The elven citizens on the Ereinrith city, were living their lives normally when they started to hear many different voices infused with mana, warning them of the incoming danger. Most of them chose to believe on what they were hearing, because there were many known faces among the people announcing that news, that it couldn't possibly be a lie.

However, it wasn't everyone that could so easily abandon their houses, because of a vague information like that. There were those that needed to see it happen in order to believe it.

There was another problem as well... It was literally impossible to warn the entire city before something could happen, and that led to the situation they were right now.

Many elves were escaping to a safer place, together with the leaders of the Allakiir and Beihorn families, while there were many more that were watching that crazy scene from inside their houses.

But suddenly, a mythical force made everyone raise their heads and look up to the skies. Up there, many small red dots, twinkling like small red stars, entered their field of vision. The entire sky above the city was crowded with those red dots, that initially seemed really beautiful.

Suddenly, they accelerated like heavenly meteors towards the ground.

The Elf Queen felt that Allannia has gone insane. She was targeting innocent people, what brought Arwen, rage.

She lifted her hand and a curtain of green light swept past most red orbs nearby, destroying them all. However, it was only a small part before the huge quantity of orbs already descending.

Her body moved rapidly, leaving multiple after-images behind, while she extinguished most of those orbs with her Evergreen Essence. But Allannia wouldn't let it happen so easily.

Allannia charged after her, striking multiple times in order to bother her from destroying her red orbs. Truth be told, even though Allannia's desire for power was strong and she would sacrifice many lives for that purpose, she would never destroy the city that would be the symbol of her power and prestige, in normal circumstances. But the Corruption was already affecting her deeply, clouding her judgement and taking control of her.

Arwen defended against Allannia's attacks, as many powerful Mana shockwaves happened because of their clash. Just like that, Arwen was forced to enter in a fierce combat with her, while many orbs kept descending until they reached the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The city was heavily bombarded with many Mana Sovereign energy orbs, that exploded in a bright red light, extinguishing whatever was in their area of effect. Hundreds of explosions occurred inside the city. The houses and people that were caught on those explosions, vanished in a puff of smoke.

"AAAAHHH!

"

"What is happening?!

"

"Nooo!

"

A huge chaos started to spread down there and the survivors finally understood the situation was grave.

"You! I don't believe you were able to involve innocent people on our fight.

" The Elf Queen looked towards her former Chief Commander with rage, unbelieving she had done such a vile act.

"Ahaha... You better fight with me seriously, or else I might drop more red orbs down there.

"

Arwen eyes started to shine in a green light and her hair danced behind her body. A deep green fog covered the whole area and Allannia's red energy dispersed while entering in contact with that fog.

Arwen pointed with her finger and the huge cloud of poison moved towards her opponent very quickly, sealing her escape routes.

Allannia was quickly surrounded by that poison and not even the red lights protecting her body were able to fight against it. Her skin started to get paler as the poison invaded her body. She felt pressured inside that huge cloud of poison and could only try to circulate her red energy madly.

She just entered the Mana Sovereign Realm of cultivation and didn't have a perfect mastery over her strength yet, however, the Elf Queen was a senior in that aspect. She just started to fight serious after getting furious and was able to pressure Allannia to a dead end.

But just as she thought everything was going to end. The Corrupted World Tree inside the Secret Garden started to emit some strange energy fluctuations.

Arwen felt her Evergreen Essence weakening, while Allannia felt her Crimson Essence rising in quality.

BOOM!

She released a shockwave of destruction and dispersed the whole poison cloud that was smothering her. Her body shot like an arrow towards the Elf Queen and she punched her chest area while Arwen was feeling weakened.

The Elf Queen flew through the air for more than a kilometer until she was able to stop. Drops of blood were at the corner of her lips and she felt a painful feeling in the middle of her chest. She looked down and felt the crimson energy trying to penetrate her body defenses, through that area.

She swiftly circled her Evergreen Essence to cleanse that energy, but the Corrupted World Tree kept interfering with her power, weakening it to the point where it wasn't possible to cleanse that energy anymore.

"Ahahaha!

" Allannia madly laughed and her red aura exploded. She lifted both of her hands and pointed them towards Arwen.

Very strong Mana fluctuations started to appear around of her hands and a huge amount of power was gathered at that point. Her hands started to glow with a fiery radiance, increasing the power until she couldn't handle it anymore.

"Die!

"

A horizontal column of fiery red particles disintegrated everything on its way, reaching the Elf Queen in the blink of an eye. That skill contained all the power a Mana Sovereign Realm cultivator was able to produce and even the space around that red laser, bent when it was passing.

The Elf Queen was feeling like there was something gnawing at her powers, decreasing her strength. She knew what it was, since she felt the strange fluctuations around the ancestor tree down there.

However, there was nothing she could do now. The red column of searing flames was already right in front of her. She retreated as fast as she could and left behind many barriers made of pure Mana, trying to weaken her enemy's technique, but every single barrier she had left behind, melted down by the scorching heat coming from that laser.

Arwen used her Mana to transform it into Evergreen Essence, even though it was consuming a lot more than it would normally, because of the World Tree interference. She enveloped her whole body with it and almost at the same time, the huge horizontal column of fire struck her body, exploding in a blinding light.

BOOM!

There was an explosion of huge proportions, illuminating the whole sky. Not only was the entire city burning with red flames, but the sky has now, turned into a dark shade of red, since Allannia's skills were composed of corrupted energy. Even the people suffering down there looked towards the sky, since the explosion was so loud, that they thought the world was ending.

Arwen's figure fell from the middle of that huge explosion while many people were looking at that area. They finally noticed that their queen was fighting and had been badly hurt.

There was a sense of anguish rising inside their hearts. If their queen lost the fight, then who would be able to stop her enemy from storming the Elven Kingdom?

As the Elf Queen's body was falling through the air, she suddenly regained her consciousness and used her Mana to hover where she was. The impact had caused many of her internal organs to shift their position, making her lose her consciousness for some seconds. The drops of blood that had preciously dried at the corner of her lips, were now two thin lines of blood that didn't stop dripping at all.

She felt a sharp pain on her entire body and mainly on her arms, since they were entirely burned. The corruption had invaded her body and was now inside her energy veins, trying to control her power and turn her into another mindless vessel.

"Hehehe... That's it! I want to see you despair while watching your whole reign crumble to pieces.

" Allannia's voice had turned more deeper, just like a distorted monster voice. The red shards on her skin were growing at an incomprehensible speed, making her arms and legs ugly and disproportional.

The Elf Queen looked towards her and couldn't believe that she was previously an elf. Her body had turned into a monstruous shape already and her corrupted emotions were intensifying. The only one that didn't notice how different she had turned, was Allannia herself.

"You don't deserve what you have. It will all be mine!

" Her arms started to inflate and the crystal shards around them drunk from the deep Mana pool she had, getting bigger.

Her power seemed to be growing, while Arwen's power was diminishing. That was all because of the corruption spreading inside the World Tree Replica.

Arwen knew what she had to do. She had to destroy her own ancestor in order destroy the roots of Allannia's power. However, she would be destroying her powers too.. But that was something she had already decided to do, since it had only brought her disgrace.
