BXBX NOVEL Chapter 619 Beacon Of Death (2)
At the very front, a tall, graceful elf with an oval face and glossy white skin arched her brows slightly as she replied, "It appeared our scout wasn\'t the only one who had spotted the \'unique beast\' an hour ago. No worries, it won\'t be so easy to get the prize.
"Since the prize of this event is so enticing, then the unique beast will also be difficult to deal with. If I\'m not wrong, whoever delivered the final blow will decide the final winner, just like the other beasts or contenders.
"So, we don\'t need to stay on the frontline. Let those idiot men do the heavy work for me." The Young Miss\' eyes went cold as she declared.
The other elven women also pull cold smiles.
However, at this moment,
"Ahhhhhh…"
"NOOOO…"
"Stopppp!..."
"What is happeni…ahhhhh…."
High pitch, blood-curdling screams started to reverberate in the vicinity. All of them were coming from the light pillar position.
The group of women abruptly stopped with a hint of astonishment in their eyes as they no longer moved ahead. More and more screams were ringing in the area as powerful Qi fluctuations filled the air.
"What is happening there?" A muscular elf woman mumbled with a hint of fear.
"Slaughter!" The young miss replied with a grave tone, "We had underestimated the unique beast. Let\'s hide our auras and approach the battlefield. Don\'t make any move unless I give the command."
The others nodded as they all slowly moved toward the light pillar.
However, they were only halfway there when the light pillar faded away…
---
Ace coldly looked at the cleaved corpses of elves surrounding him as the light faded away.
He then coolly looked at those remaining elves surrounding him with ugly expressions. They had all come like mad dogs toward Ace, but soon they realized that he wasn\'t a prey they could hunt with numbers.
Within a few seconds, almost fifty elves were dead, and the appalling thing was they didn\'t even know how they were killed.
It all happened in a flash as all those elves lunging at Ace suddenly cut into pieces like an invisible meat grinder around him.
The even more frustrating thing was they couldn\'t escape because one of the team leaders had activated a high grade-5 barrier talisman, so Ace can\'t escape, but it seemed they were the ones who were truly caged.
Now, only twenty-one elves remained, and all of them were using protective formations on themselves while keeping their distance as they looked at the hooded \'monster\' with appalled expressions.
"Just what kind of monster is this?! How can he survive all of our combined attacks?" One of the elves in white armor grimly exclaimed in elvish language.
"This is not the horrified thing; don\'t you see he hadn\'t even moved an inch from his spot? Damn, that Black Poll Leader had screwed us all by using this talisman, and now he\'s dead, and we\'re stuck with this monster. I should\'ve never joined hands with you morons!" A burly elf holding a spear cursed in a fury.
"The barrier will only last for five minutes. He only activated it because he was afraid that others might try to snatch the last hit, but we had made a terrible mistake in overestimating this abomination!
"Now, those who were still standing on the sidelines will profit from our losses. We can still make a comeback as long as we escape with our reaming men. Let them exhaust this thing!" A beautiful elf weakly stated.
They were all leaders of large hunting alliances, prominent figures of their families, and one of the few who were still present in the tower when the announcement was made.
They thought they could finish this event and claim the rewards before those powerful alums joined the fray. However, things were now looking grim for all of them, and they knew they had made a mistake by going after this guy without ample preparation.
At this moment, Ace couldn\'t help but chuckle, alarming the others before his icy voice sounded, "Do you idiots think I can\'t understand your lousy language, so you\'re making your plans right in front of me?"
The others were appalled when they heard the \'monster\' talking in their sacred language, which was actually only taught to first-rate families for some reason.
"You can speak elvish?" The burly elf was instantly alarmed with a pale expression.
The others were also horrified by this revelation.
Ace coolly said, "I can even speak what your ancestor can\'t so don\'t look alarmed. Now, I would like to know if you guys know what is going on with this light pillar."
The others looked at each other with a hint of terror as they started to get why this was called a \'Unique Life Form\' by the \'Holy Spirit.\'
However, no one replied as they tingly held their weapons and were ready to defend until the talisman effect was exhausted and they could flee this place.
But they didn\'t know Ace was almost done with his soul probe on the skinny elf leader, and that\'s why he hadn\'t finished them off and was only standing there.
Ace knew these elves were here with a purpose, and it was connected with the light pillar, so he didn\'t show them mercy and killed those who were utterly blinded by greed and charging at him like lunatics.
The reaming ones sober up on their own when they realize the strength difference.
However, Ace never took them seriously since he knew the tower spirit was behind all this and when he annexed all the memories, he sneered with killing intent in his eyes.
\'A unique life from, huh? What a freaking good idea.\' Ace wanted to laugh out loud in anger when he got the entire memory set of this so-called event which was to kill him or get killed by him.
\'I never thought it would take a drastic measure to make me kill others. Now, all the elves will do anything to kill me just to acquire this lifeline thing, and this is just the beginning. Those powerful elves outside the tower will surely join in.
\'They\'re all stuck on the fifth floor because of the fear of death, and now that they had a chance to advance, I don\'t think they will miss it….\' Ace grimaced as he thought about how those death elves were charging at him hysterically before he put them out of their misery.
He could sense their madness and bloodlust as if they were possessed by something and only snapped out of it when their life was threatened.
"I don\'t want to kill anyone, so I will spare your lives. In return, I want you to deliver my message to your leaders. Tell them that as long as they don\'t get in my way and the entrance, I will peacefully leave you guys alone or…." Ace suddenly released his murderous aura.
Those elves were stunned and shuddered when they felt the thick killing intent; they were in disbelief!
The next moment, Ace\'s figure suddenly vanished, and before they could come to their sense, a terrifying explosion reverberated behind them, and the barrier surrounding them shattered like glass.
Everyone felt their heart tremble since they knew only someone with a peak platinum realm cultivator could shatter the barrier.
Those who were lying in wait were also flabbergasted by the sudden turn of events. Some of them madly started to search for the escaped monster.
"What should we do?" The elf woman asked with an appalled face.
"What can we do? Let\'s go and join hands with the Golden Royal Alliance. They will happily accept us for our information and experience with the beast." A hint of madness flashed past the burly elf as he coldly uttered.
A crimson haze suddenly flashed past every elf\'s sober eyes before the other elves seemed to have lost their short live rationality.
They all pulled cold smiles and agreed to the burly elf\'s suggestion.

Ace easily escaped those elves\' encirclement, and this time he didn\'t go anywhere but headed straight toward the elven city.
Because he knew those elves would not be going to give up if this soul segment influenced their mind, and the more he waited here, the more of those strong elves joined the hunt.
Another hour passed before the light pillar got activated again. A large group of elves again attacked him, and they came at him like hungry wolves.
However, Ace didn\'t kill any of them this time, as he simply dodged all of their attacks while moving at full speed. Unfortunately, those elves can\'t keep up with his top speed.
Ace stood a mile away from the elven city and thought coldly, \'Since you wanted me to kill, I will kill everyone to put you at ease. This will be my most atrocious act!\'
