Chapter 158: Chapter 158
"Here."
The waiter gave me a cup of chocolate tea after I finished eating my cake.
"It seems Kelly has returned, Diane has gone to pick her up."
I glanced at my phone and put down the tea cup and took up my bag.
"Let's go girls."
We got inside the car and it drove off. Ivy is the third person to become a part of my lineage and so she's important to me as much as Kelly and silvia. Maybe she can tell me where silvia is?
Hmm?
I looked at the inner rear view mirror at Debra who looked away the moment we crossed our eyes. She got flustered as look away. Today's monday and it's been two days since the incident with Debra, she's been acting shy around me, sneaking a gaze at me once a while and does talk to me.
I must say it's adorable really.
After we reached home I decided to tease her a little.
"Debra, are you alright?" I asked concernedly.
"Uhm.. Yes," she responded.
"Well you don't look at it your face is flush red."
I held her face and got close to her.
"Are you coming down with a fever?"
Since I was shorter than her I had to float in the air and hold my forehead against hers to check her temperature.
"Your temperature seems normal."
I looked her in the eyes and she got flustered and ran away.
She's so adorable.
The door opened, Kelly, Lufilia, Diane and Viper walk in and came into the living room where we were.
"I've return mistress "
Kelly and her subordinate genuflected before me.
"Did you find anything?" I ask as I descend on the ground.
"Yes."
She took out a coffin out of her storage ring and placed it on the table.
"Ivy."
I walked up to the casket and opened it.
Inside was just ashes.
" I'm afraid it's too late, I'm sorry, I fail to bring her back "
I turned to Kelly who had a worried and disappointed look on her face.
"Don't worry Kelly, it's alright. You did your best and that's good enough for me. You don't have to be upset because I'm not mad in the slightest, I know you still have guilt in your heart and you don't have to worry," I reassured her, then placed my hand on her cheek. "I'll take all your guilt away."
"Oh mistress."
She placed her hand on my hand.
"Besides, Ivy isn't dead yet."
"What?"
Kelly was shocked.
I turned to the coffin and placed a stuffed bear inside, closed the coffin and held out my hand. It was slammed shut and started to float in the air.
"Everyone stand back," I ordered.
My right eye turned silver and started to glow. A crimson barrier surrounded the coffin that discharged lighting unto the coffin.
"What is she doing?" Diane wondered.
"I have no clue," Kelly replied.
"Sister, I've never seen anything like this "
"Neither have I, sister."
Tio and Tia were astonished.
I close my eyes
"Condense."
The sphere around the coffin started to become smaller and smaller and smaller until a tiny blood that fell on the coffin. The coffin glowed and glowed filling up the room with a bright light that soon decipates.
"It's done."
The coffin slowly descended on the table.
"Mistress, what did you do?" Kelly asked.
"Just wait,"
The coffin was slowly pushed open.
"Aah, My head is killing me."
The voice of Ivy made Kelly frightened until the stuffed animal crawled out of the coffin and rubbed its head.
"Did that teddy bear just talk?" Diane asked in shock.
Everyone was surprised.
"Hmm, my hands are short, wait, what's this? Don't tell me I've been reincarnated as a stuffed animal. Who did this? Which evil god did this to me?"
"Hello Ivy."
I walked closer to it. The teddy bear looked at me and it's gaze was finally focused.
"Lady Roselina?!"
"It's been a long time, how are you?" I asked.
"No, this must be a dream, you were supposed to be dead,"Ivy muttered as she was in denial.
"Rest assure it's me ivy, I Roselina Lambrosa De Valentine has return Ivy," I said with a smile.
"Is it really you?"
"Yes."
The teddy bear started to cry and genuflected before me as it cried.
"Oh, lady Roselina, it's so good to see you."
I patted the teddy as it cried. "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect her, I could protect my master, Please forgive me."
"Don't worry Ivy, Everything is fine, I'm here now."
A few minutes later…
"What am I doing inside a stuffed animal?" Ivy asked in bewilderment.
"Using soul manipulation, I was able to transfer your soul inside the body of a doll, forgive me for it was the only method I know at this moment," I said.
"You can manipulate souls?" Kelly asked in astonishment.
I looked at her and seeing my right silver eye she realised how I was able to do it.
"However, This vessel is unable to contain your power, it will ultimately corrode away, you need to go back into slumber until I find a suitable vessel for you," I explained.
"I understand."
"Ivy, what happened to Silvia, I want to know everything?"
I put on a face of seriousness.
"I don't remember much lady Roselina, After lady Kelly vanished, I'm sorry," Ivy said.
I sigh and take a sip of wine. Kelly doesn't remember and neither does Ivy, this isn't getting me nowhere. It seems I'm back to square one again.
"I remember the face of the man though."
Hearing this from Ivy I opened my eyes.
"What does he look like?"
"He had dark blue hair and wore glasses, and he wore a ring with a gold ring with a red gem inside of it,other than that I don't remember."
"Thank you Ivy, it's helpful," I expressed my gratitude.
"What year is it?" Ivy wondered.
"It's 2022, 108 years since you vanished."
"It's been that long."
"Yes, awaken from my slumber 3 weeks ago, 605 years has passed for me."
I took another sip of wine.
"I'm sorry Ivy."
We all turn to kelly.
"I abandoned her."
"No Kelly, It's should be me who is sorry, if I hadn't gone off to fight Efreet that day, then none of this would have happened," I said
Ivy stood up. "To be honest with you lady Roselina, I was angry with you at first but after 60 years I realised that you did all that to protect the world, to protect us, you made a sacrifice for us and for that I'm eternally grateful," she expressed her gratitude.
I smiled at her.
"That being said, I have a question, Lady Roselina, Do you think lady Silvia is still alive?" She asked.
"Yes,she's out there waiting, I intend to find her."
Suddenly the glass of wine in my hand exploded.
"And be in heaven or hell, whoever took her away from us , I intend to find them....and make the suffer," I said and my eyes glowed.
"That's what I wanted to hear, its so good to see you haven't change."
Suddenly the White teddy bear had a patch of darkness appear on it.
"It seems time is about to be up for me."
"Rest easy Ivy, I'll reunite you with Silvia soon enough."
I held out my hand and a blood flower appeared under the teddy bear.
"I have full faith in you, Lady Roselina," Ivy said.
I clench my fist and the petals close up around Ivy. I place the bud inside the coffin and the coffin inside my pocket dimension. It's to suppress her energy so she doesn't destroy her current vessel
"I'm going to my room," I turn and walk away.
It was 10 pm in the night, I sat by the window and looked out at the sky.
>> Master, what is our next plan of action? <<
Veelzebub asked.
"Find any trace of the luminasy faction, maybe they have information on what's going on."
>> Do you think they're still alive? <<
"I think so, Therosa isn't someone who will put her faction at risk, they're hiding somewhere," I said.
Suddenly the door was knocked.
"Miss Roselina."
"May we come in?"
It was Tio and Tia, after handing them permission they both came in. They both stood in the same spot and looked at me.
"We have a question," Tia spoke.
"What was the world like 600 years ago?" Tio asked.
"You want to know about that."
"Yes."
"Let's see, The world was divided into three between humans, Vampires, monsters and Beast like giant apes, fire breathing cheetah and Other Monsters. Back then the monster population was low. The Vampire's had 4 factions, The luminasy faction, the Rosary Faction, Zeroth Faction and the Valentine Faction. My faction was just starting out in those days, with only Kelly, Silvia and Ivy by my side," I explained.
"Were the monster's power in those days," Tia wondred.
"Oh yes, very powerful, with the strength to destroy Villages and Cities even though the humans in those days were tough, their strength in numbers and individually was impressive."
I took a sip of wine.
"However, the humans these days have given up all that power for technology. Their magic was lost in history, their strength has decreased by 90%" I muttered.
"And the monsters,"
No matter how much technology humans developed it would be impossible to wipe out all monsters in those days. Monsters like to thrive in places where mana is the richest. Now the mana here is so thinned out it's impossible to invoke a spell. My guess is that the monsters moved underground closer to the earth's core, to a place where the mana is richer and if that's the case humans best be careful because who knows when they'll surface again. If that happened, we are looking a full out Apocalypse
