Death… And Me

A few days later, inside the Ruined City, Fuhiro suddenly appeared, being teleported into it by the entity that resided there. After the events at the bottom of the Chasm near the City Walls, he went outside the Azum Dimensional Realm to send a Thoughts Transmission Talisman to the Holamenor Clan. Once that was over, he returned to the Dimensional Realm, using his connection with the entity in the city to teleport him back to the ruined city deep into the Dimensional Realm.

"How was it?" Kijia asked while she ate a fruit, seemingly unconcerned.

Fuhiro shook his head. "They said that since Aelrie entered the dominion of the Shadow Ferals, they couldn't do anything about it. Spiegel had just entered the Divinity Realm, while the Shadow Feral down there had been in this Realm for a very long time. Besides, the Chasm is full of Dark Element, not Light. That Shadow Feral would have an overwhelming advantage if Spiegel went down there to fight it. And we aren't even counting all the other Shadow Ferals, like the few at the Space-Time Realm in there."

Kijia narrowed her eyes. "So are we truly just leaving Aelrie behind? We need her, you know. Only the Shadow Feral Bloodline can help our Holamenor Clan improve, and it has to be a Queen's bloodline."

Contrary to what Rean and Kentucky thought, the Holamenor Clan didn't abhor the Shadow Feral Bloodline they had in their bodies. In fact, it was thanks to this that they were not controlled by Rean's Father, Romario. Now that the Holamenor Clan became the savior of the Angel Realm, even if they increased their Shadow Feral Bloodline to the point others would notice, the angels would be hard-pressed to accuse them.

It didn't end there. One must understand that it was already a miracle for the Holamenor Clan to have the Shadow Feral Bloodline. The Shadow Ferals are Dark Element Angel Beasts, which are extremely rare. Nonetheless, their Dark Element deeply contradicted the Light Element in a normal Angel's Bloodline. Even if a Shadow Feral Angel Beast were to mate with a normal angel, conceiving a descendant should be nearly impossible.

Yet, that's exactly what happened. Over the years, that Shadow Feral Bloodline almost disappeared. After all, their only Shadow Feral Ancestor was the only Shadow Feral their clan ever meddled with. Not to mention that in the past, the Holamenor Clan did indeed despise their Shadow Feral Bloodline, so they only reproduced with normal angels since them. That brought about the dilution of the bloodline. Their Wings' Feathers returned to a completely white color, and the Shadow Feral Bloodline could simply be ignored. Nowadays, if one wasn't aware of the bloodline from the start, they could really go through their entire lives thinking that they were pure angels.

That's why the secret of the Holamenor Clan's Bloodline was known by a scant few, and usually, these few held high positions in the clan. The only exceptions were the descendants that were born with an unusually high concentration of the Shadow Feral Bloodline. These ones would obviously notice this issue sooner or later, so they were made aware of this history.

Kijia, who was in the Azum Dimensional Realm with Fuhiro, was one of these descendants who was born with a higher concentration of Shadow Feral Bloodline. Fuhiro, as a member of the Holamenor Clan, also had the Shadow Feral Bloodline, but his own was very thin, so he could pass by a normal angel without a problem.

That said, after saving the Angel Realm, the Holamenor Clan changed their plans. It was time to reawaken their Shadow Feral Bloodline. It was for the sake of the clan and also for the sake of the Angel Realm. They couldn't let something like the Soul Worms happen again, and it was indeed a very easy thing to happen in the Angel Realm, where all angels were basically one and the same race.

There were a few exceptions of angels who had mixed bloodlines, too. However, those other exceptions got their mixed bloodlines from normal Light Element Angel Beasts. They still felt ashamed of that, but at least there was no conflict between the elements of both races. The Holamenor Clan was truly the only one with a Dark Element Angel Beast Bloodline.lightsnovel

Still, as Angels, the Holamenor Clan didn't have any ambitions of controlling the Angel Realm or the such. They truly wished for the Angel Race's prosperity and believed that with the Shadow Feral Bloodline, they would have one more weapon to fight in case their normal Light Element Angel Experts were not enough in the future.

There were two ways for them to achieve that. Have their clan mate with Shadow Ferals in their angel forms. Even if the Holamenor Clan has a thin Shadow Feral Bloodline, it would still be extremely hard to conceive. It worked once in the past, but the Holamenor Clan didn't really have to capture a lot of Shadow Feral and start an orgy with them.

Besides, the second method was several times better. They needed the Queen of the Shadow Ferals and then have her mate with a trusted and skilled member of the Holamenor Clan to generate descendants. The Queen's bloodline was the purest among the Shadow Ferals, which would instantly increase the Shadow Feral Bloodline Concentration of their descendants to at least half.

Yet, Shadow Ferals were extremely proud, just like angels. In the same way Angels abhor the idea of having their bloodlines mixed, so do the Shadow Ferals. There was absolutely no way their Queen would accept the idea of mating with angels, especially due to the prejudice between them. Shadow Ferals are Dark Element Angel Beasts, the opposite of Angels. Both sides had never been on good terms to the point the Shadow Ferals ended up being sealed in the Azum Dimensional Realm many years ago. Obviously, it was back during the time the Shadow Ferals were still free that the Holamenor Clan Ancestor and the Shadow Feral got together.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm To circumvent this issue, the Holamenor Clan decided to make use of the entity in the Azum Dimensional Realm. They reached a deal with that entity and were even lucky enough to find someone who looked a lot like Aelrie when she was in Angel Form.

For the matter, the initial intention wasn't to capture Iolanda. Instead, it was to capture the previous Queen, Iolanda's mother. But seeing Iolanda and finding out she was the previous Queen's daughter, the plan was quickly changed. Shadow Ferals only had a single Queen, no exception. So they killed the previous Queen, which immediately caused Iolanda to become the new one. It was a bloodline trait that activated on its own in the case of a Queen's death. Every single Shadow Feral was a Queen's descendant or relative, but only one was chosen as the direct descendant, and that was Iolanda.

With the Queen's death and Iolanda's capture, they had the Azum Dimensional Realm entity alter her memories, bringing her back to the clan after sealing her bloodline.

It wasn't hard to seal Iolanda's bloodline either. The Holamenor Clan spent pretty much its entire history hiding its own Shadow Feral Bloodline, so they were very used to methods of sealing it. Sealing Iolanda's Shadow Feral Bloodline was pretty easy with her low cultivation, too.

Little did they expect Iolanda would ever manage to return to the Shadow Ferals' Territory in the Azum Dimensional Realm, but now it was too late. Thus, this was the situation now.
