The Villain's Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God's Sidekick-Chapter 217: Two Days, and Still No Verdict?

The moment they saw the elf sitting atop the cloud, all the other elves froze in place.

Even Vinia was no exception. Her expression stiffened for a few seconds before she reacted as though she had seen something utterly unbelievable, her face showing a look of sheer shock.

“Cocotte Yade?!”

As her voice echoed, the elven guards felt as if the world itself had collapsed, their hearts shaken to the core.

But this emotion quickly transformed into excitement and joy.

Heavy breaths of exhilaration and ecstatic cheers mingled together in that instant.

“The Elf Queen? Her Majesty has returned?!”

“Am I... am I dreaming?”

“Oh my goodness, the High Priestess truly has divine foresight! She said the Queen would return, and she actually did!”

“I must inform all our kin of this!”

The guards, overwhelmed with excitement, abandoned their posts and rushed off to spread the news of the Elf Queen’s return to every corner of the Forest of Elves.

“Hey, you all…”

Vinia reached out, trying to stop them, but the elven guards, lost in their euphoria, completely ignored her.

They paid no heed to Vinia’s outstretched hand and disappeared in a flash.

Weapons were scattered all over the ground, and even their wooden armor was discarded as if it were a hindrance.

Only one guard lagged behind. She noticed Vinia’s hand still hovering mid-air, hurriedly stepped forward, and clasped it tightly, her voice trembling with excitement.

“High Priestess! Thank you so much!”

“It was you who summoned Her Majesty back to us!”

Before Vinia could even process what was happening, the guard had already dashed off.

Watching her kin’s elation, Cocotte, seated on her cloud, placed her hands on her hips and threw her head back in laughter.

“Hahaha, it seems I’m still quite revered.”

Vinia awkwardly withdrew her hand, forcing a smile before turning to Cocotte with a calm gaze.

“Cocotte Yade, didn’t you once say you would never return?”

Cocotte shrugged helplessly and shook her head.

“I didn’t want to come back either, but…”

She turned slightly, glancing behind her.

Vinia’s gaze followed Cocotte’s line of sight, landing on a figure cloaked in a hood and wearing a mask to conceal their face.

Unable to discern the figure’s identity, Vinia squinted her eyes, her cold voice filled with suspicion.

“You brought a human here?”

“Cocotte Yade, even if you are the Queen of Elves, you shouldn’t have brought a human into the Forest of Elves.”

Cocotte raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with mockery as she smirked.

“Who told you she’s a human?”

Vinia froze in surprise, and Cocotte suddenly called out:

“Leon.”

At her words, the mysterious figure behind her seemed to receive a command.

The figure reached out, pulling back their hood and removing the mask that covered their face.

Revealed were long, pointed ears and a cold, strikingly beautiful face.

Like a shard of ice, her demeanor exuded an aura that kept others at a distance.

Vinia blinked in astonishment as she looked at Leon.

“She’s… an elf?”

Stepping closer to Leon, Vinia bent slightly to scrutinize her features more closely.

“Hmm… there’s something familiar about you. Feels like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

Vinia assumed that Leon was one of the elves who had left the Forest of Elves to search for Cocotte and had successfully brought her back.

After all, Cocotte’s return to the Forest of Elves was now a reality.

With a smile on her face, Vinia kindly asked Leon, “My kin, please tell me your surname.”

She had already heard Leon’s name from Cocotte, though Vinia found the name somewhat peculiar.

It didn’t quite fit the naming style of elves.

Despite her doubts, Vinia maintained her smile, meeting Leon’s cold gaze.

But all she got in return was a faint scoff from the elf before her.

“Kin.”

Hearing that word again, Leon couldn’t help but find it particularly ironic.

The scoff left Vinia momentarily stunned.

Leon slowly closed her eyes, recalling the words Viktor had once said to her.

When she reopened her eyes, her emerald-green gaze locked with Vinia’s.

“Kravina.”

“Remember my surname.”

…

Inside the Yade Sacred Tree was an extraordinarily vast internal space.

The natural energy within was immensely concentrated, like a massive reservoir brimming with abundant power.

The wind roared, and Viktor’s coat billowed wildly.

A suffocating, oppressive aura erupted.

Staring at the seemingly endless health bar, Viktor’s calm voice resonated coldly.

“That which belongs to my family.”

“It’s time you returned it.”
