Chapter 349: Resting Atop a Steep Cliff

Elves, fairies, and dwarves looked at each other then stared at the group of other races. The G.o.ddess of Light simply disappeared right after giving a shocking summary of important information.

If that information was the truth, then this world would be shrouded in the turmoil of the fierce battle, decisive war.

"We shall return to the Dwarven Continent! The Almighty G.o.ddess has conveyed her revelation. It is time for us to work to serve the divine light." Nuraddir shouted to his army while raising his ax high.

"We need to prepare for a decisive war!"

"A dangerous race that has destroyed civilization, history, and life in our world buried deep beneath the earth! We shall destroy those monsters!"

"Sealed areas will collapse in a few months. We need to be prepared to defend our homeworld from the invasion of those d.a.m.ned creatures!"

"UOHH!!!"

The other three Dwarven Emperors shouted for reinforcing orders from Nuraddir. Then, the dwarves cheered in unison. After that, they went to their destroyed Floating Fortress to retrieve some essential items before leaving the scene without saying goodbye to fairies or elves.

"Hum, we need to get back." Ashera gave a command to the rune. Heavenly Valhalla turned around and sped away toward the Elven Continent without lingering any further.

The enlightenment and information they got from the G.o.ddess of Light needed to be confirmed even though it was very likely true. Apart from that, they also needed to discuss countermeasures to deal with that curse-bearing monsters.

At that moment, only the fairies were still hovering over the giant crater with their Celestial Lotus. They watched as the two armies flew away in silence for a few moments.

"Empress Yralissa, we should go back to Zhadphis Woodland for this matter. We need to discuss how to deal with accursed monsters. We also need to confirm the truth behind the information provided by the G.o.ddess of Light, just in case." One of the Fairy Emperors flew to Yralissa"s side and suggested.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with confirming the truth. Please give the message to our spies on Human Continent and Devil Continent." Yralissa nodded in agreement. Then, she looked toward the east. "However, before we return, we need to meet the fairies who live around here. The Guardian Clan has lived near the Tree of Life for tens of thousands of years."

"That Guardian Clan, hmm... The- Eh? Wait, the divine magic cast by the G.o.ddess of Light didn"t have any effect on the seal for that huge earth dragon, right? The Tree of Life is also gone... Will that be-" Another Fairy Emperor stroked his chin worriedly.

"There is no upheaval on the sealing hill. Nevertheless, let"s visit that hill and the Guardian Clan to find out information from their point of view." One of the Fairy Empress stated what she saw. The bluish hill with a blue tree was still there in a peaceful state.

"All right, let"s go." Yralissa stated her conclusion. Thus, she and the fairies went to the blue hill with their Celestial Lotus.

Meanwhile, Elena had just arrived at a peaceful place thousands of kilometers north of Ancient Woodland. She found a steep mountain that she considered was suitable as a temporary resting place.

Elena revoked the bubble-like barrier and the invisible magic shortly after she and the others landed in a large cave atop a steep cliff. "Vann, please transform into your big winged tiger form."

The white cat glanced at her master, who was not like her master. She was a little confused and tilted her head slightly. "Uhm, are you my master or grandmaster?"

"I am your master"s master." Elena checked the cave thoroughly, and it was completely empty without any danger.

"En, Vann understands, grandmaster." Vanessa nodded and immediately transformed into the great white-winged tiger.

After that, she was instructed to lie down in the corner of the cave. Thus, she just did it without delay and without the slightest suspicion.

"Nice." Elena caught Rhea and put the sleeping G.o.ddess to lean on Vanessa"s body.

After putting the golden oval ball in Rhea"s arms, Elena also leaned on Vanessa"s body. She literally treated Vanessa as a pillow and an emergency bed.

"Vann, Ely, and I are going to rest for a while. Please protect us, okay?" Elena stroked Vanessa"s body while staring at the latter"s face with a faint smile.

"Ah-oh, please leave it to me, grandmaster! Your safety is my priority." Vanessa was pleasantly surprised, but she felt honored to do so.

In all her time with her master, she never once acted as a protector for her master. It was always the other way around. So, she was delighted and proud to hear that.

At that very second, Vanessa became confused once again. Her grandmaster used her master"s body, so was her master also her grandmaster? Were they actually one with two existences? Maybe, two separate personalities or something?

Vanessa"s tiger brain couldn"t process the knowledge and understanding beyond that. It was divine knowledge, and her master was a divine existence. Yes, her grandmaster was her master and vice versa, two in one. Vanessa nodded to her conclusion.

"That"s pleasant to hear. You can ask the little G.o.ddess over there for some snacks." Elena smiled and pointed at Nell with just an eye code, then she took a sleeping position.

Elena also used her magic subtly to protect herself because she didn"t want to use any area of effect magic during her rest with Elysia.

Before she slept, she gave orders to the little G.o.ddess, who was looking around curiously. "Little one, please guard this cave against anything. Use your divine magic to seal this place. Your big sister, this old granny, and I"ll rest. You also brought some food, right? Share it with Vann."

"Uh, wa-" Nell finally realized she was being asked to be a guard. Nevertheless, she didn"t object to it even though all her curious questions had just been ignored by Elena.

"Well... I just need to protect this cave, right? That"s easy." Nell floated to the mouth of the cave and used her blessing magic to create a barrier wall. Then, she camouflaged it, so it looked like a rock.

"Hum, this cave will not be visible from the outside and also inaccessible. Just another steep cliff." Nell turned around and flew toward the winged tiger.

Elena caught a glimpse of it, then closed her eyes. She returned to Soul Realm to accompany Elysia.

At the moment, Vanessa was somewhat fl.u.s.tered as her grandmaster"s temperature, and heart rate slowly decreased to the point of dying. Nevertheless, she was not too worried and just a.s.sumed that her grandmaster went into hibernation mode.

"Uhm, Vanessa... Are you hungry? I have some food. Maybe you will like it." Nell landed on the winged tiger"s head. She was a little worried. If this Spirit Beast was starving, then there was a possibility that the hungry tiger would injure her big sister and the others.

Vanessa just nodded, then the little G.o.ddess gave her some food and drink. In retrospect, she had been skipping meals since last night, and it was all because her master was healing the other G.o.ddess. Even though it wasn"t as good as her master"s foods, it was still good enough nonetheless... Rating three out of five.

The white-winged tiger devoured her food happily, then she moved her wing to cover her grandmaster as a blanket.

Meanwhile, Nell glanced at the golden-haired G.o.ddess. Elena no longer possessed six pairs of golden wings and that golden halo.

Nell scratched her head a little because she still didn"t understand how Elena and Elysia could switch positions with the same body. Elena and Elysia possessed one body but two forms?

After some thought, Nell shifted her attention to her big sister and the golden oval ball. She truly felt grateful because Elena and Elysia managed to save two G.o.ddesses at once. Lifa was almost gone forever, but fortunately, it didn"t happen.

It took nearly half a day for Elysia and Elena to recover. The sun had set, and that was the time they woke up. Only the yellowish crystals lit up the dark cave to replace the bonfire.

Elysia opened her hazy eyes with a slightly dizzy head. After a few moments, her vision became bright and clear, the dizziness also disappeared. She looked to the side only to see Rhea and Nell having a light conversation.

"Ah, you are awake. Uhm, before that, are you Elena or Elysia?" Rhea smiled with a warm expression as she saw her savior wake up.

"I"m Elysia. Uhm, how long did we sleep?" Elysia lifted Vanessa"s wing, which served as a blanket. Then, she stretched her body a little by raising her arms up.

However, she felt that her body felt heavier and more restrained, especially in her chest area. She looked down, and sure enough, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were more prominent, and it was clear that she was still in Elena"s form.

"You sleep until night falls, sleepyhead. I thought you would sleep until tomorrow morning. Did you sleep well, Elysia?" Nell flew over and tried to observe Elysia in Elena"s form.

"Mm, that"s enough sleep to release mental fatigue. Excuse me, why are you looking at me so seriously, Nell?" Elysia moved away from Nell for a bit, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"No, I just don"t understand you and Elena. Right now, you are a kind and polite girl, Elysia. But, your form is that meany G.o.ddess." Nell slightly shook her head and scratched her head at the same time.

"Uhm, would you like to speak to my master? I"ll call her in a moment." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.

It was all because of Lifa. She and Elena"s ident.i.ties had been revealed for Nell, Rhea, and Vanessa too. It was just as expected, though.
