Chapter 121 - The Statue And An Important Discussion

Rex left the house and walked towards the place where the rest of the women were weeping.

They were expressing their pain and sorrow for the ones they lost.

Rex quietly observed all this while accumulating pain in the heart. For a moment he thought them as his own citizens.

He then looked towards the sky and wondered, 'If... if only I had arrived sooner...'

It seemed as if he was blaming himself but what he was blaming was actually nonsensical.

He couldn't possibly go on saving each and everyone on the entire world could he now?

Also, if he were trying to do something like that, it would essentially mean that he was going against the laws of nature.

But right now nothing mattered to him. All he could do was feel remorse after looking at them weep.

He just walked a few steps towards the centre area of the village when suddenly he felt someone pulling his shirt from behind.

He slowly turned his head only to find Alia standing behind him.

"Yes... is something the matter?", Rex asked to Alia.

Alia just lowered her head instead of answering. Rex too waiting for a while to see what she had to say.

"Please..."

After waiting for 1-2 minutes, Alia finally spoke.

"Yes?"

"Please don't think that you failed to save us.", was what Alia said.

Rex was shocked to find out that the girl said the same thing about which he was feeling sad.

For a second he thought that she had some psychic power that could read someone else's mind and he was about to ask that when suddenly she said something else too.

"I don't have any mind reading power, it's just that everything is written on your face and is known from your expression...", Alia said.

"Ah? Is it now?", Rex asked while sighing.

"Yes", Alia nodded her head and replied.

It was true indeed, from the start Rex was trying to hide his emotions properly but he failed to do that right now.

It was probably because this was the first time when he had seen someone cry after losing their dear ones.

Earlier when his entire citizens and family had been massacred, he cried a lot because of which he knew the pain which was still present and would always prick him like a thorn in his heart.

So he could understand them and probably that was why his expressions and reactions were easy to read and understand.

"Haha, alright...", Rex just laughed a bit.

Alia too smiled and said, "Come, I'll show you around the village..."

Rex nodded his head and started following Alia who was showing the various houses and various small shops that were present.

Basically after taking a look at all those things Rex concluded that this was no village because it was not different that a country or a nation!

Thus it could be easily entitled as the 'Smallest Kingdom' of the continent or preferably 'The Smallest Kingdom' of the world!

Rex took a look at various other things that the females had successfully made such as the farms and others Smithy etc.

"Nice... these all are...", he was complimenting when suddenly he paused.

He was shocked at what he was looking at.

"That's...", his eyes were wide opened as he just stared at the thing that was right in front of him.

"Ah, that is the statue of the great hero whom we worship...", was what Alia said.

"...", Rex was at a loss of words.

He was literally looking at his own statue from the game. The statue was too similar to Chronos which was actually his character.

It had the same sword that he always used in his hand with a crown on the head.

The crown had many jewels too. He was completely confused and baffled because he was literally being worshipped!

He wasn't some god and by worshipping him they wouldn't have got anything but probably that benefitted Rex.

He wondered, 'Was it because of their prayers that I was able to reincarnate here!?'

He didn't know yet for what purpose he had been called into this world yet again.

It could have been a possibility which he couldn't ignore and that was why he started to think deeply with at most concentration which was broken by Alia in a span of 1 minute.

"Actually it was asked to be crafted by my great great great grandma, Madam Alisha...", Alia smiled and said that.

"Huh?"

Rex was completely surprised when he heard that name. He had specifically come to als about Alisha as he had a lot of memories with her.

And right now he not only got to know about her but also met her great great great grandchild!

'This is crazy...', he thought.

But then again when he looked at the statue, he could literally feel Alisha inside it.

It seemed as if he could feel the warmth that Alisha had put into it and the love and care which others gave in making it.

Even though it was made of red crystal rock, it had the value that surpassed gold.

"Haha, looks like she indeed remembered me always..."

For some reason he felt down. He had literally forgotten about her a bit.

After all who would remember an NPC. When Rex was playing the game, there were many NPCs with whom he met and he couldn't possibly remember each and every one of them.

It was a great thing in itself that he remember Alisha who was just another NPC.

'No, she was no normal NPC...', was what he said to himself in his mind.

Without a doubt that was correct as no normal NPC could actually be remembered by someone for so long!

While Rex was being teary and was happy, Alia was confused with the words that Rex said.

'Remembered? Why does sir saviour sound like he knew Alisha Great great great grandma?', Alia asked herself.

Rex then wiped a bit of tear which had started to flow and then said, "Thanks for the time Alia, please call the others out to the central square, I want to discuss something."

Alia nodded her head after hearing that and then immediately dashed while saying, "I'll see you later then..."

After saying this he walked back towards the place where others had gathered as he wanted to tell about something.

MEANWHILE...

'BAM'

'BOOM'

'BAAAM'

"Tsk, your quite agile!", Bandis said.

'BAM'

'What's happening!? Who the heck is he?", am unknown person who was wearing a cloak and hiding himself was now running away from Bandis.

It seemed as if Rex had sensed him long ago and knew that he was hiding all along.

That was why he asked Bandis to take care of it. It was not because he couldn't do it at his current condition, it was because he had some work to do and tell the women many things because of which he asked Bandis to handle him.

"INFERNO!"

A huge fire tornado like flames appeared right in front of the area to which the person was running to while jumping from one branch to another like a monkey.

"Argh!!!"

The person screamed as he was about to get burnt.

"PROTECTION!!!", he chanted and suddenly a barrier appeared which covered him entirely.

It was like that of a hollow sphere inside which the person was present.

"FIRE BARRAGE!"

Bandis shouted and then dashed towards him with a lot of fire spheres in his hands.

Each finger was practically forming one fire sphere and the destructive power of the spell was definyju twice that of Inferno!

'I need to escape... I need to escape somehow and let them know about this!', the person seemed quite nervous and terrified.

'How can someone like them be here?'

'It's impossible... and someone who could use a Grand Tier healing magic... that's completely unknown of!!!'

The person ran as fast as he could but Bandis didn't have any plans to let him escape.

The man successfully passed through the inferno and was about to go inside a Portal type of thing that had been formed in the mid air but that was noticed by Bandis.

"What to escape?"

"Teleportation!!!"

Bandis immediately vanished from the place where he was earlier and appeared exactly in front of the Portal.

He was basically blocking the route for the person so that he couldn't escape.

"Haaa!!? How the fuck did he get there?", the person was surprised yet again.

He had seen Zor too vanishing earlier and without a doubt Bandis to did the same thing.

"Can't be... it cant be! Teleportation!? The legendary spell?"

"How the fuck are you all able to cast such high level magic?"

"It's not even possible with the help of devil stones!!!", the man shouted.

"Huh? Devil stones?", Bandis was shocked when he heard that but more than being shocked, he was confused.

It was practically the first time he has heard something called as devil stones.

"Damn, it doesn't matter, I need to use one of the items which I received from Master...", the person said.

Bandis didn't care for what the person was said and just flashed his right palm to him as if he was going to attack.

"SWAP STONE! Swap me and the person in front of me!!!", the person yelled.

Just as he did that, Bandis was suddenly in the place where the person was earlier and the person was now in Bandis' place.

Basically their positions had been swapped or switched. It was somewhat like Teleportation but not as good as that.

The swap stone would only work when a person wants to be swapped with something so obviously that should be within the range of his sight. If the separation is too far and the body to be swapped with is not seen then it is futile!

Also, the stone could be used for a maximum of 3 times but it also depends on distance.

It could even end up breaking while being used only once if a lot of pressure is placed on it or if the distance is too huge!

"No!", Bandis was falling towards the ground as he saw the person enter the Portal.

The Portal was slowly closing and just befor it completely closed, Bandis fires a show.

"Meteorite impact!", he shouted.

Suddenly some fire orbs formed in the air and shouted down like that of meteors which entered the Portal.

'BAM'

Bandis ended up falling on the ground as he didn't know how to fly.

"Argh that hurt... but I'm afraid that Master will be even more hurt when he finds out that I failed to capture him!"

But right now he had no more choice other than returning back to the place where Rex was and reporting him about this.
