Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation (Volume 6)

Vol 6/ Chapter 3: A Private Talk

"You're right, Elara in your world is still alive! Since I've decided to come to this world as Cyra, sooner or later I'll have to meet her face to face."

Cyrae readily agreed when she learned about the purpose of her journey.

As the successor of the deceased Elara from another world, Cyrae's relationship with our world's Elara was quite complicated.

You see, it wasn't just about inheriting power and experience - Cyrae even kept some memories from the other world's Elara!

Though the histories of both worlds were quite different, she had taken up the mission to revive the angel race from the deceased Elara. Coming to this world, she definitely stood out like a sore thumb. Her presence felt extra, some people would even reject her.

For example, many angels didn't value much of Cyra in Edenmere. Among the newest batch of angels, not only was she the most ordinary in strength, she even "invented" things like poker and mahjong, distracting angels in Edenmere!

Even Elara kept complaining to me that her subordinates now spent all their free time gambling, and they weren't as quick to follow orders as before.

Heaven knows what weird tricks this strange "Cyra" might pull next!

So even though Cyrae and Cyra looked exactly the same, and I personally vouched for her, Serena still wasn't at ease. She sent at least three angels ranked sixth-tier to watch her every move.

Well, the commander made this decision based on usual military practice and caution, so I couldn't stop it. But seeing how they treated Cyrae made me feel quite bad.

"No worries, they just not used to me. After some time they won't be so worried anymore!"

Instead, Cyrae comforted me, acting very understanding.

"But you're not dangerous at all..."

I suddenly felt like crying from being touched. If only the previous Cyra had been this thoughtful and understanding, I would have had way less headaches.

Before leaving, we needed to rest one night at the Light Elf village near Sifur City.

That place had been the angel legion's temporary base recently. Since we decided to leave, we naturally had to say proper goodbyes and thank the villagers.

"I didn't expect to hear anything about Irene anymore, but now hearing she might still be alive somewhere, I feel so much better!" said Betty, the retired Light Elf elder, who was sitting under an elf tree chatting with Elder Gwendolyn while enjoying the sun.

Village Chief Karati got even more excited and came over to grip Nicola's hands tightly, asking for more details.

You see, among magical creatures, there weren't many pure dark element beings. So once Dark Elves transformed into Light Elves, it was very hard to change back! Since these transformed folks often had trouble adjusting both mentally and physically, the village chief and elders always paid extra attention to Irene.

"I've said everything Feliciana asked me to explain. This is the Light Elf village that took in Irene, right? Let me look around by myself, okay?"

You could tell Nicola wasn't comfortable with such close contact. She pulled her hands away and quickly ran off with an excuse.

"Even though she hasn't said a word to me since coming back, not even looking at me, her attitude is much softer now! If she hadn't explained everything about what happened earlier, I would wonder if this Nicola isn't the same Nicola we used to know!" Adrian whispered in my ear. After all, we had met the Nicola from the parallel world before, so I totally got what he meant.
