Chapter 240: Obliterate it Without any Remainder
"This soil stained with poison and curse is the place where thousands of accursed creatures were sealed. Your Goddess called them cursed creatures, but they are accursed monsters. For those with powers at Spirit level or above, they evolved under the name Ruvoid." Elena made the one to two-meter long silver items float above her hand. Then, she turned around and gave some identification based on her and Elysia's observations.
Before anyone could open their mouths to speak, Elena continued her words. "These three silver items are just a few of the many items that function to seal the accursed monsters and support the dome barrier."
"If so, why did this incident occur? Yesterday, the team in charge of the test had thoroughly inspected the forest, and there was no such barrier." Arthur felt something was wrong. He knew that but didn't know the exact thing.
"It was either the seal that was broken, or someone deliberately broke the seal. The team you mentioned did not find an area this wide? Did the team in question try to check underground? The accursed monsters slaughtered by my little disciple were sealed down there." Elena pointed down and tapped her feet to the substantial light element where she stood.
"Then, how did the dome barrier suddenly appear to the surface?" Arthur put his hand to his chin, thinking about a few things.
"The answer to your question is the area sealing mechanism. The sealing system created by the Gods and Goddesses in the past definitely has a precautionary measure. Even if the seal is broken, something like a final barrier to prevent the sealed monster from escaping was only natural." Elena replied to the question in a lofty tone. She made up the assumptions, but she found it entirely believable.
After saying that, Elena turned her head towards Alexander. She didn't want to be continuously questioned, so she had to move the topic to the next part of the plan.
"Alexander Celestine, one of the few who is researching the lost history, including the accursed monsters. Accept this. You can have these silver items and research them. This is something that belongs to the Goddess you worship to seal those monsters." Elena sent the items to float closer to the Pope. She handed over three Earth Grade items because she only wanted to know the result, not the process.
"It's honor and glory to my humble self." Alexander accepted it politely. He immediately secured the three long silver 'magical staff' into his Space Bag.
"Good. Now, get away from here. I will purify this area before I leave." Elena ordered in an unassailable tone. Then, she turned to Vanessa, who was lying near Elysia. "You are a good tiger. Please take care of my little disciple."
"It is my pleasure, my master's master." Vanessa responded proudly, even though she was still shrouded in confusion.
"Hum-hum." Elena chuckled a little before turning around and flying to the sky. The three pairs of wings were slightly flapped, though the one that propelled her to flight was magic.
The Goddess had flown away, but the attention was still focused on her. However, the Goddess's words were still ringing in everyone's heads.
"We stay away from here according to the Goddess of Light's orders." Arthur declared to the knights, mages, and others. But, before they about to leave, his attention was drawn to the thin black sword stuck in the ground.
The sword was Elysia's odachi. Arthur planned to bring it for the Goddess's disciple because he was the closest to the odachi. To his surprise, he could not pull the black odachi off the ground even though he tried with his strength.
"Ahem! Zach, can you bring this odachi for our hero? We need to get away from here immediately." Arthur cleared his throat. He didn't want to look embarrassed and ordered the knight beside him.
"Allow me to carry out your orders, Your Majesty." The knight in heavy armor walked over. He grabbed the odachi, but nothing happened after that.
"What happened, Zach?" Arthur asked as if he didn't know anything.
"I'm trying to pull out this thin sword, Your Majesty. However, this weapon seems permanently stuck in the ground. Mh!" Zach admitted it with honesty and confusion. He failed to pull out the weapon no matter how hard he tried.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the odachi and then to the knight with a large build who tried his best to pull out the weapon but failed.
Unfortunately, some girls just ignored it. Rosie immediately approached Elysia with an expression of joy, Bianca followed after. Meanwhile, Serena just wanted to run away, but she didn't dare.
But in Rosie's stride, she found a handle of a low tier sword with a somewhat familiar emblem engraved on it. It was from the Reinhard Duke Family! How could any of the weapons made by her family be here?
She assumed that the sword was destroyed when Elysia fought the monsters because it was found near the girl. The student council president kept the sword handle in her Space Bag, and she would ask about that later. Then, she continued to walk closer to Elysia.
"Ely, I'm happy you're healthy and alive. You're so silly. Why are you fighting alone? The reinforcements are coming. Why don't you just run away?" Rosie scolded the girl who made her sad and cried just a moment ago. She ignored this little girl's feat, who had eradicated all those monsters.
"Please forgive me. I don't have much choice under consideration." Elysia put on a guilty and pitiful expression. That managed to calm Rosie from the emotional outlet.
"Never mind, now we must heed your Goddess master's orders and stay away from this place." Rosie shook her head. She should be pleased with this result and not scold the girl who had just been brought back to life.
"Okay, let's get on Vann's back." Elysia nodded slightly and turned towards the winged white tiger.
"Eh? Is this tiger Vanessa? How could that cute and sweet little white cat suddenly turn into a fierce winged tiger?" Evelyn was shocked when she found out the identity of the big tiger. The surprise was late because her attention was too much, only on her best friend from the start, and then the Goddess's arrival.
"Yes, she is Vanessa. Vann is a tiger at Spirit level." Elysia acknowledged that, and the tiger nodded in response.
"Uhm, what? You said Vann was a cat, Ely, not a tiger." Ella also felt a little surprised. She didn't know how the little cat could become a big tiger.
"But I haven't said that Vann is a Spirit Beast, have I?" Elysia refuted with justification. Ella and Evelyn suddenly fell silent because it was true.
Their attention was then drawn to the knight, who was trying to pull the black odachi off the ground. Elysia smiled wryly in confusion, and so did the other girls.
"Let's go over there. Looks like my odachi is getting weird." Elysia requested, and the two girls who were still helping her only nodded.
The three of them walked up to the odachi, and the knight gave up when he realized his efforts were in vain. Elysia stretched out her hand and pulled the odachi off the ground with ease. Why was that? She didn't even know, just like the others.
Yet, the shock and oddity were sidetracked by the noble voice of an authoritative existence. "Why are you still there? Get away from here, or you could be affected."
Hearing that, no one dared to be negligent in carrying out the Goddess of Light's orders. All of the people who were the subject of the Goddess's words immediately flew away towards the capital city.
Elena saw that everyone had flown away, then she smiled a little. She hovered right above the center of the doomed ground, about to purify the evil things that were contaminating the land.
Previously, she and Elysia had discussed ways to deal with this contaminated soil. They hoped that Holy Magic to purify things could dispel their bad feelings about this purplish black soil.
As Elena was preparing to use her magic, she accidentally saw a lump of purplish-black liquid under the ground. It looked alive and horrible, like the previous poisonous slime, but this one was intangible.
She was so shocked when she saw the status of the slime liquid. It was the Saint Ruvoid that was slowly regenerating.
'Ely, do you see what I see? The Saint Ruvoid is still down there in slime form. The monster's HP rose very slowly. Now it touches ten.' Elena gave the news to Elysia for discussion.
'Oh, wow, our vision can be shared in this state. Yes, I can see it. Ten HP, hmm... Perhaps, scorching it completely without a remainder would kill it now and forever... Can you do something about that slime liquid, Sister Elena?' Elysia tried analyzing it for a suggestion, but she could only leave the final blow to Elena.
'Looks like that slime liquid doesn't have high immunity to magic. I'm gonna try to burn everything down, okay?' Elena asked confirmation with sparkling eyes as if she liked to burn things like an arsonist or pyromaniac.
'Well, but don't go overboard with whatever you're trying to do, okay? Please be careful when using high-destructive magic.' Elysia reminded that with a little worry. She looked at Elena from a distance, hoping that a massive explosion would not occur.
'Hehe, take it easy. I'll just summon one meteoroid to hit the slime. The blast wave can obliterate it without any remainder, right? Yes, it does very well with minimal magic!' Elena was excited about her idea. While Elysia prayed it was only a small meteoroid and not a large asteroid.
