Volume 3 Adriel 157: The Last Event (End of the Book)
In the moment of formal contact with the "True Beast", the old enemy before he lost his memory, Fang Nuo sensed the information coming from the atmospheric spiritual power—an endless, vast sea of blue information, almost drowning his consciousness.
He also saw a lot of things going on at about the same time as his own side—from all over the world, uncontrollably flooding into his mind, and he benefited greatly from the pain.
He got an almost "omniscient" perspective!
Although it comes at the cost of "suffering severe headaches", when has it been "activated", or rather, not that way has it been when the ability has been "activated" in the past? He had long been accustomed to pain.
"Look what I've seen......" Fang Nuo faced the black clouds that were slowly pressing down on the ground, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he didn't even notice.
It wasn't out of his subjective consciousness, as if the body would react naturally to the long-standing conceptual enemy, as if announcing his true identity to the orcs he had attracted to.
However, in the next moment, Fang Nuo spurted out a mouthful of blood, blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, and his small body trembled uncontrollably.
Accepting too much information doesn't mean it's a good thing for his current body.
Fortunately, he also has a "spiritual power container".
The little beast raised one of its forelimbs, and in an instant, the figure of a snow-white giant deer slowly stepped out of the air behind him, and the pressure on him was greatly reduced in an instant.
At the same time, the slightly transparent surface of the giant deer's body made of ice and snow has been transformed into a screen, showing him the content of the information that might interest him.
For example, what is happening on the other side of Huangxian Ridge; For example, what kind of situation is the Kaslano who went to the Dark Forest to invite the Flower Emperor are facing now; For example, is the Holy Cross keeping an eye on developments here......
For example, what about the disabled veterans who went to the Xuancai Mountains to seek a "reunion"?
Before the Flower Emperor really came to his side, he could still waste time on these trivial matters, after all, it was impossible for him to recover the strength of his predecessor in such a short period of time, and there must be a reason why the former Beast King gave up everything he had.
Since you can't find the answer to this question for the time being, why don't you hope that other beings will provide a reference answer?
"Although ......" Fang Nuo sighed heartily as he looked at the black clouds that were getting lower and lower, and listened to the sounds of the surrounding people fleeing in all directions.
He had wanted to observe the Flower Emperor's reaction and decide whether he should go to the Holy Cross's headquarters in Kasda or go to Caslano to meet his former acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, his previous actions seemed to be a little too exciting for the beastmaster flying in the sky.
He directly let the other party shift the target, ignoring the surrounding buildings and creatures, and flew down at him.
Fang Nuo dragged the moonlight veil that had lost its effectiveness under the spiritual power of the beastmaster, and moved into the shadow of the giant deer without a word, and raised his head, only the boundless black clouds were left in his field of vision, and the only star dotted among the clouds-
Kao.
He performed a miracle to improve his eyesight, and while his eyes felt severe pain, the image of the other party was also reflected in his vision very clearly.
He saw the intertwining green vines, and the pure white flowers that were about to bloom.
Together, they make up Kao's emaciated body.
The Beastmaster has a human-like but bloodless, somewhat bluish face - should he be worthy of the faith of the dryads, or is the style of "humanoid" worthy of the taste of the plant-monster lineage?
He also had a pair of long, pointed ears that matched the color of his complexion, and various vines of dark green and almost inky color grew from the back of his neck, spread to the sides of his head, and finally climbed up to his ear, and hung naturally at the lobe, ending in a small, blood-red fruit, the only warm color of his body.
A white waking grass bloomed from one of His eye sockets, replacing the one that was supposed to be embedded in it.
On the other half of his face, a long, elongated mark, distinct from the Holy Cross, is engraved like a flower stem, extending to the periphery of His intact eye, depicting a flower on the periphery of the socket.
On his forehead was a small, flesh-colored flower that looked like a birthmark, which was not at all conspicuous against the pure white dream grass and was difficult to observe.
"I've seen that trait in the memory fragments I've skimmed before...... I've seen it more than once. Funno poked his head out from under the deer's body, one forepaw pressed against his eye to relieve the tingling sensation coming from it.
The next moment, a new image flashed into his mind, and at the same time, it also appeared on the surface of the giant deer's body.
Fang Nuo saw that the disabled veteran was finally reunited with the idol of his dreams, but what awaited him was goodbye.
Fang Nuo, who had formed a "bad fate" with the witch, and was able to leave Huangxian Ridge thanks to her, recalled the memories and identity abandoned by his predecessor, even if he usually behaved unkindly, he couldn't help but gasp because of what he saw at this moment, and then he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
But beyond these complex emotions, he was keenly aware that all of this was arranged by a certain Beastmaster in the past.
The orcs, who symbolize the concept of "falsehood", make all kinds of decisions in order to defeat his old enemies, and the scene that happened in his new picture is probably part of his plan.
Maybe it's a crucial part, or maybe it's just "in passing".
The moment he witnessed Pietro's painful performance, Funno's mind cleared up at once.
He recalls the Beastmaster "Hideous" and his servant Novino, as well as the past of this human and his two childhood sweethearts...... These memories seemed to have been stored in the spiritual power of the planet's atmosphere, and once the opportunity arose, they would automatically be engraved into his mind.
Just like those abilities that he had recovered on their own every once in a while since he was taken away from Huangxian Ridge by the witch.
It was the "Hideous" who gave the power of the "eldest lady" Ilan, who was involved in the rebellion of her friends and sent to the cold hell, and he made this ill-fated human on the basis of her original talent, gain invincible ability, incarnate into a great hero and general to save the country, drive away foreign enemies from neighboring countries and other small surrounding countries again and again, and solve the civil strife caused by the domestic aristocracy.
However, Ylan, who hides his true face and hides his name, fails to gain the trust of another childhood friend who became King Aderiel.
Originally, she had slept in the cold hell in the mind of King Adriel, Hades, who killed his father and brother.
The betrayal of a good friend, the death of a good friend, and the defection of his family's family to the empire chilled the young king, who had never trusted the powerful man who suddenly came to him, just as he had never trusted his own abilities.
How can such a king, even if he has always kept his original intentions, govern the country well?
That's why he stepped into the trap of the enemy again and again, trusting people he shouldn't trust, but cast a suspicious eye on his friends who really wanted to help him, and even planted people around him, trying to investigate whether the other party had different intentions.
"We're friends, Elan." ——Fang Nuo suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the young man with a white head and a hideous scar on his face, the king of a country, said to his subordinates with a smirk.
"Yes." Fang Nuo saw the former witch, with a bandage on her face and a voice completely different from her original self due to the ability of the "false beast", and in the face of the pretending words of the serving monarch, a rare smile appeared on her stiff face.
"We're friends, Hades."
The person named "Yilan", who is sought after by the people, is really too dazzling.
Her unintentional reply may also make the suspicious king panic and become more wary.
But he had to rely on this guy of unknown origin......
"I've had enough!"
A new fragment of memory appeared in front of Fang Nuo's eyes, and almost at the same moment, the Flower Emperor landed on the ground not far from him, "looking at each other" with the ice-crystal giant deer with blank eyes.
The little beast shrank under the deer's body, and then he heard the king's voice again:
"I've had enough! Every day - I had to face that bandaged face every day! He also exudes a biting chill all the time...... Although, I understand that his great contribution to the battle against Kaslano may have been wounded, disfigured, and lost an eye in one of the battles, but why did he dress up like that?! ”
"I mean......" the king of memory fell limply on his throne, "I don't understand ......"
Fang Nuo vaguely understood the reason why the other party was not used to seeing the masked man's appearance, because Novino, a human who had been injured and disfigured by himself in the cold hell, had to put a bandage on his face, and became an enemy with Hades with this appearance.
"Isn't a scar a symbol of honor for a warrior, for Adriel's greatest general?" The king grumbled, "I have never seen his true face under the bandage, and in fact, I don't even know where he came from...... His past, his loved ones? No, all I know is his strength, and his name. ”
And in this memory, standing opposite King Hades is the amnesiac he sent out to test Ilan, Nowell.
The young man, who was also affected by the abilities of the "false beast", faced with the king's doubts, gave advice that was not at all advice: "If you really care so much, why don't you ask for yourself?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Elam Grand March is loyal to you, and if you ask for it, he will 100% remove his disguise and show you his truest side, if you decide that it is a matter of trust between the monarch and the courtier."
Nowell gave his king the most standard military salute, and without waiting for anything to be said, he took his own leave: the awkward relationship between the kingdom and the barracks made him sometimes unhappy with Hades, and, more often than not, he felt that their great general was far more terrible than their king.
After Nowell's figure disappeared from the memory, the man on the throne frowned even tighter.
Fang Nuo was excited, and his consciousness returned to reality.
He suddenly found that within the range of his spiritual power perception, which had not been deliberately enhanced, there were several more human breaths that were either unfamiliar or familiar.
"Ahh......hh
He couldn't help but secretly sigh that he had roamed this planet in the past, made friends with many human beings, and calculated a certain human being related to his old enemy, so that even if he was defeated by the other party, he could be disgusted by the other party.
Who knows if the Beastmaster of the past, "Hideous", had planned such a day a long time ago, or did he plant the seeds and grow freely during his tenure, and finally led things to the current scene?
The Flower Emperor who was exposed to the lie, although his aura slowly weakened, but the power of the Beast King did not diminish at all, and the reason why those Holy Cross humans did not dare to approach here was because they were still afraid of him.
They were afraid that He would be able to fight back.
"How many human wishes have I ever fulfilled?" The snow-white beast emerged from under the giant deer's doppelganger, bravely overcoming the timidity in his heart, allowing him to calmly face the other beastmaster who was silently standing in front of him.
He actually had a ridiculous mentality similar to that group of humans, thinking that the Flower Emperor had weakened, so he dared to stand up...... Of course, after he made this decision, the fluke mentality turned to a sense of "resignation", where he reunited with his old enemies, believing that the "real beast" also had the eye to see the problems in him.
This is also the reason why the other party didn't kill him in the first place, right? Or perhaps, the relationship between the two Beastmasters was not as bad as he thought? After all, Sling Zheng had been an envoy to the Emperor of Caslano, who had asked the Flower Emperor for help.
Between them, it may not be a life-and-death relationship, perhaps, there was once an ethereal friendship.
That is the special relationship between the two beast kings, a recognition of each other's identities, and a "self-pity" for each other's fate.
"That's why you're disgusted by heaven and earth, hideous." The Beastmaster on the other side replied as if he were facing a familiar being, his tone cold but not without emotion.
The truth is that they were familiar with each other in the past, and Fang Nuo was not at all surprised that the Flower Emperor would answer his own questions.
"As long as a human intercedes with you, you will share in your power." The Beastmaster, whose body was slowly becoming a little transparent, replied, "O child of nature, the existence that created you could not bear to see you spend your own strength, so I gave you a mission and a unique 'evil beast' personality. ”
"While you are rejected by Him, you are also favored and loved by Him."
"Are there only humans?" Fang Nuo could sense the constant approach of the members of the Holy Cross, and looking at the current situation of the Flower Emperor, even if they did not take the initiative to attack, he had already been consumed by his own power to the point that he could not maintain his existence, and he would either become an incarnate sleeping on the spot, or disappear immediately, and wait for the heavens and the earth to create a life form that represented the "real".
This is the price that the orcs have to pay when they abuse the power they have been given.
He is worthy of being the "darling of heaven and earth", he has been connived at by the world, and in the end he realizes this fact, and chooses to bear the price of coping, give up everything he has, and return the world to normal.
Fang Nuo's mouth opened for a moment.
"Are there only humans?"
This question comes from his own heart, it is an instinctive question he asks, and it is also an opportunity.
"Thank you, False Beast." From behind him came the voice of Bai Qiao, although he had not officially come into contact with this human since Fang Nuo could remember, but he was all too familiar with this voice, "You have fulfilled your promise. ”
It seems that this human also made a wish to the beastmaster "Hideous".
Moreover, Bai Qiao has stepped into the ice hell, and he has already been baptized by the power of "hideous".
Under Fang Nuo's will, the Ice Crystal Giant Deer slowly turned around to face Bai Qiao and a group of like-minded people, and protected the increasingly weak Flower Emperor behind him.
"The world doesn't need to be 'real.'" Bai Qiaokou spoke wildly, and this is what he has always believed.
He is also one of those beings who has been driven "crazy" by the experience of his life, much like the king who doesn't intend to trust anyone, and the brothers who hate the beasts in the "Seven Virtues".
"Yes, 'Motoza' has devised a long conspiracy, and you are all pawns involved in it." The memories that kept flooding into his mind made Fang Nuo's thoughts feel extremely slow and heavy, and his mood, his personality, seemed to be gradually changing, to be more accurate, "recovering".
Fang Nuo gripped the emerald on his chest, as if trying to maintain his own consciousness under the impact of past memories and current events.
He turned his head little by little, and his gaze fell on the flower emperor, and the other party seemed to nod towards him:
"You know what to do, Hide."
That's right, you know what to do.
He has regained his memory, regained his powers, remembered the mysteries of the world, and has confronted the last unresolved events left by his former self.
Pure white light burst out from the body of the little beast, and he gradually became one with his doppelganger, and then, changing into a form similar to that of humans and the Kao, he took out the astrolabe related to another time and space from the miracle creation he carried with him.
"This seat will grant your wishes."
Not only humans, but also orcs who have made a choice and now have to face their own fate, they all expressed their prayers.
The astrolabe was activated, and under the urging of the Beastmaster's spiritual power, it finally showed its true effect, connecting to the starry sky above their heads, paving a way to the "other time and space" for the conceptual beast that was condemned by humans as "not needed".
Regardless of the outcome of the feud between humans and orcs, the false beast will eventually embark on a journey alone, just as it was before he became "Fangnuo".
But this time, He has a new identity, a new relationship, and a new power.
After solving the unfinished matter of his predecessor, what awaits him will be the mystery of another starry sky outside the sky, and a new journey.
