I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 808 Calling Everybody Over

[You saw her and didn’t see the big threatening scissors of mine penetrating her chest?!!!]

[Who cares! She might seem to like being tortured!]

This girl… Was she going crazy or what?

[Just shut up and come here. There is a big thing happening and we need to make a decision about it now!] I didn’t have the mind to exchange such useless words with her.

Ignoring her, I held the weak body of Lily and went downstairs.

“W… What h… Happened?” weakly as I put her in one of the small rooms on the second floor, she asked in a weak tone and half closed eyes.

“Did your race have a curse? Old tales about the higher ups and kings getting mad or something?”

“This…” she was breathing heavily, yet I needed to get such an answer before she would lose herself to sleep.

“Something related to the guardian beast perhaps?” I brought the keyword, hoping it might help to refresh her memories or something.

And it worked!

“Yes! The mad guardian fever! It’s a curse! Indeed…” but after saying this, she went to sleep and didn’t say anymore.

Sigh! So that curse existed and no one knew the nature of it. Or perhaps she got to say more but went to sleep.

What should I do then? If they started moving against Lily, they would also move against anyone else.

The good news was that once moving, they wouldn’t be able to return to the damn place they came from.

And the better news was that they knew now I could kill them.

However… Thinking about my large population of Hectors made me doubt my ability to control such plaque if spread.

“Let me assume that there isn’t a large number of them…” as I returned back to the chariot, I found my chick standing there in a bad mood.

She watched me carrying Lily and went downstairs, stayed there for a few minutes before coming up.

I kept defending and explaining until she got what happened. Despite the fact that she got it, she was still mad.

“What makes you think so?” I was deeply lost in thoughts while she responded:

“Because if they had such a large number of souls, they would have controlled an army instead. And also… Why here?”

“This world has that beast with the ability to grow into a guardian, I already told you that,” I rolled my eyes when she said that. Wasn’t she listening when I explained the situation or what?

“I mean… Why select this world and this beast? Aren’t you curious? You said such beast will appear once in each generation. It is unique in this generation, but in the overall history of that race, this beast isn’t.”

Well… Her words made quite sense. I also asked this to this being, and his answer was slippery and didn’t give me any clues.

However, what Hilary said made me recall my previous doubts. Indeed this was fishy. Why this beast? Why this world exactly?

Was it the beast? Or the Hectors here? Or me? Or something else?

I looked at the distance and thought about all these options. The chariot took me deeply into the ocean, yet the speed was remarkably reduced.

Not to mention I was moving slowly towards there so I could organise my thoughts further.

“You sent it to others?” She noticed the approach of many chariots towards us.

“I need to hear others’ opinions about this,” I waited for the others to get on board before briefing them with the details.

“Are you telling me that this guardian beast has a backing in… A soul realm?!” the jumper was the first to speak, and I slowly nodded, “and they can hack any Hector race member? But how? And why only Hector?”

I turned my eyes towards the sole Hector I allowed on board of my chariot. He was a Legend. And from the look of his face, it seemed he recognised what was going on here.

“I believe our Legend here can explain this to us,” I already got a theory, but I had to hear what this youth had to say.

As I said that, all the eyes here fell over him. Despite being at such a young age, almost fifteen, he was standing here, collected and not fazed with the heavy eyes coming from everyone.

“There is an old curse running in our race,” he started by telling me the same thing Lily said before losing her consciousness, “and it’s only related to the higher up circle of our race.”

.

“Go on,” I nodded for him to continue.

“The curse is about a few members of the kings and members of big families going crazy at some point. They started causing problems and even started internal wars many times already. So, our race higher ups decided to kill anyone showing such signs, and they developed a method to detect who is going crazy before the signs would appear.”

“Interesting…” I muttered as these people dealt with this as a disease and not a soul possession thing.

Were they deluded? I couldn’t believe it. From the words of that bastard from earlier, they seemed to deal with the kings and higher ups of that race many times already.

So the higher ups were already aware of what happened, and they decided to cover up the truth using such a curse.

“What method?” but they seemed to thoroughly study this soul possession process and managed to find a way to detect it.

If they could, then using the same method I’d also detect the ones affected by it.

“They use a soul stone, one of the high calibre,” Legend suddenly pointed at his chest, “all the higher ups or those coming from strong families are wearing that stone.”

“Do you have it?” the jumper asked as he was interested in recruiting this dude to his forces.

“I doubt it,” I interfered, spoiling that fake care and attention that the jumper showed for Legend.
