1023 Praise to the Goddess
As Elysia requested, Luna gathered the victims of the overlord monster’s soul attack wave in one place. She was a soul fox, and she knew most of the victims could still be saved.
“Good job Luna.” Elena appeared out of thin air.
“I only did what Master Ely asked me to do.” Luna put her hand to her chest, paying respects to the Goddess.
“Ashera, I will take Luna, Lynn, and Yusagi. I will leave twenty soul-nurturing jades for you and the victims. Each can assist two hundred people at most, and the zone of effect is twenty meters. Those with soul damage below fifty percent could still be saved in one day. Other than that, only their luck can save them.” Elena handed over twenty scale-like green gems.
“This, on behalf of elves, thank you very much for your help, O the Goddess of Light.” Ashera knelt down to receive the gift.
“This is not worth mentioning. Your army suffers too many casualties, greatly impacting the final battle. Please recover as soon as possible for the elves’ sake too. Sigh, who would have thought that the overlord monster here is cowardly but suddenly went berserk on the day second.” Elena raised her palm as she didn’t feel she deserved that appreciation.
The incident was unexpected and predictable, an outcast of variables that suddenly changed.
“Yeah…” Asher looked down. The soul attack soundwave just then completely shattered the formation and turned everything into a tragedy. Still, fortunately, the Goddesses immediately acted and eliminated those monsters in one fell swoop.
In fact, it should be the elves protecting their homeland, but their strength needed to be more. It was only two days of battle, and the Goddesses had to step in…
“Then, we shall excuse ourselves~” Luna waved her hand.
Lynn carried Yusagi, and then Elena brought them from the vicinity, leaving Ashera alone in the tent.
“I also have to move soon.” Ashera held the soul-nurturing jade in her hand, then rushed out.
She ordered her people to place soul-nurturing jades into a formation array to treat heroes suffering from soul injuries.

A minor earthquake occurred suddenly. The elves could feel the tremor as the craters in the distance cracked, and several black formless things oozed out from the cracks.
The strange creatures arose from death. Those formless black things gathered and formed five gigantic shadow creatures resembling ghosts in white masks with deformed arms and legs.
“Oh, my ladyship of heaven…” Ashera had just sat down to meditate around the soul-nurturing jade. Still, she immediately turned pale at seeing several gigantic monsters in the distance.
*Rumble* *Rumble*
White clouds in the sky gathered and accumulated thunder. Dozens of heavenly golden lightning instantly rained upon the dead creatures, killing them mercilessly.
*Boom!*
The final heavenly thunder struck the remnant, obliterating the dead creatures to their last traces.
“Praise to the Goddess of Heaven, praise to the Goddess of Light.” Ashera bowed down to worship the Elves’ Patron Goddess and the one above the Gods. Although she didn’t know Elysia’s divine title.
“Praise to the Goddess.” The elves also bowed down to worship their God.
“Oow, that surprised me. I moved by reflex and summoned heavenly thunders. What were those creatures just now?” Elysia pointed to the scorched spot where the lightning struck.
“Maybe, it’s the overlord monster’s soul fragments. Let’s call them the dead creatures. There shouldn’t be any accursed creatures that survived the meteor shower earlier. I have confirmed that.” Rhea explained her analysis confidently, though she didn’t know for sure.
“Soul fragments? There’s something like that over there?” Nell asked in surprise.
“Yeah, that’s just my guess. It’s the fragment that can make them reproduce themselves into avatars. That shadow wolf overlord monster possesses insane soul power to break the siege of five Emperors and tens of reinforcements at the Saint and Spirit levels. Its soul fragments will become separate once its main host body disintegrates.” Rhea raised her finger for attention.
“Regardless, they are already gone. Since they are just soul fragments, they don’t have enough anti-magic traits to survive a strike from the heavenly lightning.” Elena shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
Elysia also struggled with the matter since the elves at least survived the follow-up incident. She and Nell then give Luna, Lynn, and Yusagi treatment to repair the damage to their souls.
“Master Ely… It would be best if you were very careful with soul attacks. It can penetrate all defenses and magic to deal true damage to one’s soul.” Lynn took Elysia’s hand.
“Thank you for your concern, Lynn. I accepted your advice, and we have prepared ourselves for the divine-class soul attack. We were already prepared to give the elves assistance to deal with the hiding overlord, but who would have thought that one went berserk and released its ultimate attack upon awakening.” Elysia replied with a tender smile.
“In that case, I feel relieved.” Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.
“We have repaired your soul. That might cause a bit of inconvenience, and you still need to recover your lost energy. How do you feel now?” Elysia rubbed Lynn’s head and fiddled with those fluffy fox ears.
“Ahn, noo~ Uhn, I’ve recovered. Only my magical energy has been slightly drained from the battle.” Lynn moaned spontaneously. She felt embarrassed but still answered before covering her blushing face with both hands.
“Good. Please rest well.” Elysia glanced at Yusagi, who was sleeping, then at the excited Luna. This mature vixen seemed to expect something from her.
“What? You have been healed, and please rest well too.” Elysia flicked Luna’s forehead.
“No way, I’m also hurt. Please give the same treatment to me too.” Luna lay down with an expression of pain, but her fluffy tail kept wagging left and right.
“Well…” Elysia satisfied Luna’s demand, then asked this mature vixen to rest.
Several hours later, all the battlefields in the ten sealed areas came to a final conclusion. The rest was just the aftermath of the battle for cleansing, purification, and care for the warriors.
Even though the last ten overlord monsters in Vrelenia had been eliminated, there was no other suspicious movement from the moon. Elysia’s group became even more worried, and their assumptions regarding the Ruvoid God might trigger something big was definitely going to happen.
“I hope that the barrier formation with Saints and Emperors as the main catalyst can protect this world when we fight in outer space.” Nell gulped her saliva.
“The battlefield will not take place near this planet. With gravity push, we will push the moon away from here as we must prevent the Ruvoid God from approaching Vrelenia.” Lifa crossed her arms, muttering while thinking about something.
“Hmm.” Rhea agreed with that.
The girls came one by one to the separated dimension where Elysia and the others were waiting.
*Ripple*
Their foothold created ripples as they walked. It surprised them and immediately floated up in case something untoward happened.
“No worry, a water-like barrier is lining this separated void. Please have a seat and rest. You’ve done great things in the past three days.” Elysia invited the girls to sit.
“I’m back.”
“Wow, this is like camping above the water.”
“The water surface gives the impression of lying down.”
The girls were curious about the water’s surface. Right now, they were far up in the sky, close to the outer layers of the planet’s atmosphere. It was a unique experience to gather and rest in the void.
The little dragons were relaxing in their comfortable place, but Gio looked a bit uneasy. He felt unsafe if he was far from earth.
Elysia gave a large pot of soil for Gio to lie down on. With that, the little earth dragon could finally relax and rest after three days of hard work on the mission.
The girls then shared their experiences with their fellow sisters and the Goddesses. They expected recognition and praise, and they deserved it. Elysia was not stingy in pampering her pantheon members too.
“Oh, right. Heretic God looks forward to meeting you. We have almost arrived at the final battle.” Sylvia tapped her chin as she stared at the Devil Continent below.
“Yeah, Sea God also said the same thing.” Dory nodded.
“As for Beast God… He didn’t say anything because he just fell asleep like a dead log after the battle.” Vanessa sighed and shook her head.
“If he really wants to meet us for the sake of the final battle, then he is already near the outermost layer of the planet’s atmosphere. I have already told them. Don’t worry.” Nell flapped her hand as she had already dealt with it.
“They need to recuperate after the battle, especially the Heretic God. He is the one most excited about this.” Rhea also looked down, surveying the vast and beautiful world.
“Yeah, he died a hundred thousand years ago, then was defeated by that Alashor when he felt full of himself. He can’t accept another defeat this time. If he can’t hurt this strongest Ruvoid God after so much preparation, then his pride will be wounded.” Nell shrugged her shoulders.
“Let’s hope for all the best. A million magic wishes for you!” Elysia stared at her people with a profound gaze.
