Chapter 12: Chapter 2: Origin of Emperor War
Kenta nodded in response
"Yes..the Emperor war, that happened centuries ago, a war that ended mostly everything, and changed the balance of this continent..sorry..the world..even god had to interfere" he said with a grim expression.
Sarah caught his grim expression
"Wait..what do you mean 'everything' and 'the world'" she asked with curiosity and slight worry in her voice "what happened in the war?"
Kenta was silent for a moment, looking like he was searching for words
"The Emperor war.... It was a devastating war...it started as a dispute between Emperor's, There was an evil & good Emperor, all Of them are comparable to God's strength or even further...Even gods have to interfere to save humans from their cruelty" he began to tell her.
Sarah was listening intently, trying to wrap her head around the scale of the war he was describing.
"Wait... God's had to interfere?... It must have been truly catastrophic.." Sarah said, her voice laced with awe and disbelief.
Kenta nodded
"Yes...the war was brutal, and the destruction was on a scale that is hard to imagine... It is said that the war lasted for decades... Many cities and towns were destroyed, many nations were devastated. And it was the Emperor's and the Gods themselves who were fighting on the front line, as far as I know, all Emperor are LR+ rankers and some are even Higher than that.
Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing
"Emperor's... LR+ ranker's... That's insane strength" she said in disbelief
"How did it end..?" she asked.
Kenta continued to tell her
"The ending of the war was as brutal as the war itself... There was a point when things started to get out of control, and it seemed like human civilization would be completely destroyed. The god's realized the situation was worsening and they knew that they had to intervene before it was too late"
As he mentions some strong individuals in war stronger than god's and Emperor
Sarah's eyes widened at that
"What? there were individuals..stronger than even God's and Emperor's?" she said with disbelief
Kenta nodded
"Yes, there were a few individuals who possess power that exceeded even the God's and Emperor's during that war. The Naein says that they were called 'Pillar's of Naein Clan'... powerful warriors, sages, fighters and figures who fought in the war, and played a crucial role against God's and human's even Emperor's."
Sarah's mind was blown away by the information
"Pillar's of Naein Clan... They sound like Legends. I have never heard of them before... Who were they?" she asked, her curiosity piqued
Sarah listened intently.
"Go on..." she said, her eyes fixed on him
Kenta began to tell her about those people
"First, there was Ryuhei Naein, Leader of Naein Clan, a LR++ ranked warrior who wielded a spear of divine obsidian, he is Void Emperor and he has Six child's which were stronger than rest of Emperor's and they were Emperor's it selfs and two of them were stronger than Ryuhei his first and second Child, both were Beyonder Ranker"
Sarah was surprised, yet impressed
"Wow, a Void Emperor and a LR++ ranked warrior... that's insane" she said in awe "And his children were stronger than even the Emperor's?"
Kenta nodded
"Yes, his children were truly powerful warrior's. They were all known to transcend human limits and become legends of that time..let's say..the Naein's were mostly Nightmare for humanity and threat to God's, Naein's has killed several clans to grow there nation."
Sarah was shocked by that statement
"Wait... they were a threat to God's?! and they killed several clans to grow stronger...?" she said with a mix of awe and disbelief
Kenta nodded once again.
"Yes, the Naein Clan was a force to be reckoned with, they were feared not only among humans but also by god's and the Emperor's themselves, Naein has the highest potential that no one could ever have."
Sarah was intrigued by the names of these beings.
"Who were these fearsome warriors?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Kenta looked at her and began to mention their names
"Alright, let me see if I can remember the rest of their names" he said as he started to recall the names of the 6 individuals. "First one is Kyuren Naein, the dragon Emperor and first child of Ryuhei he is Beyonder Ranker which grade I don't know, but it Sayed that he can summon infinite number of dragons as much he wants an drain those summons growing his power."
Sarah was trying to process the information
"Infinite number of dragons... That's insane" she said, still trying to wrap her head around the concept
Kenta continued listing the names
"The next one is Kanji Naein, the Demon Emperor and second child of Ryuhei he is also a Beyonder Ranker, but the exact grade and type his power is unknown, he killed former Demon Emperor for Emperor title, an his former title was Ruler of Heavenly Flames"
Sarah widened her eyes in surprise
"A demon emperor? A ruler of heavenly flames?" she said, clearly shocked by the power and titles these warrior's possessed
Kenta continued naming the next person
"Next there is Himeko Naein, the Empress of Vampire and third child of Ryuhei and she is also a LR+ Ranker, her grade is unknown High', her power allows her to control and manipulate the bloods and Summon vampire her witch craft is undebatable."
Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing
"An Empress of vampires... with the power to manipulate and control blood? That's incredible and terrifying at the same time!"
Kenta nodded in agreement
"Yes, Himeko is a force to be reckoned with. She is known for her ruthlessness and cruelty. But she is extremely loyal to her father, Ryuhei Naein."
Sarah tried to take in all the information
"That's insane, each of them sounds like a legend" she said, still trying to comprehend the sheer power and status of these warriors.
After a moment, Kenta added
"There were other three child's of Ryuhei, who fought in the war. But they are not revealed, their full name and power is still secret to this day, but yah there Emperor title exists."
Sarah was intrigued
"Wait, so there are three more child's who fought in the war, but their identities and power are still unknown? Why are they hidden?" she asked, her curiosity growing.
Kenta pondered for a moment before speaking
"I'm not sure why their identities are kept secret... But some believe it's because they were too powerful, even beyond their father, Ryuhei himself, others say they were exiled or disgraced... But the truth is still a mystery, after Himeko 4th child was Empress of Soul's, 5th is Emperor of Space and sixth is not an Emperor yet the rumours Sayed he is the weakest Naein ever existed."
Sarah's mind was swimming with new information
"Powerful beyond even their father's level, exiled or disgraced... The more you tell me, the more questions I have. And the weakest Naein ever, huh?"
Kenta nodded
"Yes, the youngest child of Ryuhei is not considered to be as powerful as the rest of them. He is the only one who hasn't become an Emperor yet, and some say he might never become one."
As Kenta mentions other Emperor name's other than Naeins
Sarah was surprised that there were other Emperors as well, not just the Naeins.
"Wait, there were other non-Naein Emperors? Who were they?" she asked, intrigued.
Kenta thought for a moment before answering
"Yes, there were other Emperors apart from the Naeins. There were a total of six other Emperors who played significant roles during the war."
Kenta continued to mention the other Emperors one by one
"The first non-Naein Emperor was Hirogi, the Flame Emperor. He was known for his exceptional skills in fire magic and swordsmanship, and was one of the most powerful warriors of that time, he was an samurai that killed and fought 7 nation's."
Kenta further continued to tell her about another Emperor
"The next one was Behemoth, the Emperor of Beast, he was a half-demon. He was a towering figure, known for his immense strength and cruel control over all kinds of animals"
Kenta continued, his tone reflecting a bit of surprise
"There was also an Empress of Spirits, an unusual and benevolent figure among the Emperors. She was known for her kindness and selflessness, and was the only one who had never conquered any land for her empire.
Sarah's eyes widened at the mention of this unusually kind Empress
"Wait, there was an Empress who was actually good and benevolent? That's surprising, considering the rest were cruel and power-hungry" she said, her curiosity piqued even more.
Kenta continued the list of Emperors, mentioning Orion next
"Then there was Orion, the Emperor of Shadows. He possessed mastery over dark magic, and was known for his cunning and manipulative nature and immortality and his sword Mastery over his Legendary Death Sword."
As soon as she heard of Orion she became kind of serious, cause of everything happen in that town she start her journey, Orion killed Her only friend in this world Sylvia and he Burned the town an she couldn't even save them cause she was weak she still is.
Sarah's expression suddenly turned serious at the mention of Orion's name. Kenta noticed this and furrowed his brow, sensing that there was a deeper story behind her reaction.
"You seem to react strongly to Orion's name" he said, his voice gentle and cautious.
Sarah hesitated for a moment, her mind flooded with memories of her past. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, as she tried to suppress the anger and pain that rose within her.
"Yeah, I have my reasons" she replied, her voice bitter and strained.
Kenta's expression darkened as he continued
"The Naein Clan was responsible for killing more than 500 Emperors during that war, leaving only four non-Naein Emperors alive"
Sarah was shocked by this information
"What? Over 500 Emperors... that's an insane number. How could a single clan have exterminated so many powerful beings?"
Kenta sighed heavily
"The Naein Clan was ruthless and merciless. They showed no regard for the lives of others, and would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Their sheer strength and military prowess were unmatched, and many Emperors were either killed or forced to submit to them."
System: Sarah, Kanji is the guy you fought and almost got killed in that dungeon
Sarah's eyes widened as realization dawned upon her.
"Wait... Kanji is the guy who I fought in the dungeon?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief.
As the memories of their fight came back to her, Sarah felt a mixture of shock and discomfort.
"Oh my god... it was him" she muttered, her heart racing as she thinks over Kanji.
She remembered how Kanji had bested her in their fight, and how his power had threatened to overpower her completely.
"I can't believe it... I almost died to him" she said, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and fear.
