Chapter 524: 493 ’Still not okay?

"Carol...!?"

Seeing Carol raise her magic wand toward Shane, Merica couldn’t help but panic.

On the contrary, Luoqi, Ai Yi, Lilith, and Lasha’s expressions darkened involuntarily, making the air around them suddenly feel unbearably heavy.

In the heavy air, a deadly pressure also permeated.

"————!"

Feeling that terrifying pressure, the expressions of the elf girls in the Elf Corps changed instantly, and the playful atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Carol’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker.

Because this scene told Carol that the human youth she had blocked seemed to be the central figure among these people.

Otherwise, tripping him up wouldn’t have caused everyone’s expression to darken and an astonishing pressure to emanate from them.

Especially that little girl who seemed clueless and ignorant, who had been curiously watching everything from the beginning, now lacked any trace of her previous innocence and cuteness, instead exuding a sort of suffocating evil energy.

It was as if someone precious to her had been bullied, and she was now poised to wreak havoc.

Even the short-tempered Black Dragon wasn’t roaring but was staring with a pair of dragon eyes, watching coldly, bringing a pressure even more terrifying than its roaring and screaming.

Thus, this side of the world was enveloped by an incredible pressure, making everyone in the Elf Corps realize they seemed to have stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Merica wanted to say something hastily, but Shane stopped her.

Finally, Shane stood out and faced Carol.

"Why can’t I go in?"

Shane asked innocently, as if unaware of anything.

Carol looked at Shane coldly.

Actually, the reason she had stopped Shane was very simple.

"There’s something odd about you," Carol said bluntly. "Despite being a man of an alien race, for some reason, your magic power and aura are closer to nature than ours. If you stay here, I do not know what impact it will have on our Elf Clan."

As she spoke, Carol also gestured around.

"Look, the children are quite agitated."

Carol was referring to the fairies that You Lin had scared away.

Those fairies peeked out from behind the light trees, watching Shane with a stirring unrest.

"The children seem to like your magic power, and even we elves with spiritual wisdom feel you are special and approachable," Carol said straightforwardly without any concealment or pleasantries.

"Someone like you, once intending to do something in the Elf Country, will surely impact the Elf Clan significantly."

"And I wish to avoid such impact because I’m not sure if it’s a good thing."

"So, I will not let you in."

Carol’s expression was serious, her tone solemn, revealing her directness, decisiveness, and sense of responsibility.

This left Shane somewhat stunned and somewhat at a loss for words.

"That’s it?" Shane rolled his eyes and said, "Just because I give you a good feeling, you want to kick me out?"

"Yes," Carol answered without a hint of hesitation, exceptionally firm.

At that moment, Shane really wanted those protagonists who could easily attract beautiful and cute little elves with an aura or a gentle temperament based on some natural affinity to come here and see what reality looked like.

Did they think that showing a mighty aura would make those cold yet pure little beauties fall to their knees and beg for favor?

Was that not delusional?

The fact was, although you were a person they needed to be wary of, emitting an aura full of approachability and magic power would only draw more attention, making them suspect you’re up to something, wondering if they had fallen into someone else’s plot.

Initially, it was Merica, and now, Carol was the same.

And compared to Merica, Carol was also the Deputy Commander of the Elf Corps, whose duty was to protect the Elf Clan and the home where they resided.

A person like her, even with no malice toward Shane personally, would loyal to her duty, impartial to protect her race and homeland from any potential threats.

"But, Sister Carol...!"

Understanding this, Merica desperately wanted to tell Carol that Shane would never harm the Elf Country.

But Carol was more decisive than anyone had imagined.

"I know what you want to say, Merica, since he has been invited by you, it shows he’s recognized by you. Although our Elf Clan is xenophobic and doesn’t have a fond view of alien males, during this peaceful festival, anyone approved by our clan is still deemed worthy of our hospitality."

Carol said this but kept her gaze fixed on Shane.

"But besides that, just the natural-feeling magic power emanating from him is a natural temptation for those fairies that aren’t yet mature and lack sufficient will and awareness. I don’t want to see so many children who haven’t yet become our clansmen eventually being unable to resist this temptation, following him out of the Elf Country and getting harmed outside. Do you understand?"

With these words, Merica was left speechless.

Luoqi, Ai Yi, and Lasha also frowned.

There was no other way.

Carol spoke from her stance, although somewhat unreasonable and rigid, unable to adapt and overly conservative, but being in a foreign land, they felt that they might make the same choice.

Thus, the three of them turned their gaze toward Shane, seeming to let Shane decide for himself.

Only Lilith didn’t care about any of these issues.

Her thinking was simple: to kill all those who planned to bully Shane.

Regardless of others’ thoughts and stances, and whether they had their own difficulties, none of it mattered to her.

The only thing she cared about was one thing.

No one could bully Shane.

That was all.

When Lilith stretched out her small hand, the dreadful evil energy began to swell.

"...!"

Noticing this scene, everyone in the Elf Corps turned pale.

That power, both evil and chaotic, was undoubtedly the most despicable and terrifying thing for those close to nature.

Just now, Lilith had restrained herself, and they hadn’t sensed the threat, but now that Lilith’s authority had been triggered, if they couldn’t feel that lethal threat, they might as well not have lived all these years.

"Protect!"

Carol did not hesitate and loudly gave the order.

"Hum!"

Each Elf Mage immediately raised their magic wands, chanting spells, transforming magic power into a fierce wind.

In the next second, layers of thick barriers rippled into existence from the space around, protecting all the elves, light trees, and fairies.

Those magic barriers shone with an extremely dazzling light, looking like giant petals, with the magic power flowing within them intensely concentrated.

One could imagine that the defensive power of the defense magic jointly cast by the strongest mages in the world was extremely high.

However...

"Boom!"

When the terrifying evil energy swept out like a storm, striking the Light Barrier, it only flickered a few times before emitting a "crack" sound.

"What!?"

"Impossible!"

"This must be a joke!"

The mages of the Elf Corps widened their eyes.

Carol was also stunned.

"The Pure Flower Curtain, the strongest defense magic unique to the Elf Clan, which requires ninety-nine Elf Mages of at least Level 80 to cast, actually...!?"

Carol couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

What Carol didn’t know was that Shane and others were also surprised.

"It actually blocked it?"

Shane raised his eyebrows.

"Interesting."

Ai Yi seemed slightly intrigued.

"Is this the legendary ’Pure Flower Curtain’?"

Luoqi watched the light flower curtain resisting Lilith’s evil energy onslaught, her eyes twinkling.

On the other hand, seeing her attack blocked, Lilith, although startled at first, wrinkled her little nose and suddenly spread her hand, commanding the sweeping evil energy to become even more terrifying.

"Rumble..."

The storm of evil energy turned into a pitch-black torrent, continuously hammering the Light Flower Curtain.

"Crack crack crack..."

A series of tooth-gritting cracking sounds suddenly emerged from the Light Flower Curtain, as cracks finally appeared on the curtain.

"Deputy Commander...!"

"We can’t hold up much longer!"

"This is bad!"

"Ah!"

The mages of the Elf Corps cried out one after another, their faces showing expressions of strain and sweating profusely, as the magic power fluctuations from their bodies suddenly dimmed.

With this dimming, strands of evil energy, like black smoke, leaked through the cracks in the cracked flower curtain.

"Bang—!"

Finally, with a loud shattering sound, the Light Flower Curtain disappeared.

"Boom!"

The evil energy, having broken through the magic barrier, engulfed the pale, terrified faces of the delicate and lovely Elf Mages, threatening to devour them completely.

Just then...

"That’s enough, stop, Lilith."

Shane’s voice finally rang out.

"————"

Almost at the same moment, the violent surge of terrifying evil energy halted in mid-air, motionless.

Soon after, the evil energy slowly disappeared like snow melting in the sunlight.

The mages from the Elf Corps still had frightened expressions on their faces, subconsciously gazing forward.

There, Shane caressed Lilith’s head while boasting, causing Lilith to smile broadly, all the while looking at Carol.

"As you can see, if I wanted to do something in the Elf Country, I wouldn’t need to beat around the bush; a direct approach would prove that you can’t really stop me, right?"

Shane spoke with a half-smile.

"Does this allow you to let me in now?"

"Is it still not sufficient?"

"Shall I take matters into my own hands next?"
