Chapter 685: Vanessa"s New Transformation
The day pa.s.sed, and the morning greeted the day. Elysia felt her body was so heavy. It was as if something hit her body and squeezed her.
She snapped her eyes open from the torment. A fluffy white-haired fox girl was lying on her body, sleeping soundly.
"Yuuki... Please don"t sleep on top of me. You"re not a little snow fox..." Elysia rolled Yuuki aside and blushed a little because this fox girl was so bold to sleep naked. Luckily, there was a blanket to cover the indecent sight.
"Hngh... Hmm? Good morning, Master Elysia." Another fox girl propelled her body to sit while rubbing her eyes gently.
"Eh?" Elysia was instantly stunned to see another fluffy white-haired fox girl there.
She looked once more at the "fox girl" whom she had just toppled aside.
At first glance, this "fox girl" was indeed like Yuuki. She was a beautiful girl with soft and smooth white skin as if polished by pearls, long clean white hair, and animal ears on top of her head.
About the difference between this "fox girl" and Yuuki, Elysia could only find that Yuuki"s skin tone was paler white than this "fox girl". Apart from that, this "fox girl" looked curvier than Yuuki, with hair that was purer white than Yuuki.
If Yuuki could be said to be a cold beauty, then this "fox girl" was an adorable one. The most striking thing was that this "fox girl" had shorter ears when compared to Yuuki"s fox ears.
"These aren"t fox ears, but rather a pointy cat"s ears? Yuuki has seven fluffy tails, right?" Elysia muttered and tucked her hand into the blanket to check this suspicious fox girl"s tail. Yet, she could only find one fluffy tail. "Just one?"
"Ahn..." The suspicious fox girl moaned softly and immediately woke up feeling some daze. She felt that there was something strange about her right now.
Elysia"s purplish-blue eyes stared into the suspicious fox girl"s sky blue eyes and vice versa. They stared at each other for a moment, wanting to find out something from the other party.
Vanessa was confused because she remembered that she was a little cat curled up on her master"s tummy. Somehow, she currently could see her master at eye level as if she was the same size as her master.
Meanwhile, Elysia was confused about who this white-haired girl was. To be sure, this girl was not Sylvia or Yuuki.
Even so, her inner self said that this girl was her contracted beast, Vanessa. Not fox girl, but cat girl!? What did Elena wish for now to come true?
"Um, may I know who you are?" Elysia decided to ask to confirm everything.
Vanessa tilted her head slightly in confusion. It was a rather strange thing for her master to ask her. She brought her face close to her master"s cheek and gave a lick. She used to do that in the morning whenever possible. "Good morning, master. I"m your Vann. Is-, hm?"
However, she felt that the strange thing not only came from her feelings, but her body also gave the same indication.
"Eh?" Elysia blushed and immediately took her distance. Vanessa and Yuuki were fond of licking her cheeks for some unknown reason.
"Hmm? This is weird..." Vanessa propelled her body to sit up. She checked her hands were not the same as what she remembered last night, and her fur was no longer there.
"Am I have ascended to Saint-level without me knowing it? Is this my human form?" Vanessa muttered in wonder.
"Wow, was that you, Senior Vann? I thought you were Sylvi or Lynn earlier, but it"s not. Congratulations on your power-up!" Yuuki immediately approached and clasped Vanessa"s hand happily.
"Ah-mm, thank you." Vanessa nodded slightly.
"I see... You really are our Vann. Did Yuuki"s blood contract and what happened yesterday have a lot of impacts, hmm?" Elysia checked Vanessa"s status screen, and she could confirm it with confidence.
Vanessa"s human transformation was a great welcome. Elena was definitely pleased and satisfied with this news.
She then took the blanket and wrapped Vanessa"s body with it. "Heartfelt congratulations to you, Vann. Also, you will now need clothes for your human form, hehe..."
"Thank you, master." Vanessa replied with a pleased smile. She didn"t know what happened last night, but if her change brought a smile to her master, then she would be delighted.
"Fufu, as I said before, your fur is not clothes. We are almost the same size. Would you like to wear my dress?" Elysia took her s.p.a.ce Bag and took out a set of white dresses with blue allusions for Vanessa.
"Yes, please!" Vanessa immediately received the dress. However, she needs her master"s help to put it on.
"Hmm, why did Senior Vann breakthrough to Saint-level so suddenly? The gap between Spirit-level to Saint-level is quite wide." Yuuki stroked her chin with many question marks in her mind.
"Perhaps Vann"s sudden ascension has something to do with Yuuki"s mark next to your mark, Vann. Besides, I can see that you feel very relieved and at ease after finding your treasure box. Those two factors push you, including your hidden potential, to breakthrough to Saint-level. Well, you are at the end of ascension. It"s only a matter of now or later." Elysia put her hand between Vanessa"s cat ears for some head pats.
"Ehehe..." Vanessa bent down a little to make it easier for her master to stroke her head.
"Me too..." Yuuki put on a pitiful expression and put her hands in front as if she was begging for attention.
Elysia didn"t need to say anything and just lived up to Yuuki"s expectations. She gives some head pats to her two contracted "beast".
"Hum-mm~ It"s nice to see this warm atmosphere." Nell sat on her big sister"s hands and hummed lightly.
"Good morning~" Rhea waved her hand with an amused smile.
Elysia smiled awkwardly because it felt as if she was caught red-handed upon doing something uncanny. Even so, she responded to the morning greeting nevertheless.
They then woke Sylvia up before preparing to leave. Elena was in the Soul Realm, so Elysia just let Elena wake up by herself.
By the time Elysia came out of the tent, Oceanid was sitting on a lounge chair as if basking in the morning sun. He lowered his sungla.s.ses slightly and glanced to the side. "Hm, you guys are finally out. Have you finished forging the anti-curse mechanisms?"
"Yes, we managed to make a hundred anti-curse mechanism staffs." Rhea replied with an OK hand gesture.
"One hundred, it will be of great use in our next battles." Oceanid"s eyes gleamed, and he immediately stood up.
"Shall we go to Holy City now? Shall we go with this entourage or go directly there?" Sylvia rubbed her hands together. She felt like a devil with privileges that no other devil, not even her father, had. How could it not be? She could go in and out of human"s Holy City effortlessly.
"I suggest shortening travel times and arriving at your destination as soon as possible is the best option available. To be honest, I"m still concerned about a few sealed areas in the vast ocean over there. Some dangerous sealed areas are still there." Oceanid looked far to the west.
"We understand your concern." Rhea nodded in agreement because what Oceanid said was true. Most of the known sealed areas were located on land, while those under the sea were not yet all discovered.
Elysia also agreed with the decision. They would go straight to the Holy City to pick up Gio. Elysia also wanted to meet her friend, Ella.
At that moment, a girl wrapped in a mage robe approached restlessly and in a hurry.
"Ely, I finally got to see you. Are you still mad at me? Please forgive me. I don"t have any ill intentions or risk your opinion on me. This may sound like an excuse, but it happened out of my control, and I completely didn"t know that. I was reflecting on everything last night to reflect on my actions." Evelyn stood in front of Elysia and gave a bow of apology.
"Eve, I"m not really mad at you, you know? But, oh my... Look at you. Didn"t you sleep all night?" Elysia raised Evelyn"s head and felt a little guilty to see Evelyn"s eyebags. This girl clearly couldn"t sleep, and was stressed because of her.
"Ah, um, I couldn"t sleep last night, thinking about what if you don"t want to be friends with me anymore. That would be really sad. I guess I need to be extra careful about speaking about something important to people outside of trusted ones and be more cautious in public. Sometimes, anyone can intentionally or unintentionally listen to our conversation." Evelyn nodded slightly with a wry smile to acknowledge that.
"It"s a good thing that you realize your carelessness, Eve. An unexpected thing, the unpleasant ones, can happen because of someone"s negligence in retaining information. Alright, you need to get some rest after this. We will go straight to Holy City now. Will you come with us?" Elysia stroked Evelyn"s cheek with a gentle smile on her face. She used healing magic to remove Evelyn"s eye bags.
"En, of course. Let me come with you!" Evelyn immediately agreed without a second thought.
Sylvia, Vanessa, and Yuuki finished folding their tent and stored it in Sylvia"s s.p.a.ce Bag.
Evelyn then immediately gave Freya some instructions before she joined Elysia"s group. They boarded the Gravy Ark and went flying towards the south in invisibility. Their destination was the Holy City.
