Chapter 739: Mental Type Monsters

After everyone had their turn in that opinion game, Nell suddenly brought up a rather serious topic. "Comes to think of it, we haven't met any accursed creatures with mental and psychic abilities yet. They are at medium danger level, but it could be one of the most dangerous, I must say."

"Now that you say it. As I recall, they were sealed somewhere in what is now the Boundless Desert and Nameless Land. It was a forbidden zone on the Unknown Continent. We only recently discovered one on the Devil Continent, that shadow monster." Lifa put her hand to her chin. After that was said, she felt a little apprehensive, considering the dangers of that type of monster.

"How dangerous are the mental type monsters? Are there many of them? Also, where is the Unknown Continent located? It's not on the world map." Sylvia opened the world map scroll, which immediately caught the girls' attention. They wanted to know the location of the place in question.

"It doesn't exist on common maps like this one. Even if it does, it's just in an inaccurate form. Have you been curious about the world map before the invasion of the accursed creatures, the Ruvoid Race?" Lifa glanced at the map and offered something that no one could refuse.

"Yes, please." Elysia was also curious. What kind of world at over a hundred thousand years ago look like.

"Hmm, I'll show you later before you go to bed." Lifa replied with a subtle smile.

After a few chit-chats, they all came out of the hot spring and wore a Beastkin Continent's yukata-like robe.

"Can we go on a-, erm, palace tour?" Lynn raised her hand for a request.

"Let's do that tomorrow morning." Vanessa was unable to fulfill the request.

"Oh, okay. So, where are we going to spend the night?" Lynn just complied with the arrangement.

"The room that used to be mine. Allow me to show you the way. Here." Vanessa turned down a corridor and pointed to a large door.

*Creak* *Creak*

The big door caused some noises when Vanessa opened it. Even though the room was a bit different than it used to be, she had discarded the insignificant things and left only a few important ones.

Rather than calling it a room, it was more like a hall with bedroom decorations. An extra-jumbo fancy bed of six by four meters was placed in the middle of the room. It was so eye-catching just because of its large size.

"Woah, as expected of the beast's royal family. I think a bed this big can fit all of us." Sylvia ran into the room and threw herself on the bed.

"Mm, those fire lions changed this palace significantly, but I rearranged this room a few days ago. Please come in." Vanessa welcomes everyone in.

*Swiish*

A bunch of leaves flew in with an ancient scroll. Lifa received the scroll, and the bunch of leaves flew away just like that.

"This is a world map created during the golden era of this world, over a hundred thousand years ago." Lifa went to bed, and everyone gathered to look at the world map.

When the ancient map was opened, Sylvia compared it to her map. "There's a lot of difference. Almost all the continents got smaller, and some disappeared from the map."

"Yes, some lands have ceased to exist, but some are not printed on your map. Even though it's called Unknown Continent, that place is just a big island. Long ago, that island was called Sholuin, a silent witness to the extinction of an entire race, and also a place that seals in countless mental type monsters." Lifa pointed to an island some distance southeast of the Aquatic Ocean.

"That place is so far from the rest of the continent. What race used to inhabit the island?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"..." Lifa didn't want to answer that.

"Sorry." Sylvia immediately apologized. The extinction of a race in that place was a terrible tragedy, and she could understand that.

"It's okay. I want you to strengthen your mental strength, both your spirit and soul. We will train and strengthen that aspect. Tell me, what would you do if an evil entity tried to take over your body and soul? What will happen if you fail?" Lifa sat on the bed and watched everyone's expressions. However, her attention was more focused on Elysia and Elena because these two girls were the most critical factors in her grand scheme of a bright future.

"The worst case is that an evil entity will replace us and take everything we have, including our existence. We could be swallowed up in darkness with no way back. The best way to go is to strengthen our soul and spirit's defenses against mental attacks or curses like There is still a way of redemption to take over what should be ours." Elena folded her arms. She understood Lifa's concern.

"It's like what happened at Griffith Palace. The wife of the current Emperor of Aeddoterra Kingdom, Arthur Griffith. Queen Amelie was once possessed by an evil spirit, which took over her body. Emperor Arthur sealed her in an underground chamber until we were there to help her achieve liberation by exterminating that evil spirit." Elysia put her hand to her chin and glanced at her friends, Evelyn and Ella.

"En, Elysia and her master can exterminate that evil spirit even if it possessed a person. However, it is not an easy endeavor and requires a lot of precision." Rhea vouched for Elysia and explained a little to her mother. She was sure she had told this before to her mother, but who knows.

"Eh, have you ever met a case like that, and the victim survived? Wait, I seem to have heard this story from my daughter... Ah, yes, that's it. Even if you can overpower something like that, you must strengthen your defenses and mentality, Elysia. You haven't met the formidable ones, and I want you to be well prepared if something unexpected strikes you." Lifa widened her eyes at Elysia. She held her forehead for a moment before patting Elysia's shoulder as she brought her face closer.

"I understand. I need a lot of training in physical, magic, theory, and insight. However, I am also in dire need of mental training. For the coming days, please train us. We are in your care, o the divine ones." Elysia clasped her hands in prayer.

For some reason, the girls also followed her gesture and prayed to the Goddesses.

"Good, we shall grant your wish. We expect a lot from you." Elena represented Lifa, Rhea, and Nell to respond to Elysia's statement.

Everyone then talked about the old world with the current era. It was a history lesson presented by Lifa.

Sometime later, it was getting late. Rhea tugged the hem of Elysia's sleeve for attention. She wished to rest in formation recovery with Elysia and Elena because she felt these few days were the perfect time to get herself back to her peak strength.

"Uhm, sorry for not being able to attend the girls' night chat. Something has happened, and we need to rest in the next room." Elysia excused herself to her friends.

"Mou, it wouldn't be perfect if you weren't here, but fine. See you tomorrow morning." Evelyn puffed out her cheeks but didn't insist on her request. The Goddess of Nature held Elysia's hand, and it didn't take a genius brain to make her realize what Elysia meant.

"I will look after you while you rest, master." Vanessa volunteered, but the Goddess of Life cut her off.

"No, they will be resting in the recovery formation. Let me take care of them. The Goddess of Blessings will remain here with all of you." Lifa said her decision. She didn't want it to be contested.

"We're in a private realm under divine rule. We'll be fine, Vann. Good night everyone. Good night and have a nice dream. We have a lot of events tomorrow, so make sure to have enough rest~" Elysia waved her hand and left the room with Elena, Rhea, and Lifa.

"..." Nell felt a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't complain because she knew it was for her big sister's good.

"Nee, may I know your opinion on Ely? You know, she has a lot of unsolved secrets. We may have dug deep enough, but it made us realize that Ely is like a giant mine to explore. I'm inquisitive a lot about Ely and her master. So many things are still in the shadows and mysteries." Sylvia took a comfy black-red pillow from her Space Bag and hugged it.

"Mm, I'm fully aware of that, Sylvi. Ely is like an abyss, and I volunteer to fall deeper just to find out the truth and who she really is." Evelyn brought out her favorite cuddle doll, Lila, the clownfish.

"O the Goddess of Blessings, my benevolent Goddess... Allow me to prepare a special place for you to rest." Ella brought out a fancy canopy bed the size of a fairy. She placed her grand handmade on the table.

She then invited her Goddess to rest there respectfully. Of course, she was accompanied by her favorite dolphin cuddle doll, Sera.

"Uhm, I commend you." Nell was a bit amused at Ella's efforts. She appreciated that and went to her canopy bed.

"I'm honored." Ella bowed slightly.

"..." Yuuki, Vanessa, and Lynn were silent for a moment to see that.

"Ahem, anyway, I'm quite surprised you said Ely is like a great mine to explore. That's a strange supposition. However, I admit that there are still a lot of mysteries regarding Ely and her master. It's like an endless dungeon full of mazes and puzzles. However, please be careful when digging deeper because they can be like an abyss of no return." Nell gave a gentle reminder to these girls.

The girls then exchanged stories regarding Elysia and the Goddess of Light under Nell's supervision.
