Chapter 521: Chapter Twelve: Greenwood Divine Chain VS Yingluo

Komer’s eyes, filled with an intent to kill, fixed on the timorous face of the approaching Elf Thief. Waves of violent rage swelled in his chest, the bubbling fury all but poised to take over his mind. Komer was using all of his energy to fight against the impending eruption of murderous intent, but like a crazed tide that refused to ebb, it did not diminish despite his forceful repression. Once the crack in his spirit opened, it was beyond human control.

Gradually, Komer realized that he was losing the ability to harness the surging homicidal urge that threatened to break free from its cage in his chest. His heart was growing colder, and if the killing intent were to break through his mental control, he feared he would instantly become a frenzied Mage, embarking on a wild slaughter until he died, drained of his magical strength.

"I’m sorry, sir, and thank you for helping me," Finitz had no idea that she was stepping so close to the edge of death. The young Mage before her seemed to be in a plight due to overexertion in casting spells, his face pale and muscles on his checks appeared to be trembling. She was utterly astonished when her sizable Tornado Storm was resisted by his Star Magic Defense Shield—such a feat left her almost unable to close her gaping mouth.

For Finitz, who came from an Elf background, it was her first time witnessing a Wind Magic Array as grand as Tornado Storm being counteracted by a Magic Shield. She wondered whether it was due to her limited experience or if the man was indeed overly formidable—perhaps it was a combination of both.

Now it seemed that the young Mage was struggling from overcasting, and Finitz longed to help him.

Even from the moment he appeared, she recognized him, the Stone Pendant that belonged to him was still hanging in front of her breast. Finitz didn’t know what material the Yingluo was made of—it looked like jade but it wasn’t, resembled stone but also not. Yet, this Yingluo, hanging at her heart, offered an unexpected tranquility, harmonizing strangely well with the Greenwood Divine Chain around her neck.

Shockingly, Finitz found that when changing her undergarments, the Yingluo and Greenwood Divine Chain seemed to merge tightly under light, alternating between yellow luminescence and light green glimmers, mingling and separating at times, creating an indescribably mesmerizing effect. The pendant even made the twin mounds on her chest appear translucent and silky, adding a lustrous, creamy texture.

Komer’s gaze stayed piercingly on the Elf who was now before him, her face a mix of concern and guilt. She had taken off her fluffy hat, and her fine hair cascaded down her neck, revealing her delicate, Elf-characteristic pointed ears. Komer could even smell the faint wood fragrance coming off her—the scent peculiar to Forest Elves, a result of their inherent lifestyle and affinity with certain plants, which of course was quite comforting.

Her eyes were larger and brighter than those of Mortals, clear like azure water, with lashes so fine that Komer could see every filament. Her dainty, aquiline nose bore the delicate texture unique to Elves, and those slightly parted, cherry lips brought a youthful charm to her pale face. The killing intent that had swelled to its peak within Komer unexpectedly began to subside at her presence, leaving him relieved but utterly perplexed. Could it be that this Elf was indeed the lucky star sent to rescue him from great peril?

However, Komer soon realized his train of thought was rather naive. His gaze slid past her fretful face and into the slightly opened garment, where a pair of ornaments swayed in front of her subtly visible, budding chest, one of which was the very Stone Pendant he had prepared for Lome.

At that moment, Komer dared not make a move: it was a matter of life and death for him. Although the tumultuous energy in his chest showed signs of being suppressed, he was certain it had something to do with the ornaments—including the Stone Pendant—around her neck. The Stone Pendant itself was no ordinary object, but it seemed improbable it could single-handedly quell the overwhelming surge of his murderous rage. This meant the other item on her chest must be the key to restraining the deadly urge inside him and presumably what those pursuers had desperately sought to claim.

Realizing her chest was under his intense scrutiny, Finitz blushed and with a startled "oh!" quickly covered the front of her somewhat revealing brassiere. Elves naturally favored simplicity and distaste for excess, so Finitz often went without the breast support considered essential by Mortal women and wore only a basic inner brassiere. Unsure whether he was fixated on the Yingluo originally belonging to him or something else, she was a mix of shyness and guilt, finding herself at a loss for words.

"Lend me those two ornaments you have on your chest," Komer managed to squeeze out, finally able to control the rolling energy within him, but he knew that as soon as she moved away from the Yingluo and that necklace, chaos might envelop him again. He couldn’t let her escape.

Finitz’s cheeks flushed even more, but without hesitation—after all, he had just saved her, and she already owed him for having taken the Yingluo, and now he seemed to need it urgently, even showing interest in her Greenwood Divine Chain. Under the circumstances, the grateful Elf felt no inclination to go against his wishes.

Taking off both chains and handing them to him, Finitz felt a faint sense of loss. The Greenwood Divine Chain was a Sacred Object of the Forest Elves, and she had no right to give it away; if he hadn’t shown up, she and the necklace might have ended up prey to those malevolent Dark Elves. She realized she couldn’t refuse him.

Two ornaments were pressed against Komer’s chest, and the rampant surging aura immediately calmed down. Komer was aware that the yingluo alone couldn’t possibly have such an effect; it seemed that the necklace sought by those dark elves was no ordinary item. Most remarkably, these two pieces of jewelry managed to harmoniously and perfectly fuse, bringing the yingluo’s heart-soothing and mind-calming power to its utmost, instantly suppressing the magic power that had been on the verge of slipping from his control.

With the holy power of both artifacts aiding him, Komer did not dare to hesitate and immediately invoked all his spiritual power to steer the still somewhat rebellious magic flow along the pathways within his body, guiding the power back to its course.

Seeing that Komer did not put the two ornaments into his bag but instead placed them onto his chest, Finitz felt an inexplicable sense of joy surge in her heart. It seemed that the other party was using the power of the yingluo and the Greenwood Divine Chain to regulate his breath, not attempting to seize her Greenwood Divine Chain like the dark elves. The feeling of loss from earlier, which was even more distressing than the loss of the Greenwood Divine Chain itself, was something that Finitz did not even realize.

The turbulent aura finally settled down under Komer’s dual efforts, and he could clearly sense that his spiritual power had grown significantly after such an ordeal. Every trial improved his spiritual control, like advancing step by step up a staircase. As long as you successfully overcome it, you can see a new realm; but if you fail to cross it, you’re doomed to linger at the foot, or even fall upon the steps.

When Komer opened his eyes and saw the worried and anxious large eyes of the elf before him, the anger that had filled his heart somehow seemed to diminish a lot. Those watery black eyes were like a clear, bottomless pool, the faint scent of wood still lingering at the tip of his nose.

Rising to his feet, Komer feigned indifference at the other’s expression of surprise and joy, but he knew he was touched by the sincere happiness on her face. He weighed the necklace, which seemed to be made of wooden carvings linked together into a series of oval shapes, in his hand for a moment, then brought it close to his nose for a sniff. A peculiar honey fragrance immediately filled his nostrils.

Komer’s somewhat frivolous act caused Finitz’s face to redden instantly.

Having worn the necklace for so long, the Elf Clan, being the children of the Goddess of Nature, were gifted with an exceptionally sensitive spiritual sense and a unique constitution closely tied to all things beautiful in nature, resulting in their bodies often emitting special aromas.

For instance, Forest Elves have a special scent of wood on their bodies, while Mountain Elves carry a fresh grass scent.

Having soaked in her own body’s fragrance for so long, the necklace naturally carried much of her own scent, especially between her breasts. His act of sniffing was akin to being frivolous right at her chest.

"Is this a sacred object of your Forest Elves?" Komer tried to appear more stern in front of the elf girl, but he found it difficult to do so in front of her delicate and pitiable demeanor.

"Yes, it’s our Forest Elves’ sacred object—the Greenwood Divine Chain," said Finitz, nodding with her cherry lips pursed, not sure what else to say.

"If you like this yingluo, I could perhaps find a way to have another made for you, but I need this one, so I must take it back. As for your Greenwood Divine Chain, you better keep it safe. I don’t think those people will let you off easily."

Komer wasn’t sure why it was so hard for him to speak harshly in front of the elf girl who had nearly caused him to fall into magical madness. Even reclaiming what was originally his seemed not so justifiable, and he found himself unconsciously unable to refuse under her hopeful gaze, pledging to make one for her. Only after the words were spoken did Komer realize that the elf girl before him had some inexplicable attraction, a different kind of pull than other women, devoid of any carnal desire, just an indescribable feeling of pity.
