Chapter Thirty: Obsessive Fans

Three minutes passed quickly.

Jetley said to Xiao Ke, "Go back to your tribe and inform the esteemed chieftain that the elven tribe is about to set sail, so that the people can be prepared."

Xiao Ke nodded: "Okay."

With a "whoosh," Xiao Ke twisted and leaped, shooting out like a mine.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

"Everyone keep a close eye on them, don't let a single elf escape. This is the treasure of the great dragon, we must protect it well," Jetley instructed the other members of his tribe.

Many years ago, the Elven tribes launched a cunning, dispersed campaign. They built numerous small boats and set sail from all directions, covering the entire area by water.

At that time, the merfolk were in a complete mess.

Some lucky elves even managed to break through their defenses and escape to the opposite shore.

That infuriated the merman elders at the time.

From then on, the merfolk took this as a warning and never gave the elven tribes a chance to escape through trickery and schemes.

That's why Jetley and his fellow "Fishman Scouts" exist. In fact, there are also Fishman Scouts stationed in other locations.

...

Before I knew it, it was dark.

Loya finished engraving the inscription.

"It's almost done."

Loya shook his body with satisfaction; the numerous runes on his body greatly enhanced his sense of security.

However, he then felt it wasn't enough.

"Right now, I should be able to barely handle those below the level of a Grandmaster. But against someone stronger, there's absolutely no chance."

"Although the elven tribe and I are both insignificant people, we shouldn't attract the attention of a master-level figure."

"But no plan can keep up with changes."

"I must prepare an ultimate trump card, just in case."

Loya has become cautious now.

He began to ponder, searching for the "ultimate trump card" from his memories of his past life.

Ten seconds passed quickly.

Loya clenched his little paws and muttered to himself, "I have quite a few trump cards that I created myself in my past life. However, with my current physical condition, using them would definitely come at a heavy price, even death."

"However, by preparing in advance and taking precautions, the heavy price that some of my trump cards require can be reduced, so that I won't die immediately after using them."

"Oh no, my requirements shouldn't be this low."

"I should try my best to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness after using it."

Loya nodded vigorously: "So, it's you [Forbidden Technique: Fission Core Dragon Fist]."

Loya gave a meaningful chuckle, then left his room to look for Vina outside.

"Mr. Loya, what can I do for you?" Vina was somewhat surprised, wondering why Loya wanted to see her at this time. She felt that everyone should focus on recovering their strength and increasing their power to survive the rest of the journey.

Upon hearing this, Loya seemed to realize something, and he said casually, "Before I say anything, I have to apologize to you."

Vina was taken aback: "Why? Have you done something to wrong us?"

She began to feel uneasy. If Loya had any bad intentions, he could definitely throw the current elven tribes into chaos, or even cause them to suffer a miserable defeat.

Loya shook his head, then nodded.

This made Vina even more uneasy. She even felt her magic surge, wanting to unleash its power and kill Loya.

Loya explained, "Actually, my name isn't Loya."

Vina was dumbfounded: "This is what you're talking about?"

Loya: "Yes."

"Phew." Vina exhaled, her previous unease and magic returning to normal. She rolled her eyes at Loya. "You really scared me."

It has to be said that the female general, who was originally so heroic and valiant, suddenly adopted such a feminine demeanor, and she was truly stunningly beautiful.

If Loya hadn't been so knowledgeable, he might have been completely stunned.

There's no way around it, elves are all incredibly handsome men and beautiful women.

Vina was one of the best among them. If she were in his first life, she would be absolutely stunning and would be pursued by countless men and women.

Loya coughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Seeing that Loya was so nice, Vina felt a little embarrassed: "It's okay. Actually, hiding your real name is not a big deal at all. We won't mind, and you don't need to feel guilty."

Loya felt no remorse. He smiled and said, "Yes. My real name is actually Lolo Loya. Loya is the name of a legendary demigod wizard. He is my idol, and I want to become a strong person like him all my life. So, sometimes, I unconsciously imitate him."

Vina, a nobody, had never heard of the demigod wizard Loya; their place was too isolated. However, seeing Loya like this, she couldn't help but feel a bit moved, finding Loya's dedication to his idol awe-inspiring.

However, fans who can be this devoted deserve our respect.

"Yes, I wish you all the best in achieving your goal and becoming such a powerful demigod," Vina said sincerely.

Loya was moved: "Thank you for your recognition. To be honest, everyone thinks my ambition is unrealistic and that someone as useless as me can't possibly succeed. After all, someone like me, a piece of trash in my twenties who is still a bronze-level superhuman, really can't compare to a demigod."

Vina's expression gradually stiffened, becoming unnatural.

To be honest, she wasn't very interested in Loya's idol worship, and she didn't want to listen anymore; it was a real waste of her time.

Koloa had no choice; he was filling a gap and building up his persona. However, Koloa was also perceptive; he could tell Vina didn't want to listen anymore. He considerately changed the subject: "Let's get back to the point..."

Vina breathed a sigh of relief as it was finally over.

"I came here this time to ask for more sap from the Tree of Life," Loya revealed his true purpose.

In his view, since forbidden techniques are deadly, he should do everything he can to preserve his life and strengthen his own life force.

Now, the [Elementary Wizard Inscription: Heal] perfectly meets the requirements.

Therefore, he plans to add as many [Primary Inscription: Healing] to himself as possible.

"When I have the means in the future, I'll burn intermediate and even advanced levels of [Healing]," Loya thought to himself. "That way, the cost will definitely be less."

As for completely eliminating the side effects of forbidden techniques, that's practically impossible.

Legend has it that the forbidden technique is shrouded in a strange curse, and anything that comes into contact with it will be corrupted by the curse.

Those who learn forbidden arts will suffer from a more severe and deadly curse.

Furthermore, as one's strength increases, the side effects and curses of forbidden techniques will gradually increase exponentially. In short, forbidden techniques are extremely powerful and deadly, and are taboo subjects that no normal superhuman dares to touch.
