CHAPTER 68

"Oh ! That's interesting ! But couldn't he just tell everyone about the cultivation and all and the monster residing. Why did he wage war and kept this a secret ? And also why did he need this big piece of land ?", Arata asked Alphonse.

"There have been countless incidents in the past which remind us of not to share the power of cultivation with just anyone. Now, there are guns and strong weapons which can stop a weak cultivator easily, but that was not the case before. Cultivators immediately gained strength and did terrible things on Earth.", Alphonse said.

"So it is the standard Greed, Lust, etc elements of humans and that is why Cultivation was only kept to some people. And these people only continued down the secrets of cultivations.", Rachel said.

"Yes. In our region, it was the 20 families, now there are only 7 but there are vast regions out there who have much stronger cultivators and of various types.", Alphonse said.

It was decided that Milana had to be searched for. And this beast for now had been kept safe, as the Alvarez Empire was not under attack anymore. But this did not go as planned.

"Miss, we have reached. All preparations are done.", said the girl beside a majestic lady. They were in a long hallway. This majestic lady was Milana.

"So what if my Husband is dead ! I will avenge him, but first, the mission comes as a priority. I will be freed after this", Milana thought in her mind. She looked like a self-righteous hypocrite. She just wanted to serve her master along with her master but that did not happen. Her master wanted to obtain this beast, and she had to follow this order.

"Let's get started.", Milana said coldly. She cut a part of her wrist and let the blood fall on the perfect circle pattern in the middle of the hallway. The pattern glowed green brilliantly and the whole building started shaking. She was also shaking with excitement. She just had to bring this beast to her master, as it had some connection with him.

Tremors were felt outside in the city also. This hall was actually an underground hall, which only a few people knew about. She had eavesdropped on the conversation between Alphonse and Sierg in the council room as she was an assassination and summoner Cultivator. Her master had said it would be very soon that they reached the rank of scroll masters as their cultivation was brimming. So, she was quite excited !

"What the fuck is happening ?", Arata asked. Like earthquakes were not heard of in the Alvarez Empire. While Arata was looking about, he found the source of the tremor. The buildings around the epicentre were falling and people were running out of their homes.

"Oh My God !", Anna and Alphonse exclaimed together. These tremors were coming from that place. They both rushed towards that place half expecting the worst and Arata, Rachel and Solork followed them.

"What is happening ?", Arata asked them but he already had an idea. It was probably that the beast had awakened. And he had a feeling that ilana was behind it.

Then, Arata saw a two meter tall beast erupting from that place. Calling it a beast would be inappropriate. It was a fucking Monster ! Arata had never seen such a huge living creature in his whole life that could move. Of course, it looked very disgusting. It had fangs on both sides, its eyes were very pointy and the nose was very long. It was greyish in colour. It had fur on its body and it was howling.

Surprisingly, no one else could see this monster except Arata and Rachel. He asked the others whether they could see anything there, but they denied it. They just felt tremors and buildings falling apart.

Suddenly, Arata heard a shot. It was a sniper shot. Arata could hear it because of his extraordinary senses, but he sensed it was pointed in this area.
