Chapter 349: Kill With a Borrowed Knife
Chapter 349: Kill With a Borrowed Knife
"You will fail. Can’t you borrow the other’s knife to resolve the knot in your heart? I will take you to witness it. The mastermind, that Heavenly Demon, will perish today." Megami shook her head.
"Zi Xuan understand. Please bring me to his execution ground." Zi Xuan nodded in understanding.
"Your bad karma will harm you from within. You robbed other people of their rights and opportunities. Moon Palace is the one who will punish you later." Megami stripped Saintess Qin’s cultivation, leaving no spiritual power behind.
After crippling Saintess Qin’s cultivation base, she asked Mytic to tie up the fainted girl.
"That technique..." Yuna wanted to confirm something, but she didn’t know how to say it.
"I stripped her power." Megami turned around and left.
"I have tied her with stellar rope." Mytic wiped her hands with a handkerchief. She tied up Saintess Qin to a pillar using a bondage technique.
"Hm." Megami nodded and looked at Yuna, stating her request without having to speak.
"Understood." Yuna summoned her flying sword and brought everyone to catch up with the Moon Sovereign’s army with impressive speed.
In a desolate land three thousand miles from the Moon Palace’s southern boundary, hundreds of high-rank experts turned a barren mountain upside down.
The demons nested deep underground. The Moon Sovereign led his army to dig out the demons, and then he went straight to exterminate the most significant threat. The Moon Sovereign personally fought against the one who aimed for his life while his elites handled the rest.
The 15th Rank goat-like Heavenly Demon hovered in the air, wondering about how Moon Sovereign could find him.
"How can you repel my curse and locate me? Is it because of that black-veiled woman?" The Heavenly Demon evaded the moonlight stream by a hair, sacrificing his left arm.
"The dead shouldn’t know anything. You cowards want to take my life, and yet you never expected this sovereign to take your life before your plans were ripe. Die under my sacred moonlight!" Sovereign Yue unleashed his ultimate move to take down the most significant threat.
"Heeh, but you won’t survive better either. You know nothing about our greater plans. Not even the prophesied savior can save the Heavens!" The Heavenly Demon raised his hand and manifested a dark matter ball.
"..." Megami took out a small pebble and imbued it with a bit of her malice-nemesis divine magic. She threw it towards the Heavenly Demon’s head in the distance.
*Bang!*
The Heavenly Demon received a surprise attack, disrupting his mind and preventing his spell from activating in time.
The sacred moon had fallen, burning him under the divine white light. Cleansed the evil and brought back the peace.
Even though the Heavenly Demon’s physical body had been burned to ashes, the battle was far from over.
The potent curse and evil spirit’s counterattack would come next.
"What kind of witchcraft is this!?" The evil spirit screamed in fear.
The metal rod on Moon Sovereign actively took effect to erode the curse and suppress the evil spirit.
"Wow..." Sovereign Yue looked at the metal rod in his hand. This magic item was handy for fighting the Heavenly Demon.
However, he could feel it was far from enough for one item to suppress the 15th evil spirit and its curse. He then looked up and found the mysterious Goddess and the White Heavenly Agent watching from the sky.
"Don’t mind us. Continue the purge." Yuna waved her hand.
Sovereign Yue did not respond and slayed the Heavenly Demon without fear of the curse that had begun to attack him.
"It’s his end... The 15th Rank big evil." Megami announced the end of the most significant threat and then glanced at Zi Xuan.
"That’s the end... Father, mother, everyone... please rest in peace. Although I cannot avenge you with my own hands, the big evil has been wiped out." Zi Xuan looked up at the sky with peace of mind.
"Then, what are your instructions, my lady?" Mytic was excited because she knew their next destination was her Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground.
"Summon them to Heavenly Palace if they want me to help them purify the curses." Megami heaved a sigh of relief.
"They should be fine for the time being. Lord He-Dao will issue his decree to summon all high-rank experts in all Heavens to Heavenly Palace in several days." Yuna looked at her golden plaque.
"I see. Saintess Mytic, we will trouble you." Megami closed her eyes and sat gracefully on Yuna’s enlarged flying sword.
"It’s my honor." Mytic bowed respectfully. She commanded the flying sword to fly to her home, but she remembered it wasn’t her sword. Thus, she looked at Yuna with a sparkling gaze.
"Alright. Let’s stop at your home. You haven’t said your request to Goddess Ely, either. You better not cross your limits." Yuna could tell Goddess Ely’s mood was looking forward to a break. After all, they had a rather long tour.
So many events happened in a short time, and she also needed a little rest to rearrange her thoughts. Goddess Ely effortlessly caused so much disturbance and suppression to the Heavenly Demon with mysterious techniques. She needed to report Goddess Ely’s unmeasurable divine power to her Lord, too.
After Mystic Stellar, they could finally return to the Heavenly Palace! Yuna immediately took everyone to fly away to Mytic’s home.

Elysia started her morning with several thoughts in mind. Her Goddess sisters and her family members were injured in that unknown secret realm, and the realm core still hasn’t been captured.
The entire idea came from Lifa and her Goddess sisters. They wanted to train and hone their skills with Sacred Sakura’s disciples and allies in that disadvantageous realm, facing the weakened, corrupted monsters without Elysia’s help.
Elysia overwrote the realm’s laws and orders a little. The realm core was terrified and fled. After Megami weakened that realm, the extreme training sessions and hunting for opportunities began.
Even Miko also had to stay in the safe zone, only allowed to help the injured. If Elysia had gotten involved, the challenges would become too easy. It would defeat the purpose of the practice.
"Phew... some crafty and greedy people lost their lives on the path to immortality. They didn’t heed our warnings and reminders, but some of my people have become a bit naughty lately." Elysia spoke her mind.
’Mama, I didn’t...’ Miko tried to explain the situation, but Elysia didn’t blame anyone.
In six days, everyone would be ejected from the unknown secret realm.
’Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, Miko. I have set up the purifier device in our shared subspace. Make sure everyone purifies themselves and any items from that realm. Whether it’s gravel, treasure, relic, or whatever. Everything must pass our standard security checks.’ Elysia reminded Miko of the most important thing.
’Mm, roger. I will handle everything flawlessly.’ Miko felt relieved and happy.
’I need to handle some things soon. Please take care and look after everyone for me, my precious.’ Elysia looked at the clock and hurried to put on her disguise as Young Master El.
’Mama, also take care. I look forward to visiting Earth and meeting you as Young Master El, mama, fufu~’ Miko chuckled cheerfully before closing the spiritual communication channel.
Elena and Ai helped Elysia with the disguise. After that, Elena and Ai entered the Elysian Realm, and Elysia went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Linda.
It would take a while until she could see Linda again, so an impressive breakfast was a must.
"Hmm, smell good~" Linda woke up to the delicious, appetizing aroma. She was still only half conscious, but her body seemed to move on instinct to find the source of the delightful aroma.
She rubbed her eyes and found someone in the kitchen.
The prince-charming chef was cooking with charming and mesmerizing movements. She was stunned to see Young Master El cooking some breakfast as if performing an impressive technique.
"You are awake. Wash your face and hands. Breakfast will be ready soon." Elysia brought several appetizers to the table and then returned to the kitchen to prepare the main course and dessert.
It was supposed to be a set menu for dinner, but the current moment was the best time to make Linda remember her.
"Young master, please let me help you." Linda offered to help because she felt uncomfortable not doing anything.
"Good, then finish this together." Elysia was okay with getting a helping hand.
Linda helped her young master and followed all instructions given obediently. Once the dishes were ready, she blushed a little. She hadn’t thought about it before, but she felt that she and her young master resembled a newly married couple.
"Bon appetite." Elysia put her hands together and started eating the appetizer.
"Ah, good appetite?" Linda came out of her world of imagination and responded to her young master’s greeting reflexively.
She took the first bit. At that moment, she felt that the world had suddenly changed to become more beautiful and meaningful. The creamy sauce and melted cheese made her melt in pleasure, but the crunchiness kept her in place to enjoy the deliciousness.
By the time she returned from her trance, her appetizer was gone, but she craved more.
"Is it delicious? Next is the main course." Elysia presented the main course to Linda.
The breakfast took place warmly and peacefully. Linda truly enjoyed that precious moment, but unfortunately, the good thing had to end because she had to go to the Superhero Academy.
"Please get ready. We will leave in half an hour. This is your training uniform. Wear it for the entrance exam." Elysia gave Linda a sports outfit.
"En, thank you for the breakfast, young master. I’ll be back soon." Linda expressed her gratitude and rushed to her room to get ready.
A few moments later, they checked out of the hotel and went to the Superhero Academy at the World Unity Force’s military base.
