Chapter 745: Perfect Escape

(Unedited)

…

A slight fluctuation of energy inside the dark and murky dungeon cell suddenly burst out like a gentle breeze of wind that was felt by all of the prisoners in it.

Many prisoners felt somewhat confused as the dungeon cell should not have any air inside of it. But the breeze they felt a while ago is so calming that it made everyone feel at ease.

However, in a corner of the dungeon, a high elven woman sat while hugging her knees. Beneath her messy hairs are a smiling face and clear blue eyes.

"I hope that this is enough to at least give you another chance in life. We've gone on the wrong path and were intoxicated with fame and power that we forgot the true essence of our nature. We are high elves, the most powerful and wisest of all the elven races. But due to the allure of strength and power, we became the most foolish creatures in the universe… Sigh… I hope that this would return the balance of everything from now on."

She muttered as her figure slowly faded into the darkness.

…

The thick forest deep within the borders between the territory of the humans and the high elves looks calm and the once chaotic war left traces in its wake.

Due to the council and the treaty that the humans and high elves along with the Zith'ra races have created, the war has finally stopped.

At this time, many prisoners on both sides are being returned as part of the agreement between the races. Out of the three, the Zith'ra race are the ones who had the most resentment as the deal between them and the high elves was not followed.

But of course, they dare not complain as this treaty was a witness and officiated by the two most powerful demi-god races, the dragons and the Gigantus.

In this tranquil place, a slight fluctuation suddenly occurs and something suddenly materializes from the air and fell towards the ground.

"Arrgghh… Damn that hurts!" Luna cried as she had fallen on the ground face down.

She immediately sat up and hugged her chest as she could feel the pain on them. Her body is a bit thin due to years of lack of proper nourishment and overwork. And her tattered clothes could barely cover her body which is exposed out in the open.

As she looks around, Luna found herself in the middle of nowhere and she did not know where to proceed from this point on.

"Damn it, all of my energy is gone. That one spell cost me a lot…" she grumbled as she slowly stood up.

However, feeling the breeze of air on her face made her realize something.

"I'm free now, right?" she muttered as a faint smile appears on her face.

"After thousands of years being inside that dungeon, I am free at last!" she said with a loud voice as she could not contain her happiness right at this moment.

She carefully feel everything around her, the aroma and scent of the trees and the slight dampness of the ground on her feet, she could feel life surging around her and it made her truly happy. She could not recall when the time that she felt this way was. It was truly a long time… a very… very long time.

While in the midst of her reminisce and delight, Luna did not notice a long creature slowly creeping towards her. The long creature has spotted her a while ago and has already decided to have her for lunch.

Luna suddenly noticed the strange smell in the air and immediately opens her eyes. As soon as she was able to see the creature, her face showed surprise but then scowled.

"You dare face this lord? Let me show you my powers then!" she said while pointing at the long black scaled snake.

The black snake seems to have been provoked as it suddenly lifted its head while its long tongue slithers in the air.

Hiss!!!

The black snake suddenly showed that it was provoked by Luna's words and attitude towards it. How dare a mere powerless human insult it in its territory? It decided to teach the small human a lesson.

Luna suddenly gathers energy in her hand…

"Taste this you foul beast!..." she shouted but then suddenly froze on the spot.

She suddenly remembers that she has already depleted her energy. And once she is killed in this place, she knew that she would once again go back inside that dark and damp dungeon cell. And this made her suddenly feel despair.

"Why am I so stupid!" she thought as her expression paled.

The snake seems to have sneered at its prey as it suddenly strikes while opening its large jaws to swallow the small human in one single bite.

"Oh, crap!" Luna cursed herself for being stupid and she just closed her eyes.

All of her plans seem to have been fine up to this point where she became stupid after feeling elated as she escaped the dungeon. Who could she blame at this point but herself…

Suddenly a flash of light and a slight sound of a weapon being drawn were heard in the air.

As Luna opened her eyes, she saw the headless black snake in front of her. And this situation made her feel dumbfounded.

"Are you okay? Are you one of the prisoners that escaped the elven kingdom?" a tall woman wearing gold armor suddenly asked her.

Her mind was blank as she saw the gentle smile on that beautiful tall woman. Then she was unable to say anything as her small petite body was wrapped by the woman using the woman's cloak.

"I have to take you to our scouting base in this forest. This place is dangerous as there are also some high elven scouts in here. Follow me, we should go now."

The woman said as she showed a gentle smile on her face. Luna was unable to understand the situation and she just let herself be carried by the woman.

The two soon arrive on a small hidden base camp, and a few humans wearing gold armor are busy with their own chores.

"Leader! Look what I have found in the forest…" the woman said as she set down Luna on the ground.

"Is she an escapee?" one of the gold armored men asked as he walks closer.

"I don't know she seems to be in a shock…" the woman replied.

The group then introduces themselves as the scouts and the ones monitoring this part of the human border. Luna discovers that the humans are wearing some weird thing on one of their ears.

While traveling back, she has already noticed the woman talking to herself, but she did not ask any questions as she knew that the woman is communicating with another using some artifact.

But now that she noticed it, she felt a bit curious and wanted to study the thing on their ears.

"I am Zit Maya, I am a member of the Osmond clan from Gipard town. What is your name?" the woman suddenly asked while the two are walking towards a corner of the cave.

"I… I am Luna… Luna Halil…" Luna answered with a timid voice.

"You can rest her sister… I still have some things to do…" Zit Maya said with a smile.

The next day, Luna traveled with a group of scouts towards the borders of the town of Gipard. She learned that it would take them a day using the so-called flying swords that each of the members of the scout team is stepping on.

Luna felt really curious but held herself back but she could not help herself but be amazed at the new crafting technology that the humans have attained.

The flying swords that even a gold armored protector could use are something revolutionary as she knew that only those powerful lords or high lords could control such an artifact and make it fly for a longer period of time.

But it seems that those flying swords could sustain flight for 1 day and is not that energy-draining on the user or the core. She truly wanted to see the array pattern on those flying swords so that she could discover its secret.

However, she needs to hold back. She didn't want to be imprisoned in an underground dungeon again. She still could not trust the humans. If they would be blinded by power just like the high elves, then it would be a great problem for her.

And so, being low-key is her aim so that she could slowly blend in with the human race, and find that person who is responsible for these changes.

As she held on to the person controlling the flying sword, Luna excitedly feels the breeze in the air and also greedily absorb the scenery in her mind.

Though the travel was delightful, Luna soon found that there is something wrong with her.

She discovered that her body could not absorb the universe's energy in the air. And only by eating something could she fill the spheres in her dantian.

But this method is also not effective as she could only absorb 20% of the food she ate. This situation made her feel a bit of a panic and she did not know the answer.

Although she did not show it outwards, inside her mind she is already panicking. How could she, who has already reached the lord level fall into such a state?

This situation is really dire and she needs to find a way to overcome it, if not, then her effort from before would have been a waste.
