Chapter The Chaotic Earth (2)
"Are they fighting on those metal ships? Well, those bomb blasts look dangerous in our no-magic situation." Xero looked back to see the explosions and fire above the sea.
"What exactly has happened on Earth since we were last here? Did the third world war break out because of that stupid G.o.d Game? Why are humans so tempted by the silly rewards offered in that game?" Elysia continued to fly above the clouds at high speed. She had to go to a safe place as soon as possible.
"Humans have been like that since the beginning of time. They are greedy and selfish. They may ask for inexhaustible wealth, incomparable power, or even immortality." Elena told the conspicuous truth.
"..." Elysia fell silent because it was historically authentic. She then found a small uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean and landed there.
"Xero, Heretic G.o.d, I will meditate for a while to unseal this rune." Elysia deactivated her divine battlesuit and went near a shady tree. She started meditating to recover her magic energy with some resource crystals.
"Hm, I can feel the turmoil of chaos, destruction, hopelessness, and many other negative energies in the atmosphere. It seems you guessed wrong. The G.o.d Game has already started." Xero folded his arms and looked at the stormy sky in the distance.
"Hee-hee, I can"t wait to join the party at Heaven Realm." Xero smirked and sat cross-legged while waiting for Elysia.
Elysia ended her meditation a few minutes later and immediately removed her magic seal. She discovered that the rune bracelet didn"t reseal her magic, and she thought something was up with Earth Mother.
"How do I contact Earth Mother? Her telepathic channel left no trace." Elysia wanted to ask a few things, but she didn"t know how to contact the concerned party yet.
"I presume she"s currently being hurt for some reason. If she lets us roam at full power, then she"s letting that happen on purpose. Maybe, she was expecting our help. Let"s save Erina first, and Earth Mother will definitely contact you again, Master Elysia." Rhea expressed her opinion regarding their current situation.
"I think it makes sense. Let"s figure things out step by step, Ely." Elena agreed with Rhea"s opinion.
"Okay, but I need to remind Xero so he doesn"t act rashly. Our magic will destabilize the energy of this world, after all." Elysia accepted that input and beckoned Xero to approach. She then unsealed his magic seal.
"Xero, Earth"s current situation is chaotic. In the meantime, I"d like you to move with us to find out something." Elysia asked while looking into Xero"s red eyes.
"Gathering information before real action, is it? Alright, we can"t go straight to Heaven Realm and join the party without any information. Let your master or Rhea do the talking. What"s your plan?" Xero folded his arms. He actually didn"t mind that request at all.
"Just do what Ely tells you. She has our will. We need to figure things out on a few things first." Elena answered Xero.
"You and Rhea are very fond of private discussions with Elysia. How can I know your decision? Very well, I"ll behave while on Earth, but don"t try to stop me in Heaven Realm. I shall destroy that Ruvoid G.o.d into nothingness with my hands." Xero considered a few things and chose the safe option for the time being.
"Okay." Elena just agreed without much thought.
Elysia then discussed some things with Elena and Rhea, then shared her plan with Xero. After that, she tracked down Erina"s location with their spirit connection.
"Elysia, I presume we will be in Earth"s Mortal Realm for some time. I want you to share the language of this world with me." Xero insisted firmly. He just wanted to accept yes as an answer.
"How do I do it? Can we talk about this later? We"ll find a way for it, but there"s something urgent I need to do right now. Erina-san is in danger." Elysia shrugged her shoulders. Erina"s safety was her priority right now.
"Erina? That human girl who served as our marker to Earth? What might happen to her in this world? You gave her a high-level artifact, right?" Xero scratched his head. He couldn"t ask Elysia to grant his request because of that human girl.
"Hold on... I will help you, Erina-san." Elysia teleported herself and Xero to the location she believed was where Erina was.
In a peaceful luxury hospital room lies a beautiful girl who exudes an elegant and graceful aura. However, she was still unconscious with life support medical devices attached to her body.
An old man was standing beside the bed, looking at the girl with a sad expression. After some time pa.s.sed in silence, he went to the exit to visit someone in the next room.
*Bzzt*
A lovely masked girl and a white-haired boy appeared in the room out of thin air.
"Rainstorm?" Elysia used her advanced perception to examine her surroundings. She then looked out the window because the noise of the rainstorm was bothering her.
*Snap*
Elysia snapped her fingers, and the room instantly became soundproof. She signaled Xero to stand guard.
"Hmm..." Xero just nodded in reply and stood in the corner of the room.
After that, Elysia went to the patient"s bed. She knew with just one look that it was indeed Erina. Her friend on Earth was in a coma due to severe internal injuries.
"Ely, her life is in danger. Perhaps, she can only last until tomorrow if she stays in this state." Elena informed a piece of bad news based on her observations.
"Yeah, but we"ve arrived here, and nothing bad will happen to Erina-san." Elysia sat on a stool beside the bed, took Erina"s hand, and closed her eyes.
She scanned Erina"s body and started using healing magic. At that moment, she realized that Erina had suffered not only physical injuries but mental injuries as well. Erina"s spirit also received mysterious damage?
"Wounds like this can only be caused by someone powerful, Master Elysia. I can help to heal this girl"s spirit, but you will lose more life energy." Rhea asked for help.
"Let"s do it. I can recover my life energy later." Elysia made up her mind without hesitation.
"All right. Please follow my instructions, and we will do this together." Rhea then started instructing Elysia to use a spirit healing technique.
Erina was a girl on the same level as a Rank 3 esper. Because of that, Elysia and Rhea could heal Erina quickly without sacrificing a lot of life energy.
"Phew, it"s only about ten thousand life energy. A generous price for saving Erina-san"s life." Elysia heaved a sigh of relief. She managed to save Erina"s life.
She checked life support devices, and the results were satisfactory, but not enough to guarantee everything. Therefore, she conducted a full scan of Erina"s body once again.
"Hngh, uhm..." Erina"s fingers twitched, and she opened her eyes slightly. Her vision was blurry but slowly became clear a few seconds later.
At that moment, she could feel that someone was holding her wrist. She turned to the side and found a graceful lady with long black hair wearing a masquerade mask sitting next to her bed.
Erina took a few seconds to recall what had just happened to her. However, she felt a calming flow of warm energy coursing through her body. She closed her eyes again to enjoy that moment of peace and comfort.
Unfortunately, it only lasted a moment. As the pleasant energy flow disappeared, Erina looked at the masked lady again, wondering about the other party"s ident.i.ty.
Lots of flashbacks related to the accident that just happened to her last night immediately crossed her mind.
"I"m still alive? Ugh..." Erina held her head. She suddenly suffered from a sudden feeling of dizziness.
"That"s fine. Please don"t panic or think about too many things at once. You"ve just recovered from heavy trauma, serious internal injuries, and spirit damage." Elysia touched Erina"s forehead with her finger and gave a slight reliever with calming, subtle magic.
"Mm, thank you very much. I feel very grateful for your help, savior angel." Erina was shocked and held her savior"s hand. For some reason, she felt this lady was so familiar, but she wasn"t so sure.
"May I know what my savior looks like? If you allow it, I will be honored to know your name." Erina decided to ask.
She had seen a death door but was sent back to the world. Her savior was clearly the mighty one.
"You don"t recognize me, Erina-san?" Elysia pointed at her face, but she just realized that she was still wearing the masquerade mask. She immediately took it off and put it in her s.p.a.ce Bag. "Oh, never mind. I"m glad you"re okay, Erina-san. Can you tell me your situation? You were fine last night, err, about twelve hours ago..."
"Ely, Elysia-san?" Erina widened her eyes in shock but couldn"t hide her smile. So, her savior was her friend who recently gave the news to return!
"I"m glad to see you... Welcome back." Erina said that emotionally.
"Yeah, I"m back." Elysia nodded slightly.
Erina then told Elysia about her situation twelve hours ago.
After receiving news from Elysia, Erina boarded her private jet to return to Tokyo with her father. However, her private plane somehow crashed in the sky. The reason was unknown, but she couldn"t remember anything after that. The last thing she could remember was her father doing everything to save her from that fatal accident.
"Elysia-san, how is my father? He survived the accident too, right? Please let me see him..." Erina paled, afraid to hear the bad news, but she just hoped it wouldn"t happen.
