The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 165 Nerphyl’s Hope

The distance of three meters was not a great distance even for a creature as small as a sylph. Nerphyl could have flapped her wings and jumped flying then landed on Moku's shoulder in an instant. But three meters will be a different story when Moku releases his killing intent in full.

Moku is a being who has crossed the limits of his astral body, so it can be said that the possibility of an orc capable of colliding with him is completely non-existent. Transgressing the limits of the astral body also means that Moku has reached the perfect point of body development in this world.

You can imagine how it feels to face the killing intent of such a creature. A sylph who dares to face Moku's killing intent is like a rabbit fighting a dragon's roar. But luckily Nerphyl was a rabbit who wasn't afraid of the dragon's roar.

Not because she was special among the other sylphs but because she was used to it and had more tenacity than the other sylphs. Nerphyl is a sylph who is charged with the responsibility of being the queen, for her leading a sylph is just one task and another task is to be an example for other sylphs. Because of that Nerphyl forced herself to always be ahead of the other sylphs in any field. Including Tortured.

Nerphyl stepped on her feet undaunted. With each step she felt as if a large rock had been raised above her head. Making Nerphyl's body bend but that didn't stop her in her tracks.

Even so, she still couldn't flap her wings and fly. At three meters away, Nerphyl was already in survival mode.

Moku's overflowing killing intent suddenly woke up Mutated Tiger. But because she was only one meter behind Moku, her eyes quickly turned white again and fainting.

Nerphyl continued to walk slowly step by step until she reached a distance of two meters from Moku. At this distance, she was already starting to feel like her body was being stabbed by needles. Cold sweat started to wet her clothes and Nerphyl's face quickly turned pale.

But Nerphyl continued to walk, although slowly but the tempo of her steps did not slow down or stop. Nerphyl knew if she ran right now she would easily pass out. She had to familiarize her mind with Moku's killing intent step by step. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

At a distance of two and a half meters from Moku, Nerphyl's consciousness began to be disturbed, her heart pounding like the sound of galloping horses. Nerphyl knew that by now her body had begun to resist the orders of her mind.

As a living being, the desire to continue living was natural for her. Her body will struggle when it feels heat and will move away when it feels danger. Therefore, currently what Nerphyl is fighting is not only Moku's killing intent but also her body's desire to survive.

Nerphyl's body started to shiver and her steps began to stagger but she bit her teeth and forced her feet to keep going. Nerphyl wouldn't back down not at this close range.

When she was only a meter away from Moku, Nerphyl's body was no longer able to stand up straight. Her hands had to help her walk though to the point she was creeping. Nerphyl had already started walking on all fours.

An unseemly sight of a queen.

Nerphyl's eyes were already bulging with red veins running down their sides. Cold sweat kept pouring down her body and made her footing slippery. But Nerphyl didn't care and forced herself to move on.

Moku looked at Nerphyl who had touched his toes with a smile on his face. He respected and admired his wife's tenacity, Nerphyl had already shown that a queen's determination could not be underestimated.

But he wasn't that surprised by Nerphyl's ability to deal with his killing intent because he wasn't fully expelling it at the moment. If Moku was serious then he could have killed Nerphyl from three meters away with his killing intent. But this time he was not fighting his enemy but training and testing his wife's mentality.

Because of that Moku held back his killing intent a little and made several levels that Nerphyl and other Vithaen division's sylph had to go through.

The first level is that from a distance of three to two meters from him, Moku will issue less than one-eighth of his killing intent.

The second level is that from a distance of two to one and a half meters from him, Moku will issue less than one-sixth of his killing intent.

The third level is that from a distance of one and a half to one meter from him, Moku will release less than a quarter of his killing intent.

The fourth level is from a distance of one meter to touching his body, Moku will issue a third of his killing intent.

The fifth level is when the sylph has reached his thigh and up his shoulder, Moku will release half of his killing intent.

Moku did this so that the Vithaen division's sylph could get used to killing intent per level and train their mental strength to face death. Moku did not issue all of his killing intent with the aim so there will no Sylphs were killed.

Even though there were survivors from the full power of his killing intent, the result wasn't something Moku wanted. Because in the end they will not fear death, which is a dangerous thing and can make a warrior cripple. Someone who is not afraid of death is just a robot or puppet who has no passion for survival.

Nerphyl had already made it to Moku's thigh, this was a level that had never been crossed before. Nerphyl was always stuck at this point and was forced to hold on without making any progress. But this time Nerphyl wasn't going back anymore.

She had already found something that could push her to break through this level.

What is the best weapon against the fear of death?

Every living being will surely die. If there is a beginning then there must be an end. No matter how strong someone is, no matter how rich, and no matter how powerful, everything will disappear when the time of death come. They would just leave a lifeless body buried in the ground and eaten by worms.

Then what is life for if all that is sought will be lost with death? Why all the hard work and bloody struggle if all of that will be eroded and disappear over time?

That is the true meaning of death, the eraser of all-thing.

But Nerphyl found the answer, she found it after meditating under the Bitter Maja's waterfall. At that time Nerphyl saw a fish being eaten by a bigger fish which was then also eaten by another bigger fish.

Nerphyl saw that each fish was always fighting for its life, looking for food and hiding from predators who would eat it. If the fish could survive without being eaten, it would only be alive until a few years old, less than half of Nephyl's current age. Then why is it trying to survive?

Nerphyl then saw the fish eggs hidden from behind the rock. There are so many of them and if they all hatch, the river in front of her will be filled with these fish. It was then that Nerphyl understood what life meant.

Live is a hope... A hope for the next generation to come!

That's why she didn't want to be left behind by Nevare and Nezena. She wants to have a child who will carry on her dream. To prove that she exists in this world. Be the successor of all her dreams. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

She doesn't want to have children other than with Moku. It was her duty as a queen to give birth to a king's child. If she didn't have this ability then she was a crippled queen and her existence was not needed in the Wilwatikta Kingdom.

Similarly, the fish continues to struggle for life every day even though she has to face fierce predators with death always within an inch of her. It was the same with the monsters currently fighting against tens of thousands of Quadruple Arachnids without fear. It's the same with her mother and brothers and sisters who were willing to sacrifice themselves to bequeath The Eyes of Queen to her.

That's why Nerphyl won't be afraid of death!

Her shivering body and white eyes recovered again. This never-before-seen spirit and determination in her small body burned all of Nerphyl's fears.

She gripped Moku's shirt tightly and pulled her body up towards Moku's shoulders. Her every grip was filled with a burning determination to survive.

The hope is that after going through this she would be able to give Sylph and Wilwatikta Kingdom the next generation of kings. This time she would not flinch. This time she will not back down.

If she has to die then let her die after giving birth to her child later!

Nerphyl continued to rise with burning eyes. Moku looked at that wide-eyed. He was amazed and there was a desire for him to challenge Nerphyl's spirit by releasing all his killing intent.

But Moku restrained himself, Nerphyl wasn't Claire that he didn't care about her life and death. Nerphyl is his wife, even though he doesn't love her like he loves Nevare, but Moku will still protect Nerphyl with his life. Because it is the duty of a husband.

Nerphyl kept creeping up, her graceful dress no longer neat, her beautifully flowing hair drenched in sweat. But Nerphyl didn't care about that, she just kept going up and up.

Until she reached Moku's shoulders and forced herself to stand up straight. Moku dispelled his killing intent, Nerphyl had already passed his test.

Nerphyl saw Moku's red eyes. She smiled, and in a small voice she said "Moku, am I worthy to bear your child?"

Nerphyl lost consciousness and fell from Moku's shoulder. Moku greeted her gently with both palms saying "You are more than worthy, my wife"
