Death… And Me

3026  Then That's Fine

Foliana was taken aback. She used the Rusbav Royal Family Hidden Library and the records she found in her own family to pinpoint this place. However, even though she expected to find her Family's inheritance her, she didn't know what to expect. "He-Hello, senior..."

The eyes continued to look at her. 'What are you waiting for?'

"I..." Foliana didn't even know what he was talking about. "Sorry, senior. It-it has been over twenty thousand years since anyone came to this place, I believe. The only thing I know is that my Nasfivil Family Inheritance is probably here, but I don't know anything else." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Twenty thousand years...' The eye was surprised to hear that such a long time had passed. 'I knew I had been slumbering for a while, but I didn't expect to be this long. What happened to the Nasfivil Royal Family?'

Foliana looked at Rean, who just smiled and nodded at her. 'Don't worry. If things become dangerous, I have a way to save both of us. Just make sure you don't fight against it when you feel some kind of power trying to pull your body away.'

Foliana nodded, feeling rather secure with Rean. She then turned back to the eye. "Well, it goes like this..."

She then explained how the Werdlem Empire arrived on the planet. Then, the next Royal Family Competition happened, and their Nasfivil Royal Family lost. Since that time, the Royal Family changed a few times until it settled with the Rusbav Royal Family, which is the controlling power of the country at the moment.

As for the Nasfivil Family, according to the records left behind, they still held some power after losing the throne and got to control one of the regions of the country. However, they slowly lost their power as they tried to hold onto their traditions. On the other hand, their enemies got more and more integrated into the Werdlem Empire Advanced System, and that obviously gave them a big advantage.

"It wasn't just our Nasfivil Family. Many other powers from that time also refused to change their ways, but all of them disappeared with time. My Nasfivil Family can't even be considered a power anymore. Very few of us are left in a rather remote area of our country. Our strongest cultivator is my great-grandfather, who is only in the Soul Transformation Realm."

"The only reason we even lasted this long was because we eventually changed our thoughts and also joined the Werdlem Empire system. Too bad the other powers had already established themselves, so we are truly just a small Family that no one pays attention to anymore," she finished explaining.

The eye went silent for a few moments before it spoke again. 'I see... so we truly couldn't do anything against the coming of technology, uh? Those who don't adapt will eventually disappear. If I just understood this obvious point back then...'

In the end, the Eye gave up thinking about it. 'Forget it. My name is Globian Nasfivil. I was an ancestor of our Royal Family. Do you know if my real self managed to breakthrough and ascend to the Divine Realm?'

Foliana shook her head. "I can't say for certain since, as I explained, there were many records left in our Family estate. But from what I was able to find out in the Database of the Royal Families in the capital, no one of our country managed to ascend since the Werldem Empire arrived. Chances are..."

Foliana didn't finish her words, but the Spiritual Sense of Globian understood. 'It is fine. When I left this Spiritual Sense here, I already had little hope of ascending. Your words just confirmed what I already expected.'

Finally, Globian went back to the main topic. 'In any case, I left this Spiritual Sense for a descendant of mine to find it in the future. I put it here around the same time as the Werdlem Empire appearance. Seems like that was the right decision since you are here. Do you have the bloodline needle?'

Foliana took the same red needle artifact out. "Could it be this one?"

Globian confirmed. 'That one. The medallion and the needle are necessary to open the inheritance. Just draw some blood and put on the needle. Leave the rest to me.'

Foliana couldn't help but feel a little excited. Back when she talked to the twins, Foliana mentioned that the reason she wanted the inheritance was not because she wanted to become strong. Instead, she wanted to simply increase her lifespan so she could still learn more about the history of the world and the universe.

Foliana pricked her finger, and a drop of blood was absorbed by the needle. Just like the medallion, it floated to the formations. However...

*Bzzzz...*

A gray light immediately enveloped the needle. In the next moment, the blood it absorbed created a connection with Foliana's body and then her soul.

"Ahhhh!"

While that happened, the formation activated again, targeting Rean and Little Fisha. It forced both of them to dodge and ultimately separate from Foliana.

'Hahaha!' The eye didn't mind that Rean and Little Fisha escaped its attack. It used that moment to make a small gap in the formation and pull Foliana inside. 'Such an idiot. Sure, my past self left this Spiritual Sense back then, but it has been over twenty thousand years! I have long since grown independent and have nothing to do with that guy anymore. I've always been waiting for a new body, and to make things better, it is someone from the same bloodline as me. Such a great gift. Now then, little girl, just give up and give me your body.'

Rean narrowed his eyes. "So there was no inheritance at all. It was only you..."

'Oh! Not at all!' The eye gleefully communicated. 'The inheritance is there, but it will not be something for you to use. Instead, it will be a great boost for me once I take over this girl's body.'

The formation activated again, but this time seemed to carry even more Spiritual Energy than before. No doubt, it would be many times harder to dodge than before. To make things worse, Sister Orb couldn't hack it since the Spiritual Sense that lived inside would notice it. 'As for the two of you, I can't have you warning the geezers outside about me, so I will have you die here.'

Yet, before the formation activated, Rean's voice came from behind the formation, right by Foliana's side. "Oh! So that's how it is, uh? Well, as long as there is an inheritance, then that's fine." As he finished his words, his body burst with Light Element!

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
