Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Chapter 109 - The Truth and Danger

Chapter 109: The Truth and Danger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Stefan was shocked and in disbelief. He had never expected to meet Romo again in 500 years. He looked at Romo and kept repeating, “How can this be? So many years have passed? How can he still be alive? This must be a dream. Wake up quickly. Ahhhh!”
Suddenly, he wailed in pain as if someone had grabbed his neck. He looked again and saw that it was Romo who had pinched the Golden Pill in his hand hard.
The power of the Golden Pill was far greater than Stefan had thought. Romo had merely pinched it just now, and it was a fate worse than death for Stefan. It was not just physical pain, but a pain that had penetrated deep into his soul.!!
Looking at Stefan in excruciating pain, Romo stopped pinching the Golden Pill and said expressionlessly, “If you don’t want to be in so much pain, answer my questions properly. Otherwise, you should know the power of the Golden Pill without me saying.”
With that said, Romo released his grip completely. Stefan finally stopped screaming. After what had happened just now, Stefan’s soul looked a little weaker than before, and he was still trembling uncontrollably.
“Please, I’m begging you. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. It was my fault hundreds of years ago. I just hope you won’t kill me, Romo.” Stefan begged Romo humbly.
Before Stefan could finish his sentence, Romo pinched his Golden Pill again and looked at Stefan coldly. The temperature in the surroundings seemed to have dropped a few degrees. Seeing Stefan in pain, Romo finally stopped his torture. “Don’t talk terms with me. You’re not worthy!”
“Answer truthfully what I ask you. Don’t force me to search your soul!” Romo said.
The soul-searching magical power was a type of magical power that a high-level Mage would use. It was to read the memories of the body directly through the soul. Although the information read by this method was very accurate, it would cause great harm to the target. The lucky ones would be delirious and blabber nonsense, while the unlucky ones would have their souls scattered.
The two torments had almost cost Stefan his life. “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.”
Romo looked at the locations of the others and said, “Finish in half an hour.”
“Okay… okay.” Stefan shuddered.
From Stefan’s description, Romo learned that after he had been betrayed and died back then, Stefan had obtained a lot of treasures, so he went into seclusion to cultivate his magical power.
When he came out of seclusion, he wanted to break through the bottleneck of the level-8 magical power, so he started to search for treasures everywhere.
In the beginning, he was clueless about the treasure location, but one day, Stefan suddenly recalled Romo mentioning a secret place where treasures were hidden.
Later on, he came here and was trapped here.
When they first met, most of what Stefan had told them about his experiences had actually been true. Only a small part of it had been fabricated to hide his true identity.
Back then, he was the only Mage who had survived the treasure-hunting trip and also discovered a big secret in the stone coffin.
Later, he discovered that he would not be able to live for long. In order to survive until he could get out of this place, Stefan had no choice but to cultivate the evil technique. In the end, his life was saved, and he became half-human and half-dead.
About two hundred years ago, another group of Magi had come here to search for treasures. Stefan had used the same method as today to deceive Alan Heber, and obtained the Hexagram Formation which Alan Heber had invented, and then pretended to work with him to eventually kill Alan Heber.
In these 200 years, Stefan had painstakingly studied the Hexagram Formation of Alan Heber, and he had also used Alan Heber’s identity.
Therefore, everything that Stefan had said earlier, apart from the fact that his identity was fake, about Gajeel in the stone coffin, including the evidence, was true.
But Stefan had also withheld an important piece of information. There was no way for half-human, half-dead monsters like him and Gajeel to leave the fourth level. There was only one way to get out of here, and that was to find a suitable body and possess it.
However, he could not completely copy Gajeel’s method. After all, the situation of Stefan and Gajeel was not completely similar. Stefan could directly possess the physical body.
In 200 years, only three batches of people,including Romo and the others, had come here. Stefan had carefully selected the physical bodies, but none of them had caught his eye. And those people, as expected, were all dead.
It was only today, when Romo appeared, that Stefan finally found a physical body that had caught his attention. Wasn’t Romo’s physical body what he had always dreamed of?
In order to obtain this physical body, Stefan had deliberately fabricated a half-true lie to deceive Romo and the others. Then, he searched for a suitable opportunity to kill Romo and possess his body.
He had even found an excuse to explain all this. By creating an accident and pretending to let ‘Alan Heber’ sacrifice himself to save everyone, Stefan could use Romo’s body to break through the magic formation with the others and escape.
However, what Stefan had not expected was that Romo had long seen through his lie, and now that his Golden Pill was in Romo’s hands, his life or death depended entirely on Romo.
“I’ve already told you everything, please spare me. I know I was wrong. It was not my intention back then. I was forced.” Stefan pleaded. “Please spare me on the account that I have told you so much true information. Return the Golden Pill to me.”
Romo continued to look at him coldly, as if he was thinking of something. Suddenly, he discovered the abnormality around him. “Are you stalling for time?”
Suddenly, the ground where Romo and the others were standing started to become violent. The formation which should have been completed just now suddenly started to become unstable, as if it was about to collapse.
Stefan, on the other hand, had also changed from his earlier bitter begging and started laughing out loud. “Hahahahahahaha, you have never expected this, have you?”
“None of you can get out today. We’ll all have to die here.” Stefan looked at Romo with a ferocious expression. He had a deranged expression, as if nothing mattered to him anymore.
It turned out that he had already expected Romo not to let him off easily. He would surely die in Romo’s hands, so he had left himself a backup plan…
Since he could not survive, he would drag everyone down with him.
And the earth-shaking situation now, had initially been designed for ‘Alan Heber’ to make a sacrifice. Stefan had secretly tampered with the formation, so it was impossible to complete the formation.
Now that there was an unexpected situation, the plan had changed.. Without Stefan’s follow-up operations, Gajeel, who was in the stone coffin, was about to wake up.
