<h4>Chapter 656: Impromptu Rescue</h4>


    "Who is this girl? Do you know her?" Xero wondered while looking at the girl who was lying on the floor.


    "Mm, she is a friend. But, she seems to be kidnapped and held captive by the bad guys. Tic, Sylvi, Vann, I want you to move something I request. Can you do it?" Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Somehow, she found this situation very familiar when she had just met Sylvia.


    She could see that there was a group of armed men out there. Those evil people seem to be celebrating their sess at something.


    Sylvia and Vanessa expressed their agreement, but not to Xero. He puffed out his chest and looked to the side. "Why should I take your word for it?"


    At that moment, telepathic messages suddenly came to his mind in turn.


    ''Just follow Elysia''s directions, and be a good boy for your good.'' Rhea warns for themon good.


    ''Try going against Elysia and you will face me too. You really want to fight, right? I''ll beat you up if that''s what you want.'' Elena gave a threat instead.


    "..." Xero was speechless. These two Goddesses were clearly somewhere else, but they kept an eye on what was happening outside, especially to Elysia.


    "Sigh, what do you want me to do?" Xero relented and joined this little human girl game.


    Elysia then exined her n. They were all still enveloped by the barrier and invisibility. No one could hear or see them.


    Meanwhile, a small party was being held outside the captive room. They ate and drank withughter and joy. Almost each of the criminals had something that gleamed with gold.


    "Haha! Even though this is a crazy stunt, the results we got are amazing. We just have to stay away from Japan, and we''ll be safe. Even the strongest ns won''t be able to beat us if they can''t find us, haha!" A fat manughed loudly and devoured a piece of fried chicken.


    "Who would have thought that girl can really turn anything into precious gems, mostly gold, with just a touch. I''m sure the Minamoto n and the Japanese soldiers are greatly dismayed because their most precious princess can''t be found anywhere, keke." A man with an eyepatch refilled his beer ss while ying with a golden knife in his hand.


    "It''s all thanks to the camouge skill, Tetsuo bro. He can trick everyone and bring the treasure princess into the wolf''s den of no return."


    "All hail for everyone. If we go back to Ennd, the Queen will probably behead us with the guillotine, haha!"


    "Sshh, we''re not British soldiers in the first ce."


    "Hey, what happens if we bang her? Will our stick be golden dong?"


    "Meh, you might be a golden statue for scaring her so much. Don''t touch our living treasure with your dirty hands. We can be ultra rich easily just by having her to create lots of precious metal for us. Fck soldiers and nationalism, we are now independent! "


    "Well, say that again when we get to Russia. We have a great ce there. Japan and Minamoto n will never see Erina again forever."


    "Jajaja, we have a gold-producing factory without the need to own a gold mine."


    As the subordinates exchanged thoughts inughter, the fat man frowned as he just realized something. "Wait, have you fed her? You tied her tightly and kept her mouth shut, right?"


    One of the men in British army uniforms raised his hand and answered. "That girl threatened to kill herself, sir. So I knocked her out, tied her up and gagged her mouth."


    "Hm, looks like we need to inject some narcotics to make her submissive and obedient. We also need to brainwash her to ensure everything." The fat man stroked his chin and nodded. He then continued to eat his fried chicken.


    Unbeknown to them, someone was recording their rotten conversation from the shadow of a corner of the room.


    Sylvia pressed a button on Elysia''s smartphone and transformed herself into a sh of ck mist. She returned to the captive room through the gap under the door.


    "Uhh..." Elysia tried to break the rope that bound Erina with the dagger. Still, it was a futile effort because Erina was tied with a golden rope. She looked once more at Erina.


    Erina had multiple shes, and her clothes were torn. There were tear marks on the corners of her eyes and cheeks. Also, some dried blood on her hands and feet. On top of that, the technique used to bind Erina was clearly performed by a pervert. It was a bondage technique.


    ''What are those Japanese soldiers doing, huh? Didn''t she travel with her grandfather? Why did this poor girl end up in the hands of the kidnappers? We just left her for the night, didn''t we?'' Elena asked in wonder.


    ''Mm, we don''t know what happened. Erina was still unconscious. Her grandfather was at the Great Master level, and the soldiers were an elite team. Is there some rotten scheme the British elite are working on for this?'' Elysia also wondered, but she couldn''t find an answer.


    ''If we consider the conversations of the bad guys out there, then they are probably spies from other countries or traitors to the country. Erina''s ability is unknown to ordinary people, so all of them were probably previously members of the British elite.'' Elena concluded and was pretty sure of it.


    "Ely, I''ve recorded their conversation as you requested." Sylvia spoke in a whisper-like voice and returned Elysia''s smartphone.


    "Good job, Sylvi." Elysia checked the video in silent mode and nodded in satisfaction. She then took out Celestia from her Space Storage to cut the golden rope that bound Erina.


    "Don''t do it now, Ely. She can wake up at any time, and she will obviously feel panicked and traumatized because of what she just went through. She was probably forced by those bad guys to turn some things into gold. Look at all the wounds she''s suffered. For now, all we need to do is take care of all the bad guys out there." Sylvia held Elysia''s hand and suggested the best solution ording to her.


    ''I think Sylvia''s suggestion is reasonable. We''re on a ne now, and Erina might just make this impromptu rescue mission a mess. Defeat all the bad guys, and force the pilot to fly us to Japan. But, we need to cultivate for a while to achieve all that.'' Elena agreed with the suggestion.


    ''Are we going to get Xero or Sylvi to beat those bad guys?'' Elysia lowered her odachi and calmed herself down. She didn''t need to rush to help Erina, but she needed to do something about their current situation.


    ''Yup, we can get them to do that. Even without magic, their physical strength has already surpassed those of the bad guys. But, you still need magic to protect yourself and Erina.'' Elena stated the obvious.


    Elysia then followed that suggestion and meditated in a portable formation for a while. Vanessa and Sylvia looked after her for it, while Xero looked impatient to taste some fresh blood.


    It was only a five-minute meditation. Elysia then told her n to Sylvia, Vanessa, and Xero.


    The fat man turned his head towards the steel door of the captive room. He told his men to check inside. "Hey, can you hear that? I feel someone''s voice in there. You, check if our gold princess is awake or not."


    "Aye, boss." The designated man saluted and went to the steel door. He unlocked the electronic lock with a passcode and went inside.


    There were no lights in the room, and he had to use an electrontern to check on the gold princess.


    *Stab*


    Something stabbed him right in the neck, and he fell unconscious. No sound was heard after that, and thentern simply turned off.


    The captive room was back to being dark and quiet. The chatter andughter of the criminals gradually died down as they could feel the awkwardness that urred when theirrade entered there and did note back.


    "What is that shit doing? Is he groping that gold princess nice body? He''s a horny virgin who has never seen a pretty girl, huh..." A man in army uniform stood up and entered the room.


    However, he was also like disappearing in the dark, and no sound emerged after that. Everyone instantly became alerted because they felt something was wrong.


    "Turn on the shlight and see what happens in there!" The fat man eximed somewhat frantically. His survival instincts screamed dangerously. He suspected that Erina could break free from the bondage and n a counterattack.


    The extra bright shlight was turned on and directed into the captive room. It was just an ordinary warehouse room. There was nothing unusual, and the girl was still lying on the floor, still tied up.


    The fatty boss looked in there and couldn''t see the whereabouts of the two people who had already entered. Thus, he gave the eye signal to his men to go in there.


    Several people brandished their rifles and entered the captive room warily.


    However, the shlight suddenly went out, and so did the room lights. All went lights just went off for no reason.


    At that moment, a devil''s whisper sounded so close to everyone''s ears. They didn''t know what the devil was saying, but everyone fainted without knowing who the culprit was and how it happened.


    "Too bad, Elysia doesn''t want to see a lot of blood or I will ughter all of you and feast upon your blood." Xeronded on the table and pecked a piece of fancy-looking food. Yet, he threw it out almost instantly. "Bweh, filthy cheap lowly food. Spirit seeds taste better inparison."


    "Good job, everyone. We just need to take care of the pilot now." Elysia came out of the captive room and smiled at Xero, Sylvia, and Vanessa. They acted swiftly to make these bad guys faint.
