Chapter 407 Ratylous and the mystery...
Ratyous took a deep breath, it had taken him more than 500 years of preparation to be able to enter this place.
He could not allow himself to fail. If he failed, all his efforts and plans would fall apart.
He went inside, this was the room where Hikaru had met Narita before.
"It can't be!!!" Ratylous screamed when he saw that the room was completely empty, there was nothing but four walls with bizarre images.
On the ground were cold bricks, without anything of value left.
Ratylous hurriedly entered the room, and looked around. He discovered traces of many items that were once placed here, however, now this place was completely empty.
"This is…" Ratylous touched the ground, which seemed to have once held something rectangular.
"This is probably the location of the coffin… but… why? Why is this place empty? I can't accept this!"
"Damn it!"
"Who? Who took everything away! I won't accept this."
"AAAA!!!"
Ratylous howled miserably like a madman. He seemed to have completely gone insane.
"No! My plan! My strength! No!!!" Ratyous shouted.
He started casting devastating magic all over the room.
BAM!
Suddenly, the magic that collided with the wall was completely absorbed, it did not cause any damage nor did it leave a scratch.
Ratyous suddenly snapped out of his rampage, he then looked at the wall that had strange shapes.
He frowned, then used magic. He didn't need to chant any magic spells, nor did any magic circles appear.
At his level, he didn't need to use such things. A small orb the size of a basketball with destructive power appeared in his hand.
Ratyous then threw the orb towards the wall.
In the next instant, the orb didn't do any damage to the wall or explode as fiercely as Ratylous had thought.
That energy ball hit the wall and fused with it. Then, a beam of light began to move around the wall like neon lights.
Ratyous stood still, watching the light trail on the wall, then frowned. He immediately used magic, and energized the four surrounding walls.
Ratyous's energy was like electricity, as it made the four walls shine.
At this point, the drawings on the wall seemed to be moving.
Ratyous saw what he thought was a monstrous creature moving in a dark space, surrounded by countless small spheres and spots of light.
That creature was like a kind of seed, and it moved very fast in that dark space. If Hikaru had seen this image, he would have known that it was a comet.
The comet was moving at a tremendous speed, as it approached a sphere.
The point of view changed, as the comet got closer to the sphere in front of him, Ratylous immediately realized that it was this world, it was Misty World when viewed from above.
BAM!
The comet fell on the ground, creating a terrible explosion. The ground cracked like spider webs, and it spread for thousands of kilometers.
A shockwave emitting tremendous heat spread to the surroundings. Everything within 10,000 kilometers was destroyed and burned in an instant.
The ground caved into a hole that was more than 10 kilometers wide, and 500 meters deep.
The comet was located in the middle of the crater like an ember, as it emitted an extremely hot temperature.
Suddenly, the comet split in two, revealing a magic circle inside.
That magic circle instantly enlarged countless times, becoming a kind of strange magic that Ratylous had never seen before.
Right after that, a portal appeared from that magic. The portal was over 100 meters high, and more than 10 meters wide. It was made up of two closed gates like a giant stone leaf protruding from the ground.
The gate slowly opened, behind that gate was a chaotic space. Countless people flew out from that space, bringing with them terrifying monsters.
Even Ratyous could see people riding on the backs of dragons.
"Dragons?! I can't believe such powerful creatures were being ridden by people. Could it be… the people who came out from that gate are all gods?"
Ratyous thought in his heart. Because he couldn't imagine how strong one needed to be to subdue a dragon and make it a mount.
However, Ratyous immediately denied that thought because he realized that the people who had just emerged from the gate were mixed-bloods.
That's right, they all had animal ears or tails, or have parts that are characteristic of another race.
All of them were mixed-bloods.
"What the hell? In ancient times, did mixed-bloods become so powerful?"
"Impossible. If they are so horrible, why are they now slaves that are despised and trampled by everyone ?"
The image suddenly changed, he then saw a girl wearing a white robe, with a yellow scarf around her neck.
Ratyous immediately recognized it as the Pope's attire. However, he couldn't see the Pope's face clearly, but he knew that it was a girl.
It was like she was surrounded by a layer of fog.
The Pope saw that the people who emerged from the monstrous portal were killing all the creatures of this world and looting all the resources.
Those mixed-bloods began to transport the resources of this world to another world behind the gate.
Of course, it didn't stop there. Those mixed-bloods began raping women and destroying the countless kingdoms of this world.
"Could it be… the mixed-blooded people of this world were created by those mixed-bloods?"
Ratylous frowned, as he let his thoughts run wild. Still, he kept trying to see what would happen.
The female Pope saw this scene and couldn't sit still anymore. She led the inhabitants of this world to protest.
However, it seems that the mixed-blooded people were much stronger. He even saw 5 mixed-blooded people who could easily defeat the female Pope.
The female Pope was defeated and fled. She returned to the Sanctuary, and entered a crypt for more than 50 years.
In the 50 years that the female Pope disappeared inside the catacombs, the mixed-bloods from another world seemed to have become the rulers of this world.
Suddenly, after 50 years, the female Pope returned with a new strength. She easily defeated all those mixed-bloods and sealed the portal.
After that, the pope also enacted a law that made the remaining mixed-blood people slaves or to be killed on sight.
Of course, the remaining mixed-blooded people in this world were the children of the mixed-blooded people from the portal.
The pope didn't want to kill too many people, but she also didn't want the mixed-blooded people to once again destroy this world.
In the end, she decided to suppress the mixed-blood to the point of making their social position a slave, no, they were worse than slaves.
However, after repelling the enemy and sealing the portal, that Female Pope also ceased to be Pope.
She gave the papacy to someone else, then entered the tomb she had previously entered to gain new powers.
Afterward…
The story ends here, as the Pope never appears again.
The light on the four walls slowly dimmed, then completely disappeared. Although the light of the Misty Lamp was enough to illuminate the surroundings, the drawings on the wall seemed to have disappeared.
In the end, this place was left with only 4 plain walls and some cold and useless rocks.
"Is that all?" Ratyous saw everything in darkness and frowned and shouted: "Damn it! You showed me the past for what? I don't need it!"
"I need strength! I need to become a Saint!"
"I…"
"Hahaha…" Suddenly, a laugh appeared out of nowhere that startled Ratylous.
"You want power?"
"Do you want to become a Saint?"
"Hahaha… I will give you everything…"
Ratylous looked around startled, he didn't see anyone. The surroundings were dark, and even though the Misty Lamp he was holding in his hand was a special type, it couldn't illuminate the surroundings.
No, to be more precise, the surrounding darkness was slowly devouring the light from the Misty Lamp.
Gradually the darkness was surrounding Ratyous and approaching him.
"Who are you?" Ratyous shouted. He waved his hand, and countless energy spheres flew around him as if protecting him.
"I? Hahaha… I am a god… I can give you the same power that the Female Pope possessed."
"You… are you telling the truth?"
"Of course."
"Hahaha…" Ratylous suddenly laughed: "Nothing in this world is free. Tell me, what do you want me to do.. or… what do you want from me."
"You are indeed a smart person… I like talking to smart people." The voice spoke again.
"What I want is simple… hahaha…"
…
Outside, Rafos had not left, instead he stood in a secret place, about 20 kilometers from the ancient ruins.
He frowned, and felt a little worried. Rafos never told Ratylous that the place had been completely plundered by the Void Lord.
"Rafos!"
"Ah!!" Rafos was a little startled, he turned his head to see Ratylous looking at him fiercely .
Rafos immediately bowed his head, and knelt on the ground like he usually did when he was also known as 'Number 3'.
"You let me down, Rafos…"
Rafos took a deep breath, he felt that the pressure created by Ratylous was even more intense than Sarinba's own.
It was like he was facing a bloodthirsty monster. If he dared to breathe, he would surely die.
"Why isn't there anything inside the ancient ruins?"
Rafos was a little shaken, he took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said: "The void Lord… has come and taken everything away."
"Oh! So… why didn't you tell me?"
"I… I thought it was just a ploy created by the Sanctuary. They created that story to claim the ancient ruins for themselves." Rafos said: "Anyway, the ancient ruins are guarded very strictly by the army of the Sanctuary, so who can get inside?"
As Ratyous listened to Rafos he felt that this was a little reasonable, then, Ratylous laughed and said: "Ah! Do not worry. If that's the case then I don't think it's your fault, however…"
"No!! NOOO!!!"
