Chapter 913
“I know that it might be a bit rude, but can I know which country you guys live?” Apolaki asked as he is curious of why players that were not of other in-game races joined the Pandelympics.
“Is it supposed to be important?” Levin Cloud asked as he did not know why Apolaki will ask that question. They were not close or friendly, so they do not have to answer his question. ππͺπ·π³β―π’π.πΈπ°π
“Ah! I am sorry if you do not want to answer. I am just curious why I did not know the three of you. I just thought that your country would have won if you joined the Pandelympics. As far as I know, I am the only player that can reach Mahar Lika. Forget that I even asked if you are uncomfortable.” Apolaki replied as he did not want to seem antagonizing.
The group continued walking in silence as they reached a settlement. The settlement is not that different from other ancient settlements as the houses are made of wood compared to sand and lime. The people inhabiting the settlement could be split between human and demi-humans.
The demi-humans are those of the Carabao Clan and other unknown races that the three have yet to encounter. The inhabitants of the settlement could be seen bowing to Bao but are a bit wary of the three that came with Apolaki.
The three could see that the village is happy, but Levin Cloud could also feel something amiss from the land. He could feel it as the ground itself is almost close to being lifeless. The nutrients of the soil could be described as disappearing.
Bao noticed Levin Clouds expression when they entered the settlement and nodded that it made the correct decision. The Leshy and Dryad are said to be mystical beings that can replenish life even from a dying forest. It is said that they sprung forth from the dying wish of a Goddess of Life when it died.
“It seems that you can sense it as well. The task that I will give you is also related to the thing that you need.” Bao stated as they arrived at the place where the chief of the settlement lives.
“Greetings, Blessed Bao.” The Chief of the Carabao Clan stated as he bowed his head.
“No need for the formalities, Kala of the Baw Family. I bring people that will aid your current predicament.” Bao stated as he presented the three.
Kala started to weep upon seeing Kabrakan as he could feel the power of the Will of the Wilde from his body. Kala even hugged Kabrakan to which the latter responded by rubbing the old man’s back. He might be an old man, but he still stands at a height of two meters tall courtesy of being a water buffalo beastkin.
They waited for the old man to calm down before introducing themselves. Kala immediately thanked Bao for bringing the chosen of the Will of the Wilde to them. He even praised the heavens as their clan will be safe since they will once again reincarnate through the power of the divine item when they die.
“Sorry to break it to you but the Will of the Wilde is not at full power right now.” Kabrakan stated as he explained the circumstances of the divine item.
“Do not worry about that, young Kabrakan. You just being here is our hope as we have lost control of the Soil of the Wilde due to a monster. I say monster but you could say that he is of the fallen gods of Mahar Lika.” Kala stated. ππͺπ£π³β―πΆπ₯.π€ππ
The Carabao Clan has indeed been dying off as their clansmen has already lost the connection to the Will of the Wilde. All beastkin that has lost that connection will undoubtedly become smaller in number. They have mitigated the damage when the Soil of the Wilde is still in their care but that changed in ten years.
One of the entities that is supposed to be a Blessed One suddenly got corrupted by a wicked power. A being that is loving of the soil and its richness suddenly started to use it for destruction. The other gods of Mahar Lika managed to mitigate the damage by sealing off the being, but it also took away something important from the Carabao Clan.
“The corrupted being took away the Soil of the Wilde that we were guarding and also took away the blessing of the land. We, the Carabao Clan, had the ability to create great crops suddenly started to lose that. We also started to weaken and die off which should be a divine curse brought upon us since we lost the important part of the Will of the Wilde.” Kala stated.
“If the corrupted being is imprisoned then why can you not just kill it?” Peridot asked.
“The problem is that the corrupted being has divine energy and only those with divine energy can completely eradicate it. It also started to harness the power of the Soil of the Wilde. Only warriors that can take on the powers of High Gods or Supreme Gods can defeat them but you three are different. I can feel that all of you have experienced battle with a god.” Kala stated as he could feel traces of divine energy on their body.
“If you mean God Killers then we are not them as the god killing weapons belong to other people. Also, we only aided the people when a dark god descended. The one who really killed the dark god is somewhere else. Probably dimension hopping or something.” Levin Cloud stated which the two nodded vehemently to agree.
“Maybe we should call him if this corrupted being is tainted by the power of a dark god. Equinox himself is the bane of the dark gods.” Peridot stated.
“He cannot get in here though as only we have the means of entry. Also, he is busy since he is not able to chat.” Kabrakan added.
