"Why only stare from afar? Please co here. I miss you too." Elysia signaled Ai and Fortuna to co closer.
She said her last words to Ai, but Fortuna also assud they were directed at her. Thus, they exchanged greeting hugs and sat down for a small talk.
Gio and Cherub got so head pats from Elysia. They then lay down ta on the table, waiting for their master to speak.
"That's fifty days on that trial. What did you learn in there, Ely?" Ai put her hands on the table and rested her head on her intertwined hands. She looked at Elysia with interest.
"There are three main things that I get. The first thing is to comprehend various divinities within the tower and understand more deeply about the law creation. The second thing is about getting multiple experiences in different challenging situations. I also need to take responsibility for everyone's safety and success.
It was really challenging. And the last is building relationships and spending ti with my people. So of them only have a few opportunities to talk to , and that's not good. Our relationship is getting better now~" Elysia put her hands together with a cheerful smile.
"That sounds good. Our business here is also finished. We can leave at any ti." Ai also felt happy and relieved.
"Um, I have sothing to discuss. It's about Ariel, our new outer mber." Elysia clasped her hands, and her expression beca more solemn than sympathetic.
"Ariel, Ella's holy knight, right? She exausted her lifespan, and her life energy was almost dry. If it wasn't for the Goddess of Blessings, she would have dried up dead that day. She has three years to live and will drag Ella down because of their life-bound contract. What do you intend to do to help that girl, Ely?" Fortuna knew Ariel's difficult situation then, and the current one mainly had stayed the sa.
"If you intend to help her recover to optimal condition by using your divine life energy, please restrain your intention. She will explode if you try. We were lucky to save Tifa and Aria using our life force directly." Elena made a firm refusal if that was Elysia's intention.
"Of course not. I know the risks. Do you still rember how we saved the big injured winged tiger in that forest?" Elysia smiled slightly, feeling a bit nostalgic.
"Oh, our first eting with Vanessa, huh. Alright, that's achievable. We'll take the life energy from another creature and transfer it to Ariel." Elena dropped her fist onto her open palm.
"Yes, precisely. But, we won't forcefully snatch another being's life span like a villain." Elysia pointed at Elena because that was what she wanted to say.
"It's okay. We can trade with them like what you did back then, Ely. However, we can also forcefully snatch the sinner's life span instead of giving them a cheap death sentence. I heard about the situation in the Naless Land, The Unknown Continent, and the Boundless Desert are not so good." Elena leaned her cheek against her hand. She smiled faintly as she stared into the distance like soone with a slightly evil grand plan.
"Oh! So, we're going to be the death reapers? Hum, we haven't cleaned them yet. Let's how them who's boss. They'll know they chose the wrong side from the start." Ai clasped her fist, feeling excited to do so violence.
"We can take care of whover allied with the accursed, but that's not ant for solving Ariel's problem, okay?" Elysia reminded everyone.
"Fair enough. Ariel is only a Saint-level holy knight. It won't be too difficult. But, I feel that she isn't much stronger than a new Spirit-level mage like Ella and Eve. Is that also her setback?" Ai patted her cheek while wondering.
"Yes." Elysia nodded without hesitation.
"I see, so it all makes sense." Ai looked at the Heavenly Palace and sighed.
Elysia then waited for Nell to return, and then they went to the Heavenly Palace together to see everyone's situation.
The girls lay on the futons as if they were taking a nap together. Still, they were actually in rehabilitation and recovery.
Ella and Eve received the sa treatnt as when they first finished training in the divine angel trial. However, they have yet to significantly improve since the previous one.
'Master... Everyone's fine, just tired. However, we nurtured five people to ascend straight to Spirit level in such a relatively short amount of ti. They might not be as strong as a natural Spirit warrior, and they need to consolidate their strength more deeply.' Rhea reported the situation.
'One can only get stronger by cultivating and practicing, but we are taking shortcuts with heaven-grade and divine resources. They will have a higher percentage to survive. Also, it's only a matter of ti before they can match the natural Spirit level. They can help us if they're stronger.' Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Besides Lynn and Dori being the natural Spirit-level experts, their group got five newly ascended ones of the sa rank. Apart from these five people, only Yuuki had broken through in rank in the past week.
The others just steadily and solidify their strength without rushing. Thus, they approached the pinnacle of a breakthrough but did not ascend in rank, despite having trained for one hundred and fifty days with the many extraordinary resources within the tower.
'Nell invested a lot in them. Those resources were actually the remnants of her divine angel's relics..." Rhea sighed, feeling a bit sad as she recalled that tragedy.
'Nell is strong, and all is for their good. Indirectly, they are half-angel her, right?' Elysia changed the topic of conversation.
'Um, I don't think so. They are not divine angels, no matter where I look at them. But, hum, yes, the angelic aura from the divine trial was received by them. They have the protection of the holy light.' Rhea glanced at the girls and felt sure of her claim.
"I'm back~ Oh, Ely, you give off such a delicious aura. Let hug you first." Nell ca back and flew closer, hugging Elysia's head from behind.
"Welco back." Elysia glanced back, but she couldn't find Nell.
"Um, you sll so nice and relaxing. You make a lovely natural sedative." Nell sniffed the wonderful floral scent of Elysia's hair with closed eyes. Still, she suddenly realized sothing through their spirit connection. "Hm? Is there sothing bothering you, and want to do sothing about it?"
"Yes, it's about Ariel." Elysia sent so details to Nell, Rhea and Lifa via their mind sync.
"Oh, that would be easy if it were you. Only you and this old lady can pull off such a feat." Nell nodded in understanding but didn't think it was a big deal.
"Hm, do you feel tough and strong, little one?" The corners of Lifa's lips twitched, feeling slightly offended.
"Ah, no, no. Ely, help . She is a demon. We work day and night like no tomorrow, but she has no rcy. Only your master and my big sister get proper rest. Huhu..." Nell feigned her pitiful friend and asked for protection from Elysia.
"I rember soone saying that a divine being would be fine even if he didn't eat or sleep for months." Elysia put her finger to her cheek and glanced up slightly.
"I will die if I don't taste your cooking for months. I can't live without you. I feel 'hourngy' now." Nell pouted at the end of her sentence, which made what she was saying unclear.
"!?" Elena was the first to misunderstand. She imdiately picked up the little fairy away from Elysia.
"Hey, let go. What do you want?" Nell threw so tantrums. She was tired and wanted to eat Elysia's cooking now.
"Good, good, let the horny flow through you. You are targeting Ely as an outlet?" Elena brought her face closer to Nell's.
"Why are you saying such improper things? I am a pure, innocent, and holy Goddess. Ely, let's leave your indecent master and have lunch together. After that, we can go out to deal with Ariel's predicant." Nell smirked, then freed herself from Elena's fingers. She returned to Elysia's shoulder and puffed her chest as if she were a winner.
It was the first ti she got the upper hand in an exchange with Elena.
"Ah, Ely... If you are going out, please take my telecommunications tablet too. Please let know if my parent sends a ssage." Evelyn took out a stone tablet and sent it flying to Elysia.
"Mm, I will tell you via telepathy. If you are able to move, please tell via telepathy." Elysia replied with an ok hand gesture.
"Mkay... But, ah, we'll be skipping lunch." Evelyn gave a thumbs up.
"If there is food in front of you, can you eat it? Your hands are still difficult to move." Ella smiled in amusent.
"I can eat like a good fox, but right now I have no appetite. Bla that stupid monster." Yuuki complained and closed her eyes. She wanted to recover quickly.
"You can use the etiquette of a beast, eh? What can we do? We can't move yet, but we can join in on dinner tonight." Sylvia groaned.
"Goddess Ely, thank you." Ariel once again expressed her gratitude.
"All good. But, don't call by that title outside, okay? My identity remains secret. Please rest well for now. We'll be back tonight." Elysia waved her hand to everyone.
She and the Goddesses then left the room, providing a serene atmosphere for those who needed to recuperate.
