Chapter 380: The Strangled Elf
Chapter 380: The Strangled Elf
Hearing that question, Hea turned around as she grinned with a smug expression. “Hum hum, to shed some light on the confusion. You definitely can’t recognize me even if you see me quite often. Yes, the current me is my newly manifested spirit entity. I am Hea Nirvalen, Heavenly Tree. Are you surprised? That’s for sure, right? Now, show your surprise and praise me.”
Ashera was a little surprised to find out that the greenish talking fluffy ball was actually one of her family members. But, with such a self-centered yet quite funny way of speaking, so that was indeed Hea.
“Oho, oh my my… Our family Hea suddenly has the form of a tiny fluffy ball. It’s amazing. Have you ascended to Empress-level as you often speak? Here, here, allow me to pat you.” Ashera opened her palm for a beckoning gesture.
“Hehe, not now, Ashe.” Hea chuckled and circled in the air. But, she suddenly remembered one of her previous objectives. “Right! Ashe, we need to have a truce with the Fairy Race since we don’t have any grounds left to feud with the fairies, right? My sister is in Fairy Continent and I hope to meet her one day.”
“…” Ashera and the other four elven sovereigns were silent for a moment.
That made Hea a bit awkward. Thus, she puffed out her cheeks, then pursed her lips. “Uhm, well… At least don’t fight the fairies anymore. Al-right?”
“Mm, I’m glad to hear this fluffy ball’s innocence. Your name is Hea, yes?” Elena started stage one of this plan for the elves. To find out the truth from the main source of the dispute between the Fairy Race and the Elven Race.
“That is me.” Hea pointed to herself.
“Alright, now please let us do the talking.” Elena nodded then tapped the table.
Hea complied without question. She just lay down at the table to listen to the next enlightenment.
After that, Elena glanced at Rhea’s avatar. As if understanding it was her turn, Rhea immediately assumed her role as Elven Goddess. “This is the first time we have met. It seems that the five of you have had quite a lot on your mind in the last few days. However, we are here to help you by providing guidance, direction, and enlightenment of the truth.”
“But before all that, allow me to introduce ourselves. I am the Goddess of Nature, the daughter of the Goddess of Life, known as the Tree of Life. In the ancient era, I carried out my mother’s duties at her command and held the title of the Tree of Life for hundreds of thousands of years.
And, because of that, I was worshiped as the Goddess of the elves and the fairies but in my two different forms, namely the Elven Goddess and the Fairy Goddess.” Rhea paused for a moment to see the surprise of the elves before her, but she continued her opening.
“If you need to know, the place where you would wage an interracial battle is where my mother and I are suffering from a deadly curse.
My mother and I sealed ourselves off, until the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Blessings came to our aid. Moreover, also in that place, there were thousands of accursed monsters sealed underground. You are almost fighting in a hazardous zone for everyone.
Beside me is the Goddess of Light herself, then on her right is her precious disciple. Next up is the Goddess of Light, my little sister. And the last ones are our little companions.” Rhea introduced each individual present in her group, but she chose not to mention the two beasts out of concern.
“Please allow me to speak.” Aleratha raised her hand. Then, she started to speak again after receiving a gesture from the Goddess of Nature.
“An Elven Goddess with long green hair and with the a divine appearance. It doesn’t matter if you are the Goddess of Life or the Goddess of Nature. Whatever your title, you are still our Goddess, all praise to the Elven Goddess, the Goddess of Nature.” Aleratha clasped her hands as if sending a prayer.
“Praise to the Elven Goddess, the Goddess of Nature.” One had spoken, and the other followed.
After five seconds had passed, Ashera tried to raise her doubts to find out what had happened. “Then, did the Goddess of Life, the Tree of Life also survive?”
“Mm, my mother survived, thanks to the Almighty Goddess who helped us. My mother is in the process of being reborn in another realm.” Rhea smiled a little while poking the fluffy ball that came to her. She knew Hea was trying to cheer her up a little because of something, but it wasn’t necessary.
“Alright, let’s get to our main topic.” Rhea put Hea back on the table.
“Please, one more thing.” Gaerradh raised his hand, but he glanced at the only fairy in the hall.
“Hum, fine. Say what you want to say, but please don’t look at my little sister in such a disrespectful manner.” Rhea wore a gentle expression, but her gaze said otherwise.
“Uh, my apologies. But she is a fairy? A fairy becomes a Human Goddess? What does this mean? Look at her fairy ears, her tiny stature, and well, maybe her angel wings.” Gaerradh swept his blond hair aside and handled his emotions a little.
“Please allow me to answer this racism question.” Elysia raised her hand, and the baby Rhea was a bit surprised by that. But, never mind. Rhea gave her approval via her avatar.
“I don’t know anything about you, but I don’t like your remark. In case you need to know, all races used to live peacefully without any significant strife. The Human Race and Fairy Race were very close despite the great distance that separated them. The Goddess of Blessings looks like a fairy because she can’t revert back to her original form. It happened when she played in Fairy Continent with the Goddess of Nature. So, please keep your indiscriminate hatred to yourself.” Elysia emphasized her discontent in a polite but firm tone.
Nell landed on the table, right in front of Elysia. She felt quite happy because this kind-hearted girl immediately defended her.
But, she couldn’t allow that to continue. She wanted to end the accusation stemming from the hatred of that idiot Elven Emperor.
“Huh? Why are you speaking presumptuously to your elder? Do the young humans on the Human Continent not understand manners?” Gaerradh frowned in dissatisfaction. The great him was advised by the little girl who still drank milk?
“Why not? You’re not my elder either. If I were to turn the situation around, I could say the same thing to you. You have red eyes, which are considered cursed eyes by humans because they resemble devils. So, do my master, the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Blessings need to hate you for that?” Elysia turned things around with just one paragraph.
“Ugh. And you’re just an ordinary weak human girl. If you don’t catch your master’s attention, you’re just nothing and nobody.” Gaerradh gritted his teeth. He wanted to punish this human girl but didn’t dare because of the Goddess master.
“Stop, just stop there before you trigger what you never wanted to imagine before.” Nell became a little panicked when she saw the change in Elena’s expression. If that idiot was still talking after this, she couldn’t help but need to silence him with her magic.
“My disciple is not a nobody, let alone an ordinary weak girl because I am her master. How dare your lowly mortal insult my disciple in my presence. Your inferior eyes will never know about my disciple talent.” Elena spoke in a cold tone as she leaned her cheek against her hand.
Then, she turned toward the strongest elf, the supreme leader among all the elves. “I was kind enough not to punish you like what I did to those five fairies. Ashera Nirvalen, make that idiot shut up or I’ll do it myself.”
Ashera had already paled at her fellow sovereign’s sudden remark. However, she became even paler when she heard the Goddess of Light’s warning. That idiot would drag the others in severe trouble!
The strongest elf on the continent didn’t think about anything anymore. She just stood up from her seat to approach the idiot, and she strangled him. “You stupid mongrel! If you have deep hatred for a certain fairy, then do it to the concerned party. You didn’t know that you would invite trouble to us too, huh!?”
“But, you too-” Gaerradh tried to fight back, but the strangulation was getting worse.
“No buts! I was about to attack the Fairy Continent because those selfish fairies wanted to claim all of our Goddess’s legacy and inheritance remain on their continent.” Ashera lifted the idiot and shook him.
From a third-person point of view, it looked like she was lifting a duck by the neck. Who knew why he couldn’t fight back more than a futile effort. Maybe because of magic?
After a few moments of bickering, Ashera put the idiot back in his seat. Then, she returned to her seat with a charming smile on her face as if the previous incident had never happened. “I beg you pardon for displaying something unsightly. Our fellow elf was only carried away by emotions because of his past. Please forgive him.”
Elena glanced at Ashera briefly, then at the other elves. She stopped at the idiot who was sitting with a slightly blank expression. It seems he was currently in a state of unconsciousness but still consciousness? A bit vicious, but she liked to see the results.
“Alright, peace is back now. I know you can hear us, Gaerradh Genharice. So let’s move on to our main topic.” Elena gave Elysia a compliment and thumbs up but in their mind link. While Elysia only replied a wink.
