"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Ryuga didn't mind and went straight to the point.
"Compared to that, what are you referring to about the spirit tortoise?"
In the dark hotel room, the two of them looked at each other.
Ryuga's face didn't show any emotions, while Oster Penglai, although she had an extremely foxy appearance, her behavior was very serious.
"Yes, then I will do my best to answer your doubts."
Oster nodded slightly, then lowered her charming eyes and looked a little sad.
"I don't know if hero knows, but actually, outside our world, there is a special barrier covering it. This barrier can be used to protect our world from the invasion of the waves."
With Oster's explanation, Ryuga's understanding of this world deepened.
Ryuga remembered that when he went to the outside of the world and entered the Elf World, he did see a thick barrier outside the world.
But if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be many cracks on the barrier.
"That barrier is now damaged and can't perform its original function, which led to the wave disaster invading this world again after hundreds of years."
So that's why.
Ryuga also had some guesses back then, and his conclusion was similar to what Oster said. It was just that he didn't have any conclusive evidence, so he didn't jump to conclusions.
"And the guardian beast's duty is to collect a large amount of energy to repair the cracks on the barrier, and once again block the waves from entering the world, delaying the arrival of the waves."
At this point, Oster's expression became very complicated.
"And the way to collect energy … is to steal the life force of millions, tens of millions of humans and demons, and use their life force to repair the barrier. As long as it does this, it can delay the arrival of the waves."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold and solemn.
In order to protect this world, the Spirit Turtle had to keep killing, releasing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of demons to go around the world, and collect a large amount of life force through killing.
In this way, it could perform its duty as a guardian beast, and protect the world from the disaster of the waves.
However, if that were the case, the spirit turtle that went on a killing spree would undoubtedly become the enemy of all living beings. It would become a 'world-destroying monster' and a target that countless humans would want to kill.
How ironic. It was supposed to be a guardian beast that protected the world, but in the end, it became a monster that destroyed the world.
This was because protecting the world and protecting humans were two completely different concepts.
And in order to protect this world, the Spirit Tortoise had no choice but to sacrifice a large number of humans to prevent the world from being invaded by the tides.
With this, he finally understood why the Hero sealed the Spirit Tortoise.
In ancient times, when the Spirit Tortoise went on a killing spree to repair the World Barrier, the humans of this world must have summoned the Legendary Heroes. The Heroes must have sealed the demon that destroyed the world.
After all, the Spirit Tortoise that had been massacring humans had already become a great calamity that threatened the world at that point in time. It completely fulfilled the conditions to summon a hero.
Now that the barrier had cracked and the waves had reappeared, a hero from another world had arrived and unsealed the Spirit Tortoise.
Due to its duty, the Spirit Tortoise once again took action. It released a large number of familiars that swept through the surrounding countries, using the lives of the humans of those countries to repair the cracks in the barrier.
The elves chose not to tell the Hero because the Spirit Tortoise's actions were to ensure the safety of the world in the first place. From their point of view, this was a necessary action. Between the world and humans, the elves would definitely stand on the side of the world.
"How do you know so much?"
Ryuga stared closely at Oster, a bit suspicious of her identity.
Her aura was constantly drifting around her body, as if it wasn't there at all. She couldn't tell the depth of her aura, not to mention the fact that she knew so much and her appearance was abnormally charming.
No matter how he thought about it, this woman's identity was very suspicious.
"This is because … I'm also the Spirit Tortoise's familiar"
Oster hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. She didn't know what decision she had made, but her eyes gradually became firm. She told Ryuga her true identity.
"My official name is the Spirit Tortoise's familiar (humanoid). It can be said that I'm an existence close to the Spirit Tortoise's consciousness. I've existed since a long time ago. I received the Spirit Tortoise's order to become the concubine of the Penglai King. Then I seduced him and made him carry out … inhumane rule."
Indeed.
Ryuga used the Monster Identification skill and found that Oster's name was indeed the Spirit Tortoise's familiar (humanoid). She was the same kind of creature as the bats and snowmen that killed people outside.
Moreover, her interface didn't have any level or ability value. She looked very special. She should be a special individual among the Spirit Tortoise's familiar. That was why Ryuga couldn't sense her aura.
Since she was the Spirit Tortoise's familiar, she naturally had to listen to the Spirit Tortoise's orders and fulfill the Spirit Tortoise's duty as a guardian beast.
The reason why she appeared as a seductive woman was that she could confuse the King of the country she was in, just like Tamamo no Mae and Daji. She could make the King create chaos in the country and wantonly kill people.
Penglai Country happened to implement a closed-door policy. No matter what happened, it couldn't be spread abroad. It was the most suitable place to be a slaughterhouse.
Ryuga also remembered that she said that she wasn't welcomed in this country. She even deliberately appeared in a cloak and a hood, as if she didn't want to be seen by people. Perhaps it was because she had a bad reputation in this country and was hated by everyone.
Once she was recognized, she would definitely be criticized, insulted, and beaten by the people.
"Please, Master Hero of the Bow!"
When Ryuga was thinking, Oster had already stepped forward and held his wrist.
"No matter what, please defeat me as soon as possible. If this continues, there will be more casualties!"
She looked very anxious and tried to persuade Ryuga.
She was the Spirit Tortoise's familiar in human form. At the same time, she was also an existence close to the Spirit Tortoise's consciousness.
The so-called defeat referred to defeating the Spirit Tortoise and stopping her from expanding the disaster.
In this way, Ryuga was puzzled.
"Why should I stop it?"
Ryuga raised his head, looked at Oster, and slapped her hand away.
"Just by sacrificing some human lives, the world can be saved. The wave won't happen. The human race as a whole and the world itself won't perish. Isn't this a good thing?"
Wasn't it a simple calculation problem?
The weight of the world itself and the human race as a whole would definitely be more important than some human lives. There was such a safe method but she didn't carry it out. She even wanted to stop her own body from carrying it out. This was really illogical in Ryuga's eyes.
