Is the mecha just a limiter? Muscle Lock, Activate!

#33 - Chapter 33 I respect you as a man and don’t say a word.

The black stockings felt warm in my hand.

[Dark Elf Queen's Original Stockings (Special Item)]: Has some collectible value, perhaps someone will like them.

Huh?

Who on earth would like these?

Wang Chu glanced at the headless corpse beside him.

Her pair of slender, fair, long legs were stretched out straight.

Hmm... good legs, what a pity.

Ahem...

Wang Chu shook his head, throwing the strange thoughts to the back of his mind.

"These items aren't the key, the key is... I've been hit with another curse..."

[Abyssal Restriction (Eternal Curse)]: You have been targeted by the Spider Goddess, reducing experience gained in Abyssal instances by 50%. (Please don't scold me, fathers, this curse will be resolved in the next chapter.)

Being targeted by the Spider Goddess is fine.

Dare to come? Then I'll punch her down!

But [Abyssal Restriction] isn't like [Rapid Weakening], which seems like a huge debuff, but doesn't really affect me.

Reducing experience gain by 50% is a real, substantial debuff!

"If I want to get rid of this curse, I can only rely on Ailsa's quest."

Wang Chu thought of the quest he had just received from Ailsa.

[Elven Saintess's Plea: Fulfill the Elven Saintess Ailsa's wish, resolve the source of the World Tree's corruption, and receive a blessing from the Elven Goddess.]

The Elven Goddess and the Spider Goddess are both goddesses... perhaps she can resolve my curse.

Wang Chu entered his Spirit Mark to take a look.

[Main Quest: Find the source of the World Tree's corruption.]

"Hmm... if I remember correctly, the Dark Elf Queen Irene said she came specifically to find me."

"If that's the case, then her appearance can only be considered a regional, sudden quest, unrelated to the main quest."

"The cause of the World Tree's corruption... lies elsewhere!"

Thinking of this, Wang Chu turned to look at Ailsa.

At this moment, the latter was looking at him with a strange expression.

Hmm?

Why is she staring at my hand?

Crap!

"Don't misunderstand..."

Wang Chu immediately put the Dark Elf Queen's stockings into his Spirit Mark.

He wasn't interested in the so-called original stockings!

But he couldn't resist the fact that this was a special item, perhaps it would trigger a key quest in the future!

Ailsa's gaze towards Wang Chu became even stranger.

The action of putting the item away seemed to deepen the misunderstanding.

"Divine Envoy... I didn't expect that you..."

Wang Chu interrupted directly.

"Don't speak! Instance... the World Tree's pollution hasn't ended, let's go quickly."

Speaking of the World Tree.

Ailsa's expression immediately became serious.

......

The closer they got to the World Tree, which stood between heaven and earth.

An unspeakable shock surged like a tide!

The canopy blotted out the sky, vast and boundless.

"What kind of change... could pollute such an existence..."

Wang Chu muttered to himself.

Ailsa said, "Almost there."

Turning over a small hill.

What came into view was an endless grassland, the trunk of the World Tree was staggeringly thick.

Countless spiraling and spreading roots were deeply rooted in the earth!

Wang Chu, carrying Ailsa, jumped down from the hill.

With a bang, he stood firmly on the lawn.

With the twenty or so Abyssal monsters and the Dark Elf Queen cleared, the surrounding Abyssal aura had weakened a lot.

As they got closer, Ailsa's eyes lit up, and she struggled to get down.

"It's the Queen!"

However, Wang Chu forcibly held her, not letting her down.

Then, Wang Chu chuckled.

"This is your Queen?"

"She seems a little different from your description."

Not far away, a figure came into view.

It was a tall and elegant elven woman.

She had delicate features, fair skin, and a faint smile on her face, as if she had an endless love for life.

However... Wang Chu could see clearly with his [Abyssal Eye].

[Fallen Elf Queen Aina (Lord)]

[Level: Tier 1, Level 18]

[Strength: 1200]

[Agility: 1000]

[Defense: 1000]

[Introduction: An elven leader who has been bewitched by the Abyss and lost her way in the pursuit of power.]

[Skills: Natural Resonance, Moonlight Blessing, Elemental Manipulation, Natural Shield]

[Weakness: Abdomen]

So...

The Elf Queen was the source of the World Tree's corruption by the Abyssal aura!

At this time.

Even if Ailsa was stupid, she knew what was happening.

As a saintess who often came into contact with the Queen... she could see at a glance that the Queen's aura had changed!

And the reason for sending a full 20 teams out to find the source of the pollution...

Perhaps it was just to send away the elites of their race...

Ailsa desperately tried not to let tears well up, her body trembled slightly, and she asked with difficulty: "Why!"

The Elf Queen still had a smile on her face: "Silly child... the Elven Goddess has abandoned us... we haven't received a divine decree from the Elven Goddess for hundreds of years."

Ailsa's eyes widened slightly.

How could it be? The Elven Goddess abandoned us?

"So... I'm just trying to lead the race to find another way out, what's wrong with that?"

Aina lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, as if she was repenting.

"You're lying."

Wang Chu took a step forward and said lightly.

Where did this妖精 come from?

Daring to spout nonsense in front of my, Old Wang's, [Abyssal Eye]?

Clearly an elf who has lost her way for her own selfish desires, where did she get such a big banner?

Still doing it for the race?

I呸!

What are you pretending to be, a kind-faced female Bodhisattva?
