Chapter 523: 492 "You can’t do it.

Luoqi’s explanation left Shane with a look of surprise on his face.

"An invincible Mage Corps?"

Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?

"Even the Guard Knight Order can’t match them?"

Shane expressed his doubts to Luoqi.

In response, Luoqi rolled her eyes.

"You have to know that although the Guard Knight Order is strong, it is only the strongest in the kingdom," said Luoqi. "The Mitra Kingdom is just one of the human nations, perhaps stronger than many others, but in terms of military strength alone, the Empire actually surpasses the Kingdom, and the Guard Knight Order might not be able to defeat the strongest Knight Order from the Empire."

"And that’s just the humans alone, not to mention the other races of the Human Race, each of which has its own elite legion."

"For example, the Beastman Race’s Priest Group, or the Dwarf Clan’s Iron Cavalry Group, are regiments that are no less than the Kingdom’s Guard Knight Order, and may even surpass it."

Upon hearing this from Luoqi, Shane understood.

"No wonder there are so many high-level Beastman Priests in that Beastman Priest Group, with Oz and Mafi being one Legendary and one nearly Legendary."

With such a group of powerhouses, the Beastman Priest Group certainly wouldn’t lose to the Kingdom’s Guard Knight Order.

The Guard Knight Order is just the pride of the Mitra Kingdom, not the pride of the Human Race.

If the Mitra Kingdom is just one of the many human nations, it’s not surprising at all that there would be elites among the rest of the Human Race that are no less than, or even surpass, the Guard Knight Order.

The Elf Clan is a prime example.

As a race innately attuned to magic and long-lived, the combination of lengthy years and exceptional talent has undoubtedly given rise to many powerful Mages.

These Elf Mages formed the strongest Mage Corps of the Elf Clan and even of the Human Race, consisting of nearly a hundred Great Mages of Level 80 and above, eventually becoming the Elf Clan’s greatest pride—the Elf Corps.

"The Elf Corps, like the Kingdom’s Guard Knight Order, is an elite unit directly under the Royal Family, only obeying the Royal Family’s commands."

Luoqi explained to Shane in a hushed voice.

"It’s said that the Elf Corps has two Division Commanders of equal status, who are directly serving the Elf Queen’s confidants, and are two of the only three Legendary warriors in the Elf Clan; both are above Level 95. Along with the Elf Queen, the strongest among the Elf Clan and a Great Legendary Mage, they once fought alongside Hero Mithra and companions and other races’ Legendary warriors a thousand years ago in the war against the Six Great Demons’ Beast Demon."

This means that the two Division Commanders and the Elf Queen they serve are living history for the Human Race.

They participated in the war a thousand years ago, fought alongside the Hero, and were members of the renowned Thirteen Heroes, respected as powerful beings of the Human Race.

Especially the Elf Queen, as the ruler and the strongest of the Elf Clan, a race innately attuned to magic, in terms of power as a Mage, no one in the Human Race can match her.

"My teacher once told me that about three years ago, he had challenged the Elf Clan’s Queen. Even after using his Unique Skill, he nearly couldn’t win and only managed to deplete her Magic Power, taking advantage of a loophole to claim victory, thus becoming the strongest in the Human Race."

Luoqi shared this secret with Shane.

"Nowadays, my teacher often tells me that if he were to fight her again, he might not win against the Elf Queen."

She could be an existence even stronger than Aridia.

Knowing this, Shane became somewhat interested in the Elf Corps.

After all, in his battle with Aridia, only his abilities as a warrior had been confirmed; his magical skills had yet to be confirmed.

Now, with the world’s strongest Mage Corps right in front of him, how could Shane not be interested?

But, while Shane might be interested in them, they might not be.

"Once again, who are you?"

The Elf Mage leading the group spoke up again.

"Are you enemies? Or intruders? Don’t tell me you’re travelers who have lost your way here; a regular traveler wouldn’t be able to break through the Elf Clan’s Barrier, and certainly not with a creature like that dragon."

The Elf Mage raised her Magic Wand, pointing it at You Lin.

"Roar!"

You Lin immediately let out an irritated roar, causing intense waves of Qi to blow in all directions, making the light trees around swing wildly.

"Be on guard!"

As You Lin began to lose her temper, all the members of the Elf Corps showed no fear. At the command of their leader, they all raised their Magic Wands, gathering Magic Power.

Shane had reason to believe that in the next second, they would release the prepared Magic, and it would be powerful Upper-level Magic, burying them all in a Fire Sea, burning everything to ash.

At that moment...

"Wait... wait a minute! Carol sister!"

From the crowd, Merica quickly pushed through, appearing in front of Elf Corps members.

Seeing Merica, the person identified as Carol was surprised.

"Merica? What are you doing here?"

Carol instinctively reined in her Magic Power.

Not just Carol, but also the surrounding members of the Elf Corps, all quickly ceased their gathering of Magic Power.

"That’s Merica?"

"Merica has returned?"

"These people, they couldn’t be guests invited by Merica?"

"This..."

The members of the Elf Corps murmured among themselves as if they all knew Merica; their fearless demeanor vanished instantly, and they began chattering with surprise and confusion like a group of ordinary young girls.

This change made everyone look at each other bewildered by the stark contrast.

Only Luoqi murmured thoughtfully.

"It seems the relationships within the Elf Clan are really good."

If that were not the case, this elite Mage Corps that reigned supreme in the Human Realm wouldn’t know the name of a regular Elf girl, nor would they appear so familiar with her.

Of course, there was also the reason that the population of the Elf Clan was so small to begin with, that members of the clan could naturally recognize and remember the name of every single elf.

The atmosphere at the scene slightly eased with Merica’s entrance.

Only now did Carol, the leader, seriously begin observing everyone besides You Lin.

There was no helping it; You Lin’s presence was too overpowering, her Dragon Power like a prison, immediately signaling that she was an extremely powerful Dragon Species.

Seeing the being referred to as the King of Demons, the attention of the Elf Corps naturally focused entirely on You Lin, most of their vigilance concentrated on her, thus diminishing their observation of the others.

At this moment, Carol, along with the rest of the Elf Corps, turned their gaze towards Shane and his group.

At first glance, Carol and the faces of the Elf Corps changed.

Because they realized that those individuals, whose presence had been overshadowed by You Lin’s, were each and every one of them far from ordinary.

"Quick... Look at that human girl...!"

"My God..."

"She’s so beautiful..."

"I’ve never seen a human with a beauty that could match the Elf Queen..."

"She’s too beautiful..."

The Elf Corps’s elf girls exclaimed.

The person they were referring to was naturally Luoqi.

Of course, some were also looking at Ai Yi and Lilith.

"So cute!"

"How can she be that cute...!?"

"I really want to hug them!"

"Yes, indeed!"

The eyes of those elf girls filled with hearts as they screamed, causing Lilith to tilt her head in confusion and Ai Yi to furrow her brows, as if she found the "cute" evaluation displeasing. If anyone who knew her saw this scene, they would surely be concerned that these elf girls might be vaporized by a Dragon Breath in the next second.

On the other hand, Lasha stayed quietly on the side as if she had completely erased her own presence, standing still without any reaction, watching everything with an exceptionally cold indifference.

As for Shane, there were also people watching him.

Or rather, the first person the Elf Corps looked at was Shane.

They stared intently at Shane without uttering a word or showing any reaction, as if perplexed by something, eventually, each of them chose to shift their gaze away from him.

Their expressions were as if they didn’t want to look at Shane any longer.

"..."

Shane was speechlessly choked with emotion.

Only Carol, the leader, with a solemn face, watched Shane and his group, gripping her Magic Wand tighter rather than looser.

Her reaction informed the others that Carol’s heart was anything but calm.

Because she had already realized that those accompanying Merica, except for the Maid, all possessed extremely powerful Magic Power.

At that moment...

"Merica, are these the guests you have invited to participate in the Peace Festival?" Carol asked seriously, as if confirming something.

"Yes... Yes, Sister Carol!" Merica quickly replied: "Everyone is my companion and means no harm to this place!"

Merica hastily clarified.

Otherwise, if a conflict were to arise, it would be the end.

Of course, what Merica worried about was not Shane and the others but these elf sisters present.

Each of them had once taken care of Merica, especially Carol, as one of only four Vice Division Commanders of the Elf Corps, who not only ranked in the top five of the Elf Clan’s strength but also taught Merica the basics of Magic, making Carol both a teacher and an elder sister figure to Merica.

Naturally, Merica was not the only one who had received Carol’s teachings.

Essentially, everyone within the Elf Clan was like one big family; Carol didn’t just teach Magic to Merica but also to many elf children, enabling them to begin learning Magic and take their first step toward becoming Elf Mages.

Considering this, Merica didn’t want to see Carol get hurt.

It wasn’t that she was overly concerned, but rather she was well aware that the people by her side were all significant figures not to be trifled with.

However, as the saying goes, whatever one worries about has a way of happening.

"Well, then."

Carol fell silent for a moment before saying so.

"Since they are guests you have invited, they are friends of the Elf Clan, and I will allow them to enter the Elf Country with you."

As soon as she said this, before Merica could feel relieved, Carol’s tone suddenly changed.

"But..."

Carol then raised her Magic Wand, pointing it in a certain direction.

"The others can enter, but you cannot."

The air instantly grew tense.

"Heh heh."

Shane laughed.

But this time, his smile wasn’t very bright.

The person to whom Carol raised her Magic Wand was none other.

It was himself.
