507: We are just like you

“Coming for me again?”

Seeing her shadow twist for no reason, Suneika was startled.

Shuttling through shadows was one of the Dark Elves' innate abilities.

Using this ability, they could stealthily drag people into the shadows.

The Elf civilians who died earlier had all disappeared this way.

Moreover, as the leader of the migration team, Suneika had also been subjected to two assassination attempts.

But those Dark Elves were instantly killed by the God Emperor's Imperial Guard as soon as they showed their heads.

No matter how far away that big brother was from her, he could always instantly teleport in front of her when she was in danger, blocking the attack and then killing the attacker with a single strike.

Therefore, Suneika was not nervous about the Dark Elves' beheading operations.

She even had some anticipation.

She was, after all, a Low-Tier Emperor Rank.

For the Dark Elves to attempt to behead her, they would definitely need to send a strong individual of the same tier.

The first two assassins were both Elders of Dark City, and one of them was even a Level 165 Mid-Tier Emperor Rank.

Yet, in front of the Imperial Guard, he still couldn't last a single round.

Suneika wanted to see what level of strong individual would come this time.

“Without the strength of a Peak Emperor Rank, one cannot approach me,” Suneika thought to herself.

She glanced at the Imperial Guard not far away with her peripheral vision, then looked at the twisting shadow beneath her feet, quietly waiting for the opponent to appear.

The shadow twisted wildly, spreading outwards like rampant vines.

Soon, the shadow beneath Suneika's feet expanded into a circle with a diameter of 20 meters.

At this moment, she seemed to be standing in mid-air above a black hole, forming an isolated space.

At the same time, a powerful aura was released from the black hole.

Upon sensing this aura, Suneika couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

“This aura… ”

“Something's not right!”

“It seems to be… the aura of the Dark Matron!”

Suneika swallowed hard.

The Dark Matron was one of the oldest Professionals in the Elf World.

Although she had always remained at the Peak Emperor Tier, she was an apostle of the Spider Goddess, her combat power infinitely close to the Transcendent Tier, and her foundation was simply incomparable to Professionals of the same level.

Yekaterina, also a Peak Emperor Rank, couldn't even last three rounds against her.

Thinking of the scene where her Elder sister was defeated in three moves.

Suneika's mind buzzed.

She was truly unsure if the God Emperor's Imperial Guard could withstand the Dark Matron's attack.

Suneika was just thinking.

The shadow beneath her feet began to boil like ink.

From within, eight hairy spider legs emerged.

The legs bent and landed, and then a slender figure rose from the ink.

The aura of a strong individual arrived as expected, and Suneika immediately felt the pressure on her body intensify.

She looked at the person in front of her, only feeling a chill in her throat.

It was a female Dark Elf dressed in a black gown and veiled in black gauze.

The eight spider legs supporting her body indicated her identity.

The Dark Matron!

“Imperial Guard!!!” Suneika cried out in fear.

At this moment, she felt she had truly made a name for herself.

To actually cause the Old Ancestor of the Elf World to personally make a move.

With her strength as a Low-Tier Emperor Rank, she simply couldn't withstand the Dark Matron's attack.

Hearing Suneika's cry, the Elf Elder and Elf guards nearby rushed over.

They only took two breaths to arrive in front of Suneika.

But when they saw that the visitor was the Dark Grandmother, they all subconsciously took a step back at the same time, shielding Suneika in front of them.

“Natasha!”

Upon seeing the Dark Matron, the Elf Elder's eyes blazed with Hatred, and at the same time, sweat beaded on his forehead.

As an older Elf, he had once fought the Dark Matron on the battlefield.

That battle directly made him an only son.

His three brothers were all instantly killed by this Devil Head with a single blow.

However, upon seeing his enemy again, his urge for revenge was suppressed by fear, and he couldn't even utter a single word to vent his anger.

If a Peak Emperor Tier Elf Elder was like this, the other Elf warriors were even more ashen-faced.

For them, who were less than 100 years old, the Dark Matron was a terrifying legend.

Suneika saw the state of the Elder and the Elf warriors and knew they were all going to their deaths.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Guard, the only one who might be able to contend with the Dark Matron, remained motionless.

“Could it be that he only acts when I am attacked?” Suneika thought to herself.

Indeed, the Imperial Guard's first three moves were all counterattacks after parrying.

It seemed he only knew this one move.

But what if he couldn't defend this time?

Just as Suneika was drenched in sweat.

The Dark Matron in front of her spoke.

“Suneika, you've set up camp here too far from the water source.”

“Huh?” Suneika was slightly stunned.

What was she talking about?

Before Suneika could react, the Dark Matron continued, “You should go west, deeper into the Twisted Forest. There's a large lake there that can provide enough water for the migration team.”

Hearing the Dark Matron say this, Suneika was still confused, but she understood the other party's meaning.

The Dark Matron was… offering advice to the migration team?

No… this doesn't quite fit the Dark Elves' persona, does it?

Suneika had long known there was a lake ten kilometers to the west.

But she simply didn't dare to use the water source in the Twisted Forest.

Who knew if the Dark Elves would poison the lake?

This was a common trick of theirs.

Was the Dark Matron suggesting this because she thought Suneika was a fool?

“No… ”

“The Dark Matron wouldn't be that foolish either,” Suneika said to herself.

In the Elf World, no creature didn't guard against the Dark Elves.

The Dark Matron had many ways to deal with her.

How could she specially come all this way to trick her into drinking their poisoned water?

Such a brain-dead action shouldn't appear from her.

The Dark Matron shook her head slightly and said, “Don't worry, we haven't poisoned the lake water, and we will help you complete the migration of all the Forest Elves.”

“W-why?”

Hearing the Dark Matron's words, Suneika and the others all felt it was unbelievable.

How could the cruel Dark Elves suddenly have a change of heart?

You were still gutting and flaying the Forest Elves yesterday!

“Suneika…”

The Elf Elder shook his head slightly towards Suneika,

Signaling her not to believe the Dark Elves' nonsense.

Suneika naturally knew the Dark Elves were untrustworthy.

But she truly didn't feel any malice from the Dark Matron.

Moreover, the Imperial Guard still hadn't acted, which also indirectly confirmed this point.

Suneika was silent for a moment, then asked the Dark Matron, “Why do you think I would believe you?”

The Dark Matron looked up at the inverted sword in the sky, a look of piety flashing in her eyes, and said, “All Dark Elves have submitted to the God Emperor.”

After speaking, she looked at Suneika again, placed her hand on her chest, and performed a slight Elf courtesy.

“Meletheldi (Elvish: Sister).”

“From now on, we, like you, are all subjects of the God Emperor.”

Suneika: “???”

Elf Elder: “???”

All Elf warriors: “???”
