Chapter 839 Recovery Before Ascension (3)
“Ely, come here.” Elena beckoned Elysia to go beside her. Erina and Mio had already plunged into deep meditation, so Elysia no longer needed to accompany them.
“Yes, I’m here.” Elysia immediately came closer, but she suddenly received a sudden attack. She was hugged from behind without any prior notification.
“Aria.” Elysia glanced back with a soft mutter.
“...” Rhea only responded with a sweet smile. She needs Elysia in all her recovery matters, and now she can stick to her host all the time.
“Xentia is coming too!” Xentia jumped out of the water and gave a bear hug to both Elysia and Rhea.
“No, Ely belongs to me.” Elena smiled faintly and pulled Elysia’s hand. She wants Elysia near her, so close because she wants to recharge her Elysium.
Elysia sat in front of Elena, hugged from behind. And Rhea quietly sat in front of Elysia, asking for an assistant for recovery.
“E-eh...” Xentia couldn’t believe she was left behind.
“Come here.” Rhea beckoned her innocent new disciple to join.
“Okay!” Xentia instantly became cheerful again and joined. She sat in front of her Goddess master and hugged from behind.
At that time, it was like a train-like formation with four people forming a straight line.
The other girls also came closer because they had some things to discuss. Some of them wanted to be as innocent and shameless as Xentia, but they couldn’t do it when so many third parties were watching them.
“...” Elena felt a little dissatisfied that she couldn’t have Elysia all for herself right now. Rhea also needed some recovery for tomorrow. Therefore, she just relented and took her time to relax.
“What are they doing? Is it a soap opera?” The curious deity asked in surprise.
“I don’t know, but it looks adorable and funny.” The cute deity commented enthusiastically.
“Fufu, they get along so well. I want to have some lovely, sweet sisters for that skinship too. Unfortunately, my small team only consists of the fiends and the brutes.” The petite deity covered her mouth as she felt a little envious.
“Huh!? What are you saying, shorty? You want a skinship, right? Fine, I’ll hug you tight!” The muscular deity hugged her comrade tightly.
“Ugh, I’ll be crushed!” The petite deity patted her comrade’s back frantically. She was in pain.
“Please stop you two. Maybe, she meant friend and beauty. Please be quiet.” The bespectacled deity tapped the heads of two of his acquaintances with a rattan.
Several deities were muttering between each other. Nonetheless, most of their conversation topics were still around Elysia’s circles. That group treated this event like a family trip, which caught everyone’s attention.
Above all, Elysia’s group was the most significant circle among the others and was interesting to discuss. The deities from Divine Association also took advantage of the opportunity to exchange words and ideas with the Goddesses and angels from another world.
Six hours passed, and it was already midnight. Elena opened her eyes and looked around. The chit-chat session was over five hours ago, and everyone was already in deep meditation.
At that moment, she noticed that Elysia and Rhea were not in meditation anymore.
‘What’s wrong?’ Elena asked via mind sync path telepathy.
‘Master Elena, I discovered this pure energy may be in the class of my mother’s advanced recovery formation, but it is still Earth’s energy. It cannot merge with our world’s magic pool and is directly placed in a different place.’ Rhea explained a little about what she found with Elysia some time ago.
‘Mm, it doesn’t come together. Take a look at our status screen. The EP became two separate parts somehow. Vrelenia and Earth’s EP.’ Elysia turned around and nodded in confirmation.
‘Let’s see...’ Elena put her hand on her chin and checked Elysia’s status screen.
<| Lv. 44 | Beginner Mage | Elysia Avery | Female (16) | HP: 6,800 / 6,800 | EP: 4,499e+9 / – | EP: 95,700 / 95,700 |>
<| STR: 15 | AGI: 29 | VIT: 12 | INT: 5,925 |>
<| Lv. 231 | Goddess of Nature | Rhea | Female (N/A) | HP: 3,247,140 / 3,247,140 | EP: 3,673,050 / 4,333,860| EP: 231,120 / 231,120 |>
<| STR: 416 | AGI: 392 | VIT: 54 | INT: 886 |>
Elena then checked the other girl’s status screen. Everyone from her group also had two separate Energy Points.
‘Rhea, I think it’s been a while since I checked your status screen. However, it seems that a lot has changed since then. You’ve fully recovered since then, haven’t you?’ Elena asked in wonder while looking Rhea up and down. This good girl looked like a teenage girl, not a mature lady.
‘I think the last time you checked was when Rhea got Nell’s blessing buffs.’ Elena scratched her head.
‘En, I have fully recovered. If you look at my current form... Yes, I’m still a teenage girl growing up. However, if you ask, I can change my form to a mature lady.’ Rhea checked her body and then looked at Elysia and Elena’s expressions.
‘It’s okay. I’m happy to hear it. You can stay in that form because Ely seems fond of treating you like a little sister. Almost everyone wants to be Ely’s big sister.’ Elena shrugged her shoulders.
‘En.’ Rhea nodded in understanding.
‘Then why did you stop meditating? Wouldn’t it be fine to fill our second mana pool as much as possible?’ Elena felt the more, the better. Even though she could only use a portion of Elysia’s true power, she thought it was a privilege to have backup power on Earth.
‘We thought we should stop at that point because we can’t be so selfish and absorb this formation’s pure energy for ourselves. They will also be fighting hard tomorrow. Also, we can use our true potential in the Heaven Realm without worrying about damaging the dimensions and the realm’s balance.’ Elysia muttered sentimentally.
She would be responsible for ensuring her group’s safety, but what about the others? She felt that tomorrow would be a tough battle, and anyone could die.
‘Un.’ Rhea responded with a nod.
‘I see... Then, we have no reason to stay here any longer.’ Elena smiled warmly and rubbed Elysia’s head. She then stood up with Elysia and Rhea.
Unfortunately, the sudden movement was noticed by Gaia and Lifa.
‘What’s wrong? Already want to go?’ Lifa was curious about what had happened.
‘Yes, we should have enough rest.’ Elena raised her palm.
‘All right. Then I will go too.’ Lifa stood up, but she turned around and looked at Gaia with a friendly smile. ‘Let’s talk some other time again. Or would you like to come along and brainstorm with us?’
‘Fufu, brainstorm, is it? In that case, I cannot refuse your offer. Allow me to come along. After all, I’m not here to recuperate.’ Gaia accepted the offer and went with Lifa.
The departure of the major characters from the hot spring made some individuals feel something was odd. Xentia suddenly noticed Aria, Elysia, and Lina’s absence.
She got up and looked back. Were they walking away somewhere without her?
Xentia didn’t like being ignored like that. Still, she didn’t have time to think of anything because Elysia and Rhea suddenly stopped. They gave her several hand gestures.
“Ah-mm.” Xentia kept her mouth shut and left the hot spring carefully. She tried not to cause any noise.
Unfortunately, the impact of Elysia, Elena, Lifa, and Gaia’s absence was enormous. The rest of Elysia’s group immediately stopped their meditation and decided to leave the hot spring in turn.
Some deities also stopped their recovery meditation for a while but didn’t move from their spot. They were just wondering what was going on.
Erina also suddenly opened her eyes and looked back in confusion. She felt Elysia was walking away, and sure enough. Elysia’s group is about to leave and is waiting for everyone to gather?
“Mio, it’s time for us to go.” Erina whispered to the girl beside her and removed the talisman from their forehead.
“Ah, uh?” Mio was in a daze for a moment. However, her muscle memory immediately kicked in and followed Erina away from the hot spring even though her consciousness had not yet fully back from the meditation.
“...” Elysia didn’t know what to say when her entire group had already exited the recovery hot spring. She smiled and invited everyone to a makeshift hut made by nature spirits.
‘Ely, please open the portal to the Nature Realm in the next room and let everyone rest. Lifa also wanted to invite Gaia for a warm conversation. Meanwhile, we will take Erina and Mio back to Japan, then we can go to sleep.’ Elena stated her intentions clearly.
‘All right. It’s probably almost dawn there. However, we need to get dressed first, right?’ Elysia was aware that everyone was only wrapped in wet towels.
She then told everyone to get dressed. Afterward, she went into the next room and invited everyone to go with her.
“Hmm?” Erina wanted to come along, but Elysia’s master prevented her.
“We’ll take you back to Japan. Please wait here a moment.” Elena shook her head slightly.
“O-oh, okay.” Erina just nodded and grasped her arm while waiting for Elysia to return. It was so awkward when Elysia wasn’t around. Moreover, she knew that Elysia’s master was not a human but a divine angel!
Two minutes later, Elysia returned and extended her hand to Erina with a happy smile. “Erina, congratulations on ascending to rank five!”
“Ah, I just realized that, Ellie. I just broke through to rank five, and Mio solidified her cultivation at rank six. We are very grateful because it is thanks to you too, Ellie.” Erina bowed slightly to convey her gratitude politely.
“No worry. I also have a present for you and Mio. Here we go, tada~” Elysia took out two small silver suitcases from her Space Bag, but it looked like a magic trick to Erina and Mio’s eyes.
“You don’t need to give me a gift because of my minor achievement, Ellie. And, my birthday isn’t today...” Erina felt a little shy about accepting the present now.
“No, you have to accept it because I insist. This will help you in defending yourself from evil. Be careful because this magic weapon can boost your combat power drastically.” Elysia shoved the small suitcase into Erina and Mio’s arms, respectively.
“Uhm, I can’t refuse, can I?” Erina smiled but was overwhelmed. She then expressed her gratitude once more as Elysia nodded encouragingly to her.
“Try to open the suitcase and try to use it here.” Elysia put her hands together and went beside Elena.
“...” Erina and Mio opened the small suitcases in their hands. It was a silver gun with no ammunition with dozens of intricate runes engraved around the magic weapon.
However, magic weapons? It was something rare and not easy to get. However, Elysia gave such an item to them for nothing so casually?
“Try channeling your power into that gun, and shoot this target. The ammo comes from your strength, so be careful because it can drain a lot if overused.” Elysia made two medium-sized stones float in the air, five meters from the shooters.
“...” Erina and Mio looked at each other before they took their stances. They drew their guns at the floating stones before firing with incredible accuracy.
*Pew* *Pew*
The two medium-sized stones were hit by the stream of the silver energy beam and were reduced to ashes.
