Under everyone's astonished gazes, El suddenly radiated a golden light, and the black dragon's breath evaporated like mist the moment it approached him, causing not even the slightest harm.
Not only that, but at the very instant the light enveloped El, his injuries began to heal rapidly, and even his severed arm grew back!
The elves of the Flame Tribe looked at this miraculous scene with their mouths agape in shock.
Then, an elder elf suddenly trembled with a sharp intake of breath, exclaiming out loud,
"The power of life! It's the power of life! This is the life force wielded by the Mother Goddess! He... he is a Divine Favored of the Mother Goddess!"
"It's the Mother Goddess... it's the Mother Goddess! She has noticed us through the Divine Favored!"
Divine Favored!
The remaining elves gazed at El, their expressions transforming from astonishment to excitement, and then from excitement to ecstatic joy!
