Chapter 396: Chapter 410: Sending the ssenger
“Of course it’s true,” said the third Radiant Cloud Angel, who entered the room from the other end with honeydew in hand, “All three of us have followed Lord Eskodel and witnessed the power of this Divine Artifact many tis.”
“So, you’re saying that if we just capture a Demon, and then stab it with this sword, that demon will imdiately appear in the prison within the Court of Stars, right?” Lancelot clapped his hands, “If we place a request for help in the possession of this demon, and then tie the demon up elaborately and add so exaggerated decorations, it’s bound to draw the attention of the prison guards…”
“That won’t work,” said the impatient Radiant Cloud Angel, shaking his head vigorously, “Those Barani guards will absolutely not open the prison doors unless it’s a special circumstance, and although the Queen does inspect the prison regularly, no one knows when she will do it next.”
The crowd fell into a brief silence, then Koula, who was standing in the corner of the room, suddenly spoke:
“Why don’t we just send Elothysia directly?”
“She was killed in another dinsion, so she can’t leave it for ninety-nine years,” Alamir shook his head, “Everyone knows that’s the rule of the Abyss…”
...
“Wait, this might actually work!” Great Elder Quirion’s face lit up with excitent, “This artifact was crafted by Queen Movir with a piece of the Stellar Realm, right? The effect of transporting the target to the Court of Stars might also stem from the power of this piece of the Stellar Realm. Maybe it really can break the bounds of dinsional forces…”
“What exactly is the Stellar Realm?” Lancelot asked Cromwell through a ntal link, keeping his facial expression unchanged so bystanders could not tell that he had not understood at all.
“An accurate definition would take about ten minutes to explain, including a dozen terms you’ve never heard of,” the voice of the skull replied helplessly in his mind, “I have a relatively straightforward booklet here that explains the definition of the Stellar Realm in three sentences. Want the shortened version?”
“Cut the crap and just tell .”
“It’s the space between all matter; it’s the path to all places; when you’re nowhere, you’re in the Stellar Realm,” the skull said mystically, “That’s what the book says. If the various Outer Layers are ships floating on the sea, then the Stellar Realm is the sea itself.”
“Pretty easy to grasp,” Lancelot nodded, “By the way, what’s this booklet called? I might need to read it thoroughly when I have the ti…”
“Dinsional Manual,” the skull explained in a tone that suggested it was introducing so boring literature, “The subtitle is… ‘Mimir’s User Guide, designed for beginners to the dinsions, reading this book will greatly reduce your chances of dying within an hour.”
“Sounds like a good book, you should have told about it sooner.”
“But even if we get her there, the guards still won’t open the door for her,” said another Radiant Cloud Angel with a child of Aira clinging to his hair, nearly shaking down the honeydew and causing the little girl to yank fiercely at his hair, although the towering Aira giant seed to feel nothing.
“Perhaps we could let her bring so tokens?” suggested Kalalin, “Make the guards realize she’s different?”
Everyone in the room looked at each other, but no one could produce a suitable item.
“How about the sword itself?”
Lancelot spoke, raising the Starlight Strike in his hand, “Since you all recognize this sword, then the guards must also be able to recognize it, and it was the Queen’s forr King Consort’s sword, yet we found it beside a body transford into a banshee…”
“The guards would surely report imdiately to the Queen,” another Radiant Cloud Angel quickly added, “If the Royal Court’s guards could move out at once, perhaps they could arrive in ti to rescue Pascaler’s defense forces…”
“You’re Elothysia, right?” the impatient Radiant Cloud Angel suddenly flew in front of the Succubus and grabbed her hand, “Please! Once this is over, if anyone in Androlina dares to refuse your joining the Protectors, I’ll help you beat him up!”
“ too!”
“I’ll join in beating them up!”
Voices of agreent rose from the crowd, one after another, as everyone looked at the beautiful Holy Warrior with anticipation.
“I…” Elothysia took a deep breath, walked up to Lancelot, took the beautiful short sword from the Human Knight’s hands, and solemnly said to everyone in the room, “I promise to fulfill my mission!”
Then she raised the short sword high, about to cut her own neck when Lancelot quickly grabbed her.
“Hey, I said hard by the sword, not killed,” Lancelot said with a helpless face, “Why don’t you try making a small cut on the back of your hand first?”
“Oh.” Elothysia’s face turned red, and instantly, everyone present felt a surge of vitality—after all, she was a Succubus, and although she no longer used her Charm powers since becoming a Holy Warrior, the inadvertent allure she emitted was even more irresistible.
But she herself didn’t notice the others’ reactions. Following Lancelot’s suggestion, the Succubus carefully drew Starlight Strike across the back of her hand. The sharp sword blade imdiately cut through her skin, leaving behind a slender line of blood.
“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to have any effect…” Elothysia said, puzzled, looking at the Great Elder who had said it would be fine, “I don’t feel anything unusual…”
“Dear, look at the top of your head.”
Upon hearing this, Elothysia looked up and saw a blue-white halo appearing above her head at so point.
“Okay then, so…”
Before she could finish speaking, a sudden suction force pulled her fiercely into the halo, and then the light circle quickly closed. There was a faint fragrance in the air, like that of a pine forest after rain.
“Ah, the scent of ho.” Three Radiant Cloud Angels exclaid in unison.
“Let’s set off as well.” Acheron clapped his hands, “Pascaler is being surrounded by ten tis their number of enemies. If we can’t get there quickly, I’m afraid the defenders won’t last until the Royal Court reinforcents arrive. Lancelot, you said you know a secret passage…”
“It’s quite secret, but no matter how subtle, having over two hundred people move through will still make so noise,” Lancelot’s gaze swept over the excited or anxious expressions on everyone’s faces in the room, “That path goes through the castle’s army barracks, and there’s at least half a Demon Legion inside. I need everyone to follow commands, keep quiet, and suppress the impulse to tear this damned castle apart. Don’t forget there’s another castle waiting for us to rescue. Can you all manage that?”
“Yes!!!!!!”
“Nodding is fine, stay quiet.” The Human Knight tilted his head toward one of the exits, “This way.”
