Chapter 271 - The Ark Of The Gladiators (1/2)

”All hell broke loose. That's where we learned about these Husks. They look like actual zombies, but with upgrades. And the younger planets stood no chance of survival when they got attacked. Small planets were consumed by the days. Even us Bahamuts had no way of helping them,” said Ysabeau.

She was still guilty for not being able to help the weak Mages. Had they, had she responded quicker, things would have gone better.

Or stayed the same, since no amount of things could reverse the damage that those Husks had done. And if Valkyries themselves could not handle it, what made them think that Bahamuts could?

”And the whole thing happened within the span of a month. But the deciding fate of Valokia happened within a single night. The night I became one of the 11 Gladiators. It wasn't an easy task, it was also a rushed job. And I needed the backup of the other 10 Gladiators to pull it off.”

”The 11 Gladiators? I thought they were just a myth,” asked Bryan.

”I'll turn you into a myth if you don't stop asking weird questions and let her finish,” growled Ysabeau.

”Easy there. I'm not a Mage like you lot. Give some time to digest. Besides, all these things are new to me. I can't possibly accept all of this info dump at once. Plus, I like her story and I want her to finish but I need to ask questions as well.”

”Don't be so uptight all the time about me.”

The nerve of this damned brat...

”I'll digest you if you don't get ahold of yourself and pay attention to the conversation we are having.”

”Ysabeau, don't get angry at him. It isn't his fault. He still has a mind of a human. Give the boy a break.”

”We've mentioned the Gladiators a couple of times by now. How is it that you only thought to ask this question now?” asked Mavislin, confused at how clueless this human was.

”It slipped my mind. I was trying to grasp how the spell structures work when you brushed about the Gladiators. So, what or who are they? From what I gathered, they were like warriors, right? They existed to fight the other planets which Valokia deemed 'hostile',” asked Bryan.
