Reborn into A Slash Game Chapter 72 - There Were Only Dragons and Sylphs

Chapter 72 - There Were Only Dragons and Sylphs

During dinner, Suo Fei had eaten until he was rather full. Thus when he returned to his room, he lay on the bed for quite a while but was still unable to sleep. The little cub never had this worry as it could eat with relish and sleep with satisfaction right after. Hence, it was already sleeping soundly in its room.

Suo Fei walked back and forth several times inside the room but was still uncomfortable so Samael closed the book he was reading and suggested, “Let’s go out and take a walk.”

Suo Fei was already thinking of this. As such, he gladly went out with Samael.

He had only been in the Dragon Valley for two days. He had not had the chance to take a walk and had merely looked at it from afar.

The houses in the Dragon Valley were mostly treehouses. They were extremely tall and had no stairs. In fact, Suo Fei found it incomprehensible. The Dragons were enormous. Although the treehouses were extremely huge, it was impossible for a dragon to sleep inside it. This was truly strange.

Moreover, in Yalance’s setting, the Dragons were the only race that found it difficult turning into their human form. Their power was so great that it was hard to compress all of their power into a tiny human body. As such, they would have to spend a lot of their power to control their strength.

Based on this principle, it wasn’t impossible for them to turn into their human form. It was just too troublesome and difficult to accomplish.

For this reason, the dragons who could turn into their human form were the most distinguished in their race. Not only did they have formidable strength, they were also very adept at controlling their power. The power of the dragons who were in their human form was compressed so they were able to launch more powerful attacks.

Nael couldn’t turn himself into his human form but Hull could. It was just that he got into an exceptionally intense fight when he was trapped in the bottomless abyss, so he could no longer control his power and he turned into his dragon form. He was unable to recover after thousands of years so his determination waned and he was unable to break free.

Suo Fei didn’t know of this so he was puzzled about the treehouses.

As they walked across the Dragon Valley, Suo Fei felt a sense of familiarity with Earth. In Suo Fei’s knowledge, Yalance was a completely different world. The territories of all races had a different style and there was not one similarity between them which was quite bizarre. There was no doubt that they were living on a large continent. It wasn’t strange that each territory was different, but there were too many differences. It was truly somewhat strange.

Suo Fei didn’t think much of it before but he couldn’t help but think about it now.

He recalled the conversation he had with Grantlyn and Linde in the Demon Realm. Suo Fei thought about it and decided to tell Samael what Grantlyn had said.

“Each race is deteriorating. A lot had completely lost their abilities. Not only that, but the Celestials lost their ability to produce, the Elves’ lifespan had been reduced. In addition, Demons’ rationality, the Humans’ faith and the Beastkins’ intelligence had all been taken away. Grantlyn claimed that ‘Yalance’ was devouring them and that all races would eventually die.”

Suo Fei related Grantlyn and Linde’s remarks from what he could remember.

Samael listened quietly. Afterwards he said, “Not all races.”

Suo Fei looked at Samael in confusion and Samael said, “They didn’t mention the Dragons, the Sylphs and the Dwarves.”

Suo Fei was stunned. His logical thinking skills weren’t great, but he had a very good memory. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to learn the game’s numerous plotlines by heart. Thus, he was certain that he could remember everything that Grantlyn and Linde had told him without leaving out anything by mistake.

As such, it must be true that they had not mentioned these three races.

It wasn’t strange that they didn’t mention the Dragons. After all, the Dragons had nearly gone extinct. In comparison, the Sylphs shunned other races. They didn’t have much contact with other races. The same could be said for the Dwarves. It was in their nature to reject other races. Although they wouldn’t go so far as to be completely isolated from other races, they would never take the initiative to get in touch with the other races.

But what does this have to do with this matter?

“I saw a memory in Salvag’s treasury,” Samael quietly said.

Suo Fei looked at Samael and remembered the memory that he saw. At the end of that memory, he was pierced straight through the chest by the Asura Blade. Even now, Suo Fei still felt some fear when he recalled it. He hurriedly threw this terrible feeling aside and asked Samael, “What memory? I remember you telling me that it wasn’t real. It’s not your real memory?”

Samael nodded and said, “I certainly haven’t experienced them.”

“It was an extremely beautiful memory in the beginning…” Samael’s lips pursed into a self-deriding smile. He didn’t go into detail but Suo Fei’s heart thumped. He knew Samael’s past. From beginning to the end, it couldn’t be related to the word ‘beautiful’.

Samael continued, “A married couple who loved each other had a son and the couple was extremely happy. They treated this son as their treasure.” He paused for a while before continuing, “ After that, they had a second child, it was a girl. The third child was a boy. The home that had three children, was somewhat… too lively, but very…”

As he said this, Samael paused and frowned slightly. He seemed unable to describe the scene.

Suo Fei looked at him and felt a pain that couldn’t be described in his heart. He held Samael’s hand and supplied, “Happy?”

Samael was startled. He gripped Suo Fei’s hand and nodded, “Yes, it’s very… happy.”

“After that, the children grew up. The pace of the memory started speeding up. I wasn’t able to see it clearly anymore. But, there were some places that I noticed. The scenery in that memory was the Dragon Valley and the first child greatly resembled me. I could feel that it was me, but I definitely hadn’t experienced those memories.”

As he reached this point, he paused and then said, “I haven’t experienced that kind of indescribable familiarity.”

Suo Fei’s brows furrowed. He didn’t know the truth of the matter but he was certain that these memories shouldn’t belong to Samael who had never seen his parents and who had been born in the Demon Realm. He should have never set foot in the Dragon Valley.

When he said this, Samael didn’t wait for Suo Fei’s response but merely continued, “Initially, I threw these false memories to the back of my mind, but it resurfaced when I heard what you said.”

He looked at Suo Fei and slowly said, “The first thing that left a distinct impression in my mind was that in that world, there were only Dragons and Sylphs.”
