Chapter 1408 Unexpected Development (2)
Confusion happened as the other eighteen elves did not know what to do. Dewil and Yasi gave contradicting orders. They did not know who to listen to.
"What happened? Explain yourself Yasi!" The third Demi-God Rank in the team came near Yasi and Dewil.
"He is the human who will destroy The Osligia Kingdom's ten years of peace. We have to stop him from meeting Goddess Lunea!" Yasi pointed his finger at Tang Shaoyang.
That confused Dewil and the third Demi-God Rank. They could not tell the relation between the peace, Goddess Lunea, and this foreign human.
"There's never been peace for us! We have been fighting the Clown Troupe for the last eight years. What peace are you talking about?" The Third Demi-God Rank raised his voice.
"If you let him meet Goddess Lunea. The barrier will be lifted, and we will face a worse situation. Those human Gods will come for us!"
The answer was unexpected as it brought a deep silence between the elves, including Dewil. No one made noise, and Tang Shaoyang calmed down a little after hearing that.
"How do you know about this, Yasi?" The Third Demi-God Rank asked in a deep voice.
"High Priest Estia told me about it. If a person named Tang Shaoyang ever comes, don't let him enter the Temple of Light or just kill him. The barrier will disappear if he meets Goddess Lunea!"
"And?" Dewil turned toward Yasi, "How are you going to answer Goddess Lunea if she knows? What if Goddess Lunea already knows what you are doing right now? Not only we will lose the barrier, but we will face Goddess Lunea's wrath."
"Goddess Lunea will never know about this if we kill him!" A feminine voice rang in the air. A woman with a white cloak landed next to the three Demi-God Ranks.
"Goddess Lunea is currently sealed by The System because she crossed her authority. She crossed her authority to build this barrier. The price for that is that her body is sealed inside The Temple of Light."
"The foundation of the barrier is Goddess Lunea's body. As long as we maintain the seal, we will maintain the barrier. However, Goddess Lunea told us before she was sealed by The System that a man named Tang Shaoyang would come and break the seal for her. So yeah, if we want to maintain the seal, then we must not let this man get to the Temple of Light."
"High Priest Estia!" The three Demi-God Ranks called her name respectfully.
Tang Shaoyang noticed the difference. Exalted Priest and High Priest, meaning it was two different people who wanted him to meet Goddess Lunea and the person who tried to prevent him from meeting Lunea.
"So, yes, Goddess Lunea will never know if we kill him. If later Goddess Lunea breaks the seal and asks us, we can just tell her that the person named Tang Shaoyang never came. Make your choice, Sir Dewil and Sir Levani!"
"Will you let him meet Goddess Lunea and lose the barrier or will you kill him and maintain the barrier? The future of the Osligia Kingdom is in your hands!"
Tang Shaoyang finally understood why this elf named Yasi did not even bother to contact the Temple of Light from the start. The male elf already knew his identity and wanted him dead.
Then he shook his head, "I guess stupid people will mingle with other stupid people."
"Let's say you maintain the barrier now, but what if the other God Ranks break your beloved barrier in the future? How are you going to protect yourself from them?"
"In another ten years, The Temple might be able to produce ten or maybe twenty or maybe even a hundred of God Ranks. How are you going to fight them? You all are stuck in Demi-God rank while you stay in this barrier while your enemy grows stronger each year."
"This barrier is just giving you temporary peace, not the peace you dream of. The only way for you to get the peace you want is to be strong enough until the others don't dare to invade your territory anymore."
"Shut your mouth, you filthy demon!" High Priest Estia raised her voice, "We don't need your opinion because we will achieve peace with our way!"
"Even a Demon is smarter than you. The Temple never launched a full invasion of their territory because they know how to protect themselves better than you. Pitiful frogs who enjoy their lives in their narrow well," It became more interesting than he thought.
It seemed Lunea's decision created two factions in her temple. One faction wanted to hide inside this barrier forever, and another faction wanted to do the task given by their Goddess. The decision was left in The Osligia Kingdom's hands.
He might have to face the whole kingdom, but it would not stop him. That was his oath with Rumru who had brought him so far. Without Rumru's bloodline, he might have died many times already. The Dragon Bloodline was the key factor for him to clear all thirty waves in each trial.
If it meant that he had to slaughter the whole kingdom, he would bring Rumru's wife and daughter back alive.
"If that's what Goddess Lunea wants, then I will do it for her. I will bring him to meet Goddess Lunea," Dewil made an unexpected decision, "She is sealed, and we have the key to open the seal, and yet her High Priest wants Goddess Lunea to remain sealed."
"And I agree with him. This barrier might be protecting us from The Clown Troupe, but this barrier also limits our growth. We can't get stronger than a Demi-God Rank."
Dewil walked past Yasi and was about to go down when a blade went through his chest from behind. The sword pierced through his heart, and it was Yasi's sword. He saved Yasi from Tang Shaoyang, and Yasi paid him with a blade in the heart.
But then a sword flashed to Dewil's head, severing the elf's head. Levani also sided with the High Priest Estia, "I will protect my home and land as long as I can. I don't care about the future as long as I can save my kingdom today!"
