Chapter 697: After Handling the Six Star Sealed Area.

"Phew, today was quite exhausting, but everything was eventful. We"re getting closer to a world without the threat of cursed creatures." Nell threw herself onto the newly laid futon.

"Yeah, that way we can go with peace of mind." Rhea muttered softly while glancing at the sleeping Elysia.

"Eh? Why do you say it like that, big sister? It"s as if you"re going a long way." Nell propelled her body to sit. She felt that there was something profound behind that casual statement.

"That"s because I will follow my masters wherever they go. I"m not sure we"ll stay in this world forever while there are so many things to explore." Rhea replied with a mysterious smile.

"Hm, I"ve heard of that before. However, you won"t just leave me behind, will you? Right?" Nell emphasized the last sentence as if she was asking for rea.s.surance.

"Fufu, you need to ask my masters for that." Rhea gave a wink and glanced at Elena.

"Lifa will obviously come too. Uh, wait. Do you intend to leave me alone while you all have fun out there? Elena, please tell me that you won"t leave me behind." Nell immediately flew over and asked Elena for rea.s.surance.

"Sshh, please stay calm and quiet. Ely just fell asleep." Elena put her index finger to her lips while running her hand through Elysia"s hair. Elysia had fallen asleep with her lap as a pillow, and she didn"t want any disturbance.

"O-oh, okay." Nell looked down and nodded in a whisper.

"You can come along, but that"s up to Ely. Hmm, wait a minute. If you go with us, then how do we get back? We"re using you as a marker for this world, right? What should we do, hmm?" Elena tapped her chin as if she was considering something difficult.

"We"re going to find a more effective way of doing that. I"ll be making an inter-dimensional world marker technique for it soon. That way, all of you will have no reason to leave me behind. You can"t have fun without me." Nell folded her arms with conviction on her face.

"Then, please find that technique before next month." Elena put her hands together with a smile on her face.

"Fine, I"ll do it soon then." Nell returned to her big sister"s side.

"Isn"t that a good thing? However, what is your plans regarding your loyal followers? I"ve been relieved of the Fairy Race and the Elven Race responsibilities. Still, you and the Human Race are completely different, aren"t you?" Rhea folded her hands on her lap. She wanted to know what her little sister had in mind regarding such a delicate matter.

"Even if that"s true, humans cannot bind me if I wish to go to another world. They can live without the existence of a divine being to guide them. They will continue to evolve and evolve. I wonder if the existence of a G.o.d is still necessary in this world to be at peace?" Nell lay on her futon. She racked her brain to think of a marker-related technique that wasn"t affected by the dimensions and the world laws.

"..." Elena glanced sideways. She shook her head slightly as she knew what Sylvia was trying to do among the girls.

That night, everyone got ample rest to face a tomorrow that would obviously be filled with many battles.

The sound of the peaceful rustling of the beach waves entered Elysia"s ears as she was awakened from her sleep. The first thing she saw was someone"s smooth white neck.

Elysia took a few seconds to realize her current situation.

"Am I being hugged tightly in my sleep? This is the real me, not my spirit. Luckily, Elena didn"t strangle me to death by burying my face in her b.r.e.a.s.t.s..." Elysia muttered in her mind with a sigh of relief, but her face slowly flushed red as she felt embarra.s.sed.

Therefore, she immediately tried to carefully free herself from Elena"s embrace. She propelled her body to sit down, then checked her surroundings.

Rhea and Nell lay next to her, but her friends looked like they had just had a pajama party in yukata last night. They seemed so defenseless in their current state.

At that moment, Elysia looked down at her own body. She was also wrapped in a yukata, somehow. She covered her chest reflexively and looked at Elena. "Elena changed my dress while I was sleeping?"

"Heehee, good morning, sweetie. Why is your face flushed red in the morning? Did something fun happen?" Elena rested her head on her hands and greeted with a meaningful smile.

"No, it"s nothing." Elysia shook her head. She didn"t want to get into Elena"s game because she knew she would be teased more. "Where are the others? I mean, Gio and the Sea G.o.d?"

"Oh my, you haven"t answered my good morning greeting, and you"re trying to turn your back on me by looking for someone else? Huhuu, Ely is being a meanie." Elena pretended to be sad.

"No, it"s not like that. I mean, they weren"t around. Uhm, good morning to you, Elena. I"m still too embarra.s.sed to look at you because-" Elysia stopped her speech and blushed even more.

"Because?" Elena sat up, but her yukata loosened and exposed quite a lot of her skin because of her movement. Elysia moved spontaneously to tidy up Elena"s yukata for the common good.

"Please pay more attention to yourself. You"re just wearing a yukata with nothing underneath." Elysia reminded Elena with a sigh of relief.

"Would you like to see me more? Fufu, but it"s not good at this time, Ely. Wait until we are in our private time~" Elena pressed her finger to Elysia"s lips while smiling mischievously.

"Wha-wha, what? That"s uhh, why are you being so naughty? That sounds naughty. I"ll pa.s.s!" Elysia immediately covered her mouth and backed away a little. She didn"t know what possessed Elena, but her guardian angel had become even more mischievous than she remembered.

At that moment, Elysia froze for a moment. She could recall that she had a strange dream last night. It was rare for her to dream in her sleep, but it was like a Deja Vu about something. She just couldn"t remember the details. It was a blurry memory of a girl"s story, a miserable life that ended in tragedy.

"Is there something wrong?" Elena no longer teased Elysia and approached worriedly.

"It feels a bit strange. It"s just that I had a strange dream last night. However, I can"t remember it clearly. It"s like a sad story of someone." Elysia lowered her hands from her face.

"Hm, another dream, and it"s a sad story, huh... We need to be more vigilant then. You rarely have dreams when you sleep, and that might be a sign of something. However, everything will be alright." Elena patted Elysia"s arm gently.

"Mm." Elysia just nodded. She and Elena then woke everyone else up.

That morning, they would have a hearty breakfast for everyone. Therefore, everyone should help with kitchen matters. And, of course, no one objected either.

"Nom, nom, hum, I feel full and satisfied. Last night wasn"t bad, but this breakfast is truly the best. Anyway, what are we going to do today? Hunt down some accursed monsters and look for some more seabed sealed areas?" Sylvia wiped her mouth with a tissue and patted her stomach. She then looked at everyone around the table.

"I have already said this, but let me repeat it. The sealed area in the Aquatic Ocean is not that many, but there are six hazardous spots. We discovered one yesterday, and it is at the center of the six-star sealed area. We need to find the other five because they may have or will collapse soon." Oceanid brought up the topic of their current problems.

"So, there are five others, and they are near yesterday"s sea battle? We have less than a week to settle the Aquatic Ocean sealed area issue. Shall we leave now?" Elena clapped her hands.

"Mm, let"s go." Elysia nodded in agreement.

"Oh!" Sylvia raised her hand with pa.s.sion. Her energy and spirit were replenished, and now it was time to get back into action.

The girls tidied up their things before leaving the island for more deep-sea exploration.

Three days pa.s.sed just to sweep the five most dangerous seabed sealed areas Oceanid was concerned about. Four of the five had already collapsed a few days before they arrived. The black ink sea was filled with thousands of monsters roaming around inside the dangerous domain.

Meanwhile, the last one broke when Oceanid was setting a trap there. All of them became great battles nonetheless.

Fortunately, they won all those battles in absolute victory with only minor, insignificant injuries.

They continued their deep-sea exploration on the fourth day until all of the Aquatic Ocean and surrounding seas had been briefly explored.

"Are you sure that there are no more sealed areas in this ocean?" Oceanid put his hands together in question. After exterminating all accursed creatures in the six-star sealed area, he became incredibly calm and peaceful.

"Yeah, we"re sure of that. I"d be more concerned if there were sealed areas on other seas. What do you think, Sea G.o.d?" Elena heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head.

Oceanid went silent in contemplation and stared at the vast ocean around him. He stretched out his hand to take some seawater and answered confidently. "As for that, I think other sealed areas may exist in other seas, but they are very few in number. I have explored all the oceans worldwide in the last two weeks. If anything is missed, we"ll know when those accursed monsters appeared on the surface. we will handle them when the time comes."

"Then, we can ignore that probability for now. Since the six-star sealed area you were worried about no longer exists, now is the time for us to return to the mainland. Alright... our current position is close to the Dwarven Continent. Let"s head over there first to check that place and those battle junkie dwarves." Elena suggested while looking at the world map.

"That"s a good thing. We can continue to the Fairy Continent, then to a few other continents until we return to the Human Continent. After that, we can check out the Devil Continent as our last stop. That way, we"ll be traveling around the world in order." Nell was the first to agree with the proposal because she thought it was more effective.

Everyone else also had no objections. Because of that, their destination was clear, and Oceanid immediately controlled the Gravy Ark towards the north. Their deep-sea exploration ended, and it was time for them to come back to the ground.
