Chapter 649: Assassination Attempt

It was a brownish mansion that looked historic and had hundreds of years of historical value. Although the building was a bit ancient, the architecture was amazingly sturdy. Not to mention the artistic carving on the outer walls.

"Are we coming to a luxurious mansion in the Middle Ages? It\'s like we\'re back in the era of the past." Elysia looked at the mansion beyond the car\'s window.

"Meh, they\'ve only kept the legacy of the Great Britain. This mansion probably once belonged to a noble, and their descendants only inherited it. Is Queen Elizabeth in this town?" Victor was not impressed by the castle-like mansion.

"I think Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is in London." Erina answered with a smile as Elysia looked at her cluelessly.

"Oh, so it\'s like that. Well, you will remain in this mansion until the banquet is over, right? Then, I must go now to retrieve my wealth that may have been buried in age. I need to say hello to the current ruler of England too." Victor went closer to the window above the middle seat and ordered Mio. "Open the window, the great me needs to take off."

"Alright." Mio raised her hand and opened the window above her.

"Be careful not to get lost on the way. It\'s almost night." Elysia gave a kind suggestion.

"I\'m not a child who can get lost. Don\'t worry and wait for me to come back. I\'ll compensate you well for my sanctuary bracelet. Don\'t go to Japan yet before I come back!" Victor jumped onto the car\'s roof and shot straight into the twilight sky like a jet.

"..." Elysia looked up at the sky and muttered in her mind. \'If VIctor comes back after I\'ve gone to the underworld, maybe she can only see me again after a few days.\'

When the entourage arrived in front of the mansion, several butlers came over. They opened the car doors for the guests.

The red carpet had been laid, and the festive atmosphere of the welcome banquet could be seen. However, the guests did not immediately enter the banquet hall.

They were guided to certain rooms because they needed to change their clothes to follow the dress code for that evening\'s event.

"Me, I need to wear an evening dress like this? Whose collection are all these dresses in? Why do almost all of them look a bit revealing? Aren\'t we going to be cold later?" Elysia wondered and kept trying to find the appropriate evening or fancy dress from one wardrobe to another.

There were dozens of dresses of various kinds and styles, but she couldn\'t find one that suited her preferences.

"My apologies, if you please, the taller dress options will be much more diverse." The nearby maid bowed to apologize.

\'Wait, I feel like the owner of this fashion collection is a lolicon. I\'m in danger... I\'m a bit short, but I know I\'m curvy. Why are evening dresses for girls for my size only available in this somewhat revealing variation? I can\'t believe it. This is beyond suspicious.\' Elysia muttered with much suspicion.

\'This maid just wanted to say that they only have a small collection of evening dresses for short girls, much less with curvy body, Ely. Girls under a hundred and seventy centimeters are short in their eyes.\' Elena chuckled in amusement. She just woke up a while ago, and they were going to attend a banquet of schemes and tricks.

\'Then what\'s with this short-girl-only revealing evening dress?\' Elysia lifted a dress that would undoubtedly show her side boobs and much skin.

\'I feel the scheme starts here, Ely. They purposely want you to wear revealing dresses to attract wolves and predators. It\'s a bit odd here to say these wardrobes only have revealing evening dresses for your size. Look at Sylvia over there. She won\'t even touch anything.\' Elena began to assume and examine the entire dressing room.

\'The owner of this fashion collection has a weird fetish. I\'m quite short compared to those people, but I will grow taller in a few years. But, schemes, huh... I don\'t like where this is going. If it\'s like this, I\'d rather wear a fancy dress from Rosa.\' Elysia grabbed Sylvia\'s hand and went to the changing room. "Sylvi, come with me. I have a dress that fits us the best."

They were already wrapped in a beautiful and elegant evening dress a few moments later. Black swan for Sylvia and white crane for Elysia. That was the dress theme they were currently wearing.

"Hehe, is this what they call the balance? There\'s black on white, and white on black. Is this the uniform dress for a duet?" Sylvia twirled once with a chuckle.

"I don\'t really understand because I got this from Rosa. She is a student at the academy who works in her women\'s fashion business." Elysia put an ornament on her head then helped Sylvia put one on.

"Hehe, you look really pretty in that dress, Ely. But, I seem to need to repel the pests who are clearly approaching you with bad intentions. I\'ll take immediate action when they cross their line." Sylvia gripped Elysia\'s hand with a sparkling gaze.

"Mm, thank you. You look really pretty in that dress too, Sylvi." Elysia appreciated the compliment because it came from her closest people.

Vanessa then rubbed her body onto her master\'s leg.

"Oh my, you even gave a dress to Vann too? She is the princess of the meow kingdom now." Sylvia crouched down to carry the cat princess, but she was ignored and avoided.

Vanessa climbed up to her master deftly and carefully, then lodged in her master\'s arms. "Meow."

"Ooh, you want to be with Ely. Hm-mm~ You want to scratch some rude and presumptuous people, right? Yup, let\'s do that." Sylvia nodded as if she knew everything.

"..." Vanessa didn\'t know what to say because her intentions were just discovered by this devil girl.

After that, Elysia and Sylvia left that dressing room. Yet, the other girls were nowhere to be seen anywhere. Even Erina and Mio were no longer there.

There was only one maid still waiting in the room, but this was different from the one appointed to guide Elysia and Sylvia.

"Excuse me, where did everyone go?" Elysia asked in confusion. She didn\'t want to get closer as she felt something was wrong, but she couldn\'t pinpoint it.

"Keke..." The maid looked down and replied with a peal of creepy laughter.

"If you die here, Tyler will obviously be in big trouble. Why don\'t you just die for me, o most honored guest!?" The maid suddenly took out a short sword and covered a distance of three meters in less than a second.

Elysia widened her eyes as she had never expected that this maid suddenly had such a sudden killing intent.

Sylvia unleashed a deadly fist into the maid\'s face with no mercy, just as Elysia and Elena were about to act.

*Bam!* *Crack*

The sound of a crack accompanied the maid, who was bounced a few meters back. She just stopped because she hit the wall.

"Oh no, I might have killed her with that. But, I don\'t regret my reflex action. Anyone who dares to injure Ely deserves severe punishment, much less those with murderous intent." Sylvia wiped the bloodstain on her fist with a handkerchief and put it back into her Space Bag.

"She\'s still alive." Elysia immediately approached the maid to find out more by interrogation. Everything had happened, and Sylvia\'s action couldn\'t be blamed either.

"Tyler, have to... suffer. He, he doesn\'t deserve, after-" The maid mumbled incoherently. However, it was her last breath before she died on the spot.

Unfortunately, Elysia wouldn\'t be kind enough to let a dead person go away after trying to assassinate her.

She grabbed the semi-transparent soul that had just left the dead body and asked via telepathy with a solemn tone. \'Why do you want to kill me? Who ordered you? What do you mean in your last words? Answer me or I will burn your soul into nothingness.\'

\'Just kill me already and free me from this cruel world!\' The pitiful soul screamed hysterically between tears and snots. But, it was only the sound because the soul had no tears nor snots.

\'Answer my questions first. This is your last chance for your liberation.\' Elysia gripped the soul tighter.

After that, the pitiful soul just revealed everything with no other choice. By the time Elysia understood everything, she had just freed let that soul go.

The human-shaped light was already waiting near the ceiling, and it looked pretty confused when the human girl looked up as if she could see its presence.

"The world is cruel, and I wonder why." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She just turned around as if she couldn\'t see that human-shaped light.

The white human-shaped light caught the soul and vanished from there instantly.

"Hehe, Ely, you can look scary sometimes, but I like you even more for it. So, what are we going to do with this mess?" Sylvia chuckled and hugged Elysia\'s arm.

"..." Elysia didn\'t answer with words but with action instead. She removed her magic seal to obliterate the dead body and any evidence from the scene. Yet, Earth God immediately tried to seal her magic again.

A statement suddenly came to her mind. \'That is a human affair, and you just happened to be involved by accident.\'

\'I know it. Wait, I want to ask you one thing. Answer me first and you can seal my magic again. It\'s about the two Godds who seemed to have also been stranded into this world like us.\' Elysia answered hastily. It was difficult to contact this Earth God.

\'Please continue.\' Earth God responded.

\'We accidentally detected that the Evil God was in the underworld. If possible, can you confirm that for us? Then, the Accursed God might be hiding somewhere in heaven?\' Elysia went straight to the point without further ado.

\'I have neither access to the underworld nor the heavens. My law can\'t reach that realm arbitrarily.\' Earth God spoke in a whisper-like voice, but it sounded like a sigh instead.

\'I see, so will it be fine if I try to search for them in the underworld and heaven? What about hell?\' Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Earth God\'s help was impossible.

\'Well, I couldn\'t detect any dangerous foreign presence other than you and your two friends there. Do as you please, but don\'t inflict fatal damage. The ones who will cause trouble to you are not just me if that happens.\' Earth God replied nonchalantly.

Elysia ended the conversation, and the black rune bracelet reappeared on her left forearm.

She conversed with Elena for a moment and sighed. The current event smells of schemes and tricks like what Sylvia said before. "Thank you for protecting me, Sylvi. Let\'s go to the banquet hall. Everyone is probably already waiting for us."
