On the southern road of the Elf Main City, twelve Moonshadow Leopards galloped forward like lightning, tracking Albert’s scent. Fiona rode a Dragon Hawk leading a group of Dragon Hawk Knights in the sky, searching for the escapee Albert. Twelve Dragon Hawks lined up in a "V" formation, sweeping across the sky. Among them, one flying unit stood out—a Mechanical Tiger with wings. Lu Heng and Su Muyu rode the Mechanical Tiger together, the Qingluan Divine Bird had already flown ten kilometers ahead for reconnaissance. The entire team raced through the sky, under the fully-covered reconnaissance skills, not missing even a single blade of grass on the ground. "I never thought it would be Albert." Thinking of Albert’s appearance, Fiona felt a bit sad, because this young Elf Guard had a promising future and could have been transferred to the Queen’s Guard in a few years. For this pursuit, Kolos’s most skilled tracking Dragon Hawk Knights and Moonshadow Leopards had been dispatched. So, after tracking five hundred kilometers south, they finally intercepted Albert in front of the Twilight Mountain Range. Albert was a young Elf Guard with high combat power, riding a Dark Night Saber-Tooth, and was about to rush into the Twilight Mountain Range, but was stopped at the mountain pass. Fiona dove down on her Dragon Hawk, blocking his way, and shouted angrily, "Albert, where do you think you’re going?" "Get out of the way! I don’t want to fight you." Albert raised a black and red blood-colored scythe, issuing a threat. "You could bring harm to Old Hall; what else are you afraid to do?" Fiona was extremely furious; the thing she couldn’t tolerate the most was internal strife among her kin. "I begged him, I asked him to keep my secret, but he refused. It was his choice!" Albert’s words were essentially an admission. Initially, after he used his class ability to kill Old Hall, he thought this method wouldn’t be detected. Initially, everything indeed went as he expected. When the Elf Guard found Old Hall, everyone thought he died of natural causes and held a natural ceremony to return him to nature. Everything was going smoothly until that point. However, just a few hours earlier, Fiona suddenly ordered to question each Elf Guard who was on patrol that night. He sensed something was wrong and immediately left the city, planning to enter the Twilight Mountain Range to hide. As long as he entered the Twilight Mountain Range, he would be completely safe. He just didn’t expect the pursuit team to arrive so quickly; he was intercepted as soon as he reached the mountain pass. Fiona was filled with rage but kept her cool, knowing what mattered most, drew her Elf Sword, and shouted, "Where have you hidden the statue of the Anti-Demon Alliance Commander? Hand it over!" Albert snorted coldly, waved his blood-colored scythe, preparing to force his way through. Fiona brandished her sword and engaged him in combat, their weapons clashing with intense explosions. The Mechanical Tiger swept down from the sky, Lu Heng dropping down and drawing his sword to help. Albert let out a long howl towards the direction of the Twilight Mountain Range, and moments later, a roar that shook the earth and sky echoed from the mountains. With the roar’s appearance, everyone present felt a powerful pressure, a tingling sensation creeping across their skin. Lu Heng frowned upon hearing the roar. Because this roar was one he had heard before—it was unmistakably the roar of a Frost Bone Dragon. This Bone Dragon, in life, was one of the most powerful creatures on the Queldorei Continent, and even in death, transformed into a Bone Dragon, it remained terrifyingly powerful. Everyone instinctively turned towards the direction of the dragon’s roar, seeing a chill wind approaching, followed by a Frost Bone Dragon soaring over the mountain, swooping down. The Frost Bone Dragon flew to the mouth of the mountain pass and spewed forth its Frost Breath. The rolling frost descended like a polar storm from the sky, instantly covering a ten-kilometer radius, turning the entire land into a frozen tundra. "Get out of the way!" Fiona shouted urgently. The Dragon Hawk Knights in the sky originally wanted to turn around and retreat, but it was too late; the foremost few were engulfed by the frost, frozen instantly into ice sculptures, plummeting from the sky. The remaining elves brandished their weapons, deploying various defense skills to withstand the frost while seeking cover to avoid the direct attack of the Frost Breath. Fiona also had to raise her hand to open an Energy Shield to block the Frost Breath. Albert took the opportunity to slip past Fiona, dashing into the mountains. Lu Heng drew his sword and used Void Flash, traversing the Frost Breath, and blocked Albert’s path: "Whatever you say today, I can’t let you leave; there are things you need to explain." In truth, upon seeing Albert, Lu Heng had already confirmed one thing. This defecting Elf Guard was the "Death God’s Deputy," for he had seen the blood-colored scythe Alberts held once before. This blood-colored scythe, in the past life, was held by Ke Yiming, and now it’s in Albert’s hands. Moreover, the shape of this blood-colored scythe was very similar to the Death God Scythe. From this, it could be concluded that this blood-colored scythe was the symbol of the "Death God’s Deputy." Albert, upon seeing Lu Heng’s appearance, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, and he coldly said, "Since you came, I’ll just take your life." Saying this, he raised the blood-colored scythe, focusing a deep energy, gathering it on the scythe, then suddenly throwing it out, slicing towards Lu Heng. Lu Heng stepped on Gale, running to the side, trying to evade the blood-colored scythe’s attack using speed. However, after the blood-colored scythe flew out, it curved, and no matter how Lu Heng dodged, the scythe followed, drawing ever closer. Evidently, it had already locked onto its target. Seeing this, Lu Heng immediately spun around, swinging a sword, trying to chop down the blood-colored scythe.
