Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Behind Charlie, there were a few faces that Elsa had seen before - but these people had died in the vampire attack in the accident more than a year ago.

No, it should be said that everyone, including Charlie in front of us, should have died a year ago.

……

------------

464, Adele

Strangely, Charlie and the adventurers in front of them seemed to know nothing about the arrival of Elsa and the Star God - they followed a spider-like familiar of a fellow wizard, with Charlie, a swordsman, and a warrior holding a broad axe leading the way, as if they were looking for something in the forest.

"Charlie."

Elsa subconsciously called out softly, but Charlie didn't respond at all. She gently swung a sword and swept it past Elsa's cheek, chopping off the weeds and dead branches. Under Elsa's complicated gaze, Charlie just walked past Elsa.

"This place...isn't reality."

Elsa sighed softly.

Elsa had actually realized this a long time ago - now, it has been confirmed.

"So, what is this place? I was clearly sleeping just now... Is this a dream? My dream?"

Elsa has not dreamed since she came to this world. She has almost forgotten what the experience in a dream should be like. She has heard that some people can control their dreams and still retain their self-consciousness in dreams.

Is it like this now?

But the question was, why was her dream set here? A year ago, Xia Li was murdered here. So, was this a recurrence of that time? Then, why did the Star God appear here?

Or was this Star God just a dream creation of Elsa? Dreams don't require logic, so anything that appears isn't surprising.

What a strange dream.

But, is it really... a dream?

Everything here seemed so real, including Charlie and the adventurers. Could dreams really shape everything so meticulously? No, if this were a dream, then she wouldn't necessarily notice anything unusual. But Elsa had a feeling, an inexplicable feeling, that this wasn't a dream, but something else.

She didn't know why she was so sure, but Elsa's intuition was always accurate and she trusted her intuition.

Elsa slowly raised her hand and looked at the palm of her hand. She clearly saw that her hand had passed directly through a fallen leaf. Now she seemed to have no entity.

Strange feeling.

A lot of questions suddenly arose in my heart.

But...anyway, now, here, it should be a replay of what happened on that day a year ago.

Elsa felt a sense of suffocation in her heart for the first time in a long time. She stared at Xia Li's back, then glanced at the Star God who was huddled aside. After thinking for a while, she followed Xia Li and the others.

"Hey? Lady Aisha, where are you going..."

"I'll follow and see."

"Ah? Please, please don't leave me!" The Star God hurriedly chased after her, but did not dare to get too close to Elsa.

Elsa glanced at the Star God and ignored her.

Her intuition told her that the Star God before her was probably not her "dream creation", but the real Star God himself.

"You just said that I brought you here?"

"Ah? Um... isn't that right..."

"I don't have the time for that," Aisha rolled her eyes at the Star God. She didn't bother explaining his inexplicable guess and asked directly, "Then do you know where this place is?"

The Star God seemed to be hesitant about whether she should answer Elsa's question. In her opinion, Elsa was asking questions even though she knew the answer, just like the bad taste of an interrogator when punishing a prisoner.

Elsa saw the hesitation in the Star God's heart at a glance - the Star God seemed really afraid of her.

Could it be that she looks like she has a cannibalistic face?

She sighed and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, Star God, do you have a name?"

"what?"

"'Star God' is just your title, right? Just like 'Hero' is to Madeleine—wouldn't it be awkward for you to be called that all the time?"

The Star God was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Elsa with a slight ripple.

Name, what an ancient thing it is.

She is a god, but a god that no one believes in, a god that no one cares about, no one recognizes, no one follows, and no one has a name. She has always been alone, living in obscurity, and no one has ever asked about her name.

Only gods like Grame or even Sabrina are qualified to speak their own names so that the world can follow, praise and sing their praises. For the star gods, names seem ridiculous and redundant.

Why did Aisha suddenly ask this...

The Star Goddess suddenly became quiet. She hesitated for a moment and bit her lip lightly.

"Lady Aisha...you can call me whatever you like..."

The Star God's attitude was very respectful, even humble - if you ignore the Star God's annoying face and his stupid brain, the Star God always gave people a pitiful impression in front of Elsa. If it were in his previous life, he might be mistaken for a poor child bullied by Elsa.

"Is this also the rule of your Age of Gods?"

Aisha looked at the Star God, stared at his evasive gaze, and suddenly smiled.

"Put all that aside. The Age of Gods is over."

The Star God didn't seem to agree with Elsa's statement. After all, the Star God was not stupid. She had seen too many people who said one thing in public and another behind the scenes. Those arrogant guys were always polite on the surface, but that was just politeness. If you took other people's self-deprecating beautiful words seriously, then the Star God would be in trouble.

But, although this was the fact, the Star God also understood that if he did not even take the other party's polite words seriously, then the Star God would still be the one to suffer.

So now she can only be extremely cautious.

Facing Elsa, she thought about it and seemed to have no other choice but to answer. She could only choose her tone and say:

"My name is... Adele..."

"It's a beautiful name."

Elsa praised sincerely, and the Star God showed a surprised expression.

"Then I'll call you Adele, and you can call me Elsa—no need to add 'admire'."

Elsa didn't think it was a very interesting thing to be called "Lady Elsa" by an old guy who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. What's more, Elsa didn't really like the Star God always treating her with such a fearful attitude - that didn't make people feel very comfortable.

For a moment, the Star God didn't know how to answer, or rather, whether he should respond.

She was really too cautious when facing Elsa.

Elsa didn't care. After all, some things really weren't easy to change. After thinking about it, she went back to the previous question.

"So, Adele, do you know what this place is?"

……

------------

465. Dream?

Because Adele had been sure that it was Elsa who brought her here, and seemed to know something about this place, that's why Elsa asked this question.

As soon as Elsa finished speaking, the Star God - Adele showed an uneasy expression.

"This...isn't yours...?"

"It's not me. Don't make random guesses. I don't know how I got here either—so, I hope you can give me an answer."

"Ah I……"

"Space magic is your area of ​​expertise, right?"

The magic that Adele is best at is space magic. She has a deep attainment in space magic, at least surpassing most gods. Otherwise, how could she, a mere wild god without believers, survive from the Age of Gods to today by her own strength.

"Well……"

Adele still had some doubts about Elsa's words, but now she had no other choice. She carefully considered her tone and said:

“…This is…space.”

"space?"

“A space, a flawless independent space…”

Adele quickly added.

This is a completely unfamiliar space for Adele. Even the Star God doesn't know where this place is or when it was formed. In her opinion, this is a very exquisite space. Everything is so natural, without any sense of spatial distortion or dislocation, as if this is really an independent world.

"But I don't know where this place is, or how far it is from Ryan Karnia... Moreover, time seems to have stopped here..."

Ryan Carnia, which is the name of the Ryan Carnia continent, is probably referred to as the world itself.

"Is time stagnant?"

It was clearly flowing, so why did it stop? Charlie just walked past here.

Elsa wanted to ask something more, but at this time, the warrior holding the broad axe spoke, which attracted Elsa's attention. Elsa and the star god Adele followed Xia Li and several adventurers and had walked a short distance. Elsa observed the forest around her, and the sense of déjà vu slowly pulled her thoughts back to a year ago.

"Miss Bran, please be careful with your steps. The forest here is too dense and the visibility is not very good. It would be bad if you stepped on a trap."

The warrior holding the broad axe is a tall woman with a cheerful personality. She is wearing heavy armor and is the vanguard of the team.

She reminded Charlie.

Elsa walked directly between the warrior and Charlie, looked at the warrior, and then looked at Charlie, but the warrior and Charlie did not notice Elsa, and their eyes naturally penetrated through Elsa's shadow.

At this time, Star God Adele looked at Charlie strangely, as if she had finally realized something belatedly - she widened her eyes and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Huh?! This... isn't this the white-haired one...?"

This white-haired girl… well, even though her hair had turned into a beautiful golden color and the color of her eyes had changed, the Star God still recognized Xia Li’s appearance.

So, this white-haired guy was also brought here? Was this Elsa continuing the punishment she had just given him in the bathroom?

That's not right. It seems that this white-haired creature is the "property" of this space...

Star God Adele became increasingly confused about the current situation.

"Her name is Charlie—Charlie Bran." Elsa didn't hide anything and said, "What you saw was her a year ago. She died at this time, so she became a vampire, and her body also stayed at this time."

"Ah? What are vampires..."

"There are no vampires in the Age of Gods?"

"I, I don't understand what you mean..."

It seems that the Age of Gods is a little different from what we imagined, but Elsa doesn't have time to slowly explain the definition of vampires to Adele now, so she just continues to follow Charlie.

Elsa searched through her memories from a year ago. She recalled that the warrior holding the broad axe was called Sinead, an outstanding bronze medal adventurer. She and the other adventurers here were members of the same adventurer team, and Charlie was an "outsider" who followed them. Charlie was skilled, easy to get along with, and the mayor's daughter, so she was quite popular and was indeed a very good teammate.

Elsa still remembered that the commission that Charlie had taken on was to find the missing Black Iron adventurers in the forest. The commission was issued by the guild, and the reward was relatively generous. It only required confirming the life or death of those people. In fact, everyone knew that these missing adventurers must have died in the forest, so usually they only needed to bring back some things that could be used as keepsakes, such as wearable accessories, weapons, etc., to complete the commission. So generally speaking, this commission was an easy job.

But at this time, no one knew that the guy who caused the disappearance of those Black Iron adventurers was actually a powerful and brutal vampire - Becky's former master.

When she thought of this, Aisha's face turned gloomy.

Looking at Charlie and the adventurers who were completely oblivious to the impending danger, Elsa subconsciously reached for Charlie's hand, but it easily slipped through Charlie's palm.

"Tsk."

Elsa was rarely shocked, which made Adele beside her terrified.

"Charlie!"

Elsa called out, but of course, there was no response.

Adele glanced at Elsa and saw that her expression gradually became gloomy for some reason. She looked at Charlie again - could it be... because of that white-haired guy?

"Trap?" Charlie tightened the weapon in her hand. From her perspective, Elsa and the star god Adele did not exist.

"Well, those goblin traps—some time ago, someone reported to the guild that a goblin settlement had appeared here. Those ugly green-skinned ghosts are very difficult to deal with. If you accidentally fall into their trap, it will be terrible. Those guys smear dirty excrement on the spikes to act as poison. No, that stuff is more annoying than poison, Miss Bran, I believe you would not like to be pricked by that thing."

Charlie swallowed, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous. She sniffed subconsciously, and fortunately there was no smell of feces in the air, which made her relax a little.

"In that case, could it be that those missing people were caused by... goblins?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. If we happen to fall into a goblin trap, our Iron-rank strength won't be enough to deal with those cunning opponents. You know, while goblins are generally very weak individually, they're very cunning, and the forest just so happens to be their home turf."

"Well, thank you for the reminder, Sinead. I will be careful."

"Haha, there's no need to be too nervous. Our familiars will detect danger in advance. We just need to be prepared like we did during training."
