Chapter 105 The Unfortunate Story Of The Beautiful Woman.
?
From the moment Eros laid his fingers on Shade's three breasts, he had felt it as clear as day.
This snake tribes were special.
This went beyond just the way their bodies looked or how they survived.
Rather, it was the kind of energy they cultivated.
The energy they cultivated was not something that a mortal should have.
After all, it was just too strong for the normal body.
However, these creatures were not normal humans. They were also not furries.
Rather, they were referred to as Demi-humans.
it was obvious that the Medusa queen was stronger than Eros in terms of cultivation. Yet, she had still referred to Eros as My lord.
This did not make any sense.
However, she had her reason and it was a really good one.
"Mother!? Why are you bowing to a man," Shade said what was in the hearts of everyone.
However, the Queen of the Medusa tribe did not stop bowing.
After a few seconds, low sobs could be heard.
There came from the queen. Apparently, she was in tears.
"Mother!!!" Shade was surprised, and the Medusas pointing their weapons at Eros inched forward.
They did not know what Eros had done, but their queen was in tears.
They did not know why, but it was obvious that Eros was the reason.
The queen rose her head.
She smiled at Eros, "the great mother has heard our prayers," she whispered.
"Shade," she called to her daughter, "circulate your soul energy."
"Huh!?"
"Just do it. All of you," she pointed at the Medusas, "do the same thing. Circulate your soul energies."
Circulation of one's soul energy was done when activating a technique or when cultivation was in process.
It was therefore surprising to them that she would order that they circulated their soul energies.
However, they still did as she had asked.
Immediately they did, they opened their eyes in surprise.
All eyes were on Eros.
"It's not possible," Diana muttered subconsciously.
"He has it...." Shade was speechless for words, "Celestial energy."
"A man that can cultivate Celestial energy!? Does that mean that our Medusa tribe is saved?" Shade subconsciously asked.
However, Diana immediately advanced forward, "my queen, I don't think we should trust this human just yet. Just because he cultivates a Primordial energy does not mean anything. After all, he is still a human."
Diana looked at Eros with a deep frown.
"This might be one of their usual cheap trick."
"Oh, this is not a trick, I do cultivate Celestial energy," Eros waved his hand and a light ball of pure celestial energy glowed in his hand.
This was more than enough prove that he was not lying to them.
One of the little girl medusa slithered to Shade, "Princess Shade, does that mean that our clan can finally be saved!?"
Shade patted the little girl's head, but did not give any answer
Eros heard those words and then he turned to the queen with a questioning look on his face.
The queen sighed, "we can not talk here, come with me please."
She slithered into the cave. Eros turned to Dan and patted him on the head, "I will be back. Just be a good boy and take care of Lady Frostbite."
Dan did not know what was happening but it was apparent that Eros had something that these Medusas were deeply in need of.
Eros followed after the queen into the cave.
Shade followed after while she instructed Diana to wait behind to watch after the prisoners.
These cave holes were very large.
They were obviously made with the Medusas reaching great sizes in mind.
Eros followed behind the queen quietly.
He was led throught the cave holes to a path underneath the mountain.
The Medusas because of their incredible senses did not need light underground, neither did Eros.
However, Eros still made a light ball for the path.
This under ground path surprisingly had an underground river.
On the walls of the underground cave, Eros could see drawings on the walls.
These drawings looked like they told a story and he was suddenly interested in them.
The Queen noticed this. She paused and turned to him.
"My lord, if I may ask, what is your name?" The Queen asked.
Eros smiled at her, "I am Baron Eros Ironclad Tate. But you can call me Eros for a short. All my friends do."
She smiled back at him, "in that case, I will call you Eros. So tell me, lord Eros, would you like to hear a story?"
Eros raised a brow, "is it a very good one?"
"Oh, I think you will like it. It is the story of these murals on the cave walls. It is the story of our Origin."
Eros's attention was suddenly peaked at this.
This was a story he was quite interested in. After all, in his former world as a god, he had known a Medusa.
She was not initially half snake and half human, but had been full human.
At the time, she had been the most beautiful mortal woman.
She was so beautiful that she caught the attention of not just man, but also Spirits, Titans and even the gods themselves.
Of course, at the time, Eros was no exception.
He too had desired her and even approached the fair maiden at one time like the other gods had.
But Medusa had been given to Athena when she was but a little girl by her mother.
Even at a young age, Medusa and her mother were already being tormented by lustful evil spirits.
Submitting the young girl to be a priestess of the Virgin goddess was the only way to secure her peace and safety.
For a while, this worked excellently well.
Athena was a very respected and geared goddess. After all, she was one of the war pantheon.
However, as the young medusygot older, she only increased in beauty.
By the time she was in her early twenties, she was so beautiful that she easily beat any of the goddesses on the beauty scale.
Medusa had become so beautiful that one god in particular did not mind offending Athena to have her in his bed.
This god was Poseidon.
On one faithful day, Poseidon had decided that he would take her for himself no matter what it took.
While she was out the temple fetching firewood, he approached her to take advantage of her body.
However, using an amulet of protection from Athena, she managed to escape his grip.
She ran back to Athena's temple as fast as she could.
Poseidon ran after her, managing to tear her clothes as he did.
Luckily, she managed to make it in time into Athena's temple.
Unfortunately, Athena had misread the situation.
What she thought was that Medusa was bringing her lover to come fornicate in her holy temple.
Athena was a virgin goddess. For her Chasity was a prize.
In her eyes, Medusa had brought shame to her temple.
For this, she placed a curse on Medusa.
"No man shall ever set his eyes on you, and call you beautiful."
It was in that moment that Medusa became Medusa.
Hair of snakes, eyes that turn men go stone and an around freak.
For many years, Medusa suffered this curse.
The truth was that Athena later learnt of what had happened, and that Medusa was not to be be blamed and had truly been loyal to her.
However, gods were a very prideful people.
If Athena were to remove the curse, then It would mean that she was admitting she was wrong.
No god wanted to be known for being wrong.
Last time Eros heard about her, it was from Persius.
Through him, everyone thought that Medusa was dead.
It was to this side.of the story that he knew.
The Queen explained so far, and explained a part of the story he was never familiar with.
That day many years ago, Persius had not killeded Medusa, but leant about her suffering and curse.
Through him, she managed to meet a celestial who had pity on her after hearing her story, and took her to this new world.
This celestial had done things by her own power, and gave Medusa a piece of her strength to keep her safe in the new unforgiving world she had found herself.
This was how Medusa acquired Celestial energy.
However, she still had her human origins which created an unhealthy dependence on celestial energy for life.
A treasure had been given to Medusa to continually supply celestial energy for her life source.
However, Medusa had given birth to two daughters.
These two daughters because of slight differences in their appearances, never got along.
Each went on to form their own tribe when their mother left this world in death.
However, they needed the Artifact that had been given to their mother to survive.
Their hatred for one another only grew with more time, and the artifact was split in two by the two daughters.
Each taking a piece to live with.
