Chapter 398: Blazing Fire Winged Tiger
Regulus watched the three Goddesses leave with mixed feelings. Broadly speaking, he would send his descendants far away to be punished but with a chance to avoid that.
Who would have thought that the incident eleven years ago would turn out this way? The revenge of the defeated clan by involving three divine beings.
After sighing, Regulus flew down to further inform his distant descendants about several things, including what they should do later to avoid the Goddesses\' wrath.
"You gave me quite many troublesome things. If my divine blood didn\'t flow in stupid lions like you guys, then obviously, I\'ll be the one to annihilate you with these claws of mine." Regulus bared his fangs and intimidated with his reddish-black claws.
"All glory belongs to you, Beast God Ancestor! Please forgive this foolish descendant of yours, but we are doing all that is to unite this continent in one system of government." Ernest knelt down respectfully, and all of his clan members also followed suit.
"That\'s what you told me eleven years ago. You think it\'s necessary? I just need to talk, and all the beasts will gladly obey my orders. So, why is the government system useless like that? The Beast Race will obey and submit to the strong, and that is their natural instinct." Regulus sighed once again.
In his heart, he was reluctant to help this stupid distant descendant of him. If it wasn\'t for the plea of one of his wives, then he would obviously turn a blind eye when he found out that a divine being had come to wreak havoc in this forest city.
Well, he would probably just ask for massive compensation after the incident was over and the tension subsided.
After hearing some nonsense and other words of praise, Regulus shared a bit about the outcome of the peace agreement between himself and the three Goddesses. Literally, it was a warning and a reminder. He left the rest of the affairs of strategy and so on to that stupid distant descendant.
On the east side of Brisline Woodland, Elysia made a spectator seat for her own group using her imagination magic.
This time, no one was hiding under the blanket of invisibility. The baby Rhea went into the Nature Realm while Jimmy and Gio were ready to watch what would happen with the Goddesses on a bench.
At that moment, not a single beast had come to watch. So, Elysia and Elena used the opportunity to ask for Lifa\'s cooperation to try to revive Vanessa\'s father at Vanessa and Jimmy\'s request.
Lifa was brought back into the world via a portal. The red Energy Core was prepared to be used as a catalyst in the Spirit Summoning Ritual.
"Are you sure, Vann, Jimmy? If we succeed, maybe it\'ll just take on a semi-form like Jimmy." Elysia asked for confirmation to be sure before they started.
"En, I think that\'s for the best, master. My father\'s body is resting beside my mother\'s grave. Jimmy and I couldn\'t bear to dig our father\'s grave just to revive him for half a day." Vanessa nodded in agreement.
"Hum-hum!" Jimmy repeatedly nodded to convey his full agreement.
On the side of Vanessa and Jimmy, Theo and Leila looked up in surprise to see a small tree that could talk. But, they were just silent because they also wanted to see Zach alive again, even if only for a moment. At least, Zach needed to see this battle of revenge so he could rest in peace in the world of the dead.
"Alright, let\'s hope this works and your father\'s spirit is still there to be summoned to the world of the living." Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She went right to Lifa\'s side and prepared to help out for the Spirit Summoning Ritual.
Elena would also help, but from within the Soul Realm because this time, it would be easier because this ritual had been done before.
After receiving the signal from Elysia, Lifa immediately used her magic to create a ritual circle in the air, and the red Energy Core floated along with it. Elysia was soon there to help with most of the work.
Lifa was a little surprised because it seemed that Elysia no longer needed instructions or guidance from her. Perhaps, this girl could use the Spirit Summoning Ritual without her help with just one try?
Whatever it was, Lifa immediately started the ritual when everything was ready. "O the Absolute Law of the heaven and the universe, heed my words. The mortal dies, and the divinity comes to summon the spirit that wanders in the realm of the dead. Allow the spirit of this Energy Core to return to the world by my will. Spirit summons!"
*Rumble*
The energy fluctuations in the air suddenly became chaotic, and the air temperature rose by several degrees. Small rumblings and lightning flashed slightly from the ritual circle due to the turbulence of the energy.
It lasted for thirty seconds until the ritual circle spun and shrunk with the Energy Core as the axis. It was slightly longer than Jimmy\'s summoning ritual.
"Don\'t feel about and happy just yet. This may not work. Stay focused, and there should be no mistakes in this ritual!" Lifa immediately reminded as Elysia heaved a sigh of relief.
Thus, both Elysia and Elena refocused at once. They supplied their magic energy again to the ritual circle until everything was completely finished.
A moment later, the ritual circle melted, and it enveloped the red Energy Core to form a tiny body.
*Poof*
A reddish gold winged tiger, like a blazing fire, appeared in the air. He was curled up like he was sleeping. This winged tiger was similar to Jimmy, semi-transparent and tiny, very much like a tiger cub.
Vanessa\'s eyes were a little teary, and so was Jimmy. There were too many words they wanted to say to welcome their father\'s arrival, but not even a single word could come out of their mouths.
"Hoaammm..." The blazing fire tiger opened his red eyes only to stare at the twilight sky. It was a different sight from what he was used to seeing in the last eleven or so years.
He wasn\'t immediately sure what he saw in his eyes. Because of that, he rubbed his eyes because maybe he just saw wrong.
However, the scenery of the one he saw did not change. It wasn\'t a boundless night sky full of stars, but a twilight sky with clouds?
"Welcome to the world of the living, Zach, the once Emperor of the Glaidan Region." Elysia gave a short greeting after closing the portal at Lifa\'s request.
"Huh? What- Ow!" Zach turned to the source of the sound, but at the same time, he fell to the ground due to gravity.
Even so, he immediately got up and looked at the six-winged Golden Goddess with a reverence look. "What, what do you mean by that, o the divine? Have I reincarnated and come back to life? It\'s faster than I thought."
"Reincarnated? Hm, it\'s not like that. You\'ve just been revived into the world of Vrelenia again for half a day. Isn\'t it about time you gave a greeting to your two dearest children? Your daughter will avenge your death, you know?" Elysia used her palm to point at Vanessa and the winged tigers.
Seeing that, Zach immediately turned around. He saw a big white winged tiger and a little black semi-transparent winged tiger. Then, a little further away, there were two large brown winged tigers.
He looked at the little tiger\'s yellow eyes, then the white tiger\'s blue eyes. For some reason, he felt that he had a very close relationship with these two tigers.
After reminiscing about the past, he finally remembered the two children he entrusted to his two confidants when he was about to fight to the death because of the vile deeds of the fire lions.
"Could it be, could it be that you are my daughter, Vanessa? And, you are my son, Jimmy? Me, I really came back to life? A Goddess brought me back to life at your request?" Zach widened his eyes as if he couldn\'t believe what he saw.
But, he couldn\'t help but believe his instincts and hunches. So, he really was brought back to life to the world of the living.
"Yes, father... *sob* *sob* Welcome back. I miss you so much, father. I, together with Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila, will avenge your death. We will also make those fire lions pay for their sins for destroying our clan." Vanessa sobbed as she spoke. But, she tried her best to look steady.
Jimmy felt the same way as his big sister. However, he expresses it a little differently.
"Hola, yo the father of mine. Long time no see. I was looking for you in the world of the dead, but I couldn\'t find you anywhere. Please tell me where you are. That way, maybe tomorrow I can visit you so we can wait our turn together while talking about many things." Jimmy came over and put his arm around his father\'s shoulders.
"Huh, wait... What do you mean by that? Eh, why am I a bit transparent. Then, don\'t I look so tiny now? Besides, what do you mean by revenge for my death, my daughter, Vanessa? Please don\'t tell me you\'re going to attack the Pyrogressive Lion Clan." Zach was completely enveloped in confusion.
There were too many surprising things to comprehend, and his thinking capabilities couldn\'t process them all at once.
