901 Divine Rune of Destruction Insignia
“Eve, can you help me up? I want to see Ariel and Steph’s condition.” Ella went to the edge of the bed, holding her hand to her friend.
“All right. Please be careful. You lost a lot of blood and have just recovered.” Evelyn felt sad to see Ella’s melancholic expression.
“Eve, who donated blood for me?” Ella stood up slowly, though her legs were weak and shaking. She relied on Evelyn to walk over to the other two patients.
“That is your father.” Evelyn answered briefly.
“I see…” Ella looked out the window. It was morning, so the day had changed.
“Holy Princess, please forgive our inability to protect you.” Steph smiled weakly.
“You don’t need to apologize, Steph. Everything came unexpectedly. It was not us who were weak, but our enemy who was too strong for us to face. He is the Emperor of the ancient era. I am glad you are safe and well.” Ella sat on the bed. Steph was currently bandaged like a mummy on a bed.
“However, Miss Ariel’s condition is critical. Even the divine can’t eliminate the backlash. Is it true that Miss Ariel only has three years to live?” Steph looked to the side. She spoke in a trembling and sad tone.
“Please don’t say that again. Ariel has recovered and will definitely recover. She only needs to ascend in rank to the Emperor level.” Ella patted Steph’s arm and reminded her in a gentle tone.
“Miss Ariel used the forbidden technique, final limit break, to raise her power to EMperor-level. She fought fiercely against that cloaked man to save us, but she ended up losing. If the divine didn’t arrive in time, we would all be dead. “Steph heaved a subtle sigh.
“…” Ella went to the next bed and stroked Ariel’s face. Her private guardian knight was still like the one she remembered. There was no ageing or fatal damage, but she could feel Ariel’s life force was weak.
One had to ascend in rank to gain longevity and strength. Ariel’s life force issue could have been resolved if some were willing to donate their life force to Ariel.
However, why didn’t her Goddess do that to Ariel? Was it only Elysia who was willing to donate life force to her? Why not help Ariel to the end? Would she cross the line if she asked for more by pleading?
Ella knew Ariel was still in the early stage of the Saint rank. It was still a long way from reaching Emperor-level. Leveling up twenty times in three years was a near-impossible feat. She was responsible for her guardian knights, who died, and had to be responsible for the rest of Ariel’s life.
“Ella…” Evelyn rubbed Ella’s back.
“I’m sorry… Eve, can you tell me what happened in the forbidden underground city after I fell into that cloaked man’s hands and lost consciousness?” Ella gently stroked Ariel’s face, then asked Evelyn.
Evelyn just nodded, then told the situation in the ancient forbidden underground city. Steph also listened to everything with great interest.
Meanwhile, Lifa had just finished an in-depth interrogation of the Emperor-level demon. Sylvia also participated in the interrogation.
A lot of information was successfully extracted, but the demon in question did not come out alive, as he was severely punished by Lifa.
Lifa and Sylvia then told everyone about the barbarity and cruelty of the remnant group of Ruvoid Gods worshippers.
Unfortunately, that didn’t interest Elena at all. She had witnessed the entire incident from that Human Emperor’s memories. Still, she put that aside because the information was no longer significant.
Right now, she was arguing internally with Elysia because she had just shared all the recent events and their latest plans.
“I’ll be good. So, may I return to my body?” Elysia put on a cute expression.
“No, we have planned everything carefully. We have laid many traps for Ruvoid God’s avatars, and you will disguise yourself as me if you want to come out. We switch roles until we are about to attack the moon.” Elena folds her arms. Her decision cannot be contested even if Elysia asks her.
“Um… I can’t? Then, I’ll come out as a spirit and change my form into yours, Sister Elena?” Elysia put her fingers together.
“Yup, and you can’t be out of my sight. That’s fine because I will always have you to save me in this safe realm, but the opposite is a difficult situation. My power is limited in the Elysian Realm! Even if I’ll be playing your role , it won’t be easy for them to trap me with a seal!” Elena raised her fist with a firm cry.
“Woah, but our problem is that we are physically weak. We don’t have adequate defense yet.” Elysia smiled and gently pulled Elena’s hand, asking Elena to calm down.
Elena raised her finger, but she swallowed back her words. “Uh, that’s the bitter truth. That’s why it will be fine if I become their target. I will always have you in this safe realm. Your power is absolute here… If you are not sealed like before, of course.”
Elena then moved closer and gave Elysia a warm hug. “We will overcome our weakness soon. One thing is certain, we will exterminate the Ruvoid Gods and those accursed creatures, without exception. Thus, an era of a peaceful and beautiful world shall arrive.”
“Mm… That day will come. This world is where Rhea, Eve, Ella, Vann, Yuuki, and everyone else live.
There may be joys, sorrows, and sorrows… but a happy ending will surely await us at the end of the story.” Elysia hugged Elena back and gave her a pat on the back.
“Ely, I was so afraid of losing you. Your spirit was almost gone because you forcibly tore the seal off along with your spirit flesh. You went crazy on the battlefield with an injured spirit and were still under the influence of the death curse. I don’t want that to happen again. . Our body is the key, but also a weakness. We need to have lots of plans far ahead of their predictions.” Elena muttered softly, burying her face in Elysia’s chest.
“Things like that won’t happen again. We won’t be at the receiving end anymore. We’ll be attacking and exterminating them aggressively. We’re also going to the moon in the near future, right? That’s a high-class space battle. as a Holy Saint Spirit.” Elysia stroked Elena’s head.
“Are you going to use the divine rune of destruction insignia on your left hand, Ely?” Elena held Elysia’s arms, staring intensely into those purplish blue eyes.
“Fortuna, Luna, and Lynn have predicted the world’s future. By the end of the story, only three Gods remain. Perhaps, our loved ones died before us. We will be cornered and will have to use this with a high risk of disappearance. Self-sacrifice at the end to eliminate the threat to the world, is it?” Elysia raised her left hand and looked at a transparent rune insignia on the back of her hand. She channeled some magic into it to make it golden in color.
“Please don’t play with that divine rune insignia. What if it activates? We don’t know what kind of divine magic is stored there.” Elena held Elysia’s hand and covered the twelve-wings rune insignia.
“Mm, we need a tremendous amount of magic and a super strong vessel to use this one-time use rune insignia. This is a gift that Sera gave me. Isn’t she so kind to fulfill my request?” Elysia chuckled a little.
“Yes and no, Sera even warned you twice. You will vanish if you use that rune in your current state, namely ours. We should discuss this with the others. Perhaps, Lifa and Rhea know about how to make our body super strong? That way, we won’t have to make sacrifices and no one will die. It’s also possible that we don’t need to use this rune insignia because the last two Ruvoid Gods are not as strong as we fear. You hate tragedy, right?” Elena held Elysia’s cheeks.
“Yes. We will discuss this with the ones we trust the most. We even need to sort out the individuals in our group. Who will participate with us until the end, even if life is at stake.” Elysia looked up slightly.
“Ely…” Elena pushed Elysia down.
“Yes, I am here.” Elysia lay on the bed, curious about what Elena would do. She felt embarrassed, but she smiled gently as she gazed at Elena’s divine angelic face.
She slept all day for further recovery after her spirit was healed. At that time, she had a dream about her last encounter with the Seraph of the End. She won the battle against Sera and received a wish for Sera to grant.
“Would you lend me an absolute power that can eliminate an overwhelming threat of danger, a source of calamity and sorrow? I wish to save a world from the invasion of an evil curse-bearing race.”
“No one can predict with certainty what kind of race threatens the world you want to save. However, is that your wish, Elysia?”
“Yes.”
“Very well, I will infuse one of my supreme magic into your left hand. You can destroy a universe if you want, but it can only be used once. So make sure you have enough magic power and a mighty vessel to use it.
Otherwise, your existence could be swallowed or destroyed. It could be your actual death.
You need to become stronger than ever and raise your worth before you can use my rune insignia. Remember, the victor, the challenger who managed to win against my great self. You–“
Elysia recalled her last encounter with Sera in the Boundless Realm. However, Elena suddenly brought her back from her brief reverie.
A particular sisterly bond event occurred in the Elysian Realm, with no one knowing but the two of them.
