Chapter 17 - Forbidden Corruption Flames

"I understand that you have your own problems, but that didn't seem the answer I'm looking for, you've yet to answer my question."

Kent said back in his cold indifferent tone.

Hearing this Aisha bit her lip to the point of it to almost bleed, due to the earlier smooth interaction they had with each other she forgot the person's true attitude.

Shaking her head and with a bitter smile, she continued. "Origin Soul Essence is like that of a protective control center, just like the word origin/originated, and soul, an area where one's soul is in. Soul is the very ego of an individual, the representation of one's existence. This soul that is protected by a tick, almost unbreakable barrier that shielded the soul from any outside interference."

She paused, inhaling deeply and exhaling before continuing.

"Origin Essence on the other had is something akin to that of a leftover left behind after an individual die's. One's a person dies, their soul or ego to be precise will leave their body for the afterlife to be judged before having the chance of being reincarnated. As the energy of the deceased couldn't accompany the ego to the afterlife, this is what origin essence is, the leftovers."

"It is said that countless forgotten years ago origin essence before cannot be used in any way, resulting for the leftover energy to just dispersed everywhere vanishing into existence."

"However, thanks to the existence of the Prime Limitless Order, such wasted energy was put into use. Whether a passerby lucky enough stumbled upon such energy that was left by a deceased and absorb it for themselves or a fight where the victor absorbs the leftover energy as a reward. Both scenarios are thanks to the mysterious existence that wondered all-around in the universe called Prime Limitless Order."

"Just as the unknown saying said, when it comes blessing misfortune awaits, or the opposite, when it comes misfortune blessing awaits. This is the true nature of Prime Limitless Order, a somewhat random, unknown existence that granted both misfortune and blessings to the inhabitants of worlds it passed through. Pushing such lands inhabitants to choice deciding for themselves whether they'll fall or rise."

"For each galaxy the Prime Limitless Order passes through, a sure chaos brought by an apocalyptic evolution would be sure to descend."

Ending her words, Aisha's expression turned complicated, memories of her previous peaceful world surface in her mind before vanishing a second later.

Listening to Aisha's, words that answered most of his questions and with some additional extra spicy information that seemed more like an enlightenment made Kanzen realized something.

He has been to lax all this time on the things that's going on, he even forgot a crucial fact that is his family and friends.

This realization is like a cold bucket of water been splash at him, just from this through Kanzen knew that he really had changed in both a positive and negative way.

But what could've he do, he has been trapped in a world of chaos and slaughter for about 1,500 years, the fact that he didn't turn mad after slaughtering billions of existence is already unreasonable enough.

The current him became like that of a battle maniac that couldn't live without the stimulation of combat to excite him.

This after effect reached the point where Kanzen subconsciously put aside his family as nothing but a secondary priority, his own subconscious prioritizing his entertainment and fulfillment ignoring other things.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Kanzen's expression turned a bit complicated, he could only shrug his shoulder and lament.

'I really did return, but am I really the same…'

He looked back at Aisha's majestic figure that has the same complicated expression as him.

"Thanks for that…"

Kanzen thank her after letting out a deep sigh.

'What a strange person…'

Aisha thought, still unable to understand the thoughts running through the man's head.

He shifted his attention back to the dozen mana corrupted zombies corpses.

He could see bright small pillars of light dazzling brightly amidst the somewhat dark, eerie atmosphere.

"Hey, miss guide, can you give me another advice, about those glowing pillars."?

WAA!

"Your luck seemed to be good."

Aisha said joyfully, her complicated expression vanished, as she looked at the glowing pillars with a sparkling eyes.

"Quickly, quickly grab those stuff."

She pushed Kanzen towards the glowing pillars.

Seeing Aisha back to her cheerful side, Kanzen didn't resist and let her pushed her.

Kent reached out to a single copper colored pillar, two silvers and one gold color glowing pillar.

"Copper color pillar will grant you common rewards, silver color pillar will grant you uncommon rewards, and gold color pillar will grant you rare rewards."

Aisha explained.

"Then what about that multicolor spherical orb?"

Kanzen asked.

"That, that's a random skill reward." She blurted out loud, showing that she's clearly overjoyed for some reason.

'A skill, huh? So, it's a precious power just like these three fellas staying ideal in my status screen info.'

Kanzen thought.
