The Emperor of Humanity was flying at tremendous speed, chasing the mysterious figure who was rapidly moving away from him on the back of the six-winged winged horse.
He was determined to catch up with her.
But he was extremely surprised when he saw the mysterious figure stop running away on her own.
So the Emperor also stopped moving, remaining a little distance away from her.
He looked around in confusion.
He sensed the presence of another person in the area.
Then a new figure appeared before him.
This person was riding a winged horse, but it had only two wings.
The Emperor raised his gaze slightly, then looked at the sky above him.
And there...
He saw the person he had been searching for. She had not fled, but had remained in place without moving.
The mysterious figure was still on the six-winged horse, looking coldly at the Emperor.
The Emperor's expression became more serious, then he said:
"I've caught you, you fleeing bastard. You won't be able to escape!"
But...
He did not attack.
The Emperor stopped where he was because something strange had caught his attention.
The person who was in front of him, riding the two-winged winged horse, was holding a golden sword and pointing it at him.
The Emperor continued to look at him for a few moments.
There was a strange aura surrounding him.
The Emperor felt that the aura was familiar to him, but he could not determine its source.
Then he said to himself:
"Who is this person?"
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"Why do I feel such a strange sense of familiarity from him?"
He did not understand the reason for this feeling.
For he did not remember ever having encountered this person, whose face was covered, before.
Nevertheless...
There was something about his aura that made him feel that they were somehow connected.
At the same time...
The mysterious figure was watching the scene from afar while remaining on Odin's horse, and she did not move.
It was clear that the appearance of that new figure had completely changed the situation.
As for the Emperor...
He continued to stare at him cautiously, trying to understand who that new figure was.
Elsewhere, far from the sky where the chase was taking place...
In the continent of Mira, specifically inside the underground Dark Elf Kingdom...
The situation was completely different.
And in the palace located in the middle of the city...
The black deer had suddenly awakened.
He opened his eyes, then looked around.
He felt that there was something unusual in the city.
After a few moments of concentration...
He said to himself:
"Some small insects have infiltrated the city."
He could sense the presence of strangers who had entered the city in disguise.
He did not yet know who they were or what they wanted, but he was not prepared to ignore the matter.
Then he looked at the seed that was near him.
He contemplated it for a few moments.
And then...
He realized that this seed had become the most important thing he had.
Because after the ritual they would perform later...
The seed would carry the energy of the Dark Elves.
And then...
No one else would be able to use it.
He said to himself:
"The seed is the most important thing now."
Then he continued while looking at it:
"After the ritual we perform, the seed will become a carrier of the Dark Elves' energy, and no one other than them will be able to use it."
But he could not ignore the presence of the intruders in the city.
He did not want to let them move freely, especially since the seed was about to undergo the ritual that would make it carry the energy of the Dark Elves.
Therefore...
He gave an order to the guards present in the area.
"Inform the Dark Elf Saintess that someone has infiltrated the city."
Then he added:
"Check the situation in the city, and greatly increase the number of guards."
The guards immediately moved to carry out his orders.
They began monitoring the city, inspecting the different areas, and making sure there was no threat.
As for the black deer ...
He remained beside the seed.
He knew that what was happening in the city was not a coincidence.
And he had to make sure that the seed was protected no matter what.
