Chapter 231 The Origin of [Pillar]
"But first, can you tell me how you found out?"
Wu Sheng asked gently.
"This operation will inevitably sacrifice the names of many people. Except for [Ghost Pillar] Ghost King, others such as Yan Zhu have all died in this operation."
"Why do you think that [Ghost Pillar] Ghost King's death was designed by me?"
After a moment of silence, the girl spoke slowly.
"In this operation, the Hundred Ghosts were released as a bait."
"Whether Principal Bai Qi leaves the academy or not, the Ghost King will be killed. The only difference is who kills him."
"And [Snake Pillar] Mi Dou is still there. Although she is also used as a bait to confuse the enemy, you should also have thought about the plan of going over and finishing the attack when the Ghost King is seriously injured."
"So you had no intention of giving up the Ghost King from the very beginning."
Wu Sheng smiled.
"Everything you said is right. I asked him to die from the very beginning."
"But one thing you may not know is that I told him the entire plan before doing all this."
"He...he knows!?"
The girl was startled.
"He knew...so why did he go?"
As soon as the girl asked, she already guessed a possibility.
"Does he... just want to seek death?"
Wu Sheng did not answer her question directly, but touched his forehead protector, and then spoke slowly.
"Shui Zhu, I remember your original name was Du Shasha... The Du family is also one of the top ten aristocratic families in Kyushu. As the eldest daughter of the Du family, you originally had the most brilliant future."
"Not only that, you are also one of the direct descendants of Granny Mei, the dean of the [Magic Academy]. You have an S-level inheritance and are the Rider Medusa in the FATE world. If nothing else happens, you will become a member of the Magic Academy with the help of your family. A new generation of deans.”
"But do you still remember how you came to the organization?"
The tall man Wu Sheng asked softly.
"of course I remember."
"That was the first time that as a graduate, I teamed up with two classmates from the college to enter the Demon Realm for internship."
"However, not long after entering the Demon Realm, we encountered a supernatural weather space-time cloud. The three of us were involved in the cloud and were transported to an unknown area far away from the border of Kyushu."
"It was also there that we met... the eighth-level monster Rayquaza!"
"I have seen it in the academy's monster illustration. It is a monster from the [Pokémon] world. It is said that it lives in the ozone layer above the clouds and can control the weather. It only appeared in the first Red Moon Beast Tide. It briefly appeared over Kyushu Island."
"But we just encountered it, on the ground! Rayquaza is not a cruel monster, but that time it was as if it was being chased by a more ferocious monster, panicking and violent."
"Just when it appeared, the hurricane rising in the sky swept my two companions into the sky."
"I was almost torn apart by its strong winds, until I saw you and the Ghost King."
"You worked together to disperse Rayquaza and rescued me back to the base [Ame Hidden Village]."
The girl took a long breath and spoke again.
"Although I was already the strongest student at the Magic Academy at the time, and the inheritance of [Medusa] had been developed by me by nearly 80%, I was powerless to fight back against the eighth-level monster [Rayquaza]. "
"That feeling of powerlessness is deeply imprinted in my heart."
"After that, I knew that the power of [Magic Academy] was too weak. No, even the strongest academy in Kyushu [Monster Hunter] Academy looked ridiculous in the face of this threat."
"So I wanted to seek the protection of greater power, so I joined the [Pillar] organization."
"And when I was swept into the sky by Rayquaza, I saw the monster chasing it."
[Water Column] Du Shasha finished speaking slowly.
Wu Sheng nodded.
"Actually, after rescuing you, the Ghost King and I returned to the scene."
"Do you know why Rayquaza fell from the sky to the ground in an unusual way?"
"That's because there is a more powerful monster hunting it behind it."
"That's dozens of monsters, covering the sky and the sun, and each one has a pressure no less than Rayquaza."
"And behind the group of monsters, there are four monsters that are so huge that they almost stand tall on the sky."
"With just a glance, the Ghost King and I felt so deeply frightened that we froze in place and barely dared to move."
"Especially the Ghost King. He sensed that the aura of one of the four monsters was very familiar to him."
"That was a horse king monster that almost crushed the seven-star monster vampire to death and left huge hoof prints on the ground."
"Beside the Horse King, there are three monsters similar in size to him."
"But what's really terrifying is the way these four monsters are driven. Every step makes the earth tremble. It's like the monsters are squeezed together by countless monsters."
"I can no longer judge the strength of this monster. Is it tenth level? Or higher?"
"This kind of monster, even if it wants to destroy the world, it will be easy."
Wu Sheng closed his eyes, as if he was trying hard to recall the face of the monster.
[Water Pillar] The girl looked straight at him. Although she was also surprised that a world-destroying monster was born in the Demon Realm, she was even more confused.
"What... does this have to do with us?"
Wu Sheng pointed to a map on the table. This was the map of the demon domain and Jiuzhou that he had drawn over hundreds of years.
"Do you know that Jiuzhou is the only country on this blue planet?"
"Under the invasion of demon beasts, countless countries died in this demon beast carnival."
"Why did Jiuzhou not get destroyed for such a long time? Is it the powerful national defense formation? Or is it because of the powerful heroic guards?"
"None! It's just good luck."
"No demon beasts above level 8 invaded Jiuzhou. This is the only reason Jiuzhou can survive."
"And now, I have deduced the route of the group of super high-level demon beasts. They will pass by Jiuzhou."
"Just passing by, Jiuzhou will be destroyed."
"This is the fate of death that our human world cannot escape sooner or later!"
Wu Sheng said heavily.
"Two hundred years ago, as the first dean, although I sealed the seven-star monster Nine-Tail, I was also seriously injured."
"In order to maintain the deterrence of the academy, I resigned from the position of the dean of the Monster Hunter Dean, and then went to the monster domain alone for ten years."
"After seeing the law of the jungle in the monster domain, I realized how ridiculous it is to protect the weak in the world of Kyushu."
"I survived the attacks of monsters beyond imagination time and time again, and by chance, I gained a new power."
"That is the power of [Jinchūriki]."
