BXBX NOVEL Chapter 570 Forbidden Lands
"Why can I use Legendary Souls to gain skills but not others?" Wain asked with a confused look.
"Legendary Souls have more energy, and it is pure enough for your Soul to take it, so several energies combine in you and turn into something completely new." Aurora said as though it was obvious.
"I see... Either fight or train, some things never change." Wain nodded.
Crackle.
Ern leaned back in his chair as he took a deep breath and said, "Damn... It was hard to even for me to eat all that meat. That\'s it, I\'m ready to get out of here."
"I agree. The food was great, but we had to get to training. I want to reach the Fourth Chronicle like Wain, too, and as soon as possible." Alas nodded as he folded his arms in front of him.
"Wait, before we finish, I want to know something else." Wain held up a finger.
"What are you interested in?" Aurora smiled, "Ask away. I\'ll answer any question you have."
"As I understand it, the strongest in the Fifth Chronicle have powers comparable to the gods, so part of it they get because of their Cults, right?"
"Yeah. That\'s right. Faith is a powerful thing. You\'ll have to get into it someday, too. Otherwise, you won\'t be able to handle the strongest." Aurora waved her hand.
"Well... Is there any way to become as strong but without gathering your Cult? I don\'t want to do that. I don\'t need the faith of others, my faith in myself is enough." Wain spoke in a serious voice.
Aurora frowned as she did not like it. Wain was to be the next leader for the humans, it was his destiny as heir, and it was the perfect prerequisite for building a strong Cult.
"Damn... You like to complicate things so much..." Aurora shook her head in a disgruntled manner, "There is one option, but only a few creatures in history have been able to do that, so I don\'t advise you to do that, better to create your own Cult."
"A few people..." Wain muttered, "Obviously, Nameless King was one of them, right?"
Aurora didn\'t answer anything, but Wain understood from her eyes.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"If you don\'t want to become equal to a god, then you have to become just as strong." Aurora waved her hand.
"What does that mean?"
"Achieve 100% blood purity." Aurora said with a thunderous voice.
Ern, Alas, and Erza were shocked as their mouths opened wide.
"You\'ve got to be kidding..." Ern muttered, "That\'s impossible! 100% means there must be nothing in you, not even energy!"
"Yeah." Aurora nodded, "But it\'s actually possible, though almost impossible, so Wain, don\'t think about it. I\'m sure even Nameless King did it because of unique circumstances."
Wain nodded in silence as though he agreed, but his piercing gaze showed a very different response.
"Okay... Let\'s wrap it up." Aurora sighed, "It\'s time to go. Wain, I want to show you something, but before I do... You three, what are you going to do next? Are you going off to World of Destiny, or are you going to stay here?"
"Practice! That\'s obvious!" Ern exclaimed, "This is a great place to develop, so until I reach the Fourth Chronicle, I\'m definitely not going anywhere!"
"I agree." Alas nodded.
"Well... Though it\'s all rather strange, I need to get stronger, too." Erza muttered.
"Okay. Do whatever you want. You have my permission to go into most training grounds and arenas. There are plenty outside the city if you need monsters, but you can only count on yourselves there." Aurora uttered as she stood up.
"Huh, like I ever counted on anyone else!" Ern grinned.
Aurora walked over to Wain and said, "Come on. There\'s something you should see."
Wain nodded.
They jumped off the balcony and headed out of town along the rooftops. They were quick as lightning, so a few seconds later, their silhouettes were completely gone.
"Hey, is it okay for us to live in a city of humans?" Alas asked.
"Sure, why not?" Ern shook his hand with a confused look, "Just do like normal. By the way, it\'s about time for our first training session!"
...
Wain and Aurora had already been hopping through the branches of the massive trees for over ten minutes as they moved north.
"Where are we going?" Wain asked.
"To where the memories of the war are. I\'m not entirely sure what it is myself... well... you\'ll see for yourself soon enough." Aurora spoke in an uncertain manner.
\'The Great War... What happened there directly applies to me. There must be some reason why I became the heir of the Nameless King. Could I be his son? No, that\'s unlikely, but is it all about the unique condition?\' Wain muttered inwardly.
It was not until several hours later that they reached the desired destination. In that time, they had traveled over a hundred kilometers, the city was very far away.
"Hmm? What is it?" Wain muttered with a confused look.
The land ahead suddenly stopped as if it were the end of the world. It was a sharp cliff with several floating boulders in the air.
"This is the Forbidden Lands." Aurora said as she plunged down.
"Forbidden Lands?" Wain muttered.
"Yes. I don\'t know why, but after the Great War ended, this part of the Human World became inaccessible. Look." Aurora pointed to the massive gold seal that hovered over the rubble.
In the center of the seal was a sign that looked like a boot with wings. Next to this seal, a few hundred meters away, was another one, blue with a sign in the shape of a shard of ice.
"The other elders and I tried to break the seals, we did everything we could to open the passage to the Forbidden Lands, but we were unsuccessful as though a special key is needed to open the seals." Aurora muttered.
