E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 143 - Encounter

"Don't move." The whisper of Leo who while forcing Narla to keep laying it down.

The two hid in one of the small cliffs in the mountains. Try not to move or make any noise at all.

"Why is there such a large army?" Narla asked in a whisper.

"Where do I know? To my knowledge, the Crystalcourt region has long been destroyed." Reply to Leo who also whispered.

The movement of this enormous demonic army certainly made Leo and Narla confused. What is their purpose? Why send such an army to the Crystalcourt region they have conquered? Or at least....

That's what Leo thought.

"What did you say? Crystalcourt hasn't collapsed yet." Reply Narla.

Hearing that answer, Leo was confused. He doesn't understand that at all.

"Huh? Whatchu mean?"

"There are still plenty of Elves there. They are the ones left behind and have not had time to board your ship to escape to the territory of the Humans. But 10,000 demons should be enough." Narla Clear.

"So yes. Then I can understand. But bring an army of this size to slaughter the rest of the Elves...."

What was in front of the two of them, was a line of troops that was not only very long, but also very wide.

Each pounding of their feet could shake the ground and mountains. While the sound of their extremely loud war drums could make all the remaining living beings move away from their path.

According to Leo's estimates, their number is at least above 150,000 or more.

"Forget them. We're gonna get away from here." Whisper Leo while moving back. Now continue to crawl on the ground slowly so that no Devil is aware of them.

After a while of traveling, they found a small cave that was quite dark. It is suitable for hiding.

The two decided to rest in the cave for a while. While continuing to make new plans to face the Demon King Valkazar.

One of them is to continuously improve the existing space magic.

Including, continue to teach Narla about various magic that will be useful later.

"Narla, I want to try making Mana Link with you. Where I can use your Mana. But for that, I need magic energy. And as you know I don't have it.

So do you want to do it to yourself? I'll teach him. But you need to know, this is gonna hurt a lot." Obviously Leo.

But without the slightest hesitation, Narla immediately replied.

"As long as it's useful to increase the chances of defeating the Demon King, I don't have a problem."

"Thank you...."

The two of them are just starting to continue their work....

A beautiful green light suddenly appeared before the two of them. Slowly, it forms the figure of a human.... No. gabe. The figure of an Elf with long and beautiful hair.

His body was just a green light. There is no real existence in this world.

Seeing it mysteriously appear in front of the two of them, Leo and Narla were speechless. Just speechless.

Although Leo....

'It's bad. Am I going to die here?' Thought in the heart.

As if able to read his mind, the mysterious woman who was only formed from the light spoke.

"Pacify yourself, Leo. Narla. I'm not the enemy." Said the woman with a body that kept floating in the air.

"Who are you?" Ask Leo curiously.

"People often call me the Mana tree. There are also those who call me the Holy Lake. Or else there's calling me Mana itself." It was clearly the woman who floated closer towards Leo.

As if trying to touch his face but can't do it. Because of his body made of light, he could not touch anything else in the world.

Just passing through them.

With a wide smile, the woman continued to look at Leo with awe.

Narla who immediately noticed it, then immediately prostrated towards him.

"I forgive the servant who is unaware of your majesty. O my Goddess." Narla said as she continued to lower her body to this rock ground.

"Pardon me for breaking my blessing on you, Narla. But I have to keep the law I've made."

Meanwhile, Leo continued to be silent in his expression that looked so shocked.

'The goddess? Whereabouts? The star? Never seen my soul? Is this guy.... Realize that I am from another world?!' Leo thought in his heart.

And of course, the Elf woman immediately returned Leo's thoughts.

"Yes, I just realized it. That you're not someone from this world."

"What do you want?" Asked Leo briefly with a sharp look.

While trying to gently caress Leo's face, the Elf woman immediately explained what she wanted from all this.

"I just want my race to survive."

"If you speak like that, are there any other gods in the world?" Ask Leo back.

The Elf woman simply nodded lightly towards Leo. Then explain it immediately.

"Astroth, god of forging. He created and maintained the Dwarven race for 4,582 years before his death due to the negligence of his own race in worshiping him.

Aeos, god of humanity. Created and maintained the human race for 6,814 years before his death because humans worshiped stars rather than themselves.

Calmathia, the demon god. Created and guarded the Devil race for 218 years before his death because his race never thought it existed.

And myself, Egalathia. Created and maintained the Elf race for 56,249 years to this day. Forgotten by the whole world, except for my own children the Elves who always remember me."

Leo did not expect it.

That the name of the world is always known by all these people.

Even what he knew before he was sent into this world....

Is the name of one of the Goddesses in existence and the oldest. To name this world after his own name.

Even so....

"But we are not real gods. We were only born due to the accumulation of extremely powerful Mana in this world. And I was coincidentally born the earliest. So don't worship me like that, Narla." Egalathia said while trying to lift Narla's chin.

He looked at her gently. Let Leo think for a while.

Narla raised her face, looking at the beauty of her own Dewi before her.

Until finally....

"I'll be happy to help you. After all, without you even asking, I plan to beat up those Devils. And maybe save this land as a bonus.

But as you know, Valkazar is very powerful. With both of us.... You're like hoping for an ant to beat an elephant. You know that, right?" Ask Leo with a sharp look.

Remaining in her smile, Egalathia nodded and replied to Leo's words.

"Of course I know. Therefore, I will lend you my powers."

"Eh? I didn't hear wrong?" Ask Leo who can't believe what he just heard.

"i'm serious. But most likely, no.... I'm ready to go as long as my children can stay alive in this world. With their strength I'm sure they'll be fine.

While I myself will follow the steps of my other colleagues to leave this world. But before that, I want to tell you something, Leo."

For the first time, Egalathia showed a serious face that had no smile at all.

While trying to hug Leo's body, Egalathia whispered to him.

"I also could not see the existence of Valkazar's soul for a while."
