Chapter 1685 The Truth of the Past 2
Chapter 1685 The Truth of the Past 2
I had nothing to lose. I had made up my mind.
But then,
She appeared.
Vulpheon Chronoxis.
At first, I dismissed her just like I did all others, she wasn't the first one who tried to talk sense into me, the Progenitors tried it as well, if even people who had spent thousands of years together with me failed, how could a woman I was meeting for the first time succeed?
However, the woman offered something I couldn't reject.
'I can bring back their bodies.'
The moment she said those words, I froze.
She didn't stop there, she continued,
'You know at what lengths they will go to just to get on your nerves, don't you? You know what they could do to their bodies, correct?
It is a War, not a single one of them would think about respecting the dead or whatever, not when the two of them pretty much destroyed their worlds.
They would use their bodies as much as they could, it wouldn't be shocking if they created some sort of sick weapon using them.
Do you want that to happen?
Do you want your wives to not be able to rest, even in their deaths?'
I couldn't come up with a way to counter her words, even if I was consumed by my anger, I couldn't let that happen to them.
'What do you want?'
I questioned.
And it was then that woman revealed her story to me.
Yrniel wasn't the only World Orynthar was after. A Middle-Level World, Chronoxis, was under the threat of extinction as well.
However, unlike us, Chronoxis wasn't strong enough to resist a High Level World, despite the enemies sending only a small part of their forces since most of their focus was on us, Chronoxis still couldn't hold on.
The People of Chronoxis were excellent users of Powers that involved Space and Time, however, despite their power being strong, it didn't give them any advantage in direct battles, yes, their powers were great and could be used in many ways, it was also the reason why Orynthar was after them in the first place, the Power over Space and Time was extremely rare and not many could master it. Orynthar wanted that power for themselves.
It would have been one thing if they wanted to simply take over the people of Chronoxis and use their powers, however, they wanted complete destruction.
They wanted to get their hands of the Fox Progenitor, take their Blood and create a new Progenitor that was connected to their own world while getting rid of Chronoxis, the source of their power so that others couldn't replicate what they did.
People of Chronoxis had no way out.
Facing a High-Level World, that too, when their power isn't specialized for direct battles, it was simply impossible.
Therefore, Vulpheon came to me.
She wanted me to save her children in exchange for my wives' bodies.
Of course, I was sceptical at first, how could a Progenitor, who couldn't even protect her people, bring back their bodies, and that too in one piece? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
But I had underestimated the woman's resolve, after I gave her my word that I would save her children, she activated her powers, this time, instead of energy, she used her Life Force.
She was the Progenitor of a race that specialized in Time and Space, obviously, her Powers were much stronger than her people,
What if an existence like her uses her life force to activate her powers?
It was a straight-up miracle.
Within a matter of seconds, her Powers pierced through the natural defences of a High-Level World, then, it got through the barriers that countless powerhouses of Orynthar had created together and reached the area with the tightest security,
The next instant, her power surrounded your mothers' bodies and they appeared right next to me.
My heart raced when I saw the two bodies in front of me, I turned towards Vulpheon, however, by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
The woman had already used all her Life Force, she couldn't live any longer.
Before dying, she only told me one thing.
'Keep your promise.'
That was all the woman wanted, even till the end, she wanted to protect her children. It was as if her own death didn't scare her one bit.
When I realized it, something in me changed.
In an instant, I glanced at my wives dead bodies and I started questioning,
'Were they the same…?'
'Were they not scared of their deaths either…?'
'Were they… more worried about their children instead…?'
'Were they more worried about their… only daughter?'
And the instant I thought of that question, my mind cleared up.
I, who was consumed by my rage, was finally able to calm down, erasing all of the suicidal thoughts from my mind.
I couldn't die,
I couldn't leave my daughter alone.
I buried your mothers' and Vulpheon's bodies, took the Foxkins in, and continued to get strong, until finally, I was strong enough to destroy the enemies and end this once and for all.
Even when I look back today,
The day Vulpheon appeared in front of me, that woman not only brought back your mothers' bodies to where they belonged, she also saved me, the entirety of Yrniel, and… you."
Azriel spoke as he placed his hand on Aeliana's head with a warm smile on his face.
"She is a woman I am deeply indebted to."
Azriel then turned towards Nux and,
"Do you truly think that I would use that woman's children as tools to strengthen my own people?"
"…"
Nux was silent.
He couldn't say anything, not after hearing the entire story.
No matter how many secrets this man had, Nux, who knew how much he cared about the people around him, how much he cared about his daughter, knew that he would never hurt children of a woman who practically saved him and his daughter.
Azriel wasn't a man like that.
Something was wrong…
Either Azriel didn't know the entire story…
Or…
Faelara Dawnshade lied to him.
