Chapter 524: 523: Wrathful Demonic Energy

"That looks like bad news, doesn't it? How do we stop that, young prince?" Supreme Elder Haldir asked while gazing at the rising earth in the distant horizon. 

Leon creased his brows. 

Without a doubt, a firestorm was quickly coming their way. Hot winds will blow, and fiery rocks will rain from the skies like a meteor shower. 

Even if they can hide underground, they cannot move everyone below within the limited time given to them.

This was not something Leon could solve with his current capabilities. Even so, it did not stop him from pondering for a solution. 

"For now, we should quickly transfer all the tribesmen to the other side of the Great Wall," Leon stated.

They should do what they can. Perhaps, their lives can only be left up to fate after giving their all to survive. 

"Right." Supreme Elder Haldir nodded before he said, "We are already doing the best we can. However, it is still too slow." 

Leon glanced at the long queue of tribesmen waiting for their turn to use the lifts at the foot of the Great Wall before he nodded, "That's for sure—"

Rumble…

Suddenly, a huge rumble was heard from the distant horizon. 

When Leon turned to look, he saw that the rising columns of earth were blown away in another direction before it was further repelled by some colossal forces.

Leon felt his hand shivering while everyone hiding under vine covers on the Great Wall gazed at the scenic view in awe.

There would also be a day when he will have the strength to command the winds and rains and reshape the earth on such magnitude. 

"That must be the power of Acknowledged Paragons. Their strengths are every bit insane as one would imagine them to be," Supreme Elder Haldir sighed with emotion.

"Acknowledged Paragons, huh?" Leon muttered before adding, "Even so, for them to be able to avert a disaster just like that, they have to be Paragons even amongst Paragons…"

To avert the disaster as Leon had witnessed, he would assume the Paragons had strengths of up to 100-million jin strength.

It was hard for him to imagine that early-Rank 3 Transcendents could wield this much strength when Rank 2 Transcendents peak at roughly 10-million jin worth of strength.

"Right… You have a point, young prince. Perhaps, it was the Demigods themselves that made a move," Supreme Elder Haldir guessed.

Demigods… 

Leon smiled wryly at this term. 

Only existences that have transcended and stepped half a foot into the realm beyond Transcendent Realm could call themselves Demigods. 

Alas, this was a joke. 

The journey to godhood was much, much further, more treacherous, and more difficult to reach than the Wildlands believe it to be.

At least, Leon was aware that the Celestial Realm exists between Transcendence and Godhood. Nevertheless, he did not comment on this topic. 

"Now that the immediate danger has been averted, we should focus on the other problems in front of us," Leon stated. 

"Right." Supreme Elder Haldir nodded before asking, "Does the young prince have any solution?"

"Leave the tribesmen here to me and go deal with the rats while they are still immobilized. I have a feeling they will become an even bigger threat after they complete their mutation." Leon said objectively.

Supreme Elder Haldir nodded solemnly before departing immediately without questioning Leon's means. 

If he had a quick solution, then he surely had a quick solution. 

Naturally, Leon's method was quite simple. After the Supreme Elder left, he made a whistle and called over the Elder Tree in the distance.

As the Elder Tree answered Leon's call and made its way over, its huge towering crown immediately cast an enormous shadow over the Great Wall, sheltering everyone from the strong sunlight.

The 300ft Great Wall could not be compared to the over 2000ft Elder Tree. 

"Everyone, take cover behind the Elder Tree!" Leon barked shortly. 

The giant Elder Tree not only provided shelter from everyone, but it also blocked the incoming fiery rock and soil that slipped past the Paragons.

After all, the Paragons' priority was to protect their own tribe and not some human settlement located thousands of miles away.

Meanwhile, shortly after hearing Leon's order, the elves that were spread out along the foot of the Great Wall immediately gathered towards the center of the Elder Tree's shadow, albeit with difficulty as they trekked through the muddy ground.

Even so, everyone made it under Faelyn's encouragement.

Swoosh~!

The hot winds quickly blew past, and few fiery rocks struck the Elder Tree. 

Nevertheless, the Elder Tree was able to endure the blows without sustaining substantial damage. The elves that took shelter under it were completely protected.

Shortly after the situation calmed down, Leon communicated with the Guardian Spirit before the Elder Tree used its large roots to transport the tribesmen to the top of the Great Wall. 

"Arf, arf!" 

The three-tailed silver wolf's barking was heard before Leon shifted his gaze over and saw that it was still tied to the big vine carriage it was pulling.

After using wood manipulation with a wave of his hands, the vines shrank and reverted to seeds before flying into his grasp.

"Awrooo!" 

Silver howled with excitement, enjoying its freedom after being released from the vines that were no different from shackles.

"Go wild, Silver."

Leon pointed into the distance.

"Arf, arf!" 

The three-tailed silver wolf barked in response, understanding Leon's intention before it took off with a giant leap and dived straight into the paralyzed rat tide. 

Shortly after watching the three-tailed silver wolf crush the helpless mutating rats beneath its feet, Leon began looking left and right for other parts that required his attention. 

Suddenly, he paused of the figure of Princess Thessalia and several royal guards flying back to the Great Wall from the direction of the Wildlands, albeit weakly.

After reaching Leon's location, Princess Thessalia almost collapsed into Leon. However, she forced herself to remain strong before warning, "Be careful of the sunlight. There's something wrong with it."

"You were struck by the initial beam." Leon immediately noticed as his eyes flickered with surprise before furrowing his brows. 

Princess Thessalia and the several royal guards suffered from various burns from the initial wave of sunlight. 

"Yes…"

Princess Thessalia nodded.

They did their best to heal themselves with Wood Energy. However, the wounds regenerated slowly like something was obstructing their recovery.

Traces of Wrathful Demonic Energy were noticed in their wounds.

In fact, Leon could sense Wrathful Demonic Energy in every direction since the moment the sun's wave of solar flare arrived!
