Fulilian: Start with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Game of the Heavens Chapter 060

For a long time, the oppressive atmosphere lingering in the air gradually dispersed.

In the reception room, Leon sat on a sofa, his gaze fixed on the five people in front of him.

“That’s roughly how it is. I originally thought you were invaders, which is why I attacked first.”

“However, since you are visitors from another world, there aren’t as many rules.”

The location where visitors from other worlds appeared was quite random.

Sometimes, with bad luck, they would even fall into the deep sea.

Entering the Demon Lord’s lair, in a sense, was also a hell-level start.

But then again, who could blame them for being so powerful?

Ronan listened quietly, nodding occasionally, lost in thought. He had a rough understanding of the entire situation.

At the same time, combining Leon’s earlier explanation of the world’s structure, he finally understood what kind of world he had arrived in.

—Jura Forest, Ten Demon Lords.

These names sounded quite familiar to Ronan.

Without a doubt, they were related to a certain slime.

It was just the timing…

“How many years ago is this? Shizue Izawa… isn’t she the girl who was eaten by the slime and transformed?”

“So, I’ve indirectly changed history again?”

Although he wasn’t sure why she had to be eaten, it was clear that with his intervention now, this future would definitely not happen.

Theoretically, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

But…

When he thought about how the slime would turn into a human without Shizue Izawa, Ronan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, he quite liked Rimuru.

But then he remembered that whether the slime could transform had nothing to do with him, and saving people was the top priority, so he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Ronan looked up again.

He looked at Leon and continued to ask:

“So, the exact location here is… Have you heard of the Storm Dragon?”

Storm Dragon?

Leon frowned. How would a visitor from another world know about that?

Although he was curious, as a Demon Lord, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

His expression was calm as he explained faintly:

“Of course, I’ve heard of it. It seems that you may have had contact with people from this world before.”

“The so-called Storm Dragon is named Veldora, sealed deep within the Jura Forest over two hundred years ago.”

“This is El Dorado, the Golden Land, separated from the Jura Forest by sea and located on another continent.”

“Are you going there?”

Ronan didn’t answer immediately. Leon’s words made him realize his current timeline.

Indeed, it was decades before the slime’s reincarnation, because the slime’s reincarnation happened exactly three hundred years after the Storm Dragon was sealed.

Beside him, Ciel raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She had a feeling that Ronan seemed to know everything about this world in advance.

Combined with what the Goddess had said earlier, Ronan’s identity seemed to become even more mysterious…

“Hey.” Ciel was about to ask Ronan why he knew all this.

Leon suddenly stood up, his gaze calm, breaking the subtle atmosphere:

“It’s getting late. No matter where you’re from, let’s go have dinner first.”

“Brave Hero, I am very grateful for your magnanimity.”

“However, there’s one thing I must clarify: I am not an evil Demon Lord.”

“I was once a hero myself, but due to certain circumstances, I was forced to abandon that identity.”

“Oh?” At these words, a hint of interest flashed in Ronan’s eyes.

A dark transformation plot? That was quite enjoyable.

If time hadn’t been so pressing, he really would have liked to hear Leon’s story.

Under Leon’s guidance, everyone left the reception room.

Ciel still looked distracted, her gaze wandering.

Shizue Izawa and Flamme silently followed behind Ronan. The two inadvertently exchanged glances.

Seeing the dependence in the other’s eyes, Flamme pursed her lips, a faint hint of regret in her heart.

Frieren, on the other hand, looked indifferent.

When everyone was seated at the dining table, Frieren remembered the voice that had flashed in her mind earlier and suddenly asked:

“What are skills?”

This abrupt question attracted everyone’s attention.

Ronan looked at Frieren, then his gaze shifted to Leon.

Leon had just sat down and, noticing everyone’s eyes fixed on him, he paused slightly, then carefully chose his words and patiently replied:

“Skills are special abilities granted by the World Will to visitors from other worlds, reincarnated individuals, and summoners when they first arrive in this world.”

“They allow ordinary people with no talent to grow rapidly.”

“We Demon Lords have them too, including heroes. They are concrete powers formed from desires after bathing in magicules, imprinted deep within the soul.”

So that’s how it is. Frieren didn’t immediately understand, but Ronan instantly grasped the deeper meaning.

When he used to watch anime, he wondered why non-transmigrators also had skills.

Now he finally understood that everything was under the invisible observation of the World Will; even the deepest desires of the heart could be detected.

From this perspective, it was indeed much stronger than the Goddess.

—Is it the Heavenly Dao?

Ronan pondered to himself, vaguely feeling it was somewhat similar.

At least from its operational mechanism, it didn’t resemble a god with subjective will at all, but rather an objectively existing rule.

As he thought, Ronan raised his eyes and looked at Frieren, about to ask what her skill was.

Just then, in the castle, some servants in neat uniforms began serving dishes.

Their appearance and the atmosphere of the scene stopped his words. Ronan decided to talk about it after dinner.

At the same time, due to the surge of thoughts, he was also carefully evaluating the skills he had just acquired.

—[Justice Seeker] and [Hero’s Will].

…

With the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow activated, Ronan looked at his status panel, slowly eating as he thoroughly understood these two skills.

According to Leon’s description of how skills appeared, these should have been influenced by his words about being a hero.

The act of defeating a Demon Lord transformed into justice, which then split into two skills.

[Justice Seeker] possessed abilities such as accelerated thinking, magicule perception, malice detection, and indomitable soul.

The former could accelerate sensory speed by a thousand times, allowing one to make judgments in one second that would normally take a thousand seconds.

Magicule perception was a detection ability, with a built-in language conversion function. Malice detection went without saying.

As for indomitable soul… it couldn’t be distinguished by its literal meaning, it simply strengthened the soul.

But through Leon’s words, Ronan knew that this was a necessary condition for the Justice Seeker to evolve into the ultimate skill—[King of Justice] (Michael).

It held the authority to dominate and command.

How to evolve was currently unclear, but it was likely related to this world’s unique combat system.

—Magicules.

Unlike magic, magicules were the fundamental basis for monster activity and the basic substance that made up this world.

Even humans had some, more or less, within their bodies.

He could modify his attributes, so he wasn’t too concerned about this.

What concerned him was the latter skill, Hero’s Will.

This was a unique skill for heroes, its effect being immunity to all mental control.

Although he didn’t know if the damage nullification applied to intangible mental attacks, it was always better to be prepared.

Thinking this, Ronan nodded slightly.

After dinner, he gathered everyone in a room, preparing to ask about their skills so he could better plan the subsequent arrangements.
