The Legend Of Lyan 2

Candour

Wuuushu!

No one had appeared after Lyan shouted, only a gust of wind sound could be heard passing through.

Seeing nothing between the gods and demons responding to her, Lyan clenched her hand hard.

He looked up at the sky furiously and again loudly exclaimed.

“OUT! I SAID GET OUT, STANDBY!”

“Ly-Lyan ..” Yuna who witnessed the incident felt completely guilty. Because he hid the fact that he had eliminated the Catastrophe, Lyan still believed that there was currently a god or demon who was watching him.

Feeling unable to let Lyan continue to hope anymore, Yuna intended to immediately tell the young man the true incident.

“KELUAAAR!”

“Hen-Stop, Lyan!” yuna shouted who was already behind Lyan. “You yell until whenever there won't be a single one of them that will appear. Trust me!”

Lyan turned her head towards Yuna, feeling strange at the woman's words. “What do you mean?”

Yuna lowered her head. “I'm sorry, Lyan, actually ..”

Broadly speaking Yuna tells about the beginning of how she was miraculously able to meet the existence of all the desires of the universe —Hasrat Life— after successfully absorbing the spirits of tribal leaders. Yuna also revealed about the Spirit Promise she completed so that the Desire of Life could grant her one wish.

Initially Yuna's wish was only to save all the inhabitants of the Light Continent, but since her life span was not enough, Yuna ended up changing her request to eliminate the Young Man's calamity.

Hearing that made Lyan's expression turn cold. “So, all this is because of you? Why weren't you honest from the start?”

Yuna lowered her head again, not daring to look at Lyan. “Ma-I'm sorry, Lyan.”

Lyan looked at the sky for a moment while thinking about everything that Yuna had revealed.

The curse of Astaroth required a great lifetime beyond the lifetime of a Universal Hermit like Yuna. While the Devil of Sin who can eliminate the Curse of Astaroth like Asmodeus cannot completely eliminate the Catastrophe. Lyan predicted Life's Desire to do the same as Asmodeus did to her, only extinguishing the already-grown catastrophe, but would potentially return if anyone took back control of her body.

After a moment of silence, Lyan then turned to look at Yuna.

“Then how much lifetime did you spend?”

Lyan's question made Yuna swallow her saliva, she became nervous. “I-It ...”

“Of course not a little, right?” lyan. “Although Asmodeus can eliminate it easily, this is no ordinary curse. I'm sure you've spent most of your life.”

“Why are you doing this, Yuna? I never asked you to do it! I can handle it myself!”

“Ly-Lyan, relax. If I become Xora later then my lifetime will be..”.

Yuna's words paused as Lyan suddenly laughed.

“Looks like I should tell you a little bit what happened to me while absorbing the soul crystal.”

Lyan told me about herself who was struggling to absorb all the demonic power that came from the soul crystal as well as the god power that came from Rain. At the same time as he had become a hermit, his consciousness suddenly split into two. The First Consciousness is tasked with continuously absorbing the powers and memories of gods and demons, while the Second Consciousness moves to the Silence Room to study the understandings gained from the memories of gods.

The attempt to become Xora experienced many failures because it was much more difficult than being a Hermit, but after passing failure after failure and continuing to try without knowing the word surrender, he said, The Second Consciousness finally understood the conditions for becoming Xora which required an understanding of the principles of the universe as well as a lifetime of 900,000 years to be at stake.

At this time failure should not occur because once it fails, the hope of becoming Xora is almost impossible to achieve again. If it wasn't for Rain continuing to power the First Consciousness so that the Second Consciousness gained more god understanding, it was likely that Lyan wouldn't be the Xora she was today.

Yuna could feel the sadness from the look in Lyan's eyes when Rain's name was by her. “Lyan, about Rain .. I'm sorry.”

Yuna knew Rain was one of the most valuable figures in Lyan's life because all this time she had been helping him through various difficulties. Not only that, Rain had willingly sacrificed himself to help Lyan absorb the soul crystal. In Yuna's heart she thanked the figure profusely.

Lyan nodded her head, her cold countenance changed after hearing Yuna's words.

Lyan realized he had been carried away by emotions. After losing Rain, he no longer wanted to lose the people around him because it was painful. Hearing Yuna sacrifice her own life in order to eliminate the Catastrophe really made Lyan angry for fear that bad things would happen to Yuna after the sacrifice so that her emotions became unstable.

Lyan decided to calm herself down first by catching her breath several times.

After feeling better, Lyan again continued her unfinished story and spoke more gently to Yuna.

“Yuna, all I know after gaining the understanding of the gods is that the Hermit of the Universe his average lifespan is below 1,000,000 years. With the amount of your life remaining after obliterating the Catastrophe, I think your chance of becoming Xora is almost impossible now. Sorry, Yuna, this was all caused by me.”

“No, Lyan! What are you saying?! This is all also my own wish.”

“After all I don't care if I can't be Xora! So no need to think too much about it, okay?”

Lyan smiled in relief at Yuna's words. “Thank you, Yuna.”

Yuna nodded softly as she returned the young man's smile.

“Yuna, actually I really want to know how big a lifetime you have sacrificed.” Lyan clasped tightly onto Yuna's hand, Yuna's face instantly flushed red and she quickly lowered her head not daring to look at the young man.

“Do you still not want to tell me?”

Lyan frowned seeing Yuna just lowering her head like she was not listening to him.

“Yuna?”

“Halo, Yuna?”

“A-a-what, Lyan?” Yuna who had just regained her senses with a call Lyan replied nervously.

Lyan sighed. “What's wrong with you, Yuna?”

Yuna shook her head. “Ti-No. I'm fine.”

“Hm, looks like you still don't want to tell me.” Lyan sighed again. “Alright, I won't mind if you keep it a secret. Besides, I believe you won't do anything stupid until you sacrifice your life until you're under 1,000.”

“Me-Whatever why, Lyan?” yuna asked while glancing down.

Lyan's eyebrows shot up at Yuna's question. “It's obviously dangerous, Yuna. This is the basic thing that all who have become ascetics know. How could you not know? ”

“Ber-dangerous? What's?! You better get rid of your hands first, Lyan!” Yuna felt unable to focus on hearing as long as Lyan tightly grasped her hand.
