Chapter 599 Elf Council
No one can resist the desire to increase their strength, and Martongar was no exception. In particular, after witnessing the power of the giant serpent in Silvermoon Lake, he became even more eager to improve his strength.
However, although we are currently in a period of psionic resurgence, it is still quite difficult and time-consuming to continue advancing at the Gold rank.
However, Mr. Anker naturally had his own special method, which was to guide the energy of the altar and channel it into Martongar.
The Evil Eye Altar was originally designed to summon dimensional rifts, but later, through the research of Evil Eye cult members, they discovered a special use for this altar.
That is, the remaining energy can be transferred to a particular believer, thereby greatly enhancing their strength in a way that forces growth.
Of course, since it's described as forcing growth, there are bound to be side effects.
First, the cultist's own power must be at least at the Gold level, otherwise they would soon suffer a backlash. They tried to transfer him to a Bronze-level cultist, but they were quickly attacked. The Bronze-level cultist's body exploded instantly before he could even maintain his position.
They then tried the Silver tier, but the result was the same, except that they lasted a little longer than with the Bronze tier.
Therefore, according to their deduction, to withstand this power, one must at least reach the Gold rank.
Some of them have already tried this, and at least so far, there has been no case of the body exploding.
Although Mr. Anke was not an expert in combat, he had studied this aspect extensively. He quickly realized that even if a Gold-ranked being could withstand it, demise was only a matter of time.
The altar's energy was more powerful than they had imagined. The creatures that had been sacrificed, after being purified by the altar, seemed to have been contaminated by some kind of energy, transforming into an extremely evil and chaotic energy.
But so what? The Evil Eye Cult is an evil cult, and its followers are fanatical believers in evil gods, so naturally they don't care about these things.
Moreover, Mr. Anker was not extraditing himself, but to the ogre chieftain Madongar, whom he had never met. Given Madongar's physical condition, even if he wanted to die, it would take him several months, no matter how fast.
Therefore, during this time, he could properly bewitch Madongar and replenish the energy of his altar.
By using the altar to enhance Madongar's power, this unique ogre quickly reaped the benefits. He was an ogre chieftain with lofty ambitions.
It wanted to be king, the king of this forest, and before that, it naturally needed to improve its strength. Therefore, after realizing that Mr. Anke had not deceived it, it quickly agreed to Mr. Anke's request.
Later, through Mr. Anker's mediation, the ogre Madongar and the goblin Kogaga joined forces to hunt down every human who ventured into the Forest of Titya.
Although powerful monsters can also power the altar, the altar seems to favor humans. Therefore, in order to speed up the altar's progress, ogres and goblins joined forces and attacked many caravans entering the Forest of Titya.
After all this, their altar grew stronger and stronger, and it might not be long before it was able to revive from its dusty state again, which made Mr. Anke extremely happy.
Of course, during this process they also discovered the species of elves, which is a once-in-a-century event.
With the monsters becoming more active, the elves also became active in the forest again, which gave them an opportunity. They captured the elves and then poured them into the altar, only to find that they were a kind of sacrificial material that surpassed that of humans.
Therefore, they also added elves to their hunting list.
Groups of ogres, accompanied by goblins, roamed the forest, beginning a large-scale capture operation.
It's safe to say that if no one stops them, they will definitely reach this goal very quickly.
However, things didn't go as they wished. After one disappearance after another of their people, the elves also sensed that something was wrong...

"I oppose going out. Why should we go out? We're doing just fine here, and what's happening outside has nothing to do with us. Now look what's happened! It's because you said you wanted to go out that the clan has suffered such a huge loss!"
In the elven territory, another meeting led by the high-ranking members was held. More than a dozen elven elders, all of whom were long-time residents and held great prestige within the tribe, were seated there.
Their meeting focused on whether or not to leave their territory to search for the cause of the elusive demonic disturbance.
Before the meeting began, news of the expedition team being attacked by ogres and captured by insectoids had already reached the ears of the elders present.
This immediately sparked protests from many conservatives, who argued that if they hadn't gone out, there wouldn't have been so much trouble, their people wouldn't have suffered so many casualties, and they wouldn't have been captured.
The radicals, on the other hand, believe that in this ever-changing situation, simply retreating will only put them in a passive position.
The two sides argued endlessly. However, as elves who had always lived in their ancestral lands, the conservatives were definitely in the majority. Under the barrage of arguments, the radicals gradually began to give in.
However, at that moment, Elder Andertru, the most respected elder in the clan, suddenly spoke up:
“I have received instructions from the goddess.”
With just one sentence, he stunned everyone present. No one doubted the truthfulness of what Andertrus said. After all, as the longest-living being, this guy was the goddess's number one fan, a true fanatic, and his faith was much more devout than theirs.
What puzzled them was that the goddess hadn't given any instructions for a long time, so why did she wake up at this crucial moment?
"The goddess said that the evil god is about to revive in this land. The restlessness of the demons is a sign of the evil god's revival. At that time, the entire forest and the entire continent will be corrupted by the evil god."
"The Elven race will not be spared. If we continue to use the old methods of hiding, our race will only perish in this upheaval."
Upon hearing this, the conservatives fell silent. They could persuade their companions not to go out and take action, but they dared not disobey the goddess's will.
If this is true, then they have no choice but to comply.
Andertrus glanced around and, seeing no objections, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he quickly spoke again:
"Let's make contact with that insectoid force first..."
