Chapter 652: Thunderstorm Archipelago
Elysia, Sylvia, and Vanessa did a short meditation to recover their magic energy. Every time the Earth God resealed their magic energy, they started over from zero Earth\'s magic energy again, which was troublesome.
"Hm, it\'s almost midnight. The banquet is over and Victor hasn\'t come yet. Fwaah..." Elysia looked at the clock on the wall and yawned.
"Well, if that black bird isn\'t here after midnight, then you just need to leave a letter for her, Ely. We can\'t wait for her until tomorrow." Sylvia looked at the crescent moon in the sky with a distant gaze.
"Mm, let\'s wait for her for a few more minutes." Elysia agreed with that and went to sit on the bed.
The formation on the floor had disappeared, and Vanessa went around the room once more. She had to make sure there were no suspicious or dangerous items in the room.
*Clack*
It was midnight, and there was no sign of Victor. Therefore, Elysia immediately wrote a letter and put it on the ceiling. She wrapped it in a subtle barrier that only rank seven espers or above could detect.
"Shall we go now?" Sylvia put her hand on Elysia\'s arm.
"Mm, please hug Vann for me. I will open a dimensional portal to the underworld. Or, maybe it will be teleportation again." Elysia handed Vanessa over to Sylvia\'s care.
"Leave it to me." Sylvia hugged Vanessa with her other hand.
"Meow." Vanessa looked for a comfortable position and nestled there. It was just a zap, and they would arrive in the underworld. Teleportation wasn\'t scary when compared to traveling at the speed of light.
\'Rhea, what I need to do to go to the underworld is the same as the previous technique, right?\' Elysia asked before acting just to be sure.
\'En, the technique is the same. However, I don\'t know why you triggered the instant teleportation technique instead, Master Elysia. I\'m not very good at teleportation so I can\'t explain why.\' Rhea still felt a little confused about it.
She asked her mother before, but she only got a few possibilities because her mother had no idea what kind of condition Elysia was facing.
\'Don\'t sweat it. Let\'s think of it as a miracle. Teleportation to other realms wasn\'t bad either. As long as it works, that\'s fine.\' Elena summed up the trivial matter. She didn\'t really care if it was instant teleportation or a dimensional portal.
"En, we will leave now." Elysia gave a notification. She wrapped herself and Sylvia in a protective barrier before trying to sense the location of the marker she had left in the underworld.
It was just like a blink of an eye, and they instantly disappeared from the room without a trace.
A few hours later, a purplish-black raven with a long tail and the size of an eagle landed outside the window of the room where Elysia had previously been.
\'Hehe, this is much faster than expected.\' Victor looked at a large pouch that she was carrying with her claws. She then pecked at the window, but she got no response at all.
\'Wait, I\'m sure Elysia\'s scent and aura are in this room. It\'s quite subtle, but I\'m completely sure.\' Victor checked the entire room, but she couldn\'t feel any signs of life, including in the bathroom.
\'Has Elysia left this place? She left without saying anything, and just left me like that? But, that can\'t explain her presence aura in this room. Did something happen?\' Victor punched a hole in the window for herself to enter.
She then scanned the entire room once more, but she really couldn\'t find anyone there but herself.
"Hmm?" Victor saw a white mini dome stuck to the ceiling. That was the source of Elysia\'s aura that she felt. Out of curiosity, she flew over there to check what it was.
It was just a light touch. The mini-dome suddenly crumbled into tiny shards and vanished into particles. A letter falls from there.
"Hm? This is unmistakable. This is a letter from Elysia to me." Victor immediately grabbed the letter and landed near her treasure pouch. She tore the envelope and read the contents of Elysia\'s letter.
Sentence by sentence and paragraph by paragraph. Every word in the letter made Victor more angry and annoyed. Not to anyone but to an ignorant, presumptuous individual who dared to throw a cheap rotten scheme at Elysia. She didn\'t know who did it because Elysia didn\'t mention it, but she would soon find out who it was.
"How dare that lowly human! Elysia might be willing to forgive that criminal by giving a light punishment, but that won\'t work with me. Even though God will forgive you, but I have to lead you to God\'s side! I will make you and your entire family suffer if Elysia gets hurt! My sanctuary bracelet is still on her, too, aaa! Morgan Family, can\'t you do something as easy as entertaining a guest of honor and ensuring her safety!?" Victor immediately flew out and headed for where the mansion\'s host was.
That night, a great commotion occurred due to a holy night bird raging in anger. The Morgan Family found it really difficult to quell Victor\'s wrath, but they managed it nonetheless.
Morgan Family had no other choice but to comply with the bird\'s conditions regarding severe punishment to the criminal who dared to target Elysia. After all, Elysia was targeted in that assassination attempt because a third party wanted the Morgan Family to suffer a fatal problem. Yet, they could not agree to the massacre of an entire family for many reasons.
The involved victim was not aware of that chaos. On the other side of Earth\'s human realm, Elysia and Sylvia were exploring the underworld without the Earth God\'s magic seal. They shot in invisibility across the dark sky towards the point where Rhea had previously sensed Xero\'s subtle aura.
\'Ely, you want to skip sleeping two days in a row? Let\'s take turns with me. You can take everyone in free fall if you keep pushing yourself against the drowsiness.\' Elena suggested with a gentle tone.
\'But, you will also feel the same drowsiness if you take over Elysia\'s body, Elena\'s Master. It\'s not just a matter of mental exhaustion, it\'s physical as well.\' Rhea stated the obvious.
\'Hng... I can refresh myself and get rid of sleepiness with magic. right?\' Elysia rubbed her eyes.
\'You will only make the backlash worse when the magic effect is released. Be a good girl and listen to me. Oh wait, Rhea is sensible. I\'ll go out now and take care of you, Ely. Stop your flight now.\' Elena had a brilliant idea and immediately left Elysia\'s Soul Realm.
Elysia obeyed and stopped their flight.
"Hmm?" Sylvia and Vanessa were a bit confused by their abrupt stop. Yet, they immediately understood when they noticed Elysia\'s sleepy expression.
Sylvia had just opened her mouth to speak, but lots of golden light particles suddenly appeared and gathered behind Elysia. That golden light quickly took the form of the Goddess of Light.
Elana immediately carried Elysia in a princess carry without any prior notice.
"Kya!" Elysia yelped. However, her face was instantly immersed in something soft, comfortable, and fragrant. She immediately blushed fiercely to look at Elena\'s face.
"Hum-mm, you\'re being a naughty girl and won\'t listen to me, hmm? You\'ve reached your limit and need some sleep. I\'ll take over this trip." Elena ran her finger in Elysia\'s hair and pushed the hair away from Elysia\'s face.
"I\'ll obey, I\'ll sleep. Is it fine if I sleep in a sleeping bag and fly with the others? Sylvi and Vann haven\'t slept since yesterday either." Elysia makes up an excuse to run away from Elena\'s arms. She just felt so embarrassed if Elena hugged her to sleep on a trip like this.
"They have good endurance, and they will sleep after this. The only problem is that you have reached your limit, and need to rest immediately. For your proposal, it cannot be realized as I am sure you will not sleep then. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Close your eyes and let your beloved master take care of you. It\'s been a while since we had a skinship, right?" Elena put her index finger to Elysia\'s lips. She didn\'t want to hear no or anything other than yes.
"Mm." Elysia just nodded and took a deep breath. She then closed her eyes and left herself under Elena\'s care.
"Fufu..." Elena chuckled lightly with a warm smile. She was always satisfied whenever she saw Elysia\'s sleeping face.
She gave Elysia a slight head pat and hugged Elysia a little tighter. "Let\'s continue our journey."
"Ah-uh, okay." Sylvia just nodded with a slight blush on her face. Elysia and the Goddess of Light were so close that she even thought they were mother and daughter or perhaps sisters.
Elena then took over everything and took everyone off towards the southeast. Rhea became the navigator using shared vision, but it was still Elena who needed to periodically scan the surroundings in search of Xero\'s aura.
After two hours of searching at an impressive acceleration speed, they arrived at an archipelago shrouded in a purple-blue thunderstorm. The clouds were so black in the sky, and lightning continued to strike the islands and seas. The islands were also seen coated with high-voltage electricity.
There were no living things to be seen at a glance. Still, millions of dark-colored floating little orbs were scattered throughout the archipelago. For the rest, it couldn\'t be detected from afar.
"This is the place, huh... So, where is that Evil God now?" Elena muttered and checked once again if her layered barrier could perfectly muffle sound and lightning strikes or not.
After that, she looked closely at the thunderstorm archipelago.
