Chapter 116: Quite a Long Night
'Master, is it ti for us to return?' Vanessa asked after they made it out of Rosemoor City without anyone knowing.
'Yes, I'm afraid Evelyn will notice my absence there. This night has been long enough for us.' Elysia answered through their connection.
They were still in an invisible mode disguised by magic. Right now, they were nothing more than any other air from the outside.
Elysia checked the surrounding area with her 'advanced perception' due to her habit. She then flew high into the sky by changing the gravitational force exerted on her body with her magic.
'Why does your body feel so cold, master? What happened to you?' Vanessa expressed her concern as she peeked up from her master's embrace.
The change in body temperature at this ti was sothing similar to what her master's dormmate asked. Last night when the question rose, Vanessa didn't think too deeply into it, but now she felt firsthand that her master's body was so cold.
'Ah, cold, em. How about now? Am I warm again?' Elysia floated in the high sky, then changed her body temperature back to normal, to her warm self.
'En, much better and warm. So, what about my question?' Vanessa looked for her comfortable position there but didn't want to let go of her original question.
'I'll be honest with you, Vann, but don't tell anyone, okay?' Elysia raised the white cat in her arms before her face.
'Vann? Is that ? Em, a pet na like yours with Ely and Eve for your dormmate? This sounds good... Uh, ah! Surely I will keep all your secrets only to myself, I promise to you master.' Vanessa rubbed her face with her little paw when she heard her new pet na, then nodded at her master. They were looking at each other's eyes.
'I honestly don't know either. Nervousness, fear, anxiety, excessive thoughts, or even when feeling threatened... My body always drops cold, just like earlier. Now I actually still feel scared, what would happen if I was just an ordinary person and couldn't use my abilities like the current . Am I going to suffer when that Devil Emperor silences ? Kill ? Or use for things I don't know?'
Elysia looked at the city far below while saying things that were never told to anyone other than Elena. She was not afraid to tell Vanessa a few things because the white cat had beco her Contracted Beast who could not possibly betray her. They were bound by a permanent spiritual bond.
'Please don't overthink of it, master. I will always be with you, whether it be in joy or sorrow. The world sotis becos so dangerous, and those who feel insecure or uncomfortable will find another existence to accompany them. You are so strong and powerful, you shouldn't suppose yourself as a weak existence.'
Vanessa expressed her opinion sincerely. She touched her master's cheek with her little paw so that her master knew she was there, and her master didn't look far below them.
She was also startled when she found out that man was the Devil Emperor and the girl who hugged her for a while, the one who gave her so snacks was the Devil Saint.
Her master was so powerful that she could blow up such a vast area and fill it with water to create a new lake ecosystem. Then, enveloped in a much larger forest with fierce storms, to the point where her master had saved her from death's door.
Even with all those godlike abilities, her master still felt fear and other negativity that would only appear to the weak? Whatever happened to her master? How did she grow to have all of these abilities?
Everything Vanessa had understood and believed, her master's path was not trivial and easy. Maybe all the origins would be looked fake and appeared to be lies. Still, Vanessa only assessed her master only to the present individual and the original personality, not the past or origin.
Just because of it, she happily beca her master's contracted beast and left all the bonds that bind her from the past.
Vanessa just wished for a peaceful life, where she no longer had to suffer from the cruelty of the world... The cruel world that had taken all the tigers that were related to her by blood.
'Accompanying each other... I shouldn't think of it as a weak existence, hm... Thank you, Vann. You're very helpful. Sister Elena's words are correct. I shouldn't think that I am alone and weak.' Elysia gently hugged the cute white cat in her warm embrace.
She had felt better, Devil Emperor was evil, and that should be known based on his title. The choking attack coated with Emperor class pressure really shocked her a while ago. She took it lightly because she was able to avoid his attack while still near the lake.
Even though she was just being held there and not actually strangled to be killed, it was still so terrifying because she was caught off guard. The fearful thoughts that followed were just things that ca without being asked or invited.
'I'm glad I helped. Shall we co back now?' Vanessa was delighted and happy.
'En.' Elysia nodded slightly and carried Vanessa in her arms.
After that, she imdiately turned to the northeast and enveloped them in a bubble-like barrier and shot out from there.
She stopped periodically every ti she accelerated at that speed to confirm their current position. Then she flew back in a straight line at breakneck speed towards what she thought was the Aeddoterra City in Holy Central Region.
Although traveling at a very high speed and perhaps the sa as the speed of light, they were still in good shape despite the excessively high rate, gravitational force, and friction between spaces.
Sothing that should have crushed them into their fundantal particles because the heat from the latent energy at incredible speeds did not occur. Thanks to the bubble-like barrier that made them into an ethereal state and had inadvertently transford them so that they were no longer law-bound objects.
The unexpected had happened from Elysia's unique magic as she focused on protecting them from the breakneck speed that would injure them. Yet, no one noticed what was going on from the bubble-like barrier.
They flew for a few seconds until Elysia found the destination city. She landed around a small forest and then entered stealthily, still in an invisible mode to disguised their presence just like any other air.
She didn't stop anywhere other than her dorm room, in Evelyn's room. Elysia could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Evelyn sleeping soundly in the bed. The latter was still hugging her cuddle doll.
She opened the window silently, entered the room stealthily, and secured everything without a sound being heard.
Elysia gently placed the white cat in her arms onto the soft sofa near the bed. Still, before she was about to return to bed to replace the hug doll with herself... She realized she was still wearing an adventurous dress instead of her pajamas.
She quickly changed into purple pajamas, and everything was finally safe.
'Good night, Vann. May your dreams be beautiful.' Elysia turned to Vanessa with a gentle greeting.
'Un, good night to you too, master.' After she replied to her master, Vanessa imdiately curled up while looking for her comfortable position before plunging into sleep with beautiful dreams.
Elysia smiled and slowly replaced the cuddle doll's role with her body, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
The sky full of stars and a beautiful shining moon had accompanied Elysia and Vanessa's journey. The night had been so unexpected and quite long for them.
A short trip with a plan based solely on life energy was an unexpected encounter with Dylan and Sylvia, but with Elysia's form instead of Elena.
It ended up in a town on the border, and she was encouraged to beco an adventurer... Just because of two unusual demons who had to be watched for fear of bloodshed.
And it was closed by an exaggerated exchange with Dylan before Elysia was finally able to return to bed and sleep in the hope of a beautiful dream full of rainbows in the bright sky.
Five hours and a half swiftly passed. The sun was already peeking out from the eastern horizon to cheer that morning had co. It replaced the moon's duty as a protector watching from the sky.
*beep* *beep*
The alarm sounded and indicated that six o'clock in the morning had arrived. The alarm rang with enthusiasm for soone who had set it to silence it.
"Uuu, it's morning? Ely, wake up, it's six o'clock. Do you rember? We have to make the pizza you promised Ella and ~" Evelyn opened her eyes and slightly shook the girl in her arms. Strangely she got up first instead of the girl she was trying to wake up.
"Uhm, good morning, Eve. You look so excited in the morning." Elysia imdiately opened her eyes with a radiant and fresh face. Even though she only slept for five hours and a half, a short ti and couldn't be said to be a night of beauty sleep.
