Chapter 369 - 322 : Midolf (2/2)
It continuously looked around but found no sign of its target. Its sudden outburst and loud tone alerted both Lucy and Shu Ru. The girl remained in her cross-legged position but Lucy got up and appeared next to Arthur as she thought the roc to be a threat.
Though the creature was a High Sovereign, she felt threatened by it, unlike with the Yin Beast.
After ascertaining the absence of Radolf, Midolf turned to look at Arthur and yelled
”Tell me where is that goddamned lizard.”
Seeing such a foul mouth and aggressive attitude, Arthur frowned and chose not to answer. He certainly didn't summon this bird to cause a scene and be yelled at.
Moreover, trying to reason with it seemed to be a total pain in the ass. With the help of the book, Arthur summoned it back and getting rid of its loud blabbering.
”Huh, a rebellious roc, no surprise.”
Claud commented after Midolf disappeared. Arthur wanted to ask his copy for the meaning behind his words only to receive a detailed answer before he uttered any single word
”Rocs are legendary beasts that existed before the Void Era. When they fully mature, they have bodies bigger than any other living creatures and despite not being the strongest, they were feared by many. Some even said that they were the creator of Wind Laws but there was no evidence to prove such claims.”
'Radolf is supposed to be a lizard, is it a legendary beast too?'
”Honestly, I don't know. I never heard of powerful lizards before Void Era.”

As the two of them sat there for a very long time, the Joker yawned whilst complaining
”Arghh this is booooooring...”
The Nameless Knight, who had his eyes closed, opened them and glanced at the person sitting beside him. With his chilly voice, he answered:
”Go read a book or something, it's still early for the action to begin.”
As if he was insulted, the Joker retorted
”ME? Read a book? You've gone nuts!”
After a short silence, the Nameless Knight said
”Then how about I tell you a short story?”
Hearing this, the Joker's expression brightened as he laid back and readied himself. After letting a long sigh, the Nameless Knight began recounting the story
”It's a story from long ago, before there was magic or cultivation. When the humans only relied on Science, when they sought evolution and ignored Gods. There was a mortal, a man, different than others. Unlike his fellow humans, he was born with a special power that caused him to be cast out. The power he had would make anyone jealous, even in this current era. To see the future and what it holds for us, to see what's to come and prepare for it. Most called him 'The Prophecy Holder' yet none believed him. They chose to suffer from the doom that befell on them rather than believe his plea. They chose to use their 'Science' to face one disaster after another....”

'Tell me, where is your maker? Call him! Call down his wrath upon me! You cannot... for he does not exist!'
Somewhere in the Northern Continent of Astria. Saly, who ventured in one of the dangerous zones of the demon continent, stumbled upon a strange stone that had these words engraved on it. Astrith, who was beside her, remained silent as he didn't find anything dangerous about the stone, however, Saly was in a daze as she stared at the stone.
