Elysia took Jimmy's grave in its entirety and put it in her spare Space Bag, the one Sylvia had given her. No one needed to dig or lift Jimmy's body out of the grave. She did all of that with her imagination magic that worked like telekineses.
"Shall we go now?" Elena looked up at the afternoon sky, which was starting to turn orange.
"En, we need to leave immediately." Elysia approached Rhea and carried Rhea back in her arms.
Nell and Jimmy immediately went up without waiting for anything else. Meanwhile, Vanessa shrunk her body size to a tenth before sitting on the magic carpet. Now, Vanessa and Jimmy were similar in size.
Elysia felt that someone was missing, and sure enough, the brown tortoise was still engrossed in eating. "Gio, what are you doing there? We're leaving. Stop eating grass and hurry up."
Gio realized his master gave an inviting gesture that was easy to understand. So, was it time for them to leave? Without needing to question anything, Gio ran toward the magic carpet and joined the group.
"Wow, so you can run that fast, tortoise brother. I can see your great talent with just a glance. What kind of tortoise are you? Are you my big sister minion? Oops, you don't have a shell? Tortoises nowadays don't carry their shells anywhere anymore?" Jimmy patted the tortoise on the back and realized the uniqueness of this little beast.
"Jimmy, please be polite. He is Gio, a Beast Emperor from the ancient era. For some reason, he can only understand body language and simple beast language." Vanessa reminded her brother because she was worried that he would irritate Gio.
"Oops, I mean, you're pretty cool to look at closely. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Gio." Jimmy retracted his paw from the tortoise. This harmless little beast was a Beast Emperor? Although a bit hesitant, he didn't dare to test his luck.
"Rarr..." Gio gave a flat reply because he didn't understand or instead didn't care. He just lay there with a bit of anticipation because his senior had already informed him that they would punish the sinners for revenge.
"Okay, everyone's on the boat. We're leaving now!" Nell announced their departure and then patted her magic carpet.
As the magic carpet flew into the sky, Elena returned to the Soul Realm. She just disappeared in front of everyone without worrying about anything.
A little black tiger was amazed because it was just a poof and someone disappeared from his sight.
Vanessa looked back once more to stare at the Tiger Paw Forest before the magic carpet shot toward the setting sun.
It was already dusk by the time they arrived near Brisline Woodland in the Glaidan Region. They hovered two kilometers in the sky, staring at the distance.
A forest city with many tall trees could be seen before the eyes of Elysia and her group. There were only two things that distinguished the cities of the Beast Continent from the Elven or Fairy Continent.
The cities on the Beast Continent had a much larger size and were more inclined to a wilderness than a city. There were not many buildings visible within the city's giant walls.
"Hum-hum, as expected, this one is also protected by protective barriers. At about five times the size of the capital city on the Human Continent, the Beast Race is quite fond of the big ones, aren't they?" Nell briefly analyzed what she observed.
"Of course, if you look at the size of the Beast Race in comparison to your tiny body size, then the Beast Race is either titan or giant creatures in your eyes. There are several great clans and over five thousand great beasts living there. It's obvious they need extra moving space." Jimmy puffed out his chest. He was proud enough to give a little introduction about his homeland.
"Whoaa, why do I feel you are making fun of me, you cheeky tiger." Nell expressed her complaint.
"Hush-hush, really wrong assumption. It is bad for your divinity to assume badly of my good intentions, and again, the word begins with 'ass' instead of any other word." Jimmy closed his eyes while wagging his finger.
"What did you just say?" Nell got a little annoyed with this babbler little tiger.
Then, it became like a chatterbox versus a babbler... So many words came out that it became a bit noisy. Fortunately, all of them were enveloped by Elysia's particular invisible barrier.
As Nell and Jimmy exchanged words like a bit of bickering between two kids, Elena ignored them. She checked the dome barriers protecting the forest city down there. 'Ely, do you want me to take care of matters here? You also need to use my form as the Goddess of Light. We might be seen as the villain who barges in forcefully and suppresses the weak ones.'
'If you permit, may I handle this matter, Sister Elena? Even though I'm a girl now, I used to be a guy. Let me take responsibility and help our Vann through this period.' Elysia politely declined the suggestion. She had other ideas and intentions in mind.
'If you say so, then fine, Ely. I will help you if necessary. Hehe, my Ely will be playing a villain now. Do I need to explain our plan one more time just to be sure?' Elena didn't mind at all. She was actually happy because her little sister didn't always act as a hero to save the day.
'Yes, please.' Elysia didn't refuse.
While Elysia and Elena had a discussion in their mind, Elysia also transformed into Elena's form, the Goddess of Light clad in a simple yet elegant white gold dress.
"Eh?" Jimmy immediately fell silent and stared in amazement to see the Glorious Goddess's transformation.
"Now it's time for us to go into action, Vann. Aria, Helen, please wait for us here with Gio and Jimmy, okay? Vann and I will take care of stage one and maybe stage two of the plan as well." Elysia put Rhea next to Nell, then extended her hand toward Vanessa for a cue.
"Yes, master." Vanessa approached her master, but she paused to warn her brother once more before leaving. "Jimmy, please be a good tiger and wait here."
"Roger, boss! I won't spoil this revenge plan." Jimmy saluted with one hand on his forehead.
"I'm not you, boss... But, good, I want you to keep your word." Vanessa nodded with a subtle smile. Then, she approached her master.
"Please be careful. We will be a backup force and a surprise if something unexpected happens or things get out of control." Rhea clasped her hands in prayer as she looked up at Elysia. For some reason, she could already tell that it was Elysia in Elena's form.
"Mm, I'll be careful." After saying that, Elysia created three pairs of angel wings on her back. Then, she flew away, and Vanessa followed right behind.
'Vann, we are still under my invisible magic. Can you use your transformation skill and return to your greatest form? We'll start from here.' Elysia stopped near the city's protective barrier, and so did Vanessa.
'Give me a few seconds, master.' Vanessa immediately transformed her body size into her most superb form without lingering any further. Finished with that, she gave her master a nod of confirmation.
'Well then, now everything is ready. Strike down this layered barrier Ely! Make the whole city aware of our arrival without goodwill. Erm, don't forget for a grand entrance too, okay?' Elena cheered for a commotion.
Elysia only gave a silent approval. She could fix this layered barrier later when everything was finished. Thus, she did not hesitate to destroy the significant protector of this forest city.
Elysia revoked her invisible magic for herself and Vanessa only. Then, she raised her hand upward and made the sky lit up with golden light as if to signal an omen to all the beasts below her.
'Okay, I can see the fire lions according to Vann's description inside the giant palace. Shall we begin, Sister Elena?' Elysia checked into the giant palace in the middle of the city with her sacred vision just to be sure.
'Kaboom, Ely!' Elena gave a thumbs up with a supportive expression.
At the same time, Elysia clenched her fists against the barrier. She immediately obliterated all the constituent elements to destruction and nothingness.
*Crack* *Shatter*
The city's layered barrier cracked instantly and spread out entirely in just two seconds. It crumbled like shattered glass, and it then turned into energy particles.
"Ernest, the patriarch of the Progressive Lion Clan and the current Emperor of the Glaidan Region. Get out of that palace and come to meet me right here, now!" Elysia exclaimed in a mixed tone of wrath. Her voice was amplified with her magic so that all the beasts in the city could hear her.
After the sudden golden sky phenomenon, the arrival of the figure of a six-winged angel with a golden energy aura caused the entire citizen to panic. They became worried even more. All the beasts questioned what their current Emperor had just done to anger a divine being.
All of them looked up, and they felt both complicated and chaotic when they realized a winged tiger was next to the divine being. The Winged Tiger Clan already had a divine being as their backing!?
At that moment, there was no one denying that this incident would end up being a huge battle. A battle between two great clans? Moreover, two divine beings would be involved in it, remembering the tragedy of eleven years ago.
