Chapter 388: Where to go? part 2 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
Angel received the stick from Elizabeth as she then slowly pointed it at the Horizon Empire.
Horizon Empire, the 2nd rank Human Empire amongst all the 5 Empires of the Human race. It's the biggest territory amongst all the Human territories, even bigger than the 1st rank, Dragon Horn Empire. They house the headquarters of all the associations in the Human race, such as the Adventurers Association, Merchant Association, Craftsman Association, Industrial Association, Mage Association, and many more associations. The rank 1st Mage Academy is also located in their territory and even the Infinite Magic Sect, specifically the 1st rank Sect of the Human race, is located over there as well.
”I only have two reasons for choosing Horizon Empire, and that is aside from being the second most powerful Empire of the Human race, they are also the only territory that stood a chance in fighting against the Dragon Horn Empire,” Angel paused as she retracted the stick before continuing, ”Why do we need to fight against the Dragon Horn Empire? Well, it's very simple; Emperor Yuta would definitely come after all of us once he hears about us. No, to be more precise, he would come after me, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte, six women who are not only beautiful but also has the potential to become powerful. That's the kind of woman that Emperor Yuta wants, so as soon as she hears about that, then we would not only be facing against the forces of the Gods but also the forces of our own Human Empire.”
Heaving a sigh of helplessness, Angel explained further, ”Not only that, even the other Human Empires and Kingdoms would think of fighting against us as well, as they would want to capture us. For them, capturing us is the same as being able to ask for a favor from Emperor Yuta, which in most cases is to trade us from one of their deadliest weapon, the Chaos Deviants.”
Hearing the mention of the Chaos Deviants, everyone immediately turned solemn.
All of them have known or long heard about the so-called Chaos Deviants.
The Chaos Deviants are actually Hybrids who are a product of experimentation using the Chaos Mana from the Chaos Mountain that the Dragon Horn Empire has gotten after sealing a Chaos Elemental.
Just like Hybrids, the Chaos Deviants have many different traits basing on the breed of their parents, thus allowing them to do many unique physical combat styles. Although not all of the Hybrids are powerful, even with their unique physical combat styles, it still can't deny the fact that there indeed exists a few of them, and such Hybrids are the perfect candidates to become Chaos Deviants.
No one knows how exactly are Chaos Deviants created, aside of course from those people who experimented with them, which includes Emperor Yuta. But one thing is for sure; through the use of Chaos Mana, the Chaos Deviants became really powerful to the point that they are almost like the Chaos Mana itself.
Just like Chaos Mana, which would devour other Elements of Mana, aside from itself, the Chaos Deviants also have similar traits.
In the case of the Chaos Deviants, they would devour all the Elements Mana, including Chaos Mana itself, in order to become even more powerful. Aside from that, just like Chaos Mana, almost all the Elements are ineffective against them. So, when fighting against them, unless one is good in physical combat like the Magical Knights and Battle Mages, then they would basically be doing almost no damage against the Chaos Deviants. Of course, it's still possible to kill them through using Magic spells or any form of Magic, but it would be the less effective method when fighting against them.
Actually, the Chaos Deviants are known to only be able to rely on two different styles when it comes to fighting. One, they can only use Chaos Mana since all the other Element Mana can't be used by them due to the nature of Chaos Mana that rejects any other Element Mana that isn't similar to them. Two, their physical combat capability, which is the reason why the Hybrids are the perfect candidates.
That's the reason why the Chaos Deviants are labeled as extremely dangerous to everyone, which, at the same time, also became a high demand by all the Royal families of the different Human territories, or even allied Foreign races.
In fact, the Chaos Deviants was the main reason why the Dragon Horn Empire is more powerful than the Horizon Empire as of now.
In the past, before the Chaos Deviants were revealed by the Dragon Horn Empire, the Horizon Empire was rank 1st amongst all the Human Empires, with the Dragon Horn Empire being the 2nd rank. It was simply because almost all the talented and powerful people of the Human race live in their territory. Furthermore, they produce talents far more compared to the other Human territories due to their well-established Mage Academies and also through the help of the Infinite Magic Sect.
But as soon as the Dragon Horn Empire revealed the Chaos Deviants, they immediately replaced the Horizon Empire in the 1st rank.
Why?
Very simple; the Dragon Horn Empire will only accept to trade Chaos Deviants to its allies and no one else. Although it's still possible to get one through different channels, but once discovered, they are immediately eliminated.
This, in turn, attracted the 2nd and 3rd rank Human sect, specifically Heaven Feather Sect and Twisted Horn Sect, to become allies with the Dragon Horn Empire. Aside from them, Aurora Empire, Violent Lotus Empire, and Holy Light Empire also became very close allies with the Dragon Horn Empire. And to make matters even worse, many of the Human Kingdoms who were once allies of the Horizon Empire cut off their alliance with them just so that they can join and become allies with the Dragon Horn Empire.
Unlike the Aurora Empire, Violent Lotus Empire, and Holy Light Empire, which all have powerful Magic technologies that the Dragon Horn Empire is interested in, the Human Kingdoms, on the other hand, were considered powerless when it comes to trading powerful Magic technologies. That's why, their condition to trade Chaos Deviants was to cut-off their alliance with those that aren't part of the Dragon Horn Empire's alliance, which in fact, is actually targeted to the Horizon Empire as they have almost all the Human territories as their allies.
The most commonly known trade that Emperor Yuta has personally publicized is by trading powerful and beautiful woman that he wants to add to his harem or through powerful Magic technologies, such as the Floating Mountain of the Aurora Empire, and Magical objects, such as rare and above Magical resources, Magic weapons, Magic equipment, or even Magic tools in exchange for Chaos Deviants.
