Chapter 394: Celeste’s Evolution
As Aster opened the folded piece of paper, he noticed that it was a letter written by Eren himself.
The letter told him that Eren was going to take at least three to four days before getting back there. It told Aster to wait without doing anything foolish.
It also advised him to keep a close eye on the girl, making sure that no one found her.
Although he didn’t understand how Eren managed to deliver the letter, he still kept it in his pocket. If they had to wait, then it was fine.
In any case, he couldn’t leave. Eren controlled his life and death after all. It was
just a few days in any case.
A few kilometers away from Aster’s location, a Spirit portal opened. After delivering the letter, a Spirit Warrior returned to the land of Spirits.
In another place, the Sea Dragon Empress was just about to give up on waiting for Eren and try to enter the ruins of Celestial Dragon herself.
She wanted to take Eren with her since he had the blood of the Celestial Dragon,
believing him to be useful while exploring the ruins.
Unfortunately, she has had enough of waiting. If Eren wanted to come here, he would have been here already. He was either captured or killed, so there was no point in waiting.
If she wanted to save him, she had to find the Celestial Dragon’s heart and become stronger. She stood up and started leaving, only to have a folded paper falling before her feet.
Confused, she looked around but she couldn’t find anyone nearby who might have thrown the paper. She bent forward and picked up the paper, reading the letter which carried the Celestial Dragon’s Aura.
Eren intentionally used the aura while writing this letter to convince the Sea Dragon Empress of his identity.
After the woman finished reading the
letter, she walked back and started waiting again.
She had waited for an eternity to find the Celestial Dragon’s Heart. Three more days of wait was fine, as long as it increased the chance of her success.
Not far from her, the Spirit Empire Felona also confirmed that the letter had been successfully read. She stepped back and entered the portal, returning to the land of Spirits.
“The letters have been delivered, and the
two sides seem to have agreed to wait,” Eren heard the voice of Spirit Ancestor Yelen, who brought him good news.
“That is good.” Eren nodded. He had been worried about being late to the meeting, but now he could travel to the Northern Continent without any concerns.
“I have one more piece of good news to share with you,” Yelen said, leaving Eren to guess what it could be.
“Is it about Celeste completing her first evolution?” Eren asked, glancing at the system notification screen that had appeared in front of him.
He was pleasantly surprised. He had truly thought that it was going to take longer,
even with the help of the Spirit Realm’s essence and the Spirit Queen’s guidance.
“H-how did you find out?” Yelen was surprised that Eren already knew about this. Even she herself came to know about this a few seconds ago, so how could he
know?
She couldn’t understand how Eren could
know something that had happened in the
Spirit Realm, given that he hadn’t been
there in a long time. Was his connection with Celeste so strong?
Eren didn’t answer Yelen. He couldn’t tell
her that it was because he just received a notification from the system that Celeste had completed her first evolution.
“Can I bring her back now?” Eren asked
Yelen, using his thoughts. “It has been a long time since I saw the little one.”
“I will keep her a little longer. When she
comes back, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.” Yelen told Eren to look forward to it before she stopped
speaking.
Eren didn’t argue with her. If anything, he
didn’t even understand what this evolution meant. All he knew was that Yelen seemed
to know something about Celeste.
Eren didn’t even know what Celeste actually was. She was similar to the Spirits
but even the Spirits couldn’t see Celeste. That’s why he asked Yelen about it. Even the first time he told Yelen about Celeste and introduced them, the Spirit Queen Ancestor looked pleasantly surprised. Ever since then, she had been keeping
Celeste in the Spirit Realm, saying that it was something good for the little Pixie. Eren wanted to go to the Spirit Realm to see Celeste but he was quite hesitant about using the portals, unless absolutely necessary. He could only wait, knowing that Yelen was trustworthy and wasn’t going to do anything harmful for Celeste.
Without Celeste, it had been quite peaceful. However, there were often times when he missed the light fairy-like creature which had made a house in his
pocket.
He really wanted to ask Yelen what this
evolution meant. The system only said that
the evolution was completed but it didn’t say what evolution meant for Celeste. In the end, he controlled his curiosity. He
was quite looking forward to getting the little one back. He had already stockpiled a lot of variety when it came to cakes that she loved.
While Eren was immersed in his own
thoughts, the Cardinal was leading the way
silently, not saying even a single word along the way.
For now, he just wanted to enter the Northern Continent as soon as possible, so he could turn that place into Eren’s
graveyard.
Even though the Pegasus were not as fast
as the Warships, they still only took a little over a day before reaching the border of the Western Continent.
The Western Continent was separated from the Northern Continent by a three thousand meters wide river, which was flowing in different directions.
The left side of the river was connected to the Western Continent and it was flowing upwards. The water was filled with the aura of life, appearing sparkling clear. The right half of the river was connected to the Northern Continent, flowing downward. The water on this side was
pitch black, filled with the aura of death. The stark contrast within the river created a mesmerizing sight between the two continents.
