Chapter 988: Ilse's Condition (2)



"I'll inform the current leader of the Prismerions to prepare to see you when you awaken," Orion responded with a nod.

After receiving Orion's confirmation, Ilse climbed back into bed and quickly drifted into slumber.

While she slept, Orion retrieved his mask from his waist and wore it. The mask immediately wrapped around his face, and he focused on Ilse.

"Energy level - ???"

Witnessing the same unreadable energy levels he had seen before, Orion sighed and removed the mask. Ilse's energy level was far beyond the capability of the Energy Mask Spectrometer to calculate, indicating her body might possess equally frightening power. As for why the Crimson Greatsword had been able to slice through her and only leave a nick on the sundial, even he didn't have a proper explanation.

Considering the existence of gods on Earth, Orion knew it was a miracle that the planet remained intact, as any one of them could destroy it several times over. The Vylkr energy might well be a blessing in disguise.

"Are you going to inform her that some Prismerions are serving under you as your Divine Apostle?" Orion asked, shifting his attention towards Aerialia.

"You should know that I never asked for this in the beginning. Naka might have never expected this, intending only to give the Prismerions hope of survival. However, with Ilse's resurrection, there is no need for them to serve me any longer. Hopefully, when she next awakens, we can figure out a way to resolve the mark," Aerialia responded.

Although she knew removing the mark wouldn't be easy since it had persisted despite her death, she believed that with two goddesses working together, they could undo what Naka had done. Fortunately, Ilse had no idea who Naka was, so their romantic relationship was a thing of the past.

"Are you planning to return to your manor to rest?" Aerialia asked.

"No, I'm going to oversee things. As the leader, I can't be absent during this crucial phase," Orion replied with a wide smile.

After learning they had Ilse's protection, Orion couldn't help but feel more confident. He was more thrilled now than ever.

They possessed another valuable ace, which fueled his motivation to grow stronger and further their expansion.

"I'm coming with you then. I'm curious to see how the races of this time compare with those in the past," Aerialia responded, her voice brimming with curiosity.

"Me too. I hope they don't disappoint," Orion said, swiftly ascending into the sky.

Besides an impressive, towering multi-story building near the expansive crater containing the Vylkr alloy mine and guarded by ten formidable warriors effortlessly crushing the approaching Vylkr vines with terrifying might before harvesting them, Commander Vargoth and Sy'ra stood in solemn silence within the fortified perimeter, awaiting response from the mysterious Paradise.

They watched the unfolding scene with dread, curiosity, and interest, particularly noting the identical bracelets adorning each warrior's wrist, ranging from right to left. Their minds raced to uncover the importance of these bracelets, yet none dared speak, fearing unnecessary repercussions.

Suddenly, they spotted a familiar masked figure, accompanied by the same warrior who had left to deliver their message, descending from the sky towards them.

The two landed before them.

Vargoth and Sy'ra swiftly bowed down, offering deep respect as they greeted one of Paradise's Key Leaders. They concealed their immense relief within their hearts.
