Chapter 1234: Explaining Everything (2)



"You're... you're actually serious," Silrat said as the biscuit he had been chewing slipped from his fingers, a dumbfounded look appearing on his face. He had settled comfortably into his cushion while listening to Replicus' narration, but now, he sat bolt upright.

"Yeah. I'm serious. I don't look it, but I was an undead minion at one point. A miner," the Progeny said.

Theurien barely managed to sip the fresh, cool beverage in his glass, an odd smile on his face.

He pressed his temples.

A series of questions and emotions burst forth from his mind, threatening to overwhelm his mental faculties, but right then, a cool, calming sensation floated through him. The glittery bits falling from the wings of the giant butterfly they were riding, caused all his tension to wash away.

He and Silrat sighed and they once again pressed against their cushions.

Silrat rubbed his chin vigorously. He had no words.

Of the people here, apart from Elita - who hadn't shown any reaction to the revelation by Replicus just now - he had known Skullius the longest. As a Discount Human, Silrat had always found Skullius odd.

He was odd looking.

He had odd catchphrases.

He had odd companions in Red Rage and Ferex.

But the former Guild Association Head had always chalked this collection of oddities up to quirks of those who were talented.

And indeed, Silrat had believed that Skullius was simply a talented Mage back then when he made a Tie of Exchange with him. Tulnas, the Tamer from Inhone City, leader of the Harem Guild, had also noted how 'talented' Skullius was and ignored how weird his speech patterns - and also his face - was.

Silrat had then spent much of his time with the Discount Human, the two allying themselves with Stylla Bryne who wanted Skullius to participate in the Premium Age Royale in order to find a way to save her father, Theurien, who had been cursed.

Never in the months they grew to be partners, and then friends - after Skullius got rid of the UNCoddled curse - did Silrat ever imagine that he was pals with a former undead minion.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On Aigas, because of the days before Jiggorrhax repaired the Rules, when many undead roamed the land, pillaging and destroying, Undeath was not seen favourably. Skullius had learned of this first hand in the Tremur Forest.

Theurien gave a deep sigh.

"Maybe... maybe my mind simply can't wrap my mind around this," he said. "You were under an Arch-Lich and you managed to escape?"

"That's right," Replicus confirmed with a sigh. He knew he had to be patient with these two and explain every detail little by little.

women did was all over it. I had to get rid of all the bodies at the entrance and scrub it clean, otherwise it didn't really feel like a place I could stay in."

Replicus understood how she felt.

When he first entered the Temple months ago, the sight that greeted him in what was called the Slurred Grounds, was a mockery to all things male. Even if he had only been a fake human

back then, he had felt sick looking at it.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.406).

The Progeny continued his long tale.

For now, he didn't bother to explain what Null Life was and only put an emphasis on his ability to acquire a human form for 24 hours. He felt it would be too heavy of a concept to deal normal people along with all the narration.

Replicus didn't explain much to do with his activities in Genhuis City as Silrat would have known and told Theurien all about the important bits. He did however, explain how he had intended to get help from the Purity to get rid of his UNCoddled curse. He explained how he had been given a mission by a Priest to go to Evic where he met Kenno - whom Theurien knew from when he was sent to the Bryne Estate by Replicus - and his gang, defeated them and

recruited them.

After this, he then explained what might have been his favourite moment of all.

"Because Yuyui managed to steal the Brilliant Dent - sorry, the pouch - from the Grand

Priest, I was able to use the Divine energy stored in one of the artefacts it held to get rid of my UNCoddled curse," the Progeny said and he looked at Yuyui who blushed.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.556).

"Because of this, I was more easily able to enjoy the company of the people around me, and

they didn't have to be wary of being roasted alive for helping me. It's only after getting rid of this curse that I managed to truly grow strong. And perhaps this was when I started to value

relations genuinely."

Yuyui grinned broadly. The moment Replicus referenced was one of the few times in the past when she had proven useful, and to hear that her efforts created Replicus' favourite moment...

It made her truly happy.

Replicus turned from her and his face suddenly turned grave.

"I made a decision on the same day I overcame the curse, however. I chose to split myself with

a power I had acquired long before. I was desperate to increase my rate of growth. That, as I realise now, might have been a mistake."
