Chapter 723: I’m Not A God
The truth was right before their eyes.
One of their own had been killed by the blind young man with nothing but a simple pebble throw.
They had prayed and worshipped their god every night for more than hundreds of years now, and with every night they got her blessings, causing them to grow stronger and stronger.
There was almost none that could match them in this world, and even humans were nothing but prey.
So how come one of them had been killed so swiftly?
After killing one of them, Zeras made no move to attack any more and he simply continued on his path but was stopped by the leader’s voice.
“One hundred years ago, a woman came to us and destroyed our entire monster clan.
She spared the five of us and gave us a blessing.
This ancient guitar and a sutra that is to be sung every night.
In exchange, we felt our strength increasing every day.
Her name is Anuka, and she is a god! But you, you have been able to kill one of our own with nothing but a mere pebble, and even seemed to know about the realm of our god.
Are you…a god too?” The trembling voice of the man resounded as Zeras’s eyes furrowed before his lips parted.
“I am not a god, and neither is she…” Those were his words before he turned back and continued on his path, but not for long did Zeras suddenly stop and he turned, walking back to them.
They were unmoving as he walked through them, and finally, Zeras came to a stop just beside the tree bark the leader sat to play the song.
Happening to leave the guitar and bending to the ground, Zeras took it in his grasp.
His hands trailed the line, and with a slight pressure, the strings vibrated and he felt the surrounding around him fracturing to pieces and in the next instant.
A bright flash of light illuminated against Zeras’s face as he found himself once more within a golden room.
“Congratulations on successfully passing the trial!” the voice resounded through the hall, as sight once more was given to him.
The first thing he saw was the rewards that were arranged just like before, and as he scanned through, he couldn’t find the earring.
That most likely meant that the earring was most likely kept on the higher floor.
“What a strange trial…” Zeras mused, as right in his hands was none other than the wooden guitar.
The object he had taken from the monster men that was said to have been given by their god.
He had no idea why he had even taken it from them, but there was something that just arrested his attention by simply feeling the guitar music.
It was through it he had asked, “Who was Anuka?” a name encased within the notes.
He had not understood how he had been able to understand the name from a note playing but it was still mystifying to him, and in the end, he had simply decided to take the guitar with him.
In the next instant, it faded away from Zeras’s hands, stored into his spatial ring.
An explosion crashed next to him, sending him three steps backward, but he didn’t want to get involved and simply moved to the side.
“Congratulations on passing the trial!” The cute feminine voice belonging to none other than Sanche rang out behind Zeras’s ears as he turned to the side, finding the sitting figure mysteriously beside him once more.
“Same to you too…” He responded with a smile before turning his attention back to the fight that was occurring.
But soon something caught his attention, and he furrowed his eyebrows, turning to look up at the far distance where a figure could be seen sitting down and also staring back at him with a smile that seemed to be overly familiar and playful for a stranger.
“Why is she here this time?” Zeras unconsciously asked Sanche, who turned her gaze to look into the distance where Zeras was looking at.
“Who?” She asked, and Zeras turned back to where the Faerie was sitting but raised an eyebrow when she saw she had faded away into thin air.
“Ahh, never mind…” Zeras responded, waving her off with a calm smile, but his inner emotions were anything but calm.
‘That Faerie is starting to give me chills…’ He mused to himself quietly.
“So what world are you even from? The Frugal Plains, the Korona World, the Yoxi Continent?” Sanche asked him, wanting to strike up a conversation, and Zeras, about to respond to her, changed his answer at the last second.
“I come from a world that used to be quite high-profiled for some time, but then there was this god war that tore apart my world.
Can you guess it?” Zeras asked her with a challenging smile.
“Hmm, a world riddled by war? Thousands of worlds get destroyed by war all the time. It’s really hard to take a good guess…” Sanche replied with furrowed eyebrows, and truly, there were thousands of worlds that got destroyed in her memories.
“Which is the one that went with the loudest bang! ”
The one whose war everyone knows of and can never be forgotten…” Zeras replied back as Sanche’s head buzzed and she provided answers.
“There are three such wars that rippled through entire realms, destroying worlds. First is the World of Gora.
The people of Gora are six-armed devilish tyrants that were so arrogant they paid no heed to the warning of The World Order Assembly.
That resulted in a war that could never be forgotten, and though the Gora’s were eventually wiped out with their world destroyed, it was still a war where the World Order Assembly had most of their members lost to it…” Sanche explained, and Zeras could immediately tell that had nothing to do with his origin.
But he was a bit hopeful…
