Evan looked at the crystal clear water of the pond and noticed something shining at its bottom.
‘Is there an artefact or something inside the pond?’ Evan thought and dropped a fire cacti shadow undead into the water to check if there is any other monster in the pond.
He used shadow senses, and after confirming there is no danger in the water he dove inside the pond.
The pond was just five meters deep and he arrived at its bottom easily.
When he arrived at the bottom of the pond he noticed a green coloured stone which was shining brightly.
Evan came before the stone and found it was releasing a very low amount of energy fluctuation.
The energy fluctuations were the same as the fluctuations that came from a dungeon portal, but it was very weak when compared to a dungeon portal.
Evan narrowed his eyes seeing the stone and something clicked into his mind.
Using shadow senses he told Aqua, Nekros and Eclipse to come at the bottom of the pond.
When they came down he summoned them back into his shadow storage.
Then he ordered his other shadow undead who were roaming the underground of the desert to kill any monster they found and bring their bodies near the pond.
After ordering them he looked at the green stone and touched it.
Woosh-!!
Just as Evan touched the stone a bright green light flashed and he disappeared from the place.
Evan felt his surroundings turning blurry, and the next second he found himself standing in a completely different place.
He immediately summoned back Aqua and others and looked around carefully.
“As I thought, that was the entrance of a runis” Evan muttered after seeing there was no monster near him.
Unlike the ruins of the frozen world dungeon, currently, he was standing at a place that looks like a forest, there were many lush trees around him while the ground was filled with fresh green grass. The sky was light blue and clouds were moving just like the outside world. The cool wind was flowing bringing the fresh smell of forest with it.
Evan turned around and saw a green portal behind him. At the same time, he noticed a giant tree not so far away from him.
The tree was around two hundred meters high and was the biggest tree that he can see there.
Evan first used shadow wings and flew up in the air to see if he can see find anything strange other than the giant tree.
But when he reached 200 meters high, the same height as the giant tree he noticed he can’t go up anymore.
It was like an invisible wall is blocking his way to fly up, and the blue sky is just an illusion that he can see but not touch.
Evan raised an eyebrow when he wasn’t able to fly up.
“Looks like this area is not as big as it looks” Evan muttered and looked around him not trying to go up anymore.
But after looking around he didn’t find anything odd other than the giant tree.
“Since there is nothing else, the monster and the treasure of the ruins should be near that tree,” he said and flew towards the tree.
But he landed around two hundred meters away from the tree and did not dare to go there directly.
He first wanted to see the situation near the tree before taking any decision.
After landing he slowly approached the tree with slow steps while looking around carefully.
He was walking in the middle while Nekros and others surrounded him.
When he was around one hundred metres away from the giant tree he was finally able to see everything near it clearly.
“What the_” but when he saw what was at the bottom of the tree his eyes nearly popped out from their sockets.
At the bottom of the tree, a slender figure of a woman with long pointy ears was sitting with her eyes closed.
She was wearing a long sleeveless red dress, her long, flowing golden silver hair cascading down her back, adorned with delicate silver and emerald hair ornaments, the strands of her hair seem to dance in the gentle breeze.
Her skin, as fair and smooth as moonlight, bears a faint luminescence, hinting at her otherworldly origin. A subtle radiance seems to emanate from her, casting a gentle glow that further accentuates her innate grace and beauty.
“Elf waifu” Evan’s past life otaku took over as he blurted out with a dazed look on his face.
But he quickly shook his head and returned back to his senses.
“What the hell is going on here” Evan still can’t believe he was seeing an elf sitting in front of him.
From what he read in the academy he knew elves don’t exist in Arora world. Not even in the dungeons, has anyone found one till now.
“Or maybe people saw them but did not make it public just like the facts about ruins” Evan muttered while arching his eyebrows.
Suddenly he noticed something floating some distance away from the elf.
When he focused, he saw they were two golden coloured fruits, the size of an apple.
“They must be reward for clearing the ruins” Evan said while looking back at the elf.
Even though the aura around the elf was B+ rank, Evan can feel a lethal threat from her.
“Can she talk?” Evan wondered thinking if she can talk like humans or not.
After pondering for a moment he decided to try something.
He summoned a fire cacti shadow undead from his shadow storage. The fire cacti looks like normal cactus, it was one meter tall and was filled with red spikes which were radiating heat. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
After summoning the cacti Evan commanded it to move towards the elf. He wanted to see her reaction upon seeing the fire cacti.
The cacti obeyed Evan’s command and moved towards the sitting elf without any hesitation.
When the fire cacti was just fifty meters away from the elf, Evan saw her amber colour eyes shoot open and she disappeared from her place.
Boooommm-!!
The next second he wasn’t even able to see what happened before a loud booming sound echoed out.
