Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 153

“That’s great!” Dishonesty exclaimed. “I’m glad you want to take part in my mission to revive the gods.”

“But why do we have to revive the gods?”

“Didn’t I already tell you? We need the Major Gods to maintain the balance of this world, we also need them to keep the peace. I feel the revival of the scourge recently and that was a sign that chaos will come. That was also the reason why I wake up from my long slumber.”

Scourge revive recently. Previously and as long as I lived in this world, I had never heard the news about the scourge. I heard about them after I gave Vier and the other Gaia Blood Gem after they received the quest from Gaia. So…

“Did I-”

“Yes, you’re right,” said Dishonesty to cut my words. Again and again, her sharp gaze was fixed on me. “From the story, you told me and from the memories, I took from you. I can say for sure, you are the one who started the destruction of this world.”

“That was outrageous! I didn’t do anything that could endanger this world!” I deny her words with everything I have.

As an ordinary Beastkin, I don’t want to be labeled as someone who started the destruction of the world.

The pressure from that crisis is too big and heavy for me to shoulder alone. Ignoring the heavy pressure or maybe the burden I felt, Dishonesty made a thin smile. Seeing that, I knew that she thought of bad things.

“I don’t want to hear anything!” I cried out then sealed my fox ears at the top of my head with two hands. Truly, I don’t want to hear things that the woman says but…

“The destruction of the world arrived and it was your fault.” Dishonesty’s voice echoed directly in my head. “You can’t deny it because you are the one who knows how to use Gaia Blood Gem, you are the one who then tells other people to activate it.”

Hearing those words, I shook my head. “I don’t do anything.”

Dishonesty raised one of her eyebrows. “I want to say you’re wrong but whatever. You did agree to destroy the soul of the evil gods so I don’t need this blackmail to threaten you. On the other side, I will use it when you tried to run away from your responsibility.”

“Ugh! That’s extremely suffocating!”

I never thought the thing I did to make Vier and others get a thrilling adventure, turned into an event that triggered the beginning of the destruction of the world.

“And is that true? This world will be destroyed because I revive the scourge by triggering the Main Quest, the Titans?”

“The world right now is not overseen by six Major Gods. It makes the world vulnerable to the invasion from the gods of the other world and of course, the invasion initiated by the Evil Gods.”

“The world is safe from those invasions because the Major Gods have made a pact with Creation God, the pact where Creation God will protect this world from the gods of the other world.”

“We can say, we are safe from the outside invasions but not from within, this world has many threats. Twelve Evil Gods still exist and live in this world. Four of them were sealed after The War of Gods. The other five Evil Gods disappeared or hid. And the last three Evil Gods are active and visible but they hardly have power.”

“You trigger the revival of the Scourge or we can say, you entice the Evil Gods to come out by trying to revive Gaia.”

As I said, I used Gaia Blood Gem because I want a thrilling adventure, not to destroy the world. I just want Vier and the other to have a taste of the great journey of the hero who will save the world. I want to say those words as a form of protest but I realized, that words were just a motive for me to escape this cruel reality.

So, in the end, I didn’t say anything. I just listened to her explanation with my fox’s ear and tail hanging weakly.

“I know you did it accidentally. After all, Gaia asking for help from you or your friend. I also know, Gaia doesn’t know that her struggles to revive herself will trigger the evil gods to make a move and also to revive themselves.”

“Gaia and three other Major Gods did not know our – the Elders – plans revive them in secret. We waited for the right time to revive them so as not to be detected by the Evil Gods. Then, taking advantage of the moments when the evil gods are still in a weak state and being sealed, the Elders along with the Major Gods will destroy them!”

“The world will earn it deserved peace but, a plan often runs not per expectations, right?”

Getting that question, I can only answer with a weak nod.

“Now, about menaces that will destroy this world. Destruction will occur because of the rage of Evil Gods and the pollution that the Scourge have.”

“The world will be thrown upside down because of the rage of Evil Gods. They will mess with the rule of nature, the reality together with the dream, and the life of any creatures. On the other side, the pollution from the Scourge will turn everything into a mindless beast and will erode their souls. In the end, nothingness will await us.”

“You are right, when we live, we will be a mindless beast or toy for the Evil Gods. And when we die, we will never be reborn or being reincarnated because our souls were eroded into nothingness by the Scourge. That’s the menaces that await us.”

“And all of that menaces come to us because of your fault!” She exclaimed with a thin smile.

On the other side, I, who was scared by the responsibility yelled, “Dishonesty!” Tears welled up in my eyes.

“Okay, I’m joking and I’m sorry. Not everything was your fault, you just accelerated the beginning of the destruction meanwhile the destruction itself has existed from ancient times.”

After getting all that explanation, I don’t say anything. I’m still shocked by all the knowledge she gives me. I want to deny everything, but I know, this truth can’t be denied.

Silence enveloped us for some time until…

“The Elders have made preparations to deal with this crisis. So, we can breathe a sigh of relief and maybe, everything will get better if you succeed in destroying the soul of the sealed Evil Gods. Of course, I will assist in your mission to succeed. So, try our best, Eclaite.”

“…okay, I will try my best.”

“I expect it,” she said with a smile. A moment later, she turn to look at the distance. “Now, you can go back and rest. There’s something I have to do.”

With that sentence as a sign, our discussion ends.

I leave the garden, use Teleportation Crystal to go to the city, after that I went to the inn, where Ruciel and others already waiting for me. They are in the middle of their lunch.

My level goes up and now I can evolve. Because of that, when the night come, I asked Ruciel to sleep with Kimi and the others. I asked them not to disturb me and wake me up in the morning.

Alone in my room, I chose YES to evolve. My consciousness disappeared, I fell asleep.

… …

…

When I open my eyes, morning arrived.

Judging from the high sun, I know I wake up late. Luckily and according to my wishes, Ruciel and the others didn’t disturb me. Thanks to that no panic happened, just like what happened in my second evolution.

Now, after evolving, let’s look at the improvement I get.

Hmm … in the previous evolution, I got 4 points for luck, 20 points for Dex, 30 points for ST, 40 points for End, Agi, HP, and SP, last, 60 points for MP.

And now, I get 8 points for Luck, 40 points for Dex, 60 points for ST, 80 points for End, Agi, HP, and SP, as for MP, I got 120 points.

This…

This… was unbelievable!

I became so strong! Basic statistics I have increased by a bunch. And will I say, now I can face any enemy – under level sixty – easily.

I can beat Crystal Cobra without having to struggle badly. I just need to rely on my speed and strength to kill the monster.

I’m so excited! Now, I can’t wait to try this new power on the battlefield! I want to hunt hundreds of monsters!
