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



Caeli looked at the two souls who were now in the form of two white light orbs with gentle golden swirls of light hovering in them. 

Caeli looked at them with anxiousness and care at the same time. 

"Are you worried about Caeli?" Suddenly the voice of the Great One rang, to her asking her gently.

"Only this time… for there has not been any soul melding with one of them injured by the Fallen's decay," Caeli replied. 

"You shall not worry, for the cleansing has been done. They shall be one, even when the enemy tries to interfere… Those enemies cannot go against my will." The Great One said. 

Although his form did not appear around Caeli and the two souls, Caeli could feel that the Great One was looking at the two souls gently, full of love and warmth. 

"...'She' both had done great things and endured hardship. 'She' will surely succeed." The Great One declared. 

Caeli only nodded and looked at the two souls slowly melding into one. 

Inside, Elise was now seeing everything that happened in Eli's life. 

She knew from Caeli that Eli had already received a fragment of her memories, but because it was not a real assimilation, Eli was unable to fully understand Elise's feelings at that time and only watched her memories unravel to her like a movie.

Elise at the moment was reliving the life that Eli had. 

While Eli was doing that as well. 

The agony and the pain. 

The warmth and the victories. 

The embarrassment and helplessness. 

All of them were being ingrained and understood by the two as they were witnessing each other's lives. 

As they did this, their souls, which were just the size of a soccer ball, slowly grew. 

"Mum…' Elise looked at Yelena's dying state as she was consumed in the hospital, shivering in heartbreak. 

As far as her original life goes, she never met the woman. 

But why does it devastate her so much to see her life slowly wither before her eyes?

If she was in human form at the moment, she would have clutched her heart and beat it hard. Because the pain was too much for her to bear that she would just want to rip her heart out to run away from the pain. 

That pain even intensified, when she was relieved the moment Eli saw her biological mother who cursed her for being the product of her filthy past. 

She relived how Eli lived like a human without a soul. A money-making puppet only wakes up to earn a salary and goes home to lie in bed in a daze. 

It was a dull life, Elise could totally concur with Eli at this point. It was really so dull that it is tragic. 

Eli on the other hand was in a daze. 

The memory that struck her the most was that moment when she ran out of Kayden's villa after Elise tried to put up a brave front to Leon. 

After that, she felt Elise's internal battle. The man was his adoptive brother's best friend and her savior. 

How could they suddenly share a bed?!

Her heart beat fast, how could a maiden like her, who only saw the outside world for four years understand the gravity of what happened that night?

And so Eli relived the way Elise shook her head and brushed off the thoughts in her mind, until the moment she discovered that she was pregnant. 

The shock, hesitation, fear, and regret attacked her young mind aggressively, leaving her helpless and insecure. 

At that moment, she felt that she no longer deserved everyone's earth as she had betrayed their feelings. 

She after all had no idea that the matter was not her and Leon's choice but a scheme made by the enemy. 

So she beat herself up for several nights reprimanding herself why she was so 'lustful' and 'promiscuous'. 

Outwardly, she smiled at the people of the Riverfort Hospital, but when she was in front of Kayden, she could barely raise her head in shame and guilt. 

The jar of her emotions suddenly broke, and one day she woke up with a decision to finally take action to get rid of the child. 

She sneaked out of the hospital to go to town for a few herbs that could induce miscarriage. 

However, when she was already there, her body shivered. 

Why would she do this?

Why would she kill her own child?

She realized how she came to live. She was unwanted, someone whose life does not even bear value to her very own parents. The only value that she had was the few silver shinies given to her parents when the madman bought her to torture. 

Now would she be cruel like them to an innocent child?

All these emotions were relieved by Eli. 

Especially the desperation she had when she was murdered by the tracking knight Igor in the forest. 

How she watered the ground in her tears to tell the heavens how aggrieved she was. 

How she begged all the guardians to let her child live. 

After they relieved each other's lives, two souls looked at each other. 

"It seems that our lives have been tragic and sorrowful, is it?" Elise's voice rang. 

"Do not worry, we will be happy… we have Little Han, we have Leon… we have our friends and family… we will live in joy for sure, Elise." 

Eli replied, she knew that Elise had also relieved the moment when she took over her body, birthed Little Han, and developed feelings for Leon. 

Now she knew that what she felt, was also what she felt. And she was the same as well. 

At this moment, every part, emotion, and joy in both their lives have been deeply ingrained and combined into one big and beautiful soul. 

Elise. 

A name that they shared, a destiny they both owned. 

The golden light on their souls intertwined as Eli and Elise's consciousness slowly melded into each other. 

To say that one of the personalities would dominate and the other would be overpowered is wrong. 

For both the individuality of Eli and Elise would cease to exist because once they become one, a new person is born.

It's just Elise.

One who lived two lives yet loved the same set of people. 

Meanwhile, it's the seventh day since the war started. 

Leon, Grandpa Andi, and Grandpa Ben were fighting desperately against a fallen angel Lord Raven. 

They could have been dead long ago if not for the fact that the guardians intervened.

On the third day of their fight, the gates of mana in Prasinos suddenly opened and flowed like a gigantic ocean. That was the first miracle. 

The second miracle was that all those righteous who managed to survive at that moment did not even experience receptor fatigue, which was one of the phenomena that should have happened as soon as the first day of the war. 

Then there was the speedy recovery of Kayden and the rest of the injured people from the first battle. They appeared in full condition after the third day of the war as well and joined the battle against the demonoid Specter army which helped the others persist until the seventh day. 

However, even after fighting for so long, there was still no sign of the tables turning in their favor. 

The army of the enemy remained strong if any of these that were repeated seemed to keep on resurrecting like an endless pest. 

If they did not excuse all their cure potions at hand, they would not have permanently killed a few. 

But at this very moment, despair came upon them. 

Even High Priest Enoch, who had now permanently lost an eye, was now in complete despair. 

That is because the last cure potion has been consumed. 

Unless someone from the mainland delivered them supplies, they could no longer reduce the number of enemies before them. 

And their side could only slowly dwindle due to exhaustion. 

Randel, Kazimir, Antoine, Kayden, and the rest looked in Eli's direction. 

Her body was still battered, but she was already out of critical condition. 

Yelena was accompanying her protectively as she continued to inject healing power into her body. 

'When will she wake up?' All the surviving people asked. 

Leon clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. 

Can he really not do anything?

Would their efforts go down the drain after all the fights they gave?

What can he do? How can he save his people?

How can he live to see Eli and Little Han alive and well?

Is it really that hopeless?

Lord Raven saw the minuscule opening that was caused by Leon's distraction. 

"You shall not let your mind wander when you are not even strong enough to face the enemy!" Lord Raven smiled as he immediately flashed in front of Leon to stab his heart with his sharp nails, 

"Third Prince!" Grand Master Andi was nearer to Leon and so he was the first one to move. 

He flashed with his dwarven body and extended his Warhammer to block Lord Raven's nails from reaching Leon's heart. 

It was so fast that even Leon froze momentarily. 

Suddenly droplets of blood sprayed on his face and his crystal blue eyes shook in disbelief. 

He reached out his hand to catch Grandpa Andi's body in his arms.

"G-grand…master…" He muttered in panic.
