Chapter 120: Recovery, Holy Warriors
Chapter 120: Recovery, Holy Warriors
A heavy atmosphere loomed over the royal bedchamber as all of Aleron's summons faced Aleron who was sleeping on the bed.
Enorin sat to his left, Angelic Golden Order divine-ranked Bloodline's healing-type ability, Golden Tonic, to heal Aleron.
Yueha sat to his right, using her Phoenix-Rite Emporio Verglas's healing-type ability-Tears of Rebirth, on Aleron.
Rias's Luminus Longinus Bloodline was Mythical-rank, but it also had healing-type ability and she had exhausted her Bloodline essence already, so she wasn't conscious anymore as she lay sleeping on the bed's other side with pale expression.
Aleron's body was no longer in half, but both internally and externally, his body had deathly black rotten marks which were the effects of Demon Lord Narzar's attack skill.
"Master is recovering well," Enorin softly spoke with his hand still gripping Aleron's and healing him. "Although the death decay effect on his body was strong, his natural physical recovery is able to fight the decay along with our abilities and he is steadily recovering."
Everyone's eyes showed clear relief.
"On the health side, he will recover completely in half an hour," Yueha said, but her expression was not that of relief just like Enorin because both of them knew that the damage was more than just to his body.
"His soul is injured and we need pure soul essence to heal him," Yueha looked at Darzax. "Fortunately, Master created Hell which gathers pure soul essence from wicked souls who refuse to repent by refining them. We need it."
"I'll go and collect it," Darzax nodded before he vanished from the room.
"We go out. No more disturbing Master," Mei said with a clenched fist.
The others shared the same thoughts and also more as they left through the balcony door of the room and arrived in the garden, including Roxen as she joined the group.
"We all are worried about Master, but let's not waste time doing nothing," Hua said as he clenched his fist. "We need to get stronger for Master so we can better aid him in his endeavors!"
"We go to an Island now," Mei said as she looked at everyone, "I found a strange place on the island I was exploring...one of the secret places like the Abyssal Kingdom."
"We are not as strong as you are, but can we tag along please, seniors?" Ruan said with a resolved expression.
"Let us all go," Fang nodded, his expression severe, "We must also quickly master the power our Lord gave us."
"What place is it, Mei?" Riki asked as the ghastly blue flame around his bald head lit up with more intensity than usual.
"It's a strange forest made up of crystals and the monsters are also made of colorful crystals," Mei said with a serious expression, "Very powerful. I killed one and it dropped this."
"I was going to check, but Master's news arrived and hurried here," Mei took out a sparkling yellow-blue crystal.
"Lightning," Jiang said as his beard and eyes crackled with lightning. "This crystal contains a profound understanding of lightning."
"If there are colorful crystals, then it means..." Fang muttered but he didn't need to continue as everyone understood.
"Let's go," Hua said with fiery eyes. "Such a place is best to improve our qualitative combat power!"
Everyone had mastery of elements according to their affinity but at different levels. The higher the level of mastery, the stronger the element's power and control, which would open up to let them create better skills with stronger effects!
Without wasting any more time, Mei took everyone to one of the seven major secret regions of this Eldertide Archipelago.
As of now, two major secret regions have been discovered. First, Underworld Abyssal Kingdom.
Second, the Crystal Spires of Auroraville that Mei just discovered.
And now, only five remained to be discovered.
1. The Crystal Spires of Auroraville - Found.
-2. The Eldertree Sanctuary-Not found.
-3. The Serpent's Spine Mountains-Not found.
4. The Shimmering Lagoon-Not Found.
5. The Underwater Abyssal Kingdom-Found.
-6. The Twilight Glade-Not found.
-7. The Obsidian Tower-Not found.
...
Darzax arrived in Hell and went to the area where pure soul essence gathered after Hell refined the souls.
Those willingly taking punishment and atoned gave less pure soul essence as only their evil was getting refined as they willingly accepted the pain. They retained their memories and
personality.
On the other hand, those who refused to repent were entirely getting refined, essentially erasing their existence which gave much more pure soul essence.
Darzax grabbed 100,000 Soul Essence, which would be more than enough, and hurriedly returned to the bedchamber.
"I'll infuse it into his soul slowly and heal it," Darzax said as he stood a meter away from the bed.
He released a soul string made of his soul force towards Aleron and connected to his soul before slowly infusing the pure soul essence into Aleron's soul to nourish and recover it.
At the corner of the soul sea, the perpetually tortured soul of Akuma Apuch was watching everything.
"This bastard's soul is injured...what a perfect chance to take over his body," Apuch's soul trembled with agitation and greed while getting ravaged by storms of lightning around him that Aleron had set up.
Alas, he could only dream because he had no power to break free from this prison of torture. This storm formation to punish and inflict pain on Apuch was directly connected to Aleron's Magilore source to keep it perpetually on, keeping him extremely weak.
[Gachapi: Don't even think about it. Keep hope of escaping, but it will never come true, you piece of dung.]
Since Aleron wasn't using Magilore actively at the moment, Gachapi raised the intensity of punishment as Apuch's painful screams echoed.
[Gachapi: Master, get well soon.]
...
Lightdusk Central region, Goddess Church.
In a serene courtyard of the Holy Warriors, four people sat around a round table.
All of them looked in their thirties or forties: one woman, and three men.
"Sorry for the wait."
A beautiful woman with long braided dark silver hair in a casual black dress suddenly appeared on the empty chair at the table-Amelia Larsen, the leader of Holy Warriors with the power level of Peak-stage Primeval rank and strongest among the five.
"It appears that the seal from Demonic Continent is broken. The demons would arrive once they are prepared for invasion," Amelia said as she leaned back on the chair, and crossed her
legs.
"What's the plan?" Rofus asked, his eyes glinting with an amber spark as his shoulder-length red hair also glowed as if magical. "We should initiate an attack first and kill a few Demon Kings before they gather?"
Rofus Lexon, the second strongest of the five, having the power level of High-stage
Primeval-rank.
The other three also had a power level of High-stage Primeval-rank.
The five of them were weaker fifty years ago, early-stage Primeval-rank, but they had spent the past fifty years in the battlefield zone to acquire resources with leisure and training, successfully reaching the high stage while improving and expanding their arsenal of power.
"I must talk with Goddess Elysia first," Amelia said as she closed her eyes before the necklace around her neck briefly shone.
Elysia already knew that the five puppies she had nurtured and given exclusive freedom into the battlefield zone that she had anchored to this planet had returned.
She made her appearance in the courtyard as all five Holy Warriors knelt in front of her.
"Rise."
They stood up and looked at the goddess with respect, awaiting her words.
"You have called me to give you a direction, but I cannot do that," Elysia said with a faint
smile, looking divine with the halo around her and her aura.
"Be aware of the continent, gather power, resist the troubles, and overcome them. How you
do it is up to you. This is all I can say, my warriors."
"Good luck and all the best in your endeavors."
Elysia vanished, not giving a fuck about them. But there was a reason for it as well, displayed
clearly after she left.
"Tsk, this bitch always does this," the green-haired man looking in his thirties muttered, attracting glares from others-Fecu Lence, the fourth strongest of the group.
"Fecu," the bearded middle-aged man with a muscled body frowned-Kaza Hiffin, the fifth strongest of the group.
"Don't give me that," Fecu snorted. "As if you all are not thinking the same thing."
A pair of black feathery wings unfurled from his behind as he licked his lips, "It's been fifty
years since I had some fun. I have to visit the academy and see some new flowers that are waiting to get deflowered by me."
"I am also going to have some leisure time, Ame," the blond-haired woman with a hot figure said with a smile. "You can call me once you have decided to take some action."
Muckfil Thisi, the third strongest of the Holy Warrior.
"Stop," Amelia's aura suddenly burst out and a strange spherical domain opened that caused
Fecu and Thisi to quickly resist the powerful gravity as they shot towards the ground with a
thud, their feet digging two inches into the ground.
"We have something to talk about. You can leave after that," Amelia said with a deadpan
expression. "Sit."
"Tsk, fine."
The five of them sat at the table before Amelia waved her hand as a Mirage crystal flew out from her storage ring and projected an image.
"The war is coming and even though we are ready, our continent is not. The secret realm will open after four days for resources, and then the Grand Rado Labyrinth after nine days." Amelia narrowed her eyes, "Although we won't benefit from either of those, it's a must to produce more powerhouses, especially from the bunch of summoned heroes who are gathering here."
"Why are you saying that while showing a random brat's photo?" Fecu asked with slight
annoyance. "Who in the turd is he?"
The others were also curious.
Indeed, the photo belonged to none other than Aleron.
