Chapter 555 - Going To War
"Excuse me." Rosie was the first guest to enter, and the others followed.
By the time they saw Elysia and the girls already clad in beautiful dresses, they were stunned for a few seconds.
"So beautiful... Ah, I mean, I heard you\'re sick, Ely. But why are you in that pretty dress? Here, a gift from us. Please accept it." Rosie handed Elysia a parcel containing assorted fruits, flowers, elixir, and pills.
"Thank you. However, I\'m not sick, though? I\'m just not getting enough sleep." Elysia tilted her head slightly in confusion. She then looked at Oceanid, but the latter just scratched his head.
"Oh, is it like that? Anyway, you\'ve been back to this city since three days ago, but none of us were able to see you. I only heard about your situation from Evelyn and Gabriella, but this morning, I got news that you were sick." Rosie turned her head to her little brother with a questioning look.
"What? I came here this morning with the boys. But, the lord of the seven seas said that Elysia isn\'t in a state where she can receive guests. Anyway, it\'s great news to see you in good health, Elysia." Fran scratched his head.
"Ho~" Rosie nodded once then looked at Elysia\'s group. "Ah, looks like you guys are going somewhere? Sorry to interrupt then."
"No, no one is bothered. Please have a-" Elysia pointed her palm into the living room. Still, Sylvia, Yuuki, and the others already occupied all the sofas.
At that moment, Yuuki dropped her fist onto her open palm. She took something out of her Space Bag then put down some extra sofas.
"Here, please have a seat. I\'ll make some tea for you." Yuuki pointed her palm at the sofa before she went to the kitchen.
After Rosie and everyone else sat on the sofa, Rosie opened her mouth to speak. "Our arrival here is actually because we want to say goodbye to all of you before we return to our hometown."
"Eh? You\'re all going back to your hometown? Did something happen?" Elysia felt somewhat surprised to hear that.
"Yes, you may not know this yet, but the academy is closed and all students have an indefinite holiday. This is related to a great war that will probably break out in three months. We will all return to our hometowns tomorrow afternoon because we want to protect our family with everything we have." After saying that, Rosie smiled gently.
Elysia didn\'t answer with words, but her expression was clearly visible to everyone. She looked at all her acquaintances from the academy with worry and concern.
"You don\'t need to worry about us, Elysia. We can take care of ourselves. This is our first war experience actually. Fuiyoh, we will all be involved in the greatest great war in history! There is no hiding place, and we choose to jump into battle." Brian raised his fist with a big smile.
"Yeah, even if we\'re not very strong, at least we can fight to protect our loved ones." Ashton folded his arms and nodded slightly.
"The Holy Cathedral is also producing great magic items for war and will be distributed to every region as soon as possible. They are weapons that will help us fight against those terrible monsters." Joanna raised her hand as she stated that information.
"Hm, the academy will make sure all students return to their hometowns safe. All students from other cities or regions will all depart tomorrow afternoon. Are you all going to stay in this city? How about you, Evelyn?" Raylee nodded slightly then looked at Evelyn.
"I will go back home tomorrow morning." Evelyn heaved a subtle sigh as she knew she couldn\'t come along tomorrow. After all, the divine beings would set out to take care of that Accursed God.
"I see..." Raylee nodded in understanding.
"Are you all going to the battlefield, participating in the war? Weapons of the Holy Cathedral?" Elysia bit her lower lips. She had a bad feeling about this.
"That is what I would have done, but none of us were allowed to be in the front row." Brian shrugged his shoulders.
"Even though you are aware that you may not be able to return home safely if you enter the battlefield? This is no ordinary war, you know?" Elysia asked again.
"Yeah, I\'m not afraid to die as long as it has a meaning. Even if my name is not remembered by history, but I will die with honor. But, I won\'t fall that easily. I\'ve tried the Holy Cathedral\'s advanced weapons, and it\'s really great for increasing the body\'s overall abilities. Isn\'t that right, David?" Brian patted his friend\'s back.
"Yeah, we\'re going to grind those monsters to a pulp!" David raised his fist high.
"We will all fight to defend our homeland and world from the invasion of evil creatures. We can\'t just sit back and watch." Ashton clenched his fists with a confident smile.
"I see... Fighting to defend the homeland, huh..." Elysia muttered under her breath. She then asked a few things about who would go into battle.
Of the eleven acquaintances who came on the occasion, five admitted that they would only participate in the back row to handle miscellaneous matters. They were Rosa, Joanna and co.
While the rest insisted on participating in the war as warriors. In fact, many students decided to participate because every staff member was very helpful.
After a few conversations, Elysia ended up sighing softly and clasped her hands in prayer. "Sigh... We are not beings strong enough to fight the accursed. If that is your decision, then I can only send my prayers to you, and your family well-being. It is a war to defend our world, may safety and good things always be with us."
"Amen." The others responded almost simultaneously.
"Ah, then, we excuse ourselves. We are satisfied to see all of you before we leave tomorrow. Hopefully we can meet again." Rosie wiped the few tears at the corners of her eyes and stood up.
"Wait, I have something for you." Elysia extended her hand to signal Rosie to sit back down.
"Hm? Is there something, Ely?" Rosie looked at Elysia with a surprised look. She then sat back down as asked.
"You may not know this yet, but we\'ve recently implemented something called the Anti Curse Mechanism. The Goddess of Blessings has already distributed it across all areas of war potential. However, I want you to always carry this with you under any circumstances. Please accept this." Elysia took out a box from her Space Storage.
The box suddenly appeared on the table with a poof. It opened and revealed six spherical white crystals to everyone.
"May I know what this is, Ely? It looks like a crystal ball, but it\'s like a mysterious metal too." Rosie picked up a ball to examine it.
"We call it a power ball. You will know how to use it when you are in a critical situation. It can be a life saving treasure for you. If you are in an urgent situation or certain thing, hold the power ball with strong determination and shout whatever suddenly pops into your mind." Elysia explained a little about the function.
It was the experimental transformation catalyst. The prototype before creating the divine transformation item that she made with Elena and the two Goddesses.
Seeing the confused expressions of Rosie and the others, Rhea smiled faintly. "It\'s a Heaven Grade Artifact. The power behind great responsibility. One warning from me, it will only be trash if you don\'t have great determination, purpose, intent, and passion."
"!!!" Fran, Raylee, and the boys immediately grabbed one for them.
Elysia gave such a high-level artifact to them because she was worried that they might not return alive? What a noble heart with extraordinary faith.
"Then, I will accept this power ball with full responsibility, I will use the power you lent to protect." Brian gripped the spherical metal tightly with emotion. He never thought that this beautiful angel cared about him. It was unexpected, but he was happy.
Others then expressed their gratitude by emphasizing their goals. The power to protect.
"Whoo, that\'s a bit unfair. You\'re not giving me anything, Ely? I\'m also going to contribute to the war. Me and my men make armor and war equipment for a lot of people." Rosa pouted as she was feeling jealous.
"I prepared something else for you. Here, this is for you." Elysia lifted a board from the box and took out five small boxes.
Rosa, Joanna and the three other girls accepted it with a thousand thanks and joy. It was a beautiful white necklace, and they had a lot of expectations for it.
"It will protect you from any harm. Please make sure to always wear the necklace under all circumstances." Elysia smiled to see Rosa and the other four girls looking happy to receive the necklace.
"You\'re so caring, Ely. I\'m glad to know you, thank you very much." Rosa clutched her necklace with a genuine smile.
After a few pleasantries, Rosie and the others decided it was time for them to leave. They knew that Elysia\'s group would be going somewhere after this.
"Hopefully we can meet again another time, Ely. We will all be able to survive, for the sake of everyone and this world too." Rosie waved her hand in farewell.
"Mm, see you next time. Please don\'t die, no matter what." Elysia waved her hand. Ella and Evelyn too.
"For our lovely angel, we won\'t die that easily. Haha, live the light of glory. See you next time, Elysia. I will definitely be back as a great guy." After saying that, Brian walked away with his chest puffed out.
After the guests left, Elysia sighed and sat back down on the sofa.
"Is that okay? I gave them six of our first prototypes?" Elysia looked into Rhea\'s eyes.
"That\'s fine. It\'s just a trial battle armor that will increase the wearer\'s abilities based on their affinity. It will greatly increase their survival percentage even if they are quite weak. You care enough for them too, Ely." Rhea replied with a smile.
"Wow, Ely really is very rich and generous, right? She gave us divine grade treasures and gave heaven grade treasures to her acquaintances. Close friends and acquaintances get a share. Only a Goddess\'s disciple and Goddesses Tamer can do that. But, I want a necklace like that too... Would Ely give it to me if I asked for it?" Sylvia whispered close to Yuuki\'s ear.
Yuuki\'s fox ears twitched slightly. She then silenced the devil girl\'s mouth. "You\'ve got a divine item, and you still want something else from Ely? You\'re so greedy. What if Ely hears you and thinks you\'re ungrateful?"
"Oof." Sylvia immediately covered her mouth.. However, Yuuki\'s hand was already there.
