Chapter 291: Imminent Danger

Chapter 291: Imminent Danger

Everyone looked at Vanessa, she also looked around before starting to speak in a serious tone.

"To be as direct as possible, we're screwed, we have to leave the mountain range as quickly as possible." (Vanessa)

"You said that when you saw the crack in the sky while we were still in the fortress, can you explain it in a way that everyone will understand?" (I)

"As you all know, Farus was a Priest of an Heretic God." (Vanessa)

"I didn't see the battle as I was unconscious, but the creature that took Farus' body must have been this Heretic God, but it wasn't even 1% of his true power, it was just consciousness with a shard of power." (Vanessa)

"From what Ivan told me, it seems that the souls that Farus collected and used as an offering to this Heretic God were being used on his soul, this Heretic God was modifying Farus' soul without him realizing it to use as a vessel." (Vanessa)

"He wanted to incarnate in this world using Farus' body, all we did was spoil his plans, it seems that the Dungeon my Father destroyed was also part of this Heretic God's future plan." (Vanessa)

"I already understand all this, where are you going with this?" (Sapphire)

"I think she wants to give context for those who didn't see the battle to get a better overview, right?" (I)

"Exactly, Father." (Vanessa)

"Now I will tell you the most important part, who won this battle was not us, it was the Fairies, they were just waiting for an opportunity to get to where this Heretic God was." (Vanessa)

"That crack in the space above those mountains must have been because of the battle that took place in a place where we couldn't see." (Vanessa)

"But that crack and the divine power that came out of it was felt probably by half of the continent, normal people won't notice it, but the High Priests of any religion that have holy power will feel it." (Vanessa)

"No, that's too bad." (Ivan)

"We must get out of here as soon as possible." (Elsaris)

"I still did not get it." (I)

"What do other religions have to do with getting out of the mountain range?" (Sapphire)

I wasn't getting where Vanessa was getting at, maybe I just didn't want to admit it.

"All religions have their own fighting forces, what do you think you will do when you feel an explosion of divine power unknown in a place uninhabited for centuries?" (Vanessa)

"They're going to come here to investigate, but not just a few people, they're going to come armies." (Elsaris)

"Like any army, they will want to set up a temporary base here, but for that, they will want to get rid of anything hostile in the area." (Ivan)

"In other words, armies will appear here and kill all dangerous monsters, as you may already know, the races of everyone in the village are considered monsters by almost every Kingdom on this continent." (Elsaris)

After Elsaris pointed out the main point of this problem the room was silent, almost everyone on the village council was showing expressions of anger or sadness.

"I'll admit we were running out of food, but that's because we weren't going out hunting, we had to hide so Farus wouldn't find the village." (Sapphire)

"The problem wasn't just the meat, the miasma was starting to affect the fruit trees and crops my race tended." (Nymph leader)

"Trees can become monsters, but if they stay too long in the miasma the fruits can become harmful because of the malice in the miasma because we had to discard large amounts of food." (Nymph leader)

"Why didn't I hear about this sooner?" (Sapphire)

"It wouldn't do to tell, none of us can do anything about it, even if Farus has been defeated the problem will still continue, there's a lot of miasma in the mountain range." (Nymph leader)

"Unlike most who are here, you seem to be a very calm representative of the Nymphs, maybe you already have a solution?" (I)

"I already know what to do, but before announcing I need to talk to the other representatives and the village leader." (Nymph leader)

"Depending on their response my race may separate from the village, so there are certain things that must be discussed first." (Nymph leader)

"Alright, I won't meddle in your village's affairs, after all, I don't intend to stay here long." (I)

"Do you still have anything else you want to say Vanessa?" (I)

"No, I just wanted to warn everyone as the mountain range is no longer safe." (Vanessa)

"Besides, the Church of Light will surely be on its way, it must be one of the first to arrive because its headquarters are the closest." (Vanessa)

"I don't want to meet them, sure I'll be hunted for being a Heretic." (I)

"Of all the religions they are the most prejudiced against other races, the people who are going to come must also have strong detection capabilities, so it will be difficult to escape if we wait too long." (Irina)

"After arriving at the village we will decide our next destination, how much time do you think we have before they arrive?" (I)

"Maybe two weeks, they have Spatial Mages, they also have strong and fast mounts, they use Light Horses." (Irius)

"I heard that these monsters can only be found in the Church of Light." (Diana)

"They are monsters that have been converted, you need to capture a Shadow Horse and perform a ritual in a holy place to purify the element of shadows while granting the element of Light." (Irius)

"But because of that this monster can't evolve into any other race, moreover they lose their instinct which makes it easier to train them but makes them weaker too." (Irina)

"They're just puppets, a well-trained warhorse will still be better than them." (Ivan)

"What I mean is that with these Horses of Light the troops of the Church of Light will quickly cross the mountain range." (Irius)

"Then it would be good for everyone to rest for today, I'll let the village people have their meeting as you have important decisions to make." (I)

After saying that I left with everyone in my group, only the village leader and the village council stayed behind in the meeting room, meanwhile, I went to my room to rest some more, my whole body was still aching and I needed to be in good shape for what I want to do tomorrow.
