Reborn as an Extra Chapter 627: To The Temple Of Nature! Part-2.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
"Besides being fairies, is there any other way to get through this illusion barrier of the fairyland?"
Perched atop Kai’s back, Lia gently petted Lyria’s head while smiling and posing the query.
Lia knew for certain she wasn’t a fairy, and Kai had verified she lacked any fairy lineage.
This left Lia puzzled over how she managed to slip past the illusion barrier with barely any issues.
’I’ve dealt with countless hardships as an awakener, so when trouble skips me, it feels strange and worrying...’
The illusion barrier sparing her was positive, yet its failure to affect her sparked fresh doubts in her thoughts, ones without resolutions.
"Hmm... Nova could have more insights on this... she’s the eldest fairy in Kenorland city! And she constantly oversees the Temple of Nature..."
"We’ll see her when we reach the temple!"
Miria chimed in, even as she played with the tiny golem.
"Yeah! Nova’s the wisest! She knows it all! Though not royal, she’s powerful!"
Lia agreed with a nod.
"Alright, then I’ll encounter this fairy named Nova..."
Lyria and Miria burst into giggles at Lia’s remark.
"Just don’t say ’old fairy’ right to her... she hates it when folks call her that... hehe..."
Lia nodded once more.
"I understand; I’ll watch my words..."
[Regarding methods to circumvent this illusion barrier... I’ve witnessed just one being weave such formidable illusion barriers...]
[However, since this dates back 2000 years, it’s probably not his doing, as he hadn’t reached SS rank yet...]
Upon catching Kai’s thoughts, Lia furrowed her brow slightly and inquired,
’Who do you mean?’
[Some guy named ’Marik,’ renowned as the ’Great Illusory Holy Beast’... though I like dubbing him ’Annoying Old Fart’...]
[No one I’ve encountered crafts illusions and barriers mightier than his...]
Lia had no recollection or knowledge of this ’Marik,’ leaving her clueless about Kai’s reference.
’But if he didn’t forge this barrier... how did they manage such a mighty one?’
’Do the fairies possess their own SS-rankers?’
[No, fairies wouldn’t have suffered such easy oppression if they had SS-rankers...]
[They might’ve employed a potent legendary artifact for this barrier... I’d need considerable effort myself to carve a secure path through it...]
’Impressive... so this barrier packs real power if it demands that much from even you...’
Kai ranked among the mightiest divine spirits across all in this realm; if he deemed something challenging, it truly was formidable.
[Um... actually, the challenge varies by individual skills... take your boyfriend Rio; he’s not even SS-rank, yet hurling miasma at it could...]
[He might demolish the whole barrier solo... it wouldn’t unravel the illusion properly, but it’d resolve the issue nonetheless...]
[Via sheer brute force, that is...]
Kai’s words conjured an image in Lia’s mind of Rio staring at the ruined barrier with a blank, exasperated expression, making her chuckle softly.
"I can easily picture him unintentionally smashing the barrier to bits while aiming for a tiny gap, then gazing at the crumbling mess with irritation... hahaha~"
Kai bobbed his head too, as though visualizing the same scene.
[I worry that should he learn you were harmed and I failed to shield you well... he could turn unhinged and pump miasma into me via his sword like dubious elixir...]
"Hahaha, your mind runs pretty wild... Rio wouldn’t resort to that..."
[Um... you lowball how extreme he’d get for your sake...]
Lia remained youthful with limited worldly exposure, but Kai had roamed for millennia, witnessing ’love’s’ transformative effects.
Even the realm’s mightiest succumbed to this singular sentiment.
That’s why the ’law’ of ’love, care, and protection’ counts as one of the mightiest ’laws’ in this ’world’!
The world’s inaugural awakener, Astra, received blessings from this very ’law’ and ruled supreme for a full thousand years!
The boundless miasma sea bowed helplessly as Astra purified vast swaths of the spirit domain, forging fresh abodes for ordinary spirits.
Her cleansing of miasma-held territory struck as a profound insult to corruption; so mortifying that miasma now bars healers from the spirit realm.
While Lia and Kai delved into diverse topics, Lyria soared to perch on Lia’s head and gestured toward a distant figure.
"Look! That’s the ’Temple of Nature’! Nestled at Kenorland’s heart, it’s a spot every fairy here cherishes deeply!"
"It’s the loveliest spot anywhere! Hehe~"
Lyria’s excitement drew Lia’s gaze to the pointed direction.
On the horizon loomed an enormous temple, vast and soaring, visible sharply from afar.
Verdant trees and gleaming golden columns adorned it; the temple’s design rendered it stunning even from such range!
A colossal golden bell at the pinnacle tolled a soothing chime, infusing vigor and life into the splendid vista, while assorted birds wheeled overhead, as if lauding the temple’s splendor.
Blossoms danced on the breeze, their invigorating aroma uplifting spirits even more.
Witnessing this vista, Lia’s lips curved into a grin as she commented.
"It truly is gorgeous... No surprise they dub this the city of flowers..."
