Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 413 - 5 - A Rush Order

After dividing the important tasks to Mio and my twin sister, I immediately summoned Momo to create a teleportation slash that connected the vast forest to Duchess Kaori’s outermost territory.

The letter sent by Duchess Kaori undoubtedly traveled a long way, taking several days to reach Marquess Rommel’s residence. A reply to this important letter was required immediately to approve the construction of the Temple of the Goddess of Destruction within Duchess Kaori’s domain.

While holding the handle of the cursed Odachi and slashing the air beside me, it created a teleportation slash that connected to Duchess Kaori’s territory.

Sllaasshh!!

I still vividly remember her region who infested with troublesome plant monsters. Simply slashing their stems or branches wasn’t enough to kill them. Thanks to the blessing of the Goddess of Destruction, I was able to defeat one of the plant monster cores that was invading Duchess Kaori’s domain. While that didn’t solve her current problem, it was enough to erase one of the root causes.

"I’ll be going... please take care of this military expedition to get ready to leave after I return, Mio," I said to Mio before entering the teleportation slash that opened beside me.

"I understand, Lily-sama. Madam Estelle and I will take care of this military expedition so we can prepared to leave after you back, Lily-sama. U-Umm... If Lily-sama allows it, could we do the same thing as before? Like sending a scout unit first to enter the deepest part of the forest after receiving a briefing from Miss Lisa?" Mio replied while making a reasonable suggestion.

I hadn’t thought of it before, but with Lisa’s ability to know the deepest parts of the forest and underground locations that the Forest Elf race had already known, it would make this military expedition even more effective.

"That’s a great idea, you have my permission to do that, Mio," I replied as I slowly entered the teleportation slash.

By granting Mio permission, I was effectively granting her the authority to carry out this military expedition on my behalf. I knew she possessed considerable experience in military tactics and a keen sense of judgment after having worked as a maid for a long time. So I could relax for a moment to respond to Duchess Kaori’s urgent letter.

"Thank you very much, Lily-sama."

"I will try to carry out this task to the best of my ability as someone you can trust," Mio replied, bowing respectfully.

I walked into the teleportation slash after seeing Sia and my twin sister flying high in the sky to carry out an important task, to make an accurate map.

For such an accurate map, I can rely on Alyssa’s incredible memory and Alice’s ability to spot even the slightest irregularities. Combined with my twin sisters’ geniuses, it’s certainly a fairly easy task for them to accomplish.

Furthermore, Mio and Madam Estelle will be working together to covering my important tasks, while I’m away. The military officers is also aware of the current situation, and the Black Maid unit is working behind the scenes to ensure no information leaks regarding anything discovered during this military expedition.

Just in case, I also sent out some messages to the stealth slime herd to guard the perimeter around forest and keep all of Marquess Rommel’s knights safe.

For a more specific task, I will order Aiko to do something important.

"Aiko, are you busy to doing something for me, right now?" I asked Aiko on the Soul Tame communication channel as I continued walking into the teleportation slash that opened beside me.

[ I’m not busy at the moment, Supreme Commander. ]

[ Is there any task you would like to give me specifically? ]

"Yes, there is one important task that you must do at this time," I replied while glancing at my magic staff that was stuck in the ground and was still running a magic circle formation that mapped the surrounding area.

I had connected my magic core to the magic staff resonance to ensure that the magic circle formation was not interrupted, even though I was far away. But... there an problem about it.

Since the location of the dense forest is too far from Duchess Kaori’s territory, I might not be able to feel the resonance of my magic staff, and the magic circle formation that mapping this forest will be destroyed, resulting in my magic core’s connection to my magic staff being cut off.

Some information has been obtained, but if more detailed information can be obtained, it would be even better. The role of the magic circle formation, which still mapping the surrounding area, becomes important part to do information gathering and to get detailed information too.

The distance between this dense forest and the town center of Marquess Arisawa Von Bloomgard is not too far, because it is still around the border of Marquess Rommel’s territory, and I can still feel the resonance of my magic staff. However, for Duchess Kaori’s territory, which requires weeks by horse carriage, I prefer not to risk failure because I feel the distance is too far to feel the resonance of my magic staff.

"Your job is to guard my magic staff and maintain the active magic circle formation."

"Can you do that, Aiko?"

[ I-I guard the Supreme Commander’s magic staff? ]

[ I-Is that okay? ]

"I chose you because you are the only stealth slime that has a large magical energy capacity."

"Just think of it as a precautionary measure..."

"I’ve connected my magic core to my magic staff to maintain the active magic circle formation, but with the long distance that would take weeks to travel... I’m not confident enough to feel the resonance of my magic staff, Aiko," I said as I continued walking inside the teleportation slash.

[ S-Sure... I-I will be back immediately, Supreme Commander! ]

"Yes, hurry back, I’ve already entered the teleportation slash..."

[ Ehh! Already moving? I wasn’t even ready to go back so quickly, Supreme Commander! ]

"You can run fast or throw your body to fly through the air, right?"

[ I-I could do that, but... isn’t it a bit too sudden for this particular task? ]

"This is indeed a sudden task, Aiko."

"And I trusting you..."

"I even hate this sudden assignment too, you know."

"If only this didn’t involve the worshippers of the Goddess of Destruction, I definitely wouldn’t have done something as troublesome as this."

"You have three minutes to come back and guard my magic staff, Aiko."

[ HUUUEEE!! JUST THREE MINUTES! ]

[ I WILL BE BACK IMMEDIATELY, SUPREME COMMANDER! ]

After hearing Aiko’s answer, I quickened my pace to walk out of the teleportation slash.

Tap...

Tap...

Srrriinngg!!

The moment my footsteps left the teleportation slash, what I feared immediately happened.

The dazzling sunlight during the day was a sign that I had moved from a forest to an empty place filled with rotting plants.

I remember this place, where Jeanne and Furina met and had a slight misunderstanding. But it ended well after their experiences were similar to each other, as they sought to repent after becoming infidels and practicing the Goddess of Destruction’s false teachings.

"A dense forest area during the day is much fresher than an area that looks like a wasteland like this, huh?" I muttered as I closed my teleportation slash and felt the resonance effect of my magic core with my magic staff decreasing.

I had expected this and was upset when it actually happened.

"The resonance of my magic core with my magic staff has really decreased..."

"Duchess Kaori’s territory is indeed far away," I grumbled as I walked straight ahead.

My current goal is to meet Jeanne and Furina. I have to do troublesome things like this to ascertain their main goal of building the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction in Duchess Kaori’s territory.

As a Duchess who is still part of the Aurora Kingdom, she must be aware that the Aurora Kingdom only recognizes the Goddess Aurora and has built a magnificent Aurora Goddess Temple in the Capital of the Aurora Kingdom.

Establishing the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction would be tantamount to opening a new religious sect and expanding its reach. If the Shrine of the Goddess of Destruction were truly built, it would not only be a war against the heretical sect officially declared by Duchess Kaori. It would also defy the current royal family’s decision to worship the Goddess Aurora.

"That’s going to be another heated political issue, huh?" I muttered, understanding the potential problems that lay ahead.

"Can I relax a little bit, as a Saintess?" I continued muttering as I transformed into the Monarch of Holy Destruction.

Blaassttt...

Blaassttt...

The moment my body transformed into the Monarch of Holy Destruction, I could feel the resonance of Jeanne and Furina’s magic, who were somewhere along with the other followers of the Goddess of Destruction.

The resonance I could feel made me want to run to meet them and finish my business quickly.

Leaving my responsibility as the leader of the military expedition to Mio would undoubtedly be a hassle. Even with Madam Estelle and the Black Maid unit’s assistance, Mio still has a few things on her plate. One of them is taking care of my genius twin sisters.

Who knows what trouble Alice and Alyssa will cause while I’m gone?

I don’t want that to happen...

As much as possible, I must be able to reply to the messages sent by Jeanne and Furina before dusk.

Baassshhh...

Using the blessing bestowed by the Goddess of Destruction, I immediately ran at full speed. It wasn’t exactly a run, but rather, I kicked my legs back and let myself be propelled forward.

Since I’m in Monarch of Holy Destruction mode, I could accidentally damage something. So I limited my power to agility, though it could still destroy the ground I walk on.

Swoossshh...

Swoosh...

I was thrown forward rapidly, only to see a black castle wall in the distance. Because I was being flung forward at a speed I couldn’t accurately measure, I didn’t realize that the area around me was littered with the corpses of plant monsters.

Unable to control my body that was speeding up to stop freely, I used the Sakura Dash technique to leap myself into the sky.

Swwwaaasshh!!

It wasn’t too bad, and I could see a large town surrounded by stone walls, like a town built inside a castle. Considering what Duchess Kaori had been through, it was natural that they would use the castle as a makeshift town to shelter from the plant monsters.

"Not too bad for a makeshift town and not too crowded either," I muttered as I observed the results of Duchess Kaori’s hard work during her time in the disaster.

"By the way, what should I do after this?" I continued muttering, not thinking about the consequences of my rash actions when launching myself up to the sky.
