Chapter 471 - 421 : sChampionss (2/2)
”What makes you so certain?”-Arthur
The woman refused to answer and merely smiled at the confused Arthur.
After a short silence, Quhea continued with her story:
”What you saw in Riarravar is nothing compared to what will befall on the 'multiverse' if the boundary is broken. Despite our advantage in numbers, the enemies' powers are unique and battle-oriented whereas, I, for example, cannot even stand head to head against the weakened Zaarae… my job is to pass on knowledge and create a history for the future.”
As if he couldn't keep listening to all this nonsense, the Joker clicked his tongue and spoke with a harsh and loud tone
”Do you honestly and seriously believe we'll lay down and obediently fight them to fix your stupid mistakes? Even if they do invade the multiverse, we can still guarantee our safety… why would we fight someone else's war.”
With a hand on her mouth, seemingly pondering, Quhea gazed at Wolfram and retorted:
”The first person that they will look for will be none other than your brother.”
She pointed at Arthur and stated:
”He's the root of everything and Zaarae's main target. I may not fully know you but I'm certain you won't do nothing when millions of monsters are chasing after your brother.”
Hearing this, the Joker chose silence over arguing with Quhea, who was giving him a strange smile.
”I'm right, aren't I? From my perspective, you are an eccentric man but I know for certain that you value brotherhood more than anything.”
”Still, we can hide from them, there's no need to fight a losing war.”-Leiu
”That may be true but such a solution is merely temporary. Sooner or later, they'll find you. One of the four is Xyktia, an expert in tracking anyone wherever they are.”-Quhea
”Aren't you contradicting yourself? You just said that 'they' won't interfere with the war between the mortal battles.”-Arthur
”Yes, they consider themselves higher beings so they will just let their creations do the job. However, you three and a few other individuals are an exception. Just like Wolfram inherited Tiarius powers, there are individuals who obtained their powers, they're like their 'champions'. When you go back, you need to check if any of the four is still alive or if someone managed to acquire their powers.”
Still refusing to go with the flow and accept everything as is, the Joker snorted and added:
”I'm not going to fight for your sake. If they do come after my brother, I'll defend him with my life but I won't go out of my way to protect everyone… it's simply bullshit!”
Then he proceeded to ignore Quhea, who responded with nothing but silence. After an unknown amount of time passed, she asked
”What about you two?”
Leiu crossed his arms and said : ”I'll wait and see.”
As for Arthur, he pondered for some time before asking:
”Is there any way to get rid of the barrier or strengthen it so they cannot enter the multiverse?”
The woman sighed, shook her head and answered:
”Unfortunately, the only way is to fight them.”
”How can you expect us to fight them all with just the three of us?”
”I never said you'll be alone. There will be some people who'll support you but you three will be the main force. Given enough time, I'm sure you guys will reach great heights and become equal if not stronger than Zaarae and the rest.”
She paused for a second, pointed at the sheathed Dark Blade before saying
”After all, you not only got Zaarae's powers but also Ventus Malum.”
Arthur followed her gaze and stared at the silent Makaze, which didn't react to her words.
”Ventus Malum, the Gale Devourer died of grief and sadness and his body transformed into a powerful blade, mightier than any other weapon.”
”You're telling me Makaze is one of the six born from the Darkness.”-Arthur
”That blade was born from the body of Ventus Malum and inherited his powers. It is by far stronger than the Eighteen swords created by him.”
