"Power, I need more power."
Such a thought flashed through her mind, and then, like this idea sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, eventually taking over all of Velseria's thoughts.
Another place.
Having entrusted everything to Alice, Roya believed the matter was over and began his daily training, while also awaiting the arrival of the Elf Sword Dance Festival.
Aside from training a few girls in the training team, nothing particularly special usually happens.
Life is like that; it may be calm and still, but it is full of little surprises in its ordinariness.
The truth about Versailles soon came to light: Versailles did indeed have a cursed mark implanted in her heart.
The organization associated with her was also uncovered by Grevas. According to intelligence reports, Velseria even wanted to transplant another cursed imprint. It was during Velseria's transaction meeting that Grevas caught her red-handed, thus preventing the tragedy from happening.
Normally, spirit users would try to avoid transplanting cursed armor imprints onto vital organs. However, Velseria went a step further and transplanted it directly into her heart. Even if an ordinary spirit user could gain tremendous power in a short period of time, the cursed armor imprint would cause damage to their entire body, further deterioration of their physical form, and eventual death.
Of course, people's physical constitutions cannot be compared. Although Velseria does not have a constitution as outrageous as Roya's, as a person of exceptional talent in this world, even after the cursed armor imprint was transplanted into her heart, she did not experience any sudden death.
In fact, if it weren't for Velseria's reckless decision to transplant the cursed armor imprint into her heart, she could have directly endured the side effects of the cursed armor imprint and enjoyed its benefits.
But the current situation is that Velseria's pursuit of power is too blind. Not only has she transplanted the cursed armor imprint into her heart, but she even wants to get a second cursed armor imprint.
This is almost a life-or-death situation, and even if the transplant is successful, Visselia's lifespan will be significantly shortened in the future.
Fortunately, Grevas intervened in time to stop it all.
Logically, Grevas, as the headmistress, shouldn't be managing these trivial matters, but Alice is almost always in the academy office whenever she has free time, and Velcelia does indeed have a certain influence in the academy, so Grevas decided to take special care of her.
Who would have thought that the person woke up in the morning, but the incident occurred in the evening.
After this incident, it was naturally impossible for Velseria to attend the Elf Sword Dance Festival on behalf of the academy again.
The matter of engraving spells can be considered a big deal or a small deal.
Out of consideration for their past as students at the academy, Grevas suppressed the matter.
However, as a necessary price to pay, Grevas sent Velseria back to Alice's family, hoping that the main family could properly discipline the girl.
Thus, the incident involving Versailles can be considered over.
Apart from this incident, nothing else happened. Roya's team was invincible and quickly rose to the top of the leaderboard.
Participation in the so-called Elf Sword Dance Festival is now a certainty.
Thanks to Luo Ya's training, everyone's strength is steadily improving.
However, with the arrival of the Elf Sword Dancers, there was always a restless atmosphere in the academy, an atmosphere that constantly stirred the nerves of the Elf Masters.
There were a few minor disturbances in between.
To avoid trouble, Luo Ya revealed a portion of his strength, quickly nipping any potential problems in the bud, and simultaneously sent a message to the person behind the scenes.
There are more than just Grevas in the academy.
Roya's move was undoubtedly wise, as it saved him a lot of trouble.
The time has come to get ready and set off.
The members of Roya's team gathered in front of the meeting point, the Stone Circle.
The so-called "Stone Ring" is the name of that teleportation array, which is the "gate" from the Aresia Elf Academy to the Elemental Elf Realm.
The contestants will be transported from here to the Elemental Spirit Realm and board a ship prepared by the organizer of the Spirit Sword Dance Festival, the Divine Ritual Academy.
The other two teams selected by the academy were already ready to go in front of the gate.
The first place naturally went to the team assembled by Luo Ya. Luo Ya had completely defeated the entire academy with his fists.
The second place went to a team called "Pterosaur Team," which was composed entirely of upperclassmen.
Logically speaking, as competitors, they would all dislike each other to some extent.
But after being completely crushed in a head-on confrontation, the entire Pterosaur team fell into complete silence.
The entire team was completely overwhelmed, and they were subjected to a fierce attack from the very first encounter, ultimately ending in a crushing defeat.
He remained silent, but his expression was anything but kind.
The reason is simple: Claire had been bullied by these upperclassmen before. Although they weren't enemies, they naturally wouldn't be friendly when they met. Because of this incident, Claire went a little too far when she faced them.
The girl is completely different from her former self. When the Winged Dragons faced Claire, they thought she was the same crybaby they knew before. However, they suffered a setback as soon as they met her, and their army collapsed afterward.
Of course, not all teams are as bitter and resentful as Team Pterosaur.
A blonde girl with a wooden wand from the third group approached Roya and struck up a conversation.
"Hey, wild girl, long time no see."
Upon hearing Luo Ya's words, the cute, petite girl puffed out her cheeks in anger.
"Ugh—I'm not some wild girl!"
Her team is ranked third and she is a member of the team "Kairnos" that they had previously faced.
The girl belongs to the Kashi no Sage clan, who live in the Elf Forest, and can command powerful "Beast Spirits".
The girl's race is Druid, and she has a high affinity for beasts and elves. Just like in the game, the girl can summon and control beasts to attack enemies.
"Hmph, all three teams are finally here."
Freya Grando, the teacher in charge of the "Gate," walked over calmly.
He glanced at the clock and then activated the formation.
It was the same familiar feeling. When everyone opened their eyes again, the familiar terrain came into view.
However, unlike before, a colossal creature was now parked in front of them.
This is the vehicle that came to transport them to their destination.
Chapter 228 Arrival
Needless to say, the vehicle must be a behemoth, and an extremely fast one at that.
But it wasn't until they saw each other that they realized what it meant.
This is a huge vehicle, full of technological features. If you had to describe it, you could only call it a spaceship.
And in fact, that is how it was named.
The principle of takeoff is unknown. Stepping into the cabin, the door closes, and the spaceship unfolds wing-like supports from the side. The power source at the rear ignites, and the burning exhaust flames slowly propel this huge vessel forward.
The spaceship floated on the ether-filled clouds, gliding forward.
The destination is one of the sacred realms in the Elemental Spirit Realm—the Sky Island
This is the venue for this year's Elf Sword Dance Festival.
Originally, this place was a sacred area that only priestesses of the "Divine Ritual Court" who served the Elf King were allowed to enter and exit, but during the "Elf Sword Dance Festival," it was specially opened to the general public as well.
Standing high in the clouds, looking down at the ground from the window, is a very novel feeling.
Even Luo Ya found it novel, and the girls around him naturally felt the same way. The girls huddled together, chattering and discussing the view outside the window.
Separated by just a window, it's like two different worlds.
"I have to say, this airship is amazing!" Claire exclaimed excitedly.
A slight blush appeared on Linslet's face. Although she was a rich young lady, it seemed that this was the first time the girl had ridden in this enormous spaceship.
"This is the latest type of airship. If the voyage goes smoothly, we should arrive in Rome around noon."
As time passed, the initial excitement wore off, and everyone fell silent.
Just as Lindsay had predicted, they arrived at their destination in just one morning.
The floating island is the sacred domain of the Wind Spirit King.
Through the thick clouds covering the sky, one can glimpse a massive floating island surrounded by rugged mountains.
Upon seeing the island, Claire and Lindsay were the first to excitedly shout.
"I see it, it's really big."
“Is this the floating island?”
Of course, some remained silent, such as Len Ashbell and Restia.
The girl in the elegant black dress appeared beside Roya at some point. She simply sat there, gazing at the distant island, lost in a long memory.
Roya glanced at Restia's impossibly exquisite face and casually asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Restia composed herself, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "I'm thinking about how you're going to handle what's about to happen."
After a moment's thought, Roya did not answer Restia from that perspective, but simply shrugged and said, "Who knows?"
The two were just chatting casually, but Luo Ya had considered the specific details.
True darkness, also known as alternate darkness, could not corrupt Roya's mind. This was the real reason why Roya dared to face those crazed Elf Kings.
All he needed to do was take down those crazed Elf Kings one by one.
As for whether the death of the Elf King will directly cause the collapse of the elements in this world.
