《Jormungandr's calamity》Book 1: Chapter 22 : History
Advertisement
Cro was in front and as I was about to tell him all that had just happened to me I stopped dead in my tracks. Indeed if I told him what had just happened to me, he might be drawn into my problems so as long as I keep it secret I will be the only person targeted by this Satan but is it really him who made me appear in this world.
So I had two things to look for: Who this Satan really was and what he wanted from me, and I had to learn Latin to be able to translate the message that was left for me.
Now, what lie should I give Cro. While I was still searching for a huge influx of information storming through my mind.
It was a legacy of the different abilities of my species. Indeed if I look at the body I own I am now 2. 30 m tall and I have spikes coming out of my tail.
My body was developed enough to start receiving my inheritance. That's what gave me an idea. Indeed for most beasts when they start receiving their inheritance but it only works with monsters with powerful blood. Their bodies will go into a short sleep to allow their bodies to adapt to their new power.
The ability I had just gained was the ability to harden my body. I could solidify my body to resist any kind of attack but this capacity drains a large part of my energy that's why it's better to solidify a specific part of the body than the whole body.
Author: For everyone who has played Mortal Shell it's something in the same style.
So I had my lie.
Me : "Sorry master but after this fight, my body triggered my inheritance and so I remained unconscious until it ended.
Cro: So it's something like this, I worried for nothing but can you explain the sudden change you have during this fight. I felt like I was watching veteran fighting when you're just a rookie.

I didn't know what to say.
Me : It's. . .
Cro: Sometimes it's better to keep things to yourself. Now that you're back we can continue your training and see what power you've unlocked.
Me : Resume training now? But I just got back so we can reschedule later.
Cro: When I tell you something you have to do it no. A disciple must listen to his master. At least I think so, right?
Me : You don't know what you should do. What did I do to have you as my master?
Cro: Without me you'll already be dead so don't talk and follow me, we'll get back to practice. "
So I started to follow him and little by little I noticed that the weather was beginning to get strange. Indeed I felt the heat as well as cold, this was not normally possible because these two elements are completely opposite. So they should cancel each other, but as I can feel these two things, they cohabited well together.
So I hoisted up to Cro so he could explain to me what was going on in front of me.
Cro: "You look like you've felt the change in the air. "
He looked at me as if he didn't want me to notice anything and that he could all explain it to me. Wait he thinks I'm an idiot we snakes are among the most heat-sensitive animals so I can feel it if there is a change in the surrounding air.
At the very beginning, I wanted to pretend not to know, but after seeing his face, I immediately got the idea out of my head.
Me : "No I had noticed it but I don't know what causes this because we could not find such a place in the middle of nature and even less in the desert because this place is too dry to shelter a place with water.
Cro: I will explain to you all the place where we are heading is called Zed's tomb and it is not water that was there but just a frozen aura.

I'd just gotten too much information we were heading for a tomb, but to do what and who is this Zed? He must be an important person to have a place named after him.
Cro: Zed was a dragon who lived during Crall time.
Me : The Crall era?
Cro: The Crall Era is an era that took place 3700 years ago. It was just after our ancestors left Urdu.
Author: Now I'm working a real bestiary so it takes me a little time and I'll put out a sub-chapter to explain all the eras. But if you want I'll give you a quick explanation with Cro's help.
Me : Why did they leave?
Cro: I'll explain to you all but first we're going to do a little history lesson. Then our planet is very young indeed this last one is only 4700 years old compared to some others which have a history of several million years.
So our story began after the creator created our planet together with the original beings who are Jormungandr, the manticore, and so on. We call this era Xal. During this one all living beings were pure, but one day one of the monsters tried to rebel against the creator. Nowadays we still don't know that she is the cause of all this, but we were just told that her name was Satan."
So the creator was the reason for our existence and Satan had also appeared here. The questions in my head were getting more and more numerous.
Cro: This rebellion marked the end of the first era and as this one lasted 1000 years all the eras also lasted 1000 years. After Xal, we have Crall then Fil, Qru, and finally the era we now find which is that of Vless.
Me : But what happened to the other legendary monsters and what happened to Zed?
Cro: After seeing that one of his creatures had been corrupted and had tried to attack him. The Creator banished all creatures that became too powerful because the Creator has limited power on this place so if several powerful people fight and win against the weak power he left here on this plane, he will have no control over it so anything too powerful is banished or killed if it refuses to leave.
Me : That was the case with Zed? The latter refused to leave and was punished by the Creator. Is that it?
Cro: Zed absolutely refused to leave. The Creator warned him that if he did not obey him he would lose his life. Except Zed thought that all this was just a way to scare him off and that the Creator didn't possess that kind of power. Except for one day, Zed was struck by lightning and died instantly, since no one disobeys the Creator.
Me : So that means that all this cold comes from Zed's body but why did this cold materialize?
Cro: Very simple before he died Zed felt a huge feeling of hatred because he thought that he couldn't be killed just because he had disobeyed. This enormous feeling of hatred was thus transformed into the cold air that attacks the soul of any person with whom it comes into contact.
Me : The soul?
Cro: Yes this cold allows you to face your heart demon so many people come here to free their minds from all harmful thoughts to cultivate faster and with a healthier mind.
So we're going to go over there and train you to resist this type of attack and work on your mind and there'll probably be plenty of other surprises waiting for you there. "
So we started to move forward and in the distance, we could see what looked like a hill except that it was a dragon skeleton.
So there are beings that can kill monsters this powerful with a snap of their fingers. Soon it will be I who will possess that power.
I set out to enter Zed's tomb with my master's company.
