Novel Full Chapter 11 - The Goddess Of Light
Elysia returned to the ground and immediately sat on a small flat rock beside a small pond, still emitting a dark gold energy aura as if she was a firefly in the dark of the night.
'Alright, now it will be fine. Calm yourself, Ely...'
Elysia saw her hands start shaking and began to turn pale along with her whole body which also began to decrease in body temperature.
She blew warm air from her beautiful mouth into her delicate hands before rubbing them together to make warmth and lay them on her face.
After no longer suppressing the fear she had experienced since dealing with Sylvia and her father, she began to curl up to keep her body warm before burrowing her face between her arms as if protecting herself from something.
'I felt so cold... My hands and body trembled and began to turn pale... Ely, fight your fear. You can pass it like before...'
Elysia tried to convince herself while she was still in a curled up position. Even though the trauma she experienced was so deep that it caused instinctual reactions, her mind was always in a clear state.
If Elysia's current situation was seen from the perspective of a third person, they would see an absolutely beautiful woman with long, wavy golden hair curled up like a girl who cried because she had been bullied.
After a few moments passed in that state, Elysia had felt better and began to remember the previous events. Because of her fear, she missed a few small details.
'*phew* At least I'm still quite lucky until now. Recall what just happened. Myself who tried to check the state of the cave and met with Sylvia who finally told me many things. Then her scary father came to pick her up.'
Elysia replays the previous event in her memory.
'Sylvia Transcendent, a long silver-haired girl with braids and bright red eyes, pale white skin, with a very well developed adult body but with a rather childish personality. She said she was a devil, but she was no different from humans other than her slightly pointed ears.'
'Then, her father. Dylan Transcendent, a rather sinister-faced man with short white hair and two horns on his head, bright red eyes, with a large body full of dangerous auras.'
'They are dangerous people. I must remember them for my own good.'
Elysia murmured in her mind about the two people she had just met and categorized them into a list of people who should be watched out and needed to avoid.
'But why did the Demon Emperor call me senior? Not to mention he looked a little nervous when he saw me even though he immediately hid it ... Is it because of this gold energy aura? Why does my body shine? I didn't emit light like this before.'
Now she looks more observant to her body while looking at her two hands that still shine like fireflies, not only her hands but her whole body also glows.
'Maybe this gold energy aura has its own meaning... I need to find out later. Eh? I just realized the dress that I am wearing now is different from my previous one... What happened...'
The clothes she wore became luxurious gold and were very different from the previous white dresses.
'Not only has my body changed to look like Sister Elena's body, but her dress too?'
Elysia giggled a little, then she detected that more than 400 people entered her detection zone, 200 meters from the east, heading towards her.
'Human? There are so many of them. How is this... Should I run away or hide? Running away is not the right choice... Hiding, I need to hide, maybe they just pass by or come to check on the situation since the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared here.'
Elysia began to panic with her current situation. But before she could move from her sitting position, only one human continued to approach her and the rest were on standby from a distance of about 200 meters.
Feeling their arrival was intended for her, and only one approached. Elysia discouraged her from running away or hiding after remembering her previous situation with the Demon Emperor.
Elysia closed her eyes and focused on checking the other unexpected things just in case.
A middle-aged man dressed as a knight of nobility with blond hair and green eyes with a long thin sword at his waist approached Elysia alone and stopped at a distance of 5 meters. He didn't seem to dare to approach any closer than that distance.
He immediately knelt with one foot in front with one arm on his chest and bent his body slightly in his kneeling position as if the knight was kneeling before the king in the story that Elysia had read on Earth.
"Greetings to you, the Goddess of Light." His firm voice resounded in the darkness of the night.
But the name he used shocked Elysia who still closed her eyes to focus around and examine unexpected things.
'The Goddess of Light? Is that my role right now?' Elysia murmured in her mind remembering that her body was still shining in the same light which made the Devil Emperor who looked angry at his daughter immediately become a little nervous after seeing her.
Elysia opened her golden eyes and saw firsthand the status of the man who knelt before her and now looked at her.
<| Lv. 144 | Spirit Knight | Harold Reinhard | Male (251) | 128,000 / 128,000 |>
'He has the same surname! I must be careful not to be accused as a perpetrator!'
Elysia gulped a little in her mind after seeing the man's status. But what makes Elysia a little panicked because the man has the same surname from the strongest person from the group who was killed when she was stranded in this world.
"A human? May I know why you came here?" Elysia asked in her melodious voice that made the knight no longer looked at her eyes as if he was afraid to offend the Goddess.
"Forgive me for coming just like that, but I saw a figure full of darkness that resembles the Devil Emperor and your figure from a distance."
"Um. I know what you're worried about. He is indeed the Devil Emperor, but he came to find his daughter who accidentally met me here." Elysia quickly adapted to her current role.
"Then this little knight is relieved to hear that. Please forgive me for my impudence, may I know your identity?" Harold looked up again and looked at the Goddess in front of him.
"Hmm... My name is not recognized by the world or its inhabitants, I just came to this world." Elysia thought for a moment and decided not to tell her name.
Harold did not feel offended because the Goddess before him did not tell her identity, but hearing that this Goddess had just come to this world surprised Harold.
It is common knowledge for holders of power at the Spirit level or above regarding the three Gods on planet Vrelenia. No one knows their figure or their whereabouts, but one thing is certain, they have a golden energy aura if they use their energy.
Harold thought Elysia was one of the three Gods after seeing the golden aura emitted from her body, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Elysia saw the silly face of the knight still on her knees who looked surprised before asking with a smile on her face. "I have heard many stories from the Devil Emperor's daughter about the world order. Since you came here, how about you tell me some stories?"
Harold recovered immediately after hearing the words of the Goddess before him. He actually felt a little panic and anxiety, worried that the story of the Devil Emperor's daughter left a bad impression on humans when conveyed to the Goddess in front of him.
He immediately told many things to Elysia and she just listened with enthusiasm, the pressure she felt at this time was much lighter than with Sylvia before.
Starting from the state of the world, his background, his reasons for coming to Avrora Forest, and other things as if he tried to make the Goddess before him not have a bad impression on humans because of the story of the Devil Emperor's daughter.
The story is similar to the story from Sylvia and what is different is that he is defending the human race.
The world is far broader than Sylvia's explanation before, in Vrelenia there are eight main continents and many small islands around it. There are several races that live in Vrelenia such as the human race, devil, beast, elf, fairy, and many more.
Even so, they don't get along with each other for unknown reasons.
--------------------
Harold Reinhard was a patriarch of the Reinhard Family, the Duke of the Cuttexus Kingdom in the southern part of the Human Continent.
After his granddaughter's 16th birthday, she went with her parents and 200 knights to the Magic Academy in the holy kingdom in the central part of the Human Continent, a place where the younger generation gained knowledge and honed their abilities.
After learning that his family members lost contact in Avrora Forest while delivering his granddaughter to the Aeddoterra Kingdom, a holy kingdom that focuses on training knights and magicians.
He along with his two sons along with 500 of his private troops immediately headed to Avrora Forest to look for their whereabouts while praying for the safety of his eldest son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
They entered deep into Avrora Forest, the forest that covered almost the southern portion of the Human Continent. But in the last area where he lost contact with his eldest son, they only found the severe state of the former battle environment.
Harold thought negatively about the attack and the worst possibility was the death of the whole group, but since no bodies were found or other traces that really confused them, Harold and his entire army expanded their search zone.
After a while of searching, they met a Quantum Winged Tiger who was looking for prey there.
Harold, who imagined the whole group of his eldest son being attacked by the beast, mobilized all the troops that were with him to conquer the beast.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Beast managed to escape from their siege and had already claimed 10 lives.
They followed the dying beast who ran very fast towards the west, on their expedition that continued farther west, they were shaken with an earthquake caused by the Devil Emperor.
After that was a figure like the Devil Emperor that could be seen from a distance because of his blatant arrival and the figure of the Goddess who shined so brightly in the darkness of the night as if it counteracted the dark aura emitted by the Devil Emperor.
They approached the location after the Devil Emperor disappeared with a girl who turned out to be his daughter.
Harold had his entire army stand guard from a safe distance to prevent the Goddess from feeling offended. He approached the location of the Goddess alone and came to the place where the Goddess was.
A very beautiful woman Harold had met sitting on a rock beside a small pond still emitting bright light in the darkness of the night only illuminated by the moon.
Like a Goddess of Light who just descended from heaven, she was closing her eyes in a polite sitting position with one of her arms placed at the top of her chest while the other was on her lap.
Harold opened the conversation by greeting and finally succeeded in making the Goddess open her eyes and look at him.
Very beautiful golden eyes with unique patterns in them made Harold very impressed and fascinated after the graceful appearance of the Goddess.
He recovered soon afterward, worried about offending the Goddess in front of him, and finally told many stories to the Goddess who did not mention her name.
