The next day, the few of us who had planned to continue our training were summoned to the garden of the student council by a summons from Kelly.

Students' Union Garden

"Come on. ”

A few of us sat around a table in the flower pavilion.

"Teacher, what did you call us for?" I asked.

"Well, what I'm going to talk about today is something you should know as a member of the student union, and this matter is about the current mainland. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around us became tense, and we sat down.

"You won't believe this when you say it, but it is true that the current situation on the continent is that our continent has fallen into a big crisis. ”

Crisis?!

"Leng Yi, put the projection map out. ”

Hearing this, Leng Yi placed a projection stone in the center of the table, and a map was projected from the stone.

That is the plate map of the Divine Relic Continent, and each area of the surface has a very clear indication, the Divine Relic Continent is divided into four major plates according to the four directions, and the position we are in is the eastern plate of the continent.

"This is what the continent looked like at the beginning, and now the continent has become like this. Kelly's hand swiped over the stone, and he switched to a picture.

It's still the continent, but it's a little more than before, and there are some black areas on the map, some small, some very large, scattered across the continent. The largest of them is the most edge of the Western Continent, with a long strip of black domain, like a crack.

It is impossible for us not to be surprised to see this, but we did not expect that the continent where we have lived for many years has now become like this.

However, Lei Mingxuan, Mo Lin, and Agni Huo were much calmer than our surprise, and it seemed that they had known about this early on.

"Mingxuan, do you know about this?"

"Hmm. Lei Mingxuan responded, which was counted as an answer. She didn't want to say anything more about it.

"The reason why those areas are black is because of the presence of xenomorphs. Leng Yi said.

"Xenomorphs?

"We don't know what it is, only that it's a collection of dark energies. They rely on devouring other creatures to enhance their abilities. About 1,000 years ago, it suddenly appeared on the main road, and then began to devour people on the continent. The devoured humans and beasts do not die, but become like them, possessing the ability to devour, and then go on to find the next target. Leng Yi said. His job at the academy was to investigate them and get more information about them.

"At that time, the sudden appearance of the xenomorph immediately attracted the attention of Ling Yu Academy and the Seven Great Temples. They sent people to investigate, and controlled the spread of xenomorphs to the interior.

Since then, however, one or two xenomorphs have appeared anywhere on the continent from time to time, causing multiple small areas of assimilation.

So the academy and the temple agreed, and the students of the academy and the people in the temple formed a team to resist the xenomorphs and investigate their origins.

With the investigation of them, we found their source, which is here. Kelly pointed to the black crack on the map.

"This crack came out of nowhere when the xenos first appeared, and it wasn't that big, but over time, it became what it is now.

The temple and the academy had sent strong men to try to seal it, but it didn't take long for it to be breached each time.

As a result, the temple and the academy can only seal it continuously to slow down the frequency of the appearance of one, but they cannot completely control it.

So much so that some areas of the continent have become gathering places for xenomorphs, and have become crevice-like existences, although they are not strong, they cannot be eliminated. ”

"Does that mean that the other role of the Academy's Student Council is to defend against xenos, in addition to managing the school?" said Agni.

"Yes. ”

"Not only the human race has been affected, but also the people of my elven clan have been harmed, if the elves are devoured by it, they will lose their elven hearts, become black elves, and mutilate their compatriots, so that the number of elves has greatly decreased. Manda said bitterly.

"That'...... Isn't there a solution?" I asked.

"Yes, but it can also be said that there is none. Kelly said.

"What do you mean?"

"Because this method is related to a legend that circulates among the elven royal family. Manda said.

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, before the gods were about to leave this continent, the first Elven King was summoned to the palace.

He knew that he could no longer stay on the continent, and had predicted that the continent would face a great catastrophe in the future, when she said to the first generation of elven kings: Light and darkness are mutually reinforcing, there is no absolute darkness in the world, and there is no absolute light, and if the two compete with each other, it will cause a great storm, which is enough to destroy the world he has created. The god didn't want the world he had created to be like that, so he came up with a solution, which he told the elven king so that he could pass on the secret until the time of crisis. ”

"And the solution that the gods have come up with is to leave a guardian force on this continent, so that this force can help the continent through the crisis. Kelly said.

"Is it a force?"
