Chapter 570 Revealed!!!
"So that is the person the oracle was talking about..."
Emperor Razak looked at Eli's blurry figure behind the dust and rubble, still not realizing that with her was the famed Panda contracted beast.
The Pope, on the other hand, went straight to take Rachana's body and used his powers to heal her critical wounds.
His face darkened the moment he realized how severe her injury was.
"This kind of injury can only be inflicted by those who were blessed by the guardians..." He frowned as he could not help but remember the true Paladin whom they briefly encountered in the Mellenberg territory.
Wondering who she really was, Pope Ramir looked at Eli whose figure slowly became clearer.
His eyes dilated in shock as he finally saw half of Eli's face, because the mask which had been protecting her, the staff, and the cloak which was given to her by the late High Priest was already destroyed in protecting her from his ruthless attack.
"Black hair, obsidian eyes... Asani!"
He shouted in disbelief as his body shuddered in excitement, anger, and frustration. "You are a real, full-blooded asani!"
Pope Ramir's voice was heard by everyone as he used mana in his voice as well.
Therefore, everyone on the battlefield finally realized the face under the mask of the mysterious being that has been fighting against Rachana.
Eli tried her best to stand up straight, holding her broken staff intently. As if on cue, the moment the people's eyes laid on her, the mask finally crumbled like powder, revealing her face.
Although part of her face was covered with blood, the striking aura she naturally had could not be concealed.
Somehow, the moment the allied forces saw Baobao, they immediately knew that it was Eli who was fighting all along.
But they were shocked to hear Pope Ramir's words when he told them that ELi was an asani.
The others had been seeing Eli with her black hair as they thought that she was also one of the women who wanted to dye her hair black every now and then.
So it was a shock to them that it was not because she liked to dye her hair but it was because of her true identity that she had black hair.
All along she had been sporting a testament of her true identity only that she was wearing a hazel brown eye color.
Of course, among all the allied forces, the only people who knew Eli's real identity were Kayden, Mishael, and Nalu as he belonged to the royalty of the Merfolk race.
But still, they could not help but become alert and worried when they realized that Eli's identity was already revealed to all.
"Y-your majesty! She is none other than the great inventor Eli!" One of the Lieutenants from the enemy side also realized Eli's identity and immediately shouted to inform Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak.
"What?!" The two exclaimed in shock.
It was already shocking for them to finally realize that the true Paladin was an asani but to know that she had been out in the entire Prasinos as the genius inventor everyone was talking about, they could no longer contain the frustration they had.
Emperor Razak and Pope Ramir started to feel frustrated and insulted because the one that they wanted to defeat the most was actually making waves of changes in the world.
She was even openly blocking their plans for Rachana and the Spectre!
"Passport system... and the extreme block out of the Seirende Empire for undocumented travels..."
"Various medical and scientific studies..."
"Contributions on the mechanism of curse power detection and cure potion..."
"All of which were somehow related to you... You have been ruining our plans all along!" Emperor Razak raised his index finger and pointed at Eli as he shuddered while shouting.
"You, whether you are the inventor or the paladin... you have been giving us a headache all along!"
"You are really the Spectre's enemy, Asani Eli!" Emperor Razak bellowed as he was shaking all over.
At once, all the frustrations he experienced upon knowing that their plans to infiltrate the Seirende Empire back then came back to his mind and he was instantly livid.
Pope Ramir did not react right away as he was weighing his options. Although it was true that Eli was an enemy, her body and abilities were too precious for him.
When he first knew that she was an asani, he remembered a certain scientist back then who was giving them an anonymous report about his experimentation on what he believed was an asani girl.
Although they never verified the authenticity of his claim, the records that he sent greatly helped them in their own experimentation. In fact, the matter of harvesting the receptors one by one and extracting them from one body to another all came from that madman.
He never believed that what that madman was experimenting with was an asani until about three years ago, when he received a report that an asani was spotted in the Silver Dew forest.
But after that report, there was no sighting of the asani at all. He was initially interested in it and asked the Vesala's side of the Spectre to initiate the search but who would have thought that months after the first sighting, the Black Hair fashion would rise?
Now even if they knew that there was an asani that existed, they could not find them easily because many women started to dye their hair black.
It would be impossible for them to use a high-powered optical spell for every woman they see to inspect their real eye color as well!
"The black hair fashion... it seems like it was also you who caused that to happen, isn't it?" Pope Ramir stood up while he connected the dots. He made sure that Rachana was recuperating steadily under his protection while he turned his attention to Eli.
As an inventor, it would not be impossible for Eli to have invented a way for people to dye their hair black.
Eli did not answer, instead, she was trying to circulate her holy powers and mana to recover.
Pope Ramir did not need her answer as well, because it was too obvious now that they figured out who she was.
However, his body froze when he realized something, and immediately he became excited!
"You... have an offspring! You have a child!" He suddenly exclaimed as if he was feeling elated.
Not only did he find an asani, but the asani was able to give birth to another asani! This would be extremely important to Lord Raven's future as well.
Eli, Baobao, and Wisey were shocked at Pope Ramir's words. They could not believe that he was saying these words.
'How in the world did he know?!'
They all panicked.
Nalu, Mishael, and Kayden panicked as well, but now, they were still too injured to rescue Eli.
"The report of a pregnant woman with a feature of an asani appeared about three years ago in Argentum. You are tied with the Forgeworns who owned the Argentum... You definitely have a child!"
Dun! Dun!
A cold wave of goosebumps drowned Eli as she heard Pope Ramir's conjunction. How could this be... that careless mistake that time... cost her so much now.
She felt like she was drowning in the abyss... Now everything was exposed and she had no way to escape this other than to defeat these two people and every enemy in the present at once!
"Who might be the father then? Could it be the Third Prince as well?" Emperor Razak also chimed in, but the moment they said this, they already knew the answer.
As the Third Prince's fiance, a member of the Forgeworn and Farauld, there is no way that Leon would now know and bother about the existence of the child.
There are two possibilities. One is that the child did not live upon birth, which is impossible knowing that the Forgeowrns and Farauld had good connections, they will not allow the child to die at birth.
Second was that the child was his, Third Prince Leon's son!
"And if the child was his..." Emperor Razak looked at Pope Ramir, their eyes met and they became more excited.
An asani, a real asani with the blood of the Seirende!
The child was probably born and existing for more than a year now!
All along the thing they were trying to achieve has already been done! All they needed was to know where he was.
"Where is the child!" Pope Ramir looked at Eli greedily and asked.
Eli did not answer, in fact, she could no longer think straight. Because she was extremely panicking at the moment.
She no longer knows what to do... Little Han's existence was exposed!
Now even if she denied it, the thing was too obvious and she was facing the Pope, who had mind-reading abilities.
True enough as Eli remained silent, the Pope did not bother hearing her reply and walked forward.
Baobao and Wisey moved to block him but he just simply waved his hand while saying, "It doesn't matter. A little peek at your mind will do!"
