The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 252 Breakthrough, Five-Ring Elf Bloodline!
Inside the castle.

David is still training with the Elf Queen.

His four-ring elf bloodline continued to improve and finally reached the five-ring level.

As his bloodline broke through, the Elf Queen immediately felt the difference in him.

"A breakthrough?"

The Elf Queen spoke softly, somewhat delighted.

"Ah."

David smiled and nodded.

He could feel that the connection between the Five-Ring Elf bloodline and nature was becoming closer.

As the elven bloodline broke through, the saplings of the ancient tree of life that were connected to the elven bloodline were also changing to some extent.

The Elf Queen looked at David, her eyes gleaming with approval and expectation.

She could sense David's new level of connection to nature and the ancient tree of life emanating from him.

This change not only enhances David’s strength, but also foreshadows a deeper harmony between him and nature.”

Your progress has exceeded my expectations."

There was a hint of pride in the Elf Queen's voice, as if she was watching her children grow.

David took a deep breath, feeling the power surge through his body.

This feeling of being deeply connected to nature made him feel extremely safe and powerful.

"I feel that my connection with the Ancient Tree of Life has become closer," David said.

His attention was focused on the young ancient tree of life at the heart position.

Although it was still small, David could feel that it was growing at an unprecedented rate.

The Elf Queen smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Ancient Tree of Life is a symbol of the elven bloodline, and its growth reflects your growth."

"The stronger your bloodline is, the stronger it will grow, and its growth will in turn nourish your bloodline. It's a mutually reinforcing relationship."

David and the Elf Queen entered the Elf Secret Realm together, walked to the Ancient Tree of Life, and gently placed their hands on its trunk.

He closed his eyes and felt the vitality of the ancient tree with his heart.

Under his touch, the Ancient Tree of Life seemed to become more vibrant, its leaves became greener, and its branches became tougher.

David could feel that the tree was establishing a deeper connection with him, that they were connected by blood and grew together.

"Your bloodline is not only a kind of power, it is also the bond that connects you to this world." The Elf Queen's voice was full of encouragement.

David opened his eyes, smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, he picked up the Elf Queen again, pressed her directly on the Ancient Tree of Life, and began the most primitive life fusion again.

The two continued their practice, and with their joint efforts, the Ancient Tree of Life would surely regain its vitality and become the strongest guardian of the elves.

Just when David and the Elf Queen's training reached its climax.

In the misty forest outside the castle, Draco led a huge vampire army and approached quietly.

They were dressed in black armor, their eyes glowing red, like demons in the night, marching towards the elf territory.

"go ahead!"

Draco growled, and his voice seemed to penetrate the surrounding fog.

The vampires began to move slowly, their steps steady and powerful.

The smell of war is in the air, and they are thirsty for blood and power.

At the same time, inside the castle, David and the Elf Queen were immersed in cultivation and were unaware of the movements in the outside world.

Suddenly, a strong vibration was heard, forcing the two to stop practicing.

"This is……"

David frowned slightly, he felt a strong dark aura invading him.

The close connection between his body and the Ancient Tree of Life made him aware of an impending disaster.

"Hurry, let's go check it out." The Elf Queen's eyes were solemn, and she quickly took David out of the castle.

When they arrived outside the territory, a scene of paleness and shadow came into view.

The vampire army poured in like a tide, their dark and cold figures approaching the elven territory like a nightmare.

"They are coming!" David's face was solemn.

This will be a life-and-death battle, they must protect the Ancient Tree of Life and the entire elf race!
Draco stood at the forefront of the army. He could vaguely feel the ancient tree of life emitting a mysterious light, and he couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"That is the important target we are fighting for! Today, we will definitely be able to take it!"

With his order, a large number of undead warriors poured out from the rear and rushed towards the castle like a tide.

The shrill and cold shouts, accompanied by the metal collision sounds of armor colliding, came one after another, making people feel fearful.

"Prepare for battle! Protect the Ancient Tree of Life!"

The Elf Queen commanded decisively. She summoned the natural forces around her to activate the mist barrier and elemental barrier.

David also quickly adjusted his state. He felt the new power surging in his body.

He stretched out his hand and summoned the elements gathered from nature. Under his guidance, these elements turned into streams of light and continuously poured into the barrier.

The battle begins!

Neither side was willing to give in, and wave after wave of attacks were launched, as fierce as a storm.

Draco observed the battle situation grimly: "These little bugs are too tenacious."

He knew that if he continued to fight like this, even with the advantage in numbers, he might not be able to win easily.

"Send me a phantom assassin to sneak into the barrier!"

Several figures hidden in the dark, with agile bodies and stern faces moved quietly, and they sneaked towards the barrier at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, Draco was not willing to be outdone in the head-on confrontation. He led the Undead Warriors to attack the front line again and again, hoping to quickly break through the defense line.

Sure enough, countless sharp weapons cut through the air, and terrifying air currents swept over. At this moment, in the chaos, those phantom assassins had quietly sneaked into the barrier.

They all possess special powers that allow them to ignore barriers.

The phantom assassins who infiltrated the barrier moved quickly and silently like ghosts, their target directly aimed at the Elf Queen.

In the chaos, the elves were all focused on the frontal battle and were unaware of the approaching undercurrent.

"Quick! Find the location of the Elf Queen!"

An assassin whispered an order, his sinister smile looking even more devious in the moonlight.

At this time, they finally approached a hidden area in the barrier, which was the castle of the Elf Queen. But they didn't realize that the surrounding trees were constantly waving their branches and surrounding these assassins.

David has now activated the second ring plant mark in his body, combining his spirit with the breath of nature, and using the plant mark to blend himself into the entire forest.

"Echoes of Life!" David intoned.

The surrounding trees seemed to come alive under his guidance.

Vines emerged from the ground like long arms, quickly wrapping around the assassins lurking in the shadows.

The Phantom Assassins were about to approach the castle when they were entangled by sudden vines.

The strong and vibrant power of the plants made it impossible for them to break free.

The assassins looked at each other in amazement that these natural elements that should have been quiet and silent had turned out to be their biggest enemies.

"Do it!" An assassin tried to cut the vines with the dagger in his hand.

But the invisible force seemed to have life and kept reorganizing itself, binding them tighter and tighter.

Several assassins cried out in fear and helplessness, but the surrounding trees and vegetation seemed to respond to David's call and kept moving closer to them, trapping them.

At the same time, in the fierce battle ahead, Draco also felt something strange.

He frowned and looked at the movement coming from the direction of the castle. "How is this possible? How can there be such a powerful plant power?"

He was unwilling to believe that nature would fight back against him, so he immediately ordered the remaining troops to speed up the attack, hoping to break the barrier set up by the Elf Queen and David as soon as possible.

However, after David activated the plant mark, he was completely integrated into the forest.

He could feel every leaf, every branch, every ray of sunlight.

The power brought by this blending with nature allowed his abilities to continue to increase, and at the same time, he could also perceive the enemy's position more clearly.

"Let me end this." David whispered.

He raised his hand and summoned the vitality of all the lush plants around him. The vines began to glow green and shot like arrows at the remaining phantom assassins who were not restrained.

This force quickly turned it into ashes and it could no longer move forward!

After killing these phantom assassins, David continued to control the power of the entire Misty Forest and rushed towards the enemies outside the barrier.

The power of nature continued to surge, and as he activated the plant marks, the vines and trees became more active under his guidance, rushing towards the vampire army like a storm.

These plants are not only weapons of attack, but also an important barrier to protect the elves.

As the vines swarmed towards the enemy like giant snakes, the vampire army began to feel shocked and panicked.

They originally thought that they could easily defeat the elves' defense line, but they didn't expect to face such a powerful natural force.

Wave after wave of vines quickly entangled the vampires in the front row, dragging them into the earth and binding their bodies mercilessly.

Draco roared: "These lowly creatures! Fight back!"

He knew that he had to turn the tide of the battle quickly, so he ordered the Undead Warriors to increase the frequency of their attacks while trying to find the location of the Elf Queen.

But in this complex and chaotic battlefield, he was hindered by the endless surge of plant power.

Although David's current wizard strength is only at the third ring, and his plant mark is only at the second ring.

However, with the blessing of the sapling of the ancient tree of life, and the blessing of the misty forest itself, the power that can be displayed has reached the fourth ring!

"Go all out! Don't stop!"

Draco swung the sword, and powerful dark magic was released from his palm.

The undead warriors began to launch a fierce attack on the castle. They tried to break through the defense line formed by vines and tree roots, but encountered many obstacles.

At the same time, beside David, the Elf Queen also launched her powerful magic.

She raised her hands high, calling upon storms and lightning, merging with the elements into a powerful energy.

A bolt of lightning struck down like a giant snake, instantly turning several undead spirits that rushed up into ashes.

"Let them feel the wrath of nature!" shouted the Elf Queen.

Every spell and every arrow carries a strong breath of nature, making the enemy feel fearless.

In the midst of the intense chaos, several surviving Phantom Assassins attempted to sneak into the barrier again, but found that they could no longer get close.

They were bound by the vibrant and indomitable forces of nature around them and could only struggle hard.

But they could not escape the death-like bondage no matter what. They watched in despair as their companions were trapped or destroyed one by one, and they themselves would become victims of this war.

"Fight back! We can't let them destroy everything we have!" Draco tried his best and ordered a final attack.

Under his command, a large number of undead warriors formed a black torrent and rushed towards the castle again, hoping to break through this desperate situation.

However, all this was doomed to fail.

Just as the impact was about to happen, the vegetation that entangled the vampire army members suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

When the abundant power of the plant marks gathered, a violent and huge green vortex swept around, sucking all the enemies in.

The vampires were terrified and could not resist the unyielding and noisy roar coming from the depths of the forest!
As the energy continues to spread, everything in nature seems to be responding, and this misty forest gradually becomes more mysterious and more unpredictable.

Draco and his army have fallen into despair. What they are about to face is not just death, but a devastating defeat!

When the last ray of light faded, those figures who were once sharp and cold, extremely ferocious, and tirelessly pursuing blood and pain had turned into ashes and could never be resurrected.

As the last ray of light flickered across the battlefield, Draco's army collapsed and panic swept the entire battlefield.

Those once brave vampires now face despair and destruction.

They scattered, no longer able to withstand the powerful forces unleashed by David and the Elven Queen.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Draco roared in despair in the chaos.

The undead souls entangled by the power of plants and knocked down by lightning were all thrown into chaos by his command.

As Draco tried to escape, David felt his breath escaping deeper into the forest.

"Want to leave?"

David's figure disappeared in a flash.

He had already seen that this fourth-ring bloodline wizard was the mastermind behind the scenes.

As long as it is completely erased, the crisis can be resolved.

"Echo of Life!"

David called upon the power of nature again, and the vibrant plants around him began to stir.

He controlled the vines and trees and chased forward at the fastest speed.

In this misty forest, he was like a true guardian of nature, blending into everything around him and quickly approaching the black shadow.
