“You can tell now,” I waved my hand. She asked Hilary to be gone, and we are now all by ourselves.
“Not like this,” yet she suddenly took out a flashing golden orb and held it tight in her hands. Once she did, the orb flashed in bright golden light before a huge net of sparkling golden threads appeared around my entire chariot.
“This…” I didn’t get the aning behind what she did.
“It’s one of the highest selling items I have,” she went to touch the threads, and the mont she did a lody appeared as if she was playing on an instrunt or sothing.
“Anyone trying to listen to our talk will hear this lody instead and might feel sleepy,” she didn’t stop touching the threads, moving around my chariot while adding, “now we can speak properly, Hye king of human race.”
“What?” her tone and attitude strangely changed. I raised one eyebrow while she kept moving around like she was doing sothing she got to do from a young age.
“Don’t worry, I’m just a ssenger,” she said as if this was a light thing, “We are just taking over your subordinate body temporarily, to just deliver a ssage.”
“You? Who are you?” I answered these shocking words by holding my glaive and pointed it towards her direction. Yet even if I got the feeling she got what I just did, her moves and actions never showed any sign of nervousness.
“Don’t get stirred up like this, we are just here on a friendly visit.”
“You didn’t say who you are yet.”
“We… Can be considered to you as the collection of old souls,” her tone was the sa, but she gave the sense that she grew older and had much domineaur than before, “a group of old souls guarding our race.”
“The Hector race? Or another?” I was in such a weird situation where I couldn’t get what was going on.
“The Hectors,” she nodded while keeping her walk around, “we were watching you through our people you entrapped using the advantage of the system.”
“I’m just playing according to the rules,” I shrugged, without shifting my gaze off that weird soul controlling my Lily for even a single second.
I didn’t feel great having such an uninvited guest in my chariot. And so I also called for my pillar, ready for a brutal fight at any mont.
“Rules or not, you are devastating my poor race with such supremacy.”
“Poor race? One of the big three is a poor race? That’s a joke!”
“Ranks and titles never mattered in the apocalypse, only might and strength did. And you are considered an anomaly in such a world.”
“Thanks for the praise, but you didn’t tell why you are here.”
“I did,” she kept her tour around my chariot, completing the first round and continuing, “I want you to keep the fifth beast alive.”
“When it ca from Lily, it looked weird. And coming from you, makes it weirder,” I paused before adding, “this fifth beast holds great importance for and my kingdom. Sorry, I can’t agree.”
“I’m not speaking about losing a beast. If you want, I can just give you an egg of another beast, just to complete this useless circle of power you are seeking.”
This mysterious soul… He was offering a beast in return? And his way of putting it made feel he never placed any importance about stopping from taking the blessing of the five beasts together.
“Don’t give that look, after all we didn’t leave the guardian beast behind for our race to kill.”
“You… Are speaking like you are the one who created the legendary na of your race.”
“I am,” she slowly nodded, “not only , but everyone else on my side is.”
I didn’t get his aning, truly, but it seed he despised the fact that his race’s future generations kept killing the beast’s offspring he left behind.
“Why didn’t you try and speak with your race leaders then?” This was the easiest way to solve this ss, “they are your descendants and will listen to you.”
“The greed for power… You can’t underestimate such thirst,” he said as if he had already tried, more than once, and failed. “We tried, but they never listened to our requests and pleas. All they cared about was finding ways to make their people stronger.”
“That’s natural,” I didn’t have anything to say to argue with such logic. I wasn’t acting any different actually, aiming to get anything to help to reach this goal as well.
“No, don’t think you are the sa,” shockingly enough, this dude seed to read my mind, “you are different.”
“How? Sorry but I beg to differ.”
“Of course you are, did you forget about what you said earlier?”
“About what?”
“A kingdom where all races will live equally and have a chance to get to higher positions based on their efforts?”
His words made freeze for a long mont. Indeed I said sothing similar just recently. Don’t tell he was listening to all this while he was controlling my Lily.
“We were watching you for a long ti already, I told you this before. So don’t be surprised, thanks to that great speech you said before, we are eting today.”
“To ask to let go of that beast? Offering another? Why?” I had to understand before deciding anything.
“The guardian beast… Is just like any sane race in the universe.”
I didn’t get what he wanted to say. “What do you an?”
“She… Is like any mother, giving birth to new kids every few years. Tell , what shall be the normal course of such an act?”
“Mother gives birth to kids, she watches over them until they grow up and have a life of their own.”
“A guardian beast will give birth to who will beco guardians in the future, right?” When he said it, he controlled Lily’s body to stop, turn around for the first ti since starting his tour, and waited for my answer.
