Yu Ling now has all sorts of fighting methods, but she lacks any purification techniques. Her own blessing magic can withstand the corruption of dark elves, but other elves cannot!

"System, quickly send me the panel to check if the side quest is about protecting the elves from corruption?!"

【immediately! 】

The system immediately realized that this was clearly a trap set for its host! It decisively opened the semi-transparent system panel, switched to the side quests, and displayed it in front of Yu Ling.

It clearly states above: Side Quest: Before completing the main quest, ensure the Holy Tree of Spirits does not degenerate.

That means the dark elf's methods will ultimately corrupt and corrupt the elves and the sacred elven tree.

This is probably going to be bad!

Beside Yu Ling, there were already little sprites whose wings were beginning to be corrupted by darkness. They were even finding it difficult to maintain flight, and they kept saying to Yu Ling:

"Your Highness... I feel so bad..."

"Waaaaah, I don't want to become an ugly dark elf..."

Only a few special elves, like Yu Ling, possessed the power of blessing and remained uncorrupted, but their meager power was far from enough to save the entire elf kingdom.

Seeing the elves struggling to survive, the dark elf let out the typical villainous laugh, even flying high into the sky, standing face-to-face with Yu Ling only separated by a magical barrier, and mouthing the words:

"Elf Prince, do you want to save them? Come and beg me!"

The proud elves, the darlings of the world who looked down on everyone, the elven race that had never taken the dark elves seriously, are finally, finally becoming the very thing they themselves despise!

He was so incredibly happy!

Yu Ling was speechless at this protagonist who was even more villainous than the villain himself. What kind of era is this? Still using "You beg me" to humiliate the enemy? How shameful!

"Ugh! I'm so annoyed by these people who always bring up other people's weaknesses," Yu Ling complained to the system in her mind. "But this guy was so insignificant in the original owner's memories, how could he suddenly possess such power?"

[How about we buy a copy of the story guide? Maybe it contains a solution to this pollution problem. If this drags on any longer, our side quests might be finished.]

After being influenced by Yu Ling's extravagant spending habits, the system no longer regards survival points as money.

After thinking for a while, Yu Ling actually agreed with the system's suggestion.

It wasn't that he thought the plot would actually help, but the original owner's memories were completely devoid of common sense about this world, and were entirely inaccurate, making them utterly useless to him. He really needed the plot to educate him about the world.

Besides, he's really not short of money.

"I bought it."

Now that Yu Ling has spoken, the system immediately placed an order, presenting the novel featuring the Dark Elf as the protagonist in electronic form to Yu Ling through a semi-transparent system panel.

Yu Ling decisively ignored the arrogant and provocative dark elf and focused her attention on the semi-transparent system panel, reading it through quickly.

Afterwards, Yu Ling felt terrible. She felt like her eyes had been poisoned. What kind of protagonist is this? How could he be so miserable? This is too cruel!

"Do people actually read stories that harm the main character? Who are the readers?!"

The Dark Elf, the protagonist, is the first pure black elf in the world to be born from the Sacred Tree of Elves, caused by the negative emotions of some people who were dissatisfied with elves. He has no special abilities and is even worse than ordinary elves. He is only good-looking and has nothing else to offer. But no matter how good-looking he is, he is still pure black-skinned. How good can he be?

Logically speaking, some tragic stories are meant to make it more satisfying to retaliate later, so the protagonist goes through hardships and tribulations, or even has their family and companions sacrificed, but they will definitely get their revenge later.

However, the Dark Elf's life was purely for the sake of torture. His experiences were truly moving and heartbreaking, but readers from other dimensions had no way to donate gold coins.

The system and Yu Ling are bound together, so it can naturally see the newly purchased storyline. The system remains silent regarding Yu Ling's evaluation, because the host is right!

The dark elf Kaio is arguably the most tragic elf in history. Born amidst the disdain of other elves, and after being driven out, he lacked the magical talents of elves and was utterly powerless.

At that time, he had not yet awakened his dark magic talent. First, he was targeted by a wealthy man lusting after the beauty of an elf; even though she was dark-skinned, he was still... After a difficult escape, he was captured by a mercenary group, sold to a nobleman in a faraway human kingdom, and continued to be...

Keo endured countless hardships and torments, but the only thing that kept him from giving up on life was the desire to make all those who looked down on him suffer the same fate as him.

In his desperate situation, he awakened his innate magical talent—the power of corruption that could cause all things to wither.

While humbly currying favor with a more powerful being to get their help in punishing those who had bullied him, Keo was also hooking up with a being even more powerful than that being, creating a vicious cycle.

However, each act of revenge was pitiful; the wounds on his body never truly healed, and each time new wounds were added before the old ones had healed.

—Those powerful monsters love to torment noble elves.

As an outcast among the elves, what Kaio resented most was, of course, the original owner of this body, who was also an elf but received completely different treatment.

And so, he now wants all the elves that the original owner cared about most to be corrupted and degraded, turning them from the darlings of the world into beings that are hated.

In the end, both sides were summoned back under the corrupted Elf Tree and ultimately turned back into fruit, which can be said to be a true mutual destruction.

After reading about Keo's life, Yu Ling felt less disgusted with this dark elf who had poor facial expression control. He was in such a miserable state that she couldn't bring herself to hate him!

[Host, you're clearly doing this because...hehehehe...] The system mercilessly exposed them, [I noticed that you always turn the page very slowly when you see those risqué faces!]

"Ahem, stop interrupting!"

Even after reading this very exciting book, Yu Ling remained noble, elegant, calm and composed, not losing the status of the original owner, the elf prince.

He could sense that the corrupting power in the Elf Kingdom was spreading and getting closer to the sacred tree behind the palace, which was heavily protected.

When Yu Ling first discovered the contamination, she secretly used her own blessing magic to dispel the contamination from the elven guards first.

At this moment, he divided a portion of his power, transforming it into a pure white flower, and handed it to the nearest elven guard.
