Chapter 762: Go to Earth (1)
Two weeks passed in an exclusive training event within the Nature Realm. Elysia and her friends train their physique and magic on many things with the Goddesses as their instructors. They already had their divine battlesuit, and they should be able to make good use of its true potential.
Apart from training, Elysia crafted many anti-curse mechanisms and various artifacts with Elena and the Goddesses at dusk every day.
“Ely.” Ai rested her head on her hands while watching Elysia’s activities.
“What is it, Ai?” Elysia responded casually but did not stop her little warm-up. She was currently lifting three kilograms of dumbbells in each hand, but she was in a fifteen-fold gravity formation.
“Well, your body does need regular exercise even after your exclusive training session is over. However, please look at me for a second.” Ai asked Elysia to stop for a moment. When Elysia fulfilled her request, she proceeded to her question. “Are we going to another world this afternoon? Err… Planet Earth?”
“Yes, we’ll be leaving as soon as Helen returns. Is there something bothering you?” Elysia wiped her sweat with a face towel and deactivated the gravity formation.
“Nothing. I might need to adapt to the new environment.” Ai turned her face to the side. She had heard a few things from Sylvia and didn’t feel that Planet Earth was such an extraordinary world.
“Ah, here you are! You look sexy in your gym wear, Ely.” Sylvia entered the room with the other girls.
“Hi~” Elysia waved her hand in welcome.
“Uhm, we just heard a few things from your master, Ely… She didn’t stop us from coming to Planet Earth, but we don’t think she supports our participation either. Therefore, we’d like to know what you think.” Evelyn put her hands together somewhat nervously.
She wanted to come along, but the opportunity most likely said otherwise. Therefore, she and her friends should ensure clarity right away.
“Hm, you can all come along, but we’re not there for sightseeing or just having fun. We’re going up against a Ruvoid God, the Council, and many more. The God Game is starting tomorrow, and we hope to stop that.” Elysia gave a green light which made her friends feel relieved.
“Ooh~ Yes, we will help you!” Lynn was happy and so excited. This world had at least a month of peace, and it would be fine if she joined the expedition to hunt down the runaway Ruvoid God with her friends. She could help in various matters.
“Yay, we will be useful and make things easier for you, master.” Yuuki put her hands together. Elysia had said a yes, and that had given her reassurance. She would be helpful to her master.
The girls were excited, but Ai felt that everyone would not come to Planet Earth. “Ely, I feel there are some people who are not coming with us to Planet Earth. May I know who they are?”
“!?” The girls’ chit-chat instantly died down. They were shocked by Ai’s sudden question.
“Vann’s aunt and uncle can’t come with us because of a mission. Then, the Goddess of Blessings hasn’t found the best way to get us back to Vrelenia. So, my master doesn’t allow her to come with us this time.” Elysia put her hand to her chin and shook her head with a sigh.
“Not coming? The Goddess of Blessings not going to Planet Earth?” Ella was taken aback in shock.
*Bam!*
A noise came from outside the room, and the gust of wind rapidly approached. The door suddenly opened, surprising everyone.
“What’s the meaning of this, Elysia? I’ve tried my best, but I haven’t gotten a good technique yet. However, do you want to leave me behind again? I can’t come to Earth!? What does that mean? I thought you had found a way by using the teleportation portal since you and your master have relaxed the past few days.” Nell voiced her complaint as if she didn’t believe that decision. Elena had just told her, but she just couldn’t accept it.
Elena and Rhea also came to the gym room. Still, they were just waiting for Elysia to speak because Nell wanted to make sure of everything from Elysia’s mouth directly.
“Please calm yourself first. We can talk about this calmly.” Elysia raised her palm to indicate Nell to land there.
“…” Nell took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She landed on Elysia’s palm and started to speak again with a bit of calm. “I just finished my mission before we left Vrelenia for maybe a month. However, why did when I just returned, your master tells me that I couldn’t come to Earth?”
“I see… I also feel very sorry about that, but we have no other choice, do we? I’m sure you and the other Goddesses are already working on finding a way to open the portal between worlds without leaving anyone behind. However, we just haven’t figured it out yet. The only option is to have someone with a spiritual connection as our marker for dimensional transfer.” Elysia explained the situation gently.
“But, but, why is it just me? Can’t you just leave a temporary spirit connection to someone like what you did to the human girl from Earth? Err… Her name is Erina, right?” Nell had a brilliant idea, and she was sure Elysia had no other reason to leave her behind now.
“Now you say that. We might as well do that, but to whom? I can’t leave a temporary spirit connection to someone I don’t trust or vice versa. I’ll leave a marker imprint on someone’s spirit, and it can’t be left to just anyone.” Elysia felt it was pretty reasonable, but she couldn’t just do that.
If everyone wished to come along, then who would be the marker? She didn’t have anyone else she could trust outside of her group.
“Hehee~” Nell smirked at Elena. She had obtained approval from Elysia now. As for the problem Elysia faced, she had the best solution regarding who would serve as the marker. “Ahem, Ella, come here.”
“I’m here.” Ella drew closer to her Goddess.
“I want you to be our marker to return. Ely will put her spirit imprint for a temporary spirit connection with you. Would you like to do that?” Nell explained her wish in a dignified manner as if her previous whining had never happened.
“I’m willing to do it with all my heart.” Ella felt relieved and honored after hearing that order. She then faced Elysia and respectfully asked. “Ely, allow me to be the marker in question. Please do what you need to do to me. I will not resist.”
“…” Elysia glanced at Nell for a moment, but she only received a triumphant smile in response.
“All right, Ella. Please let my magic flow into your spirit.” Elysia asked Ella to come closer. She then pressed her forehead to Ella’s and put her hand on Ella’s upper chest.
“I am ready.” Ella nodded confidently, but her face gradually flushed red without noticing it.
“I will be gentle. Close your eyes.” Elysia closed her eyes and began carefully placing her marker imprint on Ella’s spirit.
“!?” Evelyn looked around as she realized something that scared her.
Only her, Sylvia, and Lynn didn’t have any particular connection to Elysia’s core group right now. She knew Sylvia had a plan for Elysia, but what about her?
“…” Evelyn looked enviously at Ella because she wanted to establish a spirit connection with Elysia, even if it was temporary. She couldn’t ask too much like a relationship with the divine. Therefore, her best friend was the best choice from the very beginning.
After Elysia finished establishing a temporary spirit connection to Ella, she took some distance and tried to test it out. ‘Ella, can you hear my telepathy?’
‘E-eh? Is this telepathy, Ely? I can answer you via telepathy even though I haven’t reached that level of ability?’ Ella was pleasantly surprised.
‘Yup, this is telepathy using spirit connection lines. I’m sorry, Ella. You cannot come with us to my home world because of the orders of the Goddess of Blessings. However, we still have another chance for that.’ Elysia held Ella’s hand to scan Ella’s body to confirm a few things.
‘You don’t need to apologize, Ely. We still have many opportunities in the future. I am honored to carry out my Goddess’ orders.’ Ella shook her head and replied with a gentle smile.
‘Um, okay. Since you will still be in this world, you need to be placed in a safe place. We will escort you to the Holy Cathedral, and you must not engage in any dangerous activities for any reason. Do you understand? If something happens to you, we won’t be able to return to Vrelenia.’ Elysia gently conveyed a piece of essential advice and warning.
‘I fully understand the importance of my role here. Thanks for your concern, Ely. I will take good care of myself.’ Ella appreciated her friend’s concern.
‘Good.’ Elysia ended the telepathy because Nell had some things to tell Ella.
Nell gave several talismans and amulets to Ella and gave some essential points regarding the importance of Ella’s role.
“Hm, we’ll only be gone for a month.” Nell patted Ella’s shoulder happily. She wouldn’t be left behind.
Ella just replied with a nod of understanding.
“It’s almost time for us to leave. You’d better get ready to go, Ely. Ella, we’ll take you to Holy City.” Elena beckoned Ella to go with her.
“I understand. Everyone, please allow me to excuse myself.” Ella gave everyone a slight bow before leaving the room. She then went with the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Nature.
“Well, I better get ready. Everyone, please wait a moment.” Elysia waved her hand to everyone and then went to the changing room.
“Mkay~” Sylvia raised her hand.
A few moments later, Elysia came out of the dressing room dressed in a casual white dress, all fragrant and fresh. She and everyone then went to meet the one who stood guard near the Nature Realm’s portal.
