Chapter 192: My Exploration Of The Marvellous Dark V
...................
In a gentle and grateful tone, Nozer answered, "Our benefactor, an outsider like you...
He helped our people when they were at their lowest and built safe heaven for us and we made use of that to grow into what we became today. That was hundreds of years ago.
He disappeared after which and we never saw him again, my forefathers knew so little information about him as he never stays in one place for more than a few minutes, literarily.
He was also quite discreet so my ancestors never learned much about him. Don Freecss... This is his name. What about you? You don't look like you had a hard time in this dangerous land at all. Are there people as strong as you?"
"I'm pretty sure I'm strong enough to roam the entire land freely, that's all. And no, I'm the strongest of the outsiders that arrived here. The ants, what happened to them?"
Nozer raised his brow in puzzlement, "I don't know but it's likely just some wild creature that destroyed their nest. Why do you ask? Do you know anything about them?"
"The queen of the Ants, if she disappeared from here then she's likely the one that appeared in my home place and she caused a bit of trouble there." Explained Yasuo and added in his mind, 'Welcomed trouble.'
Then Yasuo continued as it's his turn to ask a question, "Tell me the history of your clan and those scarlet eyes because when I visited her clan, they all had the same eyes though they seem to be activating them constantly.
However, when I talked to her, she told me nothing useful, all I could detect is lies and she seems to despise your clan. Also, how old is she?"
Nozer shook his head answering, "I really don't know as much as I'd like to know.
I know that we have the same origin and we were once just one united clan but for some reason, the clan split into two clans. The clan I rule today and the clan you visited.
"The history of our eyes goes back to before the clan was even formed so I basically know nothing of it.
I know from my ancestors that one responsible for the clan separating was an insane old lady but that's all I know though that lady being her is not so far-fetched.
I know the two clans hated each other but after a few generations, the distance between us only got bigger and bigger as many of my forefathers never met them ever again no are we interested in doing so.
Describe you outsiders' home place, how is it? How is life there? And are there any dangers similar to the ones here? And tell me about the Ant Queen that appeared there."
"Compared to this place, it's safe heaven that gave humanity the opportunities and the necessities to advance, a modern lifestyle you can say.
There is very little danger there as humans are the most dangerous creatures, even to ourselves. We basically have a firm grasp over the area and very few things could harm us.
The only outside dangers are things that come from the dark continent and again, they only come due to our curiosity and greed.
One of such dangers is the Ant Queen who was able to give birth to the King, but we were able to handle it.
Advancement in technologies is what we focus on the most in the known world. That's what we call our home and we respectively call this unknown place the dark continent."
Yasuo then asked one last question, "The purple rose, is it your symbol? Why?"
Nozer shrugged his shoulder at the question as the man has been asking him a lot of questions he doesn't have an answer to.
"Apparently our benefactor left that mark when building our city but my forefathers never got to know what it means. They still took it as their symbol though and I'll continue to take it as such. Why such a question?"
"Violet rose huh. Nothing really, perhaps it's just a coincidence but it means something to me."
Answered Yasuo feeling a bit satisfied with the answers he got, the rest, he can investigate himself, "I pretty much learned all I needed so that's all."
Nozer nodded as even though he wanted to know more, he decided to leave it to later as he said.
"I'm interested in learning more so if there is anything you need, just ask and you can always visit us later as you seem to know where our home is."
A little bit of puzzlement was apparent in his eyes that reflected the view of a massive city hidden between the numerous dark hills around.
A colossal city that stands far above the ground. It wasn't floating, no, the city was built on a massive platform and that platform itself was standing on ten massive metallic legs.
Its form was similar to spiders. A spider-like structure engraved with some special inscriptions all over it, especially on the ten metallic legs.
"I will be sure to. Also, you have a beautiful home." Remarked Yasuo as the black dragon named Darco stabilized himself on a black cloud of his own creation far above the city.
"Really? I thought it looks a bit bland from the outside. At least, in contrast to the insides." Remarked Nozer raising his brows at Yasuo's words, 'Or can he see more than what I can?'
"Well, see you later." Said Nozerdimor as he jumped from the dragon's back going into a free fall to the city miles below him.
That however didn't seem to faze him at all as once he reached enough distance to the city, two massive red wings spurted from his back.
Large wings he can fully control as he moved them to lower his velocity and gently land on a specific building he lives in.
He then lifted his head looking at the black massive dragon flying away, quite apparent even in the darkness of the night.
"Interesting," Remarked Yasuo, "Too interesting."
He wasn't standing on the black dragon that flew away anymore. Now, he's standing in the middle of a dark alleyway within the city.
The bright vibrant city even in the middle of the night. Lights everywhere in contrast to how desolate and dark it looked from outside.
The buildings and all the structures of the city were mostly made with stones, well-made stones resulting in well-made structures though some are made of metal.
Nozer left many people back in the Colosseum yet the city still seems quite lively with thousands of people strolling around in the middle of the night let alone the ones sleeping or within their home.
Peacefulness, the city was flourishing and people were at peace feeling safe in the embrace of their home, like none of the threats outside could pose a threat to them.
Yasuo with his strange clothes still on, relatively strange to the city residents' traditional outfits. He walked out of the alleyway for all to see.
He walked through the exquisite streets of the city, well-lit streets vibrant with life. Yet none of the inhabitants seem to notice him as if he doesn't exist
He walked and teleported around avoiding the incoming people that were about to collide with him as if they can't see him at all.
They can't, even his unrivaled Zetsu wouldn't be able to create the current situations, there is something deeper at play here.
An ability he recently assimilated as his genes took too long to fully to do so, Meleoron's ability which can make him undetectable by sight, hearing, smell, touch, preternatural perception, or even En.
He walked to one of the many sources of lights available across the city, the source of light lighting up the street in a light blue color.
A large glass ball dangling from a pole by the side of the street. A black wire was connecting the ball with the pole, and what is special about it is the light engravings on it.
They seem to be transmitting electricity from somewhere and somehow producing light, a vibrant smooth light.
Yasuo then continued walking through the streets strolling around and checking their stores and restaurants, nothing too fancy, quite traditional in fact.
'They have a currency huh. A well-structured society, did Don helped in creating it, or did they come up with it themselves?' Thought Yasuo looking at the purple coin in his hand, a distinct shape of a rose engraved on it.
'Violet Rose, the second most important ability in the last phase,' His eyes were gleaming in bright light as he added in his mind, 'The purple rose that grows all around the ground beneath the city.'
He added in his mind as he was looking at the vast field of purple roses beneath the city, as he floated beneath the city after warping space around him shaping the reality around him to his suiting.
He looked at the metallic platform above him with a clear distinct engraving of a rose on it, a slight shadow of purple could be noticed on it if one looked closely.
'Don left it huh, why?' Questioned Yasuo in his mind as he turned his attention to the beautiful field of violet roses beneath his feet.
A vast field created by the clan's grateful people to honor their benefactor as well as honor their new symbol.
Yasuo picked that purple rose as his feet touched the ground and remarked as its scent reached him, "Beautiful yet incredibly dangerous, poisonous... Interesting."
