Misty World: Start with SSS skill -
Chapter 279 Harpie...
Selvih tilted her head and said, "700 years ago, an ancient kingdom was destroyed by an ambush of mist monsters."
Anno now spoke up: "Mom, you mean… the ancient kingdom of Untre?"
Selvih nodded, and she stuck a small piece of cake in her mouth with the fork. She then chewed on it and closed her eyes to enjoy its taste.
Hikaru glanced at Selvih and the stack of plates beside her, she had already eaten four cakes. If Selvih was a normal girl, Hikaru feared that she would suffer from obesity or other diseases related to the body from taking in too much sugar.
But fortunately, this was a fantasy world, and no matter how much sweets she ate, it would not affect her health or fitness.
After a while, Selvih continued: "The Ancient Kingdom of Untre was attacked by a swarm of mist monsters. At first, those monsters couldn't even touch the city walls of the Untre Kingdom until a more terrifying monster appeared."
"A Skeleton Dragon."
"Skeleton Dragon?" Hikaru frowned, seemingly realising another secret.
"That's right. The Skeleton Dragon could control an army of fog monsters, and at that time the power of the Skeleton Dragon was extremely terrible."
"The King of Untre at that time had reached the King rank, but he still couldn't defeat the Skeleton Dragon. After that, the entire Untre kingdom was annihilated, leaving no survivors."
"The King?" Hikaru frowned and asked, "Didn't the others help him?"
Selvih shook her head: "The King of Untre is the last King rank of this world, if he failed to defeat the dragon, then who can defeat the Skeleton Dragon?"
Hikaru's eyes widened, he suddenly realised something, and he continued: "After level 100, why was he still in this world? Why did Silutop say that as long as you reach level 100, you can leave this world and go to a bigger world?"
Selvih shook her head and said: "Silutop wanted to break free from the shackles of level 99."
"Level 99's shackles?"
"That's right." Selvih explained: "Hikaru, I know you possess a wonderful energy, which is something many people aspire to have."
"From level 99 and below, we can only use mana. And the kind of energy we're using compared to the energy that someone at King rank uses is like dirt compared to minerals."
"The new energy source is resistant to fog, although not by much, but at least they would not really be affected by it."
"Silutop's point is that when he reaches the King rank, he will no longer have to worry about the problem of fog, this world for him is more than just a small Dark-Elf kingdom."
Hikaru nodded, signalling that he understood what Selvih had said. He felt that everything was not easy, even someone who reached the King level was easily killed by a mist monster.
No… Hikaru suspected that the skeleton dragon in Selvih's account was the skeleton dragon following Sherwin.
But the Skeleton Dragon that followed Sherwin wasn't too strong, and it could even be easily defeated by 5 other level 30 players.
As for the king of Untre, who was at King level, could it be that the Skeleton Dragon following Sherwin could defeat a King-level person but not 5 level 30 players?
He felt that his speculation was wrong, perhaps the Skeleton Dragon that attacked the Untre Kingdom and the Skeleton Dragon that followed Sherwin were two different monsters.
Selvih continued: "Kiki, although as far as I know there is no King rank in this world, that is only within the limits of my understanding."
"I think the Saric Sanctuary still has people who have reached King level, it's just that they don't leak this information to the public."
Hikaru nodded, he knew Selvih was reminding him that even though he was strong, there were people stronger than him in this world.
Meanwhile, Hikaru thought that Sherwin should also be kept in mind because he was also a very dangerous person.
Anno now spoke up: "For the time being, I'm afraid we also need an army to manage order within the territory. After all, the Lizard group is too weak, they are easily defeated by other players."
Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, in fact, he still had an army of blood-elves, however, he didn't want to reveal this army. But right now he did not possess any other army strong enough to maintain order within the territory.
Suddenly, Anno spoke up: "Kiki, it seems Shala has just received another race from Race Gate, she said she wanted you to come and see because..."
"Because?" Hikaru frowned, "Did something happen?"
Anno shook her head: "It's not really a big deal. It's just that Shala's strength is a bit low, so they don't want to listen to her."
Hearing that, Hikaru nodded. Anyway, Although the races that appear from the Race Gate are only loyal to him, if they could live in peace with the other races was still a mystery.
It is normal for the stronger race to despise the weak race. Shala is just a merchant who is good at communicating; after all, she doesn't possess any special powers.
"What race is that? Why are they so arrogant?" Tsuraguki asked, annoyed.
Anno replied, "harpies."
"Harpies? Why do those two-winged birds always claim to be the servants of the gods?" Tsuraguki smiled scornfully.
Hearing that, Hikaru also remembered a few legends about this race. In the old days, people often confused harpies with angels; however, harpies were very different from angels, especially their two wings.
The members of the harpy race had a human-like appearance, but their wings were on their hands. while an angel's wings were on their back.
"A servant of the gods?" Selvih asked, confused.
Anno and Saraya also looked at Tsuraguki. In fact, the Harpy race is rarely seen in this world, and the people in this world hardly see them.
After all, the world was covered in fog, so even if one were to walk on the ground, it would be difficult for them to distinguish their direction. So if people were to fly in the sky, it would be even more difficult to navigate their surroundings.
Therefore, the Harpy race rarely appears. It was rumored that, after the mist appeared, the Harpy race had become extinct.
Tsuraguki nodded and said: "Yes, I fought in outer space before, I also met many opponents of the Harpy race. They think of themselves as angels, servants of the gods, and that's why they're so arrogant."
Hikaru nodded and explained, "Perhaps it's because their appearance might be similar to an angel's, and that's why a lot of people also mistake them for an angel. Maybe because of that, the members of the Harpy tribe themselves think they are angels."
Hearing Hikaru's words, everyone felt that they were extremely reasonable.
Tsuraguki continued: "As far as I know, Harpies are an SR race, they can be said to be on an equal footing with the Elves. However, in this foggy world, their fighting power is greatly reduced compared to the Elves."
Hikaru frowned upon hearing that. That's right, this world was completely covered in fog, so their superiority in flying was also completely gone.
"Wait!" Hikaru secretly asked Rika: "Rika, if I evolve the harpies, will they be able to see through the fog?"
[There is a possibility, however, the odds are very low.]
"What if I combine them with void energy?"
[It seems… this has a very high success rate.]
Hikaru said with a smile to everyone, "Even though the Harpy tribe doesn't have the upper hand in the fog, in our territory, they will be very useful."
"This place is not covered by fog. Besides, when they're flying high, they can easily detect anomalies and show up the fastest."
"Because of that, I think they can take care of the security of the territory. However…"
Saying this, Hikaru showed a cold smile: "Even though they are loyal to me, that doesn't mean they will coexist peacefully with other races."
"They're too arrogant, that's why… Tsuraguki, teach them how to be humble."
Tsuraguki smiled upon hearing that, she stood up and bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, master."
After saying that, Tsuraguki turned around and left. Selvih, Anno, and Saraya were all looking at him now with eyes as bright as the stars in the sky.
Hikaru felt three pairs of eyes looking at him and felt a little… annoyed: "You… what are you doing?"
Selvih laughed and said, "Hahahaha… Kiki, you were so cool just now, like a real king."
Hikaru clutched his forehead: "So I'm not a king right now?"
Anno blushed and said, "No, we mean… just now, you were so cool, like a cold and mysterious king."
Saraya happily said: "That's right! Very cool!"
Hikaru sighed, now he realised why girls on Earth usually like bad guys, because they were cool? What kind of weird thinking is this?
At this moment, Selvih suddenly approached Hikaru, she placed a hand on his thigh, caressed him, and whispered in his ear: "Kiki, let's have a little fun."
Hikaru glanced at Anno and Saraya, who were looking at him with expectant eyes.
He sighed and said, "Okay."
…
In an underground room below ground. This place has a rather large area, up to 1,000 square metres, surrounded by an extremely hard stone.
At first, Darnag thought that just building this place to be about 200 square metres would be enough, but Hikaru didn't think so. Hikaru knew that sometimes the word "race" would mean the appearance of a lot of people.
Because of that, Hikaru increased the area of the room containing the Race Gate from 200 square metres to 1,000 square metres.
In the middle of the room is a space gate, which is called the Race Gate. Around it was a group of about 20 harpies, and of course they were all female.
Leading this group of harpies is a brown-haired woman with two bird-like feet and wing-like arms like in the myths Hikaru knew.
She has a pretty face, but her eyes looked like she was looking down on others.
That Happia laughed scornfully: "Hahahaha… how dare an ordinary human guide me? Do you know who I am? I am the Queen of Harpies, the servant of the gods."
"Low lives, when you meet me, you have to kneel down, understand?"
"Call out, your master, he will surely cry when he sees us. Hahahaha…"
Shala forced a smile, it was her first time seeing such an arrogant person.
In the past, Shala had travelled around with her father, so she also knew about the Harpy race. Of course, Shala also knew that people often mistake the Happia race for angels.
However, Shala was different, she knew that the Harpy race was different from the Angel race and that they had nothing to do with each other.
Shala smiled and said: "Sorry, master is busy, and he can't meet everyone. I will be in charge of the accommodation arrangements and rules in this territory for everyone."
"Huh!" The Queen of Harpies snorted contemptuously: "You? Arrange accommodation for us? Lowly human, who do you think you are? We will be staying in Master's castle."
