Ch 56: Resting

(Warning: this chapter may contain explicit scenes.)

Diablo, Benimaru, Shuna and the rulers had agreed to talk to the man named Roy.

Diablo made a table with chairs for everyone to come up and they all sat down.

"Explain." Benimaru said impatiently and Roy started talking.

They talked for a while and Roy answered all the questions truthfully.

The men Roy killed were soldiers from the Losukie nation. Losukie was a Theocratic nation whose main religion was called the "Divine Fragment". The main belief of this religion was that the Losukie God had died and his soul was inherited by mankind. This religion also took all races as enemies and used everything at its disposal to exterminate or enslave them.

Losukie held 90% of the territory of the other continent, which was called the "Shield Continent". The country was ruled by eight humans named "Celestials". The religion believes that these eight were the ones who received a bigger piece of God's soul and therefore became rulers. Roy did not know much about the rulers, but stories said that they were immortal and super-powerful. Of course, nothing was confirmed.

In the country of Losukie, monsters and demi-humans were all enslaved or killed. This country grew stronger by dominating other countries around it and today, besides powerful soldiers, it had advanced technology.

Just as Roy said before, he was a member of the "Resistance". The Resistance, as its name implies, is the last country to resist Losukie's invasions and occupied the other 10% of the continent. This nation was made up of free monsters and demi-humans and was located in the extreme southeast of the continent. About 1% of the population of this country were humans seeking to coexist with non-humans, and most of these people infiltrated Losukie to gather information and the like, Roy was one of these people.

The resistance forces were far inferior to the Losukie theocracy, but there was a reason why they could not invade. In the north and west of the territory belonging to the resistance, there was a mountain range that made it impossible for an army to pass. While in the south and east there was a sea full of dangerous monsters.

The mountain range was extremely high, so the only way to cross it was through tunnels and caves. There were so many interconnected tunnels and caves that it could be considered a labyrinth. If that were all, it would be possible to get through with an army, but these tunnels contained a large amount of powerful monsters, so an exerxiteer would suffer heavy losses, or not get through at all. It was a natural defense for the resistance.

Losukie tried to go over the mountains once. They used dictigibles and sent only their elite soldiers, but even this was not possible. For something stopped it, the one who rules the mountains.

"I saw him that day. A gigantic dragon with yellow scales. Just looking at him felt as if my heart would come out of my mouth. That overwhelming, calamitous pressure..." Roy shuddered as he spoke. "It only took one breath, his breath was as bright as the sun itself and melted the airships as if they were nothing. Not even the Losukie elite were able to face him. After we discovered its existence we began to call it: Yellow Dragon."

From what Roy explained, the "Yellow Dragon" did not like anyone crossing the skies near his domain and would annihilate anyone who did. Not much else is known about him.

Since the Losukie nation could not attack the resistance, they decided to look for new lands to conquer. They created a new technology to search for new lands. At first they discovered only islands, but then they discovered the continent that Tempest is on. Then they also detected El Dorado and the Polar Continent.
