Chapter 9: Sylvias Story
Chapter 9: Sylvia"s Story
The silver-haired girl looked at Elysia with a slightly surprised look and wondered where this golden-haired girl came from.
"Were you born from a stone?" Sylvia slipped her tongue when she saw Elysia"s innocent face.
"Hehe... What can I do? I just arrived in this world. I don"t know much about things here. Can you be kind enough to tell me the basic knowledge here?" Elysia giggled softly and smiled, hoping for further information from the silver-haired girl.
"What does she mean by this world?" Elysia"s answer made Sylvia a bit confused, but she still answered her and they ended up in a warm conversation. Without realizing it, Sylvia who was still a bit naive told more about herself to Elysia.
This planet is called Vrelenia and is divided into 8 main continents.
It has become common knowledge for all the inhabitants of this world that every race on each continent is hostile to each other. Human Continent which is adjacent to Devil Continent and Beast Continent has been fighting unceasingly since a long time ago.
Sylvia was on the Human Continent because she was never allowed by her father to come out of the Devil Continent. Feeling very curious about the other continents, she secretly went to the Human Continent without anyone knowing after Sylvia felt strong enough to protect herself.
Her father was the sole ruler in the Devil Continent by reaching the level of the Devil Emperor and making him feared by many other creatures.
One of them is a human race that does not even dare to fight an all-out war and face the wrath of the Devil Emperor, what they do is just an ordinary war between races that even ingrained in their race that already hates each other.
In Sylvia"s adventure that first entered the Human Continent, she felt excited to see a new scene. On the continent where she lives, besides land, waters, forests, etc. that have an aura of darkness, she cannot find many other interesting things.
Sylvia is absorbed in exploring new nature with dense green forests, fertile soil, and cute little animals cheerfully playing and dancing while the birdsong became like music to her. Unconsciously she had explored very far into the Human Continent.
But the fun did not last long, after playing until late in the afternoon and was about to return home for fear that her father would realize that his daughter had run away quietly.
Before she could return home, Sylvia met a group of people who seemed to be traveling. The group of humans who realized Sylvia"s figure instantly became afraid and immediately attacked her.
Sylvia who thought she was just going to play a little was not aware that she had entered far into the Human Continent and entered the territory of one of the human kingdoms. After feeling attacked and feeling threatened, she can only fight back and eventually kill all the humans.
She, who has a level of 170 against approximately 200 humans with the strongest only at level 82, can quickly slaughter all humans, worried that the news about her being there will spread.
It was not the first time Sylvia killed a human but it was her first experience killing so many humans without mercy.
She has learned quite a lot of her father"s teachings about humans who can be very cunning and greedy along with their other ugliness. Therefore, she does not feel guilty because this is self-defense.
After killing all those humans, she went towards what she thought was the direction of the Devil Continent. But after a day of traveling round and round in the woods without knowing the direction of the way home, making Sylvia nervous because if she gets caught, her father will punish her later.
Until nightfall on the second day since she ran away from home, Sylvia met a very beautiful girl with long golden hair in her hiding place, the girl was so friendly to her unlike what her father said about humans and even the group of humans she had previously met was only straightforward attacked her without further ado.
"So that"s why humans are afraid of my race." Sylvia is still pa.s.sionate about telling many things to people she just met.
"That may be true. But here I am who is not afraid of you~"
"Uh... Well... You"re an exception then." Sylvia now feels a little awkward.
"Well... You killed more than 200 hundred humans and that is your mode of defense from their attacks. It"s their fault for just attacking you without further ado." Elysia said what she thought without knowing the truth, and didn"t realize the owner of her body had been counted on the list.
Sylvia just nodded as if in agreement.
"Um... But after hearing your story, some of that can be true, but not all of it is true. It is always evil in kindness and there is always kindness in evil, we cannot judge a race just because some of them do it that way. Not only humans who do cunning and other bad things like you said before, but all other races can do that too. " Elysia gave her opinion from the conversation and the story earlier.
"Maybe you have a point. But humans are the worst, they are weak but cunning! They always invade our continent!" Sylvia exclaimed, she still insisted on her opinion of humans as if forgetting the person she was talking with was also human.
"Uuu... Calm yourself down. I"m just expressing an opinion, maybe it will be useful to you in the future. Your hatred for humans must have other reasons right?"
Elysia"s inner mind panicked abruptly when she saw the other person suddenly became excited and try to lighten the mood.
Seeing Elysia being overwhelmed, Sylvia immediately calmed herself down remembering Elysia was also a human.
She wondered if she really hated humans like what she said before. To be honest, she felt comfortable being close to Elysia while talking with her.
"Umm... I"m sorry. Oh yes! I haven"t introduced myself to you. I"m Sylvia Transcendent, daughter of the sole ruler of the Devil Continent." Sylvia cheerfully introduces herself to her first friend whom she found after 556 years of age. Even though she was a princess, she didn"t really have friends, there were only servants and subordinates.
"My name is Elysia Avery, nice to meet you, Sylvia." Elysia smiled warmly. It is unknown to the world how scared she is.
"Nice to meet you too, Elysia. Um ... Speaking of which we talked about before, do you want to hear my story?"
Sylvia became slightly depressed after the excitement. Elysia who saw Sylvia"s expression and heard these words remembered about her past, she tried to tell more about herself to her friend but ended up in disappointment and anguish of betrayal.
"... Are you sure about that? You have told a lot about yourself, your status, even your race. You should not easily trust someone, especially someone you just met." Elysia is now giving advice that really came from the bottom of her heart after remembering her dark past.
Sylvia now saw Elysia"s golden eyes with a unique pattern in them with her blood-red eyes. She sees sincerity and kindness there, her 556 years experience isn"t just nonsense, she knows what"s right and wrong for her and it"s easy for her to judge someone.
She knew Elysia was reliable and trusted. Because of that, she told her a lot of information and stories.
"Are you going to hurt me or the people around me?"
"Certainly not." Elysia just answered without thinking too much.
"Then it will be fine! I believe in you!" Sylvia became cheerful and excited again before holding Elysia"s hand and began to tell about her past.
Sylvia"s father once told her about the reason why he hates humans so much and it actually aggravates the situation of the two races.
When he was not yet a Devil Emperor and was only a Devil Saint, he and his wife who had just given birth to their descendants were surrounded by a group of humans at the Saint and Spirit level who were about to kill them. All of these schemes were led by a human at the Emperor level.
The tragedy killed Sylvia"s mother who sacrificed herself to create a gap for her husband to take their newly born daughter to escape by blowing up her energy core and killing many of their enemies.
The tragic incident made her father really hated humans who had killed his wife. Shortly after her father ascended the throne to become a Devil Emperor and the sole ruler of the Devil Continent, he carried out military aggression against the Human Continent.
In the attack hundreds of years ago, it had killed many victims from both sides. However, her father who had vowed to kill humans at the Emperor level who was behind the death of his wife only found an empty royal castle and did not find the Emperor"s existence.
Her angry father could only ravage the kingdom and leave after reinforcements from other kingdoms come. Even today, he is still searching for the Emperor of that kingdom for revenge and the intended kingdom does not dare to appoint a representative of the Emperor after their Emperor disappears without a trace or news.
After that, the human race which was divided into 5 regions on the Human Continent with the orders of the other four Emperors did not carry out a major attack on the Devil Continent, remembering the wrath of the Devil Emperor on one of the human kingdoms and only allowing small warfare to occur which was actually ignored by the Devil Emperor.
Her father only cared for one human Emperor who disappeared and hid somewhere. With hatred being taught little by little to his daughter, it"s no wonder his hatred will go down to his daughter.
