''.Just what will it take for you to stop!?" Alex asked as if resigned to his fate.
''Well, stop being shameless.''
"....."
Alex stared at her. She stared back at him.
Sadly it was Alex who had to break the eye contact. He couldn't win against her. He was like a child before an adult, and considering the age gap between them, he was indeed a child before Elseria, the elven empress, the Goddess of the Elves, the one hailed as the strongest of all two hundred years ago.
Coughing lightly, Alex decided to switch the subject.
''I have contacted you because I think I can cure you.''
Boom!
This declaration was like a bomb exploding in our empress's mind, and she got up from her seat, surprised beyond word.

''Be sure that I won't forgive you if you are playing with me.''
Alex did not doubt the sincerity of what Elseria had said, and he nodded, he might be shameless, but he knew when to stop playing.
''Don't worry, I'm serious; I won't joke about something like that. Now that you have seen me, you must have noticed something has changed.'' Alex declared, and his words made her nod her head. She had noticed the change and how stronger he had become. It would have been weird if she didn't notice—that peculiar silver eye that stands out no matter what.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was something weird, no, something dangerous about Alex's left eye; she had seen it before, those same eyes on the silver-haired. Elseria shuddered just by remembering how scary that woman was.
''Okay, I will believe in you but let's not do it here; I'm sure that even with all the precautions I've inside this building, they will not be enough to conceal my full strength if I were to recover,'' Elseria said before leaving her seat. Alex nodded; even if she had suggested this, he would have become curing Elseria should remain a secret; she would be their trump card in the incoming war.
Lilith getting rid of her curse must have been noticed by Bahamut; the same goes for Artemia but while he had done nothing until now was because they couldn't be much threat. While those two would not appreciate this, from what Incursio said, the only one Bahamut considered to be dangerous was Typhania, so if he were to notice that the latter had recuperated her former strength, things might become chaotic soon. Bahamut would do anything to get rid of Typhania, meaning the war would happen sooner than anticipated, and the result would be Alex's camp's complete defeat as they wouldn't have enough time to be prepared. They would lose too much; to prevent such a situation, curing Typhania must be done in the utmost secrecy.
''Take my hand.'' Elseria (Typhania) offered her left hand to him, and Alex got hold of him. She nodded before they disappeared. They reappeared in a totally different place, in a forest, to be exact.
The forest was gigantic, light, and flourishing. Its canopy was marked by hickory, chestnut, and beech; their crowns allowed for short beams of light to descend for a motley of ferns to use the nut and seed-covered grounds below.
Thick branches suspended from many trees and a medley of flowers, which grew in abundance, added some bright touches to the otherwise uniform forest floor.
A hodgepodge of animal sounds, most of which were birds and insects, brightened up the forest, and were out of sync with the occasional roar of a large animal trying to scare away predators.
''A forest again? Try something new.'' Alex said half-jokingly, but Elseria nodded and, still holding his hand, vanished; they reappeared in another forest.
''Again?" Alex said with his voice laced with complaints, but he was ignored; then again, the scenery changed to another forest, but Alex said nothing as he didn't even have the energy to complain anymore.
Looking at Alex's face, Elseria chuckled before teleporting them to their following location, at the entrance of a realm. A special miniature world under Typhania's control.
''Great, it's the entrance of a realm this time; I just hope we won't be going through multiple realms,'' Alex said in a half resigned to fate.
Elseria was the first to enter, and Alex soon followed. As he walked forward through the portal. A pleasant world immediately met him. A massive, oddly colored lake reflects the even more peculiarly colored mountains in the distance. It was peaceful and quiet here. This world seems to calm. Whether this was true or just appearance remains to be seen.
In the distance, Alex could feel the presence of many creatures. They keep an eye on him in a predatory manner; the cautious path would be the best one. He could make out lean creatures, fluffy creatures, and what he thought might be flying creatures of some sort.
''This place should be safe, enough.'' Elseria (Typhania) stopped and declared, forcing Alex out of his daydream.
''Well, I'm sure after taking so many precautions, we are now safe.'' Alex declared before slowly approaching her; she said nothing, but just as he got closer, she stopped him, and Alex tilted his head to the side.
''What is it?" He questioned.
''Nothing much, but if you managed to cure my curse seriously, I would grant you one request, and I will comply no matter what your request will be.'' Elseria declared in a severe tone.
Alex was caught off guard, therefore, he stopped for a moment, but when he thought about it, he could understand this declaration and nod.
''I understand. Let's begin.'' Alex declared before appraising her; he couldn't hide his shock and wondered how much stronger she would become after being cured.

Alex sighed before simultaneously activating Nemesis's special abilities, which resulted in his silver form; in this form, he could detect the curse and tried to cure it.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The result was devastating; he was sent flying, and the whole realm was broken; the power beyond the Demigod realm was no joke.
