Chapter 554 - 554: Ancient Elf Bloodline, Marianne’s Proposal 1
The ocean is not only filled with devastating storms and tsunamis, but also nurtures countless creatures, offering gentle healing.
This gentle power of the ocean slowly entered Elisya’s body, flowing through her gradually. However, as she felt this incredibly familiar sensation, an expression of extreme fear appeared on Elisya’s face. Even though she had gone insane, deep within her soul, she still vividly remembered the power that had almost destroyed her.
Her frail body struggled frantically, and from her mouth came cries like those of a young animal.
Her remaining consciousness was like a small boat drifting in a raging sea, at any moment, it could be overturned by the waves. It was like a faint candlelight in a fierce storm, as if it could be extinguished in the next moment.
Ji Chen could sense her memories and fears through the power of the ocean.
It was an ordinary day, Elisya led her team on a patrol outside the valley. After it ended, she made an excuse to send her team members back while she embarked on a journey to the Fallen Sea.
As long as she could obtain that divine weapon, she would be able to slay all her enemies and protect her comrades and village.
This kind of determination always lingered in Elisya’s mind, but she had underestimated the power of the divine weapon. That power did not acknowledge her and rejected her. Elisya had a chance to leave at the beginning, but she chose to resist, and in the end, her spirit was destroyed by that vast power.
Ji Chen could clearly feel her fear before she lost consciousness, a fear that invaded her body and soul like poison.
Watching Elisya’s extremely painful appearance, Ji Chen hesitated for a moment.
Why did it feel like he was reopening old wounds rather than healing them?
Just as he hesitated, a surge of power suddenly erupted from deep within Elisya’s bloodline.
Noble, divine, ancient.
That was… the bloodline of the ancient elves!
Under the intense fluctuations of her spirit, her bloodline broke through the threshold of its limits, allowing Elisya’s power to undergo a breakthrough. She went from being a purple-rare-tier hero to a red-legacy-tier hero in an instant. Her aura became dozens of times stronger, like a mountain torrent bursting forth.
Even Herald could feel the overwhelming pressure of this ancient elf bloodline, a bloodline even more powerful than the deep sea Nagas.
However, this breakthrough seemed to consume all of Elisya’s energy. After a brief climax, she suddenly plummeted into a valley. Her life force rapidly declined.
In just a few breaths, Elisya had fallen into a state of shock. Ji Chen’s expression changed, and he quickly took out the bottle of Water of Life from his backpack.
Without much thought, he pinched Elisya’s mouth and poured in about three fingers’ worth of the potion.
The amber-colored essence of life entered her body and quickly turned into the purest energy, spreading throughout her entire body.
It was like a parched land receiving a torrential rain, or a dried-up river being replenished by a surging current.
Elisya’s body, which should have withered away many years ago but had managed to survive due to her bloodline power, now released astonishing vitality as if a dead tree had suddenly come back to life in spring.
The Water of Life not only has the ability to repair physical injuries but also possesses a significant capacity for mental healing. Moreover, Elisya herself is an elf, perfectly attuned to the effects of this Water of Life, resulting in a peak level of effectiveness.
In just a short span of a dozen minutes, her complexion became rosy and soft, her furrowed brows relaxed, her hair became as silky as a Dove chocolate bar, and her breathing grew more stable and powerful.
The scars and frostbite on her body were rapidly repaired and restored. Pieces of dead skin fell away, leaving behind new, tender skin akin to that of a newborn baby.
What the heck!?
Ji Chen stared at the remarkable transformation that had occurred in Elisya in just a few minutes and was so astonished that he could hardly react.
The effect of this Water of Life was unbelievably terrifying. It was indeed a valuable creation from the Life Tree of the elves.
Elin had mentioned that a single drop of diluted Water of Life, equivalent to just one finger, was enough to save an ordinary person on the brink of death. However, Ji Chen had just given Elisya a whole three fingers’ worth of undiluted Water of Life. The strength of its effect was beyond doubt.
Looking at the approximately one-fifth of the Water of Life that had been consumed, Ji Chen felt a bit sorry but carefully put it away.
Turning his gaze to the now calm and stable Elisya, he took out a fur coat from his backpack and wrapped her naked body in it.
“Let’s go up.”
With a flap of his wings, Herald carried Ji Chen and Elisya into the air, returning to the ice crevice.
Seeing their return, Marianne and the other elves immediately approached. They looked at Elisya, who was placed on the ground, with a mix of excitement and disbelief.
The Elisya who had been like a wild person was now wrapped in a thick fur coat, her complexion rosy, breathing peacefully, and her expression serene, like a princess from a kingdom.
Marianne’s voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and her words trembled as she asked, “Lord Ji Chen, have you healed Elisya?”
Ji Chen nodded. “Only her body has been repaired. She suffered severe mental trauma from resisting the power and pressure of the divine weapon. So, her mental state may not have fully recovered.”
Marianne sighed and shook her head. “That’s already more than enough. As long as Elisya doesn’t show hostility or attack us, we can live together with her and heal her over time. We can afford to wait..”
