Episode 83 Fairy Dragon

「It's been a while since we leisurely walked in the forest like that」「Hey, we are not here to play around. You should keep looking too」 Gon, as well as Irimo, and I calmly moved through the Kurumfar…

「It’s been a while since we leisurely walked in the forest like that」

「Hey, we are not here to play around. You should keep looking too」

Gon, as well as Irimo, and I calmly moved through the Kurumfar forest.

Indeed, when was the last time we walked around like that? In addition, it also feels like it’s been a while since I spent some time with Gon.

Even after the harvest, we were still as busy as before. The supermarket that I left with Willis ended up being quite prosperous. At first, I thought that this sudden rush of customers should end after a week, however, even three months later there was no shortage of customers, on the contrary, their numbers kept increasing.

Every day, Willis’ trio was barely capable of withstanding the rush. Thus, Mei, Gon, Ferris, Luara, and I took care of the cash register as Willis and Shera handled the customers, while Yuriel, who was capable of calculation, joined us at the cash register too, which was finally enough to handle the customers.

Not just that, the hotel in the capital also purchased large amounts of kelps and vegetables and busied us with the transportation. Depending on the circumstances, I asked Sonya and Ange, who at that time finished with their work and the barrier stones store, to help at the cash register as I worked on the deliveries.

Of course, I paid the mother-daughter pair for their overtime work. Daquet Company is operating according to the Japanese Labor Law!

At the beginning, it was open every day but, closer to the New Year, I established a regular day-off. Willis was opposed to it as well as the customers but without it, our bodies won’t last. Willis and the customers had no choice but to reluctantly agree. However, thanks to that some customers became aware of our troubles and became our part-time workers. That helped us greatly. Thanks to that, the supermarket is able to function even without our help.

And once the calm returned to our lives I headed towards the lake, which I used for irrigational purposes. Apparently, there are trees that smell like vanilla near the lake.

Where there is vanilla there are sweet. I can’t let go of this opportunity.

I owe that hint to the harpies. I coincidentally smelled vanilla emanating from their wings when they came to make a report. According to them, they took a break to rest near the lake. I had a faint memory of that tree. There was indeed a giant tree near the lake. Just like that, there was a notion to go looking for it and that’s how we arrived at this situation.

That big tree wasn’t that far, only 30 minutes of flying on Irimo away. However, I didn’t use this method but chose to walk instead.

One hour after we entered the forest. There were monsters in this forest but they didn’t even try to attack us. Apparently. I’m rather hated by them.

「Ah, I can see it. It’s that tree」

We’ve finally arrived near the giant tree. Indeed, there is a faint smell of vanilla. I tried appraising it but it didn’t seem to be a vanilla tree.

「Strange. This is just a normal tree. Even I have no idea why it smells like that. How about we let Mei-dono take a look at it? 」

Yes, we should, I answered as I put some branches into my infinite storage.

「Come to think of it, are you hungry?」

「Let’s see, it about time for lunch already」

「Then I’ll make one」

「Right here? With Irimo-dono’s help, it won’t be difficult to return to the mansion」

「No, eating in the middle of the forest from time to time doesn’t sound that bad, right? Nice weather, beautiful forest, and lake. Isn’t eating in such an environment quite luxurious? 」

「That makes sense. I didn’t taste Master’s personally made food for quite a while」

I immediately took out rice from the infinite storage and started cooking using the water from the lake. The water here was of a good quality and, more than anything, drinkable. For a side dish, I took out slices of mackerel and cooked them using charcoal. It produced a lot of smoke and smell in the process but, since we were outdoors, I chose not to mind. Like that, the salt-grilled mackerel was completed.

Cooked rice and salt-grilled mackerel. There was no need for anything else. Gon and I ate with great energy. [¹]

「Delicious」

「Right? Salt-grilled mackerel is all that you need. As long as you have some tasty rice you don’t need anything else」

「Gurururu」

Hearing weird sounds from behind I turned around and saw some strange creature hiding in a shade of a tree.

Its color was light blue and its body resembled that of a small dragon. It had beautiful butterfly-like wings on its back and it observed from the shade of the big tree

「Is it……..fairy dragon? 」

「Fairy dragon?」

「It’s a subspecies of dragons, it’s not that strong. Although it’s strong, it doesn’t have a breath attack, if I’m to list its strengths that would only be its flight speed. It’s famous for eating flowers」

「Mm, is it dangerous?」

「It’s cowardly in general, there are no cases of them attacking humans」

「Gururururu」

It kept watching us with fascinated eyes. It seemed to be hungry.

「Could it be, are you hungry? You can have this mackerel if you don’t mind」

I threw a piece of salt-grilled mackerel its way. The fairy dragon stared at it for a while before eventually taking it inside its mouth,

「Akya, kiyua, kiyua!」

「Did you like it? Don’t hold back, eat as much as you like」

I baked more mackerel as I made some onigiri and threw them. The fairy dragon seemed to like it.

「Here, ohagi as a dessert, you can eat while you’re at it」

「Kiyua! Kiyua! 」

It seemed pretty happy. If it’s that happy, it was worth making it. However, looking closely, there was only one wing on the back of the fairy dragon.

「Huh? There is only one wing on its back」

「It won’t be able to fly this way. How unusual」

「I see, let’s heal it then」

I put a barrier on the fairy dragon and moved it in my direction. As expected, the fairy dragon tried to escape but was ultimately hindered by my barrier and couldn’t move.

「Akya, kiyuaaaa…….」

I didn’t mind its fear as I cast Extra Heal. Then, the lost wing was restored, together with two horns on its head, which it apparently lost before.

「I suffered a lot. With this, it should be alright…….Come to think of it, this guy is ridiculously cute」

Looking closely, it had very beautiful eyes and charming face.

「Here we go. It’s about time we go back, be careful out there」

I dispelled the barrier. Since the fairy dragon was making a bewildered face, I pinched its restored wing. The dragon trembled as it subconsciously turned its head back. And, once it confirmed the existence of its wing, its eyes turned round.

When it cautiously flapped its wings, its body took off the ground. It looked around in a fluster trying to confirm that it was indeed flying. Then, with a bewildered face, it confirmed the existence of horns on its head.

「Kiyuwaaan. Kiyuwaaan」

It shed tears. I guess it was just that happy. However, since the beginning, this dragon didn’t speak at all. Is it supposed to talk in the first place?

「It’s considered a norm for the dragons to be able to use telepathy. Kukulkans, like Ferris-dono, and other highly intelligent subspecies are capable of speech but, apparently, this dragon didn’t achieve that yet」

「I see. Well, we are going back so you should return to your flock. Don’t get into trouble this time」

Having said that, we went back to our mansion.

「What’s wrong, Rinos?」

「Un, how should I explain?」

When we came back to the Kurumfar mansion Rico, who went outside to greet us, was greatly surprised. That wasn’t surprising. After all, there was a small dragon with beautiful wings hanging on my chest.

Soon after we separated, I felt myself getting heavier. Looking down I saw the fairy dragon hanging on my chest. It appeared after completely bypassing my presence detection. Very frightening, from a certain perspective.

I could have confined it in a barrier but, anyway, this fairy dragon is cute. We looked into each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes……..and that’s how we arrived at this point.

With it being a dragon, it clung to with tremendous power and refused to separate. I could have separated it by sacrificing my clothes but, by doing that, I would have enraged Rico, which brings us to this conversation.

The dragon clung to me with a pleasant expression, as it lightly flapped its wings. However, when she saw this scene

「Gyauaaa! Kiyuaaaaaaa! 」

Itora, the Mansion’s Princess, became angry. She flapped her wings as she flew around me trying to intimidate the dragon. I won’t lose, agya! Agya! She screamed aggressively. Apparently, they argued due to the rights to be in my embrace.

「Yes yes yes, stop it, you two」

Rico came close as clapped her hands. Then, she embraced the fairy dragon from behind separated it from me and put it on the table.

「Since that’s the case, let me tell you this」

Rico stood next to me and linked hands.

「Rinos belongs to me only」

「Kiyuaaa…….」

「Ayaa………」

The three’s eyes produced sparks. Hey~, everyone, can you stop please? I’m scared.

Lydia heard what had happened and quickly rushed to window. Luckily, no one was stationed outside. She left the room through the window and quickly rushed out of the mansion. On her way out, she heard screams coming from the mansion. Hardening her mind, she continued running. Right now she couldn’t afford to intervene as she knew she wasn’t strong enough to be of any help to them. She could only go forward and hope for the best. In reality, she knew hoping was pointless as they would unfailingly be killed.

Within the mansion, Oaklif was quietly sitting while he waited for the warriors and guards to finish searching the house. After a couple of minutes of waiting, the warriors that searched the house came to report back to Oakliff.

“Did you find her?”

“No sir, I think she might have escaped through the window.” One of the warriors responded.

“Interesting. Given her intelligence, she should have figured out what’s going on. She should also know nowhere would be safe for her within this city. Her only option now is to ask those experts for help.”

“Send people to cover every exit from the city. Pay whatever it takes to hire those experts. Moore, lead everyone to the Rosemary Inn. This time around, we must kill that girl and all her associates.”

Over at the Rosemary Inn, Willard was currently sitting on a bed, checking some of the items Sebastian had given him. Ahmed and Baya were having some drinks at the bar within the inn. Due to some strange situation, they were both seating on the same table. Although Ahmed hated Baya and his current situation, he couldn’t do anything while Willard was in the area. He did not know the exact extent of Willard’s power, but from he already knew, he wasn’t willing to test him.

As Ahmed thought about his situation he frowned even more. He was angry and without an avenue to vent his anger. Baya stared at Ahmed for a little bit and guessed what he was thinking. He knew Ahmed hated him to the bones, but couldn’t act on that anger. Baya moved his gaze to a server that walked by. “Another drink” he softly said. The server looked over at Ahmed. “And you sir?” he asked.

*************

Lydia was currently running towards the Rosemary Inn, she was secretly hoping that Baya and Willard decided to stay at that inn. She knew there was a possibility that they would have decided to not stay at that particular inn or decided to just continue their journey altogether. If they left the city, she knew that was it for her. There was no way she would survive, given her current predicament.

Lydia rushed into the Rosemary Inn and stared around the place. She was scanning to see if she could recognize anyone in the group of diners that were scattered around the place. A server walked up to the currently disheveled looking Lydia. “Hi Miss, would you like me to arrange a seat for you?” She asked with an expectant smile on her face. The server could instantly tell that Lydia was of noble standings, because of her outfit and demeanor. The server knew that people like Lydia could easily fork out a couple of silver coins as a tip. An amount that could feed her entire family for a month. Her biggest hope at the moment was to get Lydia a seat and serve her.

Lydia turned to face the server with an urgent look on her face. “Did you see a group 3 men walk in here about two hours ago?” The look on the servers face immediately changed. She wasn’t particularly happy hearing Lydia’s question. If Lydia wasn’t trying to get a meal here, that meant she wouldn’t be making any money from her.

“No miss.” The server quickly responded and immediately turned to leave.

Over at the table were Baya and Ahmed were seated, Ahmed caught a glimpse of Lydia with the server and immediately increased his focus on that area. His actions surprised Baya, who turned to stare at what Ahmed was looking at. To his complete surprise, Lydia was standing there looking anxious. Baya immediately got up and walked towards her.

“Are you okay Miss Lydia?” Baya asked as he approached her.

Lydia was startled when she first heard her name but later became elated. The server that was attending to her took that opportunity to leave. “No, I am in trouble. And I have nowhere else to go,” she responded staring deeply at Baya. “Can we talk somewhere in private?”

Baya looked around before finally leading Lydia to his room. As Ahmed saw Baya leave with Lydia, a disdainful look appeared on his face. He felt both envy and anger but really couldn’t do a thing about it. As they both got into Baya’s room, Lydia began narrating everything that had happened while they were separated. She told him about her suspicions with the behaviors of the guards down to what Oaklif had done.

“Why are they trying to kill you?” Baya asked the one question that had curiously plagued his mind while he was listening to Lydia’s story. Lydia hesitated for a couple of seconds before showing a serious look on her face.

“I think this is all due to my elder brother.” She said with a scornful look to her.

“My father is currently ill and could pass away at any moment. My brother fears that father could leave the household in my hands.”

Baya had a surprised look on his face. Hearing what Lydia had said, completely surprised him. Why would her father be thinking of leaving the household in Lydia’s hands? This was something that was virtually unheard of. Most house leaders would leave the affairs of the house to a male heir, as they would mostly favor the lineage of the males. Baya composed himself and quickly shed the doubt in his mind.

“You are certain that they would be coming here for you?” Baya asked

“Yes, undoubtedly. They will also be coming with some powerful experts.”

Baya sighed and got up. “Wait here. I need to inform my master about this.” He said as he walked out of the room.

When Baya left, Lydia’s expression changed. “This is my only choice. I would never have thought brother would act so soon. Something serious must have happened while I was away. I currently do not have any backers here. I need their help to safely get back to Oriente city.”

As Baya was about to knock on Willard’s doors, he heard a loud ruckus coming from outside of the Inn. He immediately assumed it was the people from the Bastich household. Baya knocked and patiently waited for Willard. It did not take long before Willard opened the door. Baya hastily explained everything that had happened to Lydia.

“Do as you wish.” Willard softly said as he paused. “I’ll accompany you.”

Baya nodded in acknowledgment of Willard’s words. He was inwardly jubilating at the fact that Willard decided to accompany him. He did not have much faith in dealing with the situation by himself and as such hoped Willard would help out.

************

A group of warriors barged into the Rosemary Inn. The leader amongst them made a hand gesture instructing the warriors behind him to check the area. The manager of the inn quickly ran out to meet the warriors. From the insignia on their clothing, the manager could tell these were warriors of the Bastich household. “Greetings sir, how can this manager be of help to you?”

The leader stared at the manager in an imposing manner. “I am looking for some criminals and their associate. We are going to search every corner of this inn until we find them.” He said in a very loud tone. His aim was to let everyone know why they were there.

“Sir, can you describe them? We could help you find them faster.” The manager said as he tried to be on the good side of the warriors. These were the warriors of the Bastich household, although their words were not final within this city. They still had enough sway here. Whatever the case might be, he had to make sure everything happened to the liking of these warriors.

“A young lady of noble standings should have come to this inn not too long ago. Tell me where she and everyone she has interacted with are?”

The manager turned to the servers, with an inquisitive look. The server that had interacted with Lydia earlier came forward. “A woman fitting that description came in earlier. She spoke to a man before heading to the living area.” The server said before moving her gaze to a table. A thought instantly filled the mind of the server as she quickly pointed to a table.

“There sir, that man was seen together with the friend of the woman you mentioned earlier.” The server said with a bright look on her face. The table the server had just pointed to was the one currently occupied by Ahmed. As the server finished her comment, a sense of profound anger seemed to infiltrate every cell of Ahmed’s body. First he was forced to follow that unknown youth all around, and next, he was forced to stay beside the man that had killed his beloved younger brother. To top it all off, he was being considered a friend of that same man.

“Hey, you!” The leader of the group yelled as he faced Ahmed. He gestured to the rest of the warriors who immediately started to surround Ahmed.

The entire situation vexed Ahmed to his bones. “Where are your associates and that….” The leader of the group was asking before he was interrupted by Ahmed. “Shut the hell up.” Ahmed angrily yelled as he got up. Little veins appeared on Ahmed’s forehead as he stared at the warriors.

“You low life dare talk to sir Moore like that.” One of the guards that had surrounded Ahmed said as he drew out his sword and lunged in to attack Ahmed. The people that occupied the table close to Ahmed’s rushed out of the way. Not just that table, everyone within the restaurant rushed out, so as not to be casualties of the fight.

Within a split second of attacking Ahmed, a strange purple object had spontaneously appeared in front of the guard that rushed in to attack Ahmed. The guard did not have time to see or react as the object wrapped around his face, effectively blinding him and sweeping him effortlessly to the floor. The whole thing happened way too fast.

The rest of the guards surrounding Ahmed couldn’t help but stare in disbelief as their companion was being electrocuted by Ahmed. To the guard that was slammed to the floor, he had no idea what had happened to him. To the rest, all they saw was Ahmed’s right suddenly appear over their companion’s face. Ahmed’s hand movement was way too fast for anyone below the elemental energy level to see. None of them could react in time to help.

“Elemental energy level,” One of the guards said as a new sense of danger swelled up in him. The rest of the guards took a couple of steps back as they realized the kind of person they were up against.

The leader of the guards frowned as he walked towards Ahmed. “You dare kill a warrior of the Kahn household. Today you shall die.” He inwardly sighed as he stared at Ahmed. “This would be tough facing an Elemental energy expert. Hopefully, Oaklif would get them here shortly.”

Slow but melodic footsteps could be heard as three people walked down the stairs, breaking up the tense atmosphere within the restaurant. The leader of the guards stopped in his movement to stare at the newcomers, before showing a strange frown. He could instantly recognize Lydia amongst these people and immediately got a sense of who they were. What puzzled him the most was the fact that they all seemed relaxed. Usually, most people in their shoes would use this kind of opportunity to escape leaving behind their comrade. But this time around, they were casually walking towards him.

“What are you waiting for? Go get them immediately.” The leader of the guards yelled.

Hey everyone, Selutu here. Sorry for the long absence here, like I said in the previous update, somethings came up, so I had to put the novel on hiatus for a while.

Well, I’m sure you guys know what kind of crap Qidian International did this time, right? So I’ll cut straight to it. This weekend, I’ll be releasing a load of chapters (well, less than the other mass releases I’ve done), then we’ll cut it at that.

Currently, Lin Wei had already recalled everything before he transmigrated!

He was in the school library reading a thick profound book, a book that was bound parchments. The book was called 《Ancient Summoning Technique》¹.

After he opened this book, he only felt himself being hypnotized by some intangible power. For the rest of the day, his whole person was muddleheaded. Ultimately, he apparently climbed up the school’s main building roof, then jumped down.

As a result, he turned into his current appearance!

Lin Wei stood foolishly at the lakeside for a long time, looking at his reflection on the lake water, remaining silent for a very long time.

How should he describe his present figure?

Looking at it holistically, there was an extra long tail which actually resembled Earth’s kangaroo tail by 40-50%. However, the shape of his ‘hind legs²’ changed into one resembling a carnivorous dinosaur and his ‘forelimbs³’ were longer than that of a kangaroo. His figure was slimmer and more well-proportioned than that of a kangaroo. His upper body skeleton was much more obvious and seemed closer to the physique of a human body. His head was an adorable oval with two high erect pointed ears. The most important thing was that he had four ‘fingers’ per claw and could grasp things!

Slowly bending down, he lowered his head and extended his tongue to lap up a mouthful of lake water. Then, he noticed that his tongue was slender and soft.

It seems……not too bad?

……

“Ah！！！How can it be ‘not too bad’？！Why is it that when other people transmigrate, they would be a ‘Crown Prince’, ‘Princess’, or at the very least, an ordinary person, but when I transmigrated, I become an animal？！！” Lin Wei felt himself simply want to suddenly storm away.

I’m definitely dreaming! I’m definitely dreaming! Lin Wei exerted all his effort to slap his face, attempting to make himself wake up.
“Hey! Quiet down, it’s noisy.” The large rhinoceros on the side that was drinking water couldn’t keep on watching, so it opened its mouth to talk. Its body was extremely grandiose; just its shoulder exceeded Lin Wei’s height by more than 50 centimeters. Its body’s length exceeded 4 meters and from head to toe, its rhinoceros skin seemed seemed just like iron, holding the faint glittering luster of a metal.

“Quiet down? How can I calm down?” Lin Wei’s eyes turned red. He turned his head to stare at the rhinoceros and gnashed his teeth: “Everything here is false, you don’t exist! I will now prove it to you!”

As Lin Wei was speaking, he sent out force through his legs, sparing no effort to dash and collide with the rhinoceros.

“Hold on……” The rhinoceros was startled, but it didn’t have enough time to prevent him; Lin Wei’s head had already bumped into him.

A muffled ‘peng!’ sound resounded. The rhinoceros stayed in position motionless, but Lin Wei actually bounced back several meters and fell onto the ground dazed. A big blood-red bump swelled up from his forehead.

Quite sore! In particular, in that split second when the strike just hit, a counter-shock strength was transmitted from the rhinoceros’ hard skin and spread all over his body. It was as if his entire body wanted to fall apart.

“You, all right?” The rhinoceros promptly asked: “You stupid? The difference between us is too large. I, Beastly Soldier, you, uh……you bumping against me, wounded?”

What? Beastly Soldier?

Lin Wei held his head since he was still dizzy and opened his eyes to look at the rhinoceros. He then noticed that when he concentrated his attention to look at the other party, the other party’s body seemed to faintly send out some type of radiance. When this kind of radiance entered his line of sight, a magical line of information unexpectedly appeared in his mind:

Iron-skin Rhinoceros, Attribute: Gold, Status: Intermediate Level Beastly Soldier.

……

After about half an hour, Lin Wei’s strength finally came back to him. At this time, that Iron-skin Rhinoceros had already drunk its fill of water and long gone away.

Lin Wei massaged the big bump on his forehead and crawled to the waterside, then drank several mouthfuls of lake water in succession. He gasped for mouthfuls of air, falling on the ground without care for his image as he looked up at the sky. Just now, what was going on?

Lin Wei blankly stared at the sky. An extremely long snow-white bird with a red tail flew past. Lin Wei concentrated his attention on its body and very quickly, information appeared again in his mind——

Red-Tailed Snow Pheasant, Attribute: Fire, Status: Beastly Servant.

Lin Wei sat up with great effort and began to look all around. In this area of lake water and mountain peaks, there were approximately 400-500 animals in his field of view. He visually estimated that there were 50-60 different species, either soaring or running, resting or playing. He began to sweep across the bodies of these beasts.

Turquoise Wind Fox, Attribute: Wind, Status: Low Level Beastly Soldier.

Small Leaf Long-Armed Ape, Attribute: Wood, Status: Beastly Servant.

Horned Hippopotamus, Attribute: Water, Status: Intermediate Level Beastly Soldier.

Red Kite⁴, Attribute: Fire, Status: High Level Beastly Soldier!

Long-eared Earth Rat, Attribute: Earth, Status: Beastly Servant.

Brown River Raccoon Dog, Attribute: Water, Status: Beastly Servant.

……

After reading the majority of it, the overwhelming majority of the beasts’ statuses were ‘Beastly Servant’——from the literal meaning, they should be the lowest level existence similar to a slave or cannon fodder. It was even to the extent that there were levels like low level, intermediate level, high level and they all didn’t feel like differentiating. Above Beastly Servant was Beastly Soldier; they should possess the basic level of battle capability. Moreover, every animal species had their respective attributes. From what he had currently seen, there was ‘Wind’, ‘Wood’, ‘Water’, ‘Earth’, ‘Fire’, and ‘Gold’; the six types of basic attributes. Lin Wei had even seen a rare ‘Lightning’ attributed ‘Lightning-Evading Peregrine Falcon’.

Lin Wei continued to turn around his head to scout. When his gaze turned to the several tall and sturdily built gorillas by the lakeshore, his head seemed to have been suddenly hammered heavily and he involuntarily retreated several steps. What was different from the other beasts was that there was an extra “Rank” term:

Vigorous Vajra Ape, Attribute: Gold, Rank: Bronze!!! Status: Low Level Beastly Guard!!!

The appearance of the new ‘Bronze’ rank and new ‘Beastly Guard’ status caused Lin Wei’s mind to feel a stab of pain. Especially ‘rank’! This seemed to be an even higher level type of bloodline, sufficient for all other common rank organisms to agree that they would be rolled over by an overwhelming gap! Disparity, this was an absolute disparity of quality.

Just then, Lin Wei felt a formidable pressure pressing down on him and he felt similar to a small boat within a storm. One of the Vigorous Vajra Ape’s suddenly let out a great roar and stood up its 3 meter tall body. Afterwards, it turned towards Lin Wei and went over. It had sensed Lin Wei’s attentive observation and felt that its dignity received offense. Thus, it became angry!

Bronze rank ‘Beastly Guard’! Lin Wei spit out a mouthful of blood that bubbled up his throat. He could practically determine that the opposite party could instantly erase his existence!

Run without delay！！！

When the Vajra Ape was approximately 100 meters away from himself, Lin Wei began to turn his head and sent more strength into his legs, breaking into a dash.

Could he run away? The answer was ‘definitely not’——the roaring behind him was getting closer and he could infer that Vigorous Vajra Ape was quickly pulling the distance between both sides closer.

Wherever that Vajra Ape went, the average rank beasts would avoid its way with incomparable eagerness while trembling. An Iron-skin Rhinoceros that wasn’t able to get away in time bumped into it and flew horizontally 3 zhang away⁵ with its life or death unknown.

Too scary, the original solid tank-like Iron-skin Rhinoceros, an Intermediate Level Beastly Soldier, was like paper paste in front of the the Vajra Ape!

Lin Wei’s scalp tingled and he powerfully increased his pace. The amount of time he could do two steps in became three steps. ‘Sou!’, he rushed into the forest by the lakeside, hoping to possibly draw help the dense trees to slow down the other party’s pursuit.

Behind him came a loud sound. Lin Wei hurriedly turned his head to take a look and was immediately frightened out of his wits. He saw the Vigorous Vajra Ape arbitrarily dashing over, destroying all the trees in the way like they were stalks of wheat. Its speed didn’t receive any influence, moreover, the distance between both sides was already pulled to approximately 20 meters. Lin Wei could even see its angrily glaring bloodshot eyes and saliva flowing down the corner of its mouth.

The distance of 20 meters, regarding the Vigorous Vajra Ape, was a distance that could simply be neglected. It jumped up high and crossed the distance in a flash, its entire body heavily smashing onto the ground.

I’m done for! I’m screwed……Lin Wei lifted his head and saw the gigantic ape extend his palm and press down with all its golden hairs standing up. At this moment, Lin Wei already didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead. Transmigrating into such a miserable role, perhaps death is rather a type of extrication. Lin Wei powerlessly closed his eyes.

After that, a very strange striking noise resounded. The reason why it was strange was because Lin Wei was very certain that this wasn’t the sound of the opposite party’s palm striking him.

Huh? What’s going on?

Lin Wei waited several seconds, but that palm still didn’t press down.

“As a Bronze Beastly Guard, bullying a child is very shameful.” An aged voice conveyed.

Lin Wei slowly opened his eyes, only to see a slender and robust tree trunk branch extending from an ancient tree and blocking the Vigorous Vajra Ape’s palm from going downwards. No matter how the Vajra Ape sent out its strength, it couldn’t move a single bit! Lin Wei’s heart began to beat quickly and a premonition emerged from his heart. He gulped and his sight focused on the branch.

Hundred-Year Treant, Attribute: Wood, Rank: Bronze, Status: Intermediate Level Beastly Guard.

The one that kept off this fatal blow for him was a tree, a Bronze rank ‘Hundred-Year Treant’ with the status of Intermediate Level Beastly Guard. Its rank and status was very high, but unexpectedly, it absolutely didn’t have the kind of pressure that the Vigorous Vajra Ape had. On the contrary, there was the feeling of a kind of cleansing spring breeze around it. Lin Wei turned his head, trying hard to clearly look at the Treant’s appearance, but could only see the enormous girth of the Treant’s tree trunk, and above that was the omnipresent lush treetop. Furthermore, there wasn’t that human-shaped face as imagined.

The Vigorous Vajra Ape was apparently quite afraid of the Hundred-Year Treant as it resentfully scratched its head; “I’m just, joking with him, haha……”

After it finished speaking, the Vigorous Vajra Ape withdrew his palm and turned around to leave.

“This place is very dangerous, little fellow.” The treant said: “Don’t provoke those rough fellows again.”

Compared to the previous Iron-skin Rhinoceros and Vajra Ape, this Hundred-Year Treant pronunciation and expression level simply incomparable.

Little fellow? The Iron-skin Rhinoceros from before had said that it and I differed, but this Hundred-Year Treant regards me as a little fellow? Lin Wei blinked and at this moment, he recalled a very important issue——

What species am I right now? Furthermore, what rank and status?

Lin Wei concentrated his own body and the line of information appeared.

Lin Wei, Attribute: None, Rank: Lower than average, Status: Lower than Beastly Servant

……

Three minutes later, Lin Wei spit out a mouthful of blood. The sky and clouds seemed to already have lost its colors in his eyes and he couldn’t hear the sounds of insects and bird calls all around him. I unexpectedly can’t even compare to a Long-eared Earth Rat. I would have better been off dying a moment ago……this was Lin Wei’s sole thought at this moment.

“What use is acknowledging? Even if he didn’t know me, these young masters of influential clans would make up some pompous reason to defend their face. Even if I wasn’t there, he and Tang Tang were impossible.” Xiao Chen shrugged.

“Young masters of influential clans? I say Young Master Xiao, listening to your tone, it seems like you don’t belong to this category?” Cheng Mengying suddenly felt that it was laughable.

“Me? I don’t have that kind of face.” Xiao Chen bitterly smiled: “Don’t speak about these, eat.”

When Cheng Mengying saw Xiao Chen not speak too much, she was still under the impression that she was poking Xiao Chen’s weak spot and thus, didn’t speak any further. How could she know that Xiao Chen didn’t care about it from the start?

Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei were truly hungry, but when Cheng Mengying ate, she quite had the very refined manner of a girl from a wealthy family. Even if she was hungrier, she wouldn’t gorge herself and still use her very graceful small mouth to eat things.

As for Jin Beibei, she didn’t have a speck of consciousness from being an aristocratic family daughter. She directly reached out with her hand to grab a large shrimp and put it into her mouth, speaking incoherently while eating: “Oh, oh……cousin Mengying, this is delicious!”

Xiao Chen’s eating style was about the same as Jin Beibei’s. Xiao Chen originally thought that Tang Tang’s way of eating was bold and unconstrained enough, but he didn’t expect that Jin Beibei would be even ‘better’! Although Tang Tang wasn’t mannered or refined, she didn’t directly grab it and eat it with oil dripped down her mouth. But Jin Beibei, she ate with and sucked on her fingers……

“It’s truly better not to be said, but Beibei, you marrying him is really appropriate. The two of you are like reincarnated starved devils.” Cheng Mengying watched the two people’s table manners, not knowing what would be good to say.

“Eating like this makes it delicious!” Jin Beibei was without the slightest bit of concern and grabbed a lobster to eat. However, the lobster shell was too hard; when Jin Beibei bit down, she couldn’t break it open. Thus, she directly handed it over to Xiao Chen: “Brother-in-law, help me break it open.”

Xiao Chen took the lobster and used his hands to peel open the shell, then handed over the inside meat to Jin Beibei. Jin Beibei actually opened her mouth and extended her head over, clearly wanting Xiao Chen to feed her.

Xiao Chen didn’t think too much about it and put the lobster meat into Jin Beibei’s mouth. On the side, Cheng Mengying wasn’t able to keep watching. She coughed twice and said: “I say Beibei, don’t you know plumpness can cause asthma? You must really want to marry Xiao Chen, showing affection in front of me.”

“Ah……eh, brother-in-law isn’t a stranger. Whatever said will come, isn’t calling sister-in-law half of brother-in-law’s duty?” Jin Beibei continued to indifferently open her mouth, waiting for Xiao Chen to feed her lobster meat: “Ah——”

“Pff……” Cheng Mengying was dumbfounded. She angrily said: “He isn’t your brother-in-law! Moreover, what duty? Beibei, how is your thinking so complex?”

“Oh, then he is cousin Mengying’s servant. He can still help me peel the lobster.” Jin Beibei said in a natural and justified manner.

Cheng Mengying didn’t feel like paying attention to Jin Beibei. Of course, Cheng Mengying also didn’t believe that Jin Beibei took a fancy to Xiao Chen. Even though she usually acted with an erratic behavior, she actually had a high vision. The young men in aristocratic families, Jin Beibei didn’t even glance at them.

Previously, Jin Beibei would often speak malicious words towards Xiao Chen with Cheng Mengying.

Xiao Chen had run into a once-in-a-millennium big spender and requested a lot of dishes. Even if there were several people, they could all gorge themselves and still have a big pile of leftovers. It was just that one couldn’t eat seafood from the previous day, but there were still a lot of other dishes.

Cheng Mengying finally couldn’t eat anymore. After she finished eating dinner, she lied down on the sofa and watched television. As for Xiao Chen, he was still tidying up crab shells, lobster shells and so on. Jin Beibei actually didn’t go rest, but rather helped Xiao Chen tidy up the unfinished food.

“Cousin Mengying, if you don’t exercise after eating, you’ll put on weight oh!” Jin Beibei warned.

“It seems like the meat all goes to your chest? I dislike inconveniences when I go out!” Cheng Mengying wasn’t convinced. She knew her own figure; she wouldn’t become fat with whatever she ate. She was always very well-proportioned, but chest was her weak spot. Therefore, she was naturally discontented with Jin Beibei’s after-meal exercise.

Jin Beibei didn’t go comfort Cheng Mengying. Instead, she minded her own business and put everything into the lunchboxes one by one. Then, she put into the refrigerator and went to watch television with Cheng Mengying.

However, Xiao Chen took those shrimp peels, crab shells, bones and others and threw them all together into the trash. Then, he went to the backyard of the villa and threw it to the stray dog. The stray dog actually wasn’t picky and ate with extreme joy.

When Xiao Chen returned to the villa, he saw Ye Xiaoye coming down the stairs and go to the refrigerator to take something. However, when she smelled the dense food smell inside the refrigerator, she couldn’t help but immediately wrinkle her brows!

“Why did you guys put leftovers in the refrigerator?” Ye Xiaoye was a bit anxious as she turned her head to cast an angry look towards Cheng Mengying.

“Isn’t the refrigerator suppose to hold leftovers?” Before Cheng Mengying even open her mouth to speak, Jin Beibei opened her mouth.

“You……” Ye Xiaoye wanted to retort, but actually didn’t have any way to retort. Right, which family wouldn’t put the leftovers into the refrigerator? She could only say: “My things shouldn’t be put together with the leftovers or else it will be contaminated.”

“Then take it out and it’ll be fine.” Jin Beibei said in a natural and justified manner.

“Take it out?” Ye Xiaoye was heavily angered by Jin Beibei’s words and subconsciously asked: “How come you won’t take it out?”

“I don’t fear contamination, why would I take it out? Whoever fears contamination should take it out.” Jin Beibei said with an innocent look.

“You……” Ye Xiaoye was played by Jin Beibei into losing her temper. It was precisely because of Jin Beibei’s words, which were reasonable and fair, that made her unable to nitpick the logic! Ye Xiaoye finally tasted Cheng Mengying’s suffering. This little girl before her eyes clearly didn’t resemble the easy-to-handle Cheng Mengying. Although Cheng Mengying had the temperament of a young lady, she wasn’t very scheming. However, Jin Beibei’s mischievousness made her seem like a small demoness.

Understanding that arguing with Jin Beibei wouldn’t produce a result, Ye Xiaoye simply turned around and walked out of the villa.

Regarding Ye Xiaoye walking out so late, Xiao Chen had some doubts, but it wasn’t good to inquire. Although Ye Xiaoye had lent him an electric earthenware pot, he was part of Cheng Mengying’s group in any case, and had no way to help Ye Xiaoye.

“Great! Beibei, Ye Xiaoye’s fire was extinguished by you all at once!” Cheng Mengying finally let out her resentment. For the past few days she had been here, she had been oppressed by Ye Xiaoye but in the end, she retaliated.

Jin Beibei was actually laughing happily without saying a word. She could see that Ye Xiaoye belonged to the ‘not particularly good at dealing with people’ disposition. Luckily, she happened to catch up today. Otherwise, it would usually be very difficult to embarrass Ye Xiaoye.

After a while, Ye Xiaoye came back with a roll of plastic wrap held in her hand. Afterwards, she went and opened the refrigerator. Then, she grabbed the case with Bitter Relief Fruit and wrapped it around 3 times clockwise and 3 times counterclockwise before sealing it tightly and finally putting it back inside the refrigerator.

Evidently, regarding this public-use refrigerator which she didn’t have independent rights to, she could only think up a solution.

But after Ye Xiaoye completed these tasks, she didn’t show any resentment and immediately went upstairs. Originally, Cheng Mengying wanted to see Ye Xiaoye’s anxious face, but didn’t see it. There was nothing but to say that Ye Xiaoye really was a strange person.

In a place very far away from the small alley from before, there was a recreational vehicle parked. Inside the recreational vehicle was that previous gloomy young man’s face looking at a body, the Sha Dage that had returned wounded!

“Did you succeed?” The young man looked at Sha Dage who returned wounded, having a kind of unlucky premonition in his heart.

Xiao Chen was only an ordinary person, yet Sha Dage unexpectedly receiving an injury. This obviously wasn’t a good matter!

“Young master, sorry, I failed to live up to your trust……” Sha Dage guiltily said.

“Xiao Chen didn’t die? How can that be?” The young man’s complexion slightly changed. As expected, things had gone wrong! But he was a calm person, so he didn’t flip out on the spot.

“It’s like this young master, before when I came across Xiao Chen, I was deceived by him……” After he finished speaking, Sha Dage spoke about how Xiao Chen disguised himself as ‘Xiao Chen’s little brother’ to the young man.

“And you believed all of this? Your name ‘Sha Dage’ really lives up to its meaning!” When the young man heard Sha Dage’s words, he became heavily angered. However, he also knew Sha Dage’s nature, so he didn’t have any solutions.

“Young master, sorry……” Sha Dage said with fear and trepidation.

“Forget it, continue speaking. Since you knew that you were cheated, then why didn’t you begin?” The young man waved his hand, indicating to Sha Dage for him to continue speaking.

“After this, just as I was questioning Xiao Chen where his elder brother went, a group of hooligans suddenly appeared. Of course, these hooligans weren’t experts; they couldn’t even be considered First Layer Inner Strength Martialists! Thus, I just wanted to smack them down, then question Xiao Chen!” Sha Dage continued on: “But the result of me disposing of these hooligans caused some person named ‘Brother Lou’ to suddenly rush out. It seemed like he was Xiao Chen’s classmate. When he appeared, Xiao Chen seemed to greatly relax. I feel that this person should be Xiao Chen’s partner and that the beforehand Xiao Chen, who always kept me waiting, should have been waiting for this person to come support him! However, he regarded those hooligans and I as a group. After hitting those hooligans, he began to fight me.”

“Brother Lou? Lou Zhenming?” A name immediately popped up in the young man’s mind, causing him to suddenly become very angry. He smashed the teacup onto the small table in front of him: “Lou Zhenming, f̲u̲c̲k̲ you! This matter doesn’t even have a single bit to do with you, why do you always destroy my work?”

The previously calm young man couldn’t help but flip out, but it wasn’t surprising. Last time when he sent out Martialists to deal with Xiao Chen, they were intercepted by Lou Zhenming’s Lou Family helpers and killed. This time, Lou Zhenming jumped out!

“This……I don’t know if he’s called Lou Zhenming, Xiao Chen called him ‘Brother Lou’……” Sha Dage carefully said.

“Continue speaking the important points, what happened after Lou Zhenming came out?” Actually, the young man didn’t need to question it. He had already guessed in his heart that it was most likely Lou Zhenming sticking his foot in and messing it up.

“Yes, that ‘Brother Lou’……after Lou Zhenming came out, he wanted to teach me a lesson, but he wasn’t my match. It was just that, a formidable subordinate suddenly jumped out and made a move. His subordinate was also a Fourth Layer Inner Strength Martialist, about the same strength as me, so we were both wounded as a result……” Sha Dage replied.

Chapter 138

Communication

Hostiles have communicated in native language. Match probability to hostiles lowers to 57.912%. As ordered by the Sh’lteek protocol, any attempts at communication, even from hostile forces, are to be accepted. Halting all hostile actions. Computing best response…

…………………………………………………

Everyone just floated in the air. The tension was palpable. At least, it was for the humans. The mechs were almost certainly immune to it. As everyone waited anxiously, one of the mechs floated forward.

“State your purpose.” The voice was obviously robotic with a metallic tinge to it. The Nugitraaiilian language was made up of hissing and screeching sounds making it incredibly grating to the human ear. Both Chu Shen and the twins cringed at the sound of the voice. Lucas, however, seemed used to it. Most likely because he grew up around aliens, so he was used to such strange voices.

Lucas decided he needed to answer them. “We came here to explore. We did not know this place was inhabited.”

“This place is not inhabited by intelligent life.” Came the robotic voice. Lucas blinked. What did it mean by not inhabited? If it wasn’t, then why would the robots be here?

“Why did you attack us?” Lucas decided to cut to the chase.

“Your match probability to the invaders from 12.3 cycles ago reached over fifty percent. According to the Sh’lteek protocol, I was ordered to regard you as hostiles.”

The voice said 12.3 cycles but Lucas’ translation program immediately translated that into human years. 412 years. That was the number Lucas received. Of course, such a number was meaningless, since the timeflow from dimension to dimension could vary.

The voice continued talking while Lucas was trying to process this. “Why did you send a Tachyon transmission? How did you arrive here? How do you know our language? Answer these queries or face immediate termination.”

Lucas turned to Chu Shen and switched his voice modulator. “Uh buddy. I just got asked some questions I’m gonna need your help on.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Go ahead. I can’t understand a word you guys are saying anyways.”

Lucas immediately explained the questions to him. Afterwards he looked at Chu Shen with an expectant face. “So? What do we do?”

Chu Shen sighed. “Tell them this. ‘We arrived here from a different dimension. The Tachyonic transmission was to determine if this was the same dimension as the one we originated from. The language was learned from a species identical to this one located in our original universe.’ Honestly, I don’t like revealing all this, but I can’t come up with a convincing lie that won’t get us killed on a moment’s notice.”

Lucas nodded understandingly. “I get it Chu Shen. No one thinks you could do better.”

Of course, there was someone that disagreed. ‘I think you could, brat.’

‘Shut up Master Ti Wu. You’re ruining a touching moment here.’

‘Did you just tell me to shut up?! You brat!’ While Master Ti Wu scolded Chu Shen, Lucas conveyed the message to the mech in its language.

There was a delay as the robot seemed to process the new information. After half-a-minute, the mech finally answered. “How can this information be verified?”

Lucas smiled. “Quite easily. All I need to do is transmit to you the data from my memory banks. You may have noticed since you destroyed one of my bodies earlier, but I am not an organic. I am a cyborg, part organic and part machine. I have a positronic brain modeled after my organic brain, implanted after an accident caused severe damage to my body.”

“Transmit the data immediately.”

“How?”

“If you transmit it on Radio Frequency 52.92, Assault Mech 009 will be able to pick up the signal.”

“Transmitting now.” Lucas started transferring a video feed of what he had seen since they had arrived at this new dimension, while also providing translating software. It took only one minute to transfer the data and another three minutes for the voice to process it.

Finally, the voice spoke. “Your claims have been verified. You are now classified as non-hostile aliens. You will no longer be attacked by any of the Mechanized Armor Units or by any Orbital Installations. Due to your new classification, I am required to inform you that the alien invaders from 12.3 cycles ago have now appeared inside the planetary system. Due to this conflict, this planet will no longer be safe. Use this information wisely, because the Defense System will not assign priority to your protection. If this unit survives the war, I may have further questions for you about this identical species.”

Lucas nodded his thanks. “Thank you for your concern. I will discuss our options with my companions before making any decisions. I don’t believe we will be here for the war but if we are then we will answer any questions you may have.”

He turned to Chu Shen. “Well, it appears we are in the clear. The A.I., or whatever that thing is, has agreed to let us stay here in peace. There’s a catch though. Apparently those invaders are back.”

Aslo spoke up. “You said that they appeared over four hundred years ago. Why would they appear now?”

Lucas shrugged. “No idea. They must want this planet for something, though. Four hundred years is enough for most radiation to dissipate.”Aslo was, of course, confused by this answer. However, he did remember one thing though. “Does this mean those invaders are coming to wipe out the Nugitraaiil again?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. I asked the mech and it said this planet was uninhabited. Those invaders already finished the job. Honestly, I don’t see why we don’t just go back to your dimension. There’s a war about to start and we don’t have a piece in either side.”

Aslo shook his head. “No. This planet is the burial place of all those people. I wouldn’t have wanted the Asura Sect to use the Rising Tide Sect’s old buildings. That is exactly what those invaders want to do here. I want to stay and help them fight.”

Chrissa spoke up softly. “I want to as well.”

Lucas threw up his hands. “Great. Just great!” He turned towards Chu Shen. “Tell them we need to leave. We could quite easily lose our lives here. I’d prefer it if we just left right now.”

Aslo also turned to Chu Shen. “Savior, I know that this request is unreasonable. I just want to defend the memory of all these people. I feel a connection with them. You don’t need to stay, just allow me and Chrissa to.”

Chu Shen lowered his head and began to think.

Chapter 137

Fight!

The turrets fired at them, filling the air with bolts of red energy. They were similar to the energy bolts the drone scouts had used, but they seemed to be far more powerful when compared to them. Chu Shen hurriedly created several shields to protect his friends. Using <Stars Dance: Light Step>, Chu Shen ran up to the mech.

He ran like he was running on steps, going up towards the mech’s face. Several hundred energy bolts came at him and his friends in just ten seconds. Most of them were absorbed by his shields, giving his friends time to react before they broke.

Lucas immediately flew up into the air, using fire from his legs. Aslo and Chrissa were able to avoid everything using their proficiency as an Early Stage Martial Emperor.

Chu Shen quickly reached the mech. Swinging his hammer, he smashed it into the shoulder of the robot. A white barrier, just like the one the other robot had before, appeared. It was no match for Chu Shen’s strength.

With a loud BANG, the robot spun around from the impact of the blow. Bolts of energy flew everywhere as the robot swung around. The robot fell down onto the ground. It immediately started grasping around, attempting to pull itself back up.

They weren’t going to let it do that, though. Lucas deployed his sniper drones. They immediately started firing at the joints of its right leg. Wind surged towards the robot, keeping it pinned down on the floor. Flames billowed over the entire mech, causing its exterior to become cherry red.

While this was going on, Chu Shen got busy. Protected by his Qi, he was able to stand directly on the robot’s back while not worrying if he would be caught in the crossfire. Using his hammer, he repeatedly bashed the back of the mech’s head. This continued for half a minute.

Then, a large beam of red energy struck Chu Shen in the back. Chu Shen was flung into the robot, his body shield breaking when he did. Chu Shen screamed and glanced down at his right leg. A five inch hole was bored completely through it. Lucas, who had shot both of the mech’s legs off and was starting on the left arm, immediately became alarmed.

Looking up, he saw three more robots exactly like the one that was fighting them. “Crap. Chrissa! Grab Chu Shen! We need to get out of here!” Chrissa nodded and started chanting. Chu Shen floated upwards on a draft of wind shaped like a brick. He was flown straight to Chrissa. She grabbed him and immediately started running.

Lucas and Aslo sent multiple barrages of fireballs up at the mechs. Lucas pulled out his Beast Cannon and fired the lava projectiles straight at them. The guns mounted on their shoulders fired large red beams just like the one that had hit Chu Shen.

Four of them lanced towards Lucas, cutting off both his legs. One was directed at Aslo who barely managed to dodge it by throwing himself on the ground. There was one more gun that hadn’t fired but supposedly it was cooling down from firing at Chu Shen.

The four arms on one of the robots split open. A glob of blue plasma shot forward towards Lucas. Lucas gritted his teeth before firing a lava projectile straight at it. The both met mid-air and exploded. The plasma vaporized the rocky outside before colliding with the molten inner core. The lava and plasma met in a violent collision before exploding.

The Beast Cannon couldn’t continue firing at full power for long, though. Three more plasma balls shot towards Lucas. Lucas was able to stop two, but the third one made it through. The lava projectiles just didn’t have enough power. Right before the plasma ball hit him, Lucas teleported the Beast Cannon into his pocket dimension. His body outside was vaporized.

“LUCAS! NOOO!” Aslo immediately freaked out. He started chanting a Rank 8 Spell, Apocalyptic Shower. Before he finished it though, Lucas suddenly appeared. “Lucas?” Aslo asked incredulously. “I thought you were dead!”

Lucas shrugged his shoulders. “Well, I may be just slightly immortal. Anyways, we need to leave before you get killed.” Lucas had teleported one of his spare bodies outside, of course.

A turret appeared next to Lucas. It had an X shaped bottom and a blast shield wrapped around the barrel. Lucas activated it and identified the three robots as enemies. The robot they had first attacked wasn’t able to get off the ground so far, so Lucas designated it as a low threat enemy.

The turret swiveled towards the closest mech and unleashed multiple small globs of plasma. Lucas took off running, his jetpack appearing around his back. Flying upwards, he grabbed Aslo around his shoulders and got out of there.

Up ahead, Lucas could see Chrissa flying as well. A miniature hurricane had formed below her legs, propelling her through the air. Aslo had flames appear below his legs, allowing him to break Lucas’ grip and fly as well.

“Oh great. No one needs a friendly jetpack anymore, do they.” Lucas grumbled. He turned around and glanced back at the turret. As he did, he witnessed the turret disappearing in a flare of red light. The three mechs flew through the air after them. A fourth one also appeared, though it was missing its lower body.

Miniature missiles shot out of the mech’s arms after them. Lucas sighed. “This day is getting better and better.” His sniper drones started to pick them off, one by one. There were over fifty missiles that had been launched at them. The missiles started doing tricks to avoid his shots. They were doing barrel rolls, zig-zags, and every other aerial trick in the book to dodge his fire.

It was pointless, however. The missiles were all destroyed before reaching Lucas, though the last one was way too close for comfort. The mechs, however, were closing fast. They were a lot faster then the last ones that had come after them, and were far more heavily armed. The lasers and energy bolts attenuated too much in the atmosphere to fire at them from a distance, so they were safe for a little while. They were half a mile apart whenever the lasers started back up once again.

Lucas gritted his teeth. It looked as though he was going to have to teleport them into his pocket dimension. Most likely they were going to have to go back to Aslo and Chrissa’s realm once again.

Suddenly he heard Chu Shen say something. “Hey Lucas, do you think it’s possible to talk to the mechs?”

Lucas blinked. “What?”

“Well, I mean, isn’t this supposed to be a Nugitraaiil planet? So maybe these machines are leftovers from that war we saw. Maybe by talking to them in the Nugitraaiilian language we can get them to stop.”

Lucas nodded. “Let me try it then.”

He uploaded the Nugitraaiilian language to his voice modulators before turning around. “Halt. We do not wish to fight.”

The mechs that had been chasing them suddenly stopped. Lucas stopped as well. Did it work?

Chapter 136

Scouts

Lucas couldn’t accept coincidence. No matter how hard he tried. “There is no way that we just happened to appear on a planet with humans on it. Or that there was an alien species that has just so happened to appear on two of the realms we have visited. Though it’s more like finding the remains of an alien species than actually finding one at all in this case.”

Chu Shen shrugged. “The multiverse is a strange thing. That’s all I can say.”

“You can’t just dismiss one of the greatest mysteries we’ve encountered by saying, ‘that’s the way it works.’ We have to try and analy-”

Right as Lucas was just starting to rant, the door behind them exploded. Shards of metal flew through the air towards the group. Body shields appeared over the twins and Chu Shen. Lucas covered his head to keep his eyes from being scratched out. Turning towards the explosion, Chu Shen groaned.

There, in the doorway, was a small, adult-size robot. It was gray with pistons visible. A blue shield could be seen shimmering just above the surface of the robot. Its right arm was a barrel, glowing slightly red. Its left arm was blade shaped and was making a humming sound. As Chu Shen was observing this robot, a red bolt of energy shot towards him. Chu Shen activated his <Cancellation Armor>.

The red bolt of energy hit Chu Shen and exploded, sending him flying back into the walls. He hit the wall, causing cracks to spread from where he hit it. At the same time, his armor faded slightly.

Lucas reacted immediately and fired a fireball from his hand. “Fireball Barrage! Go!” Aslo also sent over twenty fireballs using the Rank 3 Spell Fireball Barrage. “Wind Scythe! Go!” Chrissa sent a razor-sharp blade of wind directly at the robot.

Even though the wind blade was launched last, it reached the robot first. The wind scythe hit the robot, piercing its blue shield. A gouge appeared on the chest of the robot from where the wind blade struck. Lucas’ fireball landed next. It hit the robot and exploded, sending it flying backwards. The internals of the robot, which had been exposed by the wind blade, were now damaged slightly by the fireball.

Now it was Aslo’s turn. His fireballs were half the size of Lucas’ and the fire wasn’t as intense. However, what it lacked in individual power, it made up in numbers. The first fireball slammed into the robot, causing it to fly backwards at even greater speed straight into a wall. Nineteen more fireballs slammed into the robot, keeping it pinned against the wall.

After the last fireball slammed into the robot, everything was still. Chu Shen picked himself up from where he had landed after being slammed into the wall. The robot stood there, its arms hanging limp by its sides. Its head suddenly came up, staring right at Lucas. Its right arm came up, sending ten bolts of energy in less than a second.

The <Universe Shield> appeared in front of Lucas, blocking the attacks. The shield cracked as the bolts of energy exploded, but it didn’t break. Chu Shen disappeared before reappearing next to the robot. A hammer had appeared in his hand at some point in time. The wind whistled as Chu Shen swung the hammer brutally at the robot’s midsection.

Chu Shen. A martial artist with a void constitution. He didn’t have great attacking techniques. His defense techniques relied mostly on his unique Qi. His speed was superb. However, his one greatest talent was this. Bodily strength.

The hammer smashed into the robot, severing it in half. The hammer passed through the robot as though it was nothing, smashing into the wall behind it. The hammer put a hole through the wall, completely demolishing a good portion of it. Taking a step back, Chu Shen yanked his hammer back.

Aslo clapped. “Now I know how you became the savior.”

Lucas hit him over the head. “Knock it off with the savior thing. We’re all partners now.” He turned towards Chu Shen.

“So those mechs weren’t the only robots here. I think that was a drone scout. They were made by the Nugitraaiil to scout out buildings for the giant mechs they preferred to use so that they could confirm if there was hostiles inside. If there’s one here, that means there’s mechs that are still waiting for us.”

Chu Shen scratched his head. “How exactly do you know all this?”

Lucas shrugged. “I haven’t been just wasting my time you know. I’ve been busy gathering data from the servers as we passed by. Luckily this building was made to protect itself from orbital bombardments. Most of the data is corrupted, but some of it can be salvaged. Their ground assault methods were inside.”

Lucas peered at the robot. “Though, these things didn’t have a shield in the specs I saw. Also, the energy cannon seems to be a lot more powerful than in the blueprints. It might be a prototype that was stored here and was activated once we entered the compound.”

Chu Shen nodded. “That is a possibility. However, it would be better if we acted as though there is a mech outside. If the mech starts attacking in here then we’ll be at a disadvantage. It’s too cramped. We need to get outside.”

Lucas nodded as well. “Alright then. Let’s go. We can get back to the entrance and leave that way.”

They all followed Lucas, since he remembered how to leave. They encountered two more drone scouts on the way. Chu Shen, who was towards the front, would hit them one time with his hammer. All that would be left behind of the drone scouts were mangled parts.

After ten minutes, they had finally reached the entrance. They all took up their positions. Aslo and Chrissa chanted spells underneath their breath, preparing the mana but not casting it. On the count of three, all of them rushed out into the deserted streets.

Everything was quiet. Nothing moved, no one spoke. All of them exchanged glances before splitting up. Looking around, it truly seemed as though no mechs were around.

Aslo let out a sigh of relief. “Looks like we’re good!”

Right after Aslo said that, there was a wumph sound. Immediately after that, there was a loud bang from behind them. Turning around, there was a large mech standing between them and the command center.

It was just as tall as the previous mechs they had faced. However, this one was completely black. Small turrets with barrels poking out could be seen dotting its body. All of the turrets swiveled, locking onto all four of them. It had four arms with two large guns attached to its shoulders.

Lucas facepalmed. “Why’d you have to say that, Aslo?”

Chapter 135

Destruction

Hostiles have accessed files of Planetary Defense Command Center. Such actions are determined to be extremely hostile with a 83.333% similarity to the actions of an invader’s scout. Match probability rises to 79.674%. Threat level is now irrelevant. Assigning Assault Unit #12 to erase hostiles. Preparing Assault Unit #12. Time until dispatch is 1 minute, 57 seconds, 32 microseconds.

……………………………

Chu Shen nodded. “A solar flare, of course! That would explain the interference the holo-display showed around it. The intense electromagnetic energy would have disrupted any long-range scanners.”

Aslo was confused on the other hand. “Uh, what is a solar flare exactly?”

Lucas, who was busy studying some records he had found, answered unconsciously. “It’s when a sun sends massive surges of radiation outwards, but this solar flare is way outside normal specs. As a matter of fact, I would say it might even be engineered. We have devices that can disrupt a sun’s magnetic field, creating a solar flare in the area we want.”

The hologram changed suddenly. There were now slightly more blue ships, but there was a hole in their formation that was blocking an army of red ships. Lucas pointed at the hologram, explaining some of his concerns to Chu Shen while Aslo and Chrissa looked on in confusion.

“If you look at this right here, you can see where those alien invaders managed to get ten ships past the blockade. They sent half of them towards this planet, which were destroyed before even coming close, and the others were sent towards the sun. They flew right into the sun, essentially committing suicide. I believe they managed to deliver a weapon that caused the solar flare. This was two days before the solar flare actually happened.”

He closed his eyes for a second before sighing. “I calculated the trajectory of the planet relative to the solar flare. It should have been a direct hit. The ionosphere of the planet wouldn’t have been able to handle such immense amounts of radiation. The radiation would have been able to leak through to the planet’s surface, killing every single living thing on the planet.

“It does appear as though the Nugitraaiil did anticipate something like this happening. They had isolated bunkers set up for every major city, which is probably why we didn’t see any dead bodies in the street. They would have been able to withstand direct hits from nuclear bombs, and they had forcefields set up. Unfortunately, the solar flare would have caused radiation far beyond the bunkers’ ability to withstand. They would have died soon after the solar flare hit, a day at the most.

“I don’t know how long ago the solar flare happened, but it should have been at least five hundred years ago. Otherwise, the radiation wouldn’t have diminished this much.”

Aslo and Chrissa were both completely lost at this moment. Radiation, bunkers, nuclear bombs… All of this was far beyond their understanding. “Sooo. Does this mean everyone is dead?” Aslo finally asked.

Chu Shen nodded. “Yes it does.”

Chrissa gasped before covering her mouth. She turned away, a small tear trickling down her cheek. Aslo shook his head silently, his face grim. They had just managed to gain revenge for their sect, which had almost been wiped out. The Nugitraaiil had truly been wiped out, down to the last man. No wonder the twins empathized with these aliens so deeply.

Chu Shen sighed at the twins’ emotional outburst before continuing to converse with Lucas about the specifics of the records. “So do we have any records about after the solar flare?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. Well actually, that isn’t accurate. There is a report here about the forcefield that kept the Tactical Room isolated from the outside, which is the only reason why there are still computer records. If there hadn’t been a forcefield, then the electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, would have wiped the systems data and we wouldn’t have found anything.

“The initial electromagnetic force disrupted the power supply for the forcefield. It was able to use batteries to keep it up for another day before running out of energy. However, the Tactical Center lost contact with all facilities outside, effectively cutting them off. That’s what I meant when I say we don’t have any records after the solar flare. We know what happened inside this room but not what happened outside. The officers in the tactical room committed suicide by leaving the forcefield early, which is why there aren’t any dead bodies inside.”

Chu Shen and Lucas looked at each other. What would they do with this information?

………………………………………………

Assault Unit #12 was not dispatched. Error in teleportation system has arisen. Diagnostics running… Diagnostics complete. Quantum wave interference detected. Quantum wave interference often caused by hyperspace jump. Running tracer scan… Tracer scan complete. Quantum wave interference is coming from Gust’op, the seventh planet of the planetary system. Activating telescope array… Telescope array has discovered ships that resemble alien invaders from 12.3 cycles ago.

Sh’lteek protocol activated. Moving to wartime footing. Activating all fighter groups. Activating all Mechanized Armor groups. Activating Planetary Defense Platforms. Manufacturing and mining plants have been activated at 100% capacity.

Assault Unit #12 is ordered to activate normal drives. ETA to Planetary Defense Command Center is 3 minutes, 39 seconds, 1,200 microseconds.

………………………………….

Chu Shen, Lucas, Aslo, and Chrissa decided to go around the rest of the Planetary Defense Command Center looking for further information. As they walked next to each other, Lucas brought up some of his concerns to Chu Shen.

He had on a concerned expression as he talked to Chu Shen. “This just isn’t adding up. The Nugitraaiil are a species that live in my galaxy. They’ve always been very secretive about their past but we’ve had contact with them for three hundred years. Yet here, in an alternate dimension, we find traces of their existence. The same genetic make-up and the same language, all of which couldn’t be faked. This just brings up so many questions.”

Chu Shen shrugged. “Maybe they discovered a way to travel to different dimensions?”

Lucas shook his head. “No, it can’t be that. If they discovered something like that then they would need the ability to manipulate black holes. My dad, Xentus Viri, was just starting to experiment with them whenever we left.”

Chu Shen threw up his hands. “I don’t know then. I have no clue as to how they were able to appear in a completely different dimension. On the other hand, we’ve already been to two other dimensions where there are humans that speak the same language as me. Maybe it’s like that, and the Nugitraaiil just coincidentally appeared in both dimensions.”

……………………………….

Assault Unit 12 has located the hostiles. Hostiles are currently inside the Planetary Defense Command Center. Dispatching Drone Scouts #1, #2, and #3. Mission goal, termination of hostiles.

Chapter 134

Mystery

Lucas sighed. “Nope. No signal back. It seems as though I still have to travel with you.”

Chu Shen hit him in the side. “You’re not getting away from me that easy. We’re sticking together until we can both get home.”

Lucas gave him a sad grin. “Well, it sure does look that way.”

Chu Shen glanced around for something to distract Lucas with. He remembered that building from earlier and immediately zoomed in on it. “Hey Lucas, think we can go explore that command center with Aslo and Chrissa? They’ll get bored if they stay in there much longer.”

Lucas suddenly remembered Aslo and Chrissa were still inside his pocket dimension. “Oh yeah. I should probably let them out.”

Aslo and Chrissa suddenly appeared in front of them. As soon as Aslo appeared he jumped towards Lucas and hit him in the arm. “What is up with everybody hitting me today!” Lucas rubbed his arm and glared at everyone.

“Hey!” Aslo got right up in Lucas’ face. “Just because you’re one of the saviors doesn’t mean I can’t hit you. We came along to repay you, not to get transported around like some sword inside your Spatial Bag or whatever you have! Come on! How can we help you if we can’t even face some danger with you!”

Chu Shen sighed. “Aslo, while it’s true that you could have helped out, all you would have been able to do was flee with us. Unlike you though, Lucas can fly without massive energy drain. Because of that, he stayed behind, as did I, because I could help him block things from a distance.”

“But still, we could have-”

“Enough!” Chu Shen finally had enough. “We called you out because we thought you were bored, not to have an argument. Anyways, we were going to go inside that building over there to see if we could figure out why this town was abandoned.”

Aslo finally looked around him. “WHAT! That building…… It’s as tall as a mountain! So is that one! Sis! Look at all these huge buildings! Chu Shen, what kind of magical place is this?”

Chu Shen smiled. “It’s not magical Aslo. It’s the city.”

Chrissa approached Lucas and spoke shyly to him. “So, why would this building answer why the town was abandoned?”

“Well because it’s the command center for the planet’s military.” He explained casually.

She nodded before whispering. “So this town’s name is ‘planet’?”

“Hmm? Oh, no it’s not. The term planet is used for celestial bodies that orbit the sun. We are currently on a planet right now.”

Chrissa glanced at the ground and then pointed up at the sun.

Lucas facepalmed. “I’ll explain this later. Chu Shen! Are we going inside?”

Chu Shen nodded. “Yeah, let’s go in now.”

Soon after Chu Shen and the gang went towards the Planetary Defense Command Center. It took them multiple tries to enter. Chu Shen had to smash a hole through the door for them to gain access to the building. Upon entering the smell of death and decay was heavy.

Glancing around Chu Shen saw bodies strewn across the halls as though they had died mid-stride. Mildewed clothes and bones could be seen. Only small bits of flesh hadn’t decayed yet on the bodies. There was some things that were really puzzling though. There were scales littered around the bodies. The bones also didn’t match those of a human. The fingers were longer than a human’s and the mouth was filled with needle-like teeth.

Lucas ignored the dead bodies and went over to one of the walls. A compound map was there. “Follow me, the tactical room is this way.” Everyone followed Lucas, though Chrissa walked far away from any of the bodies. They walked through several rooms and hallways, all with a body or two at least, before arriving at a large room. Inside the room was a large mushroom shaped stand.

Lucas immediately discovered it was a holo-projector. Going over to it, Lucas pressed the button labeled power. Nothing happened. He flipped open a panel on his arm and a cable emerged from it. He cut open several cables leading to the holo-display before discovering the one that carried power to it. He spliced the power cable with the one from his arm before supplying it with power.

Suddenly the entire room was lit up with a blue 3D display. There was the image of a solar system with ten planets floating in front of them with the sun of the system above the holo-projector. There were ships surrounding the fifth planet from the sun. There was only four or five of them and they seemed to be headed away from the planet.

Out by the ninth planet was a massive cloud of spaceships. Some were bright blue and others a blood red color. The red ships far outnumbered the blue. There were also blue, human shaped icons scattered amongst them.

The most eye catching thing though was a large white ribbon that was right next to the fifth planet. The holographic image of it was pixelated and distorted, as though something had been interfering with the image.

Aslo and Chrissa both jumped upon seeing this hologram appear out of nowhere. “What is this Chu Shen?!” He asked pointing at it.

Chu Shen sighed. This was starting to get really tiring. It seemed as though they would have to receive a lesson in technology from him and Lucas ASAP. “This is a hologram. Essentially it creates an image.” He couldn’t say 3D since they had no idea what 3D represented.

Aslo nodded. “So like a soul projection then? It’s a Rank 4 Light Spell. So, are you a light mage then?”

Chu Shen shook his head. “No. There are machines that can replicate the effects of certain spells. There are a couple branches of creating magic tools and technology is one of them. The Technology Branch of magic tools creates machines that anyone at any level can use. This mushroom thing is a machine that can replicate the soul projection spell.”

“Wow! That’s pretty cool!” Aslo immediately focused on the mushroom object. While he did that, Chu Shen approached Lucas.

“Is there anyway to find out what this image means?” He asked Lucas.

Lucas nodded. “Right now I’m hacking the database for the holo-projector. According to the records I have access to now, they were invaded. About a year before the records ended unknown ships started attacking them. They didn’t have Hyperspace Engines so their FTL (Faster-Than-Light) capabilities were severely hampered, though they did have Tachyon comm systems. The enemy would warp in at the edge of their solar system in droves and attack them. No messages were ever exchanged and their ships were unmanned.”

Lucas suddenly gasped. His head immediately turned towards the fifth planet. He pointed at the mysterious ribbon. “I know what that is.”

“It’s a solar flare.”

Chapter 133

Abandoned

After the abrupt takeoff, Chu Shen adapted to Lucas’ flight. It wasn’t his first rodeo after all. As they flew towards the city, Lucas expressed some concerns. “Those mechs back there aren’t natural. It’s obvious they were made by somebody, along with the weapon that destroyed my satellite. I’m afraid whoever lives in this city may have more powerful weapons. That could be why the mechs retreated; since we’re going right to them, why should they continue after us?”

Chu Shen shrugged, a gesture Lucas could feel from his grip on Chu Shen. “I’m not sure, but I can say this. I would rather try to negotiate with the person controlling the weapon then to fight the weapon. Maybe we can strike a deal with them.”

Lucas rolled his eyes. “Like that’ll ever happen. It never works out like that in the movies.”

Chu Shen hit Lucas in the leg. “Good thing this isn’t a movie.”

Lucas waved his arm around a bit, causing Chu Shen to shake back and forth. “You wanna fall from here, huh? Cause from where I’m flying, it looks like you really want to.”

“STOP IT LUCAS!” Chu Shen smacked Lucas’ hand away, falling below him. Immediately Lucas panicked and dived after him.

“Crap crap CRAP! Chu Shen you crazy sonovagun!” Lucas was just about to catch up to Chu Shen when a round circle of energy appeared below Chu Shen’s feet. Chu Shen pushed off that circle of white light and shot upwards, passing Lucas.

Using his tremendous strength, Chu Shen traveled quite fast. Another circle of white energy appeared beneath his feet which he used to propel himself upwards and forwards. His speed actually matched Lucas’ cruising speed on the jetpack!

Lucas, stunned as he was from this surprise, immediately turned around. “CHU SHEN!!!” He yelled as he opened the throttle on his jetpack. Immediately he shot after Chu Shen. Right as he caught up, Chu Shen jumped upwards while doing a flip, causing his head to become oriented towards Lucas. Kicking off another circle of light, Chu Shen shot towards Lucas and grabbed his neck.

Lucas wobbled from the impact and additional weight before stabilizing his flight. “Chu Shen! Are you crazy?! You could’ve died!” He yelled at Chu Shen.

Chu Shen shrugged. “I just got tired of you always shaking me. Come on, doesn’t it get old? Normally I could put up with it, but this isn’t the time to goof off. We’re in a situation where we don’t know who we are facing or their strength. Get it together, we need to be serious.”

Lucas was stunned at this. “Why didn’t you just say that instead of making me drop you? Also, how did you stop falling?”

Chu Shen sighed. “With your joking temperament, you wouldn’t have taken me seriously unless I did something shocking. As for me stopping my falling, it was naturally due to <Stars Dance: Light Step>. Remember that with it I can make my Qi solid and create a stepping stone in mid-air.”

“I don’t ever remember you having that ability.”

“Really? I thought I told you. I learned it while training back at the second magic beast hunting zone.”

“Nope. You never told me about what you did while training.”

“Huh. I guess I’ll have to show you everything eventually.”

Lucas suddenly saw the city they had been flying towards. “Hey Chu Shen, I can see the city.”

Chu Shen immediately became excited. “Quick, tell me what kind of people are in the city, what kind of activity is there?”

“What do you mean tell you about the city? I can just see a black smudge over the horizon! It’ll take at least another ten minutes before I can see details.”

Chu Shen sighed. “All right then. Tell me when you can then.” After some impatient humming and tapping on Lucas’ head, Lucas could finally see the city. What he saw though confused him.

“That’s odd.”

Chu Shen hit him on head. “What’s odd?”

Lucas rubbed the back of his head. “Ouch. Not so hard next time. Anyways, remember those buildings we saw when we first came here?”

Chu Shen nodded. “Yeah. They were white and had scorch marks all over them.”

“Well these skyscrapers are the same. White with scorch marks. There are some holes in the buildings as well, and some look like they’ve started melting.”

“Hmm. That is odd. We’ll need to look at them more closely when we get there.”

Soon, Lucas and Chu Shen arrived at the bustling, unknown city. Well, it wasn’t a bustling city. It was a ghost town. Not a single animal or person could be seen. Melted vehicles of some sort littered the streets. The shells of the vehicles were twisted and warped, looking like boxes out of a Picasso painting.

Lucas and Chu Shen picked their way through the area, studying the wreckage that was strewn about the ghost town. “The Qi concentration is very intense here. It might be one of those realms that is very dense in Qi, like the ones Master Ti Wu told me about.” Chu Shen remarked.

Lucas shrugged. “I have no idea about that, but my Geiger Counter is going nuts. This much radiation is like being ten miles from a thermonuclear bomb. No regular human could survive this and my positronic brain is only safe because of the radiation shielding I put inside my body.”

Chu Shen saw a large, dome-shaped building with a large sign in front of him. The sign was made of unrecognized characters. The characters were harsh, angular lines and he only recognized it as a sign because of the placement. He pointed towards the sign. “Hey Lucas, can you read that sign?”Lucas turned back towards Chu Shen. Glancing back at where Chu Shen was pointing at, he cocked his head sideways. “Maybe, let me run my translation program real quick… Yep. It’s weird though. The characters are actually Nugitraaiilian.” Chu Shen looked at him blankly. “Remember those lizard aliens you faced in the RoboGames back on my planet?”

“Oh yeah. They were kind of annoying, going on about having to learn from the person that beat them because of their ‘honor’. Still, it’s really weird that their language popped up here of all places.”

Lucas became excited as a possibility. “Wait, could this mean I’m back in my universe?”

Chu Shen shrugged. “No idea. I doubt it, but I don’t control where we go, so who knows? Anyways, what did the sign say?”

“The sign said ‘Planetary Defense Command Center.’ Let me activate the Tachyon comm relay so that we can try and contact Sparta.”

Everyone was flabbergasted, could it be that the fallen god had returned? How could the sentence “Friends, please halt,” be more effective than the ancient one. It actually made a group of people come back.

“This poor Taoist don’t have evil intentions. I am inviting everyone to the Terra Empire’s Sky Palace because of my orders. We need the mental power of numerous practitioners to unseal the ancestor god’s palace.”

Fallen God!

Regardless of whether he was Saigonbao himself or his descendant Senxibao, everyone unanimously felt they couldn’t get along with him. Just looking at his feeble appearance, they were sure that nothing good would happen if they get acquainted with him.

Many people wanted to run away, but for some reason, they were unable to take one step away after he uttered “Friends, please halt.”

At first, Xiao Chen felt dizzy. However, the instant his secret art was executed, he became clear-headed again. He profoundly knew that this Daoist priest before him was very incredible! He’s absolutely not an average person.

However, even after Xiao Chen regained control of himself, he did not leave and continued to follow everyone.

The fallen god formed a seal with his hands and muttered to himself. After that, he suddenly shouted, “Earth Wyne!”

Everyone felt their body sway for an instant before they sunk into the ground. A yellow radiance flickered around their body as they were pushed forward with extreme speed. It was as if they were passing through a space-time tunnel.

The Earth Wyne technique was not a special divine ability, many Historia level practitioners could learn it. However, using it to take along a hundred plus people? Now that’s a little scary.

Only after advancing like this for a day did everyone finally return to the surface. At the moment, they were already within the borders of Terra Empire.

This was a vast prairie. As far as the eyes could see, it was verdant and lush. The earth was brimming with thriving vitality. At present, there were no less than ten thousand practitioners gathered on the grassland.

And in the sky, a palace was floating there, with multicolored lights and clouds lingering all over it.

It was precisely this Sky Palace that caused many practitioners to gather from all over the mainland these past three years. Dragonslayer, Demon Sealing Club, Sacrificial Altar, Immortal Tree; such ancient treasures were excavated one after the other. Dozens of these unusual treasures had already been taken away by powerful practitioners.

Since then, nobody was able to excavate anything else. Nobody was able to break into the centermost area of the ancient palace. Even the people on the ground were able to see it. Millions upon millions of starlight was condensed over there. It was brightly lit and resplendent.

The fallen god disappeared after bringing everyone here. There were numerous people on the prairie. The overwhelming majority of them couldn’t fly, they were only here to watch.

And in the sky, there were just as many humanoid figures. Not only was there human race, there were also many other different races.

A dozen or more Fallen Angels with black wings were present. Black clouds lingered on their body as they were flying quietly in one corner. They swept their eyes coldly over the Sky Palace above.

And on the other side, there were seven to eight huge monsters. They were actually ten meter long Winged Dragons. The scales all over their body were glittering. The brilliant radiance and oozing dragon-qi gave tremendous pressure to those in the surroundings.

A little in front of them, were three imposing primal beasts. Even if they were just standing on the ground, everyone felt a huge pressure on them. Not many people could recognize their identity, but those who recognized them were incomparably shocked.

There was a huge monster about a hundred feet long, shaped like a ravenous wolf. Its whole body was covered in black scales, with bloody mist lingering on it. Some aged practitioners recognized it. That was actually the legendary Yazi. Yazi, it would return favors to whoever it owed. Yazi, it would take revenge on whoever offended it. The victim would inevitably be killed. Because of that, its figure was frequently carved on weapons.

Beside it was a ninety meter long primal beast, shaped like a vigorous lion with smoke surrounding it. Its entire body was covered in thick scales. This primal beast had also been recognized by people. It was actually the legendary Suanni. Its figure was commonly carved on incense burners.

And beside them was a ten foot long primal beast with a dragon head, horse-like body, and scaled feet. It looked like a lion with thick, white scales all over. The majority were able to recognize this vicious beast. It was actually the legendary Pixiu, also named Tian Lu or Bixie. It was usually carved as a jade pendant and worn on the body to bring good luck.

Yazi, Suanni, and Pixiu were primal beasts of legends. Their origin was greater than anyone could imagine. They rarely showed up in the mundane world. There were even people who claimed they they were the child of the Ancestral Dragon, that they were the offsprings between the Ancestral Dragon and their races.

Since it was capable of making such powerful primal beasts show themselves, that was enough to prove that the rumor was true. It was extremely possible that this Sky Palace really belonged to the ancestor god Youchaoshi.

“I suspect the Yazi, Suanni, and Pixiu before us are actually the dragon children mentioned in the legend. They are most likely their descendant.”

“How would you know, stop speaking nonsense!”

As a huge pressure pressed down from the sky, everyone who was discussing it in whispers immediately shut their trap.

And further away, there were still some huge monsters flying over. They were wrapped in dark clouds as they flew over. It was hard to make out their appearance, the only thing they knew was that they were not humans.

It was very obvious that they had the ability to transform into human, but they didn’t do it. Those who dared to come here were definitely super powerful beasts. Some of them might even be a great demon from ancient times.

Divine light flickered as the bright flame illuminated the area. Xiao Chen saw an acquaintance. It was actually that multicolored phoenix. It was that phoenix girl he had encountered in the Southern Wasteland. And beside her was a cute little phoenix. He was following her while flying unsteadily. They did not approach at all and only stayed in the distance. Clearly, they did not come to fight over the treasure.

Xiao Chen guessed the most likely case was that the phoenix girl wanted the little phoenix to gain some knowledge.

Perhaps it was due to the phoenix feather, the phoenix girl sensed something and gazed in Xiao Chen’s direction with its beautiful pair of eyes. She lightly nodded her head and a voice resounded in Xiao Chen’s head at the same time, “I already know about the events that took place in Celestial City. They actually dared to disrespect my divine feather. I will give you a hand this once, some other day.”

After saying this, the phoenix girl brought the unsteady little phoenix to fly towards the side.

Although there were many different tribes, none of them got too close. It seemed like they did not want to fight over the treasures and risk their lives.

Those who got really close to the Sky Palace were only some humans, many of them being the Taoist and Buddhist monks. Naturally, most of them were laypersons. There were even some who looked like generals, riding on flying horses in the sky.

Only that, due to the distance and the sheer amount of people, it was hard to make out their visage.

“Oh my god! I just heard that the Undying Demon King of the Southern Wasteland also went up, that is indeed a ferocious character! He hadn’t shown himself in the mundane world for a millenia already.”

“You just knew? Even the indifferent Zhang Sanfeng himself has already been alerted and flown up there already.”

“Could that really be ancestor god Youchaoshi’s Sky Palace? Otherwise, how would so many important figures be alarmed to move? Just now, I had personally seen Buddha Dipankara fly up there. I’m absolutely sure, he looked exactly the same as the statue in the temples.”

Several tens of thousands of practitioners were discussing spiritedly below. This was definitely a rare opportunity. Many distinguished figures of legends had appeared in the flesh.

“Quick, look over there. Who is that Taoist that just flew over?”

“I don’t know. What is that thing in his hand? It’s shiny…”

“Could it be the legendary Talisman of Origin?”

Just when everyone was discussing, a practitioner carrying a square insignia flew over with a few people, as if he was the mediator of an immortal.

“My god, why do I feel like I have seen the insignia in that Daoist’s hand before? It looks like the fearful Eversus Insignia that appeared in the ancient battle field. It looks exactly as it was described in legend.”

As the red clouds glinted, another group of practitioners flew over there.

Three hours later, the sky was already filled to the brim.

Just at this time, dazzling radiance pierced through the sky as five streaks of divine radiance illuminated the horizon. It was directly pressing on towards the Sky Palace. Even the experts who were flying in the sky had no choice but to fall back and make a path for him.

“A super fierce character arrived at last, could it be Sen—”

“Hush! Are you tired of living? You even dared to mention this man’s name?!”

Xiao Chen knew, that definitely signified the arrival of Sengen. He had previously seen this awesome man in the underworld.

Just when the quintet-colored divine radiance settled in the sky, another seven streaks of light flew over from the distance. They illuminated the entire sky like a rainbow.

“Holy crap, could that be… the legendary… Selvagem Tree?”

“Are you really tired of living? Just shut your trap.”

“Hush! Say no more than this. The lord who dominates the Quintet Light and the master of Selvagem Tree are old enemies!”

As expected, Sengen let out a cold snort as he flew over while handling the Quintet Light. It immediately caused everyone to feel as if their heart was hit by a thunder clap.

When Xiao Chen saw the Selvagem Tree for the first time, he immediately thought of the Rainbow Sacred Tree in his very own body. They were similarly seven-colored, but their essences were fundamentally different.

The master was unknown, but if he had the treasured tree, that was sufficient to prove his identity as an illustrious figure. He was a true expert that could make all powerful warriors withdraw.

At last, nobody had anymore doubt that this Sky Palace was really the temple left behind by Youchaoshi. Otherwise it was impossible for these kind of law breaking figures to show up.

“We’ve gathered enough mental power, let’s begin!”

The drawn-out voice — nobody knew who it came from — spread out in the heavens and earth. The voice was so dignified and solemn.

Everyone felt as if their spiritual power was charging into the sky. It didn’t depend on the intensity of their spiritual power, but rather the amount of their desires. This was the crucial point of breaking the seal placed on ancestral god’s Sky Palace.

A pure and holy radiance charged into the Sky Palace like an inverted Milky Way.

The rumbling sound spreading across the horizon sounded as if a huge door was opening.

Just at this time, divine light flashed in the sky as the majority of the practitioners rushed into the Sky Palace simultaneously.

One man riding a flying horse, with no weapon in hand, but the baleful aura released by him pierced through the sky.

The dazzling Quintet Light that was reputed to be unstoppable rushed into the ancient palace in the first moments.

There was even a huge butterfly which elegantly appeared in front of the Sky Palace from a distorted space.

And that Selvagem Tree even crossed space, appearing directly in front of the hall, and unleashed seven glaring radiance.

And just at this very moment, from high above the sky, four huge swords fell towards the ground abruptly. The murderous aura filled the entire sky as four godslaying swords split through the air. The omnipotent power was as boundless as a huge ocean, it was grandiose and engulfed everything as they swept down!

「First, let me introduce myself. I’m Baroness Sheryl Silverlight, the lord of this land」

The blonde beautiful girl named Sheryl introduced herself and the lord as she kneeled on the floor.
Iris, who developed a little interest in her persona, landed on Punigami and urged her to continue.

「Lord? Is there a meaning in being a lord of the wilderness? 」

「No…..none at all……that’s why I worked as a maid in the royal palace」

「Hee……..Then did you take care of the king or someone like that? 」

「No. I was a maid of Her Highness the Princess, Duke House’s Maid Daughter」

「……I don’t really understand but it must have been hard on you」

After another observation, she did have exhausted features.
Her hardships could be felt from her whole body.
Somehow, she radiated an aura that makes people want to save her.

「Iris-sama……for you to care so much about something like me……what a gentle person! However, please rest assured. I didn’t have any trouble supporting myself. Just bullied a little……」

「Bullied…..li-like what…….? 」

「Let’s see…….Bringing something warm to eat only for her to change her mind and ask for something cold」

「Hiee…….」

「Or telling 『you don’t have any sense』when I was choosing clothes」

「Uhiyaa」

「Or that she didn’t like my face」

「Ugyaa! My chest hurts just by imagining it……..if someone tells me this……I will stay indoors and never go outside again…….scary……humans are scary………」

「No, no. You are exaggerating, Iris-sama. Something like this can be found anywhere. I just don’t need to mind it」

「Can be found anywhere!? It’s indeed scary! I won’t go outside! 」

Screamed Iris as she hid her head under the robe scattered on the floor, crouched, and trembled.

「I-Iris-sama, what’s wrong? Ah, can it be that human foolishness made you disappointed? 」

「I’m disappointed. For those who make hurtful remarks to be everywhere…….it’s scary, so I’ll shut myself in. Stay away from this land. I’m going to live here while decreasing interactions to the minimum! 」

「It can’t be…….Even if you say that, it’s still my territory…….No, of course, for the Goddess such as Iris-sama human’s reasons may not hold much meaning………but I want to revive the Silverlight house!」

「Why don’t you just choose any other place!?」

「I only have this land!」

Sheryl pulled on Iris’ robe with a tearful voice.
Iris too was about to cry at such a close contact with a human.

「Punipuni」

Then, Punigami, who stayed silent until now, entered the conversation.

「……..Who is this slime-san? 」

Sheryl pushed him with her finger as she tilted her head.

「His name is Punigami. He was on the verge of drying up in the well behind the church. Some things happened and he became my friend」

「Punii」

「Iris-sama’s friend! In other words, the friend of the Goddess! I deeply apologize for casually touching you! 」

Sheryl lowered her head in panic and hit the floor with her forehead.
There was a baroness kneeling before a slime, the world is truly wide.

「Puni」

「It seems that Punigami wasn’t particularly bothered」

「Ah…….a slime with such a broad heart……..thank you very much! 」

「Punipunii」

Punigami didn’t dislike being praised.
He was unexpectedly shy.

「Well then, Punigami. Didn’t you have some to say to me? 」

「Puni punipuni, puni」

「Eh……..this person is this land’s lord, so properly give it back to her…………? Uu……if I do that I won’t have any place to live myself…….」

「It’s all right, Iris-sama! Let’s live together! 」

「Noo! Humans are scaryyyy! 」

Iris curled like a turtle and his inside her robe.

「Iris-sama, please calm down. See, humans are not scary. Or, at least, I’m not scary」

Hearing that, Iris thought.

「……..Indeed, you aren’t scary. Easy to talk to……..or more like completely harmless……or more like stupid」

「Stupid!? No, if Iris-sama is willing to accept me then I’m fine being an idiot! 」

When Iris brought out her head from inside the robe, she saw Sheryl clenching her fist with a determined expression.
She did seem stupid.

「But……..there should be some people who bully such a harmless individual as you, right……….? 」

「Well…..more or less……」

「If the number of people increases, such bad people may come here! I don’t want that! 」

In the past, when Iris went to the town for the first time, she encountered some cuttlefishes.
Because of her fear, she ended up hitting them into unconsciousness.
If she meets such people once again…….it may not end with just a beating.

「In that case, let’s do it this way! I won’t permit anyone to touch this hill! Let’s make it a sacred land where humans are prohibited from going. Like that, scary people won’t come near」

「…….Still, it’s not a perfect solution. Are there any merits for me? 」

「Merit……..then Iris-sama. Do you desire something? Is there something that you want? 」

「……..A place without humans」

「Gununu………something else besides that……for example, what does Iris-sama like? 」

「Let’s see…….sleeping soundly. Also, eating tasty things, I guess」

「Oh, that’s it!」

It seems that Sheryl came up with a good idea as she snapped her fingers.

「As a ruler of this land, I shall present a luxurious bed and a fluffy futon to Iris-sama. In addition, I will bring a lot of delicious things! 」

「T-Tell me in detail!」

The conversation went in an unexpected direction.
A luxurious bead and a fluffy futon. In addition to that, delicious food that doesn’t require talking to get, if it’s like that, she didn’t mind listening to Sheryl’s proposal.

「In other words. Since Iris-sama is the Guardian Deity of this land, it’s a lord’s duty to keep the church clean and pretty. Although there are multiple churches, there is only one with the actual Goddess staying inside! There is a great honor in just taking care of you, hyahho! 」

「Hya-hyahho……」

「Puni」

She is indeed an idiot.

「Just like that, I will prepare the finest bedding for Iris-sama to sleep soundly on. When should I place it? How about that place with an altar? Sounds good, the Goddess sleeping on the altar. I will pray with all my effort! 」

「It’s fine even if you take it easy…….I’m looking forward to the bed and the futon. So what exactly the delicious food would be? 」

「At first, let’s carry some good sweets from the other town! After that, when the land would be developed to a certain extent, I will cook for you using the local ingredients! 」

「Are you good at cooking?」

「Leave it to me! Even like that, I was still a maid! I may lose to a chef but there were times where I made late meals for the princess! 」

Sheryl puffed up her plentiful chest and made a light snort.
I see, on a closer look, her housework skill should be up to per considering her background.
It may be fine to expect a lot.
And above all, the fact that I wouldn’t have to go to town to buy food is truly wonderful.
I will be able to stay inside all the time.

「All right. For now, I shall believe you. But I don’t believe anyone except you, so make sure they won’t approach the church. If a stranger somehow gets inside……I may accidentally burn it」

「What are you going to burn!?」

「The world」

「The world! This is a serious problem. This area will be off-limits! 」

Sheryl, still sitting on the floor, vigorously nodded her head.
Seeing her like that, Iris felt somewhat apologetic.

「No……well, take care of me in the future…..」

Iris too nodded in response.
After the two nodded about 10 times more, they finally got up.

「I’m going to return to the capital for the time being. Even though I said about the redevelopment, I’m almost broke. I need to gather funds first! 」

「I see, the funds…….in this case, you can take as much elixir grass as you want outside. I will grow back anyway」

Said Iris, which made Sheryl open her mouth wide. She truly looked like an idiot.

「Elixir grass? Eh, it can’t be, such precious grass is growing outside!?」

「Un. It grows in no time」

「Is it true!?」

Seeing is believing, so Iris brought her outside to show it.
The number of elixir grasses kept increasing every day.
She didn’t count but there should be about hundred growing around.

「See?」

「I-It’s true! I didn’t pay attention before but this is definitely the elixir grass, here, even there! 」

「It seems that it’s much more precious than ordinary elixir grass. See, rainbow-colored. It became like that after it sucked my magical power」

「Howaaaaaa, amashing! Truly amashing! If I sell this, I will be able to gather enough money without going into the depts! 」[¹]

「You can take all of it」

「The Goddess! Iris-sama is the true Goddess! The so-called God! 」

She screamed, spurted blood from her nose, and fainted.

「Wha!? What the!?」

「Puni」

She put Sheryl on Punigami, carried her inside the church, and tried nursing her.

「Etto, first I need to wipe the nosebleed, after that………wa, she has a fever! I need a wet towel! 」

Iris ran towards the well.
Why do I have to do all of this, she sighed.
I’m not afraid of Sheryl but she is so stupid that it’s troublesome, thought Iris.

Right now, I’m sweating bullets and Peris is making ohagi in front of me.

「Peris, are you okay?」

「Anko is about to be ready!」

「All right, please wait for a moment」

We continued the work that we started at five in the morning for 6 hours already. When I looked outside the window, I saw a lot of people there. We still need to make much more. After renewing my determination, I joined the anko-making efforts.

It is a nice autumn day. It was time for a harvest in the Kurumfar territory. Especially the rice grown in the paddy fields. It shined in golden color and showed a magnificent growth.

「Oi, we have enough of those. You should go get lunch! When Pius-san and the rest finish over there, let’s all have a meal! 」

Kunogen, the former member of the imperial knights, gave his instructions in a powerful voice, unfitting of a person that only recently woke up. Right now, he was in charge of the mercenaries’ training.

Kunogen, who departed to the imperial capital together with Oshe, appeared before us five days later and

「Can you hire me to work in the Kurumfar territory? Oh, here is a letter of recommendation from Commander Rafaiens」

There was「as an apology for that day, I will give you this man」 written in it. I immediately hired Kunogen and delegated him to work under Pius. Kunogen’s talent surfaced in no time as he began training the mercenaries and teaching them about the strategy. Even at today’s harvest, he displayed his splendid leadership as the mercenaries harvested the rice without any wasteful movements.

The fields were harvested by the farmer aunties with Ferris and Luara in their center. The males of the sea tribe came to help out, so the harvest was proceeding at a decent rate.

Gon and Mei were in charge of managing the quality of the harvested crops. The two thoroughly scrutinized the ingredients. And Rico commanded the harpies and geryons to drive away all the monsters that tried to interfere with the harvest. As expected, there were no foolish monsters that decided to go against S-rank monsters, geryons, and the harpies. If there is something they can’t handle, like a dragon, I’m going to step in myself.

The princess of Kurumfar, Itora tasted ohagi and zenzai made by us. It seems that she liked it as she cried out kiyukiyu in joy.

In the afternoon, we’ve finally met our goal and me, Peris, and Rico, who was hugging Itora, teleported to the harvest area with ohagi and zenzai that we made.

「Oi, let’s have a meal! Ohagi and zenzai are the desserts! 」

About 1000 people on the scene made a grand ovation.

I took out some tables and put out onigiri, sandwiches, salads, soup, pasta, vegetables that we prepared since three days ago. I also put ohagi and zenzai together with them. The plates were cleaned out in no time. At that time, all I did was to refill it.

I also handed lunch for the geryons and harpies, who were in charge of security. They ended up taking a meal in turns so I made their portions twice as big.

Everyone ate with a great vigor. I could hear happy voices from all over the place. Such a peaceful scene.

「…….For everyone to become like this」

Suddenly muttered Rico.

「What’s happened, Rico?」

「Behold, Rinos. Men and women, old and young, beastmen and adventurers, monsters and humans, everyone is working together, eating together, and laughs together. To be able to witness such a scene…….is a miracle」

「Even I don’t know how this happened……」

「……It would be nice to see such a scene many more different places」

「I agree」

I gently embraced Rico.

After a while, Gon and Mei came back.

「Good work out there! It’s time for a meal! 」

「Master, I’ve checked the harvest with Gon-sensei. There is no problem! It’s all good! 」

「I see! That’s great. Oi, someone, call Willis. Also, call Marcel too」

After a while, the two arrived.

「Willis, it seems that the harvested goods are all good in quality. Open the supermarket tomorrow as planned. After you finish your meal, carry the ingredients. I will the arrangements to you. Tomorrow is going to be busy, so go to bed early」

「Understood! Please leave it to me! The customers kept asking when the store is going to open. I will definitely have it open by tomorrow」

「And Marcel, good work but you’ll have to deliver dried kelps and katsuobushi to the supermarket too. Bring it by tomorrow morning」

「Understood, Leave everything to me」

During these three months, I spend some effort in developing katsuobushi and dried kelp. In the end, I managed to produce a satisfactory result. I tried selling them at Willis stall and they obtained great popularity. Even now, it is being swept from the counter the moment it is brought out. Thanks to that, our household’s menu became even better. This time would be a long-awaited sale.

While I was settling the matters, Mei was surrounded by a lot of people and had an embarrassed expression.

「Ano……everyone, is something the matter? 」

「Mei-chan…….」

「「「「「「Thank you!!!!!」」」」」

Mei’s eyes became round at their excessively loud voices.

「Ah, eh? What is h-happening? 」

「We thought that this land was beyond saving. However, Mei-chan made our land so great. Thank you」

「When the lands became white, I was at a loss what to do. Never did I expect for the land to become like this. Everything was brought by your efforts, Mei-chan」

「The tools made by Mei-sama are truly useful. The harvest has ended so fast……it was truly a lifesaver」

「Thank you for saving us」

「Thank you, Mei-chan」「Thanks」「You’ve saved us」「Tell us more sometime later」

Mei stood amongst a myriad of smiles. She was talking with the villagers with an extremely embarrassed but happy face.

「All right, after the meal we are going to harvest the remaining crops! Tonight, we will make a party using the things we harvested! 」

「「「「「「「「Ou!!!!!!!」」」」」」」」

We finished harvesting before the evening and prepared the party. Drinking and eating sashimi prepared by the sea tribe was especially pleasant as we watched the red sun sinking into the sea. And, as a matter of course, the harvested rice and vegetables were quite delicious. I took out the remaining meat of Curse Charole and the golden birds to add to festivities.

I wonder how long did it last. Some distance away from the noisy party, Mei was quietly looking at the land of the Kurumfar from the top of a small hill.

「What’s wrong, Mei?」

「……..No, it’s nothing」

「if you stay here too long you may catch a cold. Nights and mornings became much colder recently. It’s about the time to close the party. We are going to help Willis out with the opening tomorrow, so it’s better to rest now. I’m going to return to the mansion soon, let’s go back together」

「Am I…….allowed to go to Master’s place? 」

「What’s happened?」

「I killed a lot of people. But this me has also received the gratitude from so many people. Is this truly how it should be……」

「Of course, it is. Mei, to live in this world, it’s enough to remember only two things. You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s okay」

「Only two things?」

「Right. First, don’t be a nuisance to other people. Second, you need to do things that help people. Right now you do not bother anyone and do work that helps people. That’s enough」 [¹]

「……」

「The people of Kurumfar are all grateful to you, or did you find their gratitude annoying?」

「There is no way this is true! I was just hesitant. Is this really okay…….」

「Mei, how do you want to live your life? Are you against doing research that helps people? 」

「I…..want to save all kinds of people. If my skills, my technology can be of use to people then I will be satisfied. No matter what. No matter the job」

「That’s how the job works. No matter how small, it can make some people happier. Mei did a job that saved a lot of people. Can you continue with it from now on? 」[²]

「…….Yes. Please let me do it! 」

「Oh, Mei……look at the sky. It’s incredibly beautiful」

「…….Uwaa」

The sky was full of stars. The cold atmosphere made the picture even clearer.

「Let’s go back, Mei」

「Wa……..kuh, uuuuuuu……..」

「Mei, what’s wrong!?」

Mei clutched her head and crouched in pain. I gathered everyone in a hurry and moved to the mansion. Then, I let Mei sleep in her room. I ordered the rest to sleep since we had things to do on the next day. However, Gon and Rico insisted on watching over her, so we did it together.

Mei suffered from high fever. Occasionally, she mumbled「I’m sorry」「forgive me」in her sleep. Closer to the morning, Mei finally regained her calm breath.

「How about some rest, Rinos? I can take care of the rest」

「She doesn’t have the fever now, it should be all right」

「No, we should soon head to Willis’ place. There is no need」

As we had such a conversation, Mei slowly opened her eyes.

「Mei, are you all right?」

「Yes, my head feels so light. My mind was never so clear. A heard something breaking inside of my head and I suddenly felt good. Was this Master’s magic or maybe Gon-sensei’s………」

Heard something breaking? Mind became clear?……I felt the same when I was released from being a slave. I panicked and appraised Mei.

「Self-loathing」title is no more. Not just that, most of the skills increased in level and four of them even hit a counter-stop. Apparently, the skills that were suppressed until now were suddenly released provoking such a reaction. She even received two additional titles. Just what is this……?

Later, she was acknowledged as「Holy Maiden」for saving lives and educated many talents earning recognition as「Great Sage Merias」but both, Rinos and Merias, didn’t know that yet.
