<h4>Chapter 688: Undiscovered Sealed Areas</h4>
"Ely, you''re back!? I missed you and was wondering when you''d be back. You don''t know how restless the Goddess of Blessings has been since that day. But thank goodness you''re all right. I feel happy and at ease." E held Elysia''s hand emotionally.
"Ehm, we''re fine. Thanks for worrying about us. You''ve just pushed yourself to use high-level magic far beyond your capabilities. You''re taking on a significant bacsh now. Allow me to guide you to the seat over there. I''m afraid you will copse at any moment." Elysia grabbed E''s arm and guided this priest to the bench.
"B- But..." E wanted to salute the Goddess of Blessings and the other two divine beings, but her legs wouldn''t listen to her orders to move.
"Just listen to what Ely has to say, E. You can''t even move, and your divine priest suit has been automatically deactivated." Evelyn immediately helped Elysia guide E to the bench.
E''s divine priest battlesuit turned into particles and went to E''s ne. She was currently d in a priest''s white-gold uniform.
"Uh, um." E just nodded meekly as she had no power left in her body. She never thought that the bacsh would be like this.
The priests and knights in that ce immediately knelt and saluted the Goddess of Blessings. The faithful followers conveyed their words of praise toward their Goddess.
Unfortunately, Rhea and Oceanid didn''t want to involve themselves in Nell''s interaction. They went closer to Elysia to check on E''s condition.
"Hm, a divine artifact used by a young human. The bacsh is proof of your limits. Please use it wisely and carefully, young girl. You won''t know when it will kill you because of your carelessness." Oceanid gave a piece of advice and folded his arms.
"Don''t be so mean, Sea God. But, well, the one you were forced to use earlier is rare top-tier healing magic that can be used by Saint-level or above. However, your body and power aren''t ready to use such magic even with the help of your divine battlesuit. Please pay attention to your limits next time, okay? Ely definitely doesn''t want to see you suffer either." Rhea gave a piece of tender advice with a smile.
"I see. I''ll pay attention to my limits next time." E lowered her head like a guilty child.
"En, I almost did the same before. I almost used magic far beyond my limits. However, Ely and the reinforcements came to save the day. So, I canceled that intention, hehe..." Evelyn chuckled lightly to lighten the atmosphere.
"You too, Eve? Uhh, well, the bacsh gets worse every time you push beyond your limits. Please be careful because the risk is still there. The borrowed power of divine artifacts is unfriendly when you can''t put it under control. The worst thing is that you will be controlled by it." Elysia just gave a gentle reminder. She believes her friends were aware of the risks.
"Hmm? That reminds me of a mortal warrior in the past. He died in the war, but his body was kept alive because of his divine artifact. His divine armor took control of its master''s dead body and lived as if he was still alive." Oceanid stroked his chin as he nced up.
"Necromancy? Undead? Sorcery? Hmm, does our divine battlesuit also have that effect? I wonder…" Rhea put her hand to her cheek and nced at Elysia.
*gulp*
Evelyn and E paled a bit. They could only gulp their saliva with some nervousness. They then hastily said they would be more careful and think before using that borrowed power.
"Fufu, worry not. We didn''t scare you guys, did we? Let''s go. There''s a bit of a stubborn little one over there." Rhea smiled in amusement while looking to the side.
Elysia also looked to the side, in the direction where Rhea was staring. With her advanced perception, she could see Vanessa had a hard time persuading Gio.
Vanessa even had to drag that brown tortoise away, but Gio still insisted on refusing.
"Hehe, Gio hasn''t recognized Vann''s new form yet and misunderstood her for someone suspicious." Elysia also smiled in amusement. She then stood up. "I''m going to see Gio first. He''ll probably believe everything if he sees I''m back."
"Then I will go with you." Rhea nodded in agreement.
"Me too!" Yuuki raised her hand to volunteer.
"Let''s go!" Evelyn also raised her hand.
"No, we''ll be right back. You all please apany E here. The Goddess of Blessings will immediately help E when she is done with her small business there, fufu..." Rhea covered her mouth. She then left with Elysia and Yuuki.
A few dozen meters east of the Medical Center building, Vanessa was dragging a mini earth dragon that looked like a tortoise at a nce. She received difficulty because Gio did not believe she was Vanessa, his senior.
"Meow, meow, rawr, grr..." Vanessa spoke in beastnguage.
"Grrr..." Gio shook his head repeatedly and stuck all his ws into the ground to emphasize his refusal. He also threatened to attack if this continued.
"You''re so stubborn. Do I have to change to my beast form before you can believe me? But I don''t want the master''s dress to get dirty. Plus, there''s a lot of people around here... What should I do now?" Vanessa snorted and looked around.
At that moment, Vanessa''s eyes sparkled as she saw Elysia approaching. Her difficulty was already known by her master.
"???" Gio also realized who wasing. It was none other than the one he had been waiting for thest two weeks.
He immediately rushed to Elysia andy down like a good boy near her feet.
"Oh my, you recognized me right away, Gio? Nice to see you again. Have you been doing well and being friendly in thest two weeks?" Elysia crouched down and gave Gio some head pats.
"I''m sorry, master. Gio doesn''t believe that I am Vanessa, his senior. He thinks that I am someone who is trying to deceive him." Vanessa apologized with a helpless expression.
"Hmm-mm, you now look like a beautiful beastkin, after all. After all that, I didn''t expect him to ignore your aura and voice and persist in his belief." Elysia shook her head slightly.
"But, he immediately recognized you, master. Also, my aura has changed somewhat since I advanced to Saint-level. Perhaps, that''s why Gio doubted my credibility." Vanessa put her hand to her chin while looking at Gio. She then just shrugged her shoulders to put the matter aside.
After that, Gio joined the group, and they reentered the Medical Center building.
At that time, Nell had already provided a favor to E. Nell also recently yed the Goddess of Blessings and healed the patients who needed her divine help.
Since the business there was over, they were ready to leave.
Elysia and her group spent three hours apanying Elysia to check several things. Starting from Lavely Pizza to somewhat trivial things.
It only took them three hours. They decided to leave the Holy City because something kept bothering Oceanid''s mind, namely the undiscovered sealed areas in the open ocean.
Since Elysia and the Goddess of Light were around, Oceanid wanted them to help him spot those dangerous ces.
"E, your grandfather is still in the Western Region? You wille with us, but have you told him?" Nellnded on E''s shoulder.
"I already informed my grandfather of everything via this gold talisman a while ago. My grandfather has given his consent as well." E took out a gold talisman.
"Eh? Why are we taking a detour? Wouldn''t it be faster if we went that way?" Evelyn asked in wonder.
"No, I''m afraid Rosa sees me. We''re still taking the detour, sir." Elysia told the coachman to focus on her request.
"All right." The coachman just nodded.
Elysia then closed the small window and sat down, feeling relieved.
"Fufu, who would have thought that the Goddess''s disciple would be afraid of a human. Really, what would scare you if Rosa saw you?" Oceanid somehow found it funny and silly.
"I just don''t want her throwing tantrums or something to make me a model for her. I''m not ready right now, um, don''t want to do that again." Elysia sped her hands and shook her head.
She then closed her eyes to check what Elena was doing in the Soul Realm. ''Sister Elena, you seem quite busy since you woke up. Can''t we finish decorating our roomter?''
''Hmm, we can do that, Ely. However, we still have a big project here, namely the construction of a great realm. We will name this realm Elysian Realmter. Unfortunately, it will take quite a long time. Therefore, we will start to create the perfect room of our dreams first. Let me sort out the material you createdst night, and I''ll be by your side soon, Ely~'' Elena replied with a wink and a meaningful smile.
''Actually, we are now going to the Aquatic Continent. Possibly to the various oceans of the world due to Oceanid''s anxiety. He said that several Emperor-level ursed monsters are sealed, but we don''t know where they are yet. Let''s expect some undiscovered dangerous sealed areas.'' Elysia reported and just let Elena continue their room arrangement.
''That exploration will take quite some time, but alright. I need to finish setting up and decorating our room first, Ely. I''ll be right there for you. Ah, I also want to see our cat, I mean our tigress live now, hehe... I''m d my wish came true. Vann''s human form is an attractive beastkin.'' Elena chuckled happily and continued her work.
After the holy cathedral golden carriage arrived at the city gate, Elysia''s group got off and went outside. They then boarded the Gravy Ark and flew east with Oceanid as the pilot.
