Chapter 230: By my Power, You shall Perish!

Although any magic would weaken in close contact due to the accursed monster's unique trait, the destructive power of Elysia's physical attacks was still formidable.

Elysia took some distance from the monster that should have died. The monster's health point was zero, and its body also fell to the ground helplessly.

'Haah, finally... Huh?' Elysia was slightly breathless and was suddenly shocked as a slight pain ran through her body.

She examined her body and started to turn pale. She was scuffed and bleeding all over her body... As if she had been grazed by a sharp and thin weapon.

'I, I got hurt, but when? I don't remember receiving any injuries during the earlier battle.' Elysia muttered in utter confusion.

'Yes, you did not receive any wounds from that battle. Your wounds came because you raised your body's base strength beyond the limit. I'm helping to speed up your body's regeneration so that everything will be fine once you realize it. Reinforcement Magic is quite risky if your body is not strong enough to receive that much.' Elena let out a sigh of relief as all the wounds on her sweet little sister's body fully healed.

'So that's why you stopped talking when that monster went berserk, Sister Elena?' Elysia gulped her saliva and nodded in understanding. That Reinforcement Magic was quite dangerous for her, apparently...

'Of course, I am fully concentrated on that, and I thought you would be fine with that battle without my help. You're already skilled at magic with a superb fighting style, Ely. I'm proud and happy.' Elena wiped her non-existence tears. She felt like a mother who had raised her daughter to be a wonderful girl.

'En, I'm happy too. My training to hone my skills in fighting has paid off. Although mostly thanks for my advanced perception.' Elysia sucked in the air and exhaled with a smile. She turned to see Vanessa still flying around to lure monsters' hordes ranging from Intermediate level to Great Master.

'Very well, a curse, ahem blessing for you is coming. Prepare yourself~' Elena hummed to welcome another level up.

Elysia nodded and prepared for a mysterious energy purification. One minute had passed since the monster's fall, a curse came and attacked her body. It started from around her middle dantian, an unexpected location.

Elysia and Elena were engrossed in the purification of the curse energy. They were caught off guard within those seconds. The monster's lifeless body let out a purplish-black miasma, expanded, and suddenly exploded.

The corpse explosion caused a significant area of effect damage.

Elysia was ten meters away from the center of the explosion, still defenseless and vulnerable. No one thought that those seconds would be so fatal for Elysia.

It had never happened to any previous battles. When Elysia and Elena realized that, the impact of the explosion was already widespread.

"Aah!" Elysia was blown away by the blast. She smashed into the trunk of a large tree twenty meters away helplessly and fell to the ground painfully.

Her whole body was covered in wounds, then red blood flowed from her head. Her vision became a blurry reddish as her blood obscured it.

'Ely, Ely! Are you all right? Please answer me. Ely, Ely!' Elena immediately performed emergency healing on the body that was severely damaged, despite her panic. Elysia's self-healing ability was not fast enough to fully regenerate damaged cells instantly.

The purification of the curse energy had just finished, and that was all they got. The one minute delay not only sent out curse energy but also an explosion as a bonus.

Unfortunately, Elysia couldn't answer Elena's panicked voice. Her body received severe injuries and heavy trauma, even the sounds that came from her mind couldn't be processed for a while.

Elysia was still conscious and knew she was severely injured, but she could do nothing but look at her own blood. She was sure she had seen her HP drop to 0 just before it went up. Or, did she see it wrong?

Blood, wounded, and helpless... These reminded her of the incident that happened to young Ali, the significant dark memory she could remember.

At that time, young Ali was beaten up by some delinquent students because of a problem he did not understand. What was the issue at that time? Was it because of jealousy over a girl? Or for some other reason... The details were forgotten.

At that time, young Ali fought back all the delinquent students without caring about anything like being possessed.

"Bleargh." Elysia vomited a mouthful of blood.

'Ely, Ely, hang on! I'm doing my best, don't die, or I'll go with you...' Elena was still trying vigorously to heal the affected internal organs. Notwithstanding, the guardian angel's voice did not reach Elysia's consciousness.

'Sister Elena, are you there? Sigh... Am I going to die? Then, what about Sister Elena and Vanessa? They will come to the afterlife with me... No, I can speak in mind then I'm still alive. But, where is Sister Elena? Was the blow so strong that it brok-' Elysia murmured about her state and slowly glanced at the Heavenly Winged Tiger in the sky.

Her vision was blurry and reddish, but she could see Vanessa was there. The tiger was approaching urgently, knowing that Elysia was severely injured.

Then, a shadow jumped into the sky. It shot high and fast towards Vanessa, who was flying at a relatively low altitude.

'No! Vanessa, dodge, evade!' Elysia screamed in her mind, wishing it was conveyed to her contracted beast.

It was useless. Vanessa was aware of the danger from the side because of her instinct. Still, her dexterity and speed could not keep up with the Spirit Accursed Monster, which suddenly attacked from the ground.

*Bam!*

Vanessa was knocked down with a single blow from the Spirit Ruvoid. She fell to the ground, where the hordes of monsters were anticipating some food.

'Noo! Vanessa is in grave danger. Those accursed monsters are starving... Connect to the Soul Realm, let's move, whatever it is!' Elysia shouted in her mind. But no one could hear her anguish.

From the explosion earlier to this paralyzed state, it only lasted tens of seconds. Yet, things got worst so fast. Elysia hated tragedy, and she didn't want to lose Vanessa because that adorable cat had entered her life and heart.

Elysia did whatever she could and tried just to move. As if something had snapped her mind, her primary focus became only one... Save Vanessa by eradicating all these monsters.

They were sealed accursed monsters, so why did they break loose? Shouldn't they just die instead of causing disaster and sorrow? 'Yeah, kill, kill! Eradicate the accursed!' Elysia declared in her mind, following the reasons that prompted her to move.

She was almost fully healed and should be back to normal, all thanks to Elena's efforts to speed things up. Unfortunately, Elysia fell into an unknown state.

'Ely, can you hear me? Uhh, what happened... Why did things turn out this way? We'd better just run away from here, from the start...' Elena once again failed to connect her connection to Elysia's conscious mind. She murmured like she was about to cry.

Elysia stood a little unsteadily. Her eyes that were red with blood, had now turned bright red for some reason. She didn't wait any longer and took Celestia from her Space Storage.

It was the highest weapon, but she hadn't used it because she was afraid that the level 65 odachi would be destroyed like any other weapon. However, she didn't think of it at all in that unknown state.

As if she knew where Vanessa was, Elysia freed the jet black odachi from its sheath, then sped off at full speed.

It only took one touch from the odachi. All the trees, rocks, and monsters she passed were split in two. Elysia hadn't moved the odachi to attack. It was just the pure sharpness of the weapon without any magic.

"Grrr!" Vanessa growled at the monster in front of her.

She was both anxious and nervous. Her master needed help to escape, but this monster kept her here. Even though they were of the same rank, Vanessa knew she was no more potent than a creature with a dark blue aura and purplish-black miasma before her.

She was also injured because of the earlier impact, fell from the sky, and fought hopelessly on land. One of her wings was broken, and her leg's bone was fractured, making it difficult for her to escape. Apart from that, her magic had no impact on her enemies. Only her claws and fangs were her weapons.

The tiger was surrounded by monsters, but she just wanted to go to her master as soon as possible.

"By my power, you shall perish!"

A battle cry rang clearly from the right. It was followed by a fierce slash swing, which split through dozens of monsters and the surroundings. The devastating force from the odachi's slash still cut everything several hundred meters away.

"Ma- Master?" Vanessa called out doubtfully. It was her master, but there was something strange about her master.

Her master was covered in red blood, but her master's eyes were also bright red... Like the Devil Emperor back then. What happened?
