[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 841 Eilish's Past I

"The enemy set up a trap. Lady Eilish and Eight Head fought enemies that were at the level of Shackled Realm. I don't know the exact things that happened since the shockwaves were too strong but Fourth Head appeared. They fought ridiculously strong people. It became too chaotic and some unknown power was used. It knocked down several thousands of people within a radius of ten kilometers.

"I just heard Lady Eilish's crying voice and Eight Head and Fourth Head saying stop to Lady Eilish. They are saying to stop releasing this power since it affected both allies and enemies. That's what I heard before I passed out. I woke up a week later and the war had already ended."

Souta listened to their words. He raised his hand to stop them from speaking.

The two witches quickly shut their mouths as they stared at Souta, waiting for his question. They knew what they should do and shouldn't in front of the leader.

Souta rubbed his chin before he asked, "What is that power that knocked you out? Can you describe it to me?"

"I don't know what it is My Lord, but it feels like it's some sort of miasma. It's too strong luckily I was far from the center where the miasma was coming from and I used all of my energy to protect my body from harm. That miasma was like a faint dark smoke that spread out on the battlefield at an alarming rate... I..." The young witch hesitated as he glanced at Souta before he averted his eyes.

"What is it? Did you see something there?" Souta raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, My Lord... But..." The young witch hesitated once again.

"But what? I will not punish you or anything. Just tell me what it is." Souta said.

"The miasma that killed our comrades felt like it came from... Lady Eilish... The energy signature in the miasma is similar to hers." The young witch said before he looked down.

"It came from Eilish...?!" Souta narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he heard this.

"I don't know, My Lord, it has a similar energy signature with Lady Eilish and at the same time, it feels like it something fused with it. There is another unknown energy signature that I didn't recognize. I'm sure that it didn't come from Eight Head and Fourth Head." The young witch said.

Souta could see with his [Galaxy Eyes] that the person in front of him wasn't lying. There were telling him what they saw and felt but there was a chance that they were just mistaken. Nevertheless, this was vital information.

The things that happened there seem not ordinary.

It seems that he needed to free some of his to visit Eight Head and Fourth Head after he finished talking with Eilish.

He was sure that it wasn't simple. There was something behind the tribes in Earthen Woods.

That land... He would clean it later.

He asked them a few more questions before he dismissed them. He got something that he couldn't understand.

Why Eilish was crying?

What was that miasma?

He sighed and walked in the direction of Eilish's room.

After a few minutes of walking, Souta arrived in front of Eilish's room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock!

Souta waited for a few seconds and nothing happened. There was no response at all, but he could sense Eilish's presence inside.

He sighed and decided to open the door by himself.

"Excuse me."

Souta entered the room and surveyed his surrounding. He noticed that Eilish was on the corner with a blanket over her slender body.

"Eilish..."

He stared at her and noticed that she was pretty much weak. Her attention was focused on other things and it seems that she hadn't eaten anything this whole time.

Eilish weakly raised and looked at him with blank eyes.

Souta sighed before he squatted down and looked at her in the eyes. He noticed that she was feeling complicated and it seems Gragas was right. Something really happened in the battle against the tribes of Earthen Woods.

"What happened?" He calmly asked.

"I..." Eilish hesitated for a moment.

"You can tell me everything, I'll lend my ears to you," Souta said as gently as he could. He wondered what happened to her.

Now that he mentioned it, Eilish came to Imperium for a reason. She wanted to come here not just because she wanted to see the Divine World. There was a reason why she insisted on following him.

"If you have any problems I'll help you to the best of my abilities," Souta added.

"I... I've met my brother..." Eilish whispered as she tightened her grip on the blanket over her body.

"You've met your brother...? Here in Imperium?! Isn't that a good thing?" Souta said as he calmly watched the change in her expression.

This was outside of his expectation. But it seems to be the right time to learn about Eilish background. He needed to understand her more.

So her brother appeared on the battlefield... He could a little bit understand why she was sad if the brother she was talking about became her enemy.

It wasn't a sweet reunion.
