398 Chapter 397 (1/2)
”The new species of monsters proved themselves to be much more difficult to deal with,” Ryoko said. ”Although many people learned magic over the last three decades, humanity suffered many losses... it looks like it was around that time that Your Majesty began to fight up close. Your healing skills were powerful, so you decided to join the frontlines in order to heal as many as you could.”
”Really? As far as I can remember, I always fought on the frontlines,” Yuki frowned.
”It was also around that time that you received your nickname,” Ryoko added.
”What nickname?” Leon asked.
”The immortal empress,” Ryoko answered.
”I think the imprudent empress would be more fitting,” Leon smirked. ���Immortal... just because you heal your wounds faster than you can suffer mortal wounds?”
”Why, you...” Ren said, annoyed.
”I think the beggar sorcerer would suit you,” Yuki said. ”The mage who doesn't take showers would also be good... What do you think of the title: swamp creature?”
”I think you lack creativity, but that is to be expected considering that you punch strangers first and ask questions later,” Leon frowned. ”Continue.”
”... Although the new monsters caused some problems, most countries managed to suppress them, those who didn't receive help from others,” Ryoko said. ”However, ten years after they disappeared... the fallen returned and cause massive dungeon breaks. The small nations started to fall from those dungeon breaks. Even big countries suffered many losses, so many started to hunt the fallen.”
”That I remember, India and China suffered a lot back then,” Yuki said. ”Although they had some survivors who could, to some extent, read the minds of others, they failed in finding those bastards. It was discovered that some people had lapses of memory, so it became clear someone who could erase memories and control other survivors was using other people to do their dirty work.”
Leon clicked his tongue, that would make things much tricky. He already found monsters that could control others using illusions and Donan had the power to erase memories, Leon had no intention of learning that since he didn't want anyone doing what he wanted to do for him. It was disgusting to erase people's memories, even using that on enemies. Although he could resist and counter both, it didn't mean that it couldn't cause problems.
