Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 348 - 56 - What I Must Do As A Saintess

My question about the Tree of Life, which was sacred to the Elf race, had made them all look at each other.

I know that "Tree of Life" is a secret situation that they are experiencing as an Elf race that is surviving from extinction after their sacred Tree of Life is dying, based on the words of my Goddess.

The situation they were experiencing was like an open book in front of me.

With no secrets to hide from me, they all kneeling as if surrendering to the situation they were in.

"Our sacred Tree of Life has been experiencing some problems in recent years, and it all happened gradually after some humans attacked us with unknown intentions," said one of the Elf race who was still kneeling in front of me.

"Explain to me, I want to know the situation that is happening before I help any further," I replied while sticking the cursed Odachi sheath into the ground to support my back.

Thudd...

With the cursed Odachi sheath planted on the ground and my back leaning against my cursed Odachi sheath, this light interrogation turned into a relaxed question-and-answer session without the tension of before.

When the situation under control, it made me feel the peace of a group of Elf races that like to be alone from other races and live side by side with nature.

"After seeing what was inside the shrine and removing the seal of the cursed weapon that was inside, I somewhat understand what had happened to Elf race. Especially with the traces of the battle that had taken place inside this underground cave," I continued while glancing at the cursed weapon that was hiding behind my body.

"For starters, I learned that the shrine was not built by the Elf race but by humans. Some of the ornaments inside show traces of human intervention that are clearly intended to worship the Goddess of Destruction."

Through my words, I seemed to show my somewhat expert ability to conclude based on what I had discovered.

"As a Saintess who came from the human race and knew several Goddesses. I could say, I am a Saintess assigned by three different Goddesses." While saying this, I emphasized that I was a neutral Saintess and did not want to interfere with the main goal of the other Saintesses belonging to the other Goddesses.

I raised my hands and showed the blessings of three different Goddesses along with my three different magic cores.

"My Goddess..."

"The Goddess Aurora..."

"And the Goddess of Destruction..."

"As I say before, I’m a neutral Saintess who received three blessings from three different Goddesses as well."

"Recently, the Goddess of Nature contacted me to do something that has been happening to her followers. Since I have a connection with the Goddess of Destruction as well, I was tasked by the Goddess of Nature to take care of something that has been causing you all this suffering."

My words were followed by my transformation into a Monarch of Holy Destruction, wearing a cherry blossom crown that floated above my head.

My magic waves changed slowly, previously being golden-yellow, now side by side with holy black magic waves.

This sudden change in my magic waves was like introducing myself as a Saintess who oversees the situation in this world based on the direct orders of the Goddess.

"Although I am a Saintess blessed by the Goddess of Destruction, I am not like those who attacked you. My primary duty as a Saintess of the Goddess of Destruction is to prevent her from being summoned to this world again."

"The Goddess of Destruction is tired enough of all this."

Without realizing it, I’d spoken at length, leaving all the girls around me momentarily speechless. Even my own twin sisters were listening with serious expressions.

"Cough! Why am I the one explaining myself and the purpose of my visit?" I grumbled in a slightly annoyed tone, drawing laughter from all the Elf girls around me.

I did this on purpose to quickly cool down the heated conflict.

Even though Alice and Alyssa were still on guard with invisible magic spells.

"As you say, O Saintess sent by the Goddess of Nature."

"We have been struggling lately and are in a dying phase after our sacred Tree of Life has been attacked by a fanatical group that worships the Goddess of Destruction," said an Elf while keeping her head lowered.

I felt the situation had calmed down enough and lifted the alert by glancing at my twin sisters.

Nod...

With a light nod of my head, Alice and Alyssa canceled their invisibility magic spell.

"If that’s the case, then it’s going to be quite a long conversation, isn’t it?" I replied as I adjusted my position, after leaned against the cursed Odachi sheath that was stuck in the ground, preparing to move.

"While you’re explaining what happened, wouldn’t it be better if we quickly head to the underground Elf settlement?" I continued, releasing the Goddess of Destruction’s blessing.

Stuudd...

Pulling out the cursed Odachi sheath that was stuck in the ground, I prepared to move immediately and glanced at my twin sister to remain calm in every situation.

Nod... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Nod...

With a nod from my twin sisters, they both agreed with this sudden decision.

"Let’s move and explain what is happening to your Elf race," I said as if giving them an absolute command.

Whether it was me who was still suspicious or they were feeling unsure about this unilateral decision, several Elf girls glanced at each other before standing up from their kneeling positions.

"Oh, before anything goes wrong. You better stay away from them," I said to the cursed weapon, who was trying to get closer to the Elf girls around me.

"I-I understand, my Monarch..."

With full obedience and submission to my orders, the cursed weapon that had just been released from the sacred seal immediately flew up beside me.

"It would be a big problem if you were out of my sight. You know that they are in big trouble after what the heretical sect did to their sacred Tree of Life," I said, warning the cursed weapon about this.

Swuulll...

Swuulll...

The cursed weapon used the remnants of the magic I gave it to flying beside me and tried not to move too far from me.

Tap...

Tap...

I walked into the underground cave path that was frozen by Alice and cast a Holy Fireball spell to melt the ice wall created by Alice’s magic attack.

"Holy Fireball..." With that simple magic chant, I tried to melt part of the ice wall so I could pass through.

The ice wall created by Alice’s magic attack quickly melted, revealing an underground cave path slightly muddy with water. Then I invited the Elf girls to show me the way to their settlement.

"Please show me the way forward," I said after melting the thick ice wall that blocked the underground cave path.

"With pleasure, O holy Saintess," replied one of the Elf girls as she took out a magic lantern and put something inside.

Ceesshh...

Cesshhh...

Fllaasshh...

Unlike the magic lantern I used in my room, the magic lantern used by this Elf girl was much brighter than the one I used.

We immediately stepped into the underground cave, which was the hiding place for the Elf race in a large area of dense forest.

This decision I made will likely shorten my military expedition, and that is quite good news.

Without wasting time exploring the dense forest just to find the Elf race settlement, I actually found the Elf race itself by accident.

This kind of luck is like a blessing given to me by the Goddess.

[ Lily-chan, I didn’t do anything about this... ]

[ All of this is pure coincidence, and the Elf girls are also on an expedition to ensure that the cursed weapon is still sealed within the sacred shrine of the Goddess of Nature. ]

[ By chance, they sensed another wave of magic that did not come from the magic plant and tried to prevent unwanted things from happening in their sacred shrine. ]

Ah, so that’s what’s going on?

I feel guilty after praising my Goddess like this.

How could my Goddess possibly give me such good fortune, right?

Stab...

Stab...

[ Ugh, I feel like I’m being stabbed and in emotional pain... ]

[ Please stop attacking me emotionally and sadistically like that, Lily-chan. ]

Eh, even though I wasn’t doing anything?

[ Lily-chan’s previous words had made my fragile little heart feel the pain of a sudden emotional attack. ]

[ Ugh, my poor little heart... ]

I had absolutely no idea what my Goddess was saying, just like usual.

Tap...

Tap...

As we explored the cold underground cave path and echoing footsteps, an Elf girl beside me immediately told me what had happened to the Elf race.

"Oh, holy Saintess, I will tell you what has happened to our Tree of Life. But, the origins of our dying Tree of Life are known only to the elders of the Elven race, who are now trying hard to survive on underground cave like this. Taking us far from the true Elven civilization, as once said by the Elves who once set foot in the world above ground," she said with a slightly trembling tone as she walked beside me.

Whether it was me walking with a cursed Odachi in my hand or my status as a Saintess sent by the Goddess of Nature, I could feel the awkwardness of the Elf girl walking beside me.

"Just tell me what you know. I already know that incident is related to the remnants of the Goddess of Destruction’s worshippers who want to summon the Goddess of Destruction to descend to this mortal world again," I said while walking leisurely beside her.

Tap...

Tap...

At this pace, I felt like it would be a bit of a long journey, and that was confirmed by Aiko, who discovered various branches of the intricate underground cave.

[ Um, Supreme Commander, it seems like this underground cave is too wide and labyrinthine. ]

[ I didn’t find anything interesting to report other than the underground monsters. ]

With that report, I can only put hope in these Elf girls not to do anything suspicious.
