They swung their sword at the same time. Two sword waves immediately flying in the air. The other leaders looking at these two sword waves. They have seen the centaur leader sword wave so they weren't very shocked with its power. But when they saw Alex's sword wave. They only felt one thing, it is dread. At that time, All of them know. Alex's sword wave was far stronger than their expectation, no, they underestimated his power too much. A young rank 8… if he didn't have this kind of move. How can he reached rank 8 at such a young age.

'Not Good' The other leaders immediately thought that when the two sword waves clashed with each other. And their thought was proved when Alex's sword wave split the centaur leader's sword wave easily. His sword wave immediately flew to the centaur leader.

The centaur leader was startled as to how easy his sword wave was destroyed. He really underestimated the young human before him. He knew at this moment, he was doomed. He clad all of his mana in his sword to block this move for his last struggle. "Haa!"

The clashed was only for a split second before Alex's sword wave broke his sword. The centaur leader closed his eyes "Good move"

"Boom"

The moment the smoke was cleared. Alex can see. There is an addition of the dwarf leader, the druid leader, and the elven queen. The dwarf leader took out his big shield but still cleaved by Alex's sword wave. The druid leader made a wood wall from the ground, if he looked at it closely, it was coated with an enormous amount of mana. Alex's sword wave almost cut it down though. And the elven queen erected a barrier to repel the shockwave. The titan leader didn't participate in it and sighed, he already predicted this would happen when he saw the power contained from Alex's sword wave. If they really trying to kill him, can they really kill him? Even if they can, how much the casualty they would get? Assuming he is alone. But at present, there is still Principal Florest and another factor (Sherry) who wasn't 'present' in here. He just hopes that this wouldn't escalate to the problem level since they have agreed to help him. He thought that it will be better to befriend with this human instead of having him as their enemy.

"Hahaha…" Suddenly, the centaur leader laughed. He wasn't like a person that almost got himself killed. "It was a very good move. I really wanted to fight you truly. But… a promise is a promise. I lose. The centaur also agreed to it."

"What a powerful move. Even my prided shield get cleaved by it"

"I used more than half of my mana to block the leftover"

The principal finally relieved. Alex still looking at them without any expressions.

"All five leaders have agreed to help you. Please give us Life Water"

"You can't expect me to hand it to you after 'that' incident, right? What if you take back your promise? I think it still better for you to guide me to the Divine Tree. At that time, I will finally take it out"

"You-" The elven queen was angered at this point.

"Sigh, I think he is right. It was also our fault that the situation escalated like this." The titan leader said.

The elven queen started to calm down. Since the one who talked just now is the Titan leader who was in charge of protecting the Tree. Their five races were chosen for their roles. The Titan is in charge of protecting the Divine Tree, while the druid purpose is to maintain the Divine Tree, The dwarf is for their equipment, the Centaur is their shield and sword if the war coming, and she herself was to govern the entire races.

"Fine. Since the titan leader said so. But only you! He can't" The elven queen finally agreed, but only Alex can go in, while Florest needs to wait here. But Florest seems fine with it, maybe because he had been inside a few times? After all, he needs to help with the Divine Tree…Right? But, since it can only be like that, Alex agreed. Sherry also still inside him though, Even if they wanted to surround him once again, Sherry can help him too. After he agrees, All races leader suddenly walked toward their own thrones once again. They released their own mana. Suddenly, the ground surrounding the thrones were glowing. Alex narrowed his eyes. "Array?"

"Crack!"

Alex then turned to the sound. There seems to be a giant hidden door behind the elven queen throne. "Lilia, you stay too" Lilia wanted to protest but after glared by her mother, She can only accept it reluctantly. The principal take her and leave the room.

"This way, young human" The Titan said.

Alex nodded.

Six of them walked to the giant door. Alex looked at the giant door, he felt another invisible barrier blocking the way.

The druid leader noticed Alex's expression. "Haha, this is an invisible barrier that the ascender bestowed us, it was called 'Five Elements Defensive Array'. It can block many attacks from rank 9, whether they are warriors or magicians type. I'm sure you already know it since he is your 'Master'. We can open the barrier with the Elven Queen Staff as the key."

The druid leader still doubting if the ascender really Alex's Master. Well, it was to be expected since he is a figure from five thousand years ago. Alex walked closer to the invisible barrier.

"It's really from Master". Alex thought inwardly. This is one of the array types he excels the most. When the first time Maxwell taught him about Arrays. He asked Alex what type of Array that he wanted to learn first. Alex immediately gave him the answer. Illusion type, Barrier Type, and Defensive Type. Alex felt those three are the most practical for him at the moment. Without a doubt, Illusion Array was the most versatile. He can use it for a distraction or 'something' else. As for Barrier Type, he thought that if he can make a Barrier Type Array that can trap people inside and prevented any contact from the outside world. He can burn all the oxygen inside and let them choke out to death. As for the last type, Defensive Type. The thing Alex needed for the moment is defense. After killing numerous monsters, Alex concludes that the Offensive Type monsters are dangerous while the Defensive Type monsters are the most troublesome. He haven't met many monster type, maybe he will meet some illusion type of monster or something else.

Alex looked at the Array closely. He examined the array carefully. He felt many rank 9 materials supporting this array. That's why this array can hold many attacks from numerous rank 9 warriors/magicians. But…

"This array…" Alex muttered. Of course, all the leaders still heard him. They frowned, did he…

"Also exhausted like the Divine Tree. The materials needed to form this array were numerous. Because of it, it can hold so many attacks for 5000 years." Alex continued.

All the leaders present were shocked, their eyes widened. What he said is true. They also felt the invisible barrier weakened. But, because they didn't have any knowledge about this, they were helpless. But in front of them, a single youth managed to identify the problem with just touching it? At this moment, All of them were literally convinced. Alex is really the disciple of the Ascender.

"Young human, Alexander. Can you repair this barrier?" The Titan leader suddenly asked.

Alex pondered for a moment. This is a pinnacle of rank 1 defensive array. At present, he can't make it from scratch, but repairing it should be possible. He just needs to search the weakened part and exchange the material and reconnect some part of the arrays. But…

"If I have the materials. Repairing it should pose no problem. But…"

"But…" Not only the Titan Leader. The other leaders also gulped down. This barrier was one of the most important parts to protect the tree. Not only the Titan leader who was in charge of protecting the Divine Tree find this barrier is important. The other leaders also felt this barrier very important. They also can use the barrier in another way. They can make this place their last refuge place since the barrier can hold all attacks and only the five leaders can open this barrier.

"Why should I?"

"Young Human, Alexander. Please help us repairing this barrier. We are eternally grateful." The druid asked him.

"Eternally grateful? Just before, you all wanted to kill me. You said you are eternally grateful? What a joke. You are eternally grateful, it might be the same as your ancestor from five thousand years ago. But, your later descendant might become like you earlier."

"It was because…" The Elven Queen wanted to explain it to him. But Alex stopped her, "Because of what? Because you still don't know I am his disciple? If I recall, when I present the 'Life Water'. I'm sure that the Titan leader already knew I am his disciple, at least that is written in his words. I am sure that the most knowledgable Elven Queen must also know it, right?"

"I…" The Elven Queen was tongue-tied. She already predicted that Alex really is the ascender. According to the ancestors' words written in their archives. 'The remaining life of the Divine Tree is in the hands of our entire races savior. We beg him for that. He said that he will save keep it for now because our races aren't stable for the moment and the one chosen by him will take the 'Life Water' back to this race'.

That means because Alex brought the 'Life Water' with him to here. She already knew that Alex is 'his' disciple. But, she didn't know what to do. She was confused because of the words after it. 'The one chosen by him will give the prosperity'.

That's right. The 'Prosperity', it was a good thing if he brought prosperity. But the problem is who will be given that 'Prosperity'? The one in front of her is human youth. Will he give the 'Prosperity' to them? Or will he give the 'Prosperity' to humans? After all, they are from the same race. If he gives it to the humans and the humans prospered, what will happen to them? Will they also prosper along with them? Or will they be destroyed because the humans prospered? She can't risk it all as the leader of the entire race, it will be good if he hailed from one of their own races, but the problem is he not. That's why she wanted to kill him. But…not only that the youth in front of her was far stronger from her expectation. He said that he can also repair their last line of defense? She clenched her teeth. He only wanted them to help him to stop the war. If only their leaders come with him to stop the war. There won't be any casualty. If they accepted that at first and she didn't choose to do 'that' to him. Will he repair the barrier like when he saved her successor even though she was just a stranger to him? She bite her lower lips.

First, they can't kill him here, even if they somehow killed him, how about the 'Life Water'? Second, If he really can repair the array. That was a very good thing to them, After all, the Divine Tree and the Array were their biggest problem. But the problem is that Alex didn't want to do it. She resigned herself. She heard human love abduct elves because of their beauty, she live for their race. if with her sacrifice the race will prosper… With that in thought, She decided. Well, because she saw there is no lust in his eyes when he looked at her, he won't treat her that badly, right? Anyway, she has prepared for the worst thing.

"Young Alexander. Please help us" The titan leader also asked him.

"What can we do for you to help us?" The dwarf is bolder than the titan leader.

Alex shook his head. "It's not a matter of what you can do. I just don't want to do it"

"This…"

"Please…"

The Centaur leader never let out a sound from his mouth. He might be realized that he is a muscle brain, he might make the situation worse if he said anything inappropriate

But suddenly, a shocking scene appeared in there. The Elven Queen walk closer to him slowly and suddenly kneeled in front of him.
