314 The dragons of origin
“Lilith, her maid Ester, and her familiar white wolf Lupa. Me, my maid Iris and my familiar Plow.” Vincent turned his gaze on Sakura and said, “I am sorry, but we can’t take you with us. I hope you can...”
“I understand. I would doubt your sanity if you asked me to go with you where many young human nobles gather.” Sakura bluntly said.
“I can request my father to talk to the headmaster, who is my father’s best friend. I can ask you to offer us a thing called a special pass and be allowed to leave the academy every Sunday.” Lilith blushed when her following words made Sakura blush and smile, “You can have Vincent all to yourself every Sunday.”
[Yup. Pain Mitigation might be maxed soon, ahahaha.]
-...-
*Cough* “Classes, check. Academy, check. So, the remaining questions are about the second armageddon and noble sacrifice.” Vincent tried to change the subject and let Kazumi get interested in the world’s lore.
Lilith nodded, took a sip of water, and continued.
“As I previously informed, the dragons allowed all living beings to have a class and the ability for certain living beings to feel, absorb, and manipulate mana. It wasn’t written anywhere, but we are taught that the dragon gods mana was shared through all the world, and we can now use the mana the dragon gods once possessed.”
“Does it mean mana existed since the dragons could use it? I think they only allowed everyone to have their bodies adapted and allowed the awakening to classes.” Vincent expressed.
.....
“I thought a lot and have arrived at this conclusion. The teleportation device that brought you to us is said to have both the Asura and Ancient Dragon language.”
“I know what was available to the public or exclusively for nobles. I assume no one knows the Ancient Dragon language because the only thing written in the books was how there were carving like gravestones where the dragons took their final breath. But now, there are none. The Dragon Ascent Religion took them all.”
[Are you saying that an artifact similar to the Book Of Heroes was created in this world of magic and where the impossible is possible? But what about the book Kevin wrote? Are they the same, or separate entities?]
-Who knows. In my opinion, the both of us being here is already an impossible feat.-
[You are right, yet it makes me angry when I think how we came here because some humans wanted to win over the demon race.]
[As Lilith explained, they might have jumbled some random and possibly powerful words and somehow created a never-ending teleporter that who knows where it went or if it still exists at that moment.]
-You are curious as ever, but you should stop thinking for now. Lilith finished drinking a cup of water. She will continue shortly.-
[Yeah. I will let the lore continue to bless me.]
“The records in the books say how the sura were weakest of the demon race., They looked almost like humans and monsters. Short, tiny wings on the back, horns like any demons, and a heavy lizard-like tail hindering their movement. This weak demon race began the armageddon and made all races hate the demon race.”
“Asura village was obliterated by a mysterious artifact falling from the sky. The land died out of corruption, and almost all the sura became an abomination. Many of the other demon races went to check on the sura village. They saved who could be saved and killed who could not.”
“In the end, about less than half of the sura managed to survive, and they began experiencing changes in their bodies.”
“Their previous horrid looks became unparalleled beauty, and their small wings became as large as the wings of a bird beastman. Their tail became smaller and more flexible. It could regrow when chopped as well.”
“Decades later, the sura renamed themselves Asura and hated being called a part of the weak demon race. The weakest of the demon race become the strongest with their mysterious powers. Additionally, their might and intelligence became unparallel, enough to question if the other demon races eyes were seeing reality or a dream.”
Lilith stopped when she noticed everyone looking at her with a frown. She quickly realized the missing link and explained, “After the first person from another world defeated the demon race, he discovered these secret records. This information is taught only to Count-rank nobles.”
“My Lionheart family was Count rank before I married, so I had access to this high-level information. But we dropped to Baron rank in ten years, and we almost became fallen nobles without a title if nothing happened in less than a year. My mother told me they almost sold everything to buy the herbs for my mother’s survival.”
Lilith turned her gaze on Sakura. “I guess Sakura doesn’t know about this. Your frown is cute, hehe.” Lilith chuckled while trying to stop imagining a past that never happened.
“I... Ahem.” Sakura cleared her throat. “As I said before. I only know about the worry of the second armageddon and to become strong enough to protect our families.”
“Lilith, are you saying the Asura mutated and probably became the first to have powers similar to classes?” Vincent asked after he considered the situation sounded quite familiar.
“I guess.”
“The records show how the Asura became mighty, and their city more advanced than now. More than two thousand years in the future. Enough that they tried to become the rulers of the world.”
“There is a book only available to nobles, and it contains information from the first and last interaction with the two dragons of origin. When the soul-like thread entered all life, every recipient entered a fragment of the dragons’ memories. It is said they saw a memory fragment lasting the same time as batting an eye.”
“Does it mean all the races apart from the demon race shared a compiled record of the memories into one record? It would make sense if the history were written with accuracy this way.” Vincent mentioned what Kazumi wanted to ask.
“Yes, many years later... but I don’t think all knowledge is true because the knowledge both taught and available in the Count rank nobility level states that the humans are the chosen ones. But Maid Xu told me how the elves are chosen ones in their version of the history. ” Lilith answered.
[Interesting information.]
[Knowledge only available to high ranking nobles. Additionally, it could possibly mean that Maid Xu is a runaway noblewoman.]
[This day can not get better than this. My mind is enjoying this feast of knowledge.]
“The olden records depict the dragon gods as the world’s guardians and then continue how they and their kin descended from their dragon heaven to stop the Asura’s madness. A war which led to the destruction of the world.”
“What do you mean by this world was destroyed?” Vincent curiously asked. Ester, Lupa, and Sakura nodded curiously. The word “destroyed” raised a puzzled frown on their face.
“The world is flat. No one survives after they leave the edge of the world. History says the war caused it, and the dragon gods managed to save five massive contents and a couple of small islands. However, some people debate if the world was flat from the beginning.”
Ester, Lupa, and Sakura nodded. However, Vincent couldn’t imagine a flat world to really exist. Still, then again, he was teleported not only to a different world but a world with magic, talking animals, and living souls.
In the end, both Vincent and Kazumi said nothing about this being a flat world.
“The part of the war was only one page long. The war started when the Asura began with their plan and obliterated a kingdom and its continent.”
“With the display of unchallenged might upsetting the balance of the world and the newly asura old kingdom they built caused the guardians of the world, the dragons, to wipe them.”
“The dragon’s thick scales are impenetrable, and no human weapon could hurt one, yet the asura with their powers and advanced technology powered by the mysterious artifact could rival the dragons in might.”
“The dragons had few numbers, each with powers to vaporize mountains, while the Asura had numbers and collective strength.”
“Power ranking change over the course of time, yet I was taught that the asura’s weakest people had the power of A Rankers of today.”
Lilith noticed everyone staring at her attentively. She lightly blushed and said, “It could be true, and it could be false. However, runes on equipment can make an individual stronger, so it could be true is they had powerful technology powered by a mysterious unknown artifact.”
“The war lasted for one day. One day of mighty beings duking it out for their goals. One side to maintain balance and the other side to rule the world and show everyone that they are the strongest in the world.”
“The land quaked with every attack. The earth caved with every explosion. The sea split with every confrontation, and the wind stormed with every flap of their raging wings. It was a day many died for their beliefs. A day remembered by calling it ” Day one.”
“The two dragons of origin went to the most populated city at the time. It was the Selos Kingdom of today.”
“The two dragons spoke with a soothing voice entering everyone’s minds. They asked the people to respect life and keep the world from losing its balance once again.”
“The tools will soon be in your possession. Do not betray our sacrifice.” the dragons of origin said before gifting all life the power of classes or the souls to produce magic cores.”
