"I-, I’m just looking for fresh air. The academy’s area is relatively safe because not just anyone can enter this private realm. The only concern is the monsters from the forest." Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief when spotted Ely was there.
She recognized the three boys behind, and the gallant-looking young man in front. Ely and the green-haired girl with nature magic were there, but she couldn’t recognize this golden-haired Goddess-like mature lady. This lady’s presence was so bright and beautiful!
"..." Dorothy trailed the golden-haired lady starting from the super long wavy golden hair, mesmerizing golden eyes, enchanting face, plump bust, thin waist, hot curvy hips, and thick thighs.
This lady was also pretty tall and blessed by an angel-like beauty, but exuded a typical superior overbearing aura.
’Do we have such a beautiful professor?’ Dorothy gulped her saliva, wondering in awe.
"Then, you should go back to the dormitory and take a good rest. You have three weeks ahead of others. Make use of this opportunity wisely." Elysia gave a piece of good advice.
"Yeah, you’re right. There are lots of things I can do there. Goodnight, Ely. You should also go back to the dormitory." Dorothy thought about it and nodded in understanding.
"We’re on our way back to the dorms. Mm, take care." Elysia waved her hand.
Dorothy also waved her hand and left the park. They parted ways there. She believed that she would meet Ely and the golden-haired angelic professor again tomorrow. She was unaware that it would be the last time she could meet them, at least in several years. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖

By the time Elysia returned to the mansion, everyone greeted her warmly. The feast was placed in the living room and everyone enjoyed the family dinner that night.
The monster army’s executives were also invited to enjoy the dinner, and the festivities continued until nearly midnight. The last event before the bed would be storytelling and the lecture about magic, back to basics.
"We should look at the world beyond the boundaries of our thoughts. Our magic can grow with even the slightest of change, including our development. The basic essence of magic is about how we cast it, the process. We can modify and alter it once you understand the secrets of magical principles and your own powers." Elysia demonstrated her magic.
She cast a holy light ball that wouldn’t harm dark attributes and a demonic energy ball that could heal a nature spirit. Everything originated from within, creating a new possibility, not always about following the common magical principles.
As long as they had the affinities, they could command their talents, skills, and proficiencies to achieve the result that no one had ever expected before.
"I can achieve this feat. Ely’s teaching has inspired me about all elements of my life. If I want it, my holy light will not harm the demon or evil spirit as long as they are not hostile." Ella raised her hand and showed off her holy light ball.
Just like the other sisters, she also did many things and progressed further during the five years of separation in Quadtria.
"My holy light will always suppress and eliminate the evil spirits, no matter if they are hostile or not... My control over magic is still low." Lucia looked at her hands.
"It’s okay. We should enjoy the process. If you practice diligently, it’s only a matter of time before you reach high-level control over your magic." Evelyn patted Lucia’s back. She recalled her initial journey to comprehend the profound lightning magic, and Lucia’s gaze was similar to hers at that time.
"For a five-year-old child... really, I still find that a bit hard to accept." Sylvia muttered under her breath. Lucia could be considered a baby but with a ripe mature body.
The only thing that made her feel a bit intimidated was because Lucia already possessed a dark blue aura, the Spirit-level power since birth. With that kind of start, Lucia achieved feats equivalent to at least the experience of a priestess for hundreds of years.
With this level of progress, Lucia could achieve godhood in only about ten years without their help. However, this Blessed Spirit received Elysia’s favor.
"Hum..." Sylvia tried to take better control over her demonic magic. She also wished to see her magic with different effects based on her desire, but she still couldn’t reach Ella’s level. After failing for the second time, she asked the demoness next to her. "Can you alter or combine it?"
"It’s super difficult. It’s a return to basics about magic, but it feels like the advanced secret of magic." Jophiel also failed, but she was still beaming with motivation.
"This is the basics about the divine magic, perhaps. Our master’s standards are different from ours, and that’s what makes things interesting." Gabriella shared her understanding.
"O-oh~" Jophiel and the nearby disciples were enlightened.
Most of the Elysium members achieved absolute control over their magic like Ella, but some had yet to master it. Dory was one of those who had yet to grasp her own true power.
"So, it’s like this. Once I master this method, I can achieve a greater feat with less effort." Dory began to imagine her sound magic could cause an unimaginable result.
"My Lord, have you achieved this kind of feat?" Amy asked in a whisper.
"It’s an easy thing if you delve into it further. It’s just that Elysia’s understanding of laws is much deeper than I thought. She manifested it with her creation divinity, not altering it from the original casting. She literally created her own magic laws." He-Dao demonstrated it, but he could only do what Elysia taught to everyone, not copy the exact same magic casting process.
"Hmm..." Amy studied her Lord’s holy light ball closely and pondered it for a few seconds.
That attribute wouldn’t harm her or affect her darkness element. Her Lord said the casting process was different, but she couldn’t differentiate between this one and Elysia’s.
"Wait. Don’t tell me you still haven’t achieved the absolute control?" He-Dao raised his eyebrow. He recalled about it, and what came to mind was pure chaos.
Amy was one of the five highest Heavenly Agents. However, every time Amy used her divine power, she could do nothing but destroy everything.
"..." Amy looked at the ground, responding with a silent confirmation. She still couldn’t control her divine power, and destruction would be uncontrollable once she used it in battle. Even allies could be killed by her power without her knowing it.
"Hmm, then you need to study this lesson further. That’s not a problem actually because you are a pure damage dealer." Yuna comforted Amy as she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with a damage dealer to only knew how to cause damage.
"But, I was still beaten up by that Heavenly Demon. Under certain suppression, I couldn’t unleash most of my ultimate moves. Also, my speed is still so slow. I need to find a solution to my drawbacks, considering we will be fighting against the Nirvana Abbysal Demons soon." Amy shook her head.
She clenched her fist and raised her head, looking at Elysia with a burning gaze. A strong desire to raise her independent power to the next level. Private guidance from the strong was required, similar to what Yuna did.
"Five minutes before midnight. They should arrive soon." Elena reminded everyone, pointing to the clock.
"Alright. Let’s wrap it up for today. Please rest in my storage pouch abode, and we’ll wake you up once the war is about to break out." Elysia opened her storage pouch.
"But, master. I wish to stay by your side..." Jophiel pulled the hem of her master’s sleeve.
"Be a good girl. He should arrive soon, and we will leave this private realm." Elysia gave Jophiel a head pat.
"Jophi listens to master." Jophiel complied and entered the storage pouch abode. The other disciples immediately followed suit.
As for Elysium members, only several girls listened to Elysia. The remaining ones wished to stay by Elysia’s side. They were still in their prime condition because they did not exert much force during the spar event in their master mini-absolute domain.
"We’re already at the level where losing sleep for a few days won’t cause anything. You can rest easy, master." Yuuki explained with reassurance.
"Alright. You can stay. What about you, Dory? You will be the Supreme Commander for this world boss raid. Are you ready to punish the Polluted Sea God and her forces?" Elysia nodded and turned to Dory.
"I will lead the entire force to ensure the Polluted Sea God’s demise, master." Dory knelt down and put her hand on her chest.
"I shall bestow you the buff of an Empress." Elysia cast a high-level buff divine magic. She amplified Dory’s overall stats by 150%, specifically for INT by 200%, and the buff would last for a day.
<| Lv. 162 | Dorienne Lorelei | Saint Mermaid | Female (186) |>
<| Talent: 5 Stars | UR |>
<| STR: 30(+45) | AGI: 42(+63) | VIT: 52(+78) | INT: 51(+102) |>
Elysia checked Dory’s status screen with a satisfied expression. Dory’s original stats were similar to Yuuki’s in their first encounter, excluding the buff.
Even though Elysia indirectly raised everyone’s talent to UR and fate because of their soul bonds to her... unfortunately, Dory was currently the weakest in the Elysium Family.
With this boost, Dory should be fine because, with those stats, Dory could overpower the Emperor-level expert.
"Show me your might on the battlefield." Elysia raised her hand.
"Leave it to me, master." Dory stood up and responded with great respect. She could feel great magical power flowing throughout her body.
