Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 140 140:Who Are You?[2]



Various visions flashed before her eyes making her shudder.

Giving him a deep stare, she suppressed her fear and asked cautiously, "What do you want to achieve? Do you want to wash the world in blood?"

"Instead of asking me, you should ask those bitches about this. You, out of everyone else, should know about your fate."

"Tsk!"The man clicked his tongue with a smirk.

"Poor and abandoned pet, you also had worse."

His words sounded like thunder and as her eyes turned green, various images flashed before her eyes.

Her expression became pale and her body started to shake. Her eyes widened with shock and disbelief seeing the scene of herself crying pitifully like a lost soul.

Noticing the bewilderment, on her face, a deep smile formed over the figure\'s face.

"Like everyone else, you are also just a chess piece for them. Everything is a ploy in the name of protection."

Luna opened her lips but no words came out from her voice.

After a moment, a trembling voice echoed.

"So, what is your goal? To overthrow them."

"Overthrow them? Hahaha!"

The man burst into laughter.

"What a joke! I have already lived my life. I don\'t wish to interfere. All I did was give a chance to the chess pieces to overturn the whole board and flip it upside down."

"There are only two ways for a chess piece to survive."A vicious smile formed over his lips.

"One is to become such an important piece that you can\'t be discarded even if they wanted and another is to reach the other end of the game and be powerful enough to tear down the entire board."

"As per what happens in the end, I don\'t give a shit."

A hint of indifference appeared on his face as if he didn\'t care.

As soon as his declaration fell, his figure started to turn blurry.

Luna, who was still staring at the unfathomable figure, was forced awake. The feeling that the figure was emanating wasn\'t something that even God could compare.

"Despite my words, if you want to kill him, you can. But let me give you a piece of advice. Kill him without giving him a chance to escape because if he ever escapes, the entire world would be plunged into a nightmare. Human hearts are bound by the chain of morals, emotions, and relations binding down the beast inside. The tougher they are to crack the more grim consequences will be, once broken and this guy is much more of a monster than I am."

"He doesn\'t follow the principle of an eye for an eye.Rather if you take his eye, he will take your whole head irrespective of the consequences."

With this last bit of declaration, the vision in Luna\'s eyes faded away and everything returned to normal.

....

Lucas started to sweat profusely as soon as he heard the question.

Not only that but seeing Luna\'s expression becoming as pale as sheet paper, his heart screamed in fear.

Unaware of the heaven-defying conversation that had transpired in the background, Lucas thought that her eyes seemed to have seen through everything.

Luna, who was staring ahead with a blank look, suddenly turned her gaze towards Lucas, frightening him.

With a pained expression, she squeezed out her words softly.

"Tell me who you are to Julian?"

"Who are you?"

"A friend or foe?"

The moment Lucas heard her words, cold water poured over his burning throat. For a moment, Lucas thought about his luck which had always dumped him but suddenly acted in his favour.

"I am her frie..No, I am her helper. I don\'t deserve to be friends with Her Highness."Lucas muttered hurriedly.

Luna observed Lucas\'s anxious expression. More than that, she was surprised by the genuine concern for Julian in his voice.

Luna pondered for a moment and stared at the blank ceiling.

"Julian should have been born with a sickly body. From birth, her body shouldn\'t be able to bear the burden of her power. The previous Saintess predicted that she wouldn\'t live past 30."

"What?"Lucas screamed.

"How is this possible? Though Her Highness suffers from random chills attacks, it isn\'t lethal."Lucas asked in bewilderment.

"Ohh! So, you know about that. Except for the Imperial family and a select few, no one knew."

Lucas felt chill seeing Luna grinning with a wolfish smile.

\'Did I step into the enemy trap?\'

"I am not lying, Lucas."

"She should have been a weak feeble girl that needs others\' protection to live but isn\'t she too strong and fierce?"

"Just say what you want to say, Saintess? Don\'t talk in a roundabout way."

Luna shook her head and started to narrate a story contrary to Lucas\'s expectations.

"There was a being who sold his soul to the Devil in the primordial ages. That being rose to the epitome of power and earned the title of God with his own hands. He had three children who carried his bloodline. The second was a tyrant that would lose his reason as soon as he began to fight.The second one was cruel and crafty while the third one was kind and weak.Out of them, the third son was despised for having a soft heart and was abandoned by their family."

"Do you know who are they?\'\'

Unbeknownst to him, Lucas was drawn into the story. His curiosity was piqued as soon he heard something that wasn\'t in the novel\'s contents.

Seeing Luna pausing a bit, Lucas shook her head.

"The first child became the ancestor of the Demon. The Second child passed the crafty bloodline to his offspring. The two of them were big figures so what about the third one?"

"Ancestor of demons," Lucas murmured in disbelief. There was something like that in history. There were some vague hints in the novel but nothing was concrete.

\'Sure enough, the waters of the world are too deep.\'

"When the other two engaged in war, the third one, unable to bear the sheer cruelty, decided to hide and take refuge in the human world. He was calm, rational and kind, unlike his brothers. He led a good life, married and had children. He lived a blessed life until..."Luna paused a bit.

Lucas\'s body shivered uncontrollably and his blood boiled for some reason. Though it lasted only for a moment, Lucas was startled to see his body reacting like this.

Maybe his heart was excited listening to the myth.

"The two brothers wanted to overthrow their father but in doing so, they also started to fight and they split into three factions. The flames of war reached our world. Everything was turned into dust. The flames burnt humans who lived and among them, was his family. By the end, all his dear ones left making him fall into an endless pit of sadness. For months, he stood before their grave and mourned while the war went on unbridled until the fury in his heart burst out. "

"He wanted peace, he wanted happiness and wanted to live his life away from the cruelty of his family, but it was then he realised that he can\'t run, he can\'t hide, he can\'t escape. Being born into that family was a curse and there is only one way to wipe that curse which was to kill them. And from there,began the journey of Blood Thirsty Asura, The God Of Slaughter."

"It was a good story. But what does it have to do with Her Highness?"Lucas asked, confused by Saints\' weird stories.

"The noble family of Demons, The Lockhearts and Grand Duke of Ralph are descendants of these three families respectively have blood-red eyes. This bloodline is commonly called the Devil\'s bloodline and all of them are cruel, bloodthirsty and cold."

Lucas, understanding the crux of the matter, felt a sense of trepidation" Does Her Highness have the Devil\'s blood?"

Luna nodded and spoke with a saddened expression"Yes, and that was the reason for the alienation Julian suffered during childhood. Rumours spread out that she isn\'t the Emperor\'s child and that someone had killed the real Princess and replaced Julian with her or she might be an illegitimate child. Since the world was busy with the matter of the North, The Emperor didn\'t have time to look after it. Moreover, he had never imagined that Julian would be treated so unfairly. When he learnt this, he was heartbroken and conducted a public parental test to prove this. I remember the Saintess\' shocked expression as even she could not see through fate and find the reason for her possessing this."

"Maybe the Imperial lineage have the genes of that Devil bloodline. Someone from that family might have married their lineage years ago."Lucas concluded.

"Maybe or maybe not. The devil bloodline in Julian\'s body is quite faint. This didn\'t affect her personality severely but it managed to change her constitution and improve her physique and except for the icy illness, she could lead a long life unless she stepped into 8-Star. From there the illness would be quite severe."

After Luna gave a brief, Lucas asked"You divulged some great secret but why did you say it to me? If Her Highness knew about this there would be grave consequences for me."

He may be silenced for real if she knew this.

"Because yours and her fate are twisted quite weirdly."

"Sorry, I don\'t believe in this fate bullshit."Lucas refused.

"Say that to your bad luck that is waiting for an opportunity to strike down at any moment."

Lucas\'s expression turned ashen on hearing this. The Saintess was too brutal, stabbing right at the point that hurt most.

"Lucas, go after her and I will owe you a favour."

"What do you mean to go after her? Was she kidnapped for real?"Lucas asked in bewilderment.

"She used an artifact to disguise herself as me and instead of me."
