Chapter 1078 Earthquake In The Elven Continent
Alfheim, Elven Continent.
At the top of the World Tree.
"My dear…"
Golden locks cascaded down a seductive mature elf"s tempting curves as the rays of golden hour settled in on them. Standing before her was a beautiful young lady with pointy ears, resembling totally like her.
The two"s emerald eyes focused on each other as their white and golden royal attire slowly swayed along the breeze.
Agalea gently held her daughter"s face and smiled softly. "…mama will be gone for a while."
"Mama…" Alea called out with tears in her eyes.
Agalea slowly wiped the tears from the corner of Alea"s eyes and continued, "I know this is hard on you and mama doesn"t want to part ways either. However, this is something mama must do."
Alea"s lips curled into a sad smile as she heard that.
Agalea leaned forwards and kissed her forehead. Caressing her face, she said, "Stay with your cousin for a while. I"ve informed him and aunt of your arrival. Jasmine will be with you at all times, so if there"s anything you wish to say to me, let her know. If it"s something that requires advice, she will give it to you on my stead. If there"s something she can"t answer, she"ll note it down and will let me know later."
Agalea then giggled as something funny crossed her mind. She leaned closer to Alea and said, "Plus, I don"t think you"ll be bored there. Knowing how perverted your little cousin is, he might keep you and Jasmine really busy. Who knows, maybe you"ll also be able to get much closer to your aunt."
Agalea winked at her daughter after saying so, making her chuckle with embarra.s.sment. She then rubbed her nose onto hers and said, "Don"t cry and miss mama much, okay?"
Alea nodded her head like an obedient child. "I"ll try my best."
Agalea smiled and wrapped Alea in her embrace. "My sweet daughter… mama will try her best to be back as soon as possible."
"Mm…" The mother-daughter pair stuck together for the next five minutes and were interrupted when a tall, blue-haired elven lady wearing gla.s.ses appeared beside them and bowed.
"Princess, it"s time to go." Jasmine said.
Agalea kissed the top of Alea"s head one last time and broke the hug. Alea appeared sad and didn"t want to part ways with her mother, but she knew it was important and thus obediently went to Jasmine"s side.
"Mama, be safe, okay?" Agalea nodded her head and waved at Alea. "Yes, my dear."
She then turned to look at Jasmine. "Take good care of her and don"t leave her alone, okay?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jasmine bowed and answered. "It"s time for you two to leave now." Agalea continued to wave at them and said. Jasmine held Alea"s hand and took the sad young elf away from the mother elf. Once the two were gone, Agalea took a deep breath and got into a stoic calmness. "It"s time."
Agalea vanished from her spot and appeared at the top of the World Tree. She joined her hands and said softly, "I apologize in advance to the ones who may not live to see the next day. I pray that you have a good next life and may your souls rest in peace."
With that, a golden circle formed beneath her. It slowly turned larger and larger until it could cover the entire World Tree"s diameter. Agalea chanted some spells in the Ancient Elvish language and made the circle glow brother. After a few minutes, she struck the magic circle beneath her.
With a thunderous boom, the magic circle enveloped the entire World Tree from the top to the bottom and rebounded back to Agalea"s feet.
It was so swift that none of the Elves noticed anything. It was as if everything was normal.
Agalea clasped her hands and continued to chant. Her hair flew in the hair, going against the laws of gravity, and her clothes fluttered aggressively in the wind.
After a few seconds, Agalea"s eyes snapped open, appearing completely golden instead of their usual emerald color.
"Fein. Vos. Nume. Lnue." She said those words out loud and did a raising gesture with both her hands. "Search!"
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
Tremors ran throughout the World Tree and spread in the entire Elven Continent.
Everyone felt a ma.s.sive earthquake had struck the continent and went into panic along with the many wild beasts in the wilderness. "Stabilize the surroundings!"
"We have been hit with a nine magnitude earthquake!"
Mothers took their children and hid under whatever shelter they could find while the men did their best to cast defensive magic to shield everyone around them.
Roofs collapsed and injured many. A ma.s.sive tsunami rushed from the sea side of Alfheim towards the World Tree. It was as if an apocalypse had descended upon the poor Elves.
Away from them, after half a day, the sh.o.r.es of the Vampire, Neutral, and Human continents were hit with the aftershocks.
News immediately spread about the earthquake in the Elven Continent, and standing on the sh.o.r.es of the Vampire Continent, a silver-haired lady stared at the distance.
The dark skies of the Vampire Continent met with the calm blues of the normal world. At one side was darkness and at the other was light, a stark contrast that not many got the opportunity to look at as the sh.o.r.es were a dangerous place to be at. Land was immense in the world with population being scarce despite being a whopping 100 billion. Only ten percent of the world"s mainland was utilized by the total population. The rest was complete wilderness and uncharted territories. Sh.o.r.es were dangerous due to the many sea monsters. If a race wasn"t filled with Water Path experts or had people who preferred water-type habitats, then there was no reason to be around the sh.o.r.es.
So far, only the Mermaids roamed stayed at the sh.o.r.es and swam somewhat freely in the waters. Following them was Water Elves, the Water Dragon Tribe, and Human settlements where people"s occupation was mostly based on water related things.
The rest of the races did have territories at the sh.o.r.e but not to the extent like the Elves or Dragons or Humans.
Lilith, standing at an unknown sh.o.r.e of the Vampire Continent, felt the salt from the ambience touch her lips. In the distance, a gigantic tsunami was coming her way along with a pitch-black vortex.
As the tsunami and storm came closer, their size was so large that Lilith seemed as small as an ant in front of it.
Clear blue water of the giant tsunami turned dark as it crossed into the Vampire Continent"s barrier with the vortex appearing much darker than the surroundings. Hundred kilometers… fifty kilometers…
Thousand meters… hundred meters…
Lilith was unfazed as she stood at the sh.o.r.es. She had a hand on her hat, not wanting to let it fly away, and her clothes aggressively fluttered in the wind.
Three meters… two meters… and…
Lilith slowly extended her hand out and touched the tsunami"s water with her index finger.
POP!
Like a bubble, the tsunami popped, its water spraying and causing rain in a small radius.
The pitch black vortex had no signs of stopping despite the tsunami having gone. It went closer to Lilith and eventually engulfed her within it.
Lilith continued to place her hand on her hat and thought while looking at her fluttering clothes, "Hmm… If baby was here, I would"ve gone commando and given him a good view. He surely would love that. What a pity…"
Shaking her head, Lilith looked up at the vortex as she reached its eye.
There, in the middle of it, there was a woman with black hair, floating in mid air in a lotus position. Her raven-black hair was as dark as the vortex with her pale face being expressionless. Lilith smiled as she looked at her. Extending her wings out and flapping them once, she appeared in front of the lady.
There seemed no signs of abnormalities on the lady and just to be sure, Lilith placed her palm on her abdomen, a few inches below her navel.
"No abnormality. She"s just in a trance."
Lilith pulled her hand away and using her index finger, touched the lady"s glabella, gently pushing her back.
The vortex instantly vanished and the lady"s crimson eyes snapped open, staring angrily at Lilith. Her fangs extended out from her mouth and she appeared completely feral.
It only lasted for a split second before clarity returned to her eyes.
Lilith smiled as she looked at her and clapped her hands. "Congratulations on your ascension."
Blinking her eyes repeatedly, the mature lady wondered about where she was and what was happening.
The words from Lilith hit her only after a few seconds and made her make heads of reality. Getting up, her curvy body with b.r.e.a.s.t.s bigger than Lilith"s came into Lilith"s view, making her raise an eyebrow in surprise.
The seductive lady bowed with her palm on her chest, giving Lilith a view of her deep cleavage, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, madam. My apologies for the unsightly behavior."
Lilith"s brain automatically ignored those words. She leaned forwards and was face-to-face with two big mountain peaks.
"Luna, did these get bigger?"
"…"
Luna was dumbfounded and blinked in confusion. "…what?"
