Chapter 1627 Leveling Up Easily!


After we evaded that thing by a hair, we continued flying across the skies leisurely, trying to calm ourselves down as well. I continued asking of ways to be able to defeat the Desert King, until the twins come out with some information of use.


"Well, they say the Desert King"s greatest weakness is Ice and Water." Said Ariant.


"Yeah, when the sand where I dives becomes mud, it becomes trapped. Its body is made to dive in sand so when it is trapped in mud its little legs can"t carry its enormous body around the desert." Said Eriant.


"But that"s just some sort of myth, it has never really rained here until you got here, Kireina-sama." Ariant said.


"Indeed, but in those myths, there was one about a Desert King thar died when it rained, its body was then slowly taken down by the villagers, who ate his delicious meat and used his enormous body as shelter and as materials to build their weapons, walls, and houses." Eriant added.


"Grandma always told us that story. This is why Desert Kings are seen as sacred beasts, they once helped our ancestors survive, according to that tale." Said Ariant.


"A tale, huh? Tell me more about that tale of yours…" I said.


"Well… it happened long, long ago, several dozens of generations." Said Ariant.


"It was a time similar to the one we were suffering before you appeared, Kireina-sama. People was dying of hunger, the crops dried out and died, monsters constantly attacked and robbed our food, and the country was oppressing their people." Said Eriant.


"Many people were constantly dying, but those that were surviving, day and night prayed to the Sun G.o.d of Harvest, Alios. Of course, even when the G.o.ds fell, religion still exists, people still pray to the G.o.ds, hoping their divine souls, somewhere, might hear their prayers." Said Ariant.


"Until one day, a little girl began praying to a different G.o.d. She said: "Why are we praying to the G.o.d of Sun with this harsh sunlight? We"ll only make it worse! We should pray for the G.o.ddess of Water and Rain, Aquaias"…" Said Eriant.


"And like that, some people hated her, after all, Alios has always been our patron deity." Said Ariant. "However, some people found reason in her words, and helped her pray to the G.o.ddess of Water and Rain, Aquaias."


"Eventually, more people desperate began praying as they saw their loved ones die. Day after day… Until finally, the G.o.ddess heard their prayers, and out of nowhere, the endlessly clear sky turned black, countless clouds appeared everywhere, and water began pouring from the skies endlessly." Said Ariant. "The desert became an enormous muddy swamp, plants began growing everywhere, the crops regrew anew!"


"And from within the mud, the enormous Desert King that ate the people"s crops began struggling to breathe and swim in the sand, until it died." Said Eriant.


"Finding reason to the girl"s prayers, everyone continued praying for different G.o.ds depending in the necessity instead of asking one G.o.d for everything." Said Ariant.


"Like this, people ate the desert king"s flesh, drank its blood, used his body to build walls, houses, armor, and weapons, and they defended against the wild monsters. They prospered." Said Eriant.


"It doesn"t leave much of a teaching, it is just a bedtime story." Said Ariant.


"I think it still is good to teach children to be more religious, although religion as a whole is slowly fading away as the knowledge of the G.o.ds being dead spread out. Only Luminous-sama and Kireina-sama are the last G.o.ds to exist in here." Said Eriant.


"Maybe we should tell the people to pray for them from now on?" Wondered Ariant.


"Well I got ahead of you! I left two shrines I built out of wood in the village for this big fat dragon and myself." I said.


"Who are you calling big fat dragon!?" Luminous angrily barked back. "However, thanks for doing that."


"Hehe, yes, keep thanking me you fat dragon!" I laughed.


"Stop that!" Luminous said.


"Well if you want more recognition by the people you better act like a G.o.d, use your powers to heal the sick, help their crops prosper, and so on." I said.


"Hmm… I guess I"ll begin working on that once you"re done with your mission." Said Luminous.


As we flew, I continued earning more and more EXP, until the monsters reached the last floor of the Dark Labyrinth and fought a gigantic Cactus Mother, which had the shape of an actual cactus with countless vines with spikes. It even knew Dark Magic and Nature Magic and was a pain in the a.s.s to beat for the monsters. But eventually they did it, with most of them dead in the process of course.


At the end, I earned an enormous quant.i.ty of saved up EXP from all the kills.
