656: Go to Ferris Royal City

Chapter 656: Heading to Philis Royal City

El exited the city, saying he wanted to witness the situation of the world rift from a distance and would return after a quick look.

The registering priest nodded, cautioned him repeatedly not to get close, at least maintaining a distance of 100 kilometers, and then allowed him to pass.

After all, as a Saint Seiya, theoretically speaking, his status was no lower than that of the priest, or rather, they were of equal rank.

El walked out of the city and headed towards the world rift.

He could actually see it now, as the endless “blackness” on the horizon seemed to have been erased.

However, because he was in the city before, the tall city walls and various buildings blocked his view, making it hard to see.

Now, as soon as he stepped out, he saw it clearly.

El, wearing his saint cloth, flew towards it.

Yes, after acquiring a saint cloth, the “flight” ability was unlocked, and in the air, it felt like “walking on solid ground”; the power of the saint cloth allowed him to easily step on “air.”

El flew up, and at the same time, he saw the endless darkness in the distance.

That extreme blackness, like an abyss.

El instantly felt a tremendous terror.

Brakes!

El stopped in mid-air; even seeing it from such a distance, he still felt a palpitation.

“Hiss~ Is this the spatial rift that tore the world apart?” El looked at the extremely “weird” feeling of that space, which stretched from sky to ground as if a piece had been wiped away, giving him a sense of sanity drain.

Palpitation!

Forget it, no need to go over there.

El expressed his cowardice.

What’s there to see? He had already flown up and seen it.

It’s better to go back and cultivate his Little Universe!

El turned around and returned to Austerdes City.

It was as if only in the city could he feel sufficiently safe.

“Eh?!” The registering priest looked at El’s returning figure. Hadn’t he just left? Why was he back so soon?

El, seeing the priest’s curious gaze, awkwardly coughed lightly, then quickly signed and turned to leave, as if he had made some sort of decision.

The following days were simple: cultivating his Little Universe, nurturing his saint cloth, and developing the power of his saint cloth.

And as time passed, gradually, reserve Saint Seiya began to challenge the saint cloth trials...

………………

On the other side.

Ellie, Doris, and Emily set off for Philis Royal City.

“Woohoo!” Ellie hopped and skipped along the road like a silly roe deer, looking very joyful and carefree.

Doris and Emily, influenced by Ellie, also seemed to be in a very pleasant mood.

The three of them generally had a very pleasant experience on the road.

“How far is the Royal City from here?” Ellie asked Emily curiously.

“Hmm~ At our current pace... it would take about ten days of walking, at least,” Emily thought for a moment and said.

“Ten days?!” Ellie’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing Emily’s words.

No, sisters! We have to walk for ten days!

“Otherwise, what...” Emily looked at Ellie speechlessly and said, all three of them were relying on their own feet to walk all the way!

“Either we go with a merchant caravan to another city, then hire a carriage or follow a caravan heading to the Royal City, and travel together. That way, it would be faster, basically three to four days to arrive,” Emily told Ellie, looking helpless, not knowing who was the one who initially said they wanted to see more of the scenery along the way and planned to walk!

“Hehe~ Is that so! Then let’s find a caravan!” Ellie chuckled embarrassedly, almost forgetting about that.

“Or we could just fly there, if you know the way,” Ellie thought for a moment and said to Emily.

“Fly there?” Emily was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ellie in confusion.

“Yes! Just fly directly, I’ll take you both,” Ellie nodded and said.

“Eh?! Can we really fly?!” Doris looked at Ellie in shock from the side.

“Of course we can!” Ellie nodded. With her storm power, she could definitely use that power to take the two of them flying.

“That’s great!” Doris’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ellie. She had long wanted to experience the feeling of free flight, and she never expected Ellie to fulfill her dream!

“I know the way...” Emily nodded and said, but before she could finish her sentence.

“Then that’s settled! Let’s go, let’s go!” Ellie immediately said, and then a special wind-element power acted upon Emily and Doris.

The three of them thus flew up.

“You guys try it, I’ve put power on you, you can control it freely,” Ellie said to Doris and Emily.

“Eh~ I’ll try... Wow! It’s so amazing!” Doris immediately tried to control it, and then she flew freely in the air like a fish.

She immediately started shouting and exclaiming.

It was so exhilarating!

Emily’s small face was also flushed with excitement.

The two girls played in the air for a long time, fully enjoying themselves.

“Had enough fun?” Ellie asked with a smile after seeing the two stabilize a bit.

“Mm-hmm~” The two girls nodded a little shyly.

“Then let’s set off!” Ellie said with a smile.

“Let’s go!” Emily nodded, and since she knew the way, she flew in front.

Ellie and Doris followed behind.

Whoosh~ The three girls quickly soared through the high sky.

“So this is what the view from the sky is like... How wonderful!” Doris flew while looking at the green mountains and clear waters. This wonderful visual experience was her first.

Flying freely in the sky... This experience was also her first.

Emily, flying in front, felt the same as Doris.

How envious!

It seemed Ellie could always fly like this... Even more envious!

To be able to fly, this power... It’s too overpowered!

Emily became even more curious about Ellie’s origins.

Spatial magic, and then this peculiar wind-element power.

One should know that even among the mages in this world, not many could fly.

Of course, floating or low-altitude flight was common.

But like Ellie... flying freely in the air, and at high speed... with free steering, that was very difficult to achieve!

This was even more flexible than flying magical beasts!

Making people fly was simple, but making them soar freely was difficult!

With flight, the speed at which the three traveled to Philis Royal City underwent a qualitative change.

Originally, it would take ten days to half a month just by walking.

Now, they could just fly; the shortest distance between two points.

They shortened such a long journey to a mere hour.

“Look, that’s Philis Royal City ahead,” Emily pointed to a huge city on the ground in front.

Looking down from high in the sky, it was an unobstructed view, and there was an even more shocking feeling.

This was the shock given by human urban civilization!
