Chapter 77 - Subjugation (3) (2/2)
Emersyn sighed, ”Don't worry. I'll come back before your joint mission come. When was it?”
”Three days from now.”
”Good. I'll just be in Strevalia and train. I need to be stronger than I am now...”
Elodiaren grabbed Emersyn's hand and clasped it between his hands. ”I give you my best regards, My Lady. Please be careful.”
”I'll be fine, Aren. You should be the one who has to be careful. Don't die before I get you.”
”Yes, ma'am!”
”Good. See you then.”
”See you, My Lady!”
Emersyn took off then went to the depths of the lush green forest and summoned a portal to Lasirion. When she got into the portal, she breathed that refined air with vigor and exhaled with a relieved expression. She quickly turned towards the so-called Gate of Lasirion then went into the other dimension.
”Lady Emersyn?!” Someone called from the sideline. When she turned around, she saw Flora in her maid outfit.
That looks great on you. Damn.
”Where are you going?” Flora asked as she wiped her hands with her apron.
”Just over there,” Emersyn said as she gestured at the Gate.
Flora's eyes widened and she immediately said, ”Please let me come with you.”
”... okay?”
”Please wait here.”
”Oh right. I have to buy some things. Let's meet up here after thirty minutes. Is that okay with you?”
”Understood,” then she disappeared into the restaurant, knowing that she still had something to take care of.
Emersyn quickly went to the forest once Flora was out of sight. She summoned the holographic screen and went to the shop to buy some ingredients she needed and a few appliances like a portable stove. After all, they would be in the wilderness to find and kill Calamity monsters in that world. Now that she thought, what if she went to search for them using her bracelet? Is it even the time where she would expose the existence of this device to Flora? Well, she was indeed trustworthy.
After about thirty minutes, Flora emerged from the back door in her adventuring clothes and trotted over to Emersyn. ”I'm all ready.”
”Good. Now, let's go.”
”Hmm...” Flora stood there for a moment before following after Emersyn.
When they entered the Gate of Lasirion, a huge fireball came at Emersyn. She pressed up her hand on that lump of mana and stopped its track. The wind blew strongly at impact then it dissipated.
”What…”
”That can't be...”
Voices sounded out and she saw males conjuring up more of those fireballs and some variant of ice and earth. They went more guarded especially when they realized that women came. They already despised the men from this other world because of their beliefs towards the female species. So, they decided to put up a resistance whenever someone would come into their world. That is, to kill them before they even step foot on their soil.
Emersyn clenched her extended fist and stared at the men.
”What-”
”As if we will listen to a woman! Just shut your mouth up! You don't have the right to talk to us!”
Emersyn sighed and waved her hand in frustration. Now, she stepped first on the ground and it suddenly rose up to the sky. Emersyn was caught up in the rise, but she maintained her balance and quite enjoyed the view from above. She looked down at Flora and shouted, ”The view is great here, Flora! Want to see?”
”...”
”What's wrong?”
”Nothing. I will come up there now,” she replied then jumped over the earthen wall. ”Hmmm… it is good here.”
Seeing that those women enjoyed the view, they frowned and gritted their teeth.
”Crush them!”
Suddenly, an earthen hand came out of the ground and slowly came to crush them. However, Emersyn wrapped her arm around Flora's waist and a pair of black wings emerged from her back. She crouched down then jumped to the air and gained altitude. She flapped her wings harder as she passed through the cloud. Flora was surprised, but soon wrapped her arms around Emersyn's neck. Then, Emersyn raised her right arm and a holographic screen appeared and showed the map of Celvides. There were black dots appearing in the map and she flew towards the nearest of them.
Meanwhile, Flora's expression stoned as she continued gazing at Emersyn's face and wrist.
Emersyn caught sight of a sleeping giant on the flattened mountain. It had lustrous fur and it seemed to shine under the sun. She stopped midair and eventually, dived deep in the atmosphere as she held Flora tighter. When it was low enough, she summoned a sword---which caught the attention of Flora---and immediately cleaved the giant body into two. Leaving no room for the giant to scream or even know that it was attacked. They landed on the ground and Flora clenched Emersyn's shirt.
”Lady Emersyn...”
”Yes?”
”No… Master, you came back...”
