Chapter 282: Nell is in Peril (2)
"All right, let\'s go. We\'ll think and face this together." Elena fully understood the gravity of the situation. She decided on immediate action without beating around the bush.
"But if we go, Miss Ariel will know that. Not to mention, Evelyn too... They will be anxious, and I don\'t know what kind of excuse to make of it." Elysia got a different thought when she realized Ariel was watching her in silence. Then, she glanced at the girl sleeping next to her and the curled white cat.
Elena glanced at the outside with advanced perception. Sure enough, Ariel sat on the sofa, staring and waiting for Elysia, who was hiding under the covers. "Then what\'s the plan? We need to act immediately, right?"
"I have an idea. Sister Elena, please disguise yourself as me, and I will become the Goddess of Light to save Nell. I just-" Elysia suggested what she thought was the best, but Elena immediately refuted it.
"No, denied, it\'s too dangerous too. If so, let me go to save Nell. Or, we both go, and we\'ll think about an excuse later." Elena held both sides of Elysia\'s head so that the latter would look her in the eye.
Elysia stared at Elena\'s golden eyes for a moment. Still, it was not the time to be dazzled or to linger in the discussion. "But, but, I\'ll just go to save Nell, and then leave. I\'ll try not to get involved in a God-class battle. Come, get Nell, and run away without further ado."
"No, you\'re underestimating that, Ely. If you insist, then I\'ll go, and you stay here, so the girls don\'t worry about you." Elena was firm with her decision because she didn\'t want to see her sweet little sister hurt again.
"But, I\'m afraid. You were exhausted just from using too much magic the other day. I\'m afraid that our spirit form that came out of the Soul Realm has certain limitations. I\'m aware of your worries Sister Elena, but so am I. I\'m sorry about my panic earlier, but let me go to get Nell and come right back. Okay?" Elysia touched Elena\'s hand with a reassuring smile.
On the other hand, Elena loosened her shoulders and felt a little weak because it was true. She was indeed exhausted just because she kept using magic to keep Elysia out of the death zone.
Not to mention when she left Soul Realm to become the Goddess of Light and played all the scenes plus the meteor. She had a strong urge to rest in the Soul Realm that was overflowing with comfortable energy. So, a limit for the separated spirit, huh...
Elena stared deep into Elysia\'s purplish-blue eyes, and saw the confidence radiating from Elysia\'s face. After wrestling with her own thoughts, Elena let out a sigh and grabbed Elysia\'s hand. "Promise me, Ely. Please don\'t get into unnecessary battles, and don\'t get hurt or careless like before. Then come back here as soon as possible, and don\'t grant any strange requests from That puny, little Goddess. Just save her and take her away."
"I promise. But, please help me because we can still exchange words with our spiritual connections. I need advice and opinions for a quick decision later." Elysia nodded and gently stroked the worried girl\'s cheek.
"It came without being asked, Ely." Elena smiled and kissed the dainty hand that touched her cheek.
"Wha-" Elysia blushed instantly, but Elena immediately took action.
"Let\'s do that now, hurry up and act. I will go out and disguise my form to replace you. However, you must immediately return to your body and become invisible." After saying that, Elena kissed Elysia on the cheek and immediately fled out of the Soul Realm.
"Wa, wawawa..." Elysia stuttered with a flush crept up her face, but she shook her head a moment after. She knew Elena just wanted to make her more relaxed and not fixated on saving Nell.
After that, she left her Soul Realm and made her body invisible. Well, she and Elena also manipulated their clothes with magic. The practical novelty to transform their dresses with magic.
Elena immediately replaced Elysia\'s role, and Elysia changed her form to Elena. After that, they got out of bed together.
Ariel blinked her eyes in confusion because she felt something was odd, but she couldn\'t pinpoint what it was. She just looked at \'Elysia\' and tilted her head slightly. Whereas the girl in question was staring at the window in a daze?
\'Please be careful on your way, Ely. Remember your promise, and please come back soon.\' Elena wished Elysia all the best. She was now wearing comfortable pajamas and Elysia in a dazzling white gold dress, clothes from magic to replace their original clothes.
Elysia looked at the dress on her body. The pajamas she was wearing earlier became Elena\'s dress just by magic. It was really amazing, and it worked really well as Elena expected, their new discovery.
\'Yes, I\'ll be right back, Sister Elena, but please keep in touch with me. Naughty sister, you kissed my cheek like that.\' Elysia pouted a little, but there was no complaint in her expression.
\'Hum, then hurry back, and you can return my favor. Um, you can kiss your big sister\'s cheek in return.\' Elena chuckled with delight, but the expression on her face didn\'t change just because of Ariel.
\'Mischievous, improper, obscene, so shameless! Wuwuwu... I\'m leaving for a moment!\' Elysia immediately flew through the window like a ghost.
\'We are sisters. What\'s wrong with the affection between sisters? It\'s just a kiss on the cheek. You won\'t get any harm from it.\' Elena went on to tease her adorable little sister. She honestly had a fondness for seeing Elysia\'s blushing expression.
Elysia responded with a few grievances and whines, but Elena listened to it all with a warm heart. Then, Elena shut her eyes and clasped her hands in prayer.
"Miss Elysia, what happened? Do you need anything?" Ariel drew closer to Elena in a soft, worried whisper.
Elena just opened her eyes to Ariel and shook her head slightly. She went to the long sofa and moved it to face the window. After that, she sat down and clasped her hands in prayer while closing her eyes again.
If that needs to be said, she just didn\'t want her concentration to be distracted while talking to Elysia through their spiritual connection.
Ariel became even more anxious without knowing anything, but not to the point where she needed to act. She peeked out the window. The dark, clouded sky without any light shrouded the night.
If the Goddess\'s disciple was haunted by anxiety like this, something must be happening out there. She didn\'t know what it was and how it was, but she was sure it wasn\'t trivial.
As if influenced by the praying girl, Ariel sat beside \'Elysia\' and clasped her hands in prayer. She recited several prayers and chanted benedictions in her mind for the Goddess of Blessings. Her faith, her belief, and her devotion... She implored and wished all good things to happen.
Meanwhile, Elysia had just shot out of the southern city gate and flew southwest. She confirmed the direction of the yellowish spirit thread she felt from her upper dantian, then used a tremendous speed to get to the intended location.
\'Hope you\'re all right, Nell. Hopefully, I\'ll be there on time.\' Elysia put her hand on her upper chest then used warmth magic on her. She felt pretty cold despite being protected by an advanced spherical barrier. It didn\'t come from outside, but from within herself.
The Goddess of Light, in invisible magic, darted along her flight route until she left Human Continent and entered Devil Continent.
It was like blinking, and she arrived several thousands kilometers away. She stopped several times to ascertain the direction of her destination before continuing her flight.
A bit further southwest, a battle took place in the dark sky of a desert and barren land. Between the towering rocky mountains and steep cliffs, a giant ball of shadow hovered hundreds of meters in the air.
The temperature grew colder the closer it got to the giant shadow ball. Even ice flakes and snowflakes could be seen everywhere, like winter.
Black mist radiated from the giant shadow ball and spread to various directions. It influenced the clouds and reached tens of thousands of kilometers away... The true mastermind behind the lightless night sky and the chilly night on several parts of two continents.
Near that gigantic shadow ball, two divine powers were opposing each other. They caused a violent clash that could shake the continent.
*Bang!*
"Shiro, you defector! How can you abandon your path of divinity and embrace that cursed power!? Cough..." Nell shouted after being blown several tens of meters from the impact of the clash. Too bad, she coughed up blood once again because she was on the losing side from the start.
"This is the umpteenth time I\'ve heard that ugly nickname, and the umpteenth time I remind you that it\'s not my name, Little Firefly." A large, muscular man recaptured his black scythe with no effort. He looked at the little Goddess with a complicated gaze once again, albeit for a brief moment.
"Then, that\'s not my name either!" Nell raised her voice in exasperation.
"I need to hit your head real hard. Let me bring your senses back. The Shiro I know wouldn\'t do such a cruel and terrible thing to gain more strength. Answer me, how many souls have you sacrificed for that power. Also, why did you have the power of the cursed creatures that ravaged our world over a hundred thousand years ago?" Nell wiped the blood from her mouth and tried to heal herself. She was already severely injured just from the battle against her old acquaintance for one hour.
