Chapter 729: Punishnt Ga
"Everything is okay. He cos with us." Nell ca out of Elysia's invisible magic to calm the panicked holy knights.
"The Goddess of Blessings?" The holy knights breathed a sigh of relief when they saw who it was. They straightened their backs and imdiately gave a knightly salute.
"If you need to recognize his identity, he is the Beast God of the Beast Continent. You should return to your duties." Nell gave Regulus an introduction to avoiding another misunderstanding on another occasion.
"Alright. Then, we excuse ourselves." The holy knight with the highest rank represented to answer. He and his fellow holy knights then went to their guard post, but they still paid close attention to that giant red lion.
"Ella, since we got here, would you like to et your grandfather, Ella? He happens to be around." Elysia accidentally saw the Pope doing so paperwork in a room in one of the cathedral towers.
"Eh? Has my grandfather returned to the Holy Cathedral? Then I will tell him that we are back and are near the Serene River. I'm sure he will be here in a few seconds." Ella took out a golden communication talisman and wrote a ssage there using a brush.
A few seconds after Ella delivered her ssage, an old man clad in a golden white robe flew from the window of one of the cathedral towers. He went to land near the Serene River to look for his granddaughter, but he only found a giant red lion and the Goddess of Blessings.
'Master Elysia, I think you need to revoke your invisible blanket first.' Rhea conveyed a suggestion via telepathy.
'Okay.' Elysia imdiately revoked her invisible magic.
"..." Alexander had just opened his mouth to ask, but a group of people suddenly appeared nearby. Therefore, he swallowed back the words that would co out of his mouth and turned them into a respectful greeting to his Goddess. "Utmost respects to your divine self. Pleased to see you and everyone have returned without missing anything."
"Hum. What about the western region? Is the situation there already under control?" Nell replied with a subtle nod.
"Two sealed areas that collapsed have been effectively contained. Reinforcents arrived just in ti before things got worse. We add more frontline personnel to deal with accursed monsters. Thus reinforcents can arrive on ti if the situation gets out of control." Alexander put his hand to his chest with pride and confidence shining in his eyes.
"I'm relieved to hear that. We'll be visiting the Devil Continent in a mont. Would you like to co with us?" Nell suddenly had an idea and asked without discussing it with anyone. She knew that an event would happen if the strongest human t the most potent devil.
"Devil Continent?" Alexander widened his eyes slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He glanced sideways, at his granddaughter, to be exact. "Is Ella going there too?"
"It's a good thing for her to co with us to the land of devils, the forbidden place that humans hate the most. She will see that place firsthand. It's been a long ti since you've been there, hasn't it? What's your answer?" Nell opened her palm and asked once again with a tender smile.
"Please allow to speak to my granddaughter first." Alexander could have made up his mind right away.
However, depending on so conditions, he needed different kinds of preparations. The Devil Continent was not a place for humans to visit carelessly for a reason and cause.
"Very well." Nell nodded in agreent.
Alexander approached his granddaughter while glancing at the giant red lion by the river every now and then.
"Grandfather, nice to see you again. Are you all right? How about mom and dad? Are they still in the Xeafinata Kingdom?" Ella greeted her grandfather happily.
"Yeah, Alfred and Lucia are still in the western region. Didn't you trouble your friends during your round-the-world trip?" Alexander patted his granddaughter's shoulder.
"Mou, I won't trouble anyone." Ella pouted.
"Hehe, anyway, are you going to the Devil Continent?" Alexander imdiately changed the topic to sothing serious. His expression said it clearly.
"Mm, Sylvi said she will show us what the Devil Continent really looks like. It's not as bad as our depiction. Although so places are terrible, not everything is like that. That's what she said." Ella answered frankly.
Alexander took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He made the decision, and it was inviolable. "Hm, might as well take this as a study for you. However, we're leaving with an escort. We're still humans, and that place is the land of devils. Their dark magic doesn't bode well for us, especially our holy magic."
"Okay." Ella just nodded ekly. She didn't have any objections either.
"Hmm..." Alexander looked at everyone in Elysia's group. There are several new faces that he does not recognize. Still, his primary focus is the other two humans, naly Elysia and Evelyn. "What about you, Elysia, Evelyn? Would you like to send a Saint Knight to be your bodyguard during the visit to the Devil Continent just in case?"
"Thank you for your offer, Grandpa. I will be fine because my master is there with ." Elysia glanced up slightly with a tender smile adorning her face.
"???" Alexander glanced up, but he could see nothing but a clear blue sky. If the Goddess of Light was there, Elysia's safety was guaranteed. So, only Evelyn was left. "What about you, Evelyn? Or do you need to inform the Mage Association first? A Saint Mage will obviously be dispatched to you when your mother finds out about this."
"Uhm, then, I need to inform my mother regarding this matter. The situation doesn't seem as simple as I imagined. I need to ask for permission directly." Evelyn thought for a mont and answered politely. She then tugged the hem of Elysia's dress for attention. "The Mage Association is nearby... Can I go there for a bit? Please don't leave before I co back, okay?"
"All right, we will be waiting for you here." Elysia patted Evelyn's arm in her reassurance. She glanced at Vanessa and gave her command. "Vann, please accompany Eve to the Mage Association."
"Affirmative. We'll be right back. Eve, let's go now." Vanessa put her hand on her upper chest and nodded.
"Thank you, then we excused ourselves first. We'll be right back!" Evelyn was pleased with her best friend's understanding of what she was thinking. She left with Vanessa by running.
Elysia watched them go over the bridge until they could no longer be seen.
"Very well, would you like to visit the Holy Cathedral for a while? I need to prepare a few things before leaving for the Devil Continent." Alexander invited everyone with a respectful gesture.
"We appreciate the invitation. He is the Beast God, and he will co with us. It was not the right decision to enter the cathedral." Rhea pointed her palm to the big lion by the river. Regulus had just finished drinking the water, but she wouldn't let him act unsupervised here.
Therefore, everyone was led to one of the large buildings next to the cathedral. Alexander offered to send so priests to provide exceptional services, but Nell refused.
"Mm, we won't be attracting unwanted attention here while waiting for their preparations." Nell sent Alexander and Ella away and closed the hall door. Several holy knights stood guard outside the building, but she ignored them.
"Hmph, this is a pitiful room. Is this the best treatnt a human can give divine guests?" Regulus snorted after he scanned the entire room. It was just a large and empty hall, but a faint sll of dicine could be slled easily.
"This hall was the biggest one, previously used as an ergency room to treat soldiers and knights who were seriously injured on the battlefield. However, they all seem to have received proper dical treatnt, and there are no more such ergency cases." Elysia explained a bit and took out a set of seats.
"Nee, how about we play a ga while waiting for them to co back? We have a lot from Ely's gas, but to make this fun, let's add sothing like truth or dare!" Sylvia took a spot on Elysia's left.
"That's my spot..." Yuuki grumbled softly in a mosquito-like voice.
"Truth or dare?" Rhea sat on Elysia's right side, feeling sowhat interested in the ga in question.
"What kind of ga would you like to collaborate with, truth or dare, Sylvi?" Of course, Elysia didn't mind participating, but with terms and conditions.
"It's a card ga with truth or dares! What do you think?" Sylvia pounded the table with burning enthusiasm.
"h, it's a boring ga. I can win it with no effort." Regulus snorted disdainfully.
"Hmm, I didn't invite you to our girls' ga, though? You can play anything like a punishnt ga with the boys. The loser shall receive punishnt from the winner and aren't allowed to evade it, like a smack or a pinch." Sylvia raised her eyebrows and looked at Beast God skeptically.
"Hoho?" Regulus suddenly had a brilliant idea for revenge. "Heehee, hahaha! Fine, let's do this, Sea God! I will beat you with the so-called ga of punishnt." Regulus defiantly laughed like a maniac.
"Ha? Why should I accept your challenge? You may be a bit stronger than , but you can't inflict anything on at all." Oceanid folded his arms and smirked.
"Are you scared, loser? You challenged on the previous occasion but now scared of sothing like a mortal's ga?" Regulus tried to trigger Oceanid's irritation.
"Hm? Hoo, alright then. I shall accept your challenge and beat you with ease." Oceanid glanced at Elysia and suddenly had an insight. Everything from her ga mainly required brainpower, but this stupid beast was hot-headed and easily swayed by emotions.
Regulus' defeat was bound to happen at every turn since the one he was challenging was the cool-headed and calm Oceanid. However, the challenge probably would soon turn into a violent ga.
