BXBX NOVEL Chapter 543 The Waiting
"Wahahaha!" Zenith rolled midair as he watched the tragic faces of Pope and his party.
"Mischieeeevious… mischieevious… chichichichi!" The spatial fairies also laughed at their king and even praised him for his schemes.
"Hahahaha! Wait till I tell this all to the Master and his wife! In the future, I will tell this to my playmate too!" Zenith's face were filled with satisfaction as they watched how panicked the people on the screen were.
"As for these bags… let's deliver them to the master's wife as I still cannot connect to the master." Zenith said as he took the 'spoils' with him and continued to watch the Pope's party.
In the interim island, the Pope and the rest all scrambled to find anything to cover themselves. They have nothing but their underwear!
Not even their weapons nor space pouches were left with them at all!
In the end, they could only ask the knights to contact the people waiting in the harbor to bring them enough clothes.
With no other choice, the knight could only use his magic to create body armor using his earth elemental power and obey the orders.
Fortunately, the response immediately came and brought them enough clothes to wear.
When they finally resolved the matter, the faces of the Pope and the rest were gloomy. Are the heavens punishing them in their own way? Even so, this scheme is really despicable.
It did not leave them any shred of dignity at all!
Not only did their mere act of teleporting make them break into mana stone, but they were also humiliated by it!
"Let's head over… There's no sense to brood over the matter. The array has been faulty, to begin with." The Pope looked extremely constipated as he tried to console everyone.
The others, especially the four princes, could only swallow their grievances and anger. They could only quietly follow the Pope while trying to suppress the embarrassment in their hearts.
While it was quite an uncanny scene in the interim island, the mood on the holy island was actually heavy and tense.
In the temple square, the troops of the nine ordained captains were lined up in an organized manner.
In front of them, the administrators signaled the clerics and the servants to take out the cart full of space bags.
"Today, we will distribute everyone's rations and resources for the war. Everyone lines up and steps forward according to the number of your platoon." The administrators announced.
Abaddon and Gabriel, along with the allies, blended perfectly with the scene. They looked no different from the other curse users, even though they were really not tainted by any of it.
Only heaven knew how hard they racked their brains to solve every difficulty in such a place that was filled with wicked people. But today, their struggle is about to end, and they will finally move to fight these wicked ones.
Far from their place, Eli and Kayden appeared on the shoreline with the troops from the Green Wave continent.
They looked intently at the sky and calmly waited for the signal.
But just as any one of them opened their mouth to talk, a portal suddenly appeared in front of Eli and a tiny shimmering spatial fairy flew on her side.
"What brings you here, Zenith?" Eli knew that although the spatial fairy looked normal, the starry eyes of the fairy gave her the hint that he was communicating to her through the fairy.
"Chi… chi chi!!" On the outside, Kayden and the rest could only hear the fairy chirping adorably with inaudible syllables.
But looking at Eli's expression, it seemed like she understood.
It took a while before the serious expression of Eli broke into a stifled laugh, "Pfft! What really happened? Oh my goodness! I can't, I really can't!"
Eli's laughter shocked the entire party, they looked at her with a confused expressions. What news could the lady have possibly heard to make her laugh in such a situation like this?
"Chi chi chi!!" The fairy became more lively in narrating something to Eli. In the end, it used the magic again and gave Eli a bunch of spatial bags as well as holy garments and artifacts.
Seeing these things, the expression of the people around her changed. Because they recognize the garments given by the fairy to Eli.
In the end, Eli smiled and took these things in a separate space pouch only after examining each of the things well.
"Thank you so much, Zenith! You've been a great help to us!" Eli smiled and stretched out her index finger, gently patting the tiny fairy.
No one knew that the fairy she was patting at the moment was none other than the spatial king himself!
After a few moments, the spatial king retreated and Eli was left with the inquisitive gazes of Kayden and the rest.
Eli briefly told them what happened, just simply citing that she owed one favor to the spatial king due to Leon being contracted familiar.
The favor she asked was to inform her of any teleportation movements of the Pope and the rest so that she would know how much time they have left for the operation.
The men immediately understood and were grateful to the heavens for allowing Leon to contract the spatial king and also for Eli having one favor to ask of the mysterious being.
"Then the spatial king played a prank on them when it was the time for them to teleport from the continent to the interim Island…" Eli explained but she was clearly trying her best not to laugh at the moment.
"Then not only did the spatial king refuse to open the portal for them without using all their mana stones…he also had his subjects teleport them…. With nothing… but … underwear… Puhaha!!"
Eli could no longer hold on and burst into a hearty laugh.
It is known that she has personally encountered the Pope and Rachana. And so she could not help but envision their panicked and dark expression during that moment.
"Pfft!!!" Kayden could not maintain his serious expression as well, a few moments after realizing what happened, he laughed hard as well.
The next moment, Nalu and the rest of the Green Wave folks also covered their mouths and tried to hold their laughter in agony.
That was because, in their number, their simultaneous laughter would surely catch the attention of the people on the island.
It was only after some time that they managed to calm down after that laughing session. However, whenever one of them would imagine either one of the Vanderford Prince or the temple people in that scene, they would once again burst into laughter.
"Hahaha… alright alright… enough of this… What is more important was that we are now sure that they have no way of teleporting to the island that fast because they no longer have enough mana stones to spend.
What's more, the things we have retrieved on their side were not small. The Pope, the fake paladin, and the princes all had their war resources confiscated here… it would take them a long time to gradually recover the wealth they have lost during the teleportation process."
Eli pointed at the space pouch where she took all the items stolen from the Pope's party.
"This means that they will be a little poorer now…" Nalu and the rest concluded.
"We can't be that sure. We also have to know that they have storehouses outside the holy island. It is even highly possible that they have accumulated a lot of war resources in the Vanderford continent alone." Kayden said.
"The only advantage of this matter is our confidence that they have lost the ability to interfere until a week comes, as well as the strongest artifacts they have at the moment are in our possession," Eli explained.
"I see... Then we must really succeed in this operation." The rest replied, and the fun atmosphere was completely gone.
All of them furiously started at the holy island from far away and waited patiently.
"Do you think the headquarters also managed to gather enough forces to help us?" Eli then looked at his big brother Kayden and asked.
"I am not really sure… What's important is that we are able to set up the arrays on the shoreline. No matter what, we have given them the means to send reinforcements when the time comes." Kayden looked at Eli comfortingly.
In the end, they still had to face this alone and not be complacent about the fact that reinforcements will come. Because they knew that the battle on the mainland was also as serious as the battle here.
With the commotion on their end finally ending, the afternoon sky started to light up.
Waiting fervently for Gabriel and Abaddon's signal, Eli, Kayden and the rest held their respective weapons and prepared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"That's the three blasts!" Prince Nalu confirmed.
"It is time!" Kayden's eyes flashed in vigilance as he continued with a well-modulated voice,
"My Allies in Righteousness! Attack the wicked island!"
"Ohhhhh!!" Prince Nalu and the rest raised their hands valiantly and rushed toward the holy island!
