"For the glory of-" One of the leaders shouted as he was about to launch his ultimate attack.
However, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and the giant monster dissipated into ashes.
"E-eh?" Marco was stunned in a daze because his opponent had just disappeared.
"Quick, bring all our comrades to the mothership. Everyone, return to the mothership and leave the warships behind." Lydia shouted to give her orders to her squad. Still, she jumped in to help the fallen soldiers return to the mothership.
"What happened, Lydia? Why did your squad interfere in the forefront of vanguard warship? Don't you know that this is a deadly battle for Master-level or above?" Marco frowned.
"Sudden change of plans, sir! General Mitsuzuka agreed to Miss Elysia's proposal to bring all soldiers back to the mothership. Miss Elysia and her group showed their prowess by jumping straight into the battlefield. The flash of black shadow you saw just now was Miss Sylvia moving under Miss Elysia's orders." Lydia saluted and reported.
"Hou, those mysterious girls have finally shown their strength? But, the one that just exterminated the big monster just now was that white-haired girl?" Marco pursed his lips as he found it hard to believe the information.
"Yes, sir. She was the one who repelled those hordes of sea giants as well. She is a powerful expert, but we still can't asure her real combat strength." Lydia nodded and glanced at her squad. Everyone who was injured had been taken away from the warship. "We'd better go back first to catch up to the latest information, sir."
"Yeah, let's go back." Marco agreed with the proposal. They left the warship using a mini turbo-jet to fly back to the mothership.
The experts and elites from other warships also imdiately returned to the mothership.
About a hundred seriously injured soldiers lay in the ergency treatnt room. Yet, there was neither a groan of pain nor a gloomy aura there. dical experts went here and there to provide assistance to the injured.
"How many casualties do we suffer in this clash?" Kenji asked his comrade in arms.
"One hundred and four were seriously injured, and eight died. Miss Elysia and the dical experts saved us from one hundred and twelve casualties, sir." One of the experts reports the data results on his tablet screen.
"One hundred and twelve casualties from the five forces... This is just the first clash, and we have suffered a five percent loss?" Kenji frowned and sighed. He then stole a glance at a girl with a cat near the exit.
Elysia was clearly not just a traveling rchant but a saint too. Besides, she was also a beast tar. That white cat was probably a Master-level elental spirit in the form of a cat.
At that mont, a flash of shadow approached swiftly. A peerless white-haired beauty erged from there and exchanged words with Elysia.
"She might be a Great Master-level, or maybe Demi-God?" Kenji felt defeated and a slight shudder to rember how easily Sylvia eradicated the underworld creatures.
"It's a good thing Erina knows them and invites them on this expedition." Kenji muttered under his breath and went over to Elysia's group.
"Ely, I've exterminated thousands of those weak underworld creatures. This mothership has also been cleared of any disturbance by any supernatural beings. However, we still need to put in place sothing to prevent their invasion again." Sylvia disintegrates her darkness spear into nothingness. The battle was over.
"Mm, good job Sylvi. Thanks for the hard work. Installing lots of light attribute talismans might help keep those underworld creatures away from this mothership?" Elysia had a brilliant idea for the current problem.
"That will work, but not for the stronger ones. Nevertheless, it is still effective because we can detect the stronger ones quickly. We can get those flying humans to put talismans all over the outside of the mothership. We need to give them a little credit and involvent, right?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows up and down with a playful smile on her face.
"Mm, let's do that after the discussion. I'm sure the higher-ups will ask for an explanation after this." Elysia nodded in agreent.
A few monts later, Erina returned with her grandfather. Kenji happened to run into them, and all of them ca near Elysia. Likewise with the higher-ups of the other four forces. They all wanted to ask for an explanation and information from Elysia.
"Miss Elysia, we would really appreciate it if you elaborate to us on what you know. Please understand our current situation, and don't hide anything. You are part of the military ergency at this ti, no matter where you look and the reasons you give. have." Adam emphasized his orders as if they were essential.
"I'm not hiding anything, but I will share what I know from our observations on the highest point of this mothership earlier. However, this is not the place for this conversation because I also want to propose so plans. Would you please?" Elysia nodded in understanding, but that would only co on her terms.
"Very well, let's go to the strategy room." Mitsuzukareplied with a slight nod and turned around. He walked in front, and the others followed him from behind.
Elysia took out a ream of yellow paper from her Space Bag stealthily on the way to the strategy room.
She made so talisman anti underworld creatures with her magic and a brush.
"Uhm, Elysia-san, what are you writing?" Erina asked in amazent.
Elysia wrote so scribbles on the yellow paper and gave each one to Sylvia. It repeated again and again.
"Oh, I know that. Are you making anti demons and ghost talismans, Elysia-sama?" A young man had sparkling eyes when he realized what Elysia had made.
"Mm, you know what I'm doing, err, you're Hokusai-san, right?" Elysia at the one who guessed it right.
"Yeah, my clan is good at this, actually. My clan is known as an exorcist clan in Japan. Unfortunately, I'm the only one present in this operation. Otherwise, we might have had a much easier battle with my clan's special technique. Here, I also have an anti-ghost talisman." Hokusai showed a yellow paper with a complicated Japanese spell on it.
"Woah, on second thought, no wonder you weren't attacked by those demons and ghosts. You actually hid a talisman to ward off them?" Bai Jin reproached in annoyance.
"Hehe, please don't be jealous. I only have one gift from my mother, and it's very precious. Please don't be jealous because Miss Elysia made so much here." Hokusai waved her hand in front of her face with a bland laugh.
He then looked at Elysia in wonder. "Could it be that you are from a hidden clan with hereditary exorcism techniques, Miss Elysia?"
The question left the leaders and elites speechless. They also wanted to know the answer because they simply couldn't find any data about Elysia before they were stranded in the underworld.
"Clan? I don't even have a surna anymore." Elysia shook her head and continued making the talismans as she walked.
"I see... I'm sorry for your loss." Hokusai felt sowhat guilty and voiced his condolences.
'What?' Elena didn't know what to say about this misunderstanding.
"..." Elysia didn't know what to do either. She decided to keep quiet without clearing up the misunderstanding as it was pointless.
After arriving at the strategy room, Elysia asked for ten minutes to finish her work first. One talisman every three seconds, she needed a little ti to complete a ream of talismans against lower-class supernatural beings.
"Ah, thanks for waiting. I've finished it." Elysia raised a rim talisman with a satisfied smile.
"Ahem, are you going to distribute that to the avant-garde soldiers, Miss Elysia?" Adam cleared his throat. He was an almighty Admiral, but he also needed an amulet to ward off evil creatures just in case.
"No, this is to protect this mothership from invading supernatural beings. This will be our moving base while we explore the underworld to find our way ho." Elysia shook her head and placed the stack of talismans onto the table. "I want all of you to stick this all over the outside of this mothership at a certain distance."
"That's an easy thing. But why do you seem to be deliberately excluding our warships? That's a great combat power asset." Mitsuzuka moved quickly to secure the talismans. He would arrange this talisman later, regardless of the discontent of the other leaders.
"That's because the warships will only be a burden here. My advice, leave it be because it doesn't have an energy cannon like in this mothership. We will only move as a unit so as not to die here. This is my suggestion, and I hope you can hear out." Elysia ended her sentence with a aningful smile.
"Hmm... This is a difficult decision. But, I think it is a decision we must make so that we don't fall here. I presu this underworld has its own civilization, and we are nothing more than aliens to them. Say what you have in mind here. You all need to suppress disputes between you and your country. The problem here is everyone's life and safety." Mitsuzuka looked at everyone, the leaders especially.
"Tch, fine. It's like we have another choice after that battle." Tang Zhou glanced at the white-haired girl behind Elysia warily.
The leaders, experts, and young elites voiced their agreent in turn. Although there was so discontent, they ended up swallowing their egos after receiving the bloodshot gaze from Elysia's scary bodyguard.
"Thanks for your understanding. So let's go back to discussing our survival strategy. This is re speculation about the world, but please listen to to the end." Elysia then drew a world map on the table with a non-permanent marker.
After that, she explained a few things as if she was a dedicated director with the highest authority.. Yet, everyone just listened to the end.
