Chapter 726: Their Battle Game
"!?" Regulus was alarmed when a giant black maggot fell from the sky and headed towards him. The idea of the explosion is stupid, and he needs to intervene in the first step?
Whatever it was, Regulus growled and clawed at the empty air. That giant maggot shattered into tiny maggot shards and rained down on Regulus like slime.
"Grr... Get away from me, you loathsome creature. Destroyed to ashes, divine fire!" Regulus was disgusted and wrapped himself in the divine fire.
Those tiny maggots tried to absorb the magical energy around them. Still, the hot flames that burned them were far beyond their resistance to fire.
Therefore, those tiny maggots were scorched to ashes. However, the threat did not end because the maggots turned into a puff of smoke to attack their killer.
"Useless. I have an active deterrent." Regulus snorted disdainfully to see the curse's futile efforts. That black curse smoke was absorbed into the nearby anti curse mechanism, freeing Regulus from any curse.
"Beast God's divine fire is effective?"
"We finally get to see the Beast God in action!"
"Ooh, as expected of our patriarch."
"We also need to assist our husband in eradicating those cursed monsters."
"Let's move in formation."
"Just like plans and simulations. Everything is moving."
The fire lions behind Regulus muttered in amazement to one another. They then rushed to help their patriarch exterminate all their enemies.
Regulus breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have to do much in this battle because his family would do all the work for him. This was the power of family at its finest. However, several giant maggots somehow bounced into the sky and lunged at him. "How can maggots fly for no reason!?"
"It's him!? Roar, Inferno Vortex, Fiery Claws!" Regulus dodged the giant maggots that had fallen near him and immediately launched his attack on reflex.
Unfortunately, dozens of other giant maggots were flown in from a long distance with Regulus as the primary target.
"Those giant maggots can fly!"
"Make sure no one escapes our encirclement!"
"We must not make the Beast God think we are incompetent."
"Come on, my brothers and sisters, get rid of these disgusting slimy maggots into nothingness."
"Perish!"
The surrounding beasts widened their eyes in shock as those giant creeping monsters shot through the air and fell like bombs towards the Beast God.
"Sea God, what are you trying to accomplish with this!? Stop throwing these disgusting maggots at me!" Regulus roared in rage as he was overwhelmed. He was showered with dozens of monsters at once.
"Protect our patriarch!"
"Defense formation!"
"Those monsters are after the Beast God. Beware of our surroundings!"
"They have intelligence? I thought they were mindless maggots."
"Let's exterminate all those disgusting creatures!"
The fire lions rushed to protect their patriarch from the aggression of the giant maggots. They set up defensive formations and exterminated those disgusting monsters with fire and deadly claw attacks.
"Hehe, it's effortless. The anti-curse mechanism will ensure their safety from the curse, but it's quite fun. Let's do more." Oceanid grinned from a distance. He rushed to throw some of the maggots about to flee toward Regulus and company.
"..." Elysia was speechless at Oceanid's behavior towards Regulus.
"He has discontent towards the Beast God, so he sent those horrid creatures there. See, the Beast God has no other choice but to take part in exterminating those monsters, right? He can't always avoid the monsters like the first one because it will hurt his good name and dignity in front of the beasts." Nell smiled in amusement. She was satisfied to see Regulus in distress, considering he had recently chased her away when she had come with good intentions.
"You can't say that, my little sister. You can't hold a grudge like that because it will affect your divinity." Rhea gave the fairy on her shoulder a head pat with her finger.
"Revenge is not a good thing, but it's a different matter if we give punishment in the name of justice." Lifa smiled faintly.
"Isn't that the same thing? Where is the difference?" Elysia asked curiously.
"You will feel the difference in your mentality, my child. Seek revenge solely out of hatred for what the other party did... You will only find yourself in disfavor in various ways. Meanwhile, you will not feel such drawbacks if you are the superior one. If anyone dares to be funny to you, you just have to punish them for what they did. Revenge is only for the weak against the strong, not the other way around. Your master knows this, and that's why she often guides you. She's talking to you right now, right? Is she still resting?" Lifa ran her hand through Elysia's hair.
'Yup, that's true. I allowed revenge but campaigned for punishment for the sinner instead.' Elena folded her arms and nodded in agreement.
"Ah, yes, my master is still resting, but she is communicating with me right now." Elysia nodded meekly.
"I see... Then, we will go to the Devil Continent and return to the Human Continent for some peaceful time. We just need to supply the anti-curse mechanism to the higher-ups on all continents. They should be able to deal with any threat if they take it seriously." Lifa put her hand to her chin as she proposed a decision.
"That was the plan. Ely also wants to do a training, and I will be her instructor." Rhea couldn't wait for tomorrow to play the role.
"That's nice. I will participate in that." Lifa also felt interested in training Elysia as there were too many things she wanted Elysia to learn.
"Me too!" Nell raised her hand to express her participation.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." Elysia clasped her hands with gratitude.
"Don't sweat it, my child. Look, everyone is so excited about their game. They have almost cleared the monsters on the southern battlefield, starting to move east. They eradicated those monsters more effectively than Beast God and his family, fufu..." Lifa covered her mouth and pointed her palm to the southeast.
"Mm, they are too passionate about their game." Elysia replied with a subtle nod.
Sylvia was the most aggressive, but the one who eradicated those monsters most effectively was Gio. He was only using a little effort to leave none of his enemies alive, just with his earth trap technique.
"Yeah, but the one who got rid of those maggots the most is still Sylvia. Lynn is three scores after her. Then, Gio, Vanessa, and Yuuki. Everyone's scores are so close to each other. Evelyn and Ella are the last, a bit far behind." Nell held up her scoreboard for Elysia to see.
"Ella and Evelyn are in dire need of training because they have minimal experience on the battlefield. Little sister, you will be in charge of training them tomorrow, okay?" Rhea spoke in a concerned tone as she glanced at her little sister.
"All right, it's an easy thing. Hopefully, they don't back down in the middle of my training." Nell gave an ok hand gesture.
'Nell, I have a question that has been bugging my mind for a long time. This is about Ella. Can you please enlighten me without the riddle?' Elysia suddenly asked Nell via telepathy.
'Is this about Ella as my angel candidate?' Nell sighed because she knew what Elysia was going to ask.
'En... Are you really going to appoint Ella as your angel? However, I can see the reluctance in your eyes regarding the matter. Can you tell me why? Sorry to be presumptuous and curious. You may not answer if you don't want to. No one is forcing you.' Elysia looked at Ella and Evelyn. They were in a bit of a predicament as their game was restricted by a few rules to ensure fairness.
'Sigh... Fine, looks like it's time for you and Elena to know.' Nell sighed and went to Elysia's shoulder. She sat there and looked at Ella with a melancholy look. 'I lost almost all my angels during the final battle a hundred thousand years ago. Only one survived by my side to the end of chaos. You've heard of this, right?'
'En, I heard that from you.' Elysia could feel Nell's sadness. Maybe, Nell was traumatized and didn't want to appoint any angels anymore?
'I know what you think of me, but that's not the only problem here. My last surviving angel is the Celestine Family's ancestor, the founder of that family. She carried a curse passed down from generation to generation. Still, it had a very severe effect on the female offspring. Ella, Gabriella Celestine is the ninth female descendant since the first Celestine Family was founded. Do you know why girls born into the Celestine Family are not allowed to marry or have children for the rest of their lives, Ely?' Nell raised her head and looked into Elysia's eyes.
'Because of the curse? What kind of curse? I might be able to help if you will.' Elysia looked at Nell's incredible blue eyes. She offered to help sincerely.
'Yeah... Ely, I honestly don't want to raise angels anymore. However, Ella would instantly go crazy if I told her that. The eight girls before her became high-tier priests who prayed to me almost all the time. I was still in my deep slumber at that time, but this is different because Ella has met me now. Ely, when the time comes, I want you to help her.' Nell smiled faintly and looked at Ella.
Elysia discovers there is more than a mysterious story related to the Celestine Family's curse. Yet, she couldn't find any curse on Ella's entire being. So, where is the subject Nell is talking about?
Elena and Elysia wondered in their minds. Even so, Elysia could only respond to Nell with an agreement. 'Mm, I'll help with what I can. Not just Ella, but everyone too, including you. Please let me know if you wish for it.'
'Yeah, I might need your help too, but not anytime soon.' Nell heaved a subtle sigh and closed her eyes with a relieved smile.
"Very well, let's get back to the game. I almost forgot to count the scores." Nell took her scoreboard and recounted the scores of each participant in the game.
The beasts finally became aware of the presence of a third party on the battlefield. They didn't seem happy about the third party at all. Moreover, the arrival of several beastkins left them wide-eyed in shock but also annoyed and resentful at the same time.
"Get out of my path, you donkey head! I am a black dragon leading the game!" Sylvia eradicated the giant maggots around her with thousands of slashes. Her attack crushed the giant maggots to a pulp, but the shockwave sent several beasts flying into the air.
