The world was trembling.
The sky seemed to be breaking apart crashing down on the ground.
The air in itself burnt like fire surrounding everything.
Millions of warriors holding their breath stood on the ground motionless.
They looked tired and haggard but their eyes were burning with a fighting spirit.
This was a memorable spectacle, a sight of countless soldiers waiting for the current single moment.
The close-combat warriors quietly waited for their turn, while those attacking from a long distance got ready to fling attack at the enemy.
Arrow-laden with magic spells and various spells ready to be cast were aimed at the sky.
Above the sky, a pair of dark eyes gazed at them that seemed to pull them into the abyss.
The blue sky was blocked by a sea of dark figures.
There seemed to be no end to their numbers.
"Meagre ants, your numbers are too small to even offer resistance."
The hopes of humanity crashed down by the boisterous voice and they were at an all-time low.
Destruction awaits before them.
Their existence was in peril.
There were humans, demons, orcs, dragons, elves, and dwarves and along with them, there was also the presence of any creature who had a tiny bit of intelligence in them.
Rigid tension filled up the atmosphere as all glared at the figure upheld.
With every passing second, their end seemed to be approaching closer and closer, however at that time a loud sound that caused everyone to shudder reverted.
BATHUMP!BATHUMP!BATHUMP!
Everyone's eyes widened as they could hear a pulsating sound which was akin to the sound of the heartbeat of the world.
And then...the gazes of the warriors that were glaring at the enemy fell on the back of the man who appeared out of thin air.
Seeing his broad back calmed them down. The aura around him seems to be ordinary but they knew he was unfathomable.
His heartbeat was enough to shake the entire world sending strong ripples of mana that even affected the enemy covering the sky but oddly it didn't affect the warriors on the ground rather it calmed down.
His presence alone seemed to oppress the enemy.
As the man took a step, an enormous gate appeared behind them destroying an invisible wall separating the two worlds from the other side and soon certain things defied common sense poured out in endless droves.
Mana surged from the other side and filled the world. The mana that gushed out from the other side was light and warm.
Not only does it solace them, but it also replenishes their strength.
The things had many pairs of white wings on their back and were covered in shining white armour.
These creatures completely blotted out the sky in no time.
Everyone who looked at the scene was completely dumbfounded by the number of descending creatures that poured out endlessly.
"What....how many are they...how could each one of them possess such strength."
"There are just too many, are they our friends or foes?"
Gasps and screams filled with despair exploded from here and there.
The scene was utterly shocking but this wasn't the end of all.
The ground below them was covered with a darkish mana that floated around them.
They grasped in shock and looked at the man's back from which a shadow elongated that seemed to be engulfing the whole world.
As confusion and terror began whipping all around the battlefield, from the shadow of the man, large dark-coloured monsters who looked similar to demons sprouted out.
Their breathing stopped for a moment and everyone became restless.
They panicked and started to make their move.
Magic spells ready to cast gleamed brightly in their hands and bowstrings aimed down were pulled tightly.
Warriors raised their weapons and shield upright to their chin getting ready for close combat.
But before they could move out and pour out their concentrated firepower, a loud yell echoed.
[Stop! They are allies]
The man's will was carried by mana and was transmitted to everyone.
'Allies. These are our allies.'
'Where the hell were they when we were reduced to such a state.'
Everyone had the same thought about it.
The man raised his head and pointed at the swarm of enemies.
"I hope you are prepared to face what is coming."
As soon as the man's words fell, five bright pillars erupted from his back.
The man who was about to engage suddenly chuckled and tilted his head.
His gaze fell on an individual among the crowd whose existence seemed to be frail.
The individual seemed to be standing between a dream and reality.
"Leave now!"
The individual heard the man's words and he suddenly opened his eyes to find himself under a thatched ceiling supported by tree trunks.
"I...I..."
He tried to speak but he wasn't able to because his body which was healthy a moment ago suddenly atrophied into a thin body.
His body started to shrink and his face filled with vitality started to show signs of wrinkles.
Grasps started to resound around him.
Many elves stood beside him and screamed in panic seeing his state.
The man whose body started to wither spoke with a soft voice.
"Call the King and Queen and the High Priestess immediately."
One of the elves shouted after hearing the elf's words.
There was panic all around and soon, The Royals arrived.
The Elf King's eyes widened as he saw the current state of the man and his expression became pale.
"Overlord Legolas..." He shouted and squatted beside him.
"What did you see that drained most of your life span?"
"My death was already near His Highness. I still remember when you became the King."He coughed heavily and spoke again.
With trembling lips, he muttered.
"The...The world would soon face a catastrophe like never before. If our species has to survive we need to let go of our pride."
"False bravado would lead us to doom."
"Remember it well, Highness."
"Sir what did you witness? What kind of catastrophe? Weren't you looking for a way to revive the world tree? So why..."
"The problem of the world tree would be solved by him."
"He will appear soon."
"To protect us from the end and we have supp..sup!!!"
With a heavy breath, the man finally lost his life.
The whole nation of Elves started to mourn for the Elf who used to be known as Fate Seeing Emperor Legolas that not only guided the Elves but the whole world during the time of crisis in the past.
