Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 454: The Sealed Queen

36 years ago, the Emperor of Aeddoterra lived in peace and prosperity with his little Royal Family consisting of his wife, son, and himself.

However, on that same day, a calamity befell them when they traveled to the other kingdom. Amelie, the wife of the Emperor of Aeddoterra, was cursed. Or, instead, possessed by an evil spirit on their way home.

The imperial journey immediately turned into a battle where the Emperor needed to defeat his possessed wife. It was a tough battle where he fought all the way but tried his best not to hurt his wife.

Unfortunately, it didn't end as a happy ending, even though the evil spirit was defeated. That evil spirit couldn't be expelled from Amelie's body, and her soul was caught between life and death.

Because of that, the Emperor of Aeddoterra made a difficult decision. He sealed his wife with hope for help in the future. The evil spirit was still there, but there was no other choice. All news about his wife was immediately sealed and disappeared for some unknown reason.

The public didn't understand what was happening. That day, the queen just disappeared for no apparent reason. The Emperor of Aeddoterra didn't say much other than explaining that his wife was somewhere for a purpose.

Then, many people thought that the queen was dead, and the Emperor refused to believe that it was real. Although there was no funeral ceremony held. Slowly but surely, the residents of Aeddoterra Kingdom no longer questioned the whereabouts of the queen.

"Possessed, huh... So, it's like what happened yesterday. A student from the Deterry Academy of Magic who was possessed by an evil spirit." Nell folded her arms after hearing Arthur's explanation.

"Yes, it's similar. However, I request your divine aid to help my wife. Please exterminate that evil spirit out of my wife's body. She has suffered a lot for the past 36 years..." Arthur stopped his steps and sent his request to his wife. Goddess of Blessings.

"I can't make a promise to you. We only have no more than a 50 percent chance it will work. If that fails, we have no other choice but to burn your wife in holy fire to send her to the world of the dead, or perhaps afterlife." Nell gave her answer with zero tolerance honesty. Although it was a bit cruel to hear, it was what was to come.

"..." Arthur went silent for a moment. It was hard to accept, but he needed to prepare himself for the worst-case scenario. After all, it was already 36 years.

He just continued on his way down the stairs in silence, but thousands of thoughts and memories flashed through his mind.

Elysia just sighed as if she knew that Arthur was in a predicament and a dilemma. Then, she looked around once more. She and her group were in the spiral staircase as if surrounding a tower going deep underground.

Only the crystal torches lit their path in the darkness of the passage, and only footsteps could be heard to fill the silence.

"Ely..." Evelyn spoke in a whisper-like voice. She put her hand on Elysia's arm.

"???" Elysia looked at Evelyn and was surprised to see the latter's face so pale. Evelyn's hand was also shaking slightly and felt cold.

"Don't be afraid, no one there will be allowed to harm us, let alone possess us. I will guarantee that. Do you trust me, Eve?" Elysia placed her hand on Evelyn's and applied magic to enveloped the frightened girl's body with warmth.

"En, I trust you. Thank you." Evelyn felt suddenly enveloped by a warm blanket. For some reason, she didn't feel too afraid to continue on her way.

Meanwhile, Ella and Yuuki were just feeling tense, but they were trying their best to reassure themselves not to be afraid. After all, divine beings were with them there.

Evelyn, Gio, Vanessa, and the others didn't feel scared or anything at all. They just walked in silence to follow their group at a leisurely pace.

'Ely, please prepare yourself. We're almost at the hidden room X. I can feel an uncomfortable aura coming from there. It's almost similar to the one that came from the accursed monster.' Elena warned with seriousness. She prepared herself to protect Elysia from within the Soul Realm in case anything unexpected happened.

'En, my vigilance has been at maximum level since we descended the stairs.' Elysia took a deep breath and heaved it slowly.

A stone gate with a giant 'X' symbol carved there awaited them at the end of the stairs.

"We've arrived at hidden room X." Arthur turned around and faced everyone with a complex expression.

"Mm, open the gate now." Nell confirmed, but it sounded like an order.

Arthur only replied with a nod. He triggers several secret mechanisms on the right and left walls. Then, he did something to the stone gate and drew an intricate pattern there.

*Rumble* *Rumble*

The X symbol on the gate shrunk and spun. Simultaneously, the stone gate opened on each side of the wall. It was a layered gate with a four-sided mechanism.

Elysia squinted her eyes to see a red crystal in the shape of a pyramid right in the center of the enormous hall behind the layered gate.

Everyone's focus was only on a woman with long black hair like a waterfall. The woman was in a standing position and was bowing her head. She was sealed in the crystal pyramid, only her head protruding from the crystal.

As if awakened by the visitors' arrival, the woman twitched slightly and raised her head to stare at everyone. However, her attention was only drawn to the man with reddish-black hair.

"Honey, you finally came to visit me... I miss you so much. I am your Amelie. Why do you always seal me here, alone, and in the dark? I promise I will be the perfect wife to serve you by your side. Please set me free." The elegant voice characteristic of a dignified woman escaped from the sealed woman's mouth.

"Shut up you evil spirit! I know that you are not Amelie. Don't you ever dare to use her voice to talk to me!" Arthur instantly became annoyed and angry.

*Swoosh*

The wind stirred because of the Emperor's fury and shot toward the crystal pyramid like a gale blow. But, Arthur quickly dispelled it before it hit his wife.

"Hehe-haha! You are very easy to anger, as usual, Arthur. Did you miss your Amelie so much, but realized she wasn't there? Keke." Amelie's voice suddenly turned hoarse and harsh. She laughed with her mouth wide open as if her cheeks were torn from it.

Seeing Arthur remained silent, the evil spirit glanced at the others. "Did you come with your new big family? It's very sad because you have forgotten your first wife and started a new life. Don't you know that I have devoured your wife over and over again? She couldn't say anything but begged for mercy and asked me to stop."

"What do you mean by that?" Arthur frowned. His wife's spirit once came out, perhaps to ask for help, when the evil spirit was off guard. Therefore, he did not understand what the evil spirit was saying.

"You don't understand? Then-" The evil spirit was about to continue his chatter, but his words were suddenly cut short.

"Hm, an evil spirit from Devil Race with a power fragment of an accursed monster. That filthy entity is at Saint-level and has contaminated that mortal body." Rhea suddenly spoke her analysis. She became the center of everyone's attention.

"Oho? It seems, you're not an ordinary baby. Why don't you come over here and let this queen play with you?" The evil spirit instantly became interested and stared at the little girl with mint green hair.

"You are not worthy to command me." Rhea just snorted and ignored the evil spirit. She knew that it wouldn't be too severe to handle as long as Elysia intervened to solve the problem.

'Little Nell, that woman can still be saved if you ask Master Elysia and Master Elena for help. Or, you can tell Arthur about it.' Rhea gave a piece of kind advice via telepathy.

'Okay.' Nell completely believed in her big sister.

Her big sister clearly knew about accursed monsters more than her because her big sister had experienced much worse things. But, everything was successfully handled by Elysia and Elena.

Nell closed her eyes, then opened them again. Her eyes gleamed gold as her holy magic worked on analyzing the area as a whole. "An accursed evil spirit, do you have any final words before you are annihilated?"

That sentence shocked not only the evil spirit but Arthur as well. The two of them immediately stared at the floating golden aura of the little Goddess with different reasons of surprise.

Arthur stared as if he couldn't believe that his wife couldn't be saved. Only the path of extermination was the solution, just like what happened to the devil burned by the golden fire yesterday.

Meanwhile, the evil spirit was shocked to her core to find out that a divine being had appeared before her.

"Hahaha! You're really asking your Goddess, the Goddess of Blessings for help, perhaps? A divine being willing to descend into this filthy world to help a worthless mortal and his wife? Are you too relaxed and bored in heaven?" The evil spirit laughed and shouted at the divine being.

"The- the Goddess of Blessings, c-can you save my wife? If that's possible, please just exterminate that evil spirit from this world." Arthur stammered and was completely worried about his wife's fate.
