Reign of Exiled

Chapter 110: The Sovereign's Fury and Verdant Revival

Kael's Wrathflare Lance, augmented by the collective focus of his wives, tore through the air like a bolt of cosmic lightning. It wasn't just a physical strike; it was a concentrated spear of sin-fire and sovereign will, imbued with the intent to shatter Morwen's corrupted essence. The Elder, bathed in the sickly green light siphoned from the ancient trees, shrieked, a sound of pure agony and outrage, as the lance slammed into his chest.

Morwen's Eyes, wide and bloodshot, reflected the searing impact. He hadn't expected such coordinated, piercing power from a "Worldpiercer" realm cultivator. The corrupted aura around him flickered violently, and the drain on the surrounding glade momentarily faltered, causing the giant trees to give a collective, faint shudder of relief.

"He's weakening!" Valeria cried, her own verdant essence flaring, instinctively reaching out to counter Morwen's draining magic. "Keep the pressure on!"

While Kael pressed his assault on Morwen, the battle around them raged. The Stone Golem, though missing an arm, continued its relentless advance, now targeting Evelyne. Its remaining fist slammed down, cracking the very ground. Evelyne, nimble as starlight, dodged with a graceful pirouette, weaving a web of solar flares that began to melt the Golem's stony hide.

Harem Link (Selene to All): "Evelyne, lead it into the root network. We can entangle it there!"

Harem Link (Evelyne to All): "Got it, darling! This brute is persistent!"

The Corrupted Elementals, despite taking hits from Nysera's hexes and Thalaria's lightning, reformed, their fragmented bodies flowing like dark, malevolent sludge. One surged towards Nysera, its corrupted tendrils lashing out. Nysera countered with a swift, elegant movement, a shadow-infused dagger appearing in her hand as she danced away, striking precisely at the elemental's core, causing it to scream and dissolve into noxious mist.

The Sylvan Guardian fighting Emberfang was a beast of corrupted strength, its eyes glinting with a mindless fury. Its ancient blade, once used to protect, now aimed to kill. Emberfang, a blur of fiery fur and claws, met its ferocity head-on, his growing power allowing him to parry blows and unleash burning roars that scorched the Guardian's skin. Vira darted around them, a tiny, emerald streak, her venomous fangs striking repeatedly, weakening the Guardian's corrupted vitality.

Harem Link (Thalaria to All): "Those Guardians are tougher than they look! Their corrupted life force makes them resilient. We need to cut their connection to Morwen's power."

Harem Link (Valeria to All): "I can sense it. He's drawing on them, using them as living conduits. If we sever their link, they'll collapse."

Kael, seeing the desperate struggle of his pets and the continued threat of the Guardians, channeled more power into his Wrathflare Lance, forcing Morwen back further. "You think you can corrupt this realm and its people, Morwen?" Kael snarled, a wave of powerful charisma mixed with righteous fury radiating from him. "You twisted their loyalty, but you can't twist their true essence, nor the will of their rightful Queen!"

He glanced back at Valeria, who stood radiant even amidst the chaos, her power resonating with the uncorrupted parts of the glade. A surge of pride swelled in Kael. "Look at her, Morwen! This is the true power of the Sylvan Courts! A beauty that eclipses your petty, twisted ambition!" Kael's words were a direct challenge, laced with a subtle, confident flirtation that was almost inappropriate for the battlefield, yet utterly Kael. He knew Lilith was watching, and he wanted her to see the conviction behind his confidence.

Harem Link (Aelisa to All, a little breathless from her diversion): "He's flirting with his mother-in-law during a battle? My Sovereign has no chill."

Harem Link (Selene to All): "It's audacious. And surprisingly effective at distracting the villain."

Harem Link (Evelyne to All): "And flattering her daughter, by extension. Very Kael."

Harem Link (Thalaria to All): "Focus, ladies! He's right, we need to cut the Guardians' links!"

Morwen shrieked again, a raw, primal sound of pure rage as Kael's remarks struck a nerve. The sheer audacity of Kael's flirtation, coupled with the continued assault, pushed him to the brink. "Insolent mortal! I will drain you all! I will drain this realm dry!" He began a desperate counter-attack, his hands glowing with a sickly green, pulling at the very life force of the ancient trees themselves.

But Valeria was ready. Her hands glowed with a pure, emerald light. "You don't own this realm's life, Morwen! Not anymore!" She unleashed a wave of Verdant Sovereign's Heart energy, clashing directly with Morwen's corrupt siphon. A ripple of cleansing green light spread from her, counteracting the Elder's dark influence, causing the enslaved Sylvan Guardians to groan and stumble as their connections to Morwen flickered.

"Now!" Kael roared, seeing his chance. He unleashed a full Infernal Domain, expanding it to engulf Morwen and his remaining minions, the searing sin-fire designed to purify and destroy corruption.
