In This Life, I Will Raise You Well, Your Majesty! - Chapter 80

Shwaaaa!

Standing on a towering pillar of water, Elisha felt the infinite freedom that she had been longing for a long time.

Since she lost Ignis, she had been wondering when she would ever feel it again.

As she stretched out her hand, the wind scraped the air like a wave. As long as Elisha had the will, it would be embodied in reality and the world would be torn apart.

This was not a runaway anymore.

It was pure delight!

Elisha, whose palm was stretched, felt so sorry for the sky above and the earth below.

Because she knew that this power that allowed her to cut the boundaries of the world with her own hands could not continue to stay with her.

Elisha realized she was mistaken when she tried to extract the jade energy. As she had done so far, she wanted to draw out the energy of the jade-infused rock and resonated it with her will to convey it to Undine.

One by one, in turn.

There was no problem at first. Rather, it was better than she had expected, so she was relieved and sped up the process.

So, when all the jade energy of the first rock was delivered to Undine, Elisha tried to lift her palm, but she couldn’t.

The first rock maintained its original shape even after losing all of its energy, and it handed her over the power of the second rock.

It was then that Elisha realized that each of them was a rock and at the same time a mass.

Even while thinking, the jade energy resonated with Elisha and continued to give strength to Undine. After the fourth, fifth, and about the tenth time, Elisha became serious.

Elisha had no way to control or stop this resonance, which was flowing so wildly.

Elisha must endure the opposition force that collided with the jade energy, which was forcibly cut off, and Undine’s power, but it was too much for a body that couldn’t even hold mana.

However, if she continued to overdo it and connected the two forces, she would be ruined. Elisha ground her teeth.

She raised her other hand. Then, with her chest tightly attached as if hugging the rocky bumpy wall, she put her other palm on the wall.

Elisha commanded her senses. This is not working from one to a hundred, but working at a hundred like one.

Instead of weaving a piece of fabric by pulling a bunch of yarn and unwinding it from a bundle of yarn…it is making a piece of cloth by pressing the whole bundle of yarn.

In fact, in terms of risk, this might be riskier, but Elisha decided to trust Undine. What would happen if Undine, who was obviously not an ordinary water spirit, was given enough mana to use all her powers?

Wouldn’t it be possible to draw the mana of the gem and connect it with Undine, and conversely, Undine could affect the mana of the gem and lead to a stable situation?

Shwaaaa!

Elisha moved the mana of the gem connected to her body more strongly. The string of mana that Undine was connected to by the gem that became the magic body was categorized. That’s… the spirit’s mana road.

The purity that no one had ever seen had emerged in the world.

A beautiful road made of melting green gems.

Elisha stared at the magical truth with a more bewitched face than when she first encountered it. She didn’t even know that the green light was flashing and spreading out in all directions.

Her body trembled as if it was about to collapse, and her mind wandered. She repeatedly cleared her mind, but that didn’t matter either.

The painting in her eyes flowed from her head to her toes and flowed into one.

Her heart warmed.

The heat that started was going wild as if it would burn the whole body! Her mouth opened, but she didn’t groan. Disordered breathing sounds were all over the place.

Undine, who was looking down at Elisha, slowly moved downward. The closer she got to the floor, the more her body grew.

Undine, who had been a little girl, had become a woman, and stood behind Elisha. Undine spread her arms and hugged Elisha from behind. Undine buried her face in her shoulder and covered her hand over Elisha’s heart.

The energy of the water that spread from Undine’s hand suppressed the heat. The heat cooled down. The red light that was young in the sky blue eyes slowly faded away.

Tuddung! Tung!

The pieces of rock that fell over her head were interrupted by Undine’s force and bounced off in all directions.

Tutugung! Tung!

As the insides of the rocks that supported the stomach became powder, they fell down, unable to endure the force that was pressing down. Displaced stones creaked and cracked in all directions, and collapsed rapidly.

But Elisha survived under Undine’s protection. And as soon as the work was done, Undine, who suddenly returned back to the shape of a little girl, flew to Elisha’s face and sat down.

Elisha once again felt the spirit’s mana road radiating within her.

She thought Undine stopped her from almost exploding when she saw the spirit’s mana road for the first time earlier.

The power absorbed at that time still remained within Elisha. Her own body was not better. A new force, which was still broken and twisted, was overlying it.

It was a considerable burden, and if one looked closely, one could see that Elisha’s skin had blue tendons bulging and redness everywhere because her body could not stand it just by holding it in for a while.

If she left it like this, her body that couldn’t stand the energy would be torn to pieces. So, that’s why she had to pour it out, and she was trying to use it ‘moderately’.

Elisha was happy to go back and have more things to say to Leon. She had to tell him she had found another thing she liked.

Elisha stopped the explosion of the energy once more.

Syuaah!

A stream of water slid down and pulled up the three figures from the bottom of the basin.

“G-Goddess!”

Dahil and Taro were soaked in tears and had runny noses.

“This looked really fun, but it’s high and it’s not good. Does Your Majesty like things like this? Is it good to be tall? Is it good to look down?”

Even in the midst of this, Shamir was quietly babbling nonsense. Elisha looked down without answering.

“There you are.”

Elisha’s sky blue eyes flashed as she spoke to herself.

Aran was in a dazed state because he could not understand what was going on. The enemy, the eldest son of the chieftain of the Heb tribe, who could have killed him with just one teasing of his tongue, fell to the earth in an instant…

The 2nd Consort, who had a problem with the mana road and could not use her power properly, was standing above his head in the form of an absolute being that he had never seen before.

“Le-let go…”

The middle-aged man, whom he was holding hostage, was trembling as if he was about to wet himself. Aran almost relaxed his hand for a moment, but he endured it.

Seeing that the 2nd Consort had taken her people, she might head back in that way, and then he would be left alone among these many enemies.

“W-what is that…”

It seemed that Laoman still hadn’t died. Aran spat at Laoman, who was shocked, while still holding his side with both hands.

“It is Elisha de Rappelcia, the 2nd Consort of the Atien Empire.”

“W-why is the 2nd Consort here?”

“I brought her here. To use her as the incarnation of Sionil.”

“You did what? Are you crazy…!?”

Laoman was not the only one who answered. The middle-aged man, the hostage Aran was holding, freaked out and shouted.

He knew that he would die if Aran twisted his neck, but he couldn’t contain his excitement. Because that really didn’t make sense.

“Why? It’s okay to kill her, but no kidnapping?”

The open mouth of the middle-aged man was tightly shut.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Laoman lay on his back and looked up at the sky. He only knew that the roots of the conspiracy he suffered were much deeper and tougher than he expected.

His blood drained and his eyes became blurry.

He was certain of one thing. As of today, the desert is over.

Aran, who was running wild thinking he was smart, eventually devoured the desert, both the native tribes and the pro-Kran Kingdom tribes.

The last thing that Laoman, who was losing his mind while thinking that this was how Aran made this kind of unified desert that he loved so much, saw was flying snakes.

“D-doesn’t that look like Garyosa?”

“Whatever it is, avoid it!”

Chwaruk!

A dozen snakes made of water, which could be about 2 meters thick and 10 meters long, began swirling around in the basin.

Poeboekk! Peak!

There were some warriors who thought that they would pass through without damage even if they collided with those things as they were made of water.

However, as soon as they saw a horse that collided with one of them thrown backwards to the ground and vomited blood, and after seeing a person squashed and disappearing upon contact, they ran away unconditionally.

However, even if this was a large basin, there was no way to avoid the swarm of snakes of that size roaming around. The Heb tribe warriors guarding the exit turned their heads. If it was just the native tribes there, they would have bravely attacked them regardless of death.

But when the power of the water, which was considered sacred but sanctified, punished them, they could not think of anything else.

Tadakk! Taddak!

At the owners’ urging, the horses rushed, busying their feet. The Heb warriors made their way into the desert through the only exit of the basin, which had a gentle slope.

No, they meant to do that.

A water snake flew behind them, slid to the front, and rushed them head-on.

Poeboboekk!

The horses and warriors that collided with the snake flew to and fro. The damage caused by the fallen comrades and horses, not the snake, was greater.

But the snake did not end there, but twisted its body from side to side, which had been stretched out in a straight line among them.

“Aaagh! Aaaaaagh!”

The sand was stained with blood.

Amidst the turbulence inside and outside, only the place where Aran was located was quiet. Aran stood firm and couldn’t stand it any longer as the whole basin, not just his surroundings, began to calm down.

To a person with that kind of power, they would be like garbage, but did she have to do it like this? This was not a form of fear he had ever felt so far. Aran grabbed the hostage he was holding. not for use. He just didn’t want to be here alone.

But when they had finished their work, one or two snakes gathered around Aran.

“Do you remember?”

A voice came from overhead. When he looked up, the 2nd Consort was looking down at him with indifferent eyes that did not contain any emotions.

He said he was the one who messed up that noble face, and it might make him feel better if he humiliates her…

His hands trembled. His tongue hardened.

Aran couldn’t even ask what she was talking about.

Shruruk!

A snake rushed over and opened its mouth wide. The snake bit Aran and the middle-aged man Aran was holding hostage at once and stood upright. Their feet floated and their bodies were dangling in the air. The snake bowed its head down, then flipped them up and opened its mouth.

Aran rose into the sky…and then fell.

Surprised, Aran shoved the middle-aged man he was holding so hard that the man’s body could not go up and quickly fell down.

Poegoekk!

It sounded creepy. Aran turned his eyes away from what would soon be the case for him as well and clenched his teeth.

Crack!

Just before he was thrown to the floor, another snake, who was turning its heads down below, opened its mouth and bit Aran.

Then it did the same thing the first snake did.

Tossed Aran upwards.

The third snake, and the fourth snake, as well.

“It was 20 times.”

Elisha’s voice, which was not as loud as it seemed, resounded like thunder in Aran’s ears.
