Mage Legend-Chapter 339 - 23 episodes Out of Control_2

In stark contrast to Lynch’s Eye of Insight, the eyes of the elf woman before him were entirely milky white, as if they had no pupils from birth, more like those who have lost their sight due to old age or illness. Yet, from her expression, no one would think that this elf couldn’t see. No matter where one stood in front of her, it felt as if her gaze fell upon you—perhaps an illusion, or perhaps a figment of the imagination born from the audience’s subconscious desire to attract her attention. Though one couldn’t read the thoughts of the elf woman from her gaze, it was this incomplete mystery that added to her allure. Everyone’s heart would harbor different thoughts, making her the perfect embodiment in anyone’s eyes.

However, those eyes of hers were not Lynch’s eyes; they didn’t possess the ability to see through Invisibility. Standing face to face with the mage, this elf also hadn’t noticed Lynch’s actions. But the mage was already stunned by the scene before him, though he had seen many wonders, he couldn’t imagine beauty reaching such a degree.

"If there is a goddess of charm, it must look like this," Lynch thought to himself.

The elf’s eyes suddenly flashed with red light, initially very faint, and could extinguish at any moment, but before long, it turned into an Elf Language symbol that appeared in her pupil. Lynch stared at this strange transformation, his mind nearly blank. The character expressed the shortest word in the Elf Language, "I." The mage had never heard of such a situation, even in the sea of books of the Mage Association, there was no record of such a phenomenon.

The elf woman stood still for a while longer, letting the heavy rain pour freely over her marble-like body. Lynch couldn’t help but want to wave his hand, letting his Power Wall Technique shield her from the rain overhead, yet he witnessed an even more unbelievable scene.

A breeze blew by, and the elf woman disappeared as if she’d never been in Residual Star Swamp. Like a mirage in the desert, always vanishing when approached by wanderers; or like a ghost regaining eternal peace, instantly blown away by the wind. She just vanished without warning before Lynch, leaving the mage completely unprepared.

There was no magical fluctuation, nor could it be the effect of Illusion Technique. Lynch felt that his Eye of Insight’s capabilities would not be interfered with. It’s rare to encounter someone in the world like the Elf Queen, it was impossible for an unknown entity to suddenly appear and interfere with the Eye of Insight’s abilities.

Moreover, even the Elf Queen could not perform such a disappearing act.

Lynch snapped back to reality, starting to rationally consider the situation at hand. He wasn’t worried about how the female elf left, but instead pondered whether this elf, who had never appeared in the Elf Kingdom, was friend or foe. What was her purpose in appearing in such a sensitive area?

Thinking of this, the mage wasted no time and flew back to Heather’s residence. As soon as he left Residual Star Swamp, the torrential rain stopped entirely, with the grass unexpectedly becoming refreshing, without any trace of rain’s havoc. Due to not being able to use Flying Magic on Holy Mountain’s peak, he could only hasten his steps towards the Empress’s residence, hoping to gather enough information from there.

"Mage sir!" The elf Caidi was waiting for Lynch’s return. Although the mage appeared hurried, he still called out to him: "The Empress has said that movement of undead armies has been detected on the border. The battle has begun just as you anticipated."

"What?" Lynch shook his head. It should be ten days until the night of the three dark moons, why didn’t they act then: "Has the Elf Queen entered the Prayer Temple?"

"Yes, Mage sir," Caidi said, "I’ve waited five days for you; if I still couldn’t see you, I would’ve headed straight into battle."

Lynch’s mouth gaped open, unable to believe what he was hearing. He immediately grabbed the elf guard’s shoulder: "Five days? You mean I’ve been gone for five days?"

"Yes, many were worried about where you went." Although the mage’s direct physical contact was somewhat uncomfortable, Caidi swiftly answered the mage’s question.

"That’s impossible!" Lynch said, "Using Flying Magic, the round trip shouldn’t take more than a day. Where did those missing four days go?"
