"Eh?" Shelly and Shiny were stunned to hear that answer. Would the world get even more chaotic? What would possibly happen in the near future?
"Umm, forgive me for my impudence. However, I don't understand what you mean. You're not the Goddess of Life? Then, what might happen soon?" Shelly gulped her saliva and ventured to ask.
"The two Fairy Empresses and three Fairy Emperors, the rulers of this continent will soon explain that to the masses. We have just come from Zhadphis Woodland. You will know when the time comes." Rhea had no intention of going into detail. Soon, these two fairies will also know about it from their sovereign.
At that moment, Elena had just finished blowing off some steam, and the noise down there also stopped. Rhea also immediately received a telepathic signal to help seal Gioragh's movements.
"Mm, that's all from me. I need to help the Goddess of Light deal with the earth dragon down there." Rhea excused herself and gave her little sister a look, then she immediately flew down.
'Master Elena, did your method produce the desired result?' Rhea floated right beside Elena. She looked at the overturned colossal earth dragon. Gioragh didn't move as if he was playing dead, but some small movements and twitches could be seen if eyes were keen enough.
'I don't know, I just beat him with magic until he forgot who he was and where he was. While he's still in a mess, you can help me seal that big boy movement, just in case. Ely and I will exterminate all that evil black curse energy from this stupid earth dragon's massive body.' Elena folded her arms under her breasts as she heaved a huff.
In the last eight or so minutes, all she had done was inflict brute force using magics on this earth dragon that possessed great defense and endurance.
She only stopped when this earth dragon's HP was reduced by 50% from the first value because she was afraid of accidentally killing this big poor creature.
'En, I'm ready to do it. Give me ten seconds.' Rhea extended her hand forward. A golden magic circle with countless complicated runes appeared there.
The moment the magic circle turned mint green, thousands of thick golden and green roots appeared all over the area around the earth dragon to entangle the colossal creature.
Not done with that, Rhea stretched out her other hand for different magic. This time, a huge mint magic circle appeared right under the earth dragon. Now, Gioragh couldn't move at all, even if it was only an inch.
'Everything is ready, Master Elena. Henceforth, please exterminate the cursed energy in Gioragh's body. He was a good Emperor Beast by nature, please save him.' Rhea smiled with conviction. She knew her almighty masters were able to help Gioragh.
'Well, keep holding your magic like that. Ely and I will take care of the rest. Let's see what will happen to this big boy once he is free from the contamination of the cursed energy.' Elena flew towards the earth dragon while answering. Rhea just nodded in response.
Elena floated a few centimeters above the earth dragon's body. She made a golden foothold for her to stand in the air. 'Ely, looks like we have a lot of work to do before dinner time comes. This big boy's body is so big and so is the area of contamination. Look at all these black body parts.'
'I think we can get to work quickly, Sister Elena. After all, this earth dragon's body is much simpler than Rhea's divine body. Besides, we only need to take care of the external curse energy, not the internal one. Nor do we need to restore damaged limbs. Let's get to work! Huff...' Elysia pumped her hands. She wanted to quickly finish this and go for dinner at the Elven Continent as planned.
'Well then, you say that with an innocent face, Ely? After you explored every corner of Rhea's body? Then, what about me? Is my body also divine?' Elena started working to burn off all the cursed energy in the earth dragon's massive body. Still, it wouldn't be complete if she didn't tease Elysia when the opportunity came.
'Wha-' Elysia blushed a little in the Soul Realm. They were working, but Elena still had time to tease her? 'But, but, I didn't do anything... Come on, let's finish this first.'
'Is that? All right, we'll continue later.' Elena just complied, but that didn't mean she wouldn't forget this conversation. She would raise this topic again later.
For the next ten minutes, Elena and Elysia burned away all the cursed energy that had contaminated more than half of Gioragh's rock-hard body. That colossal earth dragon needed to be flipped once to settle everything.
In the end, the blackish-brown earth dragon was now only a brown color variation.
By the time it was all over, Gioragh was just lying on his stomach. He wagged his long rock-hard tail left and right while looking at the small golden creature several hundred meters in front of him. "Grrr..."
He didn't remember anything, but he did remember that he was easily defeated by that superior being. His opponent was so small, but the strength in that small body was simply too enormous. Even with his colossal body and immense strength, he was still nothing in front of that golden aura superior being.
'Err, did we turn him into a tame animal instead? Why is he wagging his tail on the ground like that?' Elysia scratched her head. She absolutely had no idea what they had caused to that Emperor-level earth dragon.
'Umm, at least, he behaved well now? Look, he's even just acting like a dog. He already knows his place and who the boss is. So, he will not go berserk and cause damage everywhere.' Elena didn't understand either. She couldn't see any sign of intelligent behavior.
'Did we fail? Gio, Gioragh still can't regain his wits even though there's no more curse energy?' Elysia had the same opinion, but that didn't explain anything either.
'Let's test that first. Oh, let's ask the one who knows more about that big boy first.' Elena decided on the best solution, and she turned to the nearby mint green fairy. "We've done our best. How can we test whether he has regained his intellect or not?"
"Ehm, he's now acting like an ordinary beast that just lost a fight against a superior being. However, let me try to check it out." Rhea was confused too, but she decided to approach Gioragh.
"Let's get closer." Elena followed Rhea to fly closer to the colossal earth dragon.
When they reached about twenty meters from Gioragh's head, Rhea put her hand on her upper chest then opened her mouth to confirm the situation. "Gioragh, can you say something, anything? Do you remember me? You used to call me Mint Fairy."
"Growl?" Gioragh answered in a language neither Rhea nor anyone could understand.
After that, Rhea tried a few times again, but she didn't get any response other than a few small roars, rawrs, and other unknown animal languages. Gioragh even yawned as if he was sleepy and bored. Eventually, it was enough to make Rhea give up.
"I don't think it's working. But, Gioragh at least doesn't go berserk or attack anything he sees anymore. Thank you for saving him, Master Elena." Rhea muttered softly, almost like a whisper. She unconsciously loosened her shoulders as if she was a bit down.
"You don't need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." Elena smiled gently and stroked Rhea's head with her finger. Then, she sent telepathy to the winged white tiger up there. 'Vann, please come down here and help us.'
'I will arrive in no time, grandmaster.' Vanessa immediately fell free with a swooping style, then flapped her wings to go to her grandmaster side.
'At your service, grandmaster.' Vanessa glanced at the earth dragon briefly, then greeted her grandmaster.
'That's nice to hear. I'm a little surprised where you've learned it from, Vann.' Elena praised and stroked the good tiger.
'Hehe...' Vanessa certainly enjoyed that. She almost purred just because of that.
'Well, we're having a hard time understanding what this big boy is saying. He said nothing but animal language. Can you translate what he wants to say or what answer he will give? We want to know anything about him and his condition.' Elena retracted her hand from Vanessa's head.
'All right, grandmaster. Please wait a moment.' Vanessa nodded, then turned to the enormous earth dragon in front of her.
"Rawrr growl, rarr hraw?" Vanessa started the initial conversation.
"Grr, rrrr... Rawr, rawlr." Gioragh shifted his focus to the winged white tiger and responded.
The Spirit Beast then started a short chat with the Emperor Beast, who was a bit odd, to say the least. Vanessa began to dig up information from the enormous earth dragon at the behest of her grandmaster by introducing herself as a contracted beast.
Rhea turned to Elena. She had not thought of that brilliant idea before.
Unfortunately, Elena also turned to Rhea because she didn't understand what these two beasts were talking about. The others said that she was a Goddess, yet she couldn't understand this kind of rawr language. Elysia couldn't understand anything either. But they could understand foreign languages like Aefasy and Vrelenia ancient language, without any effort?
Elena and Rhea exchanged confused looks, then looked at the conversation between the two beasts. Both Elysia and Elena asked in wonder in their mind while waiting for Vanessa to report back.
