"Hey, Lucas! Look what I've brought." Lauren ran towards Lucas who was covered with his enemy while holding the sword. When he saw the potion jar with the red blood in it, he felt little familiarity from it.
But, he didn't know what it was. He could see it was like the blood but nothing more.
"Miss Jenny, are you alright? Why did you run off on your own? If something was to happen to you, I would be in great trouble." Chris suddenly appeared in front of Jenny and started shouting at her with anxiety all over his face.
"Ehh! Why are you worried?" Jenny instantly recognized Chris but she didn't understand why the strongest person in the group got worried about her.
"Ahh! I was assigned to protect you during this raid." Chris sighed and finally revealed purpose in front of the crowd making them surprised. The strongest person on the raid was supposed to protect someone else?
"Don't worry I'm fine. We have something else to be worried about. The boss of this dungeon is a lot dangerous than we could've expected. Mike is currently fighting him." Jenny spoke with a solemn expression as she spoke. Behind her, Lauren had anxiety all over her face.
She was exactly aware of the danger that Atharos possess.
"Damn it! Why did he even rush in there? We had a plan beforehand." Chris gritted his teeth as he realized the seriousness of his words. After all, he knows just how unique Jenny could be especially relating her to David.
"I'm sorry everyone! There was something I didn't tell you. And, now that the situation is way above our control I would like to tell you all something very crucial and the reason why we must defeat the Devil God Atharos." Lauren suddenly walked in front of Chris and gave a slight bow while speaking with a serious expression.
"Devil God Atharos? I thought he was called Demon King Atharos." One of them spoke with confusion on her face.
Even Chris made a Jenny made the solemn expression because Lauren hadn't revealed everything to her. Suddenly, Lauren took a deep breath and the golden light spread out of her. The golden light gathered behind her and formed a pair of wings.
"Wow! So beautiful!" When wings appeared behind Lauren, she became incredibly beautiful in their eyes. Even though her skin didn't change, her aura was enough to make her goddess in their eyes.
"I have the blood of Angel Race which has been exterminated for a long time. Our race archenemy is Devil Race. We both are the creation of celestial. Most of you won't understand this. But, please carefully listen to what I am about to say."
"Around thirty thousand years ago, Celestials broke the law of the universe and created two races. Angel Race inherited the light attribute. They were the messenger of celestials which you can prefer as gods."
"Their another creation, Devil Race inherited the dark attribute. Unlike us, they were treated badly by the celestials because of their dark and bloody mentality. I don't want to say we were good and they were bad."
"But during that time, the universal spirit compelled the Celestial Race to use the essence known as God Slaughtering Essence to slaughter their creations. God Slaughtering Essence was the sacred weakness of celestials which was created by the first celestial."
"After that, it was impossible to create it again. They must save it as much as they can. Because celestials are undead. Unless you use that essence or use the powerful soul, you can't kill them. Even if you do, they will be resurrected even from the soul."
"And, more important every celestial train their soul from the early age of three. They must train their soul because they considered themselves as a perfect creature that has no weakness. They believe their soul as a sacred ornament that they can't put a stain on."
"Back to the main topic, just when celestials were deciding whether to comply universal spirit request or not, devil race and angel race got the news. Angel Race completely accepted their fate but the devil race didn't. So, they revolted. At that time, their head was the Devil God Atharos."
"He was at the peak of Divine World. He wanted to get the God Slaughtering Essence to slaughter the celestials and angels before celestials use that essence. So, he used a forbidden technique to contact the Dark Dimension."
"You might ask what dark dimension is. To tell you the truth, even I don't know. From the memories I inherited, the only thing that I know is the ruler of the dark dimension was someone called True Evil God. He was the source of all negative energy including devil energy, dark energy, yin energy, and many more."
"After making a certain contact with the Dark Dimension, Devil God suddenly ascended above the Divine World and reached the Void World. After that, he sneaked into the Celestials Palace. You might ask why didn't he kill them since he was above gods?"
"As I said, celestials can't be killed unless you use that essence or soul attack. So, naturally, it was impossible to kill them. Devil God, being the Void Immortal easily sneaked inside the Celestial Palace and got the God Slaughtering Essence."
"But, the ancestor of celestials still find out since he was very close to the Void Immortal Realm. Don't ask me anything about the Void World because even I don't know. The only reason why I am telling so much is that all of you are the geniuses of earth."
"If we win this battle, most of us will reach Commander Realm according to the EXP we will be getting. Then, it's King and Emperor before you can enter the Half-Saint Realm. Originally, I wasn't qualified to say this but now I can say. 'Don't aim low, try to reach Void'."
"Back to the topic, just after the ancestor find out, the war broke out. Before the ancestors could get that essence back, Atharos used the power of the Dark Dimension to store the essence inside his body without destroying himself. And, destroyed the leftover."
"In the next war, he used that essence to kill most of the celestials. Those who remained were forced to flee since none of the other races helped them. The only one who was capable of helping them was their enemy."
"But, Atharos lost all of the essences against the celestials. After that, it was a great battle between Devil Race and Angel Race since Atharos lost his Void Immortal Realm. But still, Angel Race couldn't kill Atharos. They used every way to seal Devil God Atharos."
"But doing so, they lost their lifespan. Although celestials can't die physically, they can still die by age. The same goes for Angel Race, slowly their race decreased rapidly. Because the universal spirit rejected them, they got no choice but to die."
"Angel Race had many families. And among them, the family that was the most important aspect of sealing Devil God Atharos was Green Family. I am the heir of Green Family who was successful on awakening enough talent to inherit the Angel Race bloodline."
"Unless you are directly associated with Angel Race, you need to have enough talent to inherit their bloodline as a human. I and my brothers were talented enough as all of us awakened A-Rank Talent. I came to this raid because I awakened those memories after reaching eighteen."
"As I said, Devil God Atharos was a god. He has learned many laws. Even though he can't use his powers properly, he still has the upper hand among most of us. And, if he wins, he will force me to awaken the bloodline and unseal his power."
"Then, he can spread the seed of Devil Race to grow devils. I know it isn't our job especially not all of you. But, as a part of this universe, we must fight him."
Hearing her words, the entire crowd remained silent. They needed time to process all that information. Even Jenny was having a hard time accepting all that. But suddenly, one of them spoke "If you are from the Angel Race, then doesn't that make you Angel with the Shotgun."
As he said, the entire crowd looked at her shotgun and finally tensed the situation relaxed. Lauren also made an embarrassed smile and then looked at Chris.
After taking a deep breath, Chris spoke "I'm sorry Miss Lauren but your words don't mean much to us."
Hearing his words, Lauren's expression instantly darkens along with Jenny. But Tina suddenly let out a smirk as Chris continued.
"Because we came here to defeat the boss and we won't retreat until we finish our quest. ISN'T THAT CORRECT EVERYONE?"
"Yes!!!!!" The entire crowd shouted with excitement. Only then, her expression relaxed. Lauren looked at everyone's enthusiastic face with a smile on her face. But suddenly, a figure smashed on the ground next to her.
Bang!
The impact was so great that the entire ground shook. Suddenly, Jenny's eyes open wide with was disbelief all over her face.
In front of her, Mike was smashed to the ground with his left arm torn apart. The blood was still spilling out of it.
