Book 2: Chapter 52: Rest and Questions

Scarlet

After we get back to our tower, we find it to actually be rather peaceful. Which is a nice surprise.

Turns out one group of two Guardians did arrive, but they also retreated before the battle could get very intense for no apparent reason.

Although Michael believes their tower was being attacked and they were called back or something.

The plan from here on out though is simply for us to camp at our tower since weve already dealt with one team and therefore cleared any hidden rules the round mightve had. So theres no reason to go out hunting another team down.

Better to let them fight amongst themselves for the time being while we fully protect our own core.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Not to mention that it lets me finish my healing in peace.

At that thought, I look out the window Im leaning up against, just enjoying the view as my left arm continues healing. By now the thing is mostly attached again, even if its still not even close to finished healing. But thats enough to fight at least.

And for the pain to not be enough to really bother me thanks to pain diffusion.

I love that skill.

A lot of people would kill for a skill like that, so it makes sense, Tar says, and I cant help but nod with a smile.

It is a very nice skill. Also makes me wonder if there is an even higher rarity version of it.

There is, Tar says, surprising me. A lot of the mythic skills are rather well known amongst the fae, Knights, and noble demons. So I know most of Whites mythic skills as well. But Im not allowed to tell you any of them except for the mythic skill version of the one you have.

Wait, youre actually allowed to tell me something?!

Tar doesnt say anything for a few seconds before apparently deciding to ignore my remark as he says, The mythic version of Pain Diffusion is Sense Nullification. And it lets you completely nullify any amount of any sense in both you and others. And it doesnt require the sensation to be felt at a later point. In fact, its the skill she often uses to eliminate other peoples ability to see her when she doesnt want to be seen.

Interesting.

I want that skill.

Come to think of it, do you think I got any mythic skills from my fathers side?

Tar doesnt say anything, making my eyes widen at the implication.

So I did inherit a mythic skill from my father?

Tar still doesnt say anything, clearly showing that he isnt allowed to speak about it.

Wow. Looks like dear ol dad is more important than I thought

What blood lycans have etched mythic skills anyways? You should be able to answer this, right?

Correct, Tar answers right away. There are currently seven demons who have earned mythic skills. These include the Demon King, the four Demon Lords, the leader of the Argus branch of blood lycans, and the leader of the leader of the Morningstar branch of the Oni.

So there are other blood lycans outside of the royal family that have mythic skills.

Maybe my father was an outcast of the Argus branch?

Actually, what are these branches anyways? Just powerful families in their clans?

Basically, Tar answers as I continue staring out the window. Theyre kind of like the royal family in that they limit their bloodline from spreading, but they dont do it to anywhere near the extreme the royal family does it. So there are plenty of people not officially in their branch that have their mythic skill etched in their genes as an achievement locked skill that no one has unlocked as of today.

Interesting.

I cant help but wonder who my father is now. Because he has to be more important than I thought if he is connected to one of those branch things, right?

Tar doesnt answer.

I let out a sigh before glancing at the others to find them all standing guard at the stairs and balconies, trusting that my hearing will find anyone who approaches long before they get here. Which it will.

After a few seconds, I turn back to look out the window again.

I wish my wound would hurry up and heal.
