Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253

Although Du You’s perceptual range was extensive, such a distance meant little to a fifth-tier master. Two elf elders made no effort to hide as they charged straightforwardly. By the time Du You noticed them, they were already right before him.

"You two fall back. Yucha, you stay and protect them." After Du You spoke, Lin Yucha quickly shifted to stand in front of Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao. These two could potentially be family in the future, so he couldn’t allow anything to happen to them.

As soon as Du You was up, he saw a male and a female elf appear, standing at the top of a large tree not far away.

"Humans, you actually dare to destroy such a vast part of the forest; your actions are unforgivable."

The female elf, even angrier, said, "How could there be so many skeletons? These are undead. After so many years, you have relit the dead ashes." The sight of these undead made them even more furious.

Although undead creatures only targeted living beings and would not randomly destroy the forest, the elves valued plants much more and did not care as much about other animals. However, the total annihilation of the animals would affect plant growth.

Most crucially, the undead aura would naturally corrode everything around it. Given enough time, it would inevitably destroy the surrounding forest. They were unaware of any particular traits of Du You’s undead; in the elves’ eyes, they were all the same.

"Is this what you wanted to say?" Du You looked curiously at the two elves as they incessantly prattled on.

When had these elves become such chatterboxes, or had it been a long while since they last spoke? The two elves kept bouncing off each other’s words, resembling performers in a stage play. If it weren’t for Du You being right there across them, it would have been embarrassing for him to interrupt.

It must be said, elves performing in dramas had a unique flair.

"Do you want to die? No, you must come back with us for judgment. Death is not enough to compensate for your crimes."

Kuris snorted coldly and suddenly drew his bow, shooting an arrow straight at Du You.

Unfortunately, a green arrow flying through the air was suddenly intercepted by a red arrow. The two lights intertwined in midair and finally vanished completely.

"So there was another, your strength is great, but in the forest, elves are invincible."

The two elves continued their soliloquy, Du You realized he probably wouldn’t get any information out of them. Elves here were incredibly haughty, simply looking down on other species, seemingly regarding humans as inferior beings.

Du You originally wanted to extract intelligence, so he had been patient. But seeing that these two weren’t willing to reveal anything, Du You simply decided not to keep them around. "Too bad, I don’t have the skills to interrogate enemies."

With a wave of his hand, Du You released a large array of Dark Flame Arrows, numerous black arrows flying towards the two elves. Seeing this, the elves’ expressions drastically changed. Emma swung her magic staff, wrapping herself in layers of green barriers, while the other continuously dodged, trying to intercept the arrows in the air with enhanced magic arrows.

Unfortunately, he could stop only a few, and soon resembled a hedgehog, later being burned to nothing. The other one fared slightly better, able to cast spells to resist for a while.

The arrows kept penetrating the magic barrier, eventually surrounding the female elf.

"You will not have a good end; our elf tribe will not let you go." From arrogance to malice, this instantaneous transformation was incredible; elves also had this side it seemed.

In most worlds, elves were synonymous with beauty, but in this world, they seemed somewhat peculiar. Anyway, they were all dead, so it didn’t matter much.

"These elves are too weak, and they dare say they are fifth-tier, the mightiest?"

Lin Yushi scoffed, and Du You could only spread his hands; after all, the upper limit in this world was fifth-tier, and not many could reach that, so overwhelming them with strength was easy. This world was usually quite peaceful, especially for elves who lacked combat experience, so it was normal.

"But their strength is too weak, even those below four stars wouldn’t be much worse."

A single normal Dark Flame Arrow Array instantly eradicated the two, and if there were more, perhaps more would have perished, no wonder Lin Yushi despised them. Normally, natives above fifth-tier were strong, but suddenly encountering such weak ones was disconcerting.

"It’s not that they are too weak, but that you are too strong. What level have you both reached?" At that moment, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue also came over, staring at them in astonishment.

Though these elves were limited by the world’s standards, making their star level not very high, the pressure was indeed real. Both could discern the strength of these fifth-tier masters, albeit not precisely.

Yet they knew that a typical fifth-tier master wouldn’t defeat them so easily. Not to mention, Du You’s tentative attacks could kill them instantly, purely because Du You was too strong.

Du You didn’t hide his capabilities: "It’s nothing much, I just reached level 50, and it might be a while before the next breakthrough." The two women looked at Du You, their faces a mixture of shock and something indiscernible.

Du You had just entered his fourth year, and even before the school year started, he had reached the peak of fifth-tier. It seemed that the academy’s first sixth-tier student would arise here. Reflecting on Du You’s rapid growth was truly terrifying. And seeing Du You’s demeanor, he was confident that he could break through to the sixth-tier.

"Too formidable, really impressive. Is it really okay for your progress to be this fast?" Check latest chapters at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Don’t worry, there’s no problem at all. Every upgrade fully adapts to the power before continuing to level up, and my skills are also fine. I just need to wait a while because the power hasn’t completely settled yet."

Alright, Du You was very aware of his situation, knowing exactly what he should do. The two could rest assured about the basics, but this speed was it even humanly possible? Even the strongest who ascended to the sixth-tier needed decades. How old was Du You, not even twenty years old yet?

But then again, this was exactly the type of person they had set their sights on, their judgment was indeed excellent. The two exchanged glances, both able to see the shock and pride in each other’s eyes. Letting go of such a person would truly be life’s greatest loss.
