Chapter 169 Why We Fight 3

After their assault, Lars lost his Astral form and fell to the ground exhausted. Luckily a nearby antlion had its flesh opened. Thus the adopted son of Krich crawled to it, took a large bite, and chewed. Numerous other Antlions approached him while numerous scorpions rejoined the fray.

Upon the healing of his wounds, Lars picked up his swords and prepared to move once more. Inwardly he told himself. 'Thank you guys, until I figure out what happened I will live a life so meaningful it would be enough for all of us. Watch over me. I will let the continent know how powerful we are.'

After a couple of seconds, Lars quickly sliced a few bits of Antlion meat and stored them in his pockets. Part of the reason why battle suits were so expensive was that they had mini arrays on the pockets. A typical battle suit had ten, four on the pants and six on the coat.

Each pocket could house a one-meter cube of space, allowing for the quick storage of weapons, curatives, and food. This was how the San-Baka could operate without any luggage.

Lars and the Spirit apparitions of dagger 53 effectively terminated a fourth of the entire monster invasion. Restocked and renewed by the forgiveness and will of his former class, Larua charged towards the other sides to assist.

--------------------

On the other side of the caravan, Fulgeo Renacida watched as thousands of Hercules Antlions and over forty Five-tailed Terror Scorpions tried to chase after the carriages. The bulk of the numbers were at the flanks while the strongest monsters were at the front and back.

Geo had no idea how Aurum would manage to clear a path, but he believed in the man. Despite coming from a different world Atsukiko Kohei trusted Aurum Standar the most. The blond warrior will not break any of his promises, no matter how small.

Geo's first life as Atsukiko Kohei could be considered an abject life. His family had enough money that he didn't need to work. But of course, society looked down on people like him. Which for all meanings and purposes is what people would call a N.E.E.T or Not In Employment, Education or Training basically bums.

One day he suddenly got teleported when a magic circle lit up on the floor. When he arrived he was with over a hundred people of various ethnicities and genders from earth. For some reason, all of them could understand each other regardless of language barriers.

A priest then told them a single command. "Defeat the demon lord and save this world. We will give you all you that you may desire after he is defeated." that marked the beginning of Geo's life as a transmigrator.

Suffice to say the ones who summoned them were not as clear nor pristine as they led the other transmigrators to believe. Numerous things happened and eventually, Kohei died in trying to save his friends.

After an unknown period, Geo found himself inhabiting the body of a young boy named Fulgeo Renacida. His family the Renacida was the most powerful war family in terms of individual combat ability. Kohei, who remembered his past life choose to keep a low profile due to how he died in the last one.

The Renacida were not the richest of families, but they were not the poorest either. Their father Fortis Renacida is what you would consider a headstrong individual; he was passionate to a fault.

As the man disliked dwelling in politics due to finding it boring, Fortis normally didn't attend noble gatherings. This all changed when he married Aspida Renacida. She was beautiful and intelligent with an intense dominating personality.

She heard of the powerful Fortis and wanted to domesticate him. Rather than get a duke or count's pitiful weaklings married to her, Aspida found the strongest warrior bachelor she could find and challenged him to a duel.

It could be said to be a match made in heaven. Fortis' overwhelming power was given direction by the meticulous Aspida. Their love gave rise to three extremely talented sons.

Caesar, who everyone thought would be the next emperor.

The one who can beat an entire legion single-handedly, Elbard.

and Ard an unstoppable force of nature.

All three of them had great power and raked in achievement after achievement. Only Caesar showed some promise in the political realm but like his father, he got bored and left.

In one battle Fortis got injured and needed to heal, however as the battle had yet to end Aspida stayed behind. After weeks of extreme loneliness, Fortis mistook one of the maids for his wife and took her to his bed.

The maid's name was Sanita; she would eventually conceive and give birth to Fulgeo. This news rocked the Renacida. When Aspida came home she almost killed Fortis in grief. But as the child had no fault so she reluctantly allowed Fortis to take Sanita as his concubine.

And thus began the life of Fulgeo Renacida a child born out of a mistake, one that the world never allowed him to forget. Sanita loved her Fulgeo very much. However, due to being bullied by the other nobility her son distanced himself from her and chased after Aspida's praise and recognition.

Yet, the child found he could not compete with his brothers. In terms of Aura capacity, battle senses, and combat prowess he was lacking in every regard. Having only half of the blood of nobility severely limited him. What he did have was mana. Although a pitiful amount of it.

In his depression, the youngest Renacida could no longer bear it and stabbed himself in the neck and died. Kohei entered into the picture after Fulgeo committed suicide, inheriting his memories and body.

Curiously enough, when the reincarnator woke up in the young child's body, the wounds all healed up and the blood disappeared. Thereby eliminating all evidence that he died.

As Kohei grew up with parents who were hardly around, having a parent that actually cared for him made the Japanese reincarnator very happy. Contrastingly to the original Fulgeo, Kohei loved Sanita very much despite her origins.

While more mature than the original; Even though Geo tried to make the best of his circumstances it would be extremely difficult to overturn fate. Thus he decided to leave and seek his fortune elsewhere.

Fast ward in the future and he eventually reunited with his only good friend Aurum Standar. They then decided to travel together. When Don Carlo sent an assassin for Aurum's head it was only due to Fulgeo being present that Lars failed.

Eventually, they succeed in getting Lars to abandon his mission, and Aurum hired him as his butler and bodyguard, from then on the three hardly separated.

"Tsk, mobs aren't my specialty. If my brothers were here, Ard would simply burn them all, while Elbard would break them all one by one. Now that I think about it Elbard would definitely find a kindred spirit in Master."

As Geo alternated between Mana and Aura skills, even though there were thousands they couldn't even touch him. The problem was he couldn't get their attention. They started to march past him while around five hundred Antlions kept him busy.

"Shit, good thing I told everyone to kill the moles otherwise they would have tunneled instead."

Due to [Butcher] and the buffs, even though Geo has been executing skills none stop, he didn't feel tired and had little in the way of injuries. But his felt like a small stone standing up to the ocean. Insignificant, with his efforts amounting to nothing.
