Chapter 1223 - 1223 735 The Surprised Elusa_2

Chapter 1223: Chapter 735: The Surprised Elusa_2 Chapter 1223: Chapter 735: The Surprised Elusa_2 “It’s basically the same as what I know.”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Elusa, as a Dark Elf, why did you hide your identity and come to the Coldflame Kingdom?”

“My Lord, to be honest, I just didn’t want to be bound by the predetermined fate that was arranged for me, so I escaped from my hometown alone.”

Elusa sighed gently, and then her eyes were full of determination, “As for what I want now, I just want to assist my Lord in his exploits in the South and the North, so that the people on this land can embrace warmth and usher in true hope!”

“Understood.”

Hearing that Elusa didn’t want to talk about her past, Leo Ray didn’t continue to inquire.

Just like what Elusa said, his main goal now is to put Ariel Watson on the Coldflame Throne, and he indeed has no time to care about other things.

Moreover, the Dark Elf race, which is well-known on the continent, is definitely not an opponent he can deal with at the moment.

After all, these long-lived races have much longer cultivation time than the Human Clan, and the number of high-ranking powerhouses in their race is obviously much stronger than that of the Human Clan.

This can be seen from Jasper Richardson’s encounter with the Moonwhite Tribe back then.

Of course, although longevity represents more cultivation time and more high-ranking powerhouses, the corresponding factor is the low reproduction ability.

It is precisely for this reason that the Human Clan, which has strong reproduction ability, has always maintained a delicate balance with these powerful foreign races, and large-scale wars rarely occur.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing.”

Leo Ray seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, “Elusa, why is it that your illusion disguise can’t be seen through by even a Tier 5 powerhouse?”

“My Lord, it is because I’m wearing this.”

Elusa smiled and took off a seemingly unremarkable black ring from her slender finger, and respectfully handed it to Leo Ray.

Leo Ray took the ring from Ariel’s hand and began to look it up and down.

This small and delicate ring appeared very ancient, with its entire body engraved with dense gray magic runes, looking deep and mysterious.

Feeling the faint energy fluctuations coming from it, Leo Ray casually opened the attribute column of the ring.

[Name: Dark Illusion Pupil]

[Grade: Tier 5 – Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Defensive Strength: None]

[Additional Effect One: Illusion Pupil Power “Enhances the illusion visual effect of the wearer, if it is used for illusion disguise on the wearer himself, the enhancement effect will be maximized, and can work on the Tier 5 Nine-Star and below powerhouses”]

[Additional Effect Two: Illusion Pupil Detection “When used by a holder with Dark Elf bloodline, it greatly enhances the wearer’s resistance to illusions”]

[Note: This is a special ring meticulously forged from the extremely rare Dark Gold Illusion Enhancement by a top magic craftsman and top illusion master of a certain Dark Elf race before the Era of Blankness. It has a long history.

Despite being well preserved by the Dark Elves in later generations, the ring still lost some of its functions due to the lack of maintenance materials and is now in an incomplete state.]

“So it’s a ring unique to the Dark Elf race? It should have been brought out by Elusa from her clan, right? I thought it was something Elusa had accidentally discovered while exploring ruins.”

“Speaking of which, the reason Elusa’s illusion disguise can deceive the eyes of Tier 5 powerhouses is because of the first added effect, right?”

Looking at the text in the attribute column, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

“My Lord, this ring was secretly taken by this subordinate when I left my family. Unfortunately, due to its age, the ring can no longer exert its true power.”

Elusa’s brows drooped, and she sighed softly.

“Another piece of Era of Blankness artifact that has lost some of its effects? It seems it’s time for me to take action again.”

Thinking about this in his heart, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “No matter, this kind of thing is what I’m best at.”

As he finished speaking, Leo Ray’s fingers gently stroked, and a strong wave of energy erupted from the ring.On the black ring’s body, the engraved gray magic runes suddenly burst into golden brilliance, making the originally inconspicuous ring instantly dazzling.

At the same time, a familiar prompt sounded in Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, your “Tier 5 Ornament: Dark Illusion Pupil” has been upgraded to “Tier 6 Ornament: Dark Gold Illusion Pupil”!]

“Did I really manage to restore it to its peak state?”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and reopened the ring’s attribute column.

[Name: Dark Gold Illusion Pupil]

[Grade: Tier 6 – Legend (Gold)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional Effect One: True Illusion Pupil Power: ‘Greatly enhances the illusion effects cast by the wearer; the enhancement effect will be maximized when used for the wearer’s own illusion transformation, effective against Tier 6 One-Star powerhouses and below’]

[Additional Effect Two: True Illusion Pupil Insight: ‘Massively enhances the wearer’s resistance to illusions when worn by a holder with a Dark Elf bloodline’]

[Additional Effect Three: True Illusion Pupil Concealment: ‘When a holder with a Dark Elf bloodline casts an Illusion Realm, it completely conceals the user’s aura and energy fluctuations, effective against Tier 6 One-Star powerhouses and below’]

[Note: A gift from the ancient Dark Elf Illusion Master, the complete form of the “Dark Illusion Pupil” significantly enhances the wearer’s illusion ability.]

“Perfect indeed – not only have the first two special effects been enhanced, but a new concealment effect has also been added!”

“I remember Olivia once mentioned that the thing Illusionists worry about the most when casting Illusion Realms is having their true location discovered by their opponents.”

“With this special effect, even if there are powerful opponents in the enemy camp, Elusa can still successfully trap the others without being discovered by those formidable opponents!”

Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray smiled and handed the ring back to Elusa.

“It has really returned to its peak state?! Thank you so much, Lord!”

As Elusa gently touched the familiar yet unfamiliar ring in her hand, her cherry-red lips slightly parted in disbelief when she felt the illusion power continuously pouring into her body.

She had noticed that the ring had changed while Leo Ray was upgrading it earlier, perhaps receiving some sort of blessing from him.

But she never expected that he would truly restore the ring to its peak state from three thousand years ago!

Little did she know that this was something that generations of her family had tried their best to achieve over the course of three thousand years but had never succeeded.

“Lord is truly a man filled with miracles.”

In the midst of her astonishment and joy, Elusa couldn’t help but sigh in her heart and cast an even more respectful gaze at Leo Ray.

“It was just a small matter.”

Seeing Elusa’s overjoyed expression, Leo Ray laughed lightly and said, “Alright, let’s talk about other things later. The most pressing matter right now is to defend this gateway of Galaxy City in the eastern Coldflame.”

“Understood, My Lord!”

All the subordinates saluted and responded in unison.

After that, things went very smoothly.

Although the Traditional Nobles’ reinforcements quickly arrived near Galaxy City, they didn’t attack the city. Instead, they engaged in a small-scale encounter with the New Aristocracy reinforcements lurking in the shadows.

It seemed that they had received the message, “There are traps inside Galaxy City, and even if the gates are wide open, those New Aristocracy guys wouldn’t dare enter,” so they decided to test the strength of the New Aristocracy reinforcements instead.

In the end, neither side gained much advantage, and both retreated.

Not until dusk did Asher Porter’s Viennas City Legion and Hod’s Golin City Legion finally arrive in a flurry of dust. It was only then that Leo Ray’s hanging heart settled back down.

“Alright, it’s time to properly assess the latest battle situation.”

From the throne of the Galaxy City Lord’s Mansion, Leo Ray gave a faint smile and said.
