'I can feel something else… it feels like the mana around the air is trying to force its way into me. But how and why?' he thought. Immediately they had come out of the deep forest, as if sensing it, elves began peeping out of their different houses to see what was going on as they could see Grey in the middle of the warrior elves. "That is the way to our leader's palace, let's go." The old elf said and they all began moving towards there. They walked forward for a few steps before they all stood in front of the huge house on a huge painted tree. "How are we getting up there?" Grey asked. "Like this." The old elf said and then he began floating above the ground so did Damien and they flew upwards towards the tree before they landed in front of the house. It was only the old elf and Damien that accompanied Grey to the palace as the rest had turned back. With a sigh, Grey also used his wind magic to begin floating towards the house. 'I noticed it, they used pure mana and then shaped like as if it was wind magic they exhibited. These race as no joke.' he thought as he landed in front of the old elf who gave the house a soft knock and then a male elf opened the door. "Oh! Old man! What brings you here?" The elf asked. "We are here to see the leader." The old elf replied. "The leader? Wh…" he was about to ask his next words when he turned around to see Grey standing around without the top half of shirt with his hands in his pockets standing around nonchalantly with soft wind blowing his hair. "Who's this? What even is he?" The elf at the door asked. "A human! And will you let us in already? My legs might give in at anytime." The old elf said. "I'm sorry, My bad. Come on in." The elf said as he left the door and allowed the old elf, Damien and Grey to enter. Walking into the huge house, Grey's sight was met with the interior of the Elf Leader's palace which was a breathtaking fusion of nature and elegance. Towering silverwood doors opened into a vast hall where crystal orbs bathed the space in a soft, ethereal glow. Vines crept along the walls, blooming at the presence of visitors, while the polished moonstone floor reflected their faint luminescence. At the hall's center stood the Heartwood, an ancient tree with golden leaves, its roots visible beneath a transparent floor where an underground spring shimmered. Beyond the grand hall lay the throne room, where a seat of power, carved from the roots of an enchanted tree, radiated quiet authority. Behind it, a waterfall cascaded down an ivy-covered marble wall, its melody harmonizing with the whisper of wind through tall, arched windows. Starlit tapestries draped the walls, depicting the long, storied history of the elves. Deep within the palace, the Hall of Wisdom held shelves that grew from the walls, cradling countless ancient tomes. Floating lanterns drifted through the air, their blue fire casting flickering shadows over scholars immersed in knowledge. The palace extended into lush indoor gardens, where rare flora thrived in open-roofed sanctuaries. Even the Elf Leader's private chambers reflected their harmony with nature—woven silver-threaded vines shaped the bed, while an enchanted pool mirrored the stars no matter the time of day. Every step through the palace felt like wandering through a dream, a place where magic, wisdom, and nature existed in perfect balance. Walking forward towards the throne, Grey was met with a strange sight as instead of a single throne, there were two thrones but they weren't of equal size as one of them was slightly smaller than the other but the small one was no less grand as on the two thrones, there were one elves each on it. One was a male with the same features as the other elves but he had golden long hair with a commanding aura. Walking forward, Grey felt a powerful aura of mana surrounding the elf which was slightly suffocating to him. 'This elf… he has a smile on his face but his aura is saying otherwise. Although it feels pure, he is undoubtedly stronger than even 7 star mages. And the elf beside him…' he thought as he saw a female elf occupying the smaller throne. Grey didn't think he would find another race attractive but this female elf was captivating with her breathtaking long luscious silver hair, she sat with a constant smile on her throne. 'She also has immense power but it is still not on the level of this male elf… she could stand her ground against 5 star mages and that's all… but this male elf, his power… he could stand and possibly best the emperor's subordinates that are known to be 7 star mages each… what the hell have I found myself in?!' Grey thought in shock as the elf stopped walking around two feet away from the throne and so did the others including Grey. "What brings you here old man? And who is this human guest?" The leader asked calmly but Grey knew that behind that calm words and soothing voice lay a powerful monster. 'Wait! He recognizes my race?! The others just called me a demon but he… has he encountered humans before?' Grey thought when the male elf leader suddenly had his eyes staring at him weirdly. "You are a mage?!" The leader shouted as he shot out of his seat in shock with his mouth agape. 'Huh?! He knows what I am too? Who the hell is this elf?' he thought. And then like a blur that Grey was unable to keep track of, he suddenly saw the elf in front of him staring at him with wide eyes. 'What the hell?! I didn't see him move, and he is in front of me?!' Grey gulped down in fear. 'I don't think I can step on his toes anyhow as he might eliminate me in the blink of an eye.'

The leader asked with more stars dancing in his eyes. 'What the hell is wrong with this guy? When those elves mentioned their leader, this is not what I envisioned at all.' Grey thought. "Ahem! You are losing your composure." The female elf said and then she stepped forward while the male elf quickly stepped back and cleared his throat. "Old man Jankis, what is a human doing here?" The female elf asked. "He committed a sin my lady." Damien said with a slight bow. "Huh? What sin?" The male elf asked. "You see Licht…" Old man Jankis was about to say when the female elf shot him a glaring look but the male leader just smiled. "Charla, let him be… Old man Jankis is like a father to me, he can call me by my name." Licht said. "Thank you Licht… you see this human here destroyed some trees in the forest a couple of miles away from here." Jankis said. "What?! That is an abomination!" Charla said and then she shot Grey and angry look. "Trees are sacred, trees are part of nature and we must always respect nature and you destroyed some trees? That is totally unacceptable!" She said and then the vines in the room began moving and in a flash, they bind Grey up spreading his arms and legs apart while he had a stunned look on his face as he gulped down in fear. "Please hear me out! I didn't purposely destroy the trees, it was a mistake and I didn't even notice as I was busy admiring the beautiful forest… I'm so sorry for destroying your precious trees!" Grey apologized almost crying. "Haha! So you can be a cry baby? You always act tough, nonchalant, rude and arrogant in face of danger and foes but here you are pleading for your life?!" Noir began laughing in Grey's mind while feeling as if he was rolling around in laughter. "Oh I'm enjoying the show so badly… I can't believe his attitude got toned down drastically!" Noir exclaimed as he began laughing again. 'It's not your fault you damned wolf! Just let me catch you out, I will burn you to a crisp.' Grey screamed in his head. "I dare you to say the same thing to that female elf if she won't skewer you here. Hahaha!" Noir laughed. "Relax Charla, he is telling the truth. He didn't purposely destroy the trees as it was an honest mistake." Licht said and then the vines receded with dropping Grey to the floor who was panting hard not because of exhaustion but because of fear. "But we can't forgive him for commiting an abomination." Charla said. "Who said anything about forgiving him? He is still going to be punished." Licht said and then he turned towards Grey with a smirk on his face while he gulped loudly in fear. 'I couldn't see or do anything when the female attacked me… not even a fighting chance. If he was to attack, I would be dead in an instant.' Grey gulped again while Noir was still rolling in laughter. And all of a sudden, a shining and bright light began glowing in the room that some of them had to cover their faces and in an instant, the light got dimmed while Grey slowly opened his eyes to see light swords in front of him. The swords had mana running through it while looking like golden swords made of light. With a smile, the male elf looked at him. "Light magic! Swords of punishment!"
