Crack

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of glass cracking into several pieces resounded in the world of the underground city, and Syrelle's eyes flashed with confusion at first until it became realization.

Her head snapped in the direction of the battered bodies of Corey and Pamela, and her left eye twitched when she saw their bodies transforming into butterflies.

She shifted her gaze to Rhea, Kiefer, Selene, and Willow, and a deep frown emerged on her face when she saw that their bodies were also transforming into butterflies.

She exhaled softly, and then she turned toward Ecles who was standing a few meters away from her.

Without saying a single word, she looked u. And although in the eyes of a mortal, they would not see anything, her pupils reflected the image of Corey, Pamela, Ecles, Kiefer, Selene, Willow, and Rhea who was perched on top of Kiefer's hand with a solemn expression. They were all standing on a hexagon platform made out of tiny hexagon barriers, and their gazes were all on the Immortal Silver Elf.

"This has to be the most profound illusion I've ever faced in my life." She tilted her head slightly with a frown of confusion. "And you're just a Tier 3 for that matter."

As she spoke, the world transformed into butterflies mixed with fog, and Syrelle looked around.

She could see the damage her attack with her spear had done to the surroundings, and how it nearly split the entire ground till the land of New Earth could be seen.

So, she knew that she had unleashed an attack, but not on real people.

'Who is he?'

Syrelle shifted her gaze to Corey who wiped away the blood from his eyes, and she noticed that his eyes were exceedingly dim. Almost like he was about to become a blind man.

'His eyes are the source of his illusion powers?'

Her eyes flashed with a pondering and curious light, and then she looked at Ecles who had a relieved but shaken expression.

Despite her to do nothing more than to kill Corey and every other person that was around her younger sister in the air, she knew that she had to be careful.

A Tier 3 being able to successfully trick her, a Tier 7, with an illusion was not normal and should not be possible. But it happened, and it was completely embarrassing to her.

However, she knew that she had to calm her rage and think about what to do calmly since she could not take anybody in the group for granted.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The winds to her right and left were disturbed, and without bothering to look at the source of the disturbance, she already knew the two individuals that had appeared beside her.

Olythia and Thalor

"Syrelle?"

Olythia raised her brows in confusion when she saw the destruction around them but no bodies was around them.

She noticed the direction of Syrelle's gaze, and when she looked up, her eyes flickered with relief when she saw Ecles, but confusion later filled her eyes when she noticed the Tiers of the others.

'Astral Beings and Low Level Mystic Beings? Did Big Sis really unleash that much power just for these ants? And why hasn't she tried to take Ecles from them?'

'What's going on?'

She had felt the fury and power Syrelle had unleashed a while back, and she had been truly afraid that they were facing an extremely powerful Immortal or multiple Immortals.

If they were, the situation would have become extremely grave, and the chances of their city becoming one of the ruins around them would be extremely high.

But for it to not even be an Immortal or a peak Mystic Being for that matter, but Tier 4s, Tier 3s, and a Tier 2?

Mere Mortals?

It was truly absurd and incomprehensible to her.

"Big Sis Syrelle. Big Sis Olythia. And big brother Thalor. I missed all of you."

Ecles' voice suddenly diffused the tense situation, and the expressions of Syrelle, Olythia, and Thalor changed.

Ecles took a step forward with a worried expression.

"Ecles. Are you alright? Did they hurt you? Tell me if they did. Don't be afraid. They won't dare harm you while I'm here."

Ecles quickly shook her head while wiping away the tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes.

"They didn't. They saved me."

Syrelle, Olythia, and Thalor frowned deeply with confused expressions.

"They saved you?" Syrelle asked while tilting her head slightly. "How did you end up with them?"

Ecles scratched the side of her head with a nervous expression, and she stuttered softly. "Huhhh... I-I- I ran after a beautiful blood red butterfly and I lost track of my surroundings. But it's not my fault! I swear! It's the butterfly's fault. It was too beautiful and cute. I've never seen a blood red butterfly like that before!"

The lips of everybody twitched, and Syrelle shook her head with a light smile.

Olythia took a step forward, and glanced at Pamela for a moment, before shifting her gaze to Corey, and then back to Ecles.

"We already know that. But how did you end up? And why did you say they saved you?"

"Oh" Ecles' face reddened slightly. "Well, I was poisoned by the people who captured me, and they saw me and healed me... And... they also killed the people that captured me."

Olythia frowned deeply when she heard Ecles' words. "Do you know the people that captured you?"

Ecles nodded her head. "Yes. The Freedom Fighters and some humans."

Olythia's eyes and that of Syrelle's widened in disbelief, confusion, and shock.

"The Freedom Fighters?" They exclaimed at the same time.

"But. But I thought it was only the humans that were involved. If the Freedom Fighters were also involved..."

Olythia looked down with a pondering expression, and Syrelle clenched her hand around her tightly.

A few seconds later, she looked at Ecles, and exhaled softly.

"We're just happy you're back. Can you come down now? Or is that going to be a problem?"

A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Corey, and Ecles shook her head.

"No. No. It's not going to be a problem. Uhm. It's just that third big sister here said that-"

"Third big sister?" Syrelle cut Ecles' off with her brows twitching.

Ecles nodded. "You're first big sister. Big Sis Olythia is second big sister. And Big Sis Pamela is third big sister."

She then pointed at Corey who had his eyes closed. "He's the bad and scary man."

Corey's lips twitched slightly.

Syrelle gave no reaction or words for a few seconds, and then she gave a little smile that seemed... harmless. But it was anything but harmless.

"What did your third big sister say?" She asked.

"Oh. She said that she and the others wants your word that they won't be harmed or killed? But I don't know why though."

Syrelle's smile became slightly wider and more harmless, and then she said. "Of course... not. They're all going to jail."
