"Elena, stop now! You will die like this! Giving up the divine power of your clan is like giving up the elven bloodline!" Maya already understood Elena's thoughts and shouted desperately.
However, although Elena looked painful, she was unwilling to stop.
"Enough, enough, you have driven away the divine power of many clansmen! Stop! You are already over a hundred years old. If you become an ordinary person without elven blood, you will die soon!" Maya propped up her body and tried to move towards Elena.
Elves can maintain their youth and middle-aged forms for a long time, and only age rapidly at the last moment of their lives. And Elena's appearance is very similar to that of an elf before death.
Elena, who had become an old woman, said with drooping eyelids, "I will not feel at ease until it is thorough enough!"
She finally pulled the sword out of the wound, used it to prop up the ground, and slowly stood up. She had lost her physical strength, her eternal youth, but she had also lost her spiritual shackles and the fate of her clan.
When she stood up, she no longer looked like an elf, but she felt more noble and confident than any other elf.
She glanced at Evelin who was holding Xiao Chen's neck. The latter was so exhausted that she forgot to use force. Xiao Chen, who was about to be suffocated, took two deep breaths and finally recovered.
Her eyes fell on Di Ning again. Di Ning's eyes suddenly opened and he shook his head vigorously, revealing a painful expression. He groaned and covered his head with his hands.
Elena hunched her back and dragged the Thunderscar Sword forward with great effort. Although her body was old, she still had some strength that had not completely dissipated. She wanted to insert the sword into that hand before it completely disappeared.
Roger's sword seemed light in his hand, but it would be heavy even for an ordinary person, not to mention a 100-year-old woman. Therefore, Elaina walked very slowly, and anyone who came up could knock her down.
But Evelin held Xiao Chen's neck blankly, her eyes following her slowly, but she didn't move. Di Ning, who should have used magic to stop her, stood aside, his hands tightly clasped together, his two hands pinched each other fiercely, his fingertips scratched blood on the back of his hands. They seemed to belong to two different wills, competing in the same body, not letting himself release a magic to attack Elaina.
Elena finally reached the taproot and stood in front of the hand.
"Believe in me, follow me, and you will be favored." A voice said in her ear.
"I have given up that favor, and I feel much better." She raised her sword and chopped down at Bai Shou. The divine erosion potion on the sword seemed to sense its prey, and the red magic power burst out ostentatiously.
Although the white hand had no clear consciousness, a burst of white light burst out before the Thunder Sword hit it. Elaina stabbed the sword desperately, but she was bounced away by the white light.
She fell seven or eight meters away, her arm pushed against the ground, and a sharp pain came, and it was broken. However, she still struggled to crawl towards the source of the white light. When the white light gradually dissipated, the shadow of the hand where she had just swung the sword was gone. The Thunder Sword was stuck in the main root of the World Tree, and there was a trace of blood on the blade.
————————
As the hand of the gods disappeared from this space, the ever-present pressure also disappeared. Di Ning and Evelyn finally returned to their normal selves.
"Elena!" Maya ran towards Elena and tried to help her up.
But Elena waved her hand and said, "Go and draw your sword first. Don't let the God-Erosion Potion continue to harm the World Tree."
When Maya held the sword, she felt a tingling sensation spreading from her arm. She could even feel that the elven blood in her body was fading. She hurriedly threw the sword aside.
"When I saw the trace of blood on it, I actually felt very sad. Is this the connection between us and him?" She looked at Elena's wrinkled face and said, "It would be great if it didn't cost such a high price."
"I think it's fair." Elena sat on the ground, her eyebrows drooping, looking very listless. "Go and check on the others."
Xiao Chen was burned, Roger was seriously injured and unconscious, Elena was old and had a broken left arm, and the other three people's mental energy was greatly depleted, and their fighting effectiveness was greatly reduced.
After Maya checked Roger, she said, "I'll go find General Nord and ask him to send someone in to rescue them."
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Chen said, "Don't go!"
Xiao Chen recovered some strength and slowly walked towards the tree roots.
"Everyone, listen to me. Do you still remember that unknown saint and that unknown plan?" Xiao Chen said while leaning against a tree root. "We can't just go out like this. We must be prepared. You can use any healing and recovery potions you have. We will also use the regeneration potion to restore the damage to the World Tree."
"Xiao Chen!" Elena called him.
Xiao Chen squatted beside Elaina, listening to what she had to say. Elaina leaned against the tree roots, looked up at him and said, "My body has reached its limit. I'm afraid it can only last for an hour or two. But I should have enough mental strength to perform a group healing spell. This is a chance for me to realize my final value. Please don't refuse."
"Don't be like this, maybe your teacher still has a solution. We have other potions that can be used." Xiao Chen said.
"Solution? Maybe she can let me live a few more days, or even a few more months, but so what? I might always be lying in bed with a face like this, slowly waiting for my body to collapse. This is not what I want. Don't make things difficult for me." Elena said, shaking her head.
At this time, Di Ning and Maya also heard their conversation. Maya rushed over and held Elena's hand and said, "Elena, don't think that. I will go back to find the formulas of various magic potions and experiment. As long as the Saint can hold your life, I will definitely regain your youth for you."
"Don't be silly. Even magicians can only delay aging, no one can regain youth. I know now that I am like a person made of snow, standing under the sun. Every time I say a word, my body collapses a little." Elaina looked up at Di Ning, "Go and move Roger over. I have to cast a spell no matter what. Also, I have something to say to Master Xiao Chen alone."

More than ten minutes later, the light of group healing spread throughout the corner below the taproot. When the magic dissipated, everyone's condition had recovered a lot, even Roger woke up. But Elena sat there peacefully, her eyes closed, and she was no longer breathing...
