CHAPTER 37: MAYBE SOMEDAY PART 2
Master Sonu looked at Adrian, he knew that he was a boy from a distant city, even the nearest sect of cultivators was thousands of kilometers away.
The people in these places survived by obtaining cultivation books left behind by the sects that were destroyed in the past, as in this place spiritual energy was scarce, the most anyone could reach was the eighth or tenth level of Qi condensation.
However, the curses were different, no one knew what they fed on, but the passage of time made them stronger, so much so that there were even some that were really problematic for humans and all races in general.
But seeing that his disciple had a question, he decided to answer it with a smile.
"This happened over a hundred thousand years ago, when the Face of the Devil appeared in the sky, he didn't speak, he didn't open his eyes either, he just started destroying all life. From that destruction and death, little by little the beings known as curses began to be born, every time the face of the Devil woke up, it caused everything to die. However, in the face of such an event our Sovereigns, Kings and Emperor joined in a crusade to try to eliminate the Face of the Devil, it was the first time that all of humanity was united for a single cause, under a single flag, but, despite the fierce war, we ended up losing" – Master Sonu's expression became solemn as he remembered all the great names that humanity lost in that war.
"Why did we lose?" – Adrián asked, nowhere in the books he had read did he have information about such an event.
"Tired of our domination, the different races gathered their forces into one and started an attack on our entire Human race, in that time we had become arrogant, so we ended up losing fight after fight, until we reached the land of our Emperor, the World Fate Emperor, but even with the strength of the World Fate Emperor and his millions of troops, a large part of our domains suffered a crushing defeat, it was not only the races who allied themselves, but also beasts, demons and ancient devils woke up and attacked together, it really was very devastating." – When Master Sonu spoke, it was as if you could see his memories, memories of a war which crushed all regions of the Human Race.
However, he seemed not to be sad, his voice rising remembering those stories.
"But despite that defeat, the human race never gave up, even when our Sovereigns and Kings fell one after another! Humanity has always risen! Never forget this, my disciples... we are human!" – When Master Sonu's voice rose, the sky opened, splitting to reveal on the horizon a sun which seemed to fall to give way to night.
A breeze of wind passed through Adrian's face. And as if it were part of the gaze of the sky, suddenly the sky began to draw several bodies, each one wearing a shining armor, accompanied by a different weapon, which seemed to end all life on the world. However, all those bodies had no faces.
When Master Sonu saw them, he pointed them out.
"The human race has survived because we stand together! Let's never forget that we are cultivators who are going against the sky, we are going against all races, we are going against the gods and demons!"
Master Sonu looked very excited when he looked at all those figures, Adrian could feel a huge aura coming from each one, those auras seemed to be heading towards a specific place.
The weapon of each of them was pointing towards the sky towards a point that Adrian knew well, that was towards the Face of the Demon.
"You asked me before, that if I could make you strong enough to kill that Demon, I can't promise you that you can do it... but..." – Master Sonu looked at all those great figures, paused for a while, while suddenly his figure also appeared in front of all those heroic warriors.
This made Adrian and Bai Guoer astonished.
"As long as I'm alive! I promise you that I will do everything possible to fulfill your dream!" – His voice resounded loudly in Adrian's ears, he could feel that it was a promise which would remain stored in his soul, something that could only be said to a disciple.
When Adrian heard Master Sonu's story, he began to understand several things, and to understand a little more about the world where he lived, really, I never expected humanity to have such a history, I really couldn't understand the magnitude that such battles must have been.
After giving that talk to his disciples, Master Sonu brought everything back to normal. It was only a wisp caused by his strength, which showed a change in the entire sky.
Master Sonu felt content telling them a little bit of the past.
For now, though, the future looked bleak.
However, part of Master Sonu's story had been engraved in Adrian's head, and that was the birth of the curses.
"If the Face of the Devil created them, why do curses follow my orders? – Adrián asked himself, he knew that the mask had abilities that he didn't know, but everything was still shrouded in a fog of mystery that he had to solve.
After Master Sonu told them such a story he took them to their personal quarters inside the ship, really the trip they were making, was a long one, it would take them several months to reach the Holy Church of Motzu, even at maximum speed.
Adrian understood why he didn't want to waste time, so he began to study Mr. Pill's notes even more.
He wanted to become a high-level alchemist.
