Eternal Thief

The Elven Continent, the Elven Capital City, Elven Palace,

Right under thousands of feet under the Elven Palace.

There was a space over a thousand feet wide and tens of feet high, and this space was all made with beautiful pristine marbles, and only the floor was left alone as it was filled with complex runes.

Over fifty royal elven guards in golden armor were standing at the entrance. The elves called this place the ‘Holy Space’ because the passage to enter or exit the ‘Holy Tower’ resided right in this place.

This space was discovered by the current Elven Queen when she was young, and according to the legend, she heard the ‘calling’ from the ‘Holy Spirit,’ and that’s how she managed to come here.

She was the very first person to enter the Holy Tower, and from then on, everything changed for the elven race as they thrived under the influence of the Holy Tower, and so this also became their most guarded secret, their Holy Land.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, and a few figures entered the holy space.

In very front were an extremely handsome elf with two-meter height, long bright silver hair, and a golden crown resting over his head. However, his silver eyes were completely bloodshot at this moment and filled with killing intent.

He was excluding blood-curdling aura, making those elves behind him extremely pale as their faces were toward their feet. They didn’t dare to look toward him, afraid of receiving a death sentence because they knew he was fully capable of that.

Because this Elf with the golden crown was none other than the First Elf King Consort and current Elven King Regnant!

As for why the atmosphere was so overbearing, and the Elven King was emitting such thick killing intent, it was exactly because he received the news of his precious daughter, the Elven Crown Princess, being killed in the dual with the ‘monster!’

Furthermore, that monster was actually a Human in disguise, and he had somehow earned the Holy Lord’s favor and was darning enough to agree with the challenge set up by the Holy Lord as well.

If it were only that, the First Elven King wouldn’t be so bloodthirsty and irrational, but he wanted to skin that human alive because he killed Livia, who he loved more than anything in this world.

As for the news bearer, who was pretending to be Crown Princess Livia, she naturally ended up dead in the cruelest way at the King’s hands. Not even her ashes were left under the wrath of a Law Awareness Realm expert.

Furthermore, those other high-ranking officers who heard this grave news were also alarmed, not because of Livia’s death, but because a human somehow entered their Holy Tower and even earned the Lord’s favor.

They couldn’t care less about one life of a princess when their entire race’s future and mostly because their interest was on the line here.

But they didn’t dare to speak up about their ‘worries’ because they had never seen the First Elven King this mad, and they knew if they dared to give their opinions, they would meet the same fate as Livia’s double.

As for the Second Elven Price, Randall, and his younger brother, Third Elven Prince, Jerice, they had yet to come back.

But some of the high officers guessed that they most likely knew about the Princess’s death, and they won’t be appearing any time soon unless they wanted to meet with the enraged King.

They knew those two brothers always had their eyes on the sky and did many things to compete with Livia, but they didn’t know the First King knew about everything, but he always ignored them and didn’t interfere in the children’s quarrels since he also thought of them as his children.

Still, they were somewhat relieved that the Human won’t be able to get anything as long as the three rulers were standing in his way.

That’s why they were all planning to enter the Holy Tower and started to search for more intruders and plunge them as fast as possible while the Kings and Queen dealt with the one in the light.

They didn’t dare to take their chances with this matter because if there was more than one foreign intruder within the tower and if they could enter without them known, they would definitely be able to leave without them knowing as well.

If the other intruders were not as greedy as that human, they will definitely alert their higher-ups, and once this news blew, they all knew there would be not only humans coming after the holy tower but demonic beasts, hunters, demons, and even devils will not sit still.

The elven race was still not matched for the top five races together, so they had to bow their head. But they still wanted to salvage the situation.

At this moment, the First King stood right at the center of the formation and rolled up his sleeve, revealing the tower tattoo with seven floors filled. He poured his Qi into it and tried to activate the teleportation… again.

Again means he tried to enter the holy tower instantly when he received the news, but for some reason, the teleportation was not activated at all, which had never happened before.

So, he came here since there was no way the teleportation could not work in this place since this was the common method the elves used to reenter the tower except for those who didn’t have the authority to directly entered, like the Elven King.

The others also do the same as they were sixth-floor contenders.

However, their expression started to change when the doorway did not appear, no matter how much Qi they channeled into their tattoos.

“What is going on?” An elder elf’s panicked voice rang.

“Could it be we can only enter after one week?” A scholarly female elf guessed, but she regretted saying those words the very next moment.

Because the First King’s aura suddenly spikes, and terrifying pressure descends into the entire space.

All those elven instantly fell on their knees with pale complexion as they also guessed that the King’s tattoo was also not working and they will be going to suffer because of it.

However, the pressure soon vanished as the First King’s hoarse icy voice rang, “We’ll wait!”

Afterward, the entire space descends into eerier silence. No one dares to speak or move anymore as they all wait with stiff expressions.

A little over a day passed when all of a sudden, the entire floor suddenly lit up, and the formation had been activated by someone.

However, those elves were shocked, including the First Elven King, because this formation had never been activated before like this, and always a door would appear.

The Elven King’s danger sense started to ring in alarm as those symbols got brighter and brighter.

“Imbecilic, quickly run!” He hollered before silver Qi started to gush out, covering Elven King’s body as he looked extremely majestic and holy before he shot toward the exit without hesitation.

For him to danger, he knew something was wrong, and staying will not be a decision. How could he take revenge for his daughter if he was dead or injured?

Those officers also snapped out of their daze and used their fastest techniques to flee behind the King.

Even they started to feel a sense of crisis while staying in the middle of this formation.

Because of their speeds, they managed to leave the underground passage, but the King didn’t stop as he was moving outside the palace at terrifying speed. Those officers didn’t delay and followed suit.

“Everyone, leave the palace. Something is not right quickly!” Elven King’s reverberating voice sounded in the entire elven palace; even some closer areas around it heard his voice, bewitching everyone.

Many thoughts someone was courting death and didn’t move at all. At the same time, those few who heeded this warning were those who were familiar with the King’s voice.

However, just a minute later, after the King’s warning, something unimaginable happened.

“Boooommmmmm!”

A deafening voice rang in the elven capital, followed by a terrifying earthquake, shocking everyone, and they all hurried over to look at the source. Some of them thought they were under attack.

However, whoever looked toward the palace area was stunned-silly and rooted in their place.

Because they all saw the debris of the once magnificent Royal Palace raining down with many flesh parts and blood. But their entire focus was on the huge tower which had magically appeared in the royal palace place.

The Elven King in the sky was looking at the cracked tower with a gobsmacked expression as he had this terrifying guess about this mysterious tower’s origin.

But before anyone could react to it, the tower suddenly startled to tremble, and like some sand castle, it started to crumble down.

“Stop it!” The Elven King was spooked as he roared and used his sliver Qi to try to stop the destruction because if it was really what he thought it was, then he couldn’t let it get destroyed.

But alas, no matter what he did, his Qi couldn’t cover the entire tower, and for some reason, his Qi was completely useless against it, and the other elves’ experiences were different.

When one-third of the tower crumbled, two more elves appeared, hovering in the sky.

One was another handsome elf with the same kind of crown as the First King was wearing, while the other was an enthralling eleven beauty with a majestic golden tiara.

However, their faces were filled with bewilderment, as if they were in a dream. But alas, if only it were a dream.

The Wise Elf Race is about to go absolutely bonkers…
