Chapter 240 - vs. Yuko 1
What if he claimed that he was a member of the Ieshi clan? No, that won't be plausible. He didn't know anything about them except that they could predict the future.
He also didn't know the extent of Raeshka's talent about the Ieshi clan. She said that it was a clan of humans not demis so it was impossible that a monster like Souta was a member of the Ieshi clan. Plus, he already told her before that his tribe died and he was the sole survivor of that goblin tribe.
Huff...
Souta took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself. He shouldn't rush it. He would eventually find the truth in the future as long as he continued to increase his strength. At least, he knew that Raeshka knew something about the Ieshi clan. If he gained the power to rival hers then he would ask it to her again in the future.
But what if he was related to the Ieshi clan? He have a strange feeling that he couldn't explain every time he heard it. If he was a member of the Ieshi clan, he would try to uncover its mystery. He wanted to know his identity more than anything. His identity that he forgot, the Souta of earth.
'I know that Raeshka have information about what happened twenty thousand years ago... She's a monster lord and she must have lived through different eras.' Souta glanced at the battle while rubbing his chin. 'There's also the other monster lords... I could also ask the spirit race in the Dark Forest. The most important thing is the three great countries. I didn't doubt that they held information regarding the war twenty thousand years ago and why did the Ieshi clan disappear?'
He had tons of questions in his mind that he wanted to know the answer but he knew the truth that he wouldn't be able to get it at this moment.
Souta had a lot of things that he needed to watch. After version 1, several big events at the continent level will occur at the start of version 2. At the start of version 2, the Demon Invasion event will occur. The demon invasion wasn't limited to the Giza continent. The demon launched an attack on the two continents, the Giza and the God's continent. At the end of version 2, will be the start of the event called Rise of the Mechanic Country. The forces of the two continents were still trying to push back the relentless attacks of the demons. On the other side of the Giza continent, the Mechanic country was wager war to all of its neighboring countries. The huge countries around it started to make a move and joined forces to take down the Mechanic country.
In version 3, the War of Titans and Giants, the Commandment of Patience, and the Gluttony of the Gods were the big events that will happen in this world. The demons were still on the continent and were fighting some of the huge countries. The War of Titans and Giants and the event Gluttony of the Gods will occur in God's continent while the Commandment of Patience event will happen in the Giza continent in the later part of version 3. In this version, Souta went to God's continent and become the hero of Athena. He fought the titans and giants in the war. He became one of the strongest heroes of Athena.
And then, the Gluttony of the Deadly Sins appeared and brought chaos along with the rest of his force. The Gluttony killed numerous gods in the battle before leaving the continent.
In the Giza continent, the Commandment of Patience demonstrated power in several countries. Souta came back and joined the subjugation force of the three great countries. Only then they managed to stop the Patience.
The flames of war swallowed the whole continent. The Giza continent was divided into two parts by the Dark Forest in the center of the land. The western part of the continent was fighting the commandment while the southern part was fighting the demons.
About the version 4 and version 5 of the game... He didn't need to think about it. Version 3 was just the introduction of the power of the Deadly Sin and the Commandment.
Souta wanted to tell this to other people but would they believe him? No, they won't it would only invite himself trouble. They would ask how did he know about it? If he said that he had the power to predict the future then they wouldn't believe it. In fact, if someone believes it they would connect him to Ieshi clan. He knew well how the mind of those government officials works. They would try to own him or he would become a lab rat. Without any power, he couldn't reveal this to any people.
He shook his head and put those thoughts in the back of his mind. He decided that he won't tell anyone about it. What if he was really a member of the Ieshi clan? He didn't even know if they were still alive in this world or not so how could he ask for their help. It wouldn't be wise to risk his life to things that he wasn't certain.
"Hmm...?"
Souta forgot that he had something he needed to do. Raeshka already agreed to it so he placed his hand in his pocket and took out a piece of yellow paper. This piece of yellow paper was the transmission talisman.
He was sure that Lumilia and the rest were already looking for him and Yuki. It was dark and he hasn't come back so they were worried about his condition. He had to tell them that he was alive.
ROAR!!
Suddenly, the monsters around him roared and it shook the ground beneath his feet. It seems that someone won the battle and receive the blessings of Raeshka.
Souta looked over and smiled. As expected she won the battle of the second evolution monsters.
The winner of the battle is the Red Fur Bear, Yuko.
He asked Raeshka to let Yuko participate in the battle to receive her blessings. He said that he will ask Raeshka to blessed Yuko if he won the battle so why not let Yuko participate in the match. If Yuko won then Souta would have to fight her. And if Souta won, Raeshka didn't need to blessed Yuko as she already received her blessings.
That way, Raeshka didn't need to waste another slot of her blessing for entertainment. Also, this was the reason why some of her subordinates were against in letting Yuko participate in the battle. They thought that only Raeshka's subordinate has the right to receive her blessings.
"Child, come over here and I'll heal you," Raeshka said to Yuko as she gestured her to come over.
Yuko went in front of Raeshka. Her body was full of open wounds with blood leaking out of it.
Raeshka pressed her palm on Yuko's head and the best feram in her body flow in Yuko's body. Yuko's wounds slowly closed under Raeshka's power.
"You have to fight Souta after this. You don't need to hold back and I'm sure that Souta also wanted you to fight him using the power of blessings." Raehska said to Yuko while healing her wounds.
Souta knew that Yuko received the lowest blessing of Raeshka but it was enough for her to match his fighting power. He was excited to fight her as he wanted to know the extent of her power using the blessing of Raeshka.
Yuko receiving a blessing from the monster lord was more reasonable than him receiving the blessing. The humans and demis would be able to accept it but if he received it then he was sure that he would also gain a lot of enemies in the Hebrei country or any country on this continent.
After a while, Raeshka finished healing Yuko's wounds. She also recovered her stamina so she was ready to fight at any moment.
"It's your turn to fight, Souta..." Raeshka said as she glanced at Souta. "Give it your best shot. Fight each other as if you want to kill your opponent. Don't worry no one will die here so you can go all out."
Souta nodded and strode on the stage where he would fight Yuko. He looked at Yuko with serious eyes. She was emitting a powerful aura that could rival those of higher rank than hers.
Raeshka already activated the blessing that she gave to Yuko. It was Yuko's first time using it so Raeshka had to help her. This was Souta's advantage in this battle. Yuko didn't have a grasp of the power of blessing.
"You can start the battle..."
Souta heard Raeshka's voice and at the same time, he heard a sound in his mind.
*Ding!*
[Blessing]: Yuko received a blessing from a monster lord and you had to fight her. Defeat Yuko and show the monster lord that your power is unrivaled in the second evolution stage.
