Chapter 114: End in Peace

Elysia reached out her hands to catch a white cat that fell from the air. Vanessa was accidentally carried into the air.

Luckily for Sylvia, she immediately released her grip from her father's hand when he was just bounced against the wall near the ceiling. But, Vanessa was carried there, and she just released her bite from Dylan's arm while she was in the air.

Her master caught her in such a subtle manner to her great advantage, and the landing was a perfect success. As for Dylan, he fell on the floor. He really didn't expect this outcome. This little girl possessed tremendous magic power. She was able to ignore his body resistance as if it wasn't there!

"You little human girl, how dare you!" Dylan immediately stood up and was about to attack.

It was clear from the red-black aura around his body that suddenly appeared and was no longer suppressed. He had set up a particular barrier just for this, and he had to teach this human girl some lessons for peace of mind.

"Stay there! Do you think I'll take the attack without self-defense?" Elysia used her magic to suppress Dylan with massive gravity and knocked him back onto the floor.

She immediately approached the exit and put up a transparent energy barrier around her body just in case.

"Wait, Ais! Please don't attack my father for my sake. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. We also don't intend to hurt you, really. I invite you to become an adventurer, purely just because I want to adventure with you. Please forgive my father." Sylvia immediately stood up and came between her father and her friend. She spread her arms wide as if she were protecting her father.

"Huff... First, you came to the lake openly without caring for the world. Your magic aura was clearly visible when you just landed before you disguised yourself. After that, you attacked me, the innocent girl? If it was someone else who was attacked, she would be killed by your father's attack, Lys. And now, I was attacked a second time? What have I done to receive this treatment?"

Elysia sighed and then shook her head slightly, but her gaze was right into Sylvia's eyes. She delivered her grievances sprinkled with facts and seasonings. Her mind was still evident at this point, but she felt cold, and her body temperature began to slowly drop.

Vanessa did not understand what was happening to her master's body, which felt cold, unlike her warm and comfortable self. Even so, she remained silent in her master's embrace while observing the two people in front of her. This girl named Lys seemed promising, but Lys's father was very mean and rude.

"I... I apologize on behalf of my father. Ais, if there is anything I can do to make peace, please say." Sylvia lowered her head slightly. She didn't dare look her friend in the eye.

She could not deny what had happened and what had been done by her father, who had attacked Ais twice without thinking more to individuals other than himself.

"Then, it's your father's role to apologize to me." Elysia spoke in a tone that had begun to soften.

However, at the same time, Dylan was finally able to support himself with his magic. He resisted the force of gravity pressing on his body.

"Who exactly are you? You already know our identities from the start, and I was suspicious of that. You shifted the topic and directed everything so cleverly. Devils and Humans have always been enemies, and it's only natural for me to try to deal with you." Dylan returned to his feet, and his eyes turned crimson red.

"Father, please just shut up and let me take care of everything for now. You are really silly, stupid, and muscle brain! Stand in the corner of the room now!" Sylvia irritatedly pointed at one corner of the room.

Her father had pretty much ruined her plan. Even though Ais was quite mysterious and suspicious in many ways, it was not his duty to just judge Ais by force if that was considered.

Sylvia knew very well about her friend who didn't have bloodlust against her father. Even Ais was only defending herself and didn't really counterattack.

Not to mention, based on her hunch in their every conversation, Ais's aura never fluctuated about lies and only delivered genuine answers. She would just try to find out about her friend slowly and at that point. Once she was sure, she could confidently share her background.

"Don't be fooled by that human girl! She could have come with you on purpose so she could set a trap for us. You can see for yourself, she is about to leave and can't be under surveillance. Many things can happen at that time!" Dylan seemed unwilling to budge and raised his tone.

"Just stand, in the corner, now! Please be quiet for a moment. I know what I'm doing, father. I also know how I judge someone, why can't you trust me? Because of that, I know for all the people you place and organize for me, they are all facades and fakes! I don't want that!" Sylvia didn't back down, her uncharacteristic behavior that usually shrank when her father was angry.

It was rare for Dylan to see his daughter get mad at him so strongly and wouldn't back down one bit. Strangely enough, every time that happened, he would relent and follow his daughter's wishes in his own way.

He walked a little away and folded his hands with a serious face. He would just pay attention to where all this stuff was headed.

"Excessive nervousness and suspicion, huh? Everything I've done from the start of our encounter until now, and you can't judge my goals, can you?" Elysia somewhat understood. She slowly sat on the other bed, then continued her speech.

"I was just a little worried about two unusual devils running around undercover without knowing why they came. The race strife was so chaotic, and I didn't want to see it getting worse when I found out it was happening in front of me. I only know that there are five Devil Emperors on the Devil Continent and six Human Emperors on the Human Continent. Still, one disappeared without any stories or news. Who knows about the unknown vanguard who will make things worse..."

After Elysia spoke at that point, things immediately became awkward. Especially to Sylvia and Dylan, who didn't know what to say. They had their own concerns, and she also had her own worries.

"So, Ais. Don't you feel like I'm an evil creature? You know, I'm a Devil, then why are you so familiar with me? I thought you really didn't know. I slowly tried to figure out your mysterious identity before I could tell you about myself when I was sure." After a while, Sylvia opened her mouth about a topic that made her nervous.

"What's the difference between a devil and a human? They are the same creatures who struggle in this world with their own goals. I'm fine talking to you even though I know you are a devil, Lys. Don't you also have a great time exchanging stories with a human? What is good and bad? What are virtues and sins? It comes to individuals and not to their race. I decide for myself and not history or others who will determine my decision."

Elysia smiled gently at Sylvia and tried to brighten their mindset. Especially for the stubborn man who relied on his brain muscles for action. Perhaps if the few people in power understood, this bitter enemy's racial strife would be less virulent.

The words from her friend made Sylvia think twice, thrice, and so on about her mindset. After thinking about it repeatedly, she also didn't know why these two races hated each other so much. She only knew from her father's story, and the story from the book he gave, about it, and she believed it.

Sylvia thought Ais wasn't really a human, and Ais was another race that was undercover in the Human Continent, just like them, but it was proven wrong.

Was that the truth, there were only four Devil Emperors apart from her father in the Demon Continent? There were only six Human Emperors on the Human Continent? Then, how about Ais? That was all they knew, and the world was too big to tell. Sylvia questioned that in her mind.

Ais was probably the Human Emperor as a peacekeeper disguised herself from the world, and she was in the shadows. She wasn't in any news or stories, no information about a female Human Emperor in the past several thousand years!

"Hm, it's late. It's time for me to go somewhere. Thanks for this Swype, Lys. I'll keep in touch with you and will come tomorrow after midday. I will keep your secrets and not cause anything unnecessary as long as you two are good devils. I'll be there and try to stop you if I think that's necessary too. Good night and see you tomorrow." Elysia immediately got up and waved her hand once before going to the door.

"En, good night, and thanks to you too, for the many things that are difficult for me to say, Ais." Sylvia nodded and smiled back at her friend.

Her friend was the nameless Human Emperor! No wonder Ais could beat her father. The world was so vast, and not all of it was known by written history, Ais became clear evidence that it was true. Amazingly, she was very kind and not vindictive. She was so likable despite having great strength.

"Um, Mr. Nalyd, can you please remove this special barrier?"

"Hmph." Dylan just snorted, but he revoked his particular magic barrier and let the human girl left the room. He would also talk to his daughter as soon as possible. There shouldn't be any third party among them.

Elysia left while hugging Vanessa without looking back. She had to get back to the academy before Evelyn woke up and realized she wasn't there.
