Starborn Apotheosis: When Demon-Elf Hybrid Unlocks the Primal Codex

Farewell

Little Eldrin slept for seven whole days and opened his eyes when the sun shone into his bedroom on the seventh day. The first thing he did when he woke up was to rush out of his bedroom and look all over the building for his mother. When he saw his mother in the cave, Eldrin immediately pounced on her, yelling, "Mom, guess what I found in the temple of the Moon Goddess?"

Irani turned to Eldrin, stroked his head, and asked, "Let mommy guess, my Eldrin always wanted to be a wizard, so you must have gotten the 'Elemental Affinity', right?"

Eldrin suddenly froze, for it was a woman he had never seen before. He had his own method of recognition, though, and inhaled hard, catching the unmistakable scent of familiarity and affection, and asked hesitantly, "Are you ...... Mom?"

"My Eldrin, this is what mommy should look like. Does Mommy look good?" Irani asked with a smile.

Little Eldrin nodded vigorously and said, "Mommy looks the best!" In his mind, Mommy was already the most beautiful woman. What's more, now that Eldrin had regained her original appearance? The beauty and good looks of the Silvermoon Elves were as famous as their divine magic.

A boy's patience is always limited, and a teenager's patience doesn't grow much, so little Eldrin didn't wait for two more guesses from Irani before he rushed out: "Mommy, I have wisdom and truth!"

"Really?" Irani was surprised, wisdom was something she knew about, but she had never heard of such an ability as Real existing in Enlightenment.

Little Eldrin frowned and struggled to explain with his newly gained increased intelligence, "Real is ...... well, the ability to understand the world more clearly. It seems to be upgradeable, it's not very useful right now, it just lets me see farther and hear better".

Elanee hmmm'd and grabbed Eldrin by the shoulders, giving him detailed instructions to cherish the abilities he had gained from Enlightenment, and also to remember the teachings she had given him. Her instructions were so detailed that she got a little wordy, took over an hour to finish, and rehashed so many things over and over again that little Eldrin secretly made faces in protest. Little Eldrin was already very smart, with an excellent memory and enhanced intelligence, and didn't need to be told anything twice.

Elanee finally realized that she was being too long-winded, too, and smiled and asked, "My Eldrin, would you like to meet your father?"

Eldrin frowned and tried to think, but couldn't come up with an answer. Before he could think clearly, Elanee said, "You'll see Dad soon, the people he sent should be arriving soon and they'll take you to him. You need to be a good boy on the way, remember?"

"Huh?" It was such unexpected news that Eldrin didn't even know how to react and just nodded confusedly before he remembered something and asked, "What about Mom, is she coming?"

"No, Mom is not coming."

"Then I'm not going either!" Eldrin said absolutely.

Elani laughed and said, "My Eldrin will be there because Mommy has another wish she needs you to help fulfill!"

Eldrin straightened his chest, "Don't worry, Mom! I'm old enough to do it! Oh, and what's the wish?"

Irani looked deep into Eldrin's eyes and said slowly, "When my Eldrin grows up to be a really big man, bury Mommy in Daddy's family cemetery, in the highest plot!"

Little Eldrin nodded vigorously. At this point, he didn't understand the true meaning of the wish and how hard it would be to fulfill. But even if he knew, he would not back down. A mountain boy never lacks courage.

Early mornings in Rutherland Village were always quiet and serene, but this morning's tranquility was shattered. First, the ground throughout the village began to vibrate inexplicably, and then the vibrations turned into violent tremors. This time, even the slowest old man sensed that something was wrong, so he stepped out of his house and looked toward the end of the road outside the village.

The wind in the mountains was still a bit cold, and when it blew, even the bravest and strongest hunters shivered involuntarily. It wasn't that they felt the low temperature, but rather an unstoppable chill that flooded their hearts, as if some irresistible catastrophe was about to happen. The earth was still shaking, and all the people in Rutherland Village came out of their houses and stood silently in the open space at the entrance to the village. From here they could see the smoke and dust rising in the distance. In the forest, there were still ancient trees that fell with a roar from time to time, and the flocks of birds in the forest had long since flown high, not even daring to stay in their nests, flying directly toward the deep mountains.

A demonic, heavily armored knight rushed out of the forest!

The deep black body armor erected up to more than ten steel spikes, chest is carved out of the hideous horror of the devil's head, and the crotch of the war horse is very robust, than the mountain people have seen the king of the wild horse is also half a meter taller, the horse is covered with a heavy horse armor, above the protruding sharp steel spikes show that it is not only as a defensive use. On the back left side of the horse, a huge two-handed sword was hanging, in the style of a common zanmazen, but the unusual thing was that it was a whole meter longer than a normal zanmazen, and it was even thicker and heavier. The weight of this weapon was at least over a hundred kilograms, and the power it wielded was almost irresistible.

The gravel road groaned under the iron hooves of the war horses. Wherever the iron hooves of the warhorses passed, debris flew and dirt splattered, leaving a deep crater that exposed the muddy ground beneath the base. Behind the knights, there was another group of twenty heavily armored cavalry, and then nearly a hundred light cavalry. But even the light cavalry were clad in well-made full-body lock armor, and more than half of the cavalry were equipped with magical longbows with flickering light patterns, so they were extremely well-equipped. Such an army was enough to capture Baron Tucker's castle, but at the moment, it was charging at full speed toward the small village of Rutherland!

Everyone, including the village leader, turned pale. The hunters are brave, but even the bravest hunters know that they cannot resist these knights armed to the teeth. The village chief even saw unusual signs from the exceptionally large war horse of the lead knight. His past military experience told him that only Constructed Knights would have such a tall warhorse!

The heavily armored knight charged into the Rutherland village, and with a hard chokehold on his horse, the huge warhorse stood up, its front hooves falling heavily, leaving two shallow craters on the ground. As the horse braked to a halt, the hot breath from its nose had shot into the village chief's chest. The knight lifted his helmet, revealing a determined, majestic face. He looked coldly at the villagers in the square and asked, "Does anyone know where Irani lives?

The villagers looked at each other in disbelief; there was no woman named Irani in the village of Rutherland. The blacksmith and the village leader remembered something, but said nothing. The knight's face grew even more somber, and he was about to speak when the door of the nearby apothecary's shop suddenly opened and Irani walked out, asking weakly, "Did Gordon send you here?

The knight stared at Irani, his face suddenly changed, he jumped violently from his warhorse and landed in front of Irani like a flying mountain of iron, knelt down on one knee, took off his helmet, revealing his entire face, half bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "I am Mordred, a knight of Lord Gorton's seat, and I have come to fetch the lady back by His Lordship's order!"

Mordred had short, dark red hair like steel needles, and although he bowed his head and knelt before Irani, his aura was inexorably released, and the entire magical apothecary shop trembled gently under his majesty. It was as if there was a volcano inside his huge body, ready to erupt at any moment.

Irani's dress fluttered as well, but she didn't step back, she stood calmly in the air currents, nodded her head and said, "With you here, I'm relieved.

Mordred grinned and said, "Thank you, ma'am, for the compliment."

Elani pulled Eldrin behind her and put his little hand in Mordred's and said, "He's the one Gordon wants most. His name is Eldrin ......" There was a pause before Elanee said, "......Eldrin .Malificus."

Mordred took a long look at little Eldrin before closing his hand and gently shaking it over Eldrin's little hand, smiling, "Mordred is at your service!"

The knight looked up at Elanee again and said, "Your things are packed, my honorable lady, are they not, so let us leave now. Lord Gordon must be eager to see you!"

"I have something very important to pick up, so give me a moment." With that, Irani went into the potion shop and closed the door.

Meanwhile, little Eldrin was looking at Mordred, and the bloodthirsty, lion-like knight was looking at him, and they both looked at each other with small, wide eyes, and after a while, Mordred grinned again, not at all sure what for.

But his smile suddenly froze!

Without warning, flames erupted from every window of the potion shop, and even more, they burst through the roof, spewing flames up to ten meters high! The flames were so violent and sudden that even Mordred didn't notice them!

The knight let out a roar of rage, and with a single padded step, he had crashed into the apothecary's shop in a single bound, the lapis lazuli walls in front of him no different from milk cheese, and the roaring flames couldn't do the slightest damage to him. As he rushed into the apothecary's shop, he happened to see Irani sitting gracefully as flames shot from every part of her body, burning everything in the room! Mordred was stunned, he wanted to get Irani out of there, but he didn't realize that all the fire was coming out of her, and she was just burning herself!

Seeing Mordred rushing into the flames, Irani smiled at him for a moment before she completely turned into flames, burning, rising, and never leaving a trace in this world again.

Mordred stood in silence, letting the fire lick his body. Elanee's last smile was etched in his mind, a smile so beautiful, so elegant, and so complex.

Little Eldrin screamed desperately, kicking and punching at the heavy knight holding him, trying to rush into the fire. But all his efforts were in vain, and the flames were immensely fierce, and in a flash the whole apothecary shop came crashing down!

Mordred climbed out of the rubble and looked at little Eldrin, who was crying hysterically, and was silent for a moment before saying, "You have a good mother. Come, I'll take you to your father."

The sudden change also stunned the villagers of Rutherland Village, who stared blankly at the ruins where the flames had died down and only wisps of smoke remained, unable to believe that just a few minutes ago it had been the pharmacy that had been their companion for ten years.

The heavy cavalry formed a line and slowly left the village of Rutherland with Eldrin in tow. Mordred and the light cavalry stayed behind, and he had no thoughts of burying Eldrin, for she had completely turned into a flame. Only pure and mad geniuses could burn themselves out completely, so Mordred was full of respect for this woman he had only met once.

As he gazed at the ruins, the corners of Mordred's mouth rose imperceptibly, and in a voice so low that only he could hear it, he said, "Now that's a woman to match your lordship!"

At that moment, a knight with his horse came to Mordred's side and asked for advice, "My lord, what of the people in this village?"

Mordred looked at the men, women, and children gathered in the square, stroked the beard on his upper lip that was as stiff as iron, and said lightly, "There are quite a few grown men, ah, and His Lordship would not want any men living here. So kill them all!"
