New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

Chapter 554 Rescue And Aftermath



In the cellar, there were two people who were severely malnourished and bound by thick iron chains.

Their legs, hands, and neck were covered with a large shackle that saps out the mana they accumulate. This stopped them from gathering enough power to break the bounds and escape their cellar.

They weakly looked up, summoning all their strength.

Kayden immediately recognizes the people inside.

He and his dad share the same high-bridge nose and almond-shaped eyes.

He and his mom share the same copper-brown hair and lush green eyes.

That was indeed his mom and dad!

Every feature he had of his original appearance came from these two people in front of them.

His entire body trembled as his soul stirred violently. For years he had longed to find his parents, and even as he entered his third decade of being alive, he prayed and prayed that this day would arrive.

But before he could call out his mother and father, he felt something strange on Eli's side.

He then looked in her direction and found that she seemed to lose her strength because of too much emotional stirring.

"Mum…" She called out, surprising everyone in the room.

But no matter how confused he was, he still stood by Eli's side and supported her along with Baobao.

Then both of them looked at the people in the room.

Eli locked her eyes on the woman who was bound to the wall.

Those same gentle and warm eyes looked at her in surprise. At first, she looked at her with disbelief in her eyes, then surprise, then astonishment, and finally relief.

'That's my mum!' Eli wanted to shout it out loud but her lips could not stop trembling.

'Mum! That's my mommy!' Eli exclaimed in her heart as a flood of memories appeared in her mind.

That warm hand taught her patiently how to play the piano and violin. That warm smile that she wakes up to every day.

Those were the same loving unwilling eyes that looked at her one last time the moment she died.

It was all her mom's! The person in front of her was her mum!

""E…li…" As if she resonated with Eli's emotion, Yelena tried to open her mouth and utter Eli's name.

But too bad, she was currently too weak to even say her name at the moment.

At that moment, Kayden knew something was going on, even his father Cornelius knew that there was something bizarre happening with the two women.

"Baobao, help me take my parents away from the cella, Wisey please look after Eli for a moment." Kayden knew that Eli was not in the right capacity to function at the moment and so he took it upon himself to rescue his parents.

Eli seemed to have been awoken from her roller coaster of emotions and finally reacted.

In the end, even though she was trembling, she still tried to contain her feelings and save the two from the chamber.

Clink… Clash…

One by one, the chains were carefully taken out. Baobao and Kayden immediately carried the two out of the chamber into the faint light. He immediately examined their condition and found out that they have been tortured and starved for a long time.

Eli sat beside them, dutifully watching as Kayden administers first aid procedures to them and fed them with the most gentle nourishing potion to restore some of their vitality.

Yelena immediately slept upon taking the vitality potion. Her originally tense eyes now began to relax as she peacefully rested to recover.

Eli's eyes did not leave Yelena at the moment because right now, she was sure that the mum she had in her previous life was also the same as the person in front of her.

It did not take her long to realize the possibility that her mum also transmigrated to this world the moment she died.

However, she knew that it was not yet time for them to deal with the specifics at the moment, they had to finish what they were doing so that they could immediately prepare for the war that was about to happen.

"M-my boy… the asani… remains… over there…" Cornelius on the other hand remained alert. He immediately caught Kayden's attention and used his strength to point in a certain direction.

"We will do as you said. But your condition comes first. We have to take you to a safe place before doing anything further in…" Kayden gently looked at her father and understood his worries.

However, it was not appropriate for him and Eli to just leave them unattended and so they decided to regroup with Gabriel and the rest first.

Just like that the operation to overturn the holy island finally ended. When the night came, they set up a camp in the woods to take care of the rescued and the wounded. After all, there was almost nothing left in the temple complex after the rampage of a hundred curse puppets.

As for the people working in the laboratory and the outer courtyard, the truth was revealed to them and they were also sheltered.

However, those who had committed atrocities had their own places. Even if they were under the brainwashing of the evil Specter, the blood in their hands could not be washed.

That night, the holy island for the first time in its establishment did not light up. It remained dark in the ruins of the blood of the evil and the fallen.

They were attacked so silently as such no one has yet to know what really happened.

"The headquarters sent a message, they apologize that they could not send people as the setting up of the array on their side is a lot more complicated." Prince Nalu explained to Eli, Kayden, and the two captains, as they were the key figures of the operation.

"Everything has been settled, we cannot pressure the headquarters when they also have several territories to protect. I believe that everyone here fully accepted the risk of carrying out this operation in such a short time." Gabriel shook his head and explained.

The rest nodded, the operation was successful because of heaven's favor. They were fully aware that winning this was close to impossible, but still a miracle happened. And so, they would not blame another person for the lives of the people that were lost on their end.

"What would be our next move then…" Nalu looked at the people around with worried faces.

The vicinity of the Vanderford Empire and the holy island was only for a day. In fact, the very fact that the light in the holy temple's tower is not lit most likely would call attention to Vanderford.

"We shall move in a few hours, let's take the people with us first and take them to a safe land… The Headquarters have also decided to take a hold of this place and so I am afraid that we would have to leave some people to defend." Prince Nalu relayed the decision of the elders.

"How about High Priest Enoch, what is his decision?" Abaddon looked at Nalu and asked.

"The High Priest's intention was to summon all the other priests and temple knight orders who remained faithful to their calling. They will come in this place as soon as the array is fixed on their end."

"Alright then… let us, the people of the temple stay and guard the land. The rest of you shall take the rest to a safe place." Abaddon then decided.

In his view, the holy island is their duty, they would not let the Spectre take a hold of this place again.

Everyone's face is complicated.

They have just survived an intense fight, but now they have to stay calm once again.

Because the next problem was meeting Vanderford and Spectre's retaliation.

"Let us gamble on the fact that the Pope and the rest are still in transit. Then we pray that the reinforcements will come. I have this nagging feeling… that this place will be the last battleground of this war." Eli could not help but comment.

She did not know, but there was something that makes her feel uneasy at the moment.

Setting aside the matter of Cornelius and Yelena, she feels like there was still something that they were not ready for.

In the end, she could not point a finger at it, so she could only subtly warn everyone while she does not have any proof yet.

After the meeting, Eli and Kayden went back downstairs once again, this time they were now holding a blueprint of the underground structure. This was given to them by the administrators who were able to snatch the other administrator's belongings.

Then made it easy for them to explore the remaining part of the underground laboratory.

Standing in the direction where Cornelius pointed earlier, they immediately followed the instruction in the blueprint and opened the room.

There they saw a room that was extremely frozen. A hundred glass caskets were kept and even as they were filled with a thick layer of frost, Eli and Kayden could immediately determine who they were!

They were the corpses of the Asani villagers!
