Chapter 687: Back Together

"Nee, Eve, I remember Joanna and co are from the same kingdom as you. Are they still your subordinates?" Elysia was reminded of those four cheerful girls.

"Hmm, as much as they want to help me, the situation doesn"t allow them to do that. Their families are involved in logistics, and they obviously have to help. But, at least, I know they are safe in their respective hometowns." Evelyn smacked her chin and looked north. They had flown far from the northern region.

"Rather than that, I have something more interesting. Would you like to hear it?" Evelyn put her hands together. She remembered something and couldn"t hide her smile because of it.

"Hmm, I"d like to hear too. What kind of exciting news is that? Please don"t tell me that a holy hero was summoned from the heavenly realm to help us eliminate those accursed monsters." Sylvia joined the conversation enthusiastically.

"Hehe, they"re not holy heroes, but they call themselves the Light Guardians." Evelyn shook her head slightly.

"Light Guardian? Is it a new organization?" Elysia glanced at Nell, but the latter didn"t know anything regarding it.

"That"s not an organization, but a group. Do you remember the core b.a.l.l.s you gave to Brian, David, Austin, and the others? Yup, they are very active on duty to become elemental guardian heroes. I heard they are even willing to do whatever it takes to uphold the truth. and justice in the name of light." Evelyn hummed a little after saying that.

"They, what did they do?" Elysia widened her eyes slightly. It was as if she could imagine a group of people with flashy costumes in action with various Tokusatsu-like special effects.

"Hehe, Ely, you made several heroes born to uphold the truth in the name of light. That must be fun to see." Sylvia covered her mouth in a light chuckle.

"Hehe..." Elysia just chuckled softly and glanced at Rhea and Nell. They knew very well that what she gave her acquaintances was none other than the first trial prototypes in the creation of divine battlesuits.

Even though those core b.a.l.l.s could be said to be defective products of failure, they were still precious artifacts forged by the involvement of two G.o.ddesses.

"Isn"t that great?" Rhea put her hands together and replied with a tender smile.

"Those boys? They want to be heroes or something, hmm?" Vanessa stroked her chin in thought. She knew it very well that those boys had particular intentions toward her master.

"Those cores are from Ely, right? Perhaps, they want to use everything they can to uphold Ely"s name? I mean, they got their borrowed power from Ely, right? They even dared to act as messengers of holy light. Did they have any involvement with Ely"s master?" Yuuki raised her finger for attention.

"Hum, you have a point, Yuuki. But, let"s say it addressed to the G.o.ddess of Blessings." Vanessa nodded in agreement.

"Ehm, this might be a bit late to ask, but I"m still wondering about this. Can I know who this adorable beastkin girl is? Is she perhaps Yuuki"s friend?" Evelyn pointed her palm at the white-haired girl near Yuuki.

"You don"t recognize me, Evelyn? I"m Vanessa, Master of Elysia"s pet. Please don"t call me adorable because I"m fierce." Vanessa introduced herself with a hand-claw gesture.

"P-pet!? Oh, it"s you, Vann. I still recognize your voice, but who would have thought you had the form of a beastkin now. Did you just break through to Saint-level?" Evelyn gaped in surprise for a glimpse of a moment. She then dropped her fist onto her open palm while putting everything into consideration.

If she didn"t know about the relationship between Elysia and Vanessa beforehand, Vanessa"s introduction would definitely sound different and interpreted as a wicked thing.

"En! Thanks to the blessings I received, I somehow ascended to Saint-level last night." Vanessa replied excitedly. She felt that she had just accomplished something good.

"Somehow? You breakthrough to Saint-level without knowing how? You didn"t enter into seclusion, cultivation, or the like?" Evelyn tilted her head slightly.

"No, I didn"t do anything like that. All I did was sleep on the master"s tummy as usual. However, I was already like this when morning came. My current power is also at an Initial Stage Saint Beast level." Vanessa looked at her hands and moved her fingers. She could feel the incredible power within her delicate fingers.

"Ooh~ So it"s like that~" Evelyn had an epiphany and reflexively glanced at Elysia"s tummy.

"Hmm, I don"t think so, Eve. Vann is indeed at the end of his ascension to Saint-level. She has her clan"s legacy, and many things have happened. It"s only a matter of time for Vann to advance to Saint-level." Elysia covered her tummy with both hands because she wasn"t comfortable with Evelyn"s strange gaze.

"Hehe, I know, Ely. I have no idea lying on your tummy, really." Evelyn replied with a V hand gesture.

"That"s Holy City! We"re almost there." Sylvia exclaimed while pointing ahead.

"A-ahh, now I also want to know what happened to Lavely Pizza and many other things." Elysia arranged the schedule of events in her mind. She would be pretty busy today with a lot of things.

"Our business is still hitting the market with great enthusiasm. But, we can"t help but have to send quite many squads to meet demand around the battlefield." Evelyn heaved a subtle sigh.

"Ayla and the others need to work extra for that." Elysia shook her head with a smile. Their business would also need to help with logistics.

They went straight to the Holy Cathedral when they arrived in the Holy City because Nell informed everyone that Gio was there.

Their arrival was unknown to anyone, and no one was aware of their presence until they arrived at their destination.

"Hm, can you find out where Gio is, Vann? He doesn"t really like being in the room for too long... Maybe, he"s playing around the river?" Elysia tried to use her advanced perception, but she couldn"t find Gio that easily.

"Affirmative, master. I will look for him." Vanessa gave a slight bow of respect and hurried off to explore the river area.

"Master, do you want me to look for Gio too?" Yuuki pointed to her face to volunteer.

"No need, Yuuki. Vann will suffice. You"ll help me with something later. Let"s go inside to meet Ella." Elysia went to the eastern part of the Holy Cathedral.

She could see that Ella and the other priests were busy giving advanced treatment to seriously injured patients.

"Holy Knight Magnus, are you sure you can do this? I can only do something of that level once a day, and you can"t overturn your decision halfway." Ella asked a badly injured holy knight. She seemed to feel sick just to see the suffering that her patient was experiencing.

"Hiss, huff, well, you can do that. I don"t think I could live another day with this level of injury. What does it mean to live a hundred or two hundred years shorter? That"s much better than suffering a lifetime." Magnus hissed in pain and drowned out all his pain. Yet, he felt a little relieved because he finally got his turn to get help from the capable one.

"Okay, if you are sure of your decision. Then, excuse me." Ella put her hands together and closed her eyes. "Garlyas, please lend me your divine power to help this wounded brave holy knight."

A ball of light appeared between Ella"s palms, and it immediately formed a golden staff. She held it and brought her other hand towards the heavily injured holy knight.

Magnus could see himself enveloped in a warm and comfortable golden light. He felt his nonexistent left hand suddenly regenerate to form a new limb. The same thing happened to his right leg.

Other than that, he felt his stomach churning, and it was a little itchy. However, he could see that his stomach wound was slowly healing. Everything was visible to the eyes, and several people in the surroundings watched the scene in admiration.

After all, Ella, the Holy Princess Gabriella Celestine, was known as a n.o.ble and holy figure. The G.o.ddess of Blessings has even appointed this girl to glory with the recognition of being the divine"s servant.

After ten minutes, Ella could no longer continue her high-level recovery magic because she had already reached her limit. Even though it was her battlesuit"s support, she couldn"t heal more than that.

"I can feel my left hand and right leg again! My tummy, my belly is whole again! Hahaha! This is really amazing. Long live Holy Princess, Long live the glory of holy light and blessings!" Magnus inspected his entire body with great joy.

He was a Saint-level holy knight with the heaviest injuries after the battle in the south a few days ago. Due to the severity of the injuries, he was brought to the Holy City for treatment. However, who would have thought he would be healed as if he had never been injured before.

"Hum-mm~ He looks delighted. You"ve worked hard, Ella. Here, for you to wipe your sweat." Someone held out a handkerchief from the side.

"Mn, thank you." Ella panted slightly and accepted the handkerchief without hesitation. She wiped her sweat with it.

At that moment, she froze because the girl"s voice beside her was so familiar yet close. Not many people casually call her with that p.r.o.noun.

Ella immediately turned to the side and gasped in surprise at the sight before her eyes. Elysia, Evelyn, Sylvia, Yuuki, and the three divine beings were there.
