Chapter 178: Family eting (part 2)
Silence prevailed as Colt’s words shut everyone up. The air was tense, as everyone other than Risa knew what Light elent was.
She raised her hand and asked, “What’s the Light Elent?” such was the question that stemd from his ignorance.
Colt turned to her, and despite what others may think, not knowing what’s Light Elent was understandable as it didn’t exist in the first place.
However, what surprised Colt, was the fact that everyone else present already knew what the elent was, “Considering everyone’s reaction, does this an everyone already knows what the Light Elent is?”
Liron nodded his head with a heavy expression, “Sadly, we do. Tristan, the King, once told us about this, told us about the legend of the past… do you know the legend of the Fire Dragon?”
“Do you an the one where you, Father, and Sir Gilbert went to slay the Dragon over at the North?” Colt confird, and Liron nodded.
“Dragons, for the most parts only ever like to sleep, rule, and eat… they do not go out and try to prove themselves worthy from anyone else as they knew that they are beings that already stands at the top. Only when a challenger appears that it fights. However, the Fire Dragon we slew was different. It was violent and destroyed everything and anything on its path.
“We thought that it was weird, and after so careful observation, we noticed peculiar elents from this beast. The Magic Tower then appeared before us and told us about a Dragon that had been sealed temporarily by the Apostle of Darkness about a millennia ago in the age of the Great Calamity.
“The Great Calamity, as everyone knows, is the ti when the Great Evil managed to control the Beast Gods and other powerful beings through unknown ans. At the ti, we did not know what kind of weapon the Great Evil used, but Tristan told us the legend about his family. It was a story about how the Great, Great, Great Grandfather of the founder was saved by the Apostle of Darkness and Apostle of Elental Root against a rampaging Dragon.
“The Dragon was put to sleep using the Darkness Illusion of the Darkness Apostle. Then, the Apostle of Elental Root trapped the sleeping Dragon in a Do using a Supre Earth Spell had it swallowed by the ground.
“The Apostles left but, not before explaining the briefest of things to Ancestor of the Founder to clear his mind — he was told that the Dragon was being controlled by the corrupted Light Elent and was ordered to rampage about. What we slew was the sa beast thousands of years ago. Knowledge of the Light Elent is quite rare, as only the Dracian Fate, which looks over the three Fate Paths, record them, and records of these have mostly disappeared. Only historians, Tower Masters, and the Ancient Families should know of it…”
Colt listened to the little story and took note of three things, first, the fact that those controlled by the Light Elent would still continue even after such a long ti, and second, was the fact that there were other Apostles, and lastly, there was sothing called the Great Calamity.
“Just to confirm, this knowledge is not sothing everyone knows.” Colt at least wanted to know sothing in order to clear his mind.
Liron shook his head, “No, not even the Nobles like the Dukes should know of this. For so reason, everyone who knows about this is not speaking of it like normal. The Public Libraries also do not have any book regarding this elent. Even the books that talk of the Great Calamity do not ntion this. And from what I can tell, the rest of the ruling powers keep it this way… I do not know why, though.”
Everyone was now on the sa page… well, not everyone as soone else still couldn’t figure out what the hell everyone was talking about, “Brother, you still haven’t explained to what this Light Elent is!”
Risa also listened to Liron’s tory, but as she had no clue what Light Elent was compared to the others, she was left with a cryptic image. With all the backstory being given to her, she grew curious as to what it actually was.
Colt sighed as he answered, “The Light Elent was once the Healing Elent before the Goddesses took it back. I do not know why it was taken away, but the Goddess Light replaced her gift to the world with Healing Elent to fill what had been lost. The Light Elent can control the mind and thoughts of others to a certain degree and affect their bodies.”
Risa finally understood, “So, Light Elent is like Healing Elent but with mind manipulation?”
“…not exactly, but you get the point.” Colt was still at a loss for why the Light Elent was forgotten, but if it has anything to do with the Great Calamity, then he had an idea as to why it was forgotten, ‘They wanted to forget about the painful past… or it could have sothing to do with the Apostles and the Goddesses.’
Colt decided to keep the thoughts on the back of his head before turning to his father, “Father, I have not told you about this, but, I think, the ones who appeared in the Magical Beast Forest and the ones who killed the Elders of the Phantasmagoria are the sa people.”
“…how can you tell?”
“The one I t claid to be the Apostle of Light or a Child of Light. When I arrived to save Mina, I saw him trying to control her mind… he forced Mina to slit her own throat so she can spare Filla.”
BAM!
“What!?” Liron broke the table in front of him; his face showed rage, “Why didn’t you tell about this!?”
“I apologize, but Mina asked of to keep silent about this… she didn’t want you to worry. But do not worry, I made sure to make the bastard suffer, by cutting him to many pieces — alive.”
Liron was still angry, but when he saw Colt’s eyes… it slightly lessened. Those eyes managed to make an impression on the General.
Fluff also took note of this and imdiately help suppress these emotions. Colt felt refreshed, “Thanks, Fluff.” He whispered before rubbing its belly.
“But they are no longer targeting us; they are over at the Easternmost area of the Continent; what is it that you are trying to tell us, Son?” Shickly asked. He had an idea what, but he wanted to hear it from Colt…
“Right, getting back to that. The thing is that, with their appearance in the Phantasmagoria, that could only an that there are many more of them. Soon, fleets of warships would arrive all over the Continent, and the embers of war would spread throughout the land. We have slain one their Supre Commanders, but they should have many more, soone stronger, and soone more capable, in short soon, there would be —”
“—War.“ Shickly and Liron said at the sa ti.
“That’s right, so we must act fast so we can protect our families. Right now, there is a lull, and this is just the calm, before the storm.”
