Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 419: The cat that screams
[The practical test will start in three minutes.]
[The objective of the test is to either survive in the <Labyrinth of Malacus> for six days or find the exit points from where you can get out of here.]
[There will be monsters spread out all around the labyrinth. Defeating them will grant you academic points.]
[You can use the item identification lense in your inventory to identify the elements in the surroundings.]
[You can engage in one-on-one battles with the other students if you come across them and the winner will take all the collected points of the loser.]
[You can also create a ’party’ with the other students however, a party will be considered a single entity and their team score will be counted as their ultimate score.]
[The labyrinth is an ancient structure so there are many unique elements that not even the teachers and the headmaster himself have any idea about. Look out for the hidden pieces and treasures.]
"This last part was no joke. This place was really an ancient structure."
Actually, the <Labyrinth of Malacus> originally belonged to an evil elder lich named, obviously, Malacus and many many years ago, the headmaster killed him.
’But the true story goes way beyond that, hehehe. And it’s kinda funny.’
The place we were currently in was situated somewhere deep inside the high mountains of the northern continent, a place mostly untouched by the human population.
At the start, it was just a normal mountain, but then its first ever inhabitants became the [Frost Orcs], a race of ancient time that has almost gone extinct in today’s time.
They were powerful creatures, and in today’s time, even a young one of their tribe would be considered a <B> rank monster, their elders and highest ranking worriers being stronger than <SS> ranks.
’They lived there for a few centuries, but then they planet went through an extreme tectonic change and the mountain that was engulfed in ice, became a burning volcanic plains, causing the end of those cute Orcs. And then came [Fire Ekikis], a race that’s only found in the ends of the southern continent in current times.’
They were humanoid creatures like orcs, calling them fire orcs wouldn’t be wrong too since they had evolved from the orcs and lesser fire demons, but these cuties were peace loving and were nothing like demons.
’They loved there for few centuries but then some wandering demon viscount stumbled upon this fine~ piece of land and opened the gate to hell in the middle of it, making the place that only looked like hell, into actual part of the hell.’
The angels didn’t like this shit though, so they attacked the bastard in bunch, fucked the shit out of him and drove him back to his homeland, appointing a powerful holy beast as the gurdian of this now purified land.
’That cutie also guarded this place for a few millennia, but then the great tectonic shift happened again, and the plains were again turned into the high mountains.’
This planet has faced many of these tectonic shifts but six of them are called ’great tectonic shifts’ or at least, that’s what I call them.
This was the second one, and the place was turned into a mountain, but not covered by snow but classic greenaries.
The mountain range became a forest area where diverse kinds and types of creatures resided and this was the time the world saw the most prosperity in terms of evolution and stuff.
It stayed like that for a long time after that and there were many great creatures who lived in this place, but, after a long ass time, the third and most catastrophic tectonic shifts happened and the world turned into what we see it today as, a planet of four continents shaped like a primogem, four kite shaped continent with a very dangerous landmass in the centre of them all.
’And then shit started.’
Everything that lived here had already died and were either buried or had returned to their origin. So, the new beings of the new era started fighting over the remaining world.
’The very first Great War of this planet that’s not written in history books started, and this land was a hot cheesecake.’
Some grand shits had happened on this piece of land so not only demons considered it theirs but even the holy faction considered it theirs.
And to make things worse, a dragon, a real one and not a draconic spiecies, descended on this mountain range and started building its layer here.
’Which pissed everyone off.’
The demons attacked that dragon with their forces, the angels, the advocates of Worldline, actully fucking joined forceds with demons to take the dragons down, lol.
They all still failed though. Those shitty dragons and dumb angels were no match for a true dragon, a divine existence above the godly beings they all worshiped.
’The dragon lived there for a long time, fended off whatever invaded her land mercilessly, hatched her three eggs and when they were mature enough, she took off with them to find a better place for their training, leaving the throne all alone.’
And the demons and angels were also bored from this land. It was mostly an ice mountain anyway, the one least in demand at that time.
It belonged to no one, so, creatures started living here again. Normal creatures, and creatures of higher intelligence.
’This time, the main natives became [Ice elves].’
They were strong, were creatures of nature, and they were intelligent.
Their kind was blessed by nature and mana and seeing from the evolutionary perspective, they were a separate kind that had mutated from a variant of demon-angel mixbloods.
But that’s just a lore of this planet, other places have different lore so it’s ultimately different everywhere.
The elves made these mountains their homes, but, they were surface dwellers. The insides of the mountains, especially, the dragon nest was still empty.
’So, now came the humans of ancient times, and were killed on the same day they set foot on this land.’
Hehehe. Total annihilation. Everyone died. Everyone except one person.
’The antagonist of this whole fucking history, lol.’
He was someone that survived from the elve’s attack, managed to preserve his life, and accidentally found a certain cave in the process.
He took refuge there, and mourned over the death of his beautiful wife and daughter...
He was a normal human man, a wounded normal human man who had lost everything at the hands of those wretched elves.
’Which obviously leads to a revenge plot.’
He was normal man, but the cave he had ended up belonged to the angel faction of the older times, and the things he found out among the countless ancient treasures there, was a certain book containing sinister powers.
’The grimoire of dark truths: Tairaz.’
That good shit still is somewhere inside this labyrinth but, we ain’t nearly strong enough to get that kinda overpowered thing.
