Chapter 266: Old Maytan's Explanation

At that moment, the four Supreme Royal Families have almost forgotten about the Blood-Evolver and poured all their attention towards the three girls below.

However, they suddenly thought.

'Wait, what made these girls different from the others? Is the failure rate just a lie? Moreover, they didn't even hide their conversation. This is suspicious.'

As if he can read minds, Old Maytan mildly laughed, "I told you that these girls are talented."

"Yes, you're right, Old Maytan." Sheran frowned, remembering how she didn't believe him at first, "Edora is inwardly tough enough to accomplish anything placed after her. Now that she succeeded and had her blood evolved, her only limitations were removed. However, for the two immoral girls, I don't understand how they can easily succeed."

"Mettany should be a product of experimentation. You didn't know this but the Sin Holders actually lack the Lust from the very start. The description of the power of the Lust Holder is just theoretical. Because of the nature of lust being not an emotion in its essence, it was said that the Sin Holders will forever lack Lust."

Old Maytan continued after a breath, "However, they then discovered that these sins are actually desires to its core. By manipulating the inner desire and connecting it to the soul, the result was... the fluctuations of the inner desire becomes the manipulation of the soul to energy. More Sin Holders was then created by the theory. Then, Mettany, the Holder of Lust was created."

'We didn't know that...' the others who were eavesdropping gulped and felt that it should be true as they were encountering more and more Sin Holders in the past decade.

"And about Tamya, she may look like a sweet girl but in my eyes, she is aware of who she really is. That's why I took her since I have high suspicions. You know the demon you killed back then?"

Sheran nodded.

"That's actually the infamous Siena who is a Holder of both Wrath and Greed. When the Conqueress was still Rank Ey, she was the one who tried to kill that demon. However, Siena still survived with only one rank lower since she was partly crippled."

'Really!?' Sheran contemplated, 'Did this occur after we got separated?'

"Being under the same roof as that demon and being a Sin Holder herself. Tamya should be the Holder of Envy. Siena's Conditioned Elesk is a bit similar to Envy so maybe the Immoral Faction sent Tamya under Siena. Good thing she was still Rank Eeh back then and had yet to mature for Siena to teach her or else she would be troublesome to catch."

"Hm? Even in front of a Rank Es?" Sheran raised an eyebrow.

Old Maytan's smile vanished, "Don't underestimate Sin Holders, Sheran. There's a reason why the Immoral Faction is making them cadres. Siena, whom you killed, is already old and was already not in her prime. Sin Holders have their own powers. For example, Envy can steal anything as long as it is the desire of the user. I'll leave it to your imagination as to how much of a cheat this skill is."

"You sure know a lot, Old Maytan."

"Well, I did travel all around the world to study it. And when reading a book, you normally don't completely understand its content on first read right? So I have encircled the whole world multiple times. Hayss... the effort I used just to evolve my element. In the period, I vanquished every Immoral person I see. Eventually, I was lead into some of their bases and learned some of their secrets."

"What... what are those?" Sheran got curiosity over her.

'So that's why he got the title, Might of Torge...' everyone thought.

"Hm... there's no harm in telling but the Immoral Faction acts like one. Even though they are everywhere and seemed to be separated from each other, they are actually just branches of the main faction. it's because they have one leader ruling over them. They have a bigger goal than just killing people and such. One of the reasons why I followed your sister is because I think that it's the Conqueress who is behind the Immoral Faction. Although I may not know her ultimate goal, it shouldn't be good for the world." Old Maytan sighed.

Everyone became silent as the oblivious fighters on the stage kept fighting.

'Is that true?'

'That's a sudden reveal...'

After that moment, the four Supreme Royal Families began thinking about what Old Maytan and knew that the future is something that they do not control anymore.

"My sister... ah yeah." Sheran nodded.

In the next moment, she rebuked, "You're wrong, it's not the Conqueress. She only knows how to dominate and fight. She doesn't know any underhanded tricks."

"Oh, you know her?" Old Maytan was a bit surprised.

"A... a little, yes." Sheran nodded and then rolled her eyes back to the match.

Their talk took a little long and the fight had already progressed much.

Edora, Mettany, Tamya, and Avion didn't hear a thing about what Old Maytan said because, at that moment, the battle was reaching its climax.

Edora was already perspiring, Mettany was bleeding all over, and Tamya had begun saving her energy and casts weaker elesps.

'I can't continue any longer!' the three of them thought and at the same time, their eyes then looked at the other person.

'If only this caster is not impeding my movement, I would've killed Mettany a long time ago.' Edora switched gear and used her burst movement one last time to try and catch Tamya.

'Perfect! If I hit her now, I would have one less problem!' Mettany put all her strength into her right fist and brought it over to Edora's direction.

Tamya saw this clash and found it as an opportunity, 'If Edora dodged Mettany, she would get me. However, seeing that she's already at her edge, I just have to put a defensive elesp to counter her. In this state, Mettany's destructive power is what I should look out for. This is the perfect time to take her out!'

Avion was watching the battle with analyzing eyes up till now. Seeing the abrupt tide of the battle where they're about to attack the person they're strong against, instead of the other way around, the battle of attrition suddenly turned into a fatal round!

'I should step in!'

While the Rank Es Elementalists were in deep thought about what Old Maytan said, their dazing eyes were still looking at the battle.

When Avion stepped in to stop the three of them at once, almost everyone thought that their eyes are playing tricks on them.
