Blood Elf Monarch

Chapter 363 Siege 4



A few minutes before King Vizier got flung and slammed into the castle's outer wall.

Tristan walked over to Levi's body which was already lifeless due to the fatal attack of the high elven elder, Kolvar.

The current appearance of Levi's corpse looked very terrible, pitiful even. Even though the man had slowly changed back into his normal elf form, Tristan could still see the blood vessels under the man's skin were blue and thickened unnecessarily.

However strange the situation was, Tristan's mind was focused on something else entirely. To be exact, on the fact that finally one elf magus was dead and with that realization he quickly turned his gaze toward the dead man's chest, where a glowing stone-like crystal slowly flew out of the corpse.

"Spirit soul!"

When he saw it, Tristan was so elated that his face turned really bright for a second. He wanted to extract the soul right away.

Unfortunately for the excited man, the half-moon magus Kolvar was faster than him. Using just a slight gesture from his hand, the spirit soul was suddenly pulled into a silver jar, as if it was sucked by a black hole.

"What…? Why?" Tristan was unconsciously asked because of how caught off guard he was.

When he heard that, Kolvar looked at him strangely before saying, "What do you mean by why? I will return him to the Mirkwood elves, of course. What is your reason for wanting it?"

Not wanting his plan to be discovered, Tristan quickly made some excuses that sounded believable and then swerved the topic by explaining about the strange transformation he had just witnessed, not just Levi but the other wounded elves as well.

Kolvar, who was still standing before his king Castian, decided to take a few steps and look at Levi's corpse closer. As he did so, the man seemed to be deep in thought.

In the meantime, Tristan had his focus on something he desperately wanted - the silver jar where Levi's spirit soul was. His mind quickly went into drive to find a way to get that jar; he needed it.

A moment later, the two's attention were attracted by the sounds of footsteps on the stairs. Someone apparently came to the second floor room, and the two immediately turned their heads to the stairs. It was the dark eleven princess, Illiana.

"What's going on here?" asked Illiana when she noticed the dead body between the two.

Tristan looked at his wife with an expression of relief. He was glad to see her back in good condition.

"It's the curse of the wolves. The elves here were corrupted by the wolf blood" said Kolvar, basing his words on the evidence he found.

"How could that be?" Illiana couldn't believe what she had just heard. Moreover, she only saw the corpse of Levi, who had returned to his normal form. Only, the man's skin was pale and blue because they were lifeless.

If it wasn't because of Tristan who help explain, Illiana would have thought that the high elves Kolvas just killed the poor magus Levi.

Illiana's face suddenly changed as she asked:

"Is it because of the wound from the wolves' attack earlier? Or is it some kind of disease that makes those infected from the wolves' attacks turn into wolf-like creatures?"

When Iliana said those words, Tristan immediately turned anxious. His mind couldn't help but think about the battle outside.

In his head, he thought back to the science fiction films he had watched while living on earth. It was about the existence of a virus that infects humans and makes humans turn into the walking dead - zombies.

"Is it that bad? The wars? How many of them got injured from the wolves?" Tristan asked curiously, with a hint of apprehension.

Illiana stared at Tristan for a few seconds before letting out a deep breath and replying, "Many of them get bitten and scratched by the wolves. Do you think that they will transform into wolf-like creatures too?" The latter part was obviously directed at Kolvar, who showed a thoughtful expression.

However, the high elven elder, Kolvar, seemed to be busy thinking about other things after hearing the conversation between Illiana and Tristan. His eyes suddenly looked far away, as if he was recalling events that had taken place in the past.

"The wound that they got from the wolves. It made them transform into their kin." Kolvar suddenly muttered.

"There is a legend from the Asgardian, a very old one. The legend said that there is an almighty wolf called Fenrir. People of the Asgardian believe it was the giant wolf will who kill their almighty gods and with it from the blood of the wolf came the cursed that turn even the strongest of them into a beast"

Kolvar strongly believes that the legend of Ragnarok that befell the Asgardians was true. Especially after he saw firsthand the existence of the night wolves army that was now besieging the castle, initiating a war.

Before Tristan could respond, suddenly there was a commotion from the lower floors of the castle.

BAMM!

CRASSH!

"Retreat! Defend the castle! Don't let them in!" Callan's voice shouted from under the floor loudly, followed by the sound of noisy footsteps of several people who had returned to the palace.

Tristan immediately ran towards the stairs to see what was going on downstairs.

Dozens of high-elve saints seemed to have returned from the war injured, their bodies covered in fresh blood that was dripping profusely, staining their armor. Several parts of the body seemed torn apart down to the flesh, the claw marks from the claw wolves looked very deep tore through their armor.

This certainly made Tristan anxious. It took only less than two hours for Levi and the other saint to turn into one, he wonder how long this batch going to last. The worst of this situation was when they turn into one, these elves blood will be extractable.

"Darn it!"

At the same time, the sound of Callan shout can be heard as he called the Elves to retreat.

"Retreat!, Leave the gate! hold back to the central gate!"

All the dozens saint level elves entered the lower castle and there were at least another dozen wounded being carried inside.  Seeing those wolf bite wounds on their bodies, Tristan knows that the situation just escalated to another level.
