Chapter 1304: Back To The Dungeon, Again
After I finished eating my breakfast, we immediately moved to the Dungeon. Felicia was very excited to investigate it. Although I told her that we had to first take care of the Miasmic Nest, she wanted to explore every damn floor. But we insisted that she could have all the time she wanted later.
FLUOSH!
As we stepped out of the blue portal, we landed right in front of the church of the Eden Village, there were Arboren walking around going from place to place, but everyone quickly noticed our presence and arrival, even more when I came with several people that looked like
me.
And I meant non-plant people, which many had already recognized as "the race of the gods" which was totally wrong, but what else could I do anyways? These people just believed whatever they wanted...
"Goddess Sylphy, you're back already? So soon!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Selene ran towards us as quickly as possible.
Usually a few hours outside would be a few days, a week sometimes.
But thanks to the time acceleration being halted, there was no difference in time.
"Yes, I've adjusted the dungeon's time acceleration to be similar to where we came from, so there was no delay," I said. "How are things going?"
"E-Erm..." she wanted to answer, but seeing my whole group, Selene felt slightly nervous. "Wow, she's really a talking plant woman, amazing!" said Celeste.
"She's an Arboren person? Selene was her name?" Celica wondered. "Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Celica, and I am Sylphy's friend!"
Selene gasped as she saw them, their Auras of Mana and Magic Power were out of this world too, just like mine.
"T-They're strong, Lady Celica and - Who is your name, goddess?" she asked Celeste.
"Goddess?! I'm not a goddess!" Celeste facepalmed. "Just call me Celeste... I don't really remember well if we ever visited this place, did we or did we not?"
"Eh, it doesn't matter, I am fairly sure you never introduced yourselves anyways," I said. "Oh right, this is my father, Selene!"
Selene then looked up to my father, who was taller than her, his bright red hair and orange eyes made him look like a god of fire, I bet. His Aura surpassed everyone here, even mine.
"Nice to meet you, lady Selene," he smiled gallantly. "My name is Allan, I was once known as the Hero of Blazing Sword, but I don't think I am what you could consider a hero anymore... I've committed many mistakes, too many in my life. But if I can, I would gladly help."
"Oooh! Of course, god Allan! You must be an even more supreme god if you're the father of goddess Sylphy! What honor!" Selene was melting out of fascination. "We've only interacted with Goddess Aquarina so far! These are big news, we must update the pantheon, add more statues too!"
"Ahem, please don't forget about me," Felicia stepped forward. "I am Felicia, Alchemist Extraordinaire. And I love investigating and researching new things, especially you! Just what kind of being are you? Your body is made of plants, completely. Several different plants, but merged together into a single, intelligent being! You call yourselves Arboren? This is an incredible discovery! Plant people! Around the entire world, there is no such tribe, not even the demons have something like you!"
She looked utterly fascinated, grabbing Selene's hand, checking her shoulders, taking a small leaf from her long hair, and analyzing even her eyes.
"Just how do you make it possible for your body to look so human like? This bark is smooth as skin," she said. "And your hair- well, leaves and flowers, it's quite amazing."
"She used to look different, Selene went through an evolution and became like this, looking very human-like. Before, she was a combination of different plants, vegetables, and such," I explained. "She had the face of a giant sunflower, right Selene?"
"Oh yes! I was born from the soil of this dungeon; the unified essence of the Harvest Familiars of Goddess Sylphy gave birth to my being! I am the Saintess of the Arboren, nice to meet you everyone," she bowed her head. "I shall do my best to serve the gods well!"
"Enough with calling us gods, we're just people like you guys, don't call us like that..." Allan sighed. "We've just come to help, nothing else."
"Ah yes, so humble, just like goddess Sylphy! She doesn't like being called a goddess either!" Selene giggled. "But we know that she is! After all, who else could make our world but a god?"
"That's... fair enough," my dad nodded. "Nobody else here could ever do what she did, you could say she's a goddess in some things, my little princess has come a long way."
"Wait, so only goddess Sylphy can make worlds? Fascinating! She must be the most important then!" Selene nodded, writing things down from a book she took out of nowhere. "Yes, yes, we shall add this to the holy scriptures!"
"Gosh, dad, you're giving her even more material..." I sighed. "A-Anyways! I want to introduce them to Ivy and Bark, we'll be going with them to the Nest, Selene."
"Oh! Of course, please come here," Selene nodded. "After waking up and eating, Ivy and Selene had been checking on the soldiers and helping the recover their stamina and strength, while also practicing magic. My own magic was already good, but thanks to the magic circle you gifted me, goddess Sylphy, I've become even more proficient!"
"Well done then," I nodded. "Oh, there they are! Ivy, Bark! Come here."
Ivy and Bark, who were instructing soldiers, quickly came rushing here.
As everything happened, dad, Celeste, and Celica couldn't help but gasp at the scenes around them, looking at the big village with so many plant people and everything.
"Sylphy has sure been hiding this well..." Celeste said.
"It's truly fascinating in every sense..." Celica nodded.
"Yeah, even I am shocked, I can tell why she got so involved now..." dad said.
"It is fascinating, yes!" Felicia said. "I think I'll go on a stroll around town. I'll see you later."
"W-Wait!" I tried to stop her, but Felicia just ran off on her own. "Uggh... Ah."
"Goddess Sylphy, did you call for duty? Are we going now?" Bark wondered. "Huh?! Who are these people? New Gods?!"
"Yep, looks like it," Ivy nodded.
