Chapter 687: Conqueror, Lector Orwenz, Rulers and a God (1/2)
”Welcome…Conqueror.”
”Oh…”
Vendrick stared blankly at the scene in front of him. He was transported in an artificial world filled with lush, tall mountains, clear streams of waterfalls and a vast blue sky along with a boundless field.
A spirit was floating in front of him, it was a woman who's facial visage was hidden behind a hazy light. She was nearly naked, her ample breasts are covered with what looks like her hair, she has a stunning hourglass figure and her lower half doesn't have any cover, however there's also that faint hazy light that covers her private area. Just this view would make any mortal delusional with lustful thoughts but not Vendrick.
A blue sash could be seen arching behind her body, anybody who sees her would most likely assumed that she's a fairy, a deity, a goddess even. Well, they aren't wrong…
”I have been waiting for 15,000 years for you to come, O dear Conqueror.” The woman said.
”A Conqueror you say…” Vendrick frowned.
In reality, he was surprised. 'Conqueror', her calling him this shouldn't just be a mere coincidence. After all, that word is strongly connected to his true purpose here.
”Indeed, you have are born to be a Conqueror. Tis but a shame that you came 15,000 years late. I' afraid that the situation will be disadvantageous to you.” The woman sighed, her voice carrying a deep sense of regret.
”Care to explain? Honestly, I don't know much about this world at all.” Vendrick calmly asked, he didn't feel any kind panic or fear from the woman's somber tone.
”My name is Lucia, one of the Imperial Fairies that are tasked to aid Conquerors in their Conquest of this land.”
”I am Vendrick Rogers from the Blue Mountain Tribe not far from here.” He replied, ”What is a Conqueror? How did I become one? And what's this about me coming here late?”
”The name is of this land is Bright Star Great World. It is a prosperous land that had existed since eons ago. Ever since we became aware of our surroundings, it was humans who ruled this land, however that changed when the Demonic Beasts arrived.”
Lucia's voice become a bit faint as she recalled the history of this world. ”The Demonic Beasts are merciless and cruel. Humanity was almost driven to extinction because of their relentless attacks. But as fate would have, it seems that humanity wasn't meant to end there.”
”From the dying embers of humanity, he came. The blazing sun that illuminated the path and ushered humanity to it's golden age…the First Conqueror - Lector Orwenz. He was born a slave but died as a God.”
”It was thanks to him that we, Imperial Fairies, were born. Before his death, His Majesty Lector pried the Heavenly Secrets one last time. There he saw a vision of humanity's decline after his death. It would've been okay if it was a simple decline but from his vision, he saw that humanity's chances of extinction will be almost certain.”
”His Majesty Lector didn't want such ending for his beloved race, therefore using his dying breath, he scattered his essence and fused it with his loyal subjects. He left them a gift that they can use in order to continue the legacy of humanity and prevent them from becoming extinct.”
”Since we, Imperial Fairies, are undying beings, he left a task for us. He said that there will come a time when a Hero from humanity, bearing his pedigree and his ambition, will appear. He asked us a favor to watch over those Heroes and guide them so that they can replace him and become the next Conqueror of the land.”
”So long as a Conqueror lives, Humanity will never fall. That was his decree. Unfortunately, His Majesty was a different cut from the rest.”
A sorrowful mood descended, Vendrick could feel sadness and pity rising from the woman in front of him.
”He underestimated Humanity's flaws. Thinking that they're infallible, humanity began walking to its eventual disaster. Those who followed his were greedy, treacherous, betrayers, arrogant and so hungry for power that humanity began crumbling apart.”
”His Majesty told us to watch over his next incarnations but they too aren't immune from the toxicity of human tongue. They were painted with dark colors and they became the thing that they swore to kill.”
”We, Imperial Fairies, might be undying creatures but even us won't dare to claim that we're infallible. The greatest proof of this is me, the Last Imperial Fairy.” Lucia's voice was filled with sadness at this point.
