Chapter 86: Ch 86: Royal Inheritances (3)
The nation these people were from was called Annasteliana Empire. This was an Empire ruled by the ancient spirit humans and many other races also joined them in creating this nation. It was one of the strongest nations of that time.
The royal family of this nation was well known throughout the land to give birth to very talented people almost in every generation. That was also one of the reasons why the power of this nation had not decreased and instead had increased since its founding.
But even this royal family with a very rich heritage and a lot of top tier descendants had expected to face an anomaly. An anomaly named Princess Anneshia who was born as the second daughter of the current king.
Calling Anneshia talented would be an understatement. Even the words like genius or prodigy were unfit for her. She was so unbelievable that even her own mother and father were scared of her.
Anneshia held a weapon for the first time when she was 3 years old and it was a national treasure level sword that no one in the history of this nation had ever been able to use.
Then the very next day even with her small body she was able to defeat royal knights who had practiced their sword for thousands of years in pure swordsmanship.
The level of her talent was freaky. It was unbelievable how insanely talented she was. When Anneshia turned 15 she had already became the strongest person of not only of this kingdom but also among the neighbouring kingdoms.
She was so powerful that it was almost impossible for a single nation to defeat her even after using all its powers.
After hearing about Princess Anneshia's talents, the little bit of pride that Rein, Stella and Tasha had managed to develop had completely disappeared.
The description given in the diary looked to be accurate and not exaggerated and according to that description a 15 years old Anneshia was way stronger than the current Rein.
Obviously Rein, Tasha and Stella were also able to destroy several nations without any problem in this era. But at that era, all the nations had dozens of powerhouses in the transcendental rank and some of them were said to reach a height even above that level.
So it would have been impossible for Rein to take on a whole nation which had several powerhouses who could match him in power.
...
So what happened after that was easy to guess. With her insane level of powers Anneshia had no supporters. It might look like with her powers she would be well liked by her family as that power would be useful for them at the very least but that was not the case.
It was true for a certain threshold but Anneshia's powers were way above that threshold. If she ever went berserk, her nation would not be able to stop her. A power that could not be controlled was not a good thing and instead was a bad thing.
So even her own home wanted to get rid of her, which was also what all the other neighbouring nations wished for.
So 7 big nations and 19 small nations teamed up together to get rid of this threat. And even then instead of attacking from the front, they preferred to use underhanded means to gain an advantage on her.
First her home nation betrayed her and made her to ingest poison which was capable of killing even some of the strongest monsters. Then the most powerful people from each nation teamed up against her and attacked her in full force.
The army from the participating nations were also ready to engage her as soon as any order was given.
So, what as she result ? It was a massacre. Anneshia was way more stronger than they had expected. She defeated the team of all the strongest people so easily that it looked like a bunch of kids were trying to fight a warrior.
It was not even a battle.
As her home nation had betrayed her first, that day Anneshia wiped out that nation from the world map first. The people who were hiding here were the princes of the nation who came to hide in this place with their bodyguards. They wanted to use the formation here to somehow stall Anneshia.
But that turned out to be a useless plan as Anneshia was able to break the formation with just a casual swing of her sword. But then she got attacked by people from other nations so she focused on them.
But before going after that she turned the formation into a trapping formation and the princes were trapped here and died in agony and hunger after hundreds or thousands of years.
This dairy was written by that man after getting trapped in this realm. The story written by him was not as straight forward as Rein was told. Actually this story was filled with curse words and slang targeted toward princess Anneshia. But that made perfect sense.
She trapped them here and let them to slowly die in pain and hunger. So obviously they were going to curse her.
After she was done telling the story, Stella also went to check the lake out. Even though it was not very useful for Rein and Tasha, this lake actually helped Stella out quite a bit.
Stella was almost equivalent to an Primordial Elf but the key thing that she was still a little bit short of truly becoming one.
This lake was able to give her that last little push she needed to finally overcome this trouble. This transformation did not increased her powers drastically as Stella was almost almost a Primordial Elf but it did allowed her finally feel complete.
This was a type of feeling that was hard to understand for anyone who had not personally felt it before. Stella had already felt incomplete because of her condition. It was never able to hinder her in any way but this this type of feeling was not good at all and was also extremely uncomfortable.
So all in all, the expedition to this secret realm turned out to be very successful. Not only Rein and his lovers were able to know what happened to be the powerful nation. Stella was also able finally gain the thing she was trying to get for so many years.
Before leaving this place and going to the next destination, Rein and Stella worked together to create another formation to hide place. Rein wanted to use this as a personal realm for his lovers and friends to use. So he set this formation up to hide and to protect this place.
After leaving the area where the Lake of Nirvana was located, next Rein's group went to check out the next Inheritance on their list which was the memory transfer crystal.
This item was located inside another another secret realm but this secret realm was smaller than the previous one and for some reason did not have a protective formation around it. Rein was not sure why that was the case.
But it became clear why as the memory crystal was not present here. And from some of the extremely old signs, it looked like there had been a big battle here for some reason. Obviously a sacred place like this would not be tainted with war without a dire situation.
So according to Rein's deduction, he guessed that the princess had probably came here to either destroy the memory crystal or to take it away.
So the fourth location turned out to be worthless to Rein's group. Rein still decided to give this secret realm to the Okniser family as a gift for his friend Xa. A realm like this had many uses for a large family like that.
Now only the last place was left to be searched which had the Soul Jade inside. What would they be able to find there ?
