Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 138
While Sigrid and the others were nurturing those “blasphemers,” the room, which had been thoroughly cleaned by Miss Priestess’s flames, was anxiously awaited. Finally, the vine door, confirmed to be completely automatic, reopened.
Violet, Little Dragon Girl, and behind them, Hilda, who had reverted to her original white hair and feathers, with the gray ear feathers grown during her angelic transformation now gone, walked out together.
“Senior Hilda!”
Everyone’s spirits lifted, showing joy on their faces. Sigrid, in particular, was so excited that she rushed up and hugged this fellow [Four Wings] senior.
“Sorry to have worried everyone. This time, it was all thanks to Miss Violet.”
The white-winged lady, freed from both angelic transformation and the erosion of Withering Divine Power, smiled, still maintaining her reliable demeanor. She patted Sigrid’s head, her young junior, affectionately.
Seth probably didn’t expect anyone to be able to revive her in such a situation. While some memories of Hilda had become fuzzy after her angelic transformation, the overall situation was still remembered.
As the one directly involved, and with her exceptional intelligence and sharp mind, it was impossible for Violet to hide the fact of her resurrection from Hilda.
However, at Miss Priestess’s request, the understanding winged lady decisively agreed to help keep this secret.@@@@
The reason they stayed inside for so long was not just the process of resurrection magic itself but also spending most of the time on debriefing.
The events that occurred on Spryce Island were indeed just as Violet saw in the illusion, but Hilda wasn’t very clear about what the “Seth” had planned next.
Probably, as the other party said, Seth really just saw Hilda as a convenient pawn and toy, rather than foreseeing Miss Priestess’s appearance and intentionally concealing it.
But Seth is definitely no longer on this island.
Hilda went to catch up with her colleagues and acquaintances nearby. She needed some time to explain to everyone what had happened during this period and the information she had gathered.
Another small group, consisting of Violet, Little Dragon Girl, Leila, and Rene, chose not to leave.
“Lady Violet, could it be that Lady Hilda...”
Standing on the surface of the Abyssal Island, the surroundings were still filled with faint gray mist emanating from the abysses. According to Hilda, there is indeed a very large special creature here, and the entire island is actually its body.
That’s something that existed thousands of years ago, without much intelligence, but capable of moving according to simple commands and continuously producing Abyssal beasts. This seems to be a creature created by another powerful entity, and the woman calling herself Seth was just borrowing it.
Perhaps Hilda is not entirely clear about the reasons behind it, but Violet can guess that this thing is most likely a super-sized creature, similar to the Abyssal worm, but more focused on size and production capacity.
As for who exactly created the magic island, she still cannot be completely sure. It could be a creation of the bizarre biological technology of the Abyss, or it could directly be the work of the original Goddess of Earth.
The experiences in the illusion also gave Violet a better understanding of the past of this lost deity and further speculation. Perhaps... the time for the truth to come to light is approaching.
“Violet, are you really planning to destroy this island directly?”
Sigrid, who had already heard Miss Priestess’s plan, seemed somewhat hesitant. She looked up at the dense gray mist in the sky and then turned her gaze to the black-haired girl beside her.
“Yes, why not solve the Abyssal invasion problem once and for all?”
“Of course, it’s natural to want that, but... what if this is another trap set by the enemy? Like leading us to do this to accomplish her sinister plans...”
Violet couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sigrid, when did you become so suspicious? Even if you don’t trust the enemy, do you doubt my judgment or Hilda’s?”
The mentioned white-winged lady smiled and spoke up at the right time.
“Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any further traps here. That woman probably doesn’t see this place as very important. Her main goal is still to collect the so-called ‘fragments.'”
“Even so...”
Sigrid’s expression was worried.
“For some reason, I have a feeling of unease, like something is about to happen.”
