It was precisely because of this that Lu Ming and his companions were able to learn from these corrupted elves where Mei Gao's delivery room was located.

However, to be honest, Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled as to why Mego, a follower of the Filthy Blood Clan and a believer of Adan, would choose the Filthy Blood Clan's queen as the one to conceive him. Could it be because they didn't know who their Old God was? Or perhaps they simply didn't know that the Old God their clan was currently protecting and nurturing was Mego?

But what the answer is, is not important at this moment.

The only thing that matters is where the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan is now.

Those cowardly and weak individuals, lacking any real fighting ability, could only point the way for Lu Ming and his companions under their persistent questioning, making a final effort for their own fragile lives.

Perhaps feeling that these people had gone too far—first joining the Filthy Blood Clan to save their own lives, and then betraying them to save their own lives—the three, after finding out where the Filthy Blood Clan's queen was and how to get there, ended the lives of these corrupted elves with a single sword strike without saying a word, causing them to lose their memories and re-enter the nightmare.

Then, the three of them began their journey toward the location of the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan.

-----------------------------------

Just as Lu Ming and his group were heading towards the palace where the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan resided, in a palace located deep within the Elven Royal Palace, Agomelas Mandrake, the most trusted Tree Elf Priestess of the former Queen of the Aifa Empire, was awaiting the future or doom of her race.

Originally, she harbored ulterior motives in serving the Elven Queen. After the Elven Queen was devoured by Eldridge, choosing to serve him wasn't inherently problematic. However, while serving the Deep Saint, she gradually realized she had made a mistake. A grave mistake!

The Church of the Deep is no good. To plot against them is like trying to get something for nothing. The day of our destruction could come at any moment.

So she chose to switch allegiance and instead served Eldridge's ally, the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan.

But now she has realized that this was also a mistake, a mistake far more serious than serving Eldridge!

Eldridge is merely capricious, while the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan is a dangerous individual who doesn't even know what she's doing. Now, the entire Mandragora Clan and the Filthy Blood Clan are trapped in Mego's nightmare, and until Mego's birth, nothing is truly safe. And who knows what these tree spirits and elves will become after His birth!

It's important to know that many elves have already turned into monsters after absorbing the pure blood of the Filthy Blood Clan. The Mandragora tribe, being tree spirits, are genetically more plant-like than animal-like, and haven't experienced many mutations. However, there have been some variations, so they haven't been completely unaffected.

This led to the entire Mandala tribe being gripped by fear after witnessing the elves' tragic state. The tribe leader, too, began to contemplate the tribe's future: should they stay and serve Mego, this foreign god, ultimately being transformed into a monster no longer a tree spirit, or should they choose to escape this inescapable nightmare and ultimately face Mego's wrath?

Both paths are wrong. And resistance is utterly impossible for the Mandragora tribe, which has very few tree spirits. The Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan now forbids any tree spirit or elf from approaching her.

The maids around her now are all original members of her tribe who escaped with their lives back in the Kingdom of Miracaisa, not those she recruited in Puru. In other words, the Queen of the Filthy Blood Clan doesn't trust tree spirits or elves at all. Now, at this crucial juncture vital to the Filthy Blood Clan, only those from another world who are originally members of the Filthy Blood Clan are the people the Queen truly trusts!

Sitting in the palace bestowed upon her by the Elven Queen, Agomelas felt for the first time that she had been too hasty. She shouldn't have let the Elven Queen drive away useful ministers and generals one by one. It was a mistake that harmed the Elven race, the Elven Queen and her people, and also her own tribe.

"Your Majesty, was I wrong?"

Just as Agomelas was reflecting, a tree spirit from the Mandragora tribe, whose body had sprouted several extra eyes, rushed in and said to Agomelas in a panic, "It's terrible! It's terrible! Chieftain, it's terrible! Humans are attacking!"

Upon hearing this, Agomelas frowned and asked with slight displeasure, "What's going on?"

"Chieftain, there are three humans outside, breaking through the vampire elves' defenses and heading towards the Queen's palace! They're almost here, you'd better lead us away!"

"Run? Where to run? This is a dream, we can't get out!" Hearing the tree spirit's words, Agomelas couldn't help but sneer, "So now, we have no choice but to be loyal!"

"But......"

"No buts! We, the Mandala clan, have no way out!" Agomelas rebuked the tree spirit.

At this point, running away is pointless. So, with all the tree spirits of the Mandala tribe and the elves who have joined the Blood of the Impure race now trapped in the dreams of foreign gods like Mego and the Moon Spirits, the only way to gain the favor of Mego, the soon-to-be-born ancient god, and preserve everything for the tree spirits and the Mandala tribe is to fight with everything they have to gain the favor of the soon-to-be-born ancient god.

Unlike the elves, she knew this was a dream, and her intentions were good, but she forgot that even the most loyal losers would not attract the attention of those in power, especially when their way of thinking was completely different from her own race!

Before the enemy arrived, Agomelas summoned all the tree spirits of his tribe and had them use a secret technique to turn all the living beings they could see into puppets of their own kind. They stood ready in a sanctuary on the only way to the palace of the vampire queen.

Soon, despite being blocked by the Filthy Blood Clan elves, Lu Ming and his two companions fought their way through, stepping over the corpses of those elves, and arrived at the temple.

"Tree elves?" Upon entering this temple located within the elven court, Lu Ming was slightly taken aback when he saw hundreds of tree elves and nearly five thousand puppets resembling phantom archers.

Looking at the temple, which appeared small from the outside but was enormous inside—a full square kilometer in size—and noticing the unusual plants and trees within, both Lu Ming and the woman in black robes couldn't help but frown.

“Bishop Amelia, be careful. We're about to have a big battle with these tree spirits and their puppets. We won't be able to look after you during the fight, so please don't get killed by them.” He casually tossed aside his rifle, which was now out of ammunition, and drew his other straight sword, Irithyll, from his waist, turning to Bishop Amelia to give her this instruction.

"Hey! What do you mean?! We've fought side by side before! Is it really necessary to distrust my fighting ability like this? At worst, I'll just transform into my beast form and smash all these puppets to pieces. There's no way I'll die at the hands of these guys!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Alright."

Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with both legs, and in a flash, wielding the Blue Flame Sword and the Irithyll Straight Sword, he charged towards the tree elves and their sea of ​​puppets.

Upon seeing this, the woman in black robes immediately rushed forward as well.

As the chieftain of the tree elves of the Mandala tribe, Agomelas couldn't help but let out a cold laugh when he saw Lu Ming, a monster who appeared as a half-dragon in the dream, leading a black-robed woman exuding an aura similar to that of the Church of the Deep, charging towards his army.

"So many phantom archers are already several times stronger than an ordinary army. Moreover, all members of our Mandala tribe are here. Relying on our tribe's secret techniques, even if several real dragons charged into our formation, it would be impossible..."

However, before Agomelas could finish speaking, something shocking happened in the temple that astonished all the tree spirits of the Mandala tribe, including Agomelas!

Using the Blue Flame Sword's ability to act as a spellcasting catalyst, Lu Ming cast a spell similar to the Bloodthirsty Crescent Moon, imbuing the Blue Flame Sword with a large amount of magic power, allowing him to unleash sword energy slashes like a swordsman! However, these sword energy slashes were not composed of physical energy, but rather of magic power!

The crimson, terrifying magical sword energy could easily tear apart the bodies of the phantom archers, ripping them and their internal parasitic plants into pieces. No matter how many puppets rushed up, it was all the same; they were just there to be eaten!

So when the tree spirits saw this, they were so angry they almost ground their teeth to powder.

However, Agomelas did not panic at this scene. As Lu Ming and the others charged towards them, she began to command the tree spirits of the Mandala tribe to use a special secret technique, making the Phantom Archers, these special puppets, as powerful as monsters, while simultaneously cursing Lu Ming and his companions, causing the technique to steal their power.

As the tree spirits began chanting incantations, the power of Lu Ming and Bishop Amelia gradually began to dissipate, bit by bit.

Standing within the encirclement of the Phantom Archers, Lu Ming felt a sense of powerlessness within his body, and sensed that an invisible and intangible plant was absorbing his power.

Thus, he couldn't help but glance at the woman in black robes and Bishop Amelia, only to discover that, apart from the woman in black robes whose true form was dark black mud, he and Bishop Amelia were both having their power continuously drained by that plant.

Thus, while he was hacking and slashing at the phantom archers, he was also thinking of a way to resolve this deadly situation.

Unfortunately, before he could come up with a solution, a terrifying roar came from Bishop Amelia's direction, causing him and the woman in black robes to instinctively look in that direction.

They discovered that Bishop Amelia had turned into a beast and gone mad, relentlessly smashing and tearing the phantom archers to pieces!

"So he's turned into a beast after all? Idiot!" the woman in black muttered under her breath, then stopped looking at Bishop Amelia and began to concentrate on killing all the phantom archers!

Meanwhile, Lu Ming also came up with a way to break through these damned, invisible and colorless plants: simply kill the tree spirits!

"Divine Speed!" With a soft shout, Lu Ming flashed into the group of phantom archers, using his sharp blade to cut them in half one by one, as they were no different from statues under the divine speed. He then attacked several of the dozen or so tree elves closest to him.

Before their expressions could even slowly turn to terror, he chopped off their heads with a single sword stroke!

Although Lu Ming wasn't a ruthless person, to be honest, these tree elves with multiple eyes, corrupted by the blood of the old gods, made him somewhat unhappy. He couldn't help but want to kill all these ruthless and vicious tree elves who could turn elves, humans, and beastmen into puppets!

So after killing these tree spirits, Lu Ming went on to kill several more.

Lu Ming's terrifying killing power, which instantly annihilated several of his fellow tree spirits, instilled fear in the tree spirits.

Only Agomelas continued to command the tree spirits, instructing them to use phantom archers to forcibly block Lu Ming's attacks. Once Lu Ming's power was drained by the secret technique, there would be nothing to fear!

Chapter Twenty-Eight - Mei Gao's Wet Nurse

Crimson and azure magic swirled within the temple. Each appearance brought with it a spray of blood and severed limbs!

At this moment, the scene in the temple, if it were in the real world, might be called a 'massacre'! But in this dream, it is merely granting temporary relief to those poor souls whose souls have been corrupted and whose consciousness has been strangled by the tree spirits' secret arts.

When they enter the dream again, they will once again fall into this pitiful state...

With a single stomp, Lu Ming crushed the body of an elf parasitized by a tree spirit's parasitic plant. Terrifying flames burned him and the plant within him to ashes. Then, Lu Ming looked at the tree spirits, protected by layers of puppets created by the tree spirits using phantom archers, and Agomelas, the leader of the tree spirits.

"What a nuisance!" Looking at the layered phantom archer army, Lu Ming couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

At this rate, who knows when we'll be able to reach the palace where the vampire queen resides and kill her before Meg is born, thus preventing her birth.

Therefore, Lu Ming no longer intended to hold back his strength, as he wanted to focus most of his energy on dealing with the Queen of the Blood Clan. He sheathed the Blue Flame Sword and took the Bell of Hope from his waist, beginning to shake the sacred bell.

Meanwhile, the shimmering slug that the hunter found in the royal city of Dorangreg, whose body seemed to allow one to see the universe, broke free from the constraints of space and appeared on the arm of Lu Ming that was shaking the Holy Bell. As the Holy Bell rang, it transferred its power to Lu Ming, turning Lu Ming's attack into an even more terrifying miracle!

The Yangxing Thunder Disaster was a miracle of the God of Luoya, but the miracle that Lu Ming is using now is a miracle of divine power jointly bestowed by the God of Luoya and a powerful being from the depths of the universe!

As the bell rang, jet-black lightning appeared before Lu Ming, forming a magic circle composed of lightning. At the same time, the slug's power formed divine power novae at each node of the magic circle! As the magic circle was completed, the divine power novae condensed one by one!

"Accept the wrath, tree spirits! Starlight Thunder!" With Lu Ming's shout, the pitch-black lightning magic circle transformed into an unimaginably terrifying bolt of lightning, shooting straight towards the phantom archer legion and the tree spirits.

After traveling a distance, the divine novae that shot out along with the dark lightning exploded, turning the linear lightning attack into a wide-area attack. At the same time, the divine novae also shattered into countless stars, which, accompanied by the night sky formed by the dark lightning, bombarded the entire Phantom Archer Legion.

With a deafening clap of thunder, Lu Ming's miraculous attack wiped out most of the Phantom Archers!

The rest were also seriously injured to varying degrees due to being caught in the crossfire.

"How could such an attack really exist?!" Agomelas exclaimed in shock as he looked at the tribal members who had survived that miracle and the phantom archers, seeing that they and the others were all severely injured by the lightning and starburst.

At this moment, after this miracle that consumed almost half of Lu Ming's magic power, only a few hundred of the thousands of phantom archers remained, and only three or four tree elves were left.

It can be said that Lu Ming's attack almost shattered all of Agomelas's hopes and the deep-seated racial aspirations hidden in their hearts!

Carrying his sword, Lu Ming walked step by step toward Agomelas. The slug catalyst also climbed onto his shoulder, making strange noises.

Along the way, neither the surviving tree elves nor the phantom archers dared to attack Lu Ming, not even under Agomelas's orders.

Whether it was a tree spirit with its own consciousness or a parasitic plant without, they were all terrified by that attack.

Even the strongest holy dragon among the mortal races wouldn't survive a direct hit from that attack. It was something these mortals could never face.

Seeing that even his last remaining tree elves were no longer obeying his commands, Agomelas took several steps back in terror and roared, "Have you forgotten?! Everything we've done was so that our tree elf race could gain our own power, our own home, and no longer struggle like beggars to survive in the Aifa Empire. I...I...everything I've done was for our tree elves, for our Mandragora tribe! Are you just going to abandon me like this?!"

Unfortunately, her compatriots chose to ignore her.

Everything became irreversible after Lu Ming's attack.

The Mandala tribe of today has come to an end.

Approaching Agomelas, Lu Ming raised the hand that held the Irithyll Straight Sword, looked at her coldly, and asked in a chilling voice, "Is the Queen of the Blood Clan in the palace behind this temple?"

Looking at Lu Ming in horror, Agomelas gritted his teeth. After struggling internally for a while, he finally grabbed Lu Ming's hand holding the sword and forcibly used the Irithyll Straight Sword in Lu Ming's hand to cut off his head.

Having betrayed the elves and humans she served several times, she chose loyalty for the first time. Since there was no chance of victory, she might as well die.

As Agomelas's head rolled off and his body fell into his arms, Lu Ming paused for a moment, then gently placed the corpse of this tree spirit who had sworn to die rather than surrender on the ground.

"Compared to those elves, an opponent like you deserves respect. Although, your schemes, thoughts, and vision are not very good." He used magic to fuse Agomelas's head with her body, preventing her from being decapitated. Then, Lu Ming sighed slightly and, together with the black-robed woman and Bishop Amelia, who had already turned into a beast but still retained a sliver of rationality for some reason, headed to the next palace.

But the moment the three of them stepped out of the temple, they saw the Queen of the Blood Clan lying on the steps outside the palace, gazing at the palace in agony.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Ming discovered that the queen's lower body was bleeding profusely, and there was a gruesome laceration on her abdomen, as if something had torn her stomach open!

"Queen of the Blood Clan! Do you remember what I told you back then? The blood child you wanted to give birth to might not be the one you wanted, but rather someone with ulterior motives or an ancient god." Standing beside the Queen of the Blood Clan, looking at the queen who was unable to speak due to pain, Lu Ming said helplessly.

He had said long ago that the obsession with the Blood Child was a mistake, but unfortunately, this now pitiful queen did not listen, nor did her people. As a result, she is now in such a miserable state, and her people have turned into monsters one by one, no longer possessing their former noble appearance.

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the Queen of the Blood Clan turned her head with difficulty and glanced at him. Then, with great difficulty, she reached out her hand to Lu Ming, seemingly wanting him to save her.

But Lu Ming would not do that. He deeply hated this queen who, from the moment she arrived in Plu and the Kingdom of Miracaisa, brought trouble to him, the Kingdom of Miracaisa, and the whole world!

If she had listened to him back then, there would have been no father-daughter conflict between him and Kanina. And now, there would be no need to deal with Meg.

Therefore, the vampire queen's desire for him to save her is merely wishful thinking on her part. The only thing he will do is end the life of this queen who seems determined to die without ever stopping.

Raising his sword, Lu Ming, under the horrified gaze of the Blood Queen, plunged the chilling Irithyll Straight Sword into her forehead, channeling his magic to unleash a torrent of cold air that instantly froze the body of this queen who was single-mindedly determined to give birth to a blood child.

With a powerful swing of his straight sword, Lu Ming unleashed Irithyll's Straight Sword through the ice, shattering the Vampire Queen into countless fragments. These fragments, like shards of glass, scattered across the steps, appearing crimson under the rising blood moonlight.

Ignoring the vampire queen who had turned into shattered ice, Lu Ming led the woman in black robes and Bishop Amelia toward the palace where Mego was located.
