy is unknown.
[Further reminder: this energy flux has reached the level of laws. It belongs to the category of advanced planar knowledge. No matching data can be found in the database….]
Greem listened to the series of notifications from the Chip. He had no intention of interrupting these strange energy changes.
In truth, this was the first time he had personally experienced how divine power functioned. As such, the research value of this experience was unprecedentedly significant for Greem!
Greem knew what was happening due to his understanding of the primary functions of the divine rune obtained from Alice. He had let go of all irrelevant concerns. At this moment, he was working in full cooperation with the Chip and extending detailed monitoring of this process of the divine rune from silence to activation.
Divine power was a potent strength that could compare with the forces of law in the World of Adepts.
At its very core and essence, the traits of its power were far superior to the elementium skills that Greem currently commanded.
Even though divine power had always been at odds with magic, and Greem couldn’t possibly change professions and turn into a spiritualist, divine power still had irreplaceable research and reference value as a higher form of energy.
That was why Greem remained unmoved even as he was placed in danger by the divine rune as it slowly pushed him into a death trap. He focused all of his attention to the calm feeling and monitoring of every change in the rune.
A strange energy flux stirred the planar laws and rippled outward on the level of the laws.
Law movements like these were utterly unnoticeable to ordinary beings. Only talented individuals and certain spiritualists could successfully decipher these movements through the planar laws by borrowing the strength of the gods.

Garan Continent. Central Mountains.
The Goddess of Moonlight’s main temple.
Intense golden radiance suddenly emanated from the statue of the goddess standing on the moon-white platform within the spacious hall.
Temple Officiate Aurora and the two female priests who had been kneeling before the statue raised their heads in surprise.
“There’s activity from the divine rune.” One of the female priests couldn’t help but blurt out. Her face beamed with joy.
“Hurry up and inform God Messenger Xenia,” Officiate Aurora turned her head and ordered without any hesitation, “Also, gather all the temple guards in the main temple here. Prepare for a large-scale prayer ceremony. The goddess will be personally using her divine power to open a spatial corridor to the blasphemers. It will be our time to serve the goddess then!”
With the last sentence, a trace of fervent passion attached itself to the tone of this usually cold elven officiate.
A short moment later, the surroundings of the Goddess of Moonlight’s temple turned lively!
