Chapter 2809: Catching a Leviathan
[Reward: 2000000 Destiny Points.]
[Reward after bonus: 6000000 Destiny Points.]
[New title acquired: Leviathans’ Liberator]
The twins were already expecting the 6000000 Destiny Points. However, the title was different, especially since it seemed to be related to the Leviathans.
“Sister Orb, what is this title about? Does it have any use like the previous ones?” Rean asked.
[Let me see…] Sister Orb checked straight away. [Leviathans’ Liberator: As long as there is at least one Leviathan in a range of 100000 kilometers, the cost of Upgrades is reduced by 10%]
“Oh!” Rean had to admit he was impressed. “I think this is the very first time we got anything that reduced the price of the System Upgrades.”
Roan nodded. “10% might not look like much, but it will help in the long run. It is a very useful title… We just need to get a Leviathan to live with us now and that cost will always be like that.”
“Don’t you have anyone from the various groups of Leviathans you trained in the past few years?” Rean asked.
Roan pondered a bit. Most Leviathans who trained with him seemed to fear Roan every time they saw him. But then again, Roan didn’t really like the idea of taking a Leviathan if they weren’t of much use. If not for the Title, such an idea wouldn’t pop into his mind. “Hum… there is one Leviathan in the group of young ones I trained that could be said to be barely passable.”
Kentucky was surprised to hear that. “For you to say someone is passable, this Leviathan must have a very high talent. The Leviathans lived in this world for so long and are all terrible at fighting, so that makes me even more impressed.”
The others quickly nodded. Roan rarely ever gave compliments, after all.
“Whatever. I’ll go out and check if he wants to follow us. Well, he probably will run as soon as he sees me,” Roan spoke.
“Relatable,” Rean and Kentucky spoke at the same time.
Roan then disappeared from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, completely ignoring their comments.
In the following days, pretty much all the Leviathans who were helping with the preparation for the next war returned to the Dimensional Realm. That obviously included Floquei, the leader of the Leviathans.
In the meeting hall, they all gathered around the enormous Core at the center. Other than a tiny hole, it was definitely the Core they all knew so well.
“To think they truly managed to remove the core…” Jokios spoke, finding it hard to believe.
“There is no doubt. Our bloodline is reacting to the Core, just like it always did. This is our Sacred Land’s Core,” Vancon also commented.
Floquei narrowed his eyes. Even though it was tiny, he truly didn’t like the hole in the Core. “What if they had broken it…”
“They were quite prepared,” Olvris spoke. “Everything that I told you happened in a very controlled manner. Looking at everything now, I don’t think there was ever a risk of the Core truly breaking.”
“Still,” Floquei wasn’t convinced, “The Core was created by the Fragment. Now that the Fragment is gone, will the Core last?”
Olvris couldn’t answer that question. “I’m not sure. But if it is of some assurance, ever since they gave me the Core, its power over my bloodline hasn’t diminished even a bit. As a Divinity Realm Leviathan, I would definitely have noticed if the Core power had changed in the past few days.”
Everyone in the room nodded. For them, there didn’t seem to be any difference. If anything, they felt their connection to be better now that they got so close to it for the first time.
Suddenly, the door of the meeting hall opened, and Rean entered, followed by Romario. “Hello, everyone. Did you call us?”
Floquei nodded. “Olvris told me everything. It is true that being able to move our Treasure as we wish is very good for our Leviathan Race. However, that was a risk that jeopardized our entire race.”
Romario shrugged. “You said it yourself. We could try as many times as we wanted. You believed we would never succeed. Obviously, you were wrong. You should be a little more thankful, you know? You don’t need to stay in this Dimensional Realm anymore. Staying sealed in this place for so long was what made you all so weak. Shouldn’t you consider it as an opportunity?”
“I know that,” said Floquei. “What I want is a guarantee. What if the Core suddenly starts to lose its power over our bloodlines? That would definitely be because of the Fragment you removed from it.”
Rean understood that. “That we can’t be entirely sure. Nonetheless, it would be pointless to put the Fragment back. It was the specific conditions of this place over the many years that gave birth to the Core that enveloped the Fragment. Now that they are separated, they won’t join together ever again. You should know that already since your bloodline is connected to it.”
Floquei and the other Leviathans wanted to refute Rean’s words, but they knew he was right. They could tell just by touching the Core that inserting the Fragment inside wouldn’t make any difference anymore.
Rean then gave the elders there an idea. “How about this? If the Core truly starts losing its power, I will compensate you somehow. I even created the system armors, perhaps I can make something similar for you in your real forms as Leviathans.”
Except for Olvris, everyone there participated in the battles against Garisan. That said, they all saw how powerful those armors made their users, especially the Leviathans that fought armor users themselves. It was definitely a dream item if one could be created to fit their enormous bodies.
Floquei finally showed a hint of a smile and nodded. “I will hold to your promise. Anyway, that’s all, you can leave now.”
“Just one second,” a voice came from behind another door.
In the next second, the door opened, and Roan entered while dragging a scared Leviathan by his tail. “It took me a few days to find this guy, but I finally caught him. Floquei, I want to bring this Leviathan away with me.”
