At the height of humanity's clash with the Cursed Species, humans had reached the pinnacle of their research. They managed to develop an artifact that could kill a Cursed Species at that time. Humans call the artifact the Cursed Grail.
The impact given by the Cursed Grail was very influential on the war. Because without the use of artifacts, humans wouldn't be able to go one on one with the Cursed Species. But with the artifact, humans could kill many Cursed Creatures at once, as the weapon increased the wielder's strength.
And what was unique about the Cursed Grail was its effect on the Cursed Species. If the weapon managed to injure the Cursed Species, their regeneration and healing abilities would not heal the wound inflicted by the Cursed Grail. It was really a disadvantage for the Cursed Species as they would become common creatures when faced with the Cursed Grail.
Although proven to be effective against Cursed Species, the Cursed Grail can only be used by special people and have undergone special training to use it. And at that time, the number who could use it could be counted on the fingers because at least the number of Cursed Grails had been developed.
Although the numbers are few humans, have an advantage which is the main key in the war. Namely, humans have a much larger population than the population of the Cursed Species. Although humans were often killed by Cursed Species, the Population of Cursed Species was only 1:1000 compared to the human population.
Even though they had lost at the beginning of the war, with such a large population difference and the Cursed Grail could work effectively, humans managed to win the war in just one attack.
Humans managed to bring the Cursed Creature to its knees because, in that attack, humans managed to wipe out more than 90% of the Cursed Creature's population.
With that great victory, the humans had deemed them extinct and made them a legend because of their weakness which was difficult to breed. Even if they managed to survive, it might take them hundreds of years to start the war with humans again.
But the Cursed Species couldn't do that because, by the time they were ready, the human population would be much larger and, of course, have many great fighters.
Although it can be attacked again, humans never worry about the threat. Because in reality, after hundreds of years of war between Humans and the Cursed Species ended, their existence had disappeared and was never seen again, as if they had acknowledged their defeat and isolated themselves.
All the children knew about the legends and how the humans fiercely fought the Cursed Species to take over the world. And when they grow up and have children, they will also tell the history to their children. And unconsciously, it has become a hereditary culture carried out hundreds of years ago.
And the girl who is now cleaning the blood on her feet also knows about the legendary story. Because she believed in that story, it made the girl not believe anything about magic being done by humans. And sure that the warm water came from something.
She believed that the Young Master was a human, and of course, he couldn't possibly use the power of the legend.
'Haah, my efforts were in vain.' Alicia could only sigh and grumble after her attempts to talk to the Young Master were unsuccessful. She got only the new pain and wounds because of her stupid actions to make the quiet man answer her questions.
She thought of leaving the room as soon as she finished cleaning the blood on her leg. There was no point in her lingering there. She didn't get anything other than feeling the inner pressure that could disturb her mentally.
"...I'll return your towel after I wash it." With the help of the small table, Alicia stood up and limped towards the door.
After all the things he had done in Young Master's room were over, she hoped to leave without a problem and not anger Young Master. Right now, she just wanted to leave the room.
But again, that hope was crushed by reality. Before she reached the door, the Young Master immediately rebuked her in a slightly high pitched tone as if there was a task that had not been completed by her.
"Who let you go?" He snapped at Alicia a little without looking at her.
Alicia flinched slightly and immediately stopped her steps. She was a little scared while trying to remember what mistake she had made to make Young Master reprimand her?
She doesn't know why he reprimanded her, even though she still remembers that it was Young Master who asked her to leave his room. Did he forget?
