Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(1-3VOL)

Chapter 20: Dark Elf

"Then how did you get that name?"

I suddenly recalled this overlooked matter and became very curious.

"Don't tell me the angels helped you come up with it?"

"This..." Nicola seemed to be caught off guard and became very embarrassed, turning her face away.

"That's not the case... Actually, I haven't spoken to the other angels at all."

"So?" I asked.

"So...so Nicola is actually...the name of a female singer I like..." She seemed very ashamed and stammered with a red face after hesitating for a long time.

I couldn't help but smile a little.

"No wonder you're so used to cross-dressing. That's why I didn't think it was you at all at first."

"That's different!"

Nicola immediately bristled and jumped up, as if her pride had been hurt. "At first I had no other clothes to wear, I had no choice! Later...later I got used to it. And you were the same!"

Uh, I was about to mock her, but didn't expect the accusations to be thrown back at me.

For a while, neither of us knew what to say.

"Alright, let's rest and eat here first. After all, we need energy to keep going."

Adrian looked at the sky and found an empty spot by the roadside for everyone.

Then Selene and the others started setting up the stove, while Brennan and the others also went deeper into the woods. The food we carried was almost gone. It looked like they wanted to try their luck at finding some prey.

Of course, Nicola and I didn't want to sit around doing nothing, so we volunteered to help. In order not to be a lazy angel who only eats and dresses, I even took on the task of cooking.

Uh, what the heck are these ingredients?

Looking at the pile of completely unrecognizable meat, jerky and vegetable-like things in front of me, I felt my forehead start to sweat, suddenly feeling that I might have bitten off more than I could chew.

"Why don't I help you?" Seeing me staring blankly at the pile of food, not knowing what to do, Nicola came over to help.

But as a young master who was even more useless than me, where would she know what to do with these things? So the two of us just stood there staring blankly.

"Oh, I'll do it." Seeing us, Vivianne came over with a helpless expression and snatched the ingredients from our hands, muttering nonstop. "I knew you angels who don't experience the human world wouldn't know how to cook. I was so naive to believe you."

I wanted to argue but didn't make a sound. To be honest, it wasn't that I couldn't cook at all, but in this outdoor environment, with very crude conditions and no seasoning, just one pot to use. Facing completely unfamiliar ingredients, if I just threw everything together in the pot to boil, I was afraid I would make some kind of horrible dish, so I just didn't dare to start.

As for Nicola, she really didn't know at all. She just shrugged and walked away.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, I felt a strange aura appear out of thin air next to Nicola, mixed with the disgusting feeling I sensed when I saw Cerberus before, vaguely there but not very clear. I immediately shouted at her.

Nicola must have noticed it too. I saw her wings flash behind her as she leapt into the air. At the spot where she just stood, two daggers brushed past, one of them stuck in the ground while the other smashed right into the pot boiling water over the campfire.
