"Then, it should be easy right?" Asked Ailee. Kuro shook his head and laugh drily.
"I'm afraid not. You guys are new to this world, it's understandable that you dont know the full history of this world.. do you know how beast come to be?"
We shook our head.
"they are Spawn from energy. depending on the nature of energy, it will determine their spawning rate, elements, nature, skills and temperament. Some beast spawn from natural course which had been set by the gods itself. There are beast spawn by the evil ones, there are also artificially spawned by the people, and negative emotion. The rarest one, spawn by one energy and the beast soul will automatically tied with their maker." kuro drawin the ground while explaining to us in detail about beast.
"Now, these armies of fliers are categorised in artificially spawned by negative emotion. Not by people's emotion, but much worse... another ancient and fearsome beast that had gone mad: the Lakh."
"Uhm.. its not that I'm not thankful for that information but is it okay for us to be discussing it here, right now? It will come any second now." I pointed out. He shook his head.
"I put some masking scent outside and I already alerted the nearest adventures. They should come right about now"
"I am not taking any chances with what soon follow, after we kill those armies of bugs. Where ever they are, the Lakh is close by watching. You have to know that, Lakh mostly lived peacefully and oversee the desert.. making sure there are enough water for living beings around him. But mad Lakh? It Give birth to malicious beings just for the sake of raising its to be powerful and full of mana before consuming it."
"Like a gingerbread-house!" Exclaimed Ailee, her face clearly portrayed what she felt about it. Disgust and fear. A granny living in a ginger bread house, inviting kids to the house and feed them all good delicious things before eating them. A horrendous story and its worrying that there's a beast like that here and we are going to face it.
Kuro open his mouth as if he wanted to asked what is that but changed his mind and shook his head.
"Nevermind" he mumbled.
"So, I assume that it will get angry if its well-raised food got killed"
"Angry is quite an understatement of the year. More like a complete mayhem. Their madness could only perceive power as their source of living."
"And what happen when the Lakh becomes powerful enough?"
"They will destroy the world. Unless somebody stopped them" Kuro had this far away look on him and sigh.
"Lets just hope that we will never have to cross that bridge."
I nodded and thought about the only rule that I found inside the tutorial mode which is not to destroy the world. I am sure that was what the gods had said and anything that goes against what the gods says must've been an opposed faction that doesn't support the gods teaching. Though I don't really like Urie, destroying the world is a total nut job thing to do. Why wreck havoc on someone else when its not their fault? If I have a problem with that god, I'll deal with him personally. Not by hurting people around him or his creations etc.
The whole cave shook hard and I was afraid that it might collapsed on us.
"Its not safe here"
Kuro cursed.
"We cant stay here any longer. We have to go outside and face that swarm of bugs" kuro hold both of my shoulders.
"Whatever you do, stay away from Lakh. They are dangerous.. in my current condition, I'm not sure I can handle it.."
I nodded and quickly turn around to look at my children.
"Ailee.. thing going to be dangerous.." I took out something from my spatial ring and shoved it to Ailee.
"This is teleportation stone. If it gets too dangerous, Hold it while holding your sister, and think about going back to the house. Conceal the whole house. Be safe, I trust you" i touch her cheek and her eyes watered.
"I wont live you. If we die, we die together"
"Shh. Don't speak about dying so easily, my child.. you are too young to die. Please, listen to your mama. If I say, go.. then leave us and go. I will come back to find you guys later on"
"Promise?" She hold out her little pinky finger. I smiled and gave her pinky swear that we always do since she was three.
"I promise, as long as I am alive.. I'll find you guys."
She nodded and I could see she was trying her best to hold on and be brave. In reality, she was just a shy, scaredy cat little girl who should live in a safe environment.. its a sad truth that this world, exciting as it may..
It is no less dangerous. One could easily lose their life. I look up and get ready for a battle.
One that made me gulp down my fear. Sure, I am equipped with powerful skills. But I never tried to use it, Well, excectz when I fought to with Kuro the first time I saw him.
