Book 4-5.3

“A long time ago, there were no righteous people that the heavens rained down a terrible flood to wash all of the world’s sins away. This hole that can twist the world is what was given to us as a warning.”

Violet had a serious expression on her face as she explained what the Hero’s Land was currently defending.

“The heroes in the Hero’s Land were all people who left this world on their own volition. They knew about the existence of this hole and sought to help defend the world from destruction with their souls. But something else had already sealed it already.”

The things that Violet just said were a shock to both Yulian and the Red Storm. Only Tuma Takaka was better off as he heard this scary story once more after first hearing of it as a child.

“However, there was something else that they were able to find out. It was the key to this hole. That key was a bomb that could destroy the seal at any time and completely twist the world.”

Violet put her hand in the air and spun around one time before continuing to speak.

“The souls that reside here had to protect it. Whether it was the hole or the key to the hole, all of it was the will of heaven, however, they thought that no matter what it was, the lifeforms living in the world had to defend against it. It was a sense of humans needed to take responsibility for the actions of their kind, even if it was in the ancient past.”

“What does it mean that the world will become twisted?”

Yulian suddenly recalled something he had heard before and asked Violet. Violet looked toward Yulian as she answered.

“It is a twisting of the world as it stated. Whether there will be natural disasters or new plagues that humans have no knowledge about, something will happen to lead the world toward the brink of destruction. It will be similar to the ancient land that was destroyed by the great flood.”

The Red Storm warriors almost let out a shout due to their curiosity.

‘Then we should destroy it, why are you protecting it?!’

But the Red Storm held back and Yulian spoke on everyone’s behalf.

“I have heard a similar story before. However, I just decided to accept it as is because I thought it did not have anything to do with me.”

“You heard a story like this?”

Violet asked in shock as she did not expect Yulian to have heard about such a thing. Yulian nodded his head and responded.

“Yes, the ancient continent that Violet-nim spoke of, I have been there. I visited a place called the Magic Tower that was tall enough to pierce through the heavens.”

“My goodness.”

Violet let out a sound of astonishment as her jaws dropped. That was what she was taught and accepted as the truth, that was why she was working very hard to get used to this boring and completely dull lifestyle.

‘He is definitely talking about the Tower of Haughtiness in the destroyed continent. That tower that those fools who wanted to fight against the Lord built to attack the heavens.’

Violet knew the truth, however, she did not know where the ancient continent or even the Tower of Haughtiness was located. That was why she was shocked to hear that Yulian had personally visited and spoke with someone at the tower.

“The old granny who was the master of the tower told me a similar story. The story she told me had a similar influence like the power that Violet-nim mentioned.”

“Go on.”

Violet urged Yulian to continue. The things that she just knew to be the truth were finally starting to take form in her mind.

“We did not speak much. I had a dream and I already had enough on my plate to achieve that dream.”

“Ah! For such a thing......”

Violet let out a sigh as she glared at Yulian.

“The Glow’s dream is small while this issue is a problem for the entire world and its population. How could you do such a thing......”

Yulian confidently shook his head and responded to Violet’s disappointed words.

“My dream is not small. It is something to console the souls of the many desert warriors who have died in battle, and something that is needed for the people who will continue to die in the future.”

‘It was the will of heaven for you to be born as a conqueror. However, you are merely an ant in the overall scheme of things.’

Violet wanted to shout that out loudly, but she was not able to share the will of heaven with others.

Even still, she wanted to shout that to Yulian so that she could awaken him. However, she had to hold herself back as she was not a savior yet.

“There is no loss in being prepared.”

“You are the third person to tell me that story. However, I have decided to focus on the things that I can personally do right now.”

“......”

Yulian and Violet stared at each other for a long time. It was clear that both of them had a lot to say.

“Sigh~, since that is the will of the Glow, I guess that is what you will do. Even the fact that you are taking this Savior’s Test is because the Glow is focused on the present. Please continue to focus on the present so that things go as planned.”

Yulian tilted his head at Violet’s response as he could not understand why she was sighing and reacting this way.

Violet continued to explain.

“That unknown strength had been getting weaker until a whlie ago, however, it has started to get stronger again these days. I’m sure our heroes will have another terrible battle in the near future. However, this is a land that cannot be broken. I pray for the heavens to call me to help them protect the world, however, they have not called me just yet.”

‘I’m sure it is related to Mai hyung-nim and Luff hyung-nim.’

Yulian thought that to himself as he started to speak.

“This is what I think. I think that everything will work out properly if each person focuses on their life and do not do anything to anger the heavens.”

“What the Glow says is correct. However, not everyone in the world thinks the same way as the Glow.”

“We need to work to create such a world. Rather than worrying about balance, the hole, or even the things that will happen following the will of heaven, shouldn’t we work on creating a world where everyone can live like proper humans?”

Yulian had a charm that convinced others with his words when he spoke his thoughts clearly and thoroughly. That was the reason many oasis chiefs and chieftains all believed in Yulian. Yulian, the man who started to slowly bring to fruition a dream they thought was impossible, was a charismatic man they could not go against.

Even Violet lost her words for a moment. She had many answers in her mind, however, there was nothing that could convince this man named Yulian.

“I pray that the Glow’s will flows in a positive direction. I say that with full sincerity.” action

After choosing to not clash against Yulian, VIolet started to walk once more.

The next thing Violet showed them was a school to teach young shamans. This house was as big as five paos put together, and around thirty little children were sitting down with their mouths moving.

“The shamans of the Shire spend ten hours a day even when they are very young to study the ancient incantations. They then spend two hours learning about the history of the desert.”

Yulian shook his head internally at Violet’s explanation and started to speak.

“It must be very difficult. They should be out having fun at such a young age.”

“They learn about the responsibilities that come with strength from a very young age.”

“A responsibility for their strength......”

Yulian knew Violet’s words were not wrong, however felt like it was a bit too much. The youngest of the children who were mouthing incantations seemed to be no older than ten years old. It seemed too much for such a young child to be studying twelve hours a day.

“The Shire tribe has never had many people. In addition, we surprisingly have a lot of people who die very early. The average age of all of the Shire’s people is lower than thirty years of age.”

If you compared it to how the average age of the desert people was 38 or 39, it was extremely low.

“Having a lot of people means having the power to protect the tribe. It must be difficult for you.”

Even though Yulian was pretty much saying ‘that is why it would be great for the Shire to join Pareia,’ Violet’s expression did not change at all.

“By the time they become adults, even veteran warriors of the desert will not be able to avoid their incantations. They will have enough strength to defend against tens of warriors. Furthermore, the incantations of the Shire become stronger and stronger based on the amount of people working together.”

“What?”

In order to defend against tens of warriors on their own, they would need to have more strength than a veteran lead warrior. If you think about how Pareia only has slightly over 100 lead warriors, Violet’s words seemed a bit exaggerated.

“If I am being honest with you, these thirty children here can easily defend against one of the Red Storm warriors.”

Yulian could not understand Violet’s provocation.

‘Is she trying to make one of us speak out of anger?’

While Yulian was thinking like that, Violet said something else to provoke them.

“You look like you do not believe me. I do not mind if you test it yourself. You will be able to see why our Shire was able to continue being independent and how we managed to protect this place with only 1,000 shamans. The reason we hide ourselves is to not be annoyed by the other tribes, not out of fear.”

“Please do not look down on our warriors anymore Violet. I have no thoughts of using warriors to forcefully takeover the Shire.”

“I am not looking down on them. I am just speaking the truth.”

Violet had an expression that seemed to be saying ‘why are you angry?’ as she looked toward the Red Storm warriors and lightly smiled.

There was no way the Red Storm warriors id not know what that smile meant, however, they trusted it was her trying to provoke them so that at least one of them started to speak. That was why they just focused on clenching their teeth and not looking toward Violet.

Yulian and Red Storm continued to restrain themselves, but the next words out of Violet’s mouth made it difficult to listen anymore.

“Now that I think about it, it will be better for you not to test it. There is a nine out of ten chance that one of the Red Storm warrior-nims will be injured.”

“Violet-nim. If you really think that will be the case, I feel like it would be better to test out one of those children’s strengths. I will consider it to be a sample as I will need to know the strength of the Shire if I become its leader.

“Even if you will regret it?”

Violet’s continued provocation actually calmed Yulian’s mind. He was certain that Violet’s goal was to provoke either himself or the Red Storm.

“A warrior does not know of regret.”

Yulian said that as he looked toward the Red Storm. Haisha was currently not here as he was protecting Edwin on his way back while Shubeon was still recovering in the oasis. That meant that that was only one warrior suited to represent the Red Storm.

“Thrint.”

Thrint walked forward at Yulian’s call.
