Chapter 1050 The Second Coming Of The Child Of Light [Part 2]

"Lux, where are we?" Aurora asked as she looked at her surroundings.

She could tell that people frequented this place since there was a path that led to the river. 

Lux didn't tell her where they were going, but she assumed that it must be an important place to the Half-Elf, since he was looking at his surroundings as if he was reminiscing about something.

"This is the Land of Ashe Entheas," Lux replied. "I have come here to look for someone."

"Who?" Aurora asked.

"… Someone very important," Lux answered. "If not for her tragedy, I wouldn't be here today."

Aurora glanced at the Half-Elf, who suddenly showed a sad expression on his face. She didn't know what kind of tragedy he was talking about, but for the time being, she decided to not ask any questions.

"Understood," Aurora said as she held Lux's hand. "You can always tell me when you're ready, okay?"

Lux nodded. "Thank you, Aurora."

The Half-Elf held her hand firmly and gave it a light squeeze. This was his way of telling her that he was alright.

He then took a deep breath before glancing towards the East. 

He could sense a strong congregation of life force in that direction, which is how he knew that there was a settlement not far from where they stood.

"Let's go this way," Lux said as he pointed towards the East. "I believe that there is a village of Elves nearby. I don't know how they will react to strangers, so make sure to stay on your guard."

Aurora nodded seriously after hearing Lux's statement.

She had already become a C-Ranker. 

This meant that as long as she wouldn't be fighting against a High-Ranker, she would be able to protect herself just fine.

Lux held her hand and walked at a steady pace. It was neither fast nor slow. 

Clearly, he was not in a hurry to get to their destination and took time to enjoy the scenery as he took one step at a time.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a tall wooden gate with intricate designs.

The Elves were known for their artistic side. Some of them dedicated their lives to their art, creating masterpieces that would often be sold in Human Domains and bought by wealthy nobles.

"Halt!" a loud shout reached Lux's and Aurora's ears as several Elves on top of the wooden walls aimed their bows and arrows in their direction. 

"Who are you and what are you doing in our lands?"

Lux scanned the faces of the Elves and was pleasantly surprised when he noticed that all of them were D-Rankers.

The one who shouted was a B-Ranker, which made him the strongest among the guards who were just a push away from releasing their arrows.

"My name is Lux Von Kaizer, and this young lady beside me is my Fiance, Aurora Von Kaizer," Lux replied. "We are just adventurers who happened to travel to these parts. We have been traveling for days, and if possible, we wish to replenish our food supplies and take a rest inside your village to recover our strength."

The Guards glanced at each other, while their Guard Captain narrowed his eyes. 

He could tell that Lux was an A-Ranker, while Aurora was a C-Ranker.

He was stronger than Aurora, but he was not a match against the red-headed Half-Elf, who made him feel disgusted.

"Half-Elves are not allowed to enter our village," the Guard Captain replied in disdain. "The mere fact that you have stepped inside our lands is already a crime in itself. However, since we are not fond of conflicts, we will allow you to leave with your lives intact. Leave Ashe Entheas, and don't step foot inside it again!"

The other Elves also nodded their heads. No matter what happens, they will never allow a Half-Elf to enter their village.

Lux frowned because if possible, he didn't want to start a conflict with the Elves. 

However, since he had come to meet someone, he couldn't possibly return without meeting her.

"Are you sure that we really can't stay in your village?" Lux tried to ask one more time. "We just need two days to rest. I promise that we will leave in two days."

"Did you not hear me, Half-Elf?" the Guard Captain whom Lux named Villager A inside his head shouted. "You are not welcome here! Get lost before we lose our patience!"

"Get out!"

"Scram!"

"Filthy Half-Blood!"

Aurora looked at Lux anxiously because she could tell that they really had no intention of letting him inside their village.

If this were the same Lux from three months ago, then perhaps he might have left silently or looked for another method to enter peacefully. 

However, Lux was different now.

If people didn't like him then he didn't like them either!

He had enough of being looked down upon and getting bullied by people.

Since he couldn't settle things peacefully then he would settle things a little "less peacefully."

"Come, Avernus," Lux ordered. "Help me convince these people to let me inside their village."

Suddenly a Giant Dracolich appeared behind Lux, catching the Elves by surprise.

Avernus then roared fiercely, sending a shockwave that rippled across the Lands of Ashe Entheas, alerting the powerhouses who were protecting its Domain to his presence.

The Protectors of the Elven Village rushed towards the Gate, with the intention of protecting their Domain.

However, the moment their eyes landed on the Giant Dracolich, whose presence exceeded that of a Saint, all of them felt as if their legs had turned to jelly.

Avernus smiled evilly as it unleashed its Dragon Fear, making the Elves who had all gathered on top of the walls of the village fall down to their knees.

At that moment, an old elf, whom Lux recognized, appeared on top of the walls and bowed his head respectfully towards Avernus. 

"Y-Your Excellency, I apologize if my people offended you," the Village Head, who went by the name, Ammar, said with reverence. "We are just simple villagers, living simple lives. I beg of you, please spare us."

"Spare you?" Avernus snorted. "Did you know how your guards insulted my Master when he tried to peacefully enter your village? Filthy, lowly, puny, ugly, despicable, snot-nosed Elves—are all of you courting death?

"Even if you sold every Elf in this village, it is still nowhere enough to pay for a drop of my Master's blood. Who gave all of you the balls to act cocky, hmmm? Just where is that confidence of yours coming from?"

Ammar, who was facing Avernus' cold, and merciless eyes, shuddered uncontrollably. 

He could tell that if he didn't choose his words carefully, he and his entire village would disappear from the face of the world in an instant.

"I-it is my fault that His Excellency's Master has suffered," Ammar stated. "I should have told the guards to be more lenient to visitors who are traveling within our lands. I promise that this incident will not happen again. So if you please…"

"Of course, this incident will not happen again," Avernus cut off Ammar's reply. "Because after I'm done with you, this village will cease to exist."

The Guards and their Captain, who heard this, cried out in alarm. All of them began to beg for forgiveness.

If they only knew that the Half-Elf could summon a Calamity-Ranked Monster, they wouldn't dare to offend him the way they did earlier.

Offending someone with a Calamity-Ranked Monster when the strongest beings in the Six Kingdoms were only Saints?

Simply courting death.
