Chapter 231 The Origin of the Pillar
"But first, can you tell me how you found out?"
Wu Sheng asked gently.
"This operation was bound to result in the sacrifice of many people's names. Aside from the [Ghost Pillar] Ghost King, others, such as the Flame Pillar, also died in this operation."
"Why do you think that I was the one who planned the death of the Ghost Pillar Ghost King?"
After a moment's silence, the girl spoke slowly.
"In this operation, the Hundred Demons were released as bait."
"Whether Principal Bai Qi leaves the academy or not, the Ghost King will be killed. The only difference is who kills him."
"And [Snake Pillar] Mi Dou is still there. Although she is also used as bait to confuse the enemy, you should have thought about going over to finish off the Ghost King when he is seriously injured."
"So you were planning to give up the Ghost King from the very beginning."
Mr. Wu smiled.
"You are right. I wanted him to die from the beginning."
"But there is one thing you may not know. Before I did all this, I had already told him the entire plan."
"He...he knows!?"
The girl was startled.
"He knew... so why did he go?"
As soon as the girl asked the question, she guessed a possibility.
"Does he...want to commit suicide?"
Wu Sheng did not answer her question directly, but touched his forehead and then spoke slowly.
"Shuizhu, I remember your original name was Du Shasha... The Du family is also one of the top ten families in Jiuzhou. As the eldest daughter of the Du family, you originally had the most brilliant future."
"Not only that, you are also one of the direct disciples of Grandma Mei, the dean of the [Magic Academy]. You have an S-level inheritance and are the Rider Medusa in the Fate world. If nothing goes wrong, you will become the new dean of the Magic Academy with the help of your family."
"But do you remember how you came to the organization?"
The tall man Wu Sheng asked softly.
"of course I remember."
"That was my first time as a graduate, teaming up with two classmates from the academy to enter the Monster Realm for an internship."
"However, not long after entering the demon realm, we encountered a supernatural weather space cloud. The three of us were sucked into the cloud and teleported to an unknown area far away from the border of Kyushu."
"It was also there that we encountered... the eighth-level monster Rayquaza!"
"I've seen it in the academy's monster encyclopedia. It's a monster from the Pokémon world. It's said to live in the ozone layer above the clouds and can control the weather. It only appeared briefly over Kyushu Island during the first Red Moon Beast Tide."
"But we encountered it, on the ground! Leikongzuo is not a brutal monster, but that time it seemed to be chased by a more ferocious monster, panicking and violent."
“When it appeared, the hurricane-force wind in the sky swept my two companions into the sky.”
"I was almost torn to pieces by its strong winds, until I saw you and the Ghost King."
"You worked together to drive away Rayquaza and rescued me back to our base [The Hidden Rain Village]."
The girl took a long breath and spoke again.
"Although I was already the strongest student in the magic academy at that time, and I had developed nearly 80% of Medusa's inheritance, I was powerless in front of the eighth-level monster Rayquaza."
“That feeling of powerlessness is deeply engraved in my heart.”
"After that, I realized that the power of the [Magic Academy] was too weak. No, even the [Demon Hunting] Academy, the strongest academy in Kyushu, would be ridiculous in the face of such a threat."
"So I wanted to seek the protection of a greater power, so I joined the [Pillar] organization."
"When I was swept into the sky by Rayquaza, I saw the monster chasing it."
[Water Column] Du Shasha finished speaking slowly.
Mr. Wu nodded.
"Actually, after rescuing you, the Ghost King and I returned to the scene."
"Do you know why Rayquaza fell from the sky to the ground in an unusual way?"
"That's because there is a more powerful monster hunting it behind it."
"There are dozens of monsters, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Each one of them has a pressure that is no less than that of Liekongzuo."
"Behind the group of monsters, there are four monsters that are so huge that they almost stand tall above the sky."
"Just a glance and the Ghost King and I were filled with deep fear. We froze in place and dared not move."
"Especially the Ghost King. He sensed that among the four monsters, there was one with a breath that he was very familiar with."
"That was the Horse King Monster that almost crushed the Seven Star Monster Vampire to death with one kick, leaving a giant hoof print on the ground."
"Beside the horse king, there are three monsters of similar size to him."
"But the truly terrifying thing is the one that drives these four monsters. Every step they take makes the earth tremble. It's like a monster that was forcibly squeezed together by countless monsters."
"I can no longer judge the strength of this monster. Is it level 10? Or higher?"
"This kind of monster, even if it wants to destroy the world, it should be easy."
Wu Sheng closed his eyes, as if he was trying hard to recall the appearance of the monster.
[Water Column] The girl looked at him straight. Although she was also surprised that a world-destroying monster had appeared in the demon realm, she was even more confused.
"What does this... have to do with us?"
Wu Sheng pointed to a map on the table. This was the map of the Demon Realm and Kyushu that he had drawn over hundreds of years.
"Do you know that Jiuzhou is the only country on this blue planet?"
"Under the invasion of monsters, countless countries perished in this monster carnival."
"Why do you think Jiuzhou has not been destroyed for such a long time? Is it because of the powerful national defense formation? Or is it because of the powerful heroic guards?"
"Neither! I was just lucky."
"No demon beasts above level eight have invaded Jiuzhou. This is the only reason Jiuzhou can survive."
"And now, I have deduced the route of that group of super high-level monsters. They will pass through Jiuzhou."
"Just passing by will destroy Kyushu."
"This is the fate that our human world cannot escape sooner or later. It is the inevitable death!"
Wu Sheng said heavily.
"Two hundred years ago, as the first dean, I sealed the seven-star monster Nine-Tailed Fox, but I was also seriously injured."
"In order to maintain the academy's deterrence, I resigned from the position of dean of the Demon Hunter Academy, and then went to wander in the demon realm alone for ten years."
"After witnessing the law of the jungle in the demon realm, I realized how ridiculous it is for the Kyushu world to protect the weak."
"I have survived attacks from monsters beyond my imagination time and time again, and by chance, I gained a new kind of power."
"That is the power of the Jinchūriki."
