Chapter 180 - XVII Evolution of the Fairies (2/2)

The fairies also grown to become more feminine compared to their previous childish faces. It was also then when they noticed him and rushed over.

”Master!” The four fairies approached him with faces full of emotion and it was when Elijah noticed something he didn't knew. Flying while wearing short dress was not a good idea, especially when none of the fairies used underwears, letting Elijah have a full view, which was not possible as he noticed none of them had intimate parts. Something easy to guess as their bodies were made of energy but still disturbing.

After they were quiet, Elijah had a long talk with them. In the middle of conversation, Elijah thought it was not good to think of them as fairies anymore, they were more closer to angels now. When Elijah prepared to leave, Aura, his angel of Energy asked to follow him as she wished to exploring things now she was free after a long sleep while the others asked for the same thing. In the end, Elijah leaved the hall together with four winged-females. He explained everything that happened and the content of what they needed to do in this Muddy Swamp.

”We have finally come out...” Elijah sighed as he looked at the vast swamp around him. After having stayed in that dream for a long period of time, he had forgotten the feeling of having wind blow against his body.

”Let's go!” The four angels did not noticed the little action of Elijah and urged him to continue. Expanding his senses, he determined Yawen's position, and waved at the the four of them while a pair of starry wings spread out. Misty, Aura, Destiny and Storm followed his actions and spread their feathered wings.

One human followed by four angels turned into rays of light that flew across the sky. Flying at this high speed should have brought at least a faint wind pressure against them, but Elijah's starry wings formed a thin layer of energy that ignored the pressure. Suddenly, Elijah paused in mid-air, the four angels were taken by surprise and crashed into each other.

”Ouch...” Misty and Aura rubbed their heads while grumbling while their other two had teary eyes.

”There is something wrong...” Elijah said before narrowing his eyes. His golden eyes swept over the entire region which was were the Sword tribe was supposed to be located and as he did so. He could not even hear a single sound or presence of human or beast. Destiny also felt something was amiss and spread her senses into spatial waves that washed over surroundings before she spoke.

”Yes, there is none living being in the area. The city ahead also is devoid or any being. Moreover...” She twitched a few times while sniffing with her nose. ”There is a strange smell in the air. It remembers me of...”

Elijah was startled when he heard this. His expression changed as he covered her nose and spoke in a solemn manner: ”Poison! You must not inhale this air until we are sure it is not hurtful to any of us.”

But it was too late when he realized. Purple veins spread in a very slow manner on Destiny's skin and the same was happening with him and the others.
