Chapter 428: Healing the Loli Star Goddess (Please Subscribe)

Within unnaturally transparent ice, one could see a vivid scarlet hue.

—A rather young child, maintaining a gentle smile.

Her crimson hair spread out in the ice as if gently swaying, just like she was asleep.

However, contradicting her serene and peaceful expression, there was a deep stab wound on her chest.

Upon closer inspection, her appearance matched exactly with the little loli holding Izay’s hand.

Her identity no longer needed to be questioned.

“This is my past self…”

Eluko held Izay’s hand, slowly approaching the massive wall of ice.

“Finally found you, my lord… after several hundred years.”

Kougyo hovered before the two, gently flapping his fins, expressing his heartfelt emotions.

“Well, let’s take care of business first. The master of this illusion seems to have noticed us,” Izay said, indicating that the current situation wasn’t calm enough for celebration.

“Hmm… I understand,” Eluko nodded, looking at Red Lake Bo: “Red Lake, together.”

“As you wish.”

This was the plan they had discussed beforehand.

When Eluko returns to her body, she will temporarily be unable to regain consciousness due to a curse.

At that time, Izay would help her dispel the curse and restore her body.

And Red Lake Bo would protect Eluko’s body during the ensuing battle, taking this young master away from the battlefield.

—Following the pre-planned steps, the star goddess loli placed her hand lightly on the ice.

Ripples gradually spread across the surface of what should have been an incredibly sturdy block of ice.

In an instant, accompanied by a loud splash, the object originally made of ice melted into countless droplets, splashing everywhere.

At this moment, Eluko released Izay’s hand, floating upwards like a swallow returning to its nest, colliding towards the descending body in mid-air.

Red Lake Bo gracefully swayed his spirit body of Kogyo, merging with her sleeping form.

The spacious area, having lost the ice, the little girl, and the fish, suddenly became much quieter.

Izay gently summoned Eluko’s body, carefully pulling it close and leaning it against the edge of the cave wall.

“—’Star Protection·Purification’!”

Aiming at the grotesque knife wound before him, Izay activated the magic.

Holy light rose, and the magic circle outlined in white lines glowed brilliantly.

With the output of magical power, the knife wound before Izay began to heal visibly.

Threads of ominous black energy were expelled and dissolved from the wound, which then quickly closed.

After a few breaths passed, Izay ended the release of the spell.

“Hey, Red Lake, I’ve healed her. Take Eluko and leave here first.”

“Leave it to me, Izay. Please be careful.”

Responding directly through telepathy, Eluko’s body gradually faded from view under a veil of ethereal energy.

It wasn’t any brilliant trick, merely a simple illusion to deceive the primitive beasts already rushing towards this place.

Red Lake Bo would slowly drag Eluko out afterward.

With Kogyo’s current strength, that was all he could manage.

The next moment, an ethereal song began to echo.

Having detected the revival of the star goddess within the illusion, the First Beast would certainly not remain silent.

Even if their reaction was purely instinctual, they would never allow the revived star goddess to escape.

The star goddess who had sealed them for thousands of years was hated by the beasts to the core!

“BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”

As the song played, the ground began to tremble in response to the melody.

Had Izay still been inside the small town, he would have noticed that all the townspeople had reverted from humans back into ‘beasts’.

“Gray… world, how nostalgic…”

They sang praises to the barren surface, obediently following the guidance of their powerful kin, crazily hunting the alien species within their territory.

Facing the non-human creatures emerging from the walls, Izay showed no panic.

In the dungeon, he had experienced such situations where he was surrounded by monsters many times.

With extensive experience backing him up, Izay skillfully handled the current situation.

His dark golden spear danced nimbly among the incoming beast horde, slaughtering one after another of the enemies trying to devour him.

“My ability values have increased significantly. These second beasts are stronger than those outside…”

While fighting, he analyzed the current situation. The ones blocking Izay now were all snake-like beasts.

“Drilling Second Beasts”.

In the outside world, they were approximately Level 4, but here they possessed combat capabilities comparable to Level 5.

But it was still within the range where he could handle them easily.

Izay didn’t forget his purpose.

Eluko and Red Lake Bo were still in this space.

They had only concealed their forms and hadn’t left.

What he needed to do was to move the battlefield elsewhere, ensuring the safety of his two teammates without combat abilities, and try to see if he could eliminate the First Beast.

The vast “Great Achievement” experience and the energy of the “Life Catalog”.

He craved it!

……

“‘Blessing·Starfall’!!”

Izay shouted out the magic bombardment.

A magic circle larger than his height instantly appeared beside him.

Aiming at the ceiling above — the ground, a torrent of magical power surged forth.

All the second beasts nearby were completely annihilated under the azure light flow, covering the underground stone floor and blasting out a huge crater.

There were no falling rocks or debris.

The moment they came into contact with the magical bombardment, they were already annihilated.

With a light leap, Izay left this underground space.

The rest of the incoming beast horde also followed him out like sharks smelling blood.

“Huff… That was close…”

When there were no other creatures left in this space, a faint voice slowly spread.

Kougyo slowly revealed a fish head from the corner of the cavern, then looked upward at the large hole blasted above.

“Indeed… Izay’s strength is formidable. This level of power probably feels effortless to him?”

Red Lake Bo, thinking about his instantaneous magic casting earlier, had every reason to make such assumptions.

Moreover, it was important to note that the magic used earlier was comparable to the output of some human quasi-heroes.

That was once the highest combat force of humanity…

“I believe he can handle it. I’ll take my master to find a safe place.”

Maintaining his upward gaze for a while, Red Lake Bo gently flicked his tail and disappeared again.
