Volume 2: The Rise of Black Technology Chapter 164: The Bizarre Chosen One

  Three figures chased each other through the dense forest, with arrow feathers made of light beams occasionally illuminating the darkness. The sound of footsteps from the giant rock man could be heard even in distant places, and this chase had been going on for a long time without either side achieving their goal.

  A mysterious figure, shrouded in a black robe, continuously struck down the rays of light that shot towards him with his long sword, but this also prevented him from fully utilizing his speed to shake off the two pursuers closely following behind. As the three chased each other through the dense forest for an increasingly longer period, the mysterious figure's displayed power only further confirmed to the two Divine Warriors that the person before them was absolutely not any ordinary human warrior.

  But if it's just a matter of saying that someone is a warrior of a certain god, it doesn't quite add up. After all, even if two warriors chosen by gods who don't get along meet each other, they would at most exchange sarcastic remarks or engage in a fight with their weapons drawn, but no one would go so far as to do something truly outrageous.

  The wars between gods in history, the tragedies and consequences they caused, even the existing gods today would not want to see them again. Arbitrarily provoking great disputes among mortal religions will only lead to punishment from all gods, even if they are agents of all gods, they will not be easily spared. Such silence is just a kind of escape, which is by no means a normal phenomenon.

  "The trees here are already dense enough, they should be able to block his advance. A warrior who wants to hide from the forest goddess in the woods is simply daydreaming!" The golden long hair fluttered in the wind due to the rapid run, and the slender pointed ears were blown by the wind, the elf jumping on the branches showed a contemptuous smile.

  The green gemstone on the bow and arrow in the fairy's hand glows with increasing power. Unlike the plain-colored light arrows, a dark green feathered arrow appears on the fully drawn bowstring. The fairy's sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, gaze over the fleeing black-robed mysterious person, aiming at the forest ahead.

  "Go!" The spirit, who had been storing up energy, released the bowstring with a tender finger. The dark green light arrow instantly disappeared from the bowstring and reappeared in the dense forest in front of the mysterious person. However, unlike the colorful light arrows that shattered trees and then disappeared, the dark green light arrow transformed into tiny green sparks that merged into the surrounding trees. The arrowhead, which was full of thick natural power, immediately stimulated the life of the originally ordinary trees.

  A massive amount of trees grew wildly in the U-shaped area, with vines and branches blocking all possible paths. No matter how hard the mysterious person tried to cut them down, the growing vines and branches would instantly fill up again. This forced him to turn around and face the two people who had caught up to him. Under the hood's shadow, a pair of pale blue eyes gazed quietly at the two divine warriors chasing after him.

  "You didn't even say goodbye and just ran away, it's really not right." The elf jumped down from the tree and looked at the mysterious person in front of him, saying: "Are you the chosen warrior of that god? Even if you were discovered eavesdropping on our conversation, you don't have to run so fast, do you? There weren't many chosen warriors who came here last time."

  "What a close call." The giant rock man said, looking at the dense barrier of branches and vines in front of him: "If he had escaped for another stretch, he would have entered the Lost Area. At that time, it would be impossible to catch him. Are you the newly arrived Divine Warrior? Why are you hiding from us?"

  Facing the questioning of the two, the mysterious man did not respond. He continued to gaze at the two fairly capable Divine Warriors, maintaining a vigilant stance with his sword in hand, without uttering a single word, as silent as a stone. The surrounding trees and vines that had been manipulated by the spirit's power still entwined each other, occasionally creaking out a faint rubbing sound of wood against wood.

  "Are you mute? I didn't know there was a god who would cultivate a mute as a divine warrior." The elf raised the metal longbow in her hand, and a beam of light appeared on the bowstring, aiming at the person in front of her: "Or perhaps you're not a divine warrior at all? The long sword in your hand is just something you picked up. It's not uncommon for a powerful monster to kill a divine warrior and leave behind one or two lost weapons."

  "If you don't want to answer, then I'll just have to subdue you and ask again." Andrew clenched his fists and slammed them together, producing a loud noise as he said, "If you don't want to suffer, then surrender quietly. In battle, I'm not sure if I'll accidentally break your limbs or something."

  The distance between the two divine warriors was not far, but it perfectly blocked the entire U-shaped exit. If the mysterious person wanted to escape this predicament, he would have to either defeat at least one of the two people here or use his agile figure to disrupt their defense for a moment and escape.

  "Don't think about escaping again." But just as the mysterious person was about to make a move, Andrew seemed to have seen through his intentions and stomped his foot, causing a massive wall of rock and earth to rise up from behind him, completely blocking off the U-shaped opening and eliminating any possibility of escape. The two original options for fleeing were now reduced to one, forcing the mysterious person to assume a fighting stance.

  Andrew charged towards the mysterious person with his massive rocky body, just like a football player rushing forward with the ball. His huge body trampled everything in its path, leaving behind deep and massive footprints. Whatever creature was hit by such a massive body at such speed would not have a good outcome.

  As the giant rock man charged, the elf with a longbow continuously shot out arrow feathers, three consecutive shots! Four consecutive shots! Three arrows fired simultaneously. A large number of light beam arrows sealed off all escape routes for the mysterious person, leaving him no choice but to face Andrew's charge. Although the two had been arguing nonstop since arriving at this Elan border, they had an unusually tacit understanding in battle.

  Facing the charging rock giant, the mysterious black-robed man didn't make any evasive movements, and it wasn't just because the light arrow had locked down his escape route. From the very beginning, he hadn't intended to dodge. The long sword that was originally in his hand was instantly sheathed back into the scabbard at his waist.

  The crouched body shifted the center of gravity of the entire body downward, and the stretched out hands were about to directly block Andrew's charge. Seeing the mysterious person's movement, Andrew accelerated by 30%. Since he was despised like this, then let power prove his foolishness!

  Boom! The gigantic rock giant and the towering human body collided, the explosive sound was as deafening as thunder, the instant burst of air waves made the surrounding tree branches shake violently, even the forest filled with a large number of plants raised dust, making Angelina, who was supporting from a distance, also close her eyes slightly.

  The dust slowly dispersed, revealing two main bodies colliding with each other. The scene Angelina saw made her secretly astonished, Andrew's body with huge kinetic energy was stopped by a pair of not particularly large palms, the mysterious person who should have been instantly knocked flying was thus, on the ground that had already become slightly concave due to the impact of the collision, and the giant Andrew were engaged in a fierce struggle.

  "What power! Hehe... Few can match me, a chosen warrior of the gods." Andrew looked at the short-haired woman whose hood had been blown away by the air wave, revealing her face and said: "You think you can hide your identity by covering up the divine mark on your forehead with a headband? Are the brains of barbarians really that useless?"

  The massive impact caused some damage to the mysterious person's long cloak, but at the same time it also revealed her appearance. Underneath the short purple bangs, where the divine mark should have been, was now covered by a steel forehead protector, making it impossible to know which deity she belonged to.

  But possessing such enormous power... and those calm, blue eyes like still water, immediately allowed Andrew to guess her identity. The Earth God's chosen warrior, was always known for their immense strength, as long as their feet didn't leave the ground they could obtain almost endless power.

  Few divine warriors would choose to wrestle with them, which greatly reduced the scope of their speculation. The woman's obviously tall body and those quiet eyes wouldn't be wrong... This woman is a divine warrior chosen by the God of War! And the people of Sault in Elan were originally under the jurisdiction of the God of War!

  "Is all this the work of the God of War?" Angelina also guessed the identity of the girl in front of her and frowned, saying: "You pretend to be innocent when questioned, but you actually erased the entire Eran from the sight of the gods. What kind of shameful things are you planning to do in Eran?"

  "No... we didn't plan on doing anything." The purple-haired Divine Warrior gritted her teeth and pushed with all her might, then instantly withdrew her strength and dodged to the side, looking at the charging Rock Giant as she said: "None of this was God's will, we don't know what happened either. I came out of Elan wanting to contact the War God."

  "That's not a clever lie!" Angelina exclaimed, not believing the explanation given by the purple-haired Divine Selection Warrior. "If that were true, you shouldn't have seen us and run away! And if you and the gods lost contact for so long, you should have sent someone out of Eran already! You wouldn't wait until now."

  The Elf tribe has an extraordinary intuition for lies, which may be related to their pointed ears. Elves can quickly distinguish whether the other party has malicious intentions or whether what they say is true, making it rare for mainland races to deceive them. This innate talent makes them the most accurate lie detectors on the continent.

  In human history, there have been cases where princes or kings who refused to acknowledge their own treason were sent to the central forest to be judged by elves after magic failed to confirm the truth of their words. The kingdom would often pay a price for this and then decide whether to convict based on the results, which was considered the most accurate and convincing method.
