Chapter 598 - 596: 100% Participation Rate, Scared Yet?

Previously, at the Elf Race and Ista border.

Watching the surging wave of pollution, Melina was full of confidence, with Benovia standing beside her.

She turned back to Benovia and said, "Benovia, just watch from the side. Keep your eyes open; even without Hilia, our Law Enforcement Knight Order is not to be underestimated."

Benovia echoed, "Yes, I’ve always believed the Law Enforcement Knight Order is the strongest."

The Law Enforcement Knight Order was a special forces team for dealing with heretics and foreign enemies, but over the years, they hadn’t achieved anything significant in purifying pollution, sticking to the old methods without improving the purification skill, tackling pollution with the original purification skill, purifying whatever little they could.

The basic purification skill wasn’t ineffective; it was still a purification skill after all, just slow in efficiency.

Furthermore, everyone had their own understanding of the purification skill, often related to elemental affinity, making it difficult to learn, hence no one considered modifying it.

After realizing Hilia could teach her understanding of the purification skill to others, Melina was astonished, as if a workshop had encountered an assembly line, making it impossible for her to go back.

In the past, a workshop could handle small-scale pollution, like the Elf Race throwing it into the sky for nature to purify when they couldn’t keep up.

But facing the scale of the Golden Apple Stone Forest and now the Elf Forest, such small-scale efforts were not enough.

Now, with the "assembly line," the "production" had increased, and Melina had long wanted to experience the thrill Hilia often felt.

Previously, although there were opportunities to eliminate heretic bases, they were all minor affairs, even a third-tier ordinary knight leading a team could obliterate them.

Since the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association’s headquarters was annihilated, all heretic activities within Ista seemed to have hit a pause button, disappearing altogether, leaving Melina to handle various paperwork in Huijin Divine Hall like other Archbishops, without a chance to go out for a breeze.

"Speaking of which, we have Hilia to thank for this chance to come here for a breeze," Melina sighed.

Benovia tilted her head in confusion, "?"

Melina smiled and said, "Look, Hilia went to the Blue Dragon Empire, the capital Dragon Island sank, and now, the Elf Race suddenly experienced a wave of pollution, and coincidentally, Hilia was in the Elf Forest..."

Benovia’s expression turned odd, she nodded slightly.

Melina added, "Although, looking at the situation in the Elf Forest, they have long suffered from pollution, occasionally having outbreaks. Their method of governance was bound to result in this intense outbreak, Hilia just happened to be there..."

Saying this, Melina chuckled dumbfoundedly.

Whether Hilia heard about the unusual pollution in Elf Forest and went there specifically, or the outbreak happened after Hilia went there.

It no longer matters.

What matters is, Hilia joined the team 100%.

Benovia reminded, "Ms Meilina, the pollution is coming."

Melina charged forward.

"Good timing!"

All members of the Law Enforcement Knight Order were already prepared.

Though only a few could use the special purification skill that restrained pollution, others weren’t just standing by; they would form a human magic array to provide the mages casting the purification skill with a continuous supply of magic power.

This magic power, transmitted through the array, didn’t need to enter the recipient’s body, as it could enhance the spell by incorporating external magic power.

In other words, the Law Enforcement Knight Order formed a temporary alliance capable of increasing the rate of external magic power usage, enhancing the proportion of external magic power from less than 20% to over 50%.

Under the illuminating light, the wave of pollution was even restrained from charging forth.

But Melina was not happy.

On the contrary, her expression was serious.

"What Hilia said was indeed correct; this pollution is unique, directly using peculiar life elements as a protective shield against the purification skill."

The pollution was restrained from charging, but it didn’t stop, just slowed down a bit, but soon it still rushed into the Law Enforcement Knight Order’s formation.

Fortunately, the Law Enforcement Knight Order didn’t have blessings from the Elf Forest nor the dense life elements like elves, and weren’t attacked by this special pollution, so nothing happened initially.

The elves on the opposite side also watched their situation.

Witnessing the inability of the purification skill to dispel the pollution, many elves seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

An elf officer mocked indulgently, "Is this what you confidently declared could easily solve the pollution?"

Others quickly echoed:

"You still want to come in and help us solve the pollution, it’s remarkable if you aren’t wiped out by the pollution yourselves."

"Haha, just bluffing! Got slapped in the face?"

"What about the purification skill, save us now."

"..."

Among the border elves, a large portion of them weren’t purebred elves from the Elf Forest; the proportion of mixed-blood elves was high.

Those elite ones did not come directly, but watched from the shadows, first letting the border troops block the Law Enforcement Knight Order, appearing only if the Law Enforcement Knight Order crossed the border.

As a result, these mixed-blood elves, due to long interaction with humans and beastmen, and their bloodline, appeared completely mismatched with elven characteristics.

The elven elite hidden in the shadows, listening to their words, couldn’t help but frown.

"Tsk, mixed-blood, wait until Melina gets angry, and you won’t have enough lives even if you had ten of them."

The commander of the elven elite shook his head.

Just as he was contemplating how to deal with the Law Enforcement Knight Order’s wrath, he suddenly froze, shockingly looking towards the Law Enforcement Knight Order’s area.

Only to see, amidst the light of the purification skill, a faint green brilliance emerged, slowly appearing in the entire purification skill area.

Those pollutions vanished quickly under the light of the purification skill, like turtles that lost their shells.

And the separated life elements didn’t disperse; instead, they were absorbed by the girl in the green brilliance center, transformed into more life force, used to separate more pollution, achieving a cycle.

"This, this is impossible!"

The commander stood up in shock.

This spell, others might not know, but he who once assisted Elina in clearing small pollution sources knew.

In the Elf Royal Family’s words, this was the gift from the Elf God, a special ability exclusive to the inheritors of the Elf God.

Now, however, this gift was used by a human girl.

After the initial shock, the commander hurriedly turned on the specially made recording machine.

This machine was initially intended to record the Law Enforcement Knight Order’s embarrassment in facing pollution.

Now, however, it became a record of them showing off.

The commander didn’t want the Law Enforcement Knight Order to show off, but a human girl used the Elf God’s gift, such an occurrence must be recorded and brought back to the Elf King by all means.

Meanwhile, the jeering border troops slowly stopped as Benovia took action.

Their faces turning dumbfounded on the spot.
