Opening An Orphanage In Another World - Chapter 461
[Seo Ah point of view]
Morning light come and greet us all. With adequate rest and preparation done, all of us that are involve in the plan to liberate Estel’s castle from the silver barrier (and Estel in entirety) start walking toward the castle.
Seeing a big group of people walking like they’re trying to wage war upon the castle do put the citizen restless, but ex guild master Ram and Gizzere explanation regarding the situation manage to reduce the tension and anxiety up in the air. They’re also eyes that watches us with hope, to end this madness of quarantine, cut from outside world once and for all
“Alright, get into your position!” [Ram]
“Those who will charge through the castle back, follow me! Those Valkyrie and Vampire that will lead the rescue operation, get ready with your pegasi!” [Bladel]
“Yes!” [All]
Once the barrier is just in front of us, all the participants start to mobilize to their respective location, with Mr Ram leading the charge (once the barrier is there no more) from the front
“I’ll go to my check point now” [Filvisar]
“Kucin, make sure to protect her” [Anjin]
“You too Birdie” [Jacks]
~Nod~ ~Screech~
The female black cat simply nod her head to her brother word, while Birdie who’s been with us since the Malsia’s orphanage was founded answer with a confident screech. Mrs Khamishah will be charging from the castle back
“We are all in position now” [Bladel]
“Copy that” [Ram]
After around fifteen minutes pass, the two leader confirm that each and everyone are in their respective position through their phone. Hearing this, I call Mr Jacks, Mr Filvisar and Mr Anjin to tell them that we will start the prayer. I didn’t call Mrs Khamishah since I can see her image through Mr Ram’s phone just now, and she looks ready to barge in moment notice
The situation suddenly become, as I couldn’t even heard a single sound. Not even a random stray cat meowing nor a bark from a dog, not even the sound of breath from my colleagues. It’s like the whole world anticipate this, and watch in silence.
(Just like the usual morning prayer…) [Seo Ah]
As one of the favourite daughter of the goddess, this technique, prayer to the goddess feel just like my daily routine. Though the environment is obviously different, I feel calm as usual, maybe a lot calmer despite knowing that the unknown threat that will try their best to harm us once inside will definitely do their best to prevent us from achieving our goal. I wonder, maybe because I know the Goddess will guide us all. She already gather us all here after all, an old heroes, one SS rank adventure and three S rank adventures
“Look!” [Male elf adventure]
“Those three, they started to glow!” [Syah]
“This… Isn’t this…” [Ray]
“The goddess…” [Mile]
“No doubt about it” [Liyana]
“That’s Goddess Achalasia mana…” [Lily]
“So warm.” [Kadeus]
Like they rightly mentioned, this is without doubt, the Goddess mana, something which I will never forget. I can feel it clearly enveloping me myself, Mrs Kucin and Birdie as the three of us chant the prayer
“Let’s go” [Kucin]
~Nod~ ~Screech~
Sensing that we will soon enter the castle, Mrs Kucin give us the signal, and we quickly ride the trusty steel bird golem. Of course, the two of us still continue our prayer. I do wonder a bit, since Birdie also glow with the same mana, does that mean Birdie also chant it own version of prayer? Only Birdie and the Goddess know for sure
Soon enough, not only us, but those behind us that pray together ever since the start start glowing just like us. It’s a bit faint, but they all can feel it, the mana of the goddess, like that of a mother hug.
The mana start forming small bubble, as it gather around at the top center of the castle, and quickly, it become larger as second pass. All of us can hear it, the collective thought and consciousness of each and every one of us involved in this process. Even the orphans who are not here, I can hear their thoughts as well. They must be praying hard at the orphanage currently. Even Mahsuri thought can be heard clearly by all of us
Just like what Mr Filvisar mentioned, the three of us started to unconsciously enter the barrier. This process will happen simultaneously to all seven of us involved. It feels like a hand, navigating us safely through the barrier, which feels like passing through a thick cloth at this point. I can tell that there will be no fake doppelgangers emerge from us touching this barrier
Once inside
“You!”
“How can you enter the barrier!”
“The barrier? Is it faulty?”
“It doesn’t even react to them!”
“This isn’t the time to panic! Just capture them!”
“YES SIR!”
They must been the fake doppelgangers, as they try their best to capture us. Spell after spell, with rain of arrow started to pour down upon us, but
~SCREECH~
With it wind magic, Birdie created a powerful wind barrier that not only stop the spell and arrow on their track, but also amplify it and send them back with double the force. Truly, a powerful skill.
“Dark and Mirage Mana Zone: Suicidal Kittens” [Kucin]
Mrs Kucin will usually fight together with her summon inside her mana zone, but this time around, she stay close with me, thus, only throwing spell from a far
The fake doppelgangers that are trap inside the blackish-silver mana zone have their five sense diminish, all the while trying their hardest to block and attack the numerous kittens made out of mana that not only bites and scratch them, but also occasionally explode on contact
(This technique of her become even deadlier with the blessing from Fairy Queen Titania) [Seo Ah]
I have only seen it once or twice, but I can tell the blessing did tremendously improve the spell
“That was quick” [Anjin]
“How was it on your side?” [Jacks]
“Not much of an issue” [Filvisar]
“Same. In all honesty, I feel like charging alone with how little resistance they offer” [Khamishah]
And the other also didn’t take long to gather around here. With this, we started our mission
