Chapter 430: The Mystery of the Prophecy
Warren’s statement momentarily left me frozen.
Well now call the Duodecad the ‘Twelve Starsigns’... which is likely a reference to the E’to, the astrological system traditionally passed down in T’oued.
“Presumably, everyone here is already aware of the complete contents of the Prophecy Monument.”
Wait, what? When was it deciphered?Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
As Pochi and I tilted our heads in confusion, Irene made a somewhat troubled expression before scratching her head.
“Warren, why don’t you explain it to Asley?”
“Oh, did I never mention it to him? Apologies.”
Okay, that was clearly intentional — it is something one would easily be able to tell after spending just a bit of time with Warren.
The fact that he never explained it to me after all this time implies that there is a reason for him to withhold the information.
As I kept a stern expression and remained silent, Warren began to elaborate on the complete contents of the Prophecy Monument,
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Denizens of the future, prepare thyselves for the coming Devil King...
O, The Army of Twelve, thou shalt be the guiding lights o’er the world
O, The Army of Twelve, thou shalt be the people’s lights o’er the night
O, the Army of Twelve, thou shalt rise with the Twelve Starsigns
O, the Twelve Starsigns, together with the Army of Twelve, thou shalt help the Chosen One
O, thou who revere days long past, the Devil King’s return is near
Thou shalt love God, and shalt obey His word
Do so, and the Way will be shown, if with but a ray of Light
Before long, the Chosen One will appear, and he shalt show thou the Way
O, the Army of Twelve, follow the Chosen One, and be the guiding Light o’er the World
O, the Army of Twelve, follow the Chosen One, and be the People’s Light o’er the Night
On the coming of the Chosen One, hold on to love, power, and laughter, and crush the Devil King’s ambition to pieces
The Chosen One — the Holy Warrior, Poer
~~~~~~~~~~~~
......Okay, I have somewhat grasped the reason why Warren did not tell me.
When I looked at Warren, he returned an innocent smile. He is a man of — that much is clear.
But that’s enough tangent... The important part is that, if I had known about this prophecy in the previous stage, then perhaps this magic might not have been completed.
“And the truth is that, even without twenty-four entities, Asley’s magic has been completed. This is the most significant proof — which I didn’t expect to fit so well, I admit. Never have I thought that everyone involved would be so strongly connected to the Holy Warrior Poer.”
Warren looked at me, smiling.
Indeed, this is undoubtedly the result of the path I have walked. Perhaps the words God spoke had this meaning as well.
“Sir Asley’s magic does have a... very unique style to it, yes.”
Tifa murmured.
“Sir Tangalán even walked out with his face all red when everything was over! Ahahaha!”
Barun chuckled innocently.
“It’s hard to handle, but it’s actually kinda similar to the magic Li’l Irene taught, you know!”
Natsu said, suppressing her laughter.
“Hey, Natsu! Be quiet!”
Wait, Irene? How? Wasn’t Natsu supposed to have been taught magic by Trace, considering how she went to the University? Well, I guess that’s just how Natsu works — learning more effectively from Irene and Lina.
“Huh? Why?”
“Just be quiet!”
“Mmm, so weird!”
And Irene had been frequently trying to steal my magic — that’s how Natsu learned my style, in a way. But is my magic really THAT unique?
As I tilted my head in contemplation, I noticed another person who seemed troubled out of the corner of my eye.
It’s someone in a situation similar to mine... Pochi.
“Hmm... Hmm...!”
Noticing something was up with Pochi, Lylia spoke to her,
“Something the matter, Pochi?”
“This isn’t right!”
“What?”
“Why am I not one of those twelve beasts!? I could be either the Dog or the Rooster! They’re excluding me on purpose! I feel so betrayed!”
Right, that’s also the point that bothered me.
The full scope of the Prophecy Monument has now been revealed, the missing contents all filled in.
However, not all the pieces are in place yet. Or maybe it just doesn’t seem so.
This is something everyone in this place understands, I’m sure.
Perhaps unraveling the mystery of this prophecy is the key to being victorious the Devil King.
