Chapter 564 (2/2)

「However, there’s only a few of them in history, so this is just my opinion based on what I’ve read and what I’ve heard from the director」

「Other than the High Elves,  are there other races that have achieved the Gods Return?」

The other students then began to actively ask questions, as if their nervousness about Fran’s presence had completely disappeared.

「That’s a good question. As far as I know, the Elder Dwarves achieved the Dwarven God Return and the God Demons achieved the Demon God Return」

「So, what about the unidentified races?」

「Let’s see. First, there’s the Divine Dragonmen, they’re said to be the Return of the Dragon God, but the documents about them have been lost due to the destruction of the Continent of Gordisia. However, their existence is still known among the Dragonmen, so there’s a high possibility that they actually exist」

The Divine Dragonmen. I had an idea of what beings they were. In the battle in the Royal Capital, Velmeria, who was being controlled by The Sword of Blind Devotion – Fanatics, and went out of control, must have some kind of skill to become a Divine Dragonman.

And I’ve witnessed how tremendous her power was when she used that skill.

So, wasn’t that the Divine Dragon?

「And for us Beastmen. I’ve once heard that there’s a saying that some of the oldest kin among us also has a being called as the Divine Beastman」

「Divine Beastman?」

「Yes. It’s said to be a being whose power even transcends the Ten Primordial Races. And there’s also a story of it defeating a Divine Sword with its bare hands」

「Eehh?」

「That’s, really…」

The students then made a commotion when they heard Horial’s words. There were also classes about the Divine Sword in this academy, and that must have been told of its tremendous power.

Maybe, they must think that Horial, who is also a Beastman himself, was exaggerating about the Beastmen’s Gods Return.

But Fran and I have different thoughts. Because I’ve actually witnessed Velmeria fighting evenly with Ashwrath, a Divine Sword user, and as for Weena Rhyn, we hadn’t seen her using all of her power, but she seemed to have enough power to fight a Divine Sword.

『And if that Divine Beastman has the power of Weena Rhyn or Velmeria class…』

「Nn. There’s a possibility of it winning against a Divine Sword」

Fran’s muttering seemed to have caught the ears of a surprising number of students. Horial, too, asked back with great interest.

「Do you have any thought about it, Black Lightning Princess-dono?」

「Nn. I’ve fought Weena Rhyn before, so I’m pretty sure she’s strong enough to fight a Divine Sword」

「…Have you ever seen a Divine Sword?」

「I’ve seen Ashwrath fight with his Divine Sword」

「I see. So, you’ve seen both the Divine Sword and the Gods Return, huh!?」

The noise in the classroom got even louder. Apparently, the story of her seeing a Divine Sword in an open state was shocking. She was then bombarded with questions from the surrounding students.

I was afraid that Horial would get angry with her for sidetracking the lesson, but he ended up asking her a question about the Divine Sword himself.

He just liked the legends in this world, so it couldn’t be helped.

In the end, they ended up talking about Ashwrath and his Divine Sword until the class ended.
