Chapter 332: Soul Curse

A mass of evil energy was buried deep within Rhea's soul wisp, draining the Life Energy bit by bit. The damage was too severe because it took too long to get the proper help it deserved.

Not to mention the damage that took place over half of Rhea's body. It was frozen in solid green crystals because the curse was too severe.

The semi-transparent green crystals also did a perfect job of keeping Rhea alive, even though Rhea was still slowly going towards the death door. Lifa indeed tried every possible thing to keep Rhea alive.

Elysia and Elena also could see that the green crystal was a collection of life energy that might have come from Lifa, the tree of life.

'Huff, the Goddess of Nature, would have died long ago if it weren't for the tree of life help. The Goddess of Life really did everything she could do to save her daughter, huh? She even sacrificed her Life Energy continuously for a hundred thousand years?' Elysia felt a little gloomy as she examined Rhea's soul.

'This Goddess of Nature is more like a six-winged elf. Maybe this Goddess is the tree of life's adopted child?' Elena was focused on another point as she compared Lifa and Rhea in mind.

'Ugh, let's get to work, Sister Elena. We need to deal with the one that's around the Goddess of Nature's soul wisp.' Elysia suggested fast action for first aid.

'En. Please be careful, Ely. I will be your assistant for this.' Elena fully understood it, but she didn't have the confidence to handle the curse energy residing in someone else's soul.

The risk was too high. A small mistake could cause the soul to vanish and disappear. Thus, Elena chose to leave it to the expert in accuracy and patience, namely Elysia.

Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then, she stretched out her hand and started working with her imagination magic. The curse energy lingering on Rhea's soul was the only thing she focused on.

'Little one, please protect us from any distraction. We are working to eliminate the curse energy that sticks to your big sister's soul. One mistake will be fatal to her.' Elena sent telepathy on Nell as she also started working to help Elysia.

'Sure, all right, leave it to me!' Nell pounded her upper chest with self-assurance.

However, she immediately became dumbfounded because she realized that Elysia was also working to help her big sister. A mortal who took part to heal a divine existence? What did Elena have in mind to ask Elysia for help with that soul aid operation?

Nell wondered in mind. But she was once again shocked when she realized Elena and Elysia's eyes were shining slightly. The magic fluctuation of this master and disciple slowly rose to an unusual height.

What Lifa said earlier rang in Nell's mind once again. Something about the tremendous power in Elysia's body. It seems this master and possessed far too many secrets. But, it made her happy for several inexplicable reasons.

The sun, which was on the east side, moved right to the upper side as time went on.

Elysia and Elena tried their best to destroy the sticky curse energy in Rhea's soul. It was very much like an annoying slime. Fiber by fiber and bit by bit, Elysia tore the curse energy from Rhea's soul with utmost care.

Simultaneously, Elena helped to burn the non-sticking curse strands from Rhea's soul.

Elena and Elysia didn't realize that they were using some potent magic that had already taken Nell and Lifa by surprise. However, the latter two have remained silent and are watching it with anticipation.

As the sun had shifted slightly to the west side, Elysia slumped down to sit with her legs folded to the side. "Ah, that's over."

Elysia lowered her head. She felt a little dizzy from working with complete focus while standing for five hours. She was also suffering from mental exhaustion.

Elena observed Rhea's soul for a moment to make sure it was free of the curse energy. After confirming once again that Rhea's Life Energy fluctuation had stabilized, she sat beside Elysia. She wiped the latter's sweat with a handkerchief. "Good job, Ely."

"En." Elysia looked up. She saw that Rhea's soul had stabilized with various beautiful colors like a ball of the green galaxy. Also, there was no curse energy around it anymore.

Elysia let out a sigh of relief. Task one was completed, and there were still a few more until the Goddess of Nature was utterly free of the curse. Nevertheless, the aura of death and the most deadly affliction to the Goddess of Nature's life was no longer there.

At that moment, no one noticed that the tree of life was trembling a little with gratitude and joy before going into a state of sleep. Lifa stopped to observe Elysia or Elena when she calmed down after knowing her daughter survived the most dangerous curse.

"Have you succeeded? Has the curse on my big sister been successfully removed?" Nell immediately flew closer and hovered around Elena and Elysia.

Vanessa also came closer, stroking her body to her master.

"Yea... At least, your big sister's life is no longer in fatal danger. Her life is no longer drained by the curse. But, it is not over because it is only one of all the curses that your big sister suffered, little one." Elena replied nonchalantly.

"I see... Nee, why is Elysia looking tired? What happened to her?" Nell let out a sigh of relief while stroking her upper chest. Then, her next concern fell on Elysia.

"It's because Ely is exhausted. Ely, take this and drink it." Elena reached into Elysia's Space Bag and grabbed a bottle of mineral water.

"En, thank you." Elysia extended her hand. But Elena opened the bottle first before Elysia accepted it.

When Elysia finished drinking the water, Nell opened and closed her mouth several times until she gave up her intention to ask about the event just now. She shook her head because she knew it was not her position to ask someone's secret. After all, she also had some secrets.

Meanwhile, Elysia gave Nell a quick glance. She had a hunch Nell had realized quite a bit about her imagination magic and her sacred vision.

After a lot of consideration and persuasion from Elena in the past, it was really best not to keep too many secrets to ally, especially those with good qualities. However, since no questions had come up, so be it.

Elysia just heaved a subtle sigh and pushed herself to her feet. She used her advanced perception to examine the surrounding death aura.

Well, they were still surrounded by the dark gray fog, the death aura that could endanger lives. It didn't come from the Goddess of Nature anymore or anywhere else, but it was from the ground.

The blackish soil around the tree of life was the source, but it was extremely subtle and emerged every few minutes.

"We'd better get rid of all the aura of death within this sealed domain. It will only get more and more dangerous if left to continue like this. Who knows how many years this gray fog has accumulated." Elysia invited Elena to act. This time, she would also contribute to it.

"Good." Elena stood up and came closer to Elysia, but she stopped and turned towards the little fairy and white cat. "You stay here. Let me and my disciple handle this."

Nell and Vanessa nodded several times in understanding. They could not possibly say any protest when they were helpless and unable to move freely in this dangerous domain.

After that, Elysia and Elena walked out of the layered barrier by wrapping themselves in the bubble-like barrier. They descended the stairs to the ground floor and walked out of the tree of life.

'Nee... Sister Elena.' Elysia suddenly called out while walking amidst the dark gray fog.

'Hmm?' Elena responded but didn't turn to look at Elysia.

'Why is the tree of life so confident in our abilities? She also implicitly conveyed in her speech that she knew more than what she said. The tree of life, the Goddess of Life, already knows about our magic and about us? She can tell that you are a spirit too.' Elysia looked back with her active sacred vision. She glanced at the ancient giant tree, and it seemed, Lifa was enduring the agony of the curse and backlash.

'Please don't overthink of it, Ely. I've thought about it. When push comes to shove, we only need to tell about our magic. If there is someone who can know everything about us with just one look, then we can't hide anything.' Elena patted Elysia's head with a gentle smile. She also had some suspicion and caution on the tree of life.

With that being said, everything would be fine as long as the single most crucial point was kept safe from others, namely everything about their Soul Realm.

Elysia just nodded, then made several air balls with incredible suction power. She made it float a little high and scattered it in various directions.

After that, she and Elena exchanged words in light conversation as they strolled through the sealed domain. Conversely, they were scanning the area for more information before nightfall.

A preparation to perceived the surrounding circumstances before tomorrow arrived. The day where the Goddess of Life would reveal everything.

When the whole area was cleared of the thick gray fog, Elysia called back the air balls with mind control.

Unlike Elena's previous action, which simply threw it out without any other precautions, Elysia burned all of that dangerous death aura to nothingness.
