Chapter 746: Truth Seeker (2)
Despite saying that in a fluster, Elysia still received the round, blood-red flower.
"You used the void crystals to recover. You are already corrupted. This thing is a Blazing Star Flower that can minimize corrosion. Don\'t ask too many questions, and devour this." Alisha shoved that flower into Elysia\'s mouth without any prior notice.
"Hngh!" Elysia was slightly surprised, but the flower had already entered her mouth. She used her scanning ability to examine that blood-red flower. She chewed it when she realized there were no harmful substances in it.
"Uh, thank you. But, I don\'t feel any effect." Elysia looked at her hands and scanned her body briefly.
"That\'s because the corrosion is too weak for you to notice. Come with me. I want to test your magic and tell you a few things about this Boundless Realm. It would be troublesome if my slave were so disappointing." Alisha grabbed Elysia\'s hand and walked away somewhat forcefully.
"O-okay." Elysia felt her hand hurt a bit, but she better not complain here. She just followed Alisha from the side.
"???" The black dragon just stared from behind. He didn\'t know what happened, but his master was concerned about her clone.
"May I know is it just you, the black dragon and me here?" Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice.
"Black dragon? He is Cherub, my pet." Alisha answered briefly.
"Is it possible... it was just you and Cherub all this time? So, I am your first human friend?" Elysia nodded slightly.
"A meaningless question. You like to talk nonsense sometimes, huh..." Alisha raised her eyebrows.
"But you feel pretty glad in your heart, right? I know that~" Elysia hummed lightly and smiled.
"..." Alisha didn\'t want to answer. She simply let go of Elysia\'s hand and walked in front. "Hurry up."
"Hmm-mm~" Elysia narrowed her eyes and followed Alisha into a room.
*Bam!*
Alisha closed the stone door and sat cross-legged on an altar. She then sighed when she found Elysia looking around in confusion. "What are you doing there? Come here."
"Nee, there\'s no ventilation here. Aren\'t we going to die from not being able to breathe?" Elysia went to sit in seiza position next to Alisha and put the lantern next to her.
"I don\'t know if you\'re too oblivious or stupid. Do we need to breathe to stay alive?" Alisha rolled her eyes.
"No need to breathe?" Elysia put her hand on her upper chest and confirmed it. Sure enough, she just remembered that her current status was that of a wandering spirit, but with a tangible form like a body. Alisha was also the same.
If so, why would Alisha and herself still seem to be breathing if it wasn\'t to stay alive? Elysia wondered in her mind, but Alisha didn\'t seem willing to answer. Therefore, she could only put that matter aside.
"Stretch out your hand and show me your golden light magic." Alisha stretched out her hand, and her intonation suddenly became coercive.
"Okay." Elysia didn\'t mind that. She stretched out her hand and created a golden light ball above her palm.
"..." Alisha stared at that golden light magic for a few seconds before she created a ball of darkness on her palm. She brought it closer to Elysia\'s golden light to see the effect of the reaction.
*Bzzt*
A repulsive reaction occurred, and Alisha immediately moved her palm away.
"You want to see the reaction and effect of our magic? Hm, how about this one. I\'ve adjusted it to your type of magic, and this one won\'t hurt you." Elysia remodeled her golden light a bit and adjusted it to the dark energy. She could achieve that feat as this was not the first time she had done so.
\'You might be able to become my arch enemy if you were at my level, but unfortunately, you have become my property, hee-hee.\' Alisha laughed inwardly.
"It\'s useless. I just wanted to see my void magic with your golden light. I can see the collision, but my magic is superior." Alisha brought her ball of darkness close to Elysia\'s palm to demonstrate her superior magic, but a surprising thing happened.
Elysia\'s golden light could co-exist with her ball of darkness now. When she was about to engulf that golden light, her ball of darkness merged into a more significant golden light instead. Her magic received a strange buff!
"What\'s going on? What did you just do with your magic, Elysia?" Alisha stared at the golden light on her palm. She couldn\'t believe that she could hold light as holy as this.
"I just adapted it to your magic. What do you think?" Elysia answered innocently.
"..." Alisha was silent and only glanced at Elysia. A wild thought suddenly crossed her mind. \'A human with the golden light ability. She would be hunted by almost every creature in this realm. Do I need to tarnish her so that she is not claimed by others? Especially those mindless monsters. Her golden light could significantly impact them if only she was stronger. Does she really want to help me? But what is she trying to gain by doing that? Wait, she is my property now, and her fate is in my hands. I just have to make sure she won\'t betray me. She must not fall into the hands of others. Yes, that\'s it. She can be the key to it.\'
"Listen to me, Elysia. You can\'t use your golden light carelessly, especially in front of those void monsters. Light amid the darkness will be seen as a beacon of interest. You will be hunted down because of it. Can you use void magic or dark magic? Use that instead." Alisha sighed and gave a piece of kind suggestion.
"Thanks for the advice. I\'ll keep that in mind. I don\'t know much about the void, but I can use dark magic like this." Elysia made a small black flame on her palm.
"Hou~ You can use opposite magic with no effort? It\'s interesting." Alisha looked a little surprised.
"Mm, I can learn new things quickly. Perhaps, if you frequently use your void magic in front of me, I can also use it. It will be much faster if you teach me." Elysia nodded slightly.
"Did you think I would teach you?" Alisha frowned.
"What are the conditions? It was just a request. The one thing I want to know the most is information about the realm we are in now. Our presence here is for a reason, and our recent meeting is due to the will of fate. I need to know about the situation where I am right now. That way, everything will come to light." Elysia immediately changed the topic to the one she needed to know the most.
"Hmm, would you explore this entire realm to find the truth if you didn\'t meet me? What would you do if I refused your request?" Alisha folded her arms and pursed her lips.
"Mm, I have no other choice. I don\'t even know why I\'m here. However, it seems that I was sent to conquer this realm. How about you, Lisha?" Elysia put her hands together and looked into Alisha\'s blood-red eyes with a serious expression.
"You? Do you want to conquer this realm by yourself? You surprisingly have a big mouth, Elysia. Let alone such a tall thing, you will die as soon as you enter the core region. It\'s impossible for you." Alisha smiled sarcastically and almost laughed. She didn\'t expect this weakling would say something like that in front of her with such an expression.
"If you are so sure, are you willing to bet? Will I die first or conquer this realm with you?" Elysia twirled her finger through a lock of her hair.
"Hmm, you dare say that to me? Why are you so sure?" Alisha lifted her chin.
"Because I believe in it. It doesn\'t matter if I get corrupted by corrosion or contaminated with evil energy. I will find a way to deal with it. Would you like to join me?" Elysia reached out her hand to recruit a strong ally.
"That\'s ridiculous. You are my property, and you dare say that to me? However, it will be interesting. I will see how you struggle and end up falling into despair. Keep on hoping until the hope itself leaves you." Alisha pressed her finger to Elysia\'s chin and brought her face closer to whisper near Elysia\'s ear.
"Lisha-" Elysia opened her mouth, but Alisha sealed her mouth with a finger.
"Ssh, I\'m tired of reminding you not to use that name to refer to me. I am Ai. Do you understand, my dear slave?" Alisha stroked Elysia\'s cheek while grinning.
"Ai, hope will never leave us. If it doesn\'t come when we expect it, we just have to create it. Miracles happen for a cause, not just an effect." Elysia took Alisha\'s hand and continued her speech.
"Yeah, yeah, you start again with that sage-like behavior. I\'ll just see how you fail and fall into despair. When your spirit is broken, I\'ll fix you and turn you into my obedient little slave." Alisha gave a dismissive wave of her hand.
After saying that, Alisha took out a red bracelet from her robe. She immediately attached it to Elysia\'s wrist.
"What is this? A token of friendship?" Elysia checked the bracelet curiously. The item slowly became transparent and disappeared, but she could still feel it was still there.
"Whatever. I\'ll test a few things about your magic first. You are so weak, but your magical abilities are truly mysterious. Once I can see the bottom of this, I will satisfy your curiosity about this realm." Alisha then asked Elysia to follow her instructions for the experiment.
On the other hand, Elysia also took advantage of this opportunity to test her magic and learn about Alisha\'s void law.
