Chapter 1132 The Next Day

Chapter 1132 The Next Day

-----

The next morning, Sphynxiette and her people felt much better. They really needed a good rest! After that whole day of sleeping, they didn't need to pretend to be fine anymore, they were fine. The trio was also able to speak correctly now, and Sphynxiette was talking with them non-stop, helping them catch up with everything.

While we were having breakfast with them, they explained to us each of their own stories. Apparently Sphynxiette was well known as a powerful leader of their tribe, someone that fought against the invaders head-first. They couldn't go into details; it has been so long since then that they had dizzy memories.

This trio was much younger than her, like, at least five times as young as Sphynxiette. She called the kids instead of her equals, despite looking almost the same as her. There was something she could see in them we couldn't, that made her instantly understand they were much younger.

From what they talked; they were younger warriors that fought in the last battle before their entire world was invaded. They were captured alongside many more. But only the three of them were sealed in that pyramid together.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

"We have... no idea where the others... might be."

"It is so sad... that we are separated..."

"But thank you, for saving our lives... We are very grateful."

"It's fine, we did what we had to." My mother smiled. "So what are your plans right now? I don't think you should go against the Gods right now either... Our world, despite all the wars, has reached a relative peace. Even though we've fought a lot, things are mainly stable, I think."

"Would you like to move to our town in the surface down below?" Asked my father. "You're big and everything, yeah... But we can always say you're Demons. They come in all shapes and sizes after all."

Even though Sphynxiette and her people don't mind us using it, because it is already there and they're fine as long as it's not the Gods, we still felt a bit off. Most of our equipment includes a bit of Orichalcum after all.

Hell, Luck's weapons, those powerful claws that absorb his powers and change shape, are made entirely out of Orichalcum. He would have thrown that weapon away if it wasn't because it belonged to Elise before, and she probably didn't know the origin of Orichalcum either.

Anyways, Pyuku and Nephilim were getting along surprisingly well with Sphynxiette and her people. Especially the slimes, who admired the "shiny people" a lot.

"I see, so you're not so different than us, trying to look for your lost kind." Smiled Sphynxiette. "You're a noble little boy. Well, you've already found most of them, I'm glad for you."

"Though... you said... that there were golden birds trapping your friends before?" The black-eyed person asked.

"Ah, yeah, the Golden Flame Phoenixes. They hold a striking resemblance with you." My mother said. "And also feed on the Orichalcum of the pyramids..."

"Birds like us?" Wondered Sphynxiette. "Ah, it must have been the monsters they created using their technology. They took our blood and flesh to create monsters that poorly imitated our toughness and golden feathers. Those birds must have been one of the few survivors. I am glad you slain them, they were aberrations only made to torture us."

"S-So that's how it was... Well, we even ate them and all." Laughed my father. "Our son inherited their power as well, he's growing very strong now."

"Well, I'm glad they were of some use to you." Sphynxiette smiled calmly. "Oh, such a cold and wet air. Are these the wetlands?"

In front of us, a new and beautiful scenery opened up.
