Chapter 653 Elemental Army

"Divine Magic: Grand Elemental Summon."

As soon as Rey uttered those words, several entities began to emerged from the depths of the ground—almost as if rising from an abyss that connected them to another realm.

The vast, darkened plains that existed right beyond the Elven Camp, now gradually became populated with the entities that came forth from Rey's call. In their hundreds, they rose to their feet, their daunting figures at least five meters in height.

Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Lightning Elementals all gathered in their vast numbers—thousands of them—and stood still at Rey's commands.

Before long, even the darkened ground began to fade off. The Miasma that was creeping upon the land of the Elves retreated away from the group thanks to the Mana that Rey pulsated into the ground.

Before long, the plains—despite being stripped of the plants and other gifts of nature—returned to its original state.

"A-amazing!"

"T-this power... it truly is divine!"

"As expected from a herald of The Oracle!"

As one would expect, the Elves all gawked at the sight that Rey displayed to them. Not only were they shocked to their bones, but their hearts were elated and filled with immense hope.

Their deity, after constant prayers and dedication, had finally responded to their prayers.

For that alone, the Elves knelt and worshiped.

'Damn. They really are religious...' Rey saw all of this and smiled awkwardly, before turning his attention towards Esme.

She looked like she had something to say so he wanted to hear her out.

"I want to try something too..." She said, drawing close to him.

Her eyes were directed at the several Elementals he just created in the blink of an eye—all of them in the Grand Tier. It was impossible not to be impressed by his power, all things considered.

That wasn't all he planned to do as well.

Rey was also going to create weapons using his [Divine Weapon Creation] and grant the Elves some artillery to utilize as means of protection. The ideal weapons would be long-range ones, so that none of them would have to get too close to Miasma.

Plus, since Dragons were creatures of flight, things like canons or flamethrowers would work best for the cause.

However, all of that was paused due to Esme's current interest.

"What do you want to try?" Rey asked with a smile, already sensing some measure of competitiveness in her eyes.

He had noticed it for some time now, but chose not to speak of it.

Esme laughed, strangely feeling refreshed despite the heavy toll that the Elemental took on her Mana. Something about contributing to the cause made her so cheerful.

"I wonder who the real showoff is." She responded to Rey with a playful tone.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You don't?"

"Nope! Not at all!"

They both laughed after that, almost like the teenagers that they were.

Both Rey and Esme knew that the former could summon tons of the Elemental that Esme brought forth. He would even have some spare Mana afterwards.

But he chose not to.

'You were probably being considerate towards me, weren't you, Rey?' Esme smiled at him as she gave him another elbow jab.

Her heart slightly jumped as she watched him smile sheepishly. Something about moments like these almost made Esme forget the current situation, and her place in his life.

"What are you feeling right now?" Rey drew his face close to Esme as he asked the question.

"E-eh?"

Her flustered face nearly turned red like a tomato as she experienced it all at once.

"I mean... do you feel better now?"

Esme internalized the question, turning her attention to everything that had changed about the Elven Camp upon their arrival there.

There was only one correct answer to the question.

"Yeah!"
