Chapter 22: Fly at the Speed of Light
"Vanessa, as I thought. There will be parties coming to investigate the incident in the forest..."
Elysia who continued to fly northwest on Vanessa"s back saw many groups who were heading into the forest. They all could disguise their existence very well, but not for Elysia"s vision, and their strength was above the Master Rank and above, there were even some Saint Ranks who came to investigate.
"Well, what can they do after knowing the shocking phenomenon that you have caused... So, what are we going to do?" Vanessa answered helplessly while looking at a faint Tier 5 figure who rushed into the forest with her advanced vision.
Not only thousands of kilometers of forest area were destroyed, even almost all of the forest area was. .h.i.t by a violent storm. Naturally, they would all come to investigate the events that came and went so suddenly.
"It"s okay, continue with our current agenda. I"ve disguised us in an invisible mode." Elysia a.s.sured Vanesa with confidence. If, according to her estimates, then both of them will be almost impossible to detect.
As for one of the Saint Rank detected by Elysia"s vision, she felt she was being watched and immediately looked up at where Elysia and Vanessa were, but she could not find anything in the sky and just shook her head slightly before resumed to her investigation task.
She is the best spy of other races who are already adept at disguising herself very well, it seems impossible for others to detect her unless she deliberately releases her disguises. She only a.s.sumed that the previous premonition was a mistake because of her caution in the Human Continent.
Unfortunately, the ability she is very proud of is not useful in Elysia"s eyes and will cause some problems for her in the future.
"Alright."
Vanessa immediately believed that because her master seemed to be a very talented mage, it was not impossible for her. But until now, she became very curious about the origin of her master which she didn"t know anything at all.
"Nee, Master... May I ask about your origins? You are so strong even though you are still in Tier 1 and you don"t seem to know many things. Can you tell me a few things if you don"t mind?" Vanessa could no longer contain her curiosity.
"..." Elysia paused for a moment and made Vanessa even more nervous as time pa.s.sed, she began asking herself whether the question was excessive to ask.
"Of course you can, I have said it to answer your question and won"t lie the same to you. I don"t know what you mean by Tier 1, but I"m still an Apprentice Mage. It"s also true I don"t know many things as you mentioned, that"s because I just came into this world from a different world out there." Elysia answered lightly, then she asked about the Tier Vanessa meant earlier.
The tier is just a naming based on energy rank similar to those used by humans, and only the naming is different. Apprentice Rank is Tier 1, and likewise G.o.d Rank is Tier 10. The naming of the power rank is commonly used by the Beast Continent residents, the place they are going at right now.
"Isn"t that strange, Master? Tier 1 for launching magic on such a large scale is impossible... Your energy aura is white, and you didn"t lie to me, but I just can"t understand..."
"Yeah, I also don"t understand at all. Maybe it"s because I"m from a different world... But remember my words this time Vanessa. Never leak anything about my origin or things that could cause trouble for me whatever the reason." Elysia uttered her last sentence in seriousness along with a firm tone.
"I understand. I"ll remember that well and I promise I won"t cause trouble for you." Vanessa knows about the seriousness of the matter and just immediately promised.
"Good girl." Elysia smiled and rubbed the soft fur on Vanessa"s back while praising after hearing that.
Elysia realized she would be stuck with this white tiger for a long time. Therefore, she agreed to form a good relationship with Vanessa after discussing with Elena because Vanessa seemed to have given her life and future fate to her master which means Elysia will be held responsible for Vanessa.
She will slowly learn about Vanessa over time, as Vanessa does the same for her. They both know that asking excessively about the origin of detail will cause discomfort.
Vanessa has been flying for a long time and has only just come out of Avrora Forest at a speed that can be called very fast, just the forest area is too broad.
"Hey, Vanessa. If we keep flying at this speed, how long will we get to our destination?"
"Emm... I came from the Beast Continent and reached the forest while following in the footsteps and aura of my brother that I could faintly feel because of our bloodline, it all took eight days. So if we were at the current pace... Maybe five days?" Vanessa muttered while recalling the length of time needed on her journey.
The time needed for Vanessa in the journey can be calculated as very fast for distances between continents, but not for Elysia. Five days of the journey will make her rot because of saturation, even while she is still on Earth.
She felt tortured on the six-hour trip, and this time it took five days? twenty times more severe torture than she could bear.
Elysia looked back for a moment to see Avrora Forest which she could still see clearly with the naked eye.
"Vanessa, prepare yourself to enter the flight at the speed of light." Elysia now looked forward with a deadpan expression.
"What speed of light?"
Shortly after Vanessa asked, she felt the barrier envelop her body and suddenly she felt the scenery around her blurred.
"AAAHHHHH!!!" Vanessa screamed loudly as if she was scared because she was being hurled at high speed.
She entered the speed Elysia had intended before, with a barrier made deliberately to protect them from the wind and other objects.
The five-day trip estimated by Vanessa earlier, now only becomes a trip in seconds.
"We"ve arrived at Beast Continent, right?" Elysia was excited to see a very different continent, with the majority of the land filled with forests with trees that are much taller than the trees on the Human Continent.
She had previously pa.s.sed the Xeafinata Kingdom in the western part of the Human Continent and several cities to get here. So, according to the world map of the provisions given by Harold, she shouldn"t get lost.
Vanessa did not answer, but her face was rather blue or pale.
"Bleurgh..." She just threw up in the sky without caring about the world and her image.
At present, the one supporting them is no longer Vanessa, but with Elysia"s magic that keeps them in the sky.
"Are... Are you OK?" Elysia immediately made them land in the forest, somewhat worried about Vanessa"s condition that looked sick and still vomiting. She felt rather guilty because maybe she was the main cause of this.
Because of that, she who is also the perpetrator tried to make Vanessa recover quickly with her magic.
After Vanessa felt better and returned to her normal self as if the shameful incident had never happened before. She was currently staring silently at her master with a persecuted gaze, rather like a pet being bullied by her master.
"Err... What"s with that pitiful look... I"m sorry, ok? I gave a warning beforehand, right? Do not be sad." Elysia stroked the head of the large white tiger with a hint of guilt, she could not bear to look at Vanessa"s current gaze that was similar to a pet cat that looked unfortunate.
