The Swamp Dragon is a top-tier monster at level 85.
Although it has no wings, the swamp dragon still inspires fear in all the surrounding races.
Among these races was the Dark Elf race, which was considered powerful at the time.
In a joint operation against the Swamp Dragon, the Dark Elves joined forces with other races to launch an attack.
Unfortunately, the allied forces were slaughtered in an instant when faced with the overwhelming power of the swamp dragon.
From then on, the swamp dragon ruled the area.
Every year, the surrounding tribes offer gifts to the swamp dragon.
The gifts here are, of course, blood offerings, which are people from various tribes.
Based on the swamp dragon's brutal power, the first hero, the elven knight Rommel, vowed to slay it from a young age.
It knew that there was no chance of slaying a dragon among the dark elves.
Therefore, it left the tribe at a young age to wander and seek opportunities.
After a century of searching and adventure, and countless life-or-death crises, Rommel finally encountered an opportunity to slay the dragon.
In a dimensional cave, it found the true meaning of the elven knight.
At the same time, he also encountered his mythical mount, the Unicorn Elf Horse, which would accompany him throughout his life.
Inside the cave, Rommel diligently practiced his skills.
At the age of 235, Rommel returned from his studies and fought a giant dragon in the Terrifying Swamp.
That battle lasted for seven days and seven nights, causing the terrifying swamp to completely collapse.
The earth-shattering battle also caused panic among the surrounding tribes.
To the astonishment of the tribes, Rommel slew the swamp dragon.
The swamp dragon's three-hundred-year reign came to an end.
At this time, Rommel, who slew the dragon, was only 235 years old.
This age is equivalent to 27 years old in human years, which is the prime of life.
Rommel received a warm welcome upon returning to the Dark Elf race.
Under its leadership, the Dark Elves became the most powerful tribe in the surrounding area.
At the same time, the Dark Elves replaced the Swamp Dragons and began accepting offerings from the surrounding tribes.
He who slays dragons will become a dragon.
Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance.
Under Rommel's influence, the Dark Elves became increasingly rampant and domineering.
They became extreme and brutal in their treatment of other tribes.
Unable to bear it any longer, the other tribes united and used a massive amount of blood and souls to communicate with the Lord of Death, thus casting a curse upon Rommel.
The cursed Rommel finally succumbed to the curse at the age of 387, his body withering away and he died.
The mythical unicorn horse, whose life was intertwined with Rommel's, also could not resist the threat of the curse and died along with him.
After Rommel's death, the Dark Elves declined further.
However, the people still regarded Rommel as their greatest hero and buried him in the Hero's Tomb.
Although to other tribes, Rommel was the embodiment of evil and a cruel tyrant.
But for the Dark Elves, Rommel's achievements were great.
That's why Delina was so talkative when she was about to face Rommel.
After all, in Delina's eyes, Rommel was like a legend in the tribe.
If we could give them a proper send-off, that would be wonderful.
After hearing the story, everyone fell into deep thought.
According to Delina, the legendary hero Rommel, who is 235 years old, can kill a level 85 swamp dragon.
You should know that anything related to dragons is definitely much stronger than anything of the same level.
Not to mention monsters like the Swamp Dragon, which are explicitly labeled as dragons.
Rommel died at the age of 387.
At this point, what level of strength and power has it reached?
The most outrageous thing is that Rommel, with his level of strength, could actually be killed by some Death Overlord's curse?!
So what level of Death Lord would this one who cursed Rommel to death be?
With doubts in his mind, Ye Gubai asked Delina a question.
But even Delina couldn't explain this question.
Delina had no contact with the being that was the Lord of Death, so naturally she had no understanding of it.
All Delina knew was that the Lord of Death was not a monster in the traditional sense.
The term "Death Ruler" is simply what they call it in that particular region.
Some tribes actually call the ruler of death the God of Death, or some other kind of demon god.
But regardless, the Lord of Death is a god who governs life and death.
If provoked, even a legendary hero like Rommel would perish.
Hearing this, Ye Gubai took a deep breath.
The current challenge is still Rommel.
As for the so-called Death Ruler, it was far beyond the scope of Ye Gubai and the others at this time.
Having the title of Overlord, he was clearly not an enemy he could even consider.
Those beings, perhaps they are all gods beyond the level of a hundred?
"Let's go, don't think about these things anymore," Ye Gubai said.
The group nodded and continued walking deeper into the area.
Before long, everyone witnessed the legend of the Dark Elf race.
First Hero: Elf Knight Rommel!
At this time, Rommel's appearance had changed entirely due to being resurrected by dark and evil demonic energy.
Rommel still retains the golden hair unique to the Dark Elves.
But Rommel's skin had turned completely black.
Not only it, but even its mythical mount, the unicorn elf horse, had its once pristine white skin turned black.
It's important to understand that the mounts mentioned here are different from those used by humans.
The unicorn horse here is a separate type of monster.
Actually, it doesn't belong to the category of mounts.
It's more like a unique combination that connects Rommel and merges two individuals into one.
In this combination, they became what is known as the Elf Knight.
This is commonly known as 1+1>2!
At this moment, the elven horse, clad in armor, was raising its head and staring at Ye Gubai.
As for Rommel on its back, he was not only wearing armor, but also holding a long-handled greatsword.
The length of the hilt is the same as the length of the blade, making the sword look more like a halberd.
The halberd's overall design is a mix of black and gold, matching the color scheme of the armor.
At the end of the halberd's handle is a glittering emerald.
As for the function of emeralds, they are probably just decorative and have no special effects.
Upon discovering the arrival of the group, Rommel did not rush to attack.
Instead, he silently observed the crowd, as composed as a general or leader.
"Your Excellency Rommel, I am Delina, the Dark Priestess of the Dark Elf race." Delina stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Even though she was also one of the heroes, Delina still held this legendary hero of the Dark Elf race in the highest esteem.
"Delina? It seems she is my reincarnation after my death."
Rommel showed no hostility at this moment, and even smiled faintly after hearing Delina's words.
Judging from Rommel's appearance, it seems that his mind has not been affected by the darkness at all.
