Reincarnated as a World

Ch.312 Next Phase

Dragons of all colours streamed across the sky and they no longer hid their aura. In fact, they had even gone the extra step to make their aura visible, displaying the natures of their magic and essence, along with their level of affinity. Cloaks of flame, cloaks of water, cloaks of wind and more. It was a beautiful, terrifying sight, and it made Titania’s heart skip a beat.

All of the Dragons let out majestic roars that could not be ignored by the fighters below, and very soon all attention was on their fleet. Some people reacted quickly and they started throwing powerful attacks, trying to stop the Dragons from doing whatever it was that they were planning, but it was futile.

All in one synchronised go, the Dragons all opened their mouths and released… utter devastation. Dragon Breaths spilled out of their mouths like tsunamis and began to annihilate everything. By now they had flown over the forest and they were quickly moving deeper, and that was the only thing preventing the people on the shore, ally or not, from perishing.

The initial point of their attack had been the back line of the forces of Envy (they were the ones who were tasked with being the last defence to the forest), and in a near instant they were all eradicated, leaving the fight on the shore completely lopsided in an instant.

‘How powerful…’ Titania thought with mixed feelings, watching as the Dragons flew deeper into the Continent, leaving behind a trail of magic and death all the way.

Only the planet remained intact.

‘Time to move.’ She told herself before she activated one of the Innate Skills granted to her from birth. [Verdant Zephyr].

Her body abruptly burst into a clutter of leaves that all flew into different directions. Unfortunately, the garments she was wearing could not be brought along and they fell towards the ground without her. It was a little conspicuous, but with everyone’s attention stuck on the Dragons she was as hidden and unassuming as she would ever be.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The leaves all travelled in different directions and at different paces, but they all soon ended up in the same location and began to reassemble her. The final leaf attached itself to her face and morphed into her left eye.

To be honest, that had been very risky. That skill was great for travel but under no circumstances could it be used as a defensive manoeuvre. If just one of those leaves were damaged, the part of her body that it had replaced would also be damaged. If a leaf was destroyed by any stray attack, that would be a part of her body that she would never get back. As such, it was not something that she often left to chance.

However, when she jumped onto a flying monster who knows how high into the air, the plan had been to fall most of the trip down in her natural state and then use Verdant Zephyr a few moments before impact. This is something that she had done many times in the past and there was little to no danger.

But as fate would have it, the time for her to disappear had come at an awkward time and that had forced her to take a risk.

Thankfully, her luck wasn’t bad and she hadn’t met any trouble. She had successfully reunited with her group. Speaking of said-group, they were currently standing in front of her, looking at her with awkward or carefully expressionless faces.

‘I really surprised them, huh.’ She thought wryly. ‘I wonder what they’re thinking.’

These were a few of the Grand Elder Elves (including Alan) who she had ordered to find a location to hide whilst the rest of the Elves joined the battle. But although they had been given more insight into her real plans and that was why they were all here, they too had been deceived. They had not been informed of her decision to go on a killing spree, and that was why they were looking at her like that.

However, they were not daft. They must now be connecting the dots between her actions and the controversial order given by Gaia in the first Continental Meeting.

“What’s with your faces, have you never seen a Queen go for an exercise before? Green up a little!” She said as she walked towards one of the Grand Elders who had an especially sour face and patted him on the shoulder. But then she paused in thought.

“Ugh, no. Don’t do that. Stupid Envy, his egregious relation to the colour green has damaged our culture. Some people even have suspicions that I’m afflicted by his corruption because of the colour of my skin. Thankfully, I’m a darker green and have been this colour a lot longer than Envy has been, otherwise I’d probably be besieged no matter what I said.” Titania rambled.

She looked lost in thought and a little air headed, but this was another outward persona that she was using to lower the guard of the people before her. Although she looked lost, her Spirit Sense was encasing every part of their bodies and would not miss a single twitch. If they had any suspicious reaction to her mentioning of Envy, she would not hesitate to act.

For her next duty, she could not afford to carry along traitors. Luckily, it seemed like there were no problems. Either that or there was a very good actor.

“Let’s go.” She told them. They nodded before following her into the forest. All of them began moving deeper into the forest, leaping from tree to tree with perfect ease, showing the experience that they had with this kind of travel.

However, the deeper they went, the more confused Titania became.

‘This feeling… The ambient Magical Energy is changing. Have I… Have I stumbled upon Sacred Land?’ Her heart lurched at the thought of that possibility. That would not be good. At all.

Owners of Sacred Lands were very good at discovering intruders, it was like a seventh sense that they had that could not be easily explained. As a joint owner of a Sacred Land herself, she would know.

This meant that if this was really a Sacred Land and the owner was here, there was a very good chance that the being could find her no matter how well she hid, and that was very counterproductive for Titania’s intentions.

But there was no way that she could tell. Only the Beast Race could get an accurate answer on whether a territory had a true owner, albeit, only if they were close enough to smell it.

‘This is a problem.’ She thought, her mood sinking a little.
