Chapter 371: Magic Backlash

Morning came to welcome a beautiful new day under the beautiful morning sky. The birds chirped like sweet songs, and other living creatures also woke up to do their morning activities.

Elysia opened her eyes and woke the white cat who was curled up on her tummy. Also, she didn't forget to wake up Elena as well.

"Good morning, Elisia."

"Good morning, Master Elysia."

Elysia looked back as she heard the morning greetings. Nell and Rhea sat on the cushion seats, facing each other. They seemed to be playing a game like chess.

"Good morning too. Did you stay up all night playing a game of chess, um... Is that Shogi?" Elysia glanced at the wooden game board. For some reason, she could feel a familiar vibe from that traditional game.

"Shogi? This is Jhougi. A traditional game that has long been popular on the Human Continent. A game that can hone thinking skills and intelligence in strategy." Nell introduced the game she bought a while ago before they went to Fairy Continent.

"Oh, what an interesting-looking game. Sorry to interrupt your enjoyment, but we need to head to the elven capital city as planned." Elysia nodded in understanding.

"Un, you are right, master. If there is no further change of plans, we will deal with Regulus on the Beast Continent later this afternoon." Rhea immediately tidied up the board and gave it to her little sister.

However, she felt that something strange had happened to her real body.

"Nee, how about how I look now? Do I look like a male elf?" Elysia spun once and then slightly puffed out her chest like a dignified male elf. She also showed her somewhat pointy ears, typical of elves and fairies.

Rhea's attention was distracted, and so was Nell. The two of them looked at Elysia, who now had the appearance of a beautiful male elf, long hair pulled back in a ponytail, and also wearing a manly robe.

Even so, the reality behind the disguise, Elysia only slightly suppressed her breasts with magic to make her chest look like a man's. Apart from the man's robe made of magic and the disguise on the head, nothing had changed from the usual Elysia.

So, if no one thoroughly checked her body, no one would know that she was a girl. No one would suspect anything, as long as her magic wasn't neutralized by something like the accursed monster's anti-magic traits.

'Ely, you are now like a beautiful martial artist. Wait, I remember there is a term that can explain this better. Umm, a beautiful cultivator, or a little white face? Yes, you are like a young master now.' Elena gave an approving nod from within the Soul Realm.

'Hehe, now I just need to layer a subtle barrier to obscure the sight of anyone who might try to scan me with magic or whatever.' Elysia immediately implemented her idea, and now she had the confidence to go to the elven capital city.

'Nice. I want to see if the female elves will bother you later, hehe... They might be wearing revealing dresses because they want to attract the male elves' attention. So be careful~' Elena got excited to see what would happen later.

"Woah, you've become like a male elf, Elysia. But, you are the one who has a pretty face and is a bit slender. Hmm, a beautiful male elf rather than a masculine male elf. Just be careful, you'll get quite a bit of attention from the female elves. For your information, beautiful male elves are quite rare and in high demand." Nell flew around Elysia once. She also gave praise as well as good advice.

"En, I understand. Thanks for the advice. I just found out that masculine male elves are not as popular as beautiful male elves." The corner of Elysia's mouth twitched slightly at hearing the truth.

She started to consider changing her disguise a bit more masculine. Yet, Elena balked at that because it wouldn't be fun anymore.

"That's the case. I've researched it back in the Elven Continent. Most female elves are born beautiful, and most male elves are born masculine. But, both genders would prefer the beautiful and talented ones without doubts." Nell vouched for it, then asked for confirmation from her big sister. "Am I right, big sister?"

"Ah, uh... Yes, that's what happened in the Elven Race long ago. Seems like it's still the same now." Rhea nodded after evaluating Elysia's appearance.

If she used her magic vision, she couldn't determine Elysia's real gender because something would cloud her magic vision every time the experiment was performed. So, it was a very good disguise.

"Alright, your disguise is done perfectly, master. But, please open Nature Realm's portal. I feel like my real body got a backlash from my last night activities." Rhea felt a little uneasy because something similar had happened before.

"Huh, alright." Elysia gripped the green gem on her necklace and immediately opened the Nature Realm's portal.

Rhea and Nell immediately went inside with a bit of anxiety. Elysia and Elena also got worried because they thought the real Rhea was in trouble.

They looked into the portal, right next to a small tree, a turquoise dress lying on the ground without anyone wearing it. Then, a naked mint-green-haired toddler just crawled out of there.

"Eh?" Elysia was taken back, and so was Elena.

"Oh no why did this happen to me? I didn't use many types of high-level magic last night." Rhea looked at her tiny hands with mixed feelings.

Then, she deactivated her avatar to return to her body. But, unfortunately, nothing happened after that. So, it wasn't because of her avatar, but because she used a formation so her mother could digest five vials of Dew of Life more easily.

"What happened, Rhea? Can you share with us what happened and what you did last night?" Elysia became a little anxious. She thought the backlash in question was severe enough that Rhea's divine body transformed into a toddler.

"Please don't worry, master. I just used too much magic and my body can't keep up with what I'm using. I'll be back to normal in a few days, or a few weeks..." Rhea felt a little awkward and a little scared. Thus, she did not dare to speak in its entirety.

"Waahh, has this happened before, big sister? This is the first time I've seen you become a toddler, hehe. So, my big sister is now my little sister?" Nell was a little worried but also excited. After all, her big sister suddenly became an adorable toddler.

At the same moment, the small tree beside Rhea moved slightly. Lifa woke up from her sleep and looked around using her sensor. She was aware that she had grown into a small Tree of Life, but her daughter became a toddler instead?

Lifa was also aware that she had become taller than last night. From five centimeters to thirty centimeters?

"Oh, my daughter... Did you use too much magic energy last night? Sigh, even though you said you wouldn't go overboard to help me." Lifa didn't know what her daughter was doing when she had slept last night, but she knew that her daughter had done something for her to grow up fast.

"I'm sorry, mother. I'm sure I used my magic energy carefully and not too much. I just want the five vials of Dew of Life to remain at maximum benefit for you to digest overnight." Rhea wore a pitiful expression, but she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. On the contrary, she faintly smiled because she got the results she had hoped for.

"Sigh, my silly child." Lifa felt quite helpless, but she couldn't blame or do anything either.

For that cause, she turned to Elysia. "Elysia, can you give my daughter some clothes? Also, please keep my daughter close to you. Please help my silly daughter recover her magical energy. If she is left alone like this, she will only return to normal in a month or two weeks at the most."

"Oh, okay. For now, let me dress you in a magic gown first, okay?" Elysia made the portal closer to Rhea. She cast her imagination magic to make a cute dress for the toddler Rhea.

"Hm, perfect. We need to buy men's robes and baby clothes when we get to capital city." Elysia gave an approving nod. Surprisingly, she didn't blush even though there was a strong cause in front of her.

"Okay, now, please tell me what happened. What did Rhea do until she became a toddler? Is it possible for someone to become a toddler after using too much magic?" Elysia turned to the little talking tree.

Lifa was silent for a moment, then revealed the truth. "Oh, well... My daughter's body constitution is unique. She can't recover her Life Energy on her own, despite her divinity and Divine Law. Also, her magic energy recovery is so slow. She needs the help of a chosen superior being to take good care of her. That's the price she has to pay to have great power."

Then, Lifa shared some of her requests to Elysia about what Elysia could do to help Rhea. But that wasn't before telling Elysia what Rhea did last night. Elysia was Rhea's new host and master, so Elysia must take full responsibility and take good care of Rhea.

"I, I, even though I look like a toddler, but I'm still a strong Goddess. I won't bother you too much, master. Please take care of me. I will protect you and fight for you in return." Rhea was a little nervous to ask for help.
