Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Leta.

That was the last land of the elves in the current mortal world.

The rampage of the quasigods forced the elves to use their magic to escape from the ground and hide in the clouds.

Leta was the last stronghold of the elves that remained on the ground to fight against the quasigods tenaciously. It symbolized the final glory of the elves.

Although it was still not as strong as the Haines Empire, this country that had fought against the quasigods for thousands of years could be considered well-versed in martial arts.

If they did not want to start a war, it would be best for Hela and Rayne not to use teleportation magic within Leta's territory.

Although it was convenient, it was precisely because it was too convenient that every capable country would desperately develop countermeasures against teleportation magic in order to guard against sneak attacks from the Imperial Guards.

Leta was naturally one of them.

As Leta also possessed a demigod who could use teleportation magic, they developed a spatial fluctuation detection formation system that could discover all teleportation magic within the borders instantly.

If Hela were to set the coordinates of the teleportation magic within the territory of Leta…

She would see a teleportation gate open up opposite her as well the moment she entered Leta.

Thereafter, the disgruntled face of the elf demigod would appear before her.

Thereafter, he would accuse humans of all sorts of evil while fighting Hela to the death.

Therefore, the plan Hela and Rayne chose was to teleport to the borders of Leta first before using conventional movement methods to head to the lair of the ancient dragon.

Borders of Leta.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, a pitch-black crack opened silently.

Rayne and Hela walked out of the dimensional rift.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery before Rayne had changed from a gorgeous palace to a barren wilderness.

Hela looked at Rayne with concern.

Using a mortal body to cross space was an extremely dangerous thing. Even with Hela's full protection, it would still bring about a huge physical burden for the prince.

However, Rayne looked calm and composed.

The pressure of traveling through space did not make him feel uncomfortable, as though… he was already used to it.

It seemed like it was as the prince had said—he was clearly experienced in teleportation.

However, hmm…

Wait a minute?

Suddenly, Hela noticed that after Rayne came out of the dimensional rift, there seemed to be something in his hands?

It was a shiny, bloated worm. Its mineralized body shone with a charming glow and a starry sky was reflected in its eyes.

Hela was starting to get nervous.

The name of this thing was Dimensional Parasite.

Those were the lowest-level gatherers in the dimensional rifts.

However, even these harmless little fellows in their world were terrifying nightmares once they arrived in the mortal world!

Instinctively, Hela retreated. "Your Highness! Be careful of the thing in your hands. If these little fellows react with the material of the mortal world…"

Rayne replied, "Yes, I know."

He nodded.

The prince seemed to understand Hela's words but at the same time, not as well.

He had indeed heard Hela's warning and threw away the worm immediately. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.ｏｒｇ

However…

Rayne did not put the worm back into the dimensional rift. Instead, he raised the gem-like ore worm high and threw it with all his might!

The struggling worm regained its freedom and tried its best to drag its fat body up in the air…

After flying for a distance, it still lost to gravity.

The worm drew a high arc in the air before landing—boom!

Finally, the Gobi Desert in the distance shone brightly. Accompanied by the frenzied trembling of the ground, a gigantic mushroom cloud bloomed slowly where the Dimensional Parasite landed!

If these little fellows react with the material of the mortal world…

Hela said, "It'll create an explosion such that even our mothers won't be able to recognize us..."

She looked at the rumbling mushroom cloud in the distance. Thankfully, it was not within the borders of Leta.

Everything was fine then.

Hela was completely alright with this outcome.

There was something that the current her was too embarrassed to mention…

Actually, bringing dimensional lifeforms back to the mortal world and watching them self-destruct for fun... was her favorite pastime in her childhood.

"Oh well, the blast didn't reach us anyway."

Hela shrugged. "Let's go!"
