There was a wave of trembling that jolted everyone awake after they all heard Eli declare these words.
While she was saying these prayers, the pattern on her hand effectively stopped the spirit fragment into place. It was as if the spirit fragment had no power against her seemingly weak hand.
Without her knowing, everyone around her was already conscious when she was already reciting her prayers in an awe striking way.
Boom!
A strong yet gentle wave of air and bright golden light came out of Eli's body after she finished uttering her prayers.
Leon and General Farauld, who were the people nearest her, were pushed further to the walls of the interrogation room and almost became blinded by the strong light that assaulted their vision!
While everyone cannot see through the bright light, they could now hear the devilish voice screaming in despair and anger. They could even hear the voice gnashing its 'teeth' in extreme wrath while suffering from the effects of Eli's prayer.
"Just you wait! Old man!! I'll get your children all of them!!! ALL of THEM!!" It declared with his last attempt to resist the power of the heavens.
Eli could see that the spirit fragment was slowly being melted away by the Great One's power on the palm of her hand.
Her entire body was covered in bright golden light. It was so bright that it even canceled out the blackness of her hair!
She could feel an overwhelming power channeling through her body - a power she knew that did not come from her, but from the Great One.
With her conversation with Wisey, her heart was now on the right track.
Nothing of this came from her at all, it was freely given by her Father, the Great One. She should not cultivate the wrong attitude and thinking towards this power that she could not even fully control.
Finally, the last wisp of the fragmented spirit had already been wiped out by the holy power. The breeze immediately slowed down and the light had also faded.
The only thing that remained were the debris from all the mess created by the mysterious power that Eli displayed, as well as the investigators' shocked expressions.
As the surroundings became clearer and calmer, Eli saw Wisey's spirit figure which was already so faint that she could no longer maintain her owl image.
In a blink of an eye, Wisey immediately shrunk in a small ball of light and rested on Eli's palm.
"I'm going to sleep first." Her weakened voice rang while her spectral figure was absorbed inside Eli's body.
Eli immediately teared up as she realized what Wisey did for her.
As her contracted spirit, Wisey acted more like a bystander and freeloader while Baobao did most of the work in guarding and assisting Eli in her daily life. But only now did Eli realize how important she was in her life.
Wisey was her first companion in this world.
She had been with her and Little Han from the first day she arrived in Prasinos. Now, she was so weak that she couldn't even hold one more sentence to tell her that she did a good job in defeating the enemy.
With her trembling voice and hot tears dripping to her empty palm, Eli answered while bringing her hand near her heart, "Uhmm rest well Wisey, come back soon…"
She did not know how Wisey planned to recuperate. A deep sense of regret came to her the more she realized that she did not really exert an effort to know more about her, as her contracted spirit and as a companion.
She promised to herself that after all these things, she would cherish Wisey and Baobao more.
Knowing that she couldn't do anything for Wisey now, Eli immediately adjusted her mood and faced the rest of the people in the dungeon.
There was an awkward and unbreakable silence among the people in the room, the father and son, as well as the temple knight duo were still in a daze when they realized what Eli did in their presence.
Leon immediately checked Eli's body which was still wounded by the shards of glass. "Eli, are you alright? Let me see your injuries? Kay- Einz, please take a look at Eli's wounds!"
He frantically checked Eli's wounds as he held her hands with great care. His deep worry almost let him spill Kayden's true identity in the height of his emotions.
"I-im fine, Leon.." Eli answered meekly as she held back her emotions again.
She could feel Leon's hand trembling as he held her. His eyes contained an inexplicable fear for the fact that she could have perished a few seconds ago. No matter how good he was in making his expression calm, Eli could still see the traces of emotions in Leon's face.
Kayden was also helpless in the matter, although he was surprised about Eli's power, he was already immune to the supernatural things happening around her. He could only sigh and shake his head while following Leon's suit to check her condition. Besides, he was curious as to the state of her body after using divine powers.
While they were checking Eli's wounds, the door to the dungeon suddenly opened and they saw the High Priest rushing in.
His ancient eyes swept through the messy interrogation room and stopped at Eli.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he moved towards Eli while saying under his breath, "It seems like you have already revealed yourself to the crowd then, Subject of the Oracle?"
"I…" Eli wanted to say that she didn't mean it. However, the situation really called for it.
"It's fine.. You would have revealed yourself to them later on.." The High Priest patted her down cast head and gestured to Kayden to continue tending her wounds.
As the one with the highest authority in the room, he was the one who took the responsibility to explain Eli's identity to the rest while Leon and Kayden checked on Eli without surprise in their hearts.
There was no convincing needed for the Faraulds and Temple knights because they saw with their own eyes how Eli destroyed the malevolent creature with the holy power.
If any, they were really shocked that the Subject of Oracle has been interacting with them closely ever since they started to investigate.
They didn't know how to feel, are they excited or happy? Do they feel fear and reverence? Nevertheless one thing is for sure, this matter left them utterly speechless!

As the matters inside the dungeon happened, commotions also ensued outside.
In the Farauld estate, everyone became anxious as Little Han suddenly cried without restraint.
"Waaaaaah!! Waaaaah!!! Sisi! Sisi!!!" Little Han wailed loudly.
"Aiyooo, Little Han, what's the matter? Hush.. my love… please.." Aquila and the elders frantically scrambled to comfort and stop him from crying.
But Little Han seemed to have fallen into great sadness because his cries would even make the elders feel heartbroken and teary eyed.
"Ahhh..Sisi.. Sisi…" Little Han bawled harder as Wisey's presence seemed to have disappeared.

On the farlands, hundreds of miles away from the Seirende Empire,
There was an extravagant stone castle filled with the fanciest things that Prasinons never saw in their lives. But contrary to the elegant surroundings, the atmosphere of the castle was desolate and dark.
A devilishly beautiful man was lying leisurely on a seemingly majestic throne. His long silky hair was draping like a purple river wine, it was the deepest purple that exists in the world. It's purpleness was so deep that it was almost black.
His blood red eyes looked with satisfaction as he admired the gold and precious stones in his hand.
"Ughhh!" His lazy and blissful face was suddenly colored with dark purple blood. His mood dropped to the lowest and his face was now filled with wrath and annoyance.
"Curses!!!! That old man in his high throne has started something silly again!" He bellowed as he threw the jewelries with disdain.
"Tsk!!! That spirit fragment was wasted, it didn't even manage to accumulate enough essence to sustain and eventually revealed itself openly!"
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the image that was immediately transferred to his mind, it was an image of a woman filled with bright light. He scrunched his brows as he was not able to distinguish any noticeable feature because her entire body was filled with holy light.
The only thing that burned in his mind was the pattern that was printed on her hand. He knew this very well.
Because that pattern contained the heavenly writings he used to see in the heavenly realm.
