Chapter 886: It’s His Past Life!
The former king of Tatrama is Roy’s real father. Though Roy himself doesn’t know about it.
The former king asked a villager who was close with Roy’s mother to raise Roy in the village and act as Roy’s father. And to not let anyone know that Roy is the king’s son. Because there will be too many problem if it was known.
The former king of Tatrama was known to be loyal to his wife, the former queen. And so, not only will Roy’s existence will make the people lost their trust in him. There will be many political enemies to target Roy if he was known.
That’s why the king asked Roy’s mother, her close friend, and the village chief to keep it secret. At least until Roy awakened his magic.
"Wait, what?! He’s your father? The former king of Tatrama? And Roy is his illegitimate child?!" Victoria was shocked to hear that.
"Now that I think about it, Sophie said that my brother’s and my blood are the same rare type. And Roy’s, although it was different, it seems like there’s quite a lot similarities between his blood and ours. That’s also why she doesn’t know yet if our blood can be transfused to each other’s body. Is it because he’s our half-brother? Though the vampires told me that Roy’s blood is special," Shirley asked.
"Maybe. I think his mother’s blood run deeply in Roy’s body. As for the similarities, I think that’s not just his blood type. But also the DNA found in his blood. I guess it’s no wonder since you’re actually related. As for the vampires, maybe because Roy is an Aura Master that his blood is more delicious than yours," Victoria said.
"You seem calm after hearing it. Why?" Shirley asked.
Even now, her heart is still beating fast after learning the truth.
"I was shocked. But now, not anymore. Roy is Roy. And even if we tell him later that you’re his sister, he might not care. For him, his main focus is the cult’s destruction and his harem," Victoria said.
"I see. That’s so like him. I guess I won’t be able to join his harem. Though as his sister, I still have some privileges," Shirley said.
"Wait, you want him as well?! Just how did he became so popular?" Victoria asked.
"It doesn’t matter now, right? Let’s continue watching," Shirley said.
While all the interaction between the two happened, the Spirit King watched the two with interest.
’Maybe I’ll try to watch their memories later. It could be interesting,’ the Spirit King thought.
Although they watched every second about Roy’s past, it was as if everything is fast-forwarded. But they can still observe everything carefully. Especially the Spirit King who has used that magic many times in the past.
’Oh, so that’s the human world after so many years since I left. There hasn’t been many people attempting to challenge the mountain, so I don’t know much about it anymore.’
As for the other two, they were shocked to see that Roy had... a very normal childhood. No one would have thought that Roy would became the way he is today when watching his past.
Roy’s mother get closer to her childhood friend, and they got married. So Roy had a stepfather.
Then, a few years later, they both died. They both were hunters, and since they heard that there were monsters near the village they lived, the couple helped fighting the monsters.
The village was saved, but unfortunately, the couple died.
Since the village chief afraid that the king will learn if Roy left the village and forced to fend for himself, the village chief told his own family to make sure that Roy had proper meal at least until he entered school.
"...It’s surprisingly normal. But that’s good since I don’t know what I will feel if my little brother’s lived a hard life," Shirley said.
"No, Shirley. It will happen. You know it as well. But it just hasn’t happened yet," Victoria said.
"Oh, it soon will be the day of his awakening. He said that he didn’t have air element back then. So if his air element didn’t awaken at this time, it means that this is his first life that we’re watching," Victoria said.
Hearing that, someone got confused. It was the Spirit King.
’Ah, I’ll just watch his life. Then I will learn everything about him,’ the Spirit King thought. Deciding to just watch Roy’s past instead of asking the two.
"Ah, Victoria! Before we forget, make a lot of your clones. Then transform those clones into the faces of those who might be important people that can help us," Shirley said.
"Right! That’s a good idea!" Victoria said.
Then a lot of her clones appeared. They quickly transformed into the head of the people that Victoria saw in Roy’s past. Just some of them. But they include the former king’s head, Roy’s mother’s head, Roy’s stepfather’s head, and the village chief’s head.
’...What kind of horror is this? There are too many heads in this place! They are crazy!’ the Spirit King thought.
Soon, the place has multiple severed heads all around. And just to enjoy herself, Victoria made it so that all the heads are looking at Roy.
"With this, he will be screamed in terror once he wakes up," Victoria said.
"You’re evil. We should have brought more people here rather than just the two of us then," Shirley said.
And then, the time has come for Roy to awaken his magic.
Since this is an illusion connected to Roy’s mind, it was all seen in first person perspective. So Victoria and Shirley can only see the events from Roy’s sight. That’s why it’s impossible for them to see everything around him. Especially when he was just a baby. With only meeting his real father for a few minutes.
But it makes it as if the audience is experiencing Roy’s life completely. Including how he was disappointed when he awaken only one element. The summoning element.
"He only awaken one element! Which mean that this is his past life!" Victoria shouted.
"Yes! And I see Angela and Kayla. And since Roy is interested in watching everyone’s awakening, we can see if there’s someone with excellent element. Make sure to memorize everything!" Shirley said.
"I will separate the heads of those with lightning element and healing element since they are always be sought after no matter what. As for tamer and summoner other than Roy, they might have joined the cult already. But let’s make their heads just in case," Victoria said.
More and more heads were created. Even the Spirit King who has been alive for so long never see so many severed heads at once. Though some of those severed heads were moving as if there are hundreds of legs under them.
’...Just what kind of people I’m involved with?’
Then it started as Roy told them in the past. His first meeting with Blobby. And his disappointment.
"You really were not there at all, huh?" Shirley asked.
"Maybe if Roy could increase his summoning level, that Blobby will be able to talk. Whoever will talk though, I don’t know," Victoria said.
"I guess he was so weak back then. Maybe he shouldn’t even join the war. But if he didn’t, he won’t be returned back to the past," Shirley said.
Finally, the Spirit King couldn’t hold it anymore. He was extremely curious about what the two of them were talking about from the start. About returning to the past or different future.
"Hey, what are you two talking about from the start? What is it about returning from the future?" the Spirit King asked.
"If we continue watching Roy’s past, I’m sure that you will know what I’m talking about," Victoria said.
"Just tell me anything you can say!" the Spirit King became impatient.
"Well, spoiler alert. Roy fought in a war, died, then he got returned back to the past. As for how, if you can just make an illusion to show my past, it should be possible for you to see. That’s why I asked for you to just do it with me instead. But since it’s not possible, we had no choice but to just read Roy’s past," Victoria said.
"So he came from the future? I guess I will know more if I watch closely," the Spirit King said.
The illusion continued with Roy’s past. Of him trying to learn anything he can do with the Black Slime he named Blobby. Including stabbing the Black Slime with a knife, dropping it from a high altitude, and even let it be eaten by a monster.
Though in the end, the monster died of starvation since the Black Slime consumed everything the monster eaten. And since that’s how they died, the Black Slime didn’t get experience for Roy to breakthrough.
"How cruel. I’m sorry that it happened to you," Shirley said.
"Not really. I never thought that one was me since it didn’t even regain its consciousness. As it’s just a slime that follows its master no matter what and unabe to do anything else," Victoria said.
Roy gave up doing anything else. And he went to school normally and registered as a hunter. But he never increased his rank because all he can do was just gathering herbs to get money for a living.
And Roy’s life continued without anything exciting for a while.
