章 54: Gradual Completion of the Plot

After Uland escaped with the remaining elven troops, this encounter evolved into a pursuit.

Out of his greed for souls, Xeron certainly did not want to let any enemies escape. However, this place was in the elves' sphere of influence after all, and Uland was much more familiar with the terrain. After he led his troops into the forest, Xeron quickly lost their trail.

Druids were worshipers and defenders of nature. They protected nature, and nature would also protect them in turn. Thus, once Uland entered the forest, the entire forest was helping him cover his tracks. The lush foliage of tall trees shook their leaves off, and the entire sky of falling leaves blocked the view. Grass suddenly grew wildly and covered the trails of the elven troops. Brambles spread in the forest, blocking all the forest trails, hindering the demons from passing.

Under these circumstances, the elves escaped successfully, causing Xeron to roar angrily.
