Chapter 1396: Bark's Past



I was slightly surprised how much the King of Spirits knew about me, and even more of my people the Arboren, he particularly knew and liked Ivy and Selene.

"Yes, Ivy has inherited the powers of the brave spiritual knight Bark, he wielded the power of spirits in his sword. His memories were hazy, but I believe he was once an Yggdrasil Knight. You have many powers, reincarnating people is a wondrous one," Freyr said.

"And Selene, yes, the wonderful Saintess, she is attuned with the Nature Spirits, even more now with Yggdra and Naturia's contracts. Both of them are wonderful children. They will grow big, and strong... One day they might help us protect and change the world."

Protect and change the world! What does he even mean with that? How is that even going to happen, exactly, I wonder?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I mean, I am not really planning on letting them outside of my dungeon, so how are they going to do that though?

Well, maybe he knows about the future, somehow?

This is kind of like a god after all, although they don't want to be called one.

"I see... Wait, you know about Bark's past?" I wondered.

Bark Past...

If this is true, then I want to see it, even if a small glimpse!

He was summoned briefly and died quickly.

"W-What?!" I gasped. "Suddenly it became so sad!"

"I know, I'm so sorry! But this was his life..." sighed Freyr. "When you gave him a second chance, he must have been very happy to get to live a bit longer. I'm sure he made wonderful memories... Even if he lived briefly, what he learned and lived with others was what made him die happily too. He gave his all to his friend, knowing full well that death awaited him afterwards. Now Ivy carries his Legacy, a Legacy he created through two lives."

"Legacies... right..." I muttered. "They are like Inheritances, right? And as you develop them, you gain new powers or techniques, isn't it?"

"Indeed!" Freyr nodded. "Bark was an exceptional man through two lives, although he never created a Divine Aspect, his very Legacy formed over two lives, and was inherited towards Ivy. The goblin huntress now carries on her shoulders a great responsibility. She has already changed after his death, and she'll continue to change, becoming something that girl never thought she could become."

"Poor Ivy..." I sighed. "She was the most devastated after Bark's death... And yes, she carries a heavy weight, his legacy, and powers, they're now hers. You think it could become a Divine

Aspect?"

"It already has, I would say! Freyr said. "It is quite obvious that they have attained a tremendous power, something capable of surpassing even the limits of their new bodies. Ivy will become great, as great as Selene. Please raise them well, Sylphy."

"Okay... But can you tell me who was the one that killed Bark and his family in his previous life?" I asked desperately, noticing I was fading away into particles of light.

"Sylphy, revenge is not good, even less revenge that is not yours..." Freyr said. "It will pollute your heart..."

"My heart is already polluted, great king of spirits," I confessed. "You know about it, don't you? my past life? I was an assassin, and right now I've remembered my past life resolve when my friends died."

"Hah..." Freyr sighed. "I suppose I'm pretty bad at convincing!" he laughed. "Very well..."

"His name is..."
