Chapter 406: Seizing the Palace
Zach glanced at the other winged tigers, then gave his daughter his approval. "Hum, it's your right to have it, Vanessa. Please state on your wish to the Almighty Goddess. We know it's best for all of us."
"Mm, thank you." After saying that, Vanessa turned around to face her master.
Witnessed by all the individuals in the small group, she immediately conveyed her wish respectfully. "This may sound a bit exaggerated, but my wish is to ask you to seize the Brisline Palace from the Pyrogressive Lion Clan. It is a palace built by the ancestor of the Winged Tiger Clan, the first Beast Emperor in recorded history."
At the end of her words, Vanessa prostrated and pleaded. "Please, please put Brisline Palace in your Nature Realm, master. Wherever it is, even if it's in barren lands and at the edge of the mainland. All my clan legacy and my memories are in that palace. Please..."
Seeing that, Elena quite understood why Vanessa asked for that. Although, one thing that made her and Elysia agree to give a prize in granting one wish for the winner was not this.
'Oow, I thought our Vann would ask for something else, but she really didn't hesitate to ask for a big one. So, how about it, Eli? Are you going to make it happen? We're going to seize that extra huge white palace and make the Pyrogressive Lion Clan homeless?' Elena would obviously grant Vanessa's wish since it was easy peasy. Still, she needed to ask Elysia's opinion above all else.
'Let's do that. We have become villains in the eyes of the Pyrogressive Lion Clan, after all. We also need to repair the damaged defense towers.' Elysia also thought it wasn't a difficult thing to do.
'You mean just repair the towers building, right? The defense system is broken and we don't know how to fix it.' Elena shrugged her shoulders as if she knew what Elysia was thinking.
'Um, yes?' Elysia responded innocently. After that, she looked at Rhea only to get a nod, then she focused on Vanessa. "I shall grant your wish, Vann. But tell me, what about the Pyrogressive Lion Clan?"
"Thank you very much, master!" Vanessa kowtowed once more, then she raised her head when her master asked for it. Then, she answered her master's previous question. "The Pyrogressive Lion Clan really wants to rule over the Glaidan Region. If so, then they need to build their own palace, instead of using the Winged Tiger Clan's palace."
"That makes sense." Elysia nodded, then she turned to Nell.
As if she understood the meaning, Nell immediately ordered her magic carpet to float near the palace in the middle of the forest city.
"Wait here a moment." After saying that, Elysia flew down from the magic carpet and approached the extra huge white palace.
The appearance of the divine being in the middle of the city shocked the fire lions. They were rushing to find the best healers to treat the heavy wounds suffered by the four lions, but this Golden Goddess still wasn't satisfied to add to their suffering?
"What do you want to do, Golden Goddess!? Are you not content to add suffering to the Pyrogressive Lion Clan just because of those winged tigers?" One of the fire lions roared restlessly and anxiously.
"There's no need to be afraid. Hm, three of the fire lions over there are seriously injured. Therefore, allow me to help you with my healing magic. Dying from blood loss is a terrible thing for them." Elysia flew over and used her healing magic without waiting for approval from anyone.
Golden light shone from her palms and healed the heavily injured fire lions, but Ernest was omitted.
Elysia only healed external wounds, not the broken dantians or other complicated things. One thing would prevent those poor lions from losing more blood, and that was all she did.
Right on the shocked faces of the fire lions, Elysia just flew away to approach the palace. "I'm the Goddess of Light. For anyone still inside the palace, get out of there immediately because this palace will disappear in a matter of three. This is the wish of the winner of the battle and I have agreed to grant it."
Ernest just felt a little relieved to see his son and his adjutants had no more wounds, though he had no idea what was healed. However, the continued words of the Goddess made her cough and breath a little.
After being humiliated by those winged tigers, they wanted to seize his palace? It was too much!
"One." Elysia started counting.
"Wait a minute!" Ernest shouted even though his body was in pain.
"I said three, not one minute. Two." Elysia continued her count. She knew all the beasts in the palace heard her and tried to get out as soon as possible.
Sure enough, several beasts immediately rushed out as if to save their lives from harm.
"Three. Time is up." Elysia didn't wait for anyone anymore and immediately used her gravity magic to lift the entire palace into the air.
An earthquake occurred, but it was only momentary and slight. The palace slowly rose into the air to follow the incredible capacity of gravity.
Elysia created a giant golden magic circle under the palace. Simultaneously with the appearance of the enormous magic circle, she opened the portal to the Nature Realm in the disguise of magic circle magic. After that, she made the magic circle and realm portal slowly rise.
What everyone saw, the palace slowly disappeared from the ground up as if it was swallowed by something.
"Wha-what?" Ernest stared as if he couldn't believe it. Even though it wasn't the palace he built, all his treasures were still inside! He just realized that. It turned out to be looting and robbery!
"Hm, fine, now it's time for me to go." Elysia closed the portal and eliminated her magic circle.
Just as Elysia was about to leave, a beast called out ahead of the others to express his discontent. Ernest called out just before the Goddess was about to leave.
"Wait a moment, Golden Godddess, the Goddess of Light! Even if you are only here because of those winged tigers, isn't this all too much!? What do they offer to get help from you? Why did you grant their wish to eliminate my palace and everything in it? All my treasures are still in that palace! Guhk!" Ernest coughed a mouthful of blood after he conveyed his grievances and all the injustices.
To remember he was humiliated, stripped to poverty, homeless, and again no longer a male lion really put him under a lot of mental stress.
"Uhm well... In that case, I will return all the items that are in the treasury chamber of your secret room." Elysia reopened the portal in the guise of a golden magic circle and took out many valuable items and treasures.
Those were all the treasures from the treasure chamber in the underground room, which she believed belonged to Ernest. The same room where Zach's Energy Core was stored some time ago.
Since Vanessa only asked for the palace, then she shouldn't take too many treasures. At the very least, she needed to leave a little for these fire lions to rebuild the new palace, right?
"That's all from me, sorry to bother and trouble you. Since you intend to rule this region, then you can build a new palace in the name of your clan instead of using the one built by the ancestor of the Winged Tiger Clan. Farewell!" Elysia waved her hand and flew away to the destroyed towers.
Ernest pushed everyone around him and immediately rushed to save all his property before someone else took it. It was a mountain of highly precious sparkling treasures, after all.
After that, he stared at the vacant land that once stood a grand white palace. He could only hit the ground to feel all the pain he had received today. Luckily, he was not crippled like the other three fire lions. In his mind, he would make his enemy pay for everything he received today tenfold.
On the other side of the forest city, Elysia was hovering near one of the defense towers. She used various kinds of magic that she could use to repair the towers.
It was the last tower to be repaired. Imagination magic was really very practical and helpful.
'Ah, finally done.' Elysia rubbed her palms together as if to get rid of the dust.
'You only repaired the building, Ely, fufu...' Elena chuckled lightly.
'The beasts can reassemble the forest city's defense system on their own. Our help is enough, let's go back.' Elysia disappeared from the Brisline Woodland sky due to her invisible magic and flew back to Nell's magic carpet.
"Wow, you really did it, Elysia! Look at that Beast Emperor. He seems to have been hit hard for losing his palace after all the events just now." Nell cheered happily to welcome Elysia's arrival.
"Mm, it's not that hard." Elysia raised her hand, and Nell landed there.
"Hum-hum, Vanessa, my daughter, you really are a savage to give the Pyrogressive Lion Clan a final blow. You also intend to plunder that lion clan to poverty? Luckily, the Almighty Goddess is still merciful and leaves a lot of treasure behind for them to live, hehe..." Zach patted his daughter's back with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah, big sister, I didn't know you were quite sadistic and psycho too." Jimmy also patted his big sister on the back.
"Did you say something, Jimmy?" Vanessa narrowed her eyes to look at her little brother. She raised her paw for that too.
"Oh shit, I forgot you're a bully!" Jimmy immediately ran away to save his life, remembering all the physical abuse he had received in the past.
