Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 25 Lizardmen Blood Moon

"This trip to the treasure trove was definitely worthwhile."

Lin Yi has left the treasure vault and arrived on the ground.

Looking at the Sun Elf King's Scepter in his hand, which seemed to be made of white jade, he became more and more satisfied.

The scepter was engraved with elven patterns, and a bright green magic gem was set at the top, which seemed to be an extremely rare life gem.

The entire scepter looks very beautiful and exquisite.

"Besides greatly enhancing the power of my magical skills..."

"It also possesses extremely important symbolic meaning."

"This is the scepter of the Sun Elf King, representing the supreme power of the elven faction and the authority to judge evil and dark forces!"

"Right now, the only thing I lack is strength!"

A Sun Elf King of the King rank is really not impressive.

It has to be at least a demigod.

The Sun Elf King of that time was an immortal deity, capable of battling ancient demons.

Despite their ultimate defeat, they demonstrated a power unparalleled in the world.

Lin Yi wants to become the true Sun Elf King and rule the elf faction, so he can't be too weak.

……

"We can go hunting now."

Lin Yi gripped the scepter and walked toward the distant ruins.

He has put away the magic wand that the old tree forged for him.

Until he obtains a more powerful or more suitable wand, this scepter of the Sun Elf King will remain his constant magical weapon.

As for repairs, we'll talk about that later.

Thirty million energy crystals—his entire territory combined wouldn't even amount to a fraction of that.

……

Amidst the ruins.

A fiery dragon, tens of meters long, coiled high in the sky.

Amidst the roar, the sound of dragons howling echoed.

Below the fiery dragon was a raging sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, numerous magical beasts struggled, but were quickly reduced to ashes.

"The Fire Dragon's Roar has increased at least fivefold in both destructive power and range!"

"Truly a divine artifact!"

"Even though it's damaged and its power is less than one-thousandth of what it used to be, it's still far superior to ordinary magic equipment."

Lin Yi then tested other magical skills.

Amplified by the Sun Elf King's Scepter, the power of each of his magical skills increased dramatically. Even his low-level magic skill—Fireball—was nearly as powerful as his previous Fire Dragon Roar.

"Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse."

"As the quality of the equipment improves, our strength will naturally increase as well."

Lin Yi grinned and continued clearing the monsters from the ruins.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a majestic city wall suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

The city wall is entirely dark blue-black.

It is over 100 meters tall and its surface is covered with countless vines.

Many places have collapsed, revealing gaps leading to the outside world.

"That's the inner city wall!"

Lin Yi walked straight there.

They found another set of steps and climbed to the very top of the city wall.

He has not yet reached the extraordinary level, nor is he a wind mage, so he does not have the ability to fly.

"It really is a world of swords and magic..."

"The quality of this city wall is truly remarkable; it hasn't weathered at all after thousands of years. Even the gaps aren't due to the passage of time, but rather to the wars of yesteryear." "The remaining sections of the wall are still incredibly sturdy!"

Lin Yi knew that the giant stones used to build this city wall were not ordinary stones, but were made using magical methods, with a large amount of magical materials added to them.

Both physical and magical resistance are extremely high.

Because he hit the wall with a fireball that was more than ten meters in diameter, but the wall was completely unharmed.

If it were ordinary stone, it would have melted long ago.

"I want to turn this ancient city ruins into my base, so city walls are naturally indispensable."

"Once the inner city ruins are cleared and the territory's influence expands, I'll find an opportunity to repair this wall. This will not only protect my territory but also defend against attacks from the evil forces outside the city."

"And it's not just about the city walls; we also need to find a way to create a magical barrier that covers the entire inner city."

"After all, city walls can only defend against monsters that cannot fly."

"Only city walls combined with magical barriers can provide comprehensive protection for the territory!"

In an instant, Lin Yi's mind raced, and she considered many things.

……

Lin Yi turned her gaze to the outside of the city walls.

As far as the eye can see, there are vast stretches of dense forest, countless tall and sturdy ancient trees, and mountains piled with white bones; there are hardly any architectural ruins to be seen.

However, scattered buildings resembling villages could be vaguely seen in those dense forests.

"The dense forest is teeming with magical beasts and monsters."

"The mountain of bones is a stronghold of the undead. Even during the day, there are huge numbers of undead roaming in those areas."

"As for those village outposts..."

"It was established by an intelligent race from the evil faction."

"The vast majority are lizard people!"

Long ago, when Lin Yi used the power of the old tree to overlook the entire ancient city ruins, he had already figured out the general situation of the outer city.

Therefore, he was not surprised to see the completely different scenes of the outer city and the inner city.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, countless birds burst forth from a dense forest in the distance.

Lin Yi looked up and quickly spotted many figures moving about in the dense forest.

After a few minutes, the figures emerged from the dense forest and went straight to a gap in the city wall in the distance.

"They really are lizardmen!"

After seeing those figures clearly, Lin Yi murmured something.

Lizardmen, intelligent beings of the evil faction.

They have the head and tail of a lizard, but can stand and walk on two legs like humans. Their forepaws have also evolved into arms similar to those of humans.

In addition, the lizardmen's bodies were covered with a layer of dark scales.

Especially on its back, the scales are the hardest.

Under Lin Yi's watchful gaze, hundreds of lizardmen began moving the rubble piled up at the breach in the city wall. One lizardman, wielding a wooden staff, shouted, "You damned good-for-nothings, hurry up! We must reinforce the tribe's walls before the Blood Moon arrives. Anyone who dares to slack off at this time, I'll be the first to kill them!"

"Blood Moon?"

Lin Yi's expression turned serious.

He had completely forgotten about it.

At that moment, he recalled the rat swarm that had occurred two months earlier.

The Blood Moon Calamity is a disaster that affects the entire Dark Continent.

It occurs once every three months.

Whenever a blood moon appears, the evil power of the abyss sweeps across the entire dark continent, driving countless beings into a state of madness.

The lower the IQ, the more severe the level of madness.

Especially those magical beasts are most susceptible to the effects of the Blood Moon, and the "severely affected" may even turn into demonic creatures.

Demonic creatures, or simply demon servants!
