"Come on Ray, let's go," his mother appeared in front of him as she held his hand and tugged on it lightly.
"Huh?" Confused and shocked, Ray looked at his mother as she was bathed in a holy light, standing besides him with a smile on her face.
"Mum? What about the troll?" He asked in shock and fear. He never knew that his mother had become this strong and that she would be able to handle a strange troll in the Celestial Realm with such ease.
"Ohh, that?" His mother spoke with abhorrence and took out the troll's dismembered body from her spatial storage. The body was beyond recognition as it was mashed into a semi paste. Ray looked at the sorry condition of the corpse and then back at his mother as he asked, "I have some questions to ask?"
"You can, but not now. The spatial bridge is unstable and might collapse soon. Also, other enemies might also come," his mother answered in a stern voice as Ray simply nodded and started to limp towards the spatial bridge. His body was greatly exhausted and he was injured beyond belief. Therefore, even the simple act of walking was nothing but pure torture for him.
"My dear son, mother is still here," his mother uttered as she went forward and scooped him up in a princess carry. In her embrace, Ray's stiff body turned limp as he exhaled in pain while his mother walked out of the portal.
At the mansion,
Elina was still staring at the spatial bridge in awe. The heroic actions of Ray's mother were playing on repeat in front of her eyes as she felt even greater respect for Ray's mother.
"Huh?" She looked at the portal and saw a silhouette crossing it, "Is it Ray?" She thought but looking closely, the silhouette was vastly different from Ray. The height was less and the body was curvier. From afar it seemed as if a beautiful women was coming from another world. In the figure's arms was someone's limp body as she hugged that body closely and very carefully as if not to cause any pain or harm to it.
"Just who is it?" Elina thought as she raised her guard. She called in all her strength as the cursed Quill appeared in her hands. Her other hand transformed as various threads formed out of it, she raised both her hands and used them in tandem. One hand held the quill and wrote curse while the other formed a strange web of threads on which the curses were wrote. She used this hybrid method to from a trapping technique and cast her spell,
[Soul Curse:- Cursed Threads],
She muttered and released the spell. The threads turned pitch black as they spread over in the whole place. She stood in the middle of the spreading threads as her eyes had also turned pitch black. A shadow appeared behind her as it was nothing but an eerie disfigured face with reddish eyes that gleamed as if rubies themselves.
"Spread over," she muttered coldly as the strings were released. The strings also pull as they shot forward with immense speeds.
"Lets see how you take this one," Elina muttered with a cruel grin on her face. She looked no less than menace who wanted nothing more than to destroy the person in front of her.
"What?" She suddenly exclaimed in shock as she saw the incoming woman glow a bright light. The halo covered the woman whole as she started to float high above in the air.
"What were you?" She asked n shock and disbelief as her strongest attack was nullified with such ease that it seemed as if it was a kid being played with by an adult.
"Kiddo, you don't need to mess with the one in front of you. She is a legendary person," The demon within her spoke. His voice was strange as multiple emotions were being conveyed through it. From what Elina could assess, the demon was scared, angry and even excited.
"Do you know her?" Elina asked.
"Know? I have fought alongside her. She has a history with the older generation but from what it remember, she was heavily injured and her powers were sealed but look at her now. She seems to be stronger than she was in her prime," the demon answered.
"But who is she?" Asked Elina in frustration as the woman was barely visible and Elina really wanted to know what was happening.
"Ohh… you know her very well," the demon answered before going silent.
"Huh?" Elina was a bit shocked but then she noticed that the demon had provided her with useless information and deliberately played her by putting her into a dilemma.
"You A*shole," She shouted in anger but that was all she could do because the demon had turned silent by now and it didn't seem that Elina's words or actions affected it even a little bit.
"Sighhh,' she exhaled and tried to approach with caution till Ray's mother came back. Or that was what she thought because the moment she tied to speak, she saw the woman open her mouth and speak, "Don't be afraid child. It's me, Ray's mother," Ray's mother spoke in a calm and soothing tone as it served to soothe Elina.
"Oh, since your face wasn't visible, i thought someone attacked," Elina replied and then her eyes wandered to Ray, who was in her arms as she asked, "Don't tell me," she uttered as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, no. It's not that. He is just too weak and injured," She replied with a smile and descended. Coming to the ground, she looked around and asked, "Everyone has arrived?"
"Yes, everyone but the head nurse," Elina replied with worry in her eyes as her eyes were glued to Ray and his condition. Ray's mother obviously noticed this but remained silent. She looked around and then ordered, "Close the spatial bridge,"
"huh? What about the head nurse?" Asked Elina in confusion.
"I picked her up on the way. She fainted so i stored her," said Ray's mother but it served to confuse Elina even more as she felt a bit vary of Ray's mother. After all, she was acting quite strangely.
"Sighhh… you are young kiddo, that's why you don't believe me. Lemme show you," said Ray's mother as she waved her hand. A light shone around her as the space opened and a dimension portal appeared over her.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Thud," a body fell. Elina looked closely and noticed that it was The Head Nurse and she was still breathing while her body was healing at a moderate pace. Only that her injuries were so serious that Elina estimated for her to wake up in a day or two.
While Elina was still observing, Ray's mother waved her hand again as another portal swallowed up the head nurse's body, "My dimensional space will allow her to heal faster. If she stays there, she will be all fine a couple of hours or so," Ray's mother said while Elina listened to her and simply nodded.
"Now dear. The portal," she said and reminded Elina softly. However, listening to her soft voice, Elina was pulled out of her thoughts as she nodded and ran straight to the module in the corner of the room and operated it as the spatial bridge was turned off.
[Spatial Bridge Being Turned Off. Please Clear The Surrounding Area],
An announcement reverberated in the room as the spatial energy all around the room was dispersed while the spatial bridge started to turn dim while the portals it was connected to on the other side were also closed. Due to the ready tense situation, the spatial portals in the academy broke down as the conflicting magical energies turned turbulent as a huge explosion took place.
"BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!" The explosion reverberated through the academy as not only the portal room butch surrounding hallways were also reduced to debris.
At the Mansion,
Ray's mother walked out of the room and made her way to Ray's room. She did so with such swift speed as not to alert anyone. Reaching Ray's room,
"Click…" the door was opened as Ray's mother walked inside. She walked over to his bed and then laid him down. Placing her hand on his neck, she checked his pulse and found it to be low but it was stable. She also used her system to scan Ray's vitals and found them to be improving slowly. It was just that Ray was too exhausted and that caused his body to shut down.
As for the injuries, albeit being serious; the resilience of dragon blood and super healing factor of the Phoenix blood played a huge role in stopping most injuries and heal Ray further.
"I thank the three of you for taking care of him," Ray's mother thanked and walked out of the room. Not knowing that she had thoroughly shocked the three presences present in his consciousness.
Ray's mother walked back to the room where very one was and then looked at Ray's teammates standing by the door waiting for her.
"how is he?" Asked Aella. Her eyes were puffy while she could barely speak due to the worry she felt for Ray after knowing that he had yet again over worked himself and fainted.
"He will be fine soon," Ray's mother answered with a sweet smile and patted Aella on her head in a motherly manner.
This calmed Aella a lot as she felt a bit relieved but the worry still remained in her heart, "Can i meet him?" Asked Aella.
"Soon," Ray's mother answered as she changed the topic and continued, "Now we screen everyone here for any imposters and assign you all rooms for stay. Other things we will plan later," She said with a smile as Ray's teammates understood what Ray meant when he said that everything would be handled very well. He had a literal monster at home for all this.
