Xu Yuan took the Elemental heart from the Dark Enchanter’s hands.
The twelve dark energy balls behind him glowed, and one of them absorbed the Elemental heart.
"Not bad!" Xu Yuan praised.
The praise made the Dark Enchanter euphoric with happiness.
However, the Dark Enchanter’s Lord, Lina, didn’t feel as joyful. This was because the other two Lords who had tricked her, Gadar and Su Wan, were still alright.
"Eve, these two..."
Lina pointed at the two of them. She could not let go of her loss so easily. Su Wan had snatched away all her resources, and Gadar had hit her on her head several times.
She wanted to settle her score with the two Lords.
When the Dark Enchanter heard this, she frowned. She thought that her Lord was a little too difficult to please.
The Dark Enchanter glanced at Xu Yuan.
Before he could say anything, Gadar ran and hid behind Xu Yuan. Gadar was terrified of the Dark Enchanter.
"Your Majesty, I did what I did according to your instructions. Please don’t abandon me..."
Gadar was very anxious. He had a powerful hero like the Fallen Angel. But his hero seemed nothing in front of the Dark Enchanter’s power. His only hope now was Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan would definitely be able to protect him.
Lina’s heart sank as she saw Gadar hide behind Xu Yuan. If what he said was true, then he was working for Xu Yuan. And the Dark Enchanter respected Xu Yuan.
’D*amn it!’ thought Lina. She was getting a headache.
It would be terrible if Gadar received protection from Xu Yuan.
Lina looked at Su Wan.
Su Wan was still annoyed by the Dark Enchanter. "Why are you looking at me?" she snapped at Lina. "Are you still sulking that I took away your resources?"
Gadar was hiding behind Xu Yuan. So, Lina thought that Su Wan was easy to deal with since she didn’t have anyone to protect her.
Su Wan snorted. "Are you trying to steal the resources back? My team stole your resources not only for me but also for Xu Yuan."
When she said this, she wasn’t staring at Lina. Su Wan looked directly at the Dark Enchanter. Her gaze was full of hostility. The Dark Enchanter sensed Su Wan’s anger.
A surprised voice interrupted the tense atmosphere. "What?!" said Lina. "That... thing is your hero?"
Su Wan turned to glance at Lina. She appeared cold and aloof. Her words were clear enough. She was in no mood to explain further. Her resources were also Xu Yuan’s resources.
If Lina was dissatisfied with the recent developments, she would have to take her resources back from Xu Yuan.
The task was undoubtedly impossible for Lina.
Xu Yuan nodded at Su Wan, acknowledging her.
Lina didn’t say anything further. From the way the White Dragon Saint and the Fallen Angel reacted, it was clear to see that Xu Yuan was someone powerful.
Even a strong Light-Type hero like the Radiant Envoy had temporarily submitted to Xu Yuan and followed his orders. An existence powerful enough to make a Light-Type hero submit to him, how powerful was Xu Yuan exactly?
Lina’s hero, the Dark Enchanter, was one of the most powerful Dark-Type heroes, and yet, she was fawning over Xu Yuan at the moment.
While Lina was still in shock, the Dark Enchanter walked to her with a troubled expression.
"Lina, this is not easy," she said. "Maybe we can consider the stolen resource as a contribution to His Majesty?"
Lina felt even more frustrated. Her most trusted hero was giving up!
Lina had no choice but to give up too. After talking to Gadar, she realized that there was no second or third place in this competition. The rest would be eliminated except the one person who would hold all the gems.
Lina handed over her gem.
The gems of all other contestants would be snatched away by Su Wan sooner or later, anyway. There were still six Lords left.
Lina didn’t want to cooperate with Su Wan. Su Wan had colluded with Evelyn and tricked her. She had stolen all of Lina’s resources! Gadar, on the other hand, had hit her on the back of her head mercilessly. She hated them from the bottom of her heart.
Her hero had also given up. Lina had no choice but to forget about what had happened, at least for now.
They gathered to discuss the next course of action. Now, they had gathered together to discuss a plan to get rid of the remaining six Lords.
While Su Wan discussed the plan to trap the six Lords, some Lords had received a message from the Radiant Envoy before he died.
"It says a powerful enemy has appeared...," said one of the Lords.
The heroes of the three Lords were all of Light-Type. When they received the message, they joined forces.
"The specific situation is still unknown, but if the Radiant Envoy couldn’t even send a complete message, the enemy indeed must be too powerful."
The three Lords had gathered to discuss and decode the information from the message sent by Radiant Envoy before his death.
