"Master, did it fail?" Elysium said as she spun around the chained-up soul while crossing her legs and looking at her master's chain, which suddenly seemed to have become even tighter as she could even see smoke floating around from the soul of her master as she could hear it sear as it burned her master's soul.
"Yes, it failed" the master said, not caring about the pain she was experiencing in her soul. That would even make people who can withstand the painful horror of eternal pain cry out in pain and agony from the pain that she is currently feeling, but such a level of pain could not really make her cry in pain or agony due to the fact that pain means nothing as long as she gets what she wants.
"Hahahahaha, master that was humiliating, kugh, ugk, I—I give up, forgive me, master" Elysium said as she first laughed at her master's failed attempt but suddenly felt a powerful force gripping her neck so tightly that no matter what she does, even using essence means nothing, as her essence disobeyed her.
"Hmmp! Ah, that's right, have you erased the mark on you that your mother placed on you when she found us?" The Master asked if Elysium had erased the mark that her mother hid deep between Elysium's Mla.
"What mark? I don't remember having such a thing on me" Elysium said as she heard her master just say it, but she doesn't remember being marked by her master's mother, much less getting close to her. She tried looking at her memories, and although some parts were gone due to her master sealing them, there seemed to be no problem in her memories.
"Don't tell me you're forced to forgot, this is even worse than I thought" The Master said as she looked at the confused Elysium, who seemed to have not found any problem in her memories. Although she sealed some of her memories, it shouldn't erase something crucial to the plan or something that might mess up their plan, so Elysium would notice any changes or anything in it that she had given her.
"Really, master, what mark is making me scared here?" Elysium said as she really did not feel any problem within herself or any anomaly within her Mla, making her scared as she might have messed up not noticing something like a mark within herself.
"Sigh. Never mind that the traps we have put around should have held her back for a bit if we were calculating now, she should appear in 2 second" the master said, as she seemed to be just waiting for something to appear and steeling herself for whatever's coming.
"What?" Elysium said, as she then felt a crack from the space behind her—a huge, cracked space behind them—as she tried to look behind to see the assailant, but before she could even see the assailant, she suddenly passed by her as the assailant was approaching her master's position.
"Ah! My dearest child, you are actually here, I finally found you!" The white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman shouted as she suddenly hugged the chained soul in front of her as she felt the non-existent temperature soul of her child within her bosoms. After a long time, she can finally once again hug her child.
"Hello mama, how've you been?" the master said awkwardly, as it has been a while since she saw her mother. Although there has been a bit of change about her, she still loves wine that is well refined by a master brewer.
"I'm fine, but why are you in chains again? Did something bad happen?" The white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman said as she looked at the chained-up soul in front of her, a child of her who had chained herself up every time she died for unknown reasons.
"Not really, mama, I just put myself here to um… learn, that's right, it's just learning" The master said, as she really did not have anything to say in this type of scenario, so she just said whatever first came to her mind.
"You know you couldn't fool me, right?" the white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman said as she caressed her child more as Elysium suddenly separated them both. Although a bit annoyed, she seems to not mind what just Elysium did.
"Excuse me, Madam, but master is currently doing a very important thing to do" Elysium said hastily as she stood in front of her master and the white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman.
"Elysium, what are you here for? I believed you're in Eve's place the last time I felt your existence" the white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman said, as she did feel that Elysium was in the focalor when she felt her mark infecting Elysium, although the mark seemed to be dissolving slowly, although Elysium did not notice it.
"Um, does returning to master a valid answer?" Elysium said, as she could not really fool the woman in front of her; after all, the woman in front of her had more experience when it came to trickery.
"Well, maybe, but still, it does not answer my question why you are here, as I felt that you just fought Aleya, Everina, and Eve at the same time, so you being her is surprising" the white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman said as she felt their essence even reach the Empyrean, and the amount they are unleashing is no joke, although most could not feel it, but for her, she could feel it very clearly.
"Ah, well, about that" Elysium said, as if she didn't know what to say.
"It's nothing, mama; it was a sparring" the master said as she pushed Elysium out of the way, using the essence around them.
"A sparring?" The white-haired, slitted-red-eyed woman said as she tilted her head. Although she knows what sparring means, their usage of essence is too much to be sparring.
"Yes, sparring after all, they did not use their 'Eter Nial Mla' if they did; if they did, they might have been fighting seriously" the master said hastily, not noticing her wrong choice of word just now, and the white-haired, slitted red-eyed woman saw through this.
"But I felt a presence of using 'Eter Nial Mla'" the white-haired, slitted red-eyed woman as she looked at the chained-up soul in front of her with a piercing glaze as if seeing through everything.
"Maybe you just noticed it wrong, they might have been using 'Original Language' that had a similar resonance with 'Eter Nial Mla' the master said, finding a reason as to why the white-haired, slitted, red-eyed woman felt a familiar resonance to 'Eter Nial Mla'.
"Really?" The white-haired, slitted, red-eyed woman as if not believing her at all.
"Yes, that's right, Madam, we used an 'Original Language' that had the same resonance with the 'Eter Nial Mla', Elysium said as she got in front of them again so she could not question her master, who already had a problem thinking correctly due to the chains binding her, making her master's mind jumbled from the very beginning.
"Oh, well then, my dearest child, are you still after the Eternal Maiden? To the person you loved the most" the white-haired,'slitted-red-eyed woman said with a sly smile, as she knew for the fact that her child would never lie about what she wanted, unless it's necessary to lie just to go after the Eternal Maiden.
"Of course, after all, she's mine and not theirs, for she is mine for all Eternity" the master said as her voice seemed to change instantly, becoming more scary. Even her mother felt it and felt chills just from hearing it. Even Elysium hid behind the other poor souls that she had captured, and she felt the aura that her master was emitting, giving her fear. Even the very concept of fear within her seems to be screaming in fright from just feeling the aura that her chained-bound master has just unleashed.
