Chapter 78: Chapter 77 - Awakening of Powers [Part Two]
I looked at the beautiful figure who had appeared before with my eyes wide open, unable to proceed with what was currently happening to me.
She was just so beautiful, she looked absolutely perfect and it was as if nothing could ever change that.
"Y-You're so pretty..." I muttered without even realizing it, completely ignoring what she had previously said to me.
In fact, I couldn't even remember the words she had pronounced, I was too absorbed by her beauty to care about anything else.
"Who are you?"
The beautiful woman with long, green hair and green eyes flashed a smile. "You don't recognize me?"
I frowned upon hearing those words, trying to focus on her appearance, trying to find a moment where I had seen someone like this.
Then, it suddenly came to me.
"Y-You're Mother Nature?! The Mother Nature?"
"Yes, my child. I'm sorry for ignoring your pain for so long. However, at last, I decided to help you as much as I can."
I couldn't believe it. I thought that I had been doomed, unable to ever contact her in my life. A disappointment to the elves, that's all I had ever been in my life for my parents...but at long last, I had finally managed to contact her. I had finally managed to talk to her after so long.
Tears ran down my cheeks on their own as I looked at her; emotions I had kept hidden deep inside me for years were surfacing at quite a rapid pace.
"My child, I'm sorry for interrupting your moment, but you won't be able to sustain my summoning forever. You should tell me what I need to do before I disappear. I have a good idea of what I have to do based on everything that is happening outside this small "bubble" of wind, but I need you to tell me what to do."
As the head of the goblin rolled on the ground, Ariel looked at me with a huge frown, as if extremely mad because of what I had just done.
"Why couldn't you just do that earlier? Why are you hiding your strength? Are you another loner like Art who didn't even bother helping us in this fight?! Answer me."
I could feel the strength in her voice with every word she pronounced, and it affected me as I could barely stand still at the moment.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm telling the truth. I really just awakened my powers of connection with Mother Nature."
Ariel's head snapped toward Isolde. "Is that true, Isolde? Is she really unable to call upon Mature Nature today?"
Isolde, who was sitting on the ground with small injuries all over her body, just shrugged. "She was never able to do it once she was within the elven territory. I don't know if she managed to do so after, though."
Ariel nodded as she seemed to realize that I wasn't actually lying for some unknown reason.
Still, being accused of such a thing for no reason was annoying. But that feeling quickly disappeared as Caedrel suddenly appeared right over the body of the goblin.
He looked over in my direction and smiled at me. "Good job, Ariella! Without you, everyone would have most likely been defeated. It seems your connection with Mother Nature is quite a strong one, too. It's rare for her to give so much effort for such a simple task."
I frowned. I didn't know why, but Caedrel was speaking as if he knew Mother Nature and how she would act in most scenarios. However, that made little to no sense, considering that he was a human and no humans had ever been able to call upon her. In fact, only the elves had been able to do such a thing.
Nevertheless, I didn't mention it and just noted it to myself, as I knew that Caedrel was hiding some things about him from others.
"Anyways, you guys can take another hour of break. I need to spend some time inspecting the corpse of this goblin."
After he uttered those words, Caedrel snapped his fingers, and four black walls formed around him, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was planning to do with that corpse.
