Chapter 381: Beast Continent Turmoil
Rhea took over the conversation and the like shortly after. However, she first explained how she and her Goddess friends would not involve themselves too much in worldly affairs other than something fatal or vital.
After that, she just talked about accursed monsters and how to deal with them, somewhat similar to what was conveyed to the fairies. Of course, it included a bit of history from the story of the world more than a hundred thousand years ago.
Nell also added to the trap plans and the like. With that said, other than humans and devils, fairies and elves were now enlightened. They could prepare to fight those accursed monsters in another two or three months.
"The thing to watch out for with these accursed monsters apart from their immense strength is their varied unique abilities and anti-magic trait. As already mentioned, the one thing that is most disturbing and dangerous is the curse that will strike whoever kills them. Some of them even can send curses on the enemy." Rhea made a brief conclusion from what had been said.
"All of those curses are also difficult to determine. The curse energy is very dangerous depending on the source of the being that possesses it. If you want to be safe, make sure you don't eradicate them with your own abilities or magic directly.
Traps, sealing methods, restraint formations, and some other tricks like I said earlier can help you to minimize casualties. But that only applies to minions below Sprit-level." Nell emphasized the key points as she paced back and forth on the table with a lecturing hand gesture.
Ashera and the others were silent for a moment to digest what they had just heard. They came to know a little about what happened in ancient history. They came to realize how dangerous the accursed monsters were.
This world was once ravaged by accursed monsters, and even many divine beings had died during that dark period. Then, that doomsday would happen again soon...
"If the curse we're discussing is that dangerous, is there a way for us to deal with it if we get hit?" Kethryllia put down her pen after taking notes on all the things these divine beings had said.
"We have a few tricks. You can seal the evil energy before it spreads out with high-level sealing magic. But to completely eradicate the cursed energy can only be done by the Goddess of Light." Rhea grasped her hand and glanced at Elena.
"We understand. Thank you for your guidance and enlightenment. The Elven Race will soon be preparing to battle those accursed creatures." Ashera looked at the Goddesses with appreciation and reverence, especially at the Goddess of Light.
"In this world, there are only a few divine existences left, so don't expect us to protect you during any decisive battle. Our focus is to eradicate the God-level accursed monster that is sealed somewhere in the world.
You can investigate your territory to find ancient ruins or old historical sites. Perhaps, it is a sealed area. Pay attention to the characteristics of the sealed area that we mentioned earlier and make careful preparations. Are we clear enough?" Elena leaned back leisurely.
Ashera and the other elves looked at each other, except for one elf who was semi-unconscious. They nodded and conveyed a little about their understanding and plans to the Goddess of Light. Even so, the latter only responded casually as if the plan was feasible to implement.
"For now and onwards, we will desperately need your presence. Please do not abandon your faithful servants, o the Goddess of Nature." Ashera clasped her hands as if pleading. For some reason, she felt that the Goddess of Nature no longer wanted to be considered an Elven Goddess?
"Mm." Rhea gave a short response, not with a yes or no, because she couldn't promise anything either. Now, she only wanted to care for and take care of her mother, then her two in one master to serve. So, she no longer had any obligation to any responsibilities other than that.
Elena snapped her fingers. At the same time, the red-eyed Elven Emperor was finally able to move and be freed from Ashera's magic. She did that on purpose to see how this rude male elf reacted. "You need to be grateful that I did not move to punish you. Before we leave, what would you like to say, Elven Emperor Gaerradh Genharice?"
"Please forgive me for my undignified behavior. I'm carried away by thoughts of the past." Gaerradh clasped his fist and bent down. He knew very well he needed to do that despite his status.
"Do that to my precious disciple. What will happen if my disciple is traumatized because of you?" Elena wiggled her index finger to indicate a no.
"Ugh." Gaerradh felt like raising objections, but he did as he was asked anyway. "Little girl, please accept my apologies. I didn't mean to insult you or anything."
"It's okay." Elysia didn't understand why Elena asked this elf to apologize to her. She didn't need an apology because the previous scenario was Elena's idea in the first place.
"I think that's enough, and it's time for us to go." Rhea declared it for closing, but a fluffy ball approached with a slightly reluctant expression.
"You want to go already? Can't you stay a little longer?" Hea pleaded with a pitiful expression. She wanted to spend a little more time with the Goddesses.
"Please forgive us, but we have some things we need to take care of and check on the Beast Continent." Rhea smiled faintly and shook her head slightly.
"Ah, will we meet again?" Hea thought she now had many opportunities to meet this kind-hearted Elven Goddess.
"Yes, time will bring us together in the near future." Rhea gave the answer without hesitation because it was true.
"Yay! Thank you. I will be looking forward to our next meeting." Hea jumped in joy, but she paused for a moment as she remembered something related to the Beast Continent. "Uhm, please forgive me if I ask this, but are you going to see the Beast God?"
"Hum? That's right, but why do you look a little worried? Did something happen on the Beast Continent?" Rhea was feeling a little confused as she looked at Hea.
"Ah-um..." Hea tried to come up with the right words to say, but she doubted the validity of the information. Thus, she turned around and asked someone who knew more about the details. "Ashe, the news you told me about the Beast God and his family. Something that happened on the Beast Continent. At that time, what was it about?"
"Hmm? Something happened to the Beast God?" Ashera tilted her head slightly as she wondered what Hea wanted her to explain.
"No. I mean, about the Beast God. Something about the great upheaval on the Beast Continent a few years ago. I forgot when it was. You know, one story you told me, there was a story about one of the strongest Beast Emperors being killed. A coup or what? Please tell us that again because it might help our Goddess and her friends visit."
There no one noticed except the tortoise. The white cat flinched when Hea mentioned that.
"Oh, about that! All right." Ashera dropped her fist on her palm. Then, she looked at the Goddess of Nature. "Maybe it's not much. Before you go to the Beast Continent, would you be willing to listen to a bit of information from me?"
The baby Rhea checked her masters and her little sister's expressions briefly before using her avatar to give her approval. "Sure, we would really appreciate it."
After that, Ashera told an informative story about something that happened on the Beast Continent about eleven years ago, with a bit of history, of course.
The Beast God was known in the world as the figure of a mighty fiery lion. He had many wives and concubines, as well as his descendants.
A clan of about a hundred powerful fiery lions was formed with the Beast God as the clan's head. The Beast Continent was their territory, and the Beast God's clan was known as the Fiery Blaze Lion Clan.
Surprisingly, with the clan's tremendous strength, the Fiery Blaze Lion Clan was never willing to get involved in worldly affairs. They lived in the sacred mountains of the northern Beast Continent, the mountain ranges known as the Scarheim Tops.
Over time, the Fiery Blaze Lion Clan kept growing, and they had several smaller branch clans. Pyrogressive Lion Clan was one of them.
Exactly eleven years ago, the Pyrogressive Lion Clan launched a coup d'etat in the central region of the Beast Continent with a defense that it was their territory since that day.
A Beast Emperor who ruled that region died on the spot, and the rest of that pitiful Beast Emperor's family could only escape. Details were unknown beyond that.
It was a time when the Beast Continent was in turmoil. A large-scale cold war was about to happen. But, strangely, it became peaceful within a few weeks, and all the problems just disappeared. Perhaps, the Beast God intervened?
"That's all we know. I hope it will be of some use if you wish to meet that tyrant Beast God and his big family." Ashera recalled if she missed something, then ended her story.
Elysia suddenly noticed Vanessa was shaking with an unstable emotional turmoil. She didn't know what happened, but she seemed to know that Vanessa was on the verge of either crying or exploding in rage.
