Chapter 1218: Something Weird II

Chapter 1218: Something Weird II

There are still some Hill giants that survived but they live in seclusion just like most of the giants who no longer care too much about the affairs of human.

But that is a long time coming. At the time of the Age of Heroes, most of the Giants usually follows the orders of Arakath

He did not only look at the Giants but also at the Kobolds

The Kobolds unlike one would think of how they were described in fantasy.

The kobolds in Earth X resembles the samurais in ancient Japan

They live in a clan society with one of them is called Great Warrior as they have two rulers supervising two separate entities.

The other is the High King of the Kobold which reign supreme and theoretically hold more power than the Great Warrior and in charge with administration and ceremonious and religious ritual.

Great Warrior supervises the warrior or army. And that is not the only similarity

The warrior of Kobold follows a strict code.

Or as they termed it ‘the way of the warrior’.

Some of its values are a combination of frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor unto death.

Their violent existence with this code made the warrior clans of the Kobold tempered by wisdom and serenity.

It is said that the Code eulogizing such virtues as reckless bravery, fierce family pride, and selfless, at times senseless devotion of master and man and fiercely loyal made the Kobold strong and unified and the only races that could fight evenly in terms of courage and fierceness against the Orcs.

The way the Kobold society work resembles very closely to the Shogunate system of the ancient Japan with the Emperor in charge on the ceremonial things and the Shogunate in charge of military and the others

And in the sky, flying carefreely is the Dragon race.

They usually occupy mountain but they were times that they would fly around the sky just to bathe in the Sun.

Azief shake his head looking at all the fantasy creatures. By the time he was here, in the Age of Heroes, most of these races had dwindled in number.

Dragons is pitifully low. There were only four recorded dragons by then. As for giants none of them was as big as the giants he is seeing today

Azief did not only look at them because he was curious. It is also because he wanted to look at their fortune and luck.

This world is a magical world. And the Will of the World is very strong in this planet. He could see that Dragons and Elves are the most blessed races among the other races.

But he is also seeing that the fortune and luck of humans is slowly increasing. It would only take an impetus for that fortune to broke out

How many lifetimes of suffering and hardship for the fortune to accumulate that much?’ he thought to himself as he looks at the fortune of humanity

The fortune is already overwhelming but it did not yet break out.

‘The protagonist race of Heaven and Earth’ Azief said.

Seeing this, he could see that the fortune and luck of humans is so overwhelming is because they will inherit the Earth and the Heavens of this world.

As such, the fortune and luck needed for such thing must be enormous.

‘I could now even see the trend of the future?’ Azief in Aero world could only see the fortune and luck of an individual person but suddenly now, he could see the trend of rise and decline of an entire race?

‘Something changed’ he said.

And he frowned the moment he realized this

Usually this kind of change is a good thing. After all, now he has one more abilities.

But Azief don’t believe in sudden power ups like this.

Yes, that is what happening to him.

He was too engrossed in looking and observing that even while he was looking at the fortune of the races, he forgotten for a moment that he could not do that.

It was like in that brief moment; his mind was clouded for a while.

‘My eye is not hurting. It’s not Erika eye’ He at first thought it is because of the eye of the Oracle

But if that is the case, and it is usually the case, he would feel a bit of discomfort with the eye

But he felt nothing.

And that scares him even more.

Azief is quite confused right now.

Of course, he felt that being able to see the trend of rise and decline is something very good but this just doesn’t make sense.

His Divine Sense did not suddenly become powerful and his understanding of fate and destiny also did not deepen but suddenly he was able to see the fortune and luck of an entire race?

He notices it before when he looks at these races and he saw the entirety of their race fortune and luck, forgetting in that moment, that he could not do that before this

And so, he looks at the Elves, the Kobolds, the Orcs and the Dragons and only after sweeping them with his Divine Sense that he realized he had look at the trend of rise and decline of their race fortune and luck.

He looks at the sky and frowned,

‘Heavenly Will of this world is helping me?’ Then he shakes his head.

‘This is not possible. After all, this projection even though it is almost indistinguishable from the real world that it projected, in the end, there is layers and barriers of dimension between the true world of the projection and the projection itself. Unless I engage in it, the world will not do things that is out from their supposed trajectory.’

For a moment, Azief just stop doing anything, his mind is combing through all of his memories trying to make sense of this sudden power up.

The most possible explanation is the Heavenly Will is helping him but that explanation did not make sense because of the matter of the projection not being the real world.

After a few second of useless pondering, Azief could only shakes his head and retract back his gaze. There is nothing else he could do.

He did not understand why he could see the rise and decline of the fates of these races but for now, he just had to put that matter aside.

He looks aback at Aero and he smiles.

Even though Aero story in Vilajeri Continent had ended, his adventure in Earth X is just beginning.

‘What a life! What a man!’ Azief thought to himself.

Aero or Daniel has always been sure of himself, a man of great personal confidence with an irresistible charisma to lead.

Azief was not always sure of himself.

It was not until he fought death multiple times and survive each of those death tribulation that he became who he is today.

But even then, they were times when he questioned his choices, questioned his decision.

He did not show it to his people but in the beginning, most of the time, he did not know the fuck he is doing.

It took a long time before the Death Monarch image truly became him.

But Aero, while they were times that he hesitated, once he makes his decision, he truly does not look back and he is very sure of himself

That kind of confidence could infect people and leadership comes naturally to him.

Azief envies that he loves without restraint and hated people honestly.

His method might not be honest, but the way he is true to his feeling regardless of anything is something that Azief could learn from

But the reason why Azief so much admire a mortal, a mortal that if he wanted to he could kill with just a gaze is because, this mortal would one day, amidst these fantasy races of creatures lorded over all of them an establish a thousand-year Empire that would give humans the hegemony of the world.

The moment Aero arrives, Azief could see that the fortunes of humanity is in the verge of breaking out

‘It would take a long time before it reached Arial times’ Azief mutters to himself.

While Azief had been here before, he was not here during these period of time. When he was here, it was the era of the Edenian Empire.
