Chapter 675: The Battle has Broken Out
"Elysia and the others are back?" A person clad in navy blue water armor landed near Nell.
"Stay quiet. I'm concentrating." Nell put her hands on either side of her head. She could feel Elysia getting closer, and she didn't want to mess with her coordinate because Elysia was using it.
*Bzzt*
A dimensional golden hole opened right in front of Nell. At that moment, Nell couldn't hide her feelings of relief, joy, and gratitude. She smiled warmly to greet the ones she had been waiting for for the past two weeks.
"Welcome back!" Nell flapped her fairy-angel wings and greeted Elysia's group with a big smile.
"Fwuuh..." Elysia just heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the dimensional hole behind her and immediately closed it. She still felt a little dizzy from the dimensional shock and slightly staggered.
"Are you all right, Ely?" Sylvia supported Elysia from the side. She held Elysia's arm anxiously, worried that something might happen to her friend.
"Mm, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy." Elysia held her head. Vanessa dropped to the ground, and Xero flew before he fell.
"Here, here. Pain, pain, go away. Are you feeling better?" Nell came close and gave Elysia a light head pat. She applied a little healing magic to relieve Elysia's dizziness.
"Thank you. I'm feeling better." Elysia straightened her back and smiled faintly.
Elena and Rhea then materialized their bodies to the outside world. They were relieved that the journey across dimensions, worlds, and even universes ended well.
By the time Nell saw her big sister, the feeling of longing she had could no longer be contained. She immediately dashed to her big sister for a warm hug. "Big sister, big sister, I missed you so much. Uuu, it was a very tiring two weeks without you, Ely, and the scary Goddess."
"You and everyone have worked hard. Everything will be fine now." Rhea replied with a tender smile and returned Nell's hug.
"Mm, we might fall straight to the losing side when we run out of anti-curse mechanism. We only have less than a dozen of those right now. I don't know what would happen if you could only come back tomorrow or the day after." Nell rubbed her face onto her big sister's cheek.
"Meh, you are all too dependent on those tools." Xero rolled his eyes.
"Huh? Who is this talking crow?" Nell was stunned for a moment and became confused. She seemed to know the bird, but she couldn't tell who.
"He is the Evil God, but we changed his title to Heretic God, and he agreed for some reason." Rhea glanced at the crow above.
"Pfft, he is that Evil God? Why is he a bird now? Is he already dead and reincarnated as a crow?" Nell covered her mouth as she muffled her laughter.
"Hmph! That's all from me. I need to go to rebuild my divine devil body." Xero looked left and right to determine which direction he should go.
"Do you need help? Feel free to ask." Elysia offered a favor. After all, Xero was one of their war party.
"No need. Your holy light attribute will only make me suffer if you help. Since that little boy is light, my darkness is his bane. Therefore, I need to take care of everything with ultimate precision and thorough preparation, keke." Xero flapped its wings and flew high.
"Even so, you probably won't have curse resistance and what your past divine devil body might have. Don't try to use vile techniques or formations like that back then, or we'll need to take strict action against you." Elena gave a reminder and warning before Xero flew away.
"..." Xero stopped in mid-air for a few seconds. He just realized that it was true. Even if he succeeded in rebuilding his divine devil body, he would not have the same glory as two weeks ago.
Even so, it was much better than this lowly crowd body.
"Hmph, I have other plans. See you later!" Xero immediately sped away through the clouds and flew somewhere unknown.
"Ah, he just left. He's changed his title twice now. Let's hope he doesn't do the stupid thing by sacrificing thousands of devils for such a vile formation ritual like that again." Nell muttered as she looked up at the blue sky.
Rhea just sighed softly as she watched where Xero went. She couldn't manage him, but she hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid because she knew Elena's warning was genuine.
"Long time no see, Sea God. We're at war with accursed creatures, huh... Where are we now?" Elena greeted the man in full-body blue water armor.
"Yeah, it's been two weeks. Err, we're currently in the Ariatha Kingdom on the north coast. A sealed area has just collapsed, and we're stepping in to ensure human troops gain the upper hand in this battle." Oceanid folded his arms and looked at the battle in the distance.
"Ariatha Kingdom?" Elysia was reminded of Evelyn, her first friend in this world.
"Hm, the accursed creatures over there look weak. Six Saint-level bosses as the strongest and thousands of weak minions." Elena narrowed her eyes to scan deep into the battlefield.
"Hum, a battalion of Ariatha Kingdom's elite fighters can take care of those accursed creatures if they act according to plan. If the battle continues until dusk, a battalion of reinforcements will arrive here." Oceanid nodded in agreement.
"Hmm-mm." Elena replied with a subtle nod. She then glanced at their group's sexy demonic dragon. "Sylvi, do you want to test your divine battlesuit in that battle?"
"Eh, ah, with pleasure!" Sylvia didn't expect the offer, but she would do so without hesitation if ordered.
"Good. You have six targets over there. They seem to be preparing something which doesn't bode well for human troops. Slay those Sant-level accursed monsters before they jump into battle." Elena gave her orders.
"With all my heart, I serve." Sylvia put her hand to her chest in a knight salute.
Sylvia was about to fly away, but Elena immediately added a condition. "But! Don't let your divine battlesuit be damaged. Make sure to kill them before they go into berserk mode. I know you can do it flawlessly."
Sylvia stopped in mid-air. It wasn't that difficult because she was a Saint-level Devil Princess, especially since she was equipped with a powerful battlesuit. She turned around and gave one more salute. "Yes, master! I will complete my mission without stains or wounds."
Elena only responded with a subtle nod.
Sylvia then went into battle. The Devil Princess summoned her divine spear and got into action. "Hahaha! Die for the good of all."
"Hm, this is Sylvi's first battle with her divine battlesuit, Aracheris. She looks so excited." Elysia clasped her hands together to see Sylvia enter the anti-curse zones and slash at several monsters.
She accidentally looked at the human's camp a few kilometers from the battlefield. The casualties were already there, and the fallen warriors were brought back even though they were dead so as not to be eaten by the accursed creatures.
The deadly battle had already broken out before the estimated time of three months.
"This is a real war, Ely. Casualties are inevitable, and they die honorably as heroes. Their comrades honor them and take them to a safe zone to avoid energizing those monsters. They will be buried with military honors later." Elena patted Elysia's back.
"En, I know that, but- Hm, all right..." Elysia was about to propose something, but Elena immediately gave a telepathic refusal.
Resurrecting the dead every time it happened wouldn't help everyone, especially since the death had come to the fallen warriors a few hours ago. It would only put an unnecessary burden on Elysia and unexpected future problems since they would be involved in many wars.
Not to mention, Lifa reminded them of the weight of reviving someone after death came to the dead.
Elysia then watched Sylvia dance on the battlefield with a black spear as a weapon. Human troops quickly went into offensive formation since the giant monsters had been dealt with by a demonic dragon beastkin.
"Little one, were you involved in the battle here? Then, how about you, Oceanid?" Elena asked in a low mumble.
"Mm, I was at that battle to minimize casualties. However, Oceanid soon came here after slaughtering an Emperor-level accursed creature in the middle of the sea." Nell reported.
"I see..." Elena just nodded slightly.
"Pristine Darkness Slash!" Sylvia swung her spear and slashed into the empty air several times.
However, thousands of black slashes instantly slashed hundreds of accursed creatures around her, including the six Saint-level accursed creatures. She was previously surrounded, but the enemies instantly turned into meat paste and became black mist. Yet, it was instantly absorbed by the anti-curse mechanism.
"Oops, that seems a bit overkill. But, who cares." Sylvia checked her body, wings, and tail to ensure there were no stains or wounds.
"Now it's time to go back and claim some credit for me~ Those humans can take care of these weak monsters." After saying that, Sylvia left the battlefield since her objective was completed.
"That's amazing, Sylvi. You wiped out a quarter of the monster horde in just three minutes." Elysia greeted Sylvia with praise.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to your gift. This divine battle suit has some credit, Ely. Aracheris is amazing, and I sometimes feel like a God-killing weapon when fighting in this." Sylvia hugged her spear and smiled in satisfaction. She felt satisfaction in receiving Elysia's compliment.
"Sylvi, good job. Now, save your powers for later and deactivate your divine battlesuit. You too, Ely." Elena gave a brief compliment and quick instructions.
Elysia and Sylvia looked at each other. They immediately deactivated their divine battlesuit as ordered. After that, they watched the battle go on to the end.
Due to Sylvia's involvement in the battle just now, there were no additional casualties after that. The accursed creatures were exterminated successfully in less than an hour.
The warriors and knights cheered for their victory. Happy cries were echoed with enthusiasm.
