A Spirit of Queen Ravina thrown into a blighted Spiritual Construct was still a time bomb, the only reassurance being she wasn't the real Vania but rather only her siphoned spirit?
Along with the fact that unlike Vania she had actually had to attempt to enter The Sacred Realm meaning she was no doubt weaker but still a menace to deal with? Vania could create husks and perfect beings.
All of which was a mystery meaning no one knew how she did it not even Jade who had actually tried to be her bestie at one point?
Jade herself had came up with the theory that she simply created both the husks and perfect beings herself through the cloning of her bloodlines and cacoons?
Meaning she could use all her collected bloodlines in mass and produce as many of either if she had both the time and resources?
Another scary part of the theory was the fact that she was rumored to simply impart the knowledge into such cocoons and when they hatch they could quite literally pop out as someone in the Legendary Realm with gifted experience!
All of which was entirely plausible for Vania while this one despite only being a fragment of her spirit could also have the same abilities.
Meaning even with so many puppets if someone throws enough Legendary Realms at you war of attrition would go straight out of the window!
Of course, these were Aurea's thoughts combined with that of Jade's and parts of what the young prince had discovered causing him to then adorably nod and accept Sephy's last offer.
Resulting in each of his forty-four puppets being equipped with Temple Guard Puppet kits, and the young prince to then adorably activating the ninety Temple Guard Puppets before then simply explaining such theories.
With both Yunari and the thirteen other Legendary Puppets in the hopes of hearing suggestions after updating The Temple Guard Commander Puppets on the situation as a whole while Sephy was quite literally styling his hair.
After conjuring up that of a fusion of white and Starlight Silver Ceremonial Holy Princess Armored Dress, boots, and Crown covered in beautiful Elf Royal Patterns and that of The Elf Holy Princess counterparts?
Giving the young prince the appearance of both an Elf Holy Princess and Princess in a holy light before then simply adding the priestess bits be it the Starlight Silver Jewelry, Priestess Vail, make-up, and so forth.
Causing the young prince having had felt more like an extravagant doll to then helplessly pout while the others planned the rest.
"Temples of Selphine have numerous defenses that were unfortunately not activated during your last engagement?"
"The Altar Itself is quite literally packed with magic suppression that would indeed be capable of suppressing that of several High-Level Sacred Mages, along with Mage Pylon Defenses hidden within many of the ornate fixtures?"
"If truly needed you need only contain her using that of the others on the Altar Itself, unfortunately, the fact alone that she had managed to enter such a holy place only means she managed to enter as a Priestess of Selphine?"
Commander Gospel briefly explained.
"Meaning even if she doesn't know where they are, she'd still suspect they exist and be wary of where she stands?"
"Only The Head Priestess, Commanders of The Temple Guards of Selphine, and ourselves could truly activate them, minus the exception to that of The Head Priestess, The Grand Priestess, Holy Princesses, Holy Spirits, and Lady Selphine herself?"
Commander Gospel briefly added having already known the young prince was one of the sections since Lady Sephy refused to actively involve herself or reveal her existence to possibly adhere to her own guidelines?
Meaning The First Prince of The Elves would be a clear target?
Fortunately, that thing was out of the loop meaning he could simply hide the fact that he was a boy and appear as a mere Priestess to take him out of the line of fire?
As long as he continuously uses Light Magic she simply wouldn't notice a Mid-Level Archmage?
Of course, there's also a chance she could simply attack him first since, to be frank, she wasn't an idiot, that fact was made abundantly clear from the last known engagement meaning he'd be the one to protect the young holy prince.
Causing Yunari to then nod having understood the same along with the others before then curiously remembering something.
"The Blight was abnormally stronger than the average Blight and since she had killed them all after they lost their use I suspect we'd be facing much fiercer resistance, only know despite such numbers we are lacking in Legendary Mages?"
"I suggest if all else fails that belonging to The Celestial Element and five of your commander distract and divert the unknown forces we may suspect while you leave two to protect his holiness?
"While the remaining three attempt to seal her inside of a containment barrier if all else fails? I'm not very optimistic even with our numbers, we no longer have the Void Elements on the field and unless we risk awakening those puppets I fear it won't be enough?"
Commander Yunari confessed causing the young prince to then adorably touch his Void Golden Necklace.
Before then simply going to the workshop and placing both of The Legendary Void Commander Puppets on the table and simply listening to the necklace's whispers.
And switching to his Void Bloodline since Sylvia had already begun teaching the young prince several weeks ago meaning he had the basic understandings and even more basic control over The Apparent Void Royal Bloodline.
Meaning there was a chance after activating them that they'd listen to him? Causing him to then try just that?
Resulting in both eventually activating with enough mana before then subsequently activating and scanning the young prince's bloodlines.
"A Void Royal Bloodline Detected, Satara's Blessing Detected, Override Activated, The Mark of Satara Confirmed? Objectives? Life Gems extinguished, puppets unresponsive?"
"Unfortunate outcome? Should have brought more reinforcements, unfortunately, we simply weren't able?"
"No matter, we're short on time, a Corrupted Lesser Void Lord has been detected in The Altar of Selphine, recommend immediate response if able your highness?"
Commander Void estimated causing the second to then look to the young prince as well surprising him before then adorably nodding and handing him the Void Puppet Spacering that he had kept separate from both the corpses and kits?
Causing one to then nod before then surprisingly getting to work almost immediately while Commander Void had soon followed the young prince to the others causing both Yunari and Gospel to then nod.
And the young prince to then adorably reverts himself seeing as he didn't wish to really stay in such a bloodline while Yunari had soon updated Commander Void soon after.
Resulting in all three coordinating their forces, creating joint specialized squads to make up the distance, and evaluating their options causing the young prince having missed Desman to then adorably sigh and Gospel to then nod.
After what felt like an hour later all twenty void puppets had been tossed back together and requipped with temple guard kits by Sephy resulting in a total of sixteen squads lead by a Legendary Puppet leading mixed squads of ten each?
Resulting in it now being boosted to one hundred and fifty-six puppets in total?
Sixteen Legendary Command Puppets, and one hundred and forty Archmage Mage Legion puppets are quite diversified.
Whether it be Temple Guard Puppets of The Temple of Selphine, Mage Puppets of The Celestial Dragon Mage Legion, and Mage Puppets of The Void Dragon Mage Legion which in itself was quite bizarre in itself and ridiculously so!
Resulting in the young prince witnessing the formations themselves as if a joint army of three Kingdoms and Empire in that massive vault! Causing Jade to then teasingly whistle at the sight.
"Impressive! I knew you could do it bestie! To think Lady Sephy was here the entire time! Sad to hear most of the extermination squads didn't make it?"
"Thinking of extermination.. have you seen that Void Dragon around? If they managed to kill it outside of the Altar which was apparently sealed at that time you'd think it'll be somewhere?"
"Someone did pile those bodies and puppets so she probably snatched the corpse to reuse it again? Thinking of reusing things, why did this temple even have a Secret Blight Research Facilities? Do you think they have a spooky basement?!"
Jade happily asked causing the young prince to then adorably pout before then realizing there was quite little a small army looking towards him and Yunari, Void, and Gospel by his side causing the young prince to then seriously nod.
"Capture and contain bully!"
The young prince explained which in truth wasn't truly necessary since all the plans had already been approved.
And they only waited for inspection which the young prince had already done while Yunari simply patted his head causing the young prince to then adorably nod.
After leaving the fault and receiving a hug for good luck and a reminder of his rewards if he succeeded the young prince had soon allowed the commanders to do what they were best at since unlike them he didn't know how to lead and didn't want to attempt it.
Especially in a situation like this? If he did they'd be disorganized and a lot less effective! So for now the young prince remained in the middle of such a march while squads are sent ahead for recon until finally they were at the altar.
Resulting in several squads simply securing the large hallways and activating the defensive mage pylons be it the fixtures to their own equipment resulting in the hallways to anyone attempting to overwhelm them to ultimately become kill zones?
While the main force itself prepares for the opening of the massive door, something the young prince had decided to resulting in the door glowing in a holy light before then slowly opening revealing that of a massive ruined Altar of Selphine replaced with that of a throne?
While the room itself looked to fit thousands however it had apparently been converted into a massive throne room, banquet hall, and lounge with its own bar..
Confusing everyone and infuriating The Temple Guard Command Puppets since they did have some sentience?
And recognized the sheer desecration of the once holy sight! However, what was left was the altars to other gods which in truth were untouched and still quite pristine causing Yunari to then glare at the throne.
And the young prince to then finally notice a now awake Elf Priestess still wearing her pristine white robes of Selphine sitting on an extravagant starlight silver throne covered with holy scripture and patterns and surrounded by endless mist behind it as if hiding something?
The young Elf Priestess looked to be around Sura's age, she wore pristine white ceremonial priestess robes, a white veil, boots, and jewelry similar to that of the ceremonial attire he had found earlier?
All of which complimented her pristine white hair, eyes, and skin giving her an adorably holy charm surprising the young prince and causing him to unknowingly blush before then subsequently being cut off by an adorable giggle.
"What's little sister doing playing with dolls? It's been quite some time since I've seen another sister! I'm so happy to see you! I've just become a High-Level Sacred Priestess! So does that make me the Head Priestess now?! I have so much to tell little sister!"
"I killed all the blight so you needn't worry about those bullies! Oh, and I found a throne-"
She adorably explained not even taking the puppets themselves seriously as if they were truly dolls before then finally being cut off causing the young prince to then adorably shake his head.
"Don't be a bully big sister Vina! Aurel knows big sister Ravina and Aurel knows what Vina did! An-And why did Vina destroy big sister Selphie's Altar?! Wh-What did big sister Selphie ever do to Vina!"
"An-And where's my puppet?! Aurel took forever to build Desman an-and Aurel wants him back! You big bully! You Lesser Void Bully! Yo-You Smelly Blight Bully! You Fla-Flat chested bully Queen of Senex! Vania is a big bully but she didn't steal Aurel's puppet and destroy big sister Selphie's statue!"
The young prince adorably pouted surprising everyone including Vina having essentially been blindsided.
Resulting in her looking to the young prince in an adorably blank yet confused expression having apparently known so much already not to mention the bit about her being flat chested? Despite it all being true.. she simply felt unappreciated!
Causing her to then adorably nod.
"I like it! I suppose having a new one makes a lot more sense after all? Thanks, little sister! But you should really appreciate your big sister more often you know!"
