AN ANCIENT SCROLL

"Rubbish!" ,Russell immediately said, "If what you said is true, then how come such a battle hidden from the world? How come it was never told to us by our ancestors? Our ancestors always told us about the most important and earth shaking battles in order to raise our morales and make us mentally strong. They would have told us about this battle to motivate us. And you are saying such things happened about which the information was never passed down to us? And what's more, this battle was telecasted by heaven through heaven telecast! Then this battle should have been one of the most shocking battle in the history of the world. After all, we were talking about a mortal slaying a god! How could we believe what you said?"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They had the similar doubts within their minds. According to Arjun, such an outstanding battle has happened. And yet they don't know anything about this?

Such an outstanding battle, which they don't know with such a vast and ancient family background. And yet, a mere barbarian knew this? How could they believe this?

But then that thought of a possible solution. Their ancestors. Their ancestor was from the higher realm. So it is very possible that they might have some ancient records it in their possession which describes all these events.

And what's more, from the looks of both Russell and the leader of the Silver Wolf Sect, what Arjun said might be true. They had the "How did you know?" expression when Arjun mentioned about that Black Stick.

But still, they waited for an answer directly from Arjun. They wanted to know what exactly Arjun would say to verify his claim.

Arjun shook his head. He smiled and said, "That Black Stick through which you were controlling the shadows are the beat examples. Those shadows were the "Power of Desire" mastered by Crawley. It was through those shadows, he was able to kill that God!"

Arjun continued, "During his last moments, Crawley did not want his power to stop there. He used his last bit of power of desire and stored all his shadows within a Stick! It was actually an ordinary wooden stick. But with the flow of time, because it contained all the shadows stored by Crawley within it, it turned unordinary from ordinary wooden stick. Without letting those gods know about this stick, Crawley threw it very far to the point which not even he knows about it."

Arjun said, "With the flow of time, because of the power of Desire, the stick slowly came to the location where it's true owner was resting in peace. Then either you or your ancestors might have gone and found that stick. That's how it ended with you."

Arjun continued, "As for why none of the ancestors of the major clans like yours know about this, there is a reason for it as well. After the gods ganged up and killed Crowley, they buried his corpse in a boneyard and named it after his name. By showing him as a symbol, they gave a strong warning to the entire world. They warned the world by not allowing any of them to talk about this even to their offspring. If anyone reveal this to their later generations, their entire clan will be wiped out. And they even forbidden people from mastering the mental energy deeply. It has to be mastered to a certain degree. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed along with their entire bloodline."

Arjun continued, "Most of the people took this warning very seriously. They were very careful people. And in order not to call the calamity upon their organisations, they did not speak anything about it to the later generations."

Arjun continued, "But there were some foolish, arrogant and high ambitious people who didn't give a damn about the warning from the gods. They didn't take it seriously. They went against the orders by the gods. And then they paid for their mistakes."

Arjun continued, "The gods took this issue very seriously. After all, a mortal killing a God is like tightly slapping their pride. They took this issue very seriously. So they personally gone and mask their entire clan in a most ruthless manner. They were publicly executed in order to set a strong warning for any other organisations with similar motives."

Arjun continued, "And this was more than enough for them. The other people or organisation with similar motives immediately stopped after watching how serious the gods are with this issue. They didn't dare to go against the wish of the God. And with the flow of time, this history was forgotten by the world. And this is the reason why you people did not know about any of this."

Everything was revealed. Arjun made himself clear. But whatever he said, it instilled a deep scar in the hearts of people who listened to the entire story. They once again remained silent. Such a shocking event happened. And they don't even know anything about it.

"Then how does one train their Mental Energy to the point of awakening the power of Desire?" ,Russell asked in embarrassment. He doesn't even why and what's for he is going to be embarrassed.

"How would I know?" ,Arjun shook his head and said, "Even I learned from some ancient scroll which I got from an hunt accidentally. It was one of the ancient clans who went against the orders of the God. And in return they were destroyed by the gods. According to the ancient scrolls, they predicted their destruction and left behind these ancient records for the future generations so that the records of the Power of Desire won't remain history forever. They were hoping that a lucky person like me find it and continue the legend. As for how to train in it, no one knew it. In fact, except for Crawley, it was well possible that no one knew how to awaken the Power of Desire!"

"Then how did you counter my shadows and killed them?" ,Russell asked in anger.

"That is a secret." ,Arjun denied it.

"Did you receive the method in that ancient scroll?" ,Russell asked.

"Sort of." ,Arjun replied.

Arjun's answer led everyone speechless. They don't understand what is that Arjun is trying to hide from them. But whatever it is, they guessed that, it is a very important information.

Arjun smiled. Nobody knew how he killed those shadows that was originated from the power of desire. But Arjun is someone who opened the mind Palace. When it comes to mental energy related things, no one can surpass him.

He used the Cardinal Sin of Gluttony's devour ability. Gluttony did a simple task. He simply devoured all the shadows.
