Chapter 325: Arrive at Fairy Continent
"Now, how do you feel, Elysia? Do you feel much stronger than usual?" Nell puffed out her chest at Elena. She could predict what kind of response Elysia would give.
Elysia did not respond right away. She checked her status screen first.
[| Lv. 35 | Apprentice Mage | Elysia Avery | Female (16) | HP: 5,900 / 5,900 | EP: 4,501e+9 / - |]
[| STR: 40 | AGI: 250 | VIT: 60 | INT: 50,000 |]
"Impressive... The current me is truly ten times stronger than the previous me." Elysia looked at her hands with a deep gaze. For some reason, she felt that she was no longer a gla.s.s missile.
On top of that, she also felt that her body did not receive any kind of burden. A bit like reinforcement magic but without any side effects.
"Hehe, as I said. Now, I allow you to praise me." Nell proudly put her hands on her waist.
Elysia was certainly not stingy about complimenting someone. She showered it on Nell according to the request.
However, Elena deliberately interrupted Nell"s delight. "It only lasts one minute? Why not with a longer duration? With your blessing magic, we can solve many problems at once, correct? One G.o.d with ten times the power is really overpowered."
"Ugh, well... The strengthening only lasts one minute, and it will automatically disappear after that." Nell touched her finger together with some embarra.s.sment.
"Is it stackable? How about continuous use? Like when the duration runs out, and you use it again?" Elena pestered Nell to talk.
"Uhh... It can"t. Just one use every three hours. Otherwise, the power-ups won"t take effect." Nell glanced up at Elena. She knew that she would be teased again because of this flaw.
"Hmm... So, it"s like cooldown, huh. Learning magic is quite confusing if I think about it a bit deep." Elysia pressed her index fingers to both sides of her head as she thought.
"Hehe, then don"t sweat it, Ely. We can use magic because we can do it." Elena waved her hand in front of her face. If need be said, she was too lazy to think deeply about magic.
"Oh, you are right, master. But, your magic is a miracle, Nell. In the intense battle where life and death are at stake, one minute is truly crucial. I know your magic can determine the outcome." Elysia gave Nell a gentle gaze.
After saying that, Elysia used reinforcement magic, and her status increased once again. It could be stacked with other types of magic. "Look, I used reinforcement magic, and I felt like I got stronger once again. I just have to bear the burden of this reinforcement magic."
Nell found it comforting to hear. But, she immediately spoke so that Elena would not have time to make fun of her. "Yes! You understand me, Elysia. That"s just one of the many variations of my blessing magic. Let"s see if you can use my divine power-enhancing magic or not."
"Yes, please." Elysia nodded with a sunny smile.
Henceforth, Nell tried to teach another type of divine magic to Elysia. Unfortunately, it came out as predicted. Elysia couldn"t use it. Five of the five types of support magic were not compatible with Elysia.
"Ahh, I"m useless. I"m still a gla.s.s missile after all." Elysia murmured gloomily. She failed in succession while learning the blessing magic"s support type. Currently, she could only see her status reverted to normal.
"Please don"t be gloomy, Elysia. You cannot use a portion of my blessing magic, but you have your own talent." Nell patted the gloomy girl"s back with care.
"Well, Ely... Looks like we can"t use most of this little G.o.ddess"s blessing magic. If the previous ones were basic and easy to understand, then these ones are this little G.o.ddess"s high-level magic. Our imagination magic needs an appropriate imagination to produce magic according to our will. We don"t know how this little G.o.ddess"s magic works, so the results are predictable." Elena tried to console Elysia as she also failed.
"En, let"s leave this topic. At least, we get a little knowledge about the blessing magic"s basics. That"s enough to broaden our horizons." Elysia calmed herself down.
"Yes, let"s enjoy this trip. We"re going pretty fast, but we can see the scenery below. Oops, we"ll be leaving the Human Continent in a bit." Elena shrugged her shoulders and laid down on the carpet. She could see the end of the land and welcome to the ocean.
Elysia"s eyes lit up when she heard that. She laid down beside Elena to see the scene below them. "Nee, Nell... Is there a lot of fish in the ocean? Marine biota? Are we going to pa.s.s through the territory belonging to the Aquatic Race? Can we look under the sea for a moment?"
"Fish?" Vanessa immediately joined her master. She gazed at the vast blue ocean as a realm of fish paradise.
"Hehe, let me show you a whole new world. We"ll go under the sea if you want, Elysia." Nell hovered just above Elysia. She seemed to know what to expect next.
"Yes, please!" Elysia, Elena, dan Vanessa requested in unison.
"O-oh, leave it to me." Nell didn"t expect that Elena would have the same enthusiasm as Elysia.
Nevertheless, it was beautiful enough to know a little more about this master and disciple interest.
After giving another layer of protective barrier, Nell commanded her golden carpet to dive into the ocean.
The carpet responded by moving its ta.s.sel as if to salute. After that, the carpet lowered the alt.i.tude and carried all the pa.s.sengers on the underwater journey.
The scenery immediately changed to the underwater world with several types of fish swimming around as if they were dancing to welcome the newcomers. Colorful coral reefs and ivory sea sand replaced the charm of green trees on the brown land.
"What, what was that? Is the carpet paying homage? I saw that." Elysia pointed at the carpet"s ta.s.sel in surprise.
"Ho-ho, why are you surprised, Elysia? Didn"t you just learn the same kind of magic just now? My blessing magic still works on my golden magic carpet. Isn"t my golden carpet being a good child?" Nell chuckled and patted the carpet. The latter saluted again in response.
"O-Oh..." Elysia nodded in understanding. Apparently, the carpet also operated as a living item, albeit temporary.
When she turned towards the front, she saw a white cat clinging to the solid barrier. "Ah-umm... Vann, what are you trying to do?"
"I"m trying to catch one of the fish. Oh no! Right now, I"m enjoying the scenery among the many fish around us, master." Vanessa closed her mouth and looked back at the ecosystem in the deep ocean.
"She looks happy." Elena rested her cheek on her hand as she glanced sideways.
"Yes, she is." Elysia expressed her agreement as she looked at her contracted beast.
Venessa smiled and tried to catch the fish that happened to pa.s.s by. Unfortunately, the gla.s.s-like barrier prevented the cat"s efforts.
Meanwhile, Nell just asked her magic carpet to go a little deeper, but at a slow pace. She wanted to show Elysia and others more about marine life in deep water.
"Oh dear, it"s like a whale, but much bigger and has a horn on its head." Elena pointed towards the distance right after a giant fish came into view.
Hearing that, Vanessa immediately gave her full attention to the giant fish. The fish was still far away, but she knew it was really huge.
"Ah, yes. But why does the whale have so many sharp fangs, and it"s swimming toward us? That whale can"t see us, right?" Elysia glanced at Nell for the answer.
"Well, I guess it"s just a coincidence." Nell shrugged her shoulders slightly.
Elysia and Elena grew a little worried as the whale drew closer and closer. When the whale opened its mouth wide, Elysia"s panic escalated right away.
"We"ll be eaten by a whale! Back on the surface, immediately to the surface! We"ve already dived into the dangerous deep ocean." Elysia patted the carpet frantically, and the carpet responded nimbly. They surfaced without lingering any longer.
*Fwoosh*
As Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, a torrent of water threw them high into the sky.
"Wow, looks like we entered Armigator Whale territory. Look at your panicked expression earlier, Elysia. Hehe, you are adorable." Nell laughed as she floated in the air.
"Hmph! You took us into whale territory on purpose, Nell." Elysia snorted in annoyance, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"Ah, we"re in the middle of the ocean now." Nell pretended not to know anything as she looked around.
Meanwhile, Vanessa was still staring at the deep ocean. She wanted to catch a giant whale to take home.
"All right, we can have a trip under the sea another time. You spoil the mood, little one. Now, head straight to Fairy Continent, and let"s meet your big sister." Elena sighed and rested her head on Elysia"s lap. She no longer wanted to linger on this trip as the fun was over.
Elysia didn"t speak anymore, and Nell became awkward. The latter could only command her magic carpet to dash straight to their destination at full speed. The responses she received were a bit unexpected.
As the blue zone of the ocean ended, they once again entered the dense forest area with towering trees, similar to the Beast Continent. One thing that caught Elysia and Elena"s attention was the existence of a tree that towered over the sky.
"Is that the tree of life? It"s so big and incredibly tall. But why couldn"t we see it while we were still in the ocean?" Elysia wondered cluelessly.
All eyes were fixed on Nell, hoping for an explanation about the tree of life.
"Hehe, that"s because the tree of life can"t be seen outside of the Fairy Continent or the Elven Continent." Nell giggled, but her eyes flickered with sadness.
