Chapter 104: Unexpected Encounter by the Lake
Elysia saw everything was going well and smoothly. Savannah really didn\'t remember anything that had just happened. It was proven right just from the movements and actions of the golden tiger.
She and Vanessa immediately left there without a single sound and then flew into the air to enjoy the breeze in the night sky.
\'Vanessa, somehow I want to see the big lake that was accidentally created by the explosion at our meeting. Would you like to go there with me?\' Elysia invited while patting the white tiger\'s back gently.
\'Okay, but where\'s the location, master? I do not remember. Actually, at this time, we are just flying aimlessly.\' Vanessa looked at her mistress to confess in confusion.
\'Well, then leave it to me. A lake that big would be quite impossible not to notice when we were at breakneck speed. Want to go at the speed of light again, Vanessa?\'
Elysia smiled as if giving encouragement, but her smile was like a devilish smile in Vanessa\'s eyes. Vanessa wondered why her master had the ability of such tremendous speed. Even though she was a little used to it, the high speed still scared her a bit.
\'Let me prepare myself mentally for a moment, master.\'
\'Sure, we have plenty of time. It\'s still at half-past eight.\'
Hearing that reply, Vanessa took a deep breath and exhaled again to calm herself down. After a moment, she gave a sign she was ready, after convincing herself a few times, of course.
*Swoosh!*
A winged white tiger protected by a unique wind barrier with a girl on her back was speeding through the night sky. They flew directly above the Avrora Forest for a few nanoseconds, looking for the lake where Elysia had used her first destructive magic.
"Ah! That\'s the lake! After one more look, this lake looks like a sea." Elysia shouted with her voice without fear of anyone hearing.
They were now above a large lake surrounded by dense forest, the lake without a proper beach or shore.
"Is this the result of the explosion that nearly killed me? It looks like the sea? What kind of sea is it?" Vanessa asked in confusion.
"Umm, that\'s just a metaphor, but haven\'t you been to the sea, Vanessa?"
"Not yet. All I know about the biggest water source is only a large river between the Human Continent and the Beast Continent. Apart from that, it\'s only a few other rivers and lakes." Vanessa shook her head.
"Oh my... Next time, we\'ll go to the sea together and play on the beach. Don\'t worry, the world is so big for us to explore later. But after I broaden my horizons at the academy, okay?"
"Yes, master." Vanessa was delighted at the attention her master gave to her. She immediately landed on the spot closest to the lake with a merry heart.
\'How deep is this lake, hmm? The crater due to the explosion was so big and deep. I\'m sure up to hundreds of meters for the deepest base at the center.\' Elysia lightly muttered as she sat by the lake, then took off her slipper and dipped her feet in the water.
\'Yes, maybe this could be the deepest lake in this continent, hehe... Not because of nature but because of an accidental explosion pfft...\' Elena chuckled in amusement.
\'Uuu... Don\'t make fun of me. I\'ve been concentrating on making the sun small, very small, and not that dangerous. Who would have thought the explosive power was still so great? I need to train the destructive power of my magic carefully.\'
\'Complete control is the best. We can practice gradually. You don\'t want to be a superpower who will destroy everything accidentally over and over, right? That would look sad and unfortunate.\' Elena nodded in understanding.
Vanessa saw her master playing with water by the lake in silence. She did not know her master was talking with Elena.
Then Vanessa also took part in playing with water for a while before plunging herself into the lake. She wanted to swim in her most superb form because the sensation would be different than when she swam in the bathtub as a cat.
\'Vanessa, don\'t swim too far. My perception distance is only 200 meters.\' Elysia immediately reminded the white tiger out of concern. Vanessa was swimming around, then dived into the water only to come back to the surface like a dolphin.
\'Yes, master. I will pay attention to the distance.\' Vanessa answered like an obedient tiger, then played in the water again.
Elysia just smiled at it and used her hands to support her body as she leaned back slightly. She looked up at the starry night sky and the crescent moon without thinking about anything complicated, just relaxing while chatting with Elena.
Without prior notice, time passed so calmly and peacefully for those who were enjoying their time on the lake. Meanwhile, in the night sky quite far to the south from the lake, two figures quickly approached.
"Are you sure, father? Is it around here? A huge lake created from a battle between gods? Is one of them Ely? How dare someone challenge her? The one she fought was definitely looking for death, hmph! I believe Ely is the winner in that battle!" Sylvia snorted as she folded her arms.
Sylvia begged her father to visit the lake created by the fight between Gods right after hearing her father\'s story about the unnatural phenomenon that swept through most of the Avrora Forest last week.
She had missed the shocking information because she was still in a punishment period. She was locked in her room with her magical energy, which was temporarily sealed by her father. Her aching butt took a week to heal without her regeneration magic.
"I don\'t know. We can\'t draw conclusions from some gossip and hearsay. Although all the news came from our spies on the Human Continent." Dylan shook his head lightly.
"I\'m sure it\'s true! The battle between the gods! Look at these slanted trees that crushed ground and those irregular rocks that have been blown away by that phenomenon. If it had engulfed this entire vast Avrora Forest, that was for sure! My father wouldn\'t be able to accomplish something similar to that."
Sylvia exclaimed with enthusiasm while clenching her fists confidently. She said it as if she was teasing her own father at the end of her sentence.
"Since I met Ely not far from here... Maybe, that must be Ely, but who challenged her, father. Do you have any clue?"
Dylan scratched his head in confusion as his daughter looked at him with a face full of curiosity and a hint of pity. It was the usual way she used to make him answer her questions. He immediately thought about his daughter\'s question even though he didn\'t know anything about Ely other than her name.
"Hmm... If Ely is a god with a human race, maybe a god from the devil race who has become an Evil God might be the one who has challenged her. Although the three gods in this world no longer care about the world and focus on something I don\'t understand, a dispute between two gods of different races might also occur."
Dylan used a sentence that was easy to understand. Not just for his daughter, but also for himself. He didn\'t know anything about divinity or anything like that.
"There is also racial strife between the gods, huh... Our world only has three gods, and after adding Ely to the group, it is now four. If gods go to battle, then mortal can only suffer. I want Ely to be on our side. The Evil God has abandoned us since time immemorial." Sylvia muttered in fearless contemplation as she was talking about Gods.
Even so, Dylan also nodded and agreed silently. Getting the support of a god was the best. If that couldn\'t be achieved, he also had to make sure Ely didn\'t hate the devil race.
The attack from the goddess with dark gold colored energy aura was no joke. None of the three gods he had encountered by accident could match Ely if she went into full attack.
They continued flying in the direction that was expected to be the location of a super large lake in the middle of the forest. Currently, Avrora Forest\'s surveillance was starting to loosen, and only the forest borders were guarded with strict supervision. For now, their disguise would take place safely.
"Ah! That\'s the lake! Let\'s go there! Wow! It\'s huge! Is this the result of the phenomenon of Ely\'s battle against the Evil God? Gorgeous, what a charming lake. Father, let\'s land! Let\'s play with water for a moment." Sylvia shouted when she saw the lake so clearly. She didn\'t know her voice had reached the ears of a girl who was relaxing by the lake.
Sylvia and Dylan immediately landed near the lake. They checked again about their disguise, which was still perfect and wouldn\'t be faded by water as long as they had magic energy.
"Please remember, father. Right now, we are humans and not devils. Then guard a little bit of your speech and arrogance if we accidentally run into humans, okay?" Sylvia didn\'t forget to remind her father like a mother who advises her child not to be naughty.
"Okay, okay." Dylan raised his hand as if in defeat.
Right after that, Sylvia was shocked when she saw a human girl with purplish-blue eyes looking at them from the other side of the lake, not far from them. All of their conversations had been heard! Not herself and her father realized that human existence!
