Zaneos - Part 2
Zaneos - Part 2
"What's the hurry? Don't you want to take your time while I am explaining how it works?" Zaneos thought they should take their time so they could get a clear understanding of how the System worked in the Talent Room.
"We don't have that much time. I want my talent and class, so I can take my trial and return to the tower." Zowen grabbed Zaneos' wrist, trying to drag him with her.
"Wait a minute," The Demon Swordsman turned to the attendant, "They will be my responsibility now, so you can continue your work."
The female attendant nodded, relieved that she did not have to serve the two ladies. She never saw the two, but she could tell that these two ladies had a high status. Not serving them might be a good thing lest she could offend them unknowingly.
Zaneos let himself be dragged by Zowen, "This is rare from Zowen who is known to be meticulous. What's the rush? Is the situation in the tower that bad? I thought we were winning against the Divine Church."
The three entered the elevator, and the demon pressed to the third floor underground where the advancement room was. He then looked at the two ladies, asking for an explanation of why they were in a rush.
Zowen and Rosalie also observed the demon, from top to bottom. They had the weird expression to see Zaneos in his attire. It was something they did not expect to see from Zaneos.
"I feel like being judged here." The Demon Swordsman narrowed his eyes, then he shook his head, "Come on, guys. Tell me, what happened in the tower."
"I don't really expect to see you in that outfit," Zowen muttered before replying to the demon's inquiry, "There's nothing emergency, and we are not worried about the Divine Church. We are more worried about the God Ranks behind the Divine Church."
There were many things to tell, and Zowen told him everything. She summarized everything, why they were in a hurry and how Earth was in danger. How Tang Shaoyang became the target of the God Ranks because of his class, Slayer and Spirit Contractor. How the God Ranks came into the tower to kill Tang Shaoyang.
Zaneos did not hear about this from the Tarrior. He also worried after hearing Zowen's story, "How strong the God Rank is?"
"Tang Shaoyang—" The Demon Swordsman interrupted her, "His Majesty. You can't call him by his name anymore. You are no longer his spirit, but his subject. Unless you are…."
Zowen rolled her eyes, "His Majesty tried to escape from the three God Ranks, using everything he had to escape, but he failed. He was forced to fight them, and he almost killed one of them because they underestimated him. However, he died before he could land the last hi—"
[WHAT!? MASTER DIED!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I STILL SEE HIS NAME IN THE MEMBER LIST. DON'T LIE, WOMAN!]
Origin's voice rang on the advancement floor, echoing in their ears. Fortunately, only three of them were on this floor.
The three covered their ears as it was too loud, and it pissed Zowen, "Shut up and listen to my story to the end, you damn AI! You hurt my ears!" Lightning sparked in her hand, but it subsided soon. She almost exploded the whole floor with her lightning because she was surprised by the voice.
"His Majesty is alive. Remember his Seven Souls? The skill he got from the Green Sky Serpent? That cheat skill worked as we thought, and he returned from the dead. His Majesty is on a journey to find the eleventh floor boss to reach the next rank. He is preparing to fight the God Ranks in case they find their way to Earth."
"He told us to return and finish our trial if we want to follow him, and I want to finish them all before we fight the eleventh floor's boss. I don't want to be left behind and be a burden anymore." Zowen explained. It hurt her pride a lot when Tang Shaoyang told her that she was a burden. That was the first time ever since she had become a magus that someone told her that she was a burden. She felt useless, and that was not an insult but a fact she was aware of.
It was Zaneos' turn to be quiet, not expecting something big to happen in the tower. He could not really blame the Tarrior for not giving the other divisions the detail in the tower since it would cause worries to the other divisions. He just did not expect the problem would be this big.
"Now it's your turn to tell us how this works, Zaneos." Zowen urged the Demon Swordsman.
They were not Tang Shaoyang's contracted spirit when he took the class and chose the talent. The two did not really know how these two rooms worked. They only had general knowledge. The Class Room would give them a class, and the talent room would give them talent. That was the thing they knew.
"There's no more Unique Class in this Class Room, but I can take you to another Smart Base for the Unique Class. For now, let's take the talent first…." Zaneos told him how the gacha worked, and how they had a second chance if their free draw turned out to be a crap talent, "So yeah, you only have two chances to awaken your talent. I advise you to take it if you get Grade B Talent instead of taking the second chance. Even Grade B Talent is hard to come by."
Rosalie was the first one to sneak into the Talent Room. She did not say anything. As soon as Zaneos finished his explanation, she snuck into the Talent Room, leaving Zowen and Zaneos outside.
"That damn woman…." Zowen swore, but then she turned toward Zaneos, "What about you, Zaneos? Are you satisfied with your current life? Or will you help His Majesty?"
