Chapter 663: Ascension to Heaven Realm
When Elysia\'s group arrived at the military base, they were guided to a meeting room because someone was already waiting for them.
A big old man in military uniform was already waiting there, with several senior experts and team elites.
"Grandfather, you arrived much sooner than I thought." Erina immediately put on her gloves and went to hug her grandfather.
"Thank goodness, thank heavens you\'re okay. We flew at maximum speed to get here." Mitsuzuka just hugged his granddaughter tightly. He felt very grateful and happy to see his granddaughter in good condition.
Elysia looked at Sylvia and vice versa. They just smiled in silence and waited for the reunion to take place.
Moments later, Erina took a step back, and her grandfather also released her.
"Thank you for saving my granddaughter from those criminals, Elysia, Sylvia. We owe you so much for this." Mitsuzuka didn\'t hesitate to give a bow of gratitude.
"That\'s not a problem, General Mitsuzuka-sama. Despite all that, have those bad guys been interrogated?" Elysia waved her hand in front of her face.
"Yeah, they are a group of traitors from the militaries of various countries who are working with a big boss of a drug dealer in Russia. The investigation and interrogation process is still ongoing." Mitsuzuka straightened his back and nodded.
"All right, then... Erina-san, can you return my smartphone? I want to show something to your grandfather and all. It might not be much, but it might be useful." Elysia extended her hand towards Erina.
"Um, sure." Erina returned Elysia\'s smartphone. After that, she spoke to a soldier behind her. "Has my phone number been recovered? I want it now."
"Yes, Erina-sama. The card is already on the table over there. A spare smartphone has also been provided as per your request." The soldier pointed his hand at the table.
"Thank You." Erina nodded and went to get that smartphone. She had to reset all her accounts and make sure her contacts recovered.
It would be a problem if she lost all of it, especially Elysia\'s contact number. This number was the one stored on Elysia\'s smartphone, after all.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened. A girl in a white uniform looked so desperate for something. Still, she immediately felt relief when she noticed Erina was in the room.
"Erina-sama, Erina-sama, I, I\'m so grateful to see the tone is in good condition. It was all my fault... I\'ve failed as your private bodyguard. Due to my negligence, you were misled by that traitor and kidnapped. I deserve severe punishment. No, let me pay for my sins with my life!" Mio knelt before Erina to express everything she was feeling. Yet, she took out a small dagger as if she was about to commit suicide.
"M-Mio!" Erina exclaimed in complete shock.
However, Elysia suddenly kicked Mio\'s arm from behind, and the dagger was grabbed by Sylvia.
"Have you lost your mind? If you want to atone for your sins, then there are a thousand ways for you to make amends for what happened to Erina-san. Suicide is just an act to escape from responsibilities and problems. Are you so cowardly, and you would do that in front of us? Please calm yourself down, Mio-san." Elysia gave a little lecture.
"Sshhh, shh, I\'m fine, thanks to Elysia-san and Sylvia-san. Don\'t blame yourself too much for failing to protect me, Mio. None of us would have thought that someone from the elite team would betray us for purely personal gain. No one blames you, and you have to forgive yourself. We were all careless towards our own people at that time without knowing the threat was around us from the start." Erina crouched down, hugged Mio, and gave a few pats on the back.
"Here, this video is what I wanted to show you." Elysia handed her smartphone to Erina\'s grandfather.
A video about those bad guys\' conversation was shown there. Mitsuzuka couldn\'t hide his angry expression, but he didn\'t let the fury swallow him from within.
Those criminals have only one destiny at this point, which was not a pleasant one.
Mitsuzuka took a deep breath to regain his calm, then he took out his smartphone. "Very well, thanks for filming this before your heroics, Elysia. I need a copy of this video. Hold on."
"Sure." Elysia didn\'t mind.
Finished sending the video, Mitsuzuka returned Elysia\'s smartphone.
"Ah, Elysia-san, I sent a message with my newly restored number. Did it reach you?" Erina raised her hand for attention.
"Uhm, yes, your text message reached me." Elysia checked the message she had just received and smiled.
The door suddenly opened with a bang. This time, the culprit wasn\'t a human but a long-tailed raven.
Victor flew in and landed near Elysia. She brought a fairly large pouch.
"Finally, I found you, Elysia. This is the compensation I talked about that night, and I want you to return my sanctuary bracelet now." Victor pushed the pouch near Elysia\'s feet and looked up.
"Hm? Did you fly from England here, Victor?" Elysia tugged at her sleeve and took off a white bracelet on her forearm. She crouched down and handed it to Victor. "Here, this is your sanctuary bracelet."
"Holy! You have a lot of top-tier artifact bracelets?" Victor widened her eyes in surprise and put her Sanctuary Bracelet around her neck. It was like a necklace now.
Elysia just replied with a faint smile. She just remembered that Elena attached the divine bracelets to her forearm.
Victor looked left and right before continuing to speak. "I flew here on a Japanese plane I met on my flight route. Oh, right. The British also seem to have been sent here to apologize for what happened to you at Morgan\'s mansion."
"I see, but please forgive me because I can\'t entertain them. They can do their apology some other time, but not now." Elysia shook her head because she didn\'t want to wait any longer.
There was an important mission on schedule. Erina was fine with mental stability, so now was the time for her group to leave.
"Well, that\'s your right. Here, please take this, and you have nothing to lose. I put a lot of valuable objects that are very rare, much less in this day and age." Victor pushed the pouch near Elysia\'s feet again.
"Mm, thank you." Elysia took the pouch and gave it to Sylvia.
After that, she faced everyone. "Apparently, that\'s all from us. We still have something to do after this, and it wouldn\'t be good for us to delay it any longer. With that being said, we need to excuse ourselves."
"Do you need transport or assistance? We have some of the fastest vehicles if you need one." Mitsuzuka offered a favor.
"Thanks for the concern, but it\'s not necessary. See you later." Elysia waved her hand, but it seemed to be aiming at Erina.
"Ely, Elysia-san, I will look forward to our next meeting. At that time, allow me to express my gratitude to you." Erina put her hand on her upper chest.
"Mm, I\'ll be really looking forward to it." Elysia smiled slightly with complex feelings. Yet, she simply turned around and left the room. Sylvia followed behind her.
"Oh, I have some other business too. Goodbye, Japanese soldiers." Victor raised her wing and flew out of the room.
Elysia and Sylvia walked through the corridor and out of the building. They went to a remote place and instantly disappeared from anyone\'s sight.
"They disappeared? A disguise technique to camouflage themselves with the surroundings?" Victor perched on a tree branch and wondered about what had just happened.
*Squawk!*
The sound of a large pitch-black crow made Victor somewhat startled. That big crow flew from the top of the building into the sky, but it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"What the hell is that?" Victor wondered, but no one could answer her.
Meanwhile, Elysia used invisibility to go to a remote place on the plantation, which was quite far from the military base.
"So, what\'s your plan? It\'s not night yet, but we\'d better move our plan forward. I want to destroy this magic seal as soon as possible." Xero looked at the black rune bracelet tattoo on his left leg.
"We can remove our magic seal in the heaven realm." Elysia took out some spirit stones to meditate for a while.
"Do you know how we get there?" Xero replied.
"I don\'t know, but I know someone who can help us with that. Please give me some time to meditate." Elysia sat in a seiza position and closed her eyes.
Xero looked at Sylvia and Vanessa, but they were just waiting near Elysia. Therefore, he can\'t do anything other than waiting either.
He felt a little envious of the Goddesses, who hide possibly in the bracelets in Elysia\'s forearm. They were still free without dealing with this world\'s magic seal.
Two minutes later, Elysia ended her meditation session. She looked at the black rune tattoo on her left forearm and immediately removed the seal. Several energy fibers immediately came to seal her magic back, but she countered it by setting up a barrier.
\'What do you want?\' The Earth God\'s voice sounded in Elysia\'s mind.
\'Earth God, we want to go to the heaven realm now to find the Ruvoid God. He is a creature full of dangerous curses. Can you help us?\' Elysia got straight to the point.
\'Very well, I will ask someone to help you go to the heaven realm. You just have to wait there and let me seal your magic again. You may remove the seal after entering the heaven realm.\' Earth God readily agreed.
Elysia then revoked her barrier, and her magic was sealed again. At that moment, an energy fluctuation occurred, and a glowing white creature descended from the sky and landed a few meters near her.
