Truth Seekers

Chapter 64: Lost Quest

Richard felt a bad feeling after seeing the smile from Leafa.

“Do-not ...” Richard knew the next answer.

“Of course with my knowledge, something impossible can be done.”

“Actually what are you hiding from us? I don't want to because your actions put Dom in danger,” exclaimed Richard.

“Trust me, I have no intention of hiding anything. It's just, I'm waiting for the right time to say it,” replied Lyfa who seemed to still be trying to lie.

Here he is ….

“So you said if which core is likened to the heart? Then isn't it impossible to forcefully insert one other heart into the body of a living being?” ask Dom.

“Yes you're a really smart kid. But ... because that's why I invited you to come back here.”

“What do you mean?” ask Dom who still doesn't understand.

“Dom, I know at your current age, you want to play more and spend your time with your loved ones. But ... This opportunity you may only get once in your lifetime.”

“What's really that worth? Then what is it?”

“Of course I'm talking about a core mana.”

“Hah?! Didn't you just say?”

“True, generally it will not be we can get, but ... different from the current. Of course this secret is only known by the Dryad only.”

Dom and Richard just listened without a word because they tried to listen to the secret.

“Maybe you already know this forest is divided into 3 parts, do you know the real reason?” ask Lyfa.

Dom and Richard just shook their heads, indicating they didn't know anything.

“Hundreds of last year, this forest is not separated into 3 parts but intact in one region. The existence of Terraria is a boon for the residents of this place because so many food sources that can be obtained for free.”

“Only, all that beauty vanished when she came.”

“Who is he?” Richard interrupted spontaneously.

Leafa did not respond to Richard's words and continued to continue his story.

“Maybe this incident is a dark memory for us residents of this forest. I had even just first seen magic overflowing even beyond the power of an empire. Perhaps, that person was also one of the strongest summon element possessors in this world.

“Only with a snap of his finger, he could ravage this place and turn the Terraria Forest into a creepy place. Moreover, with his element, he summoned countless powerful monsters to take over this place.

“We Dryad people can only resign because they are unable to defeat that person. Even some of us disappeared after receiving an attack from the second element of his. That is darkness.”

“Darkness?” ask Dom.

Then he's just like me?

“Then from that I can directly know your element because the aura emitted is so similar to it.”

“Don't you take revenge on the owner of the dark element?” exclaim Richard.

“Normally it is like that. But ... I don't feel that Dom will use that power for evil. For that, I try to trust him."

Dom just smiled to see that Lyfa was so sure of his words.

“So what is the name of the person?”

The question was not answered by Lyfah. He continued his explanation.

“The more in this area, the monsters encountered will be more dangerous. Only, of all the monsters he released, there were some monsters that had a core mana.”

“Shouldn't monsters have the core of life?” ask Dom.

“The essence of life applies only to monsters of a rare level. One of them was the Mystical Spirit Beast and the like. Whereas in this case, all types of monsters can become very strong if implanted a mana core on his body.”

“Hey hey fairy lady, why is your explanation so absurd. It makes me even more clueless,” Richard said.

“Then, can you understand about my previous explanation Dom?” ask Lyfa.

“Then it is enough.”

Because in the previous world Dom often read and can remember well, making him not too concerned about the explanation of the Lyfa. In contrast to Richard who tried to understand while thinking hard.

Although it was not responded to by Leafa in the end.

Cih you fucking fairy!

“So you said a monster has a core where? Is that possible?!”

“They are called mutational monsters. The more mana nuclei were absorbed, the more the power of those monsters would be in different levels. Do you want to know why I explained all this to you?”

“Emm for me to find the monster?” ask Dom.

“Well that's also true, but that's not what I meant by my question. Mana essence can only be obtained by forcibly taking it from the human body. Which means, the person who attacked this forest has killed a lot of humans.”

“Yang is right?!”

What the fuck is that guy?! Does he have no conscience at all?!

“Maybe you don't know this. But if man dies, then the core of mana in his body also disappears-”

“WAIT! You mean him?!” Dom interrupts Lyfa's speech.

“When the defeated party is in a state of fainting or dying. He took the mana core forcibly, then moved it into the body of a monster.

“Monster which has a core where it can talk like a human. In addition, they will be obedient to the person who raised him.”

“Ja-in you mean I should-” say Dom stopped because it was cut by Lyfa.

“I know you can't do something like that. Just grab the mana core inside the mutated monster, that way, you don't have to hurt anyone.”

“Ah I'm relieved to hear it-”

“Only ... not all the mana cores in the monster match your body,” Lyfa again interrupted Dom's speech.

“In this case I don't understand,” Dom said.

“Wait waiting. Why am I so unsure of what you say?” asked Richard who was getting lost from the conversation.

“Which point comes from monsters is slightly different if it is obtained directly in humans. His energy level is already decreasing. But, although different, the chances of getting a core where remain.”

“If inferred from your explanation. That means, the chances of me getting a core that matches my body is very small. Isn't that right?” ask Dom.

“You could say it is true, but not either. It all depends on your efforts. Moreover, I don't know which core fits your body. It's possible that you can instantly obtain it when defeating monsters with weak mana cores hahaha.”

“What is so right?” ask Dom with the face of the story.

“Hey do you just believe with a nonsensical explanation?” exclaim Richard.

“Emm ...” Dom thought in his daydream.

Also true. But even though many are unreasonable, somehow all the explanations can be trusted.

“Well I myself am not too sure because I have never seen anyone directly move a mana core into a monster. So anything can happen."

"Ah please don't make me hesitate" Dom said.

“Actually a kingdom once made a quest to eradicate monsters in the Terraria Forest. After the destruction incident. But because there were no survivors, eventually this quest was eliminated and many people refer to it as Lost Quest.”

“Lost Quest?”

“A quest equivalent to level A. I think it suits you very well right now. Of course I didn't force you to continue the quest. But, at least I've given my best to increase your strength.”

A-level quest huh? Can I do it?

“So, where are all those monsters located?”

“Surely you already know that. Inner Terarria Forest.”
