Age of Elves: The Return of the King

Before Yun Xiao and Manafido could say anything, Darkley suddenly raised a paw towards them.

The next moment, Yun Xiao only felt a blur in front of his eyes.

He was back at the entrance of the cave again!
It seems that Darkrai teleported himself out the last time he fell into a nightmare
Yun Xiao fell into deep thought.

He looked down at the fragments of the slate in his hand, and couldn't believe for a moment that things would go so smoothly.

But the information that popped up on the system panel made him have to believe it.

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a mythical item—a piece of evil stone slab]

[The host please continue to collect other fragments and reassemble the evil attribute slate. 】

Mana Fei also leaned over at this moment, and glanced at the fragment in Yun Xiao's hand, his face full of disbelief.

"It's the real thing, he actually... really gave it to you like this?"

Yun Xiao nodded, with a strange expression on her face.

"I remember that someone said that Darkley is a heinous and terrifying existence. As long as you get close to him, you will be tortured by nightmares and you will never be able to escape?"

Mana Fei:

"Whoever said such a thing, it's not my prince anyway."

Yun Xiao shrugged, put the slab fragments into the system backpack, and continued:
"In any case, after we went in, we were indeed affected by the nightmare. This is the truth."

"I guess it was those black light spots that caused us to fall into the nightmare before, and these black light spots should be the power of Darkrai."

Manafei nodded.

"I also think... how strange, since that guy treats us so well, why does he still attack us with nightmares?"

Instead of being aggressive, Darkley gave them the fragments in a very friendly manner—he didn't even know who the "Arzeus" standing behind Yunxiao was.

Yun Xiao stroked her chin and thought about it.

"I think there are two possibilities in this situation."

"The first one is that he actually knew who Arceus was, but he just pretended not to know and gave us the slate by the way, so that Arceus wouldn't trouble him."

"But it doesn't make sense... When he went in for the first time, he didn't know our identities, and he also sent us out safely without making a move."

He paused and continued:
"I think the other possibility is more realistic-in fact, Darkley has never been malicious to other lives around him, and he is not as vicious as the legend says."

Manafei said strangely:

"Then why is he still attacking us with nightmares?"

Yun Xiao shrugged.

"I guess, he just can't control his abilities."

"As long as he is by his side, those black light spots will automatically attack other lives around him, making them fall into a nightmare."

"And he couldn't control these light spots, so after we fell into a nightmare for the first time, he sent us out. After entering this time, he drove us away as if urging us."

As soon as the words were finished, a line of system prompts suddenly jumped out in front of Yun Xiao.

【Ding!The host has unlocked the SS-level hidden mission - the haunting of the God of Nightmares! 】

[Mission introduction: The legendary nightmare god Darkley has powerful power, but he can’t control it. Darkley is very distressed about this, and you need to find a way to help him]

[Task Requirement: Help Darkley master his own power (not completed)]

[Task reward: Isn't it the best reward to gain the favor of a first-level beast? 】

Looking at the data refreshed on the mission panel, Yun Xiao knew in his heart that he must have guessed right.

It's just... the reward for this mission.

Tsk, the system is really getting more and more stingy, this time it simply won't give out rewards!

But what the system said is correct, to gain the favor of a first-level divine beast, it is definitely a great thing for Yun Xiao.

What's more, in fact, as far as he is concerned, he is also willing to help this guy.

The other party was holding a fragment of a slate and absorbing it comfortably, but after expressing his intention, he gave the fragment directly to him without saying a word.

Doing a favor for Darkley would be regarded as paying back the favor of this fragment.

"We have to go in again, I want to talk to him."

Yun Xiao turned to look at Manafei and said.

"? Didn't you get everything?"

Mana Fei was dumbfounded.

"Just be a friend."

Yun Xiao didn't explain much, just turned around and walked towards the cave.

Manafei seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and sat down on Yunxiao's shoulder honestly.

One person and one elf walked into the cave again and came to the corner.

Strictly speaking, this is the third time they have come in.

Yun Xiao stood beside the black light spots and observed for a while, and found that, as he thought, these light spots themselves would not actively attack people.

Only when Darkley was around, the light spot would become irritable, locking everything around it.

It's like a stress response.

With the experience of last time, he activated the power of overcoming in advance, and the colorful light instantly enveloped Yun Xiao and Manafei in it.

Then, he passed through the barrier made of black light spots, and saw Darkrai again.

Darkley glanced at Yun Xiao, and the elf was obviously stunned for a moment, his sky blue eyes were full of surprise and surprise.

"Human... why did you... come?"

His voice sounded again.

Yun Xiao shrugged, ignoring the black dots of light constantly falling on the barrier of overcoming power, and showing a friendly smile.

"Darkley, hello, I know you can't control your own power, so I want to help you."

As soon as these words came out, he clearly saw Darkley's eyes widen.

Darkley looked at the colorful lights around Yun Xiao, and spoke again, his tone full of anxiety and worry.

"Your..strength can resist for a short time and persistence is difficult"

"Can't help me"

Yun Xiao was silent for a moment when she heard the words.

It seems that last time Darkley was really worried that he would not last long, so he rushed to send himself out.

In this case
hum! !

I saw that the power of transcendence surrounding him suddenly increased, illuminating the entire cave.

Those black spots of light melted into the air before they could touch the barrier!

——Having mastered the power of transcendence for so long, Yun Xiao has unknowingly mastered this power in many times of use, which is not what it used to be.

Standing in the light, he shrugged towards Darkrai.

"Don't worry, I should last a long time. You don't have to worry about me."

"We can have a good chat."
