The nurous tree roots shot after the escaping Elf King from every direction. However, the Elf King easily evaded every single attack with his agile maneuvers in the air, weaving through the gaps in between the tree roots.
The tree roots collided with each other, but they did not shatter into fragnts like brittle wood. Rather, they branched off, splitting apart to form dozens of smaller sub-roots before shooting after the Elf King.
In a matter of monts, the few dozen roots were transford into thousands of sub-roots after several collisions and ford countless large nets after tangling themselves.
However, these large nets connected and ford an enormous cage that trapped the Elf King inside.
"Dammit!"
King Erendriel shot straight into the cage's wall, intending to break through the enclosure with brute force!
Bam!
He struck the wall of roots with all his strength, shaking the root cage mildly before being repelled by the counterforce of the rebound!
The enormous Elder Tree's tree roots have been reduced to the thickness of a human finger and might seem easy to break due to its lowered defense.
However, the weaving and intertwining of countless sub-roots actually raised its defensive strength to a higher level than its forr shape and created an unbreakable cage!
Shortly after the Elf King was bounced back the counterforce, the Guardian Spirit began to tighten its countless sub-roots, shrinking the unbreakable cage in size.
With nowhere to go, the Elf King's movents were quickly restricted and bound by the sub-roots like so object wrapped in many layers of rubber bands that ford a ball.
"Uwarghhh!" King Erendriel roared.
He tried to resist and break free but to no avail. His efforts were futile.
"Good girl."
Leon nodded with a smile and tossed the supre-grade spirit stone over to one of the Guardian Spirit's spare tree roots.
The Elder Tree caught the supre-grade spirit stone with joy and quickly absorbed all the Spirit Energy in an instance before writhing in pleasant delight.
anwhile, Supre Elder Haldir was dumbfounded by the change of events.
He made his way over to Leon with a puzzled look and asked, "Young prince, what exactly is going on here? Why does it seem like the Guardian Spirit adores you? Just what did you give it?"
"I gave it a supre-grade spirit stone, ford from the purest of Spirit Energy that the World Tree produces." Leon casually explained.
Supre Elder Haldir was startled.
He had been to the World Tree and sensed the overflowing richness of life that the World Tree gives off.
However, he did not expect that the vast amount of Spirit Energy could beco so concentrated, it would crystalize into a solid form.
"Don't tell , this 'supre-grade spirit stone' was made by you, young prince?"
"That's right, I was the one who created it. Otherwise, it would take tens of thousand years before a supre-grade spirit stone is ford naturally."
Leon admitted.
Once again, Supre Elder Haldir was astounded by Leon's ans.
Shortly after, Supre Elder Haldir glanced at the tightly bounded Elf King before he asked, "What do you plan to do with Elf King, young prince?"
"What do I plan to do with the Elf King, you ask? Nothing." Leon shrugged and said, "Since this your tribe's problem, I should leave it to you on how you want to handle it, Marquis Haldir."
"Understood, young prince."
Supre Elder Haldir nodded.
If Leon killed the Elf King, it would cause a rift in the relationship between humans and elves. This runs counterplan to what they were trying to achieve after integrating the elves into human society.
"Stop the fight!"
"Supre Elder, we have co to assist you!"
A group of 8 Elders suddenly rushed over before they paused and looked around. After a mont, they looked back at Supre Elder Haldir in the skies with confusion and asked, "Where's King Erendriel?"
"Aren't you guys a bit late in coming forward to help?"
Supre Elder Haldir wrinkled his brows with displeasure before he said, "King Erendriel is right over there!"
The Elders gazed at the round top of the pillar made from tree roots in the distance. Shortly after, they discovered a person hidden inside with only his face revealed on the surface.
Their exaggerated expressions of being dumbfounded made Leon rolled his eyes. These cowardly old fogies were obviously pretending not to know anything when they already do.
"If you're done being stupid, then hurry up and go help the tribesn!" Supre Elder Haldir growled.
"Y-Yes, Supre Elder!"
The Elders were imdiately startled into action and quickly left.
Leon shook his head and comnted, "The higher-ups in your tribe seems rather hopeless, Marquis Haldir."
"Haiz…" Supre Elder Haldir sighed and said, "Years of peace and lavish lifestyles dwindled the spirit of their past selves. The older one ages, the more they cling to life…"
Leon nodded in agreent before he suddenly recalled sothing and said, "Do what you must do and let us talk later, Marquis Haldir. There's sothing I need to check on."
"Alright."
Shortly after Leon excused himself and descended towards one of the big crevices on the surface, Supre Elder Haldir glanced back at King Erendriel with a cold glint.
"Now, what should I do with you?"
At the sa ti, Aria flew over with Faelyn on the back of her ice-lightning sword before Faelyn quickly asked with an anxious look, "Supre Elder, may I asked you plan to do with my father?"
"I will kill him. But before that, there are so things that I need to find out from King Erendriel." Supre Elder Haldir frowned for a mont.
The colors in Princess Faelyn's eyes quickly dulled with a look of sorrow.
Although she had expected such an answer from the Supre Elder, she was still sad to hear the Supre Elder's death sentence.
"May I have a few monts with my father first, Supre Elder?"
Supre Elder Haldir paused for a mont before he nodded, "Alright, but make it quick."
"Thank you, Supre Elder." Faelyn curtsied gratefully.
Shortly after, she turned towards her father and asked, "Why have you beco like this, father? Why did you go against the Supre Elder and cause such a huge ss in the tribe? Do you have any idea how many tribesn have died because of this?"
"Why does that matter? They are just bottom feeders anyway. Their lives are inconsequential to ours." King Erendriel gave a heartless response.
Although a smile was hung on King Erendriel's face, he was emotionless, causing Princess Faelyn to only feel coldness in her heart.
Was this still the father she knew? Why does it feel like her father's ntality has been twisted into soone different entirely?
