92 Chapter 92: The Beginning (1/2)
Musashi halted his footsteps and turned around to face Caesar, he had a contemplative expression as he stroked his beard.
”Hmm, there are many races that can charm, such as a vampire, succubus, incubus, siren, and many more, however, there are only a select few races that can involuntarily charm others”
Both Caesar and Ahri urged him to continue with their eyes, even the kobold elder that joined their group late was looking at Musashi inquiringly.
”Both the valkyries and the nymphs are well-loved races, the Valkyrie have a strong holy affinity which naturally attracts others with it's warm and loving energy, while the nymphs are forest-dwelling girls that love attention and familial love… both attract others with a different sort of charm, however, both races have unfortunately gone extinct”
Caesar stroked his chin in deep thought, 'Elizabeth could be either one, I had never actually tested nor sensed the mana within her body, so perhaps she is a nymph?'
”You never told me about these two races before, grandfather, how did they go extinct”? Ahri asked curiously, she had wanted to know which race Elizabeth was, but there was no way they could tell without the person in question being present.
”Haha, the story behind the Valkyrie and the Nymphs are quite tragic, why would I have told such a story to a young girl such as yourself” Musashi chuckled dryly and explained.
Ahri rolled her eyes and Caesar's brows furrowed, ”please do tell us more about them, I would like to think that they are no longer extinct…” Caesar asked, the more information they knew about both the Valkyrie and Nymph, the better.
”Ohoo, you say they are no longer extinct huh? Interesting…” Musashi spoke with a strange smile.
Caesar couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance 'this old man is purposely making it suspenseful... '
”Well, long ago, both of them belonged to two separate factions, the valkyries sided with the church while the nymphs sided with the fallen angels, or as you know them by, the four progenitors… you see, the nymphs may not sound all that powerful, however, they were the only race to have possessed the very rare nature affinity, which makes it possible to create forests in mere minutes, and while it is capable of creating life, it is also capable of healing... because of this, the Nymphs were the first priority to be annihilated in the great war”
Musashi paused and opened up one of his eyes to observe both Caesar's and Ahri's expression, seeing that they were still amused, he continued.
”The nymphs never killed others and were mostly a peaceful race, so because of this atrocity committed by the church, the first progenitor was enraged, alas, this was also about the same time his wife was brutally murdered and conspired against by his own kin, thus, a rampage ensued, with the Valkyries being the first progenitors priority to slaughter”
”I'm a bit confused, although Ahri has mentioned some of this before, I was wondering why the progenitors had betrayed the first progenitor, furthermore, you had referred to them as the fallen angels?” Caesar blurted out a few questions once Musashi paused his story, he was very intrigued by the history of this world.
