325 Tailed Oracles (2/2)
The tailed beast oracles inherently possessed an immense talent. It was as if they were blessed by the heavens themselves. One unique thing about them is that the bloodline awakens at different races every century.
For example, if the bloodline will be awakened at a certain individual from primate race, then it and its descendants will have the bloodline awakened as well. This will go on for 100 years. After that, the bloodline will be awakened by someone from a different race. This cycle continues until someone finally achieved the nine-tailed stage and become Beast Emperor
Of course, this bloodline is different from the regular tailed beast bloodlines. The Centennial Tailed Beast Oracles are of a higher status than them since they have the highest potential.
Unfortunately, it has been too long since the last emergence of a Beast Emperor. So much so that the faith of Demonic Beasts toward the Centennial Tailed Beast Oracles had faded already. So much time has passed that the information about them, which should be possessed by every beasts, are gradually fading away. Back then, it will only take a glance and beasts will recognize who has the bloodline. Now, there has to be a trigger to remind them of this.
A great example would be what Ronald did just now. Telling his brothers that they possessed this bloodline acted as trigger for them to recall this information. Which also answers the reason why their tribe remained somewhat peaceful all these years.
As for why Harry wanted them, that's simple.
He wanted to extract their blood and infuse to himself. Harry's ambition, is to become the next Beast Emperor.
”So that's why you're overprotective.” Allan commented on the side.
”Of course not you idiot!” Ronald smacked his head, ”Why would you think that way? I didn't become overprotective just because I didn't want our bloodline to end up in the wrong hands. I did because you guys are the only ones I have left! Our parents died a long time ago. I did not want to lose you two as well.”
”Hoho.” A mocking tone suddenly echoed on their ears.
It came from Harry who's watching everything unfold. He was even faked wiping his tears away as he said:
”I'm so moved.” Harry chuckled and said: ”Why don't you come with me instead? You know that this tribe can't protect you all right?”
The tailed brothers remained silent and looked at him intently. Harry then continued:
”Look. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. If you guys come to me voluntarily, I won't raise a ruckus. Resist and I will take you by force. You guys are smart, this is not a difficult choice at all!”
Harry's words definitely placed them on the spot. Ronald gritted his teeth and glanced at his brothers and his tribemates. He didn't like this position at all.
”This is so dramatic, it's creeping me out.”
A bored and lazy sounding voice suddenly echoed behind them. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on who spoke. They then saw Raven with an unnatural expression on his face. Compared to the intense atmosphere of the tribe, he looked so out of place.
”What's a puny Human doing here?” A random troop suddenly asked out loud. ”Ah! That must be the one that Gil was talking about. But he doesn't look all that impressive to me.”
”Did I give you any permission to speak?”
*Boom!!!*
As soon as Raven cold voice echoed, a massive suppression suddenly descended onto that Ape. As if the world suddenly came crashing down, the Ape suddenly prostrated on the ground while shaking fiercely. Everyone's fur stood up in horror, they didn't see Raven lift a single finger yet he disabled an Ape that could cause so much destruction on their tribe.
”On your next life, learn how to mind your manners around your betters. Remember that you died because of your carelessness.” Raven said in a harrowing tone.
”Die.”
And as if the Raven's words were the Heavenly Will themselves, the prostrating Ape suddenly exploded like a watermelon, causing a harrowing silence to drown the tribe.
