Chapter 443: Elysian Pantheon?
Chapter 443: Elysian Pantheon?
Nell looked around and sighed. The death toll that fell in this short attack was also not small. She grieved, but they still died honorable deaths.
The imperial knight elite battalion was there to help. The Emperor of the Holy Central Region, Arthur, immediately rushed over to the Goddess of Blessings to salute him on his knees. "Arthur faces the Goddess of Blessings. All the devils have been completely annihilated."
"Mm." Nell just gave a slight nod and held out her hand to Arthur. "Holy Light, Purify."
"Hmm?" Arthur felt he was suddenly enveloped by an extra comfortable, warm glow of golden light. All stains of blood, dirt, or dust disappeared from his body and armor.
"This afternoon, we will be holding a funeral for the knight who died with honor." After saying that, Nell flew closer to Elysia.
"Ely, that was-" Ella glanced at the Goddess of Blessings and Elysia several times in a turn. Her feelings are mixed now.
"Erm, I think I\'ve met that girl before. But where, hmm? Her name sounds quite familiar. Lucie?" Evelyn put her hand to her chin. She tried to remember someone who looked like the purple-eyed devil earlier.
"We\'ve met her before. Do you remember that night? A suspicious girl we met at dusk on our way to the Holy Cathedral. She was in a dark alley, alone." Elysia sighed. She didn\'t expect the twist of the event that had just happened. Elena previously couldn\'t believe it either.
"She\'s gone? Because of that evil spirit? That evil spirit has also perished, right?" Evelyn muttered in a whisper-like voice. She finally remembered the girl.
"Yeah, that innocent girl has been gone ever since that evil spirit used a forbidden technique to transcend all boundaries to have temporary Emperor-level strength." Elysia looked around.
The Holy Cathedral\'s barrier slowly disappeared. More than a thousand knights could be seen immediately rushing to deal with the aftermath of the battle earlier.
"But, that evil spirit\'s wrath is also not without reason, right? He fell in love with humans, but that ended in tragedy. Everyone will also be angry, no matter devil or not, if their loved ones are killed, right?" Sylvia questioned Elysia with a worried face.
Elysia took a deep breath and answered. "Mm, you are right. That evil spirit has the right to take revenge, but that is the decision of his loved one. The Goddess of Blessings and the Holy Cathedral also have the right to stop evil by giving them release for judgment in hell. You\'ll get details about that later, Sylvi."
"Mm." Sylvia just nodded softly. She also realized that it was true. After all, that evil spirit had already committed a grave crime.
Nell came and floated right in front of Elysia. "Ely, out of the 277 holy knights and priests, 39 are dead, 3 are dying, 37 are seriously injured, and 84 are lightly injured. Will you help me to give aid to these 40 people with the most fatal injuries? I wish them the lowest possible risk for their healing."
"Understood." Elysia nodded in understanding.
\'Well, our little Goddess doesn\'t seem willing to waste too much energy healing the victims. That\'s why she asked us for help.\' Elena folded her arms with a snort as if she knew what Nell had in mind.
\'That\'s fine, Sister Elena. It\'s natural for someone to ask for help.\' Elysia smiled wryly to hear Elena\'s random prejudice.
After that, Nell went with Elysia to the holy knight with the worst injuries. But strangely, the dying man just sat relaxed while leaning against the wall as if he didn\'t care that his stomach was no longer whole.
"You look so relaxed. How do you feel now?" Nell gave Alexander a slight nod and floated closer to the dying holy knight general.
"I\'m not bleeding anymore. I\'ll probably be fine in a few days at the Medical Center." Patrick glanced at his stomach with a neutral look as if it was just a minor wound. He then sighed sadly as his treasured golden armor shattered like paper before that black greatsword.
"You can say that only because you are still under my magical care. It will be completely different if I revoke it. Do you wish for a complete recovery, brave holy knight?" Nell shook her head with a faint smile. She removed the slight effect of her magic, and the holy knight hissed in pain with an extra pale face.
"Allow me to receive your blessings, o the Goddess of Blessings. I only use this body and soul to uphold justice and honor your divinity. Allow this servant to recover so that he can quickly carry out all your orders." Patrick gave a slight bow of respect.
"Very well. However, I will also use this opportunity to teach my half-disciple Elysia about high-level healing magic. Are you ready?" Nell asked for confirmation and asked Elysia to walk over.
Elysia and Elena were slightly surprised that it was not only a request for help but also an advanced magic teaching. Rhea looked up at Elysia\'s face, and the latter just stroked Rhea\'s head in return.
"I\'m ready any time." Patrick lay facing the sky as if giving up his body for experimentation.
Elysia sat in seiza position next to the dying holy knight, and Nell landed on her shoulder. Meanwhile, Rhea just watched with an innocent look as if she wasn\'t involved, or rather, wasn\'t allowed to get involved.
"You will probably lose at least a year of your lifespan as the price of healing your damaged and evil energy-contaminated organs. You can watch your healing progress if you want." Nell studied the wound for a moment and told the patient the after-effects of this healing magic.
"Two years is a trifle. I still have a few hundred more years to serve you as your faithful servant, o the Goddess of Blessings." Patrick put the cloth to his mouth. He didn\'t want to scream or hissed in pain as he realized that the one who would heal him was not only the Goddess of Blessings but the apprentice!
\'Alright, Ely, this is probably similar to normal healing magic. But the main difference is here. We will use your magic energy after my first demo, so pay attention to me properly. The first thing you need to do is-\' Nell started teaching Elysia practically straight away for a reason in mind.
It didn\'t take more than half a minute. Elysia immediately started performing advanced healing magic to heal the seriously injured holy knight.
Nell looked at the green light from the healing magic that Elysia was using with a complex gaze. For some reason, she felt was defeated by this young girl. Her magic was once again mastered in seconds...
Nell had absolutely no idea that Elysia already had experience in this field. Elysia or Elena only needed direction and theory since their magic and level of mastery was unique.
\'Never mind, Little Nell. You don\'t have to feel sad. after all, Elysia is also your master, no?\' Rhea stroked Nell\'s back with her delicate finger.
\'Hmm, I know that. But, I taught Elysia. So, am I not the master one?\' Nell pursed her lips.
\'Arara? But, Elysia is my master, and so is Elena. Do you want to reverse the hierarchy? You may not realize it, but we\'re already Elysia\'s, erm, I mean, part of the Elysian Pantheon!\' Rhea cheered with passion in mind. She was careful that neither Elysia nor Elena could hear the telepathy.
\'Pa-Pantheon? Including Lifa? But, why not Elena instead?\' The corner of Nell\'s lips twitched to hear her big sister\'s silly declaration.
\'Yup, and all part of our group is going to be a part of it.\' Rhea glanced at Elysia\'s face briefly to ensure the latter was still focused on healing the patient.
Then, she continued in a soft whisper via telepathy. \'You know, Master Elena is very obedient to Master Elysia. Mother once told me that Elena couldn\'t live without Elysia, but it wasn\'t the other way around.
So, even though Elysia and Elena are the \'two-in-one\' Goddess, we know who is dominant there. I wonder what Elysia\'s private realm is like now. It must be a very impressive and excellent realm, but no one ever said anything about it... Elena really enjoyed being there, didn\'t she? As it is now.\'
\'I-I see... That\'s a new information thing for me.\' Nell was taken back. She just found out about it. Then, she looked at Elysia\'s face with some thoughts in mind.
\'Now that I think about it. Elysia and Elena have far more mysteries than I ever imagined. What are their real identities, huh?\' Nell muttered in a mosquito-like voice. She is not aware that she is still connected to her big sister\'s telepathy channel.
\'I don\'t know, Little Nell. But, we will get to know them more closely as time goes on. We have plenty of time for that.\' Rhea responded with a smile on her face.
\'But, we need to eradicate those accursed monsters first.\' Nell reminded.
\'I\'m sure we\'ll get through it as long as the savior is here. Tragedy like a hundred thousand years ago will never happen again. But, we need to equip Elysia and Elena with tons of divine magic. They master things quickly, and that\'s very profitable for us.\' Rhea patted Nell\'s back with her finger again. She smiled brightly after that.
No one was aware of it. Elena was doing multitasking to eavesdrop on Rhea and Nell\'s conversation, as well as assisting Elysia. But, it was discovered by Elysia nevertheless.
\'Naughty girl. Please don\'t eavesdrop too much on their private conversations. They did that in purpose so as not to offend us, Sister Elena.\' Elysia reminded with a gentle approach.
\'I just curious, that\'s all. Who would have thought that Lifa said that to her daughter. But, Ely, if I can\'t live without you, do you have the same feelings as me?\' Elena simply pushed aside all the information she caught and focused on the one thing that bothered her the most.
\'I\'m already too comfortable with you around, Sister Elena. I don\'t know what I would do if you weren\'t by my side, with me. Please don\'t leave me no matter what. I promise you, that we will always be together, for all trials, problems, delights, and anything in life or what will await us later. Please promise me the same, Sister Elena.\' Elysia ended her healing magic because the patient was cured. However, her heart seemed to stop beating when she imagined that Elena was no longer around.
"My promise to you remains the same. I am your guardian angel who will follow you forever. Let\'s face what awaits us together." Elena declared her promise with a dazzling smile. She wiped a tear from her eye with a surge of relief and happiness.
After that, Elysia and Nell healed another 39 dying patients before entering the Holy Cathedral with the group. Arthur and Alexander also came in.
