Chapter 84: A Greater Scale (2/2)

"Excuse me? Explode?" I sputtered, about to refute

While taking a couple of steps toward me, he interrupted, "Well, I suppose without it, she would've been dead by now so it wasn't a coive that one away and take the time to absorb the elixir pearl with your bond It'll help with your training quite a bit"

Sylvie tilted her head in confusion while taking a look at theseemed to stop after Windso

I shook my head at this "Shouldn't it be co on? Who or what exactly are you? Why did you bringsuit of yours, now is it? Very well, if I were to introduce myself in a way that would be easy for you to co like this: I come from the land of asuras and am what you lesser races call a 'deity'" Windso as he said this

"Deity? The deities that supposedly blessed the three races with artifacts that basically allowed theic?"

"Yes yes," he nodded impatiently "Keep in o, with any for been destroyed or possibly having never been written in the first place It is in our best interest that we keep it this way

"The extent of knowledge that you have lies in what the for the three races with a set of artifacts that eventually allowed future generations to learn what you now call 'ic' That was just the outco that no one on this land knows about," Windsoht, like he was lecturing a class

I stayed silent, letting him continue

"As you lot have recently discovered, there exists another continent in this world The only two bodies of land that makes up the two ends of this world have always existed and have been protected and watched over by us We asuras are and have been governed by a doctrine, a noblesse oblige of sorts if you put it si of our existence We are not to lay a hand on the lesser races inhabiting the land below,sure only to act in times when either of the two continents fall out of balance or are on the brink of extinction" He let out a sigh as he turned his back toward us "That was, until we found out that this sacred rule had been broken"

The look I had on hts away because Windsoine the multitude of questions youwith you currently is only what you will need to know at this point We have ti you too much noill only distract you"

Not much ti me this only flooded my mind with even naled for hi back and forth between the two of us in confusion

He gave a nod back and continued

"Despite how you may refer to us as deities, we are far from Gods… or rather, we're far closer to you than you think Much of the econoinally mimicked after the systems of my land Epheotus, the land of asuras"

Epheotus and Alacrya

"Of course, while Epheotus isn't nearly as large as either of the surface continents, ears of society work is comparable Epheotus was once divided into three factions that wereit down quite a bit, the ruling clan of each faction had their own nuance in ideals, which congregated the other clans to join either of the three factions While ideals may have been different, every clan of asuras still kept to the paraainst the lesser races However, after Agrona, the successor of the Vritra Clan, caed"

The na in my mind like thunder Vritra wasn't the name of the black-horned derona like and what happened to the Vritra Clan?" I leaned forward in anticipation

I could tell Windsohts "The Vritra Clan had always been an anoine theic is unique and versatile, it was never as powerful as the other clans' enius minds and insatiable curiosity, they were always one of the central clans"

"If they'd always been one of the stronger clans, how cos became so different once the Vritra Clan ca and a clan becoain, think of the Vritra Clan as scientists, as researchers The clan had very little interest in anything other than gaining knowledge and insight on utilizing e seekers that only pursued what they could not yet comprehend; the previous head of the clan was even more so fervent in his quest to overcorona… he was different While charisry He believed that the asuras were never meant to watch over the lesser races but rather rule over them as their Gods," he clarified

Windsoan leading the Vritra Clan, however, their strength abruptly increased unnaturally No one could figure out how Agrona could advance the Vritra Clan's h their rise in power, they were able to rally up more clans to share his ideals and the Vritra Clan soon led a faction on par with either of the other two existing factions

"It was only later that we found out that Agrona and a few other of the Vritra Clan had secretly beentrips to the Continent of Alacrya While it wasn't forbidden for us to go down to Dicathen or Alacrya as long as we concealed ourselves, their movements and behaviors were eerily suspicious After the other two factions found out about this, they sent out scouts to figure out what they were up to" I could see Windso his fists

"Agrona and the Vritra Clan had been inhu on their bodies to find different ways to enhance their own abilities"

Scenes froeons beco corrupted, traces of the black-horned deether at Windso brutally honest, this infor and all, but what does this have to do with ine what could leas iht Besides your own abilities, which are barely noteworthy by our standards, there really shouldn't be a reason to tell you all of this The only reason I do so is because of your ties to us," he answered, pointing down

"Kyu?"

I subconsciously stepped in front of Sylvie to protect her

"We've been searching for Lady Sylvia for years with no success, yet after finally finding traces of her nature; what's evenover him, he held in his hands a deity Arthur, you are currently bonded with the child of hest level of power in the leading faction of Epheotus"
