Asil slowly approached, and the silhouette of the person in his view became more and more clear. This human silhouette belonged to someone completely dressed in black. This person's hooded robe was so wide and large that it was impossible to tell who this person was or what its gender was. This person's robes fluttering in the wind created an image that made the already lonely cliff edge even more lonely.
"Ehm! Ehm!" As Asil got a little closer, he coughed twice to make his presence known, and waited for a reaction from the person a few meters ahead. However, the robed person did not react and pretended not to notice Asil.
It was really frustrating when the other person ignored him. But he took a few more steps, not caring about it. He coughed again and waited for the other person's reaction once more.
This time it was what he expected, and the person wearing the black robe said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Although Asil was surprised by the voice he heard, he quickly suppressed his surprise. He went to the person in black and sat on the edge of the cliff: "I didn't expect to see you here either, Goddess of the Night."
After saying the name 'Goddess of the Night', Asil laughed lightly and looked down the abyss. After a brief silence, the person in black asked: "What makes you think I am the Goddess of the Night?"
"Hmm..." Asil thought for a moment. "The only reason I'm thinking about it is actually because I see you here. The fact that you are here now most likely means that you are a member of the Rezuba Battle School. On top of that, given the place where we met before, we can assume that you left school for some reason. Now that you're here, it looks like that reason has disappeared. Am I right, Nyks?"
Sitting on the edge of the cliff was Nyks Vesta, the stepdaughter of the Vesta Family who had suddenly risen in the Black Dragon City. Asil and she weren't very close, and the time they spent together was no more than a day. However, as soon as he heard her voice, Asil realized that it was Nyks sitting on the edge of the cliff, and thought that she was the Goddess of the Night who held the number one spot in the Rezuba Battle School's Outer School Indoor Arena Rankings.
Nyks was silent for a moment, then changed the subject while ignoring Asil's question. "Why did one of those who entered the Rezuba Battle School this year come to a place like this? I don't think you found this place by chance."
Asil remained silent. Nyks squinted her cold eyes slightly and looked down the abyss: "Many people don't know this, but this abyss is called 'Ysoi's First Work Of Art'. They chose a rather strange name for a cliff, didn't they?"
Aslan asked in a surprised way: "Ysoi's First Work Of Art? It's really quite a strange name indeed for a cliff. Do you know why they chose that name?"
"Have you ever heard of the name Order God Ysoi?" Nyks indifferently asked and waited a few seconds for a positive response from Asil, when there was no answer, she continued: "I wouldn't normally tell you this, but I feel a little indebted to you for getting me here. You did a great help by doing something I couldn't, so I'm going to tell you what I know about this abyss. After that, I'll admit that we have no debt left between us:" Nyks closed her eyes and her voice grew colder than usual: "Thousands of years ago there was a clan called the Fraude Clan, and it was a fairly small formation of only a hundred people. However, despite their low population, they were feared throughout the universe. The reason for this was a single female member of the Fraude Clan named Ysoi..."
"Is it because of one person?" He asked without thinking. He didn't know if the story Nyks was telling was true, but it was scary to think that because of one person, the entire universe was afraid of a clan of only a hundred people. If such a thing really existed, what exactly was the strength of a person named Ysoi?
A question suddenly appeared in Asil's mind, and he asked to find out the answer: "What exactly does the Order God mean? Is she called God because her power is unbelievable?"
The universe was vast, and Asil, with his current power, naturally did not know the concepts found in the entire universe, but still, according to him, God was an omnipotent being, and it was absurd that there should be more than one such being in the universe. Therefore, when Nyks referred to the person named Ysoi as a 'God', Asil found it strange.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to this question..." Nyks simply replied, then continued: "There are many legends about Ysoi. Some say she is the God of this universe, while others say she is just a figment of imagination. But from what I learned from my father, Ysoi was a real person. And the reason why she was so feared was not her profound strength, but the paintings she drew..."
"Paintings? How so?" Asil overlooked Nyks' mention of his father, as he focused on the concept of 'Paintings'.
Nyks was silent for a moment, remembering what her father had said to her, and then told Asil what she knew about Ysoi:
"From what I've learned, Ysoi was also known as the Divine Painter, and even the simplest of paintings she drew had features that were too mind blowing for normal people to grasp. This is exactly why the entire universe feared the Fraude Clan. For example, the abyss we are standing on now was Ysoi's first painting, and after she finished this painting, this abyss suddenly appeared. That's why they called this abyss the Ysoi's First Work Of Art." Nyks stood up slowly.
"Since I've said this, there is no longer any debt between us. If you don't have anything to say, I have to go now."
Asil opened his mouth to speak, but just when he was about to say what he really wanted to say, he gave up. He was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Will you come back here again?"
Nyks, without looking at him, emotionlessly replied: "This may sound strange to you, but every time I come here I feel a sense of longing that I cannot describe. And I come here often for the purpose of grasping this feeling. So if nothing goes wrong, I'll come here in the future."
After speaking, Nyks did not wait for Asil's reply and left. After she left, Asil sat on the edge of the cliff for a while, watching as the light wind gently licked his face, and then stood up and walked towards the indoor arenas of the Outer School. To do the things he was aiming for, he had to go into the interior of the Rezuba Battle School. For that, he had to first win fights in indoor arenas, level up his emblem, and qualify to take the exam required to exit the Outer School and enter the Inner School....
