Chapter 169: Last words 2

169- Last words 2

So, seeing her niece's changes she was filled with mixed feelings.

She did not understand how to react to this.

As a member of the monster race with high cultivation, what has she not seen?

She knows the cruelty of this world.

She knows how cunning and ruthless humans are.

Let's not talk about humans, she has seen many cruel things in the monster race too.

As a member of the Lamia tribe, which is an affiliated tribe to one of the 5 Royal families, the Urag family. Her tribe enjoys many privileges for having such a position and close relations with the Royal family.

But other Subsidiary and Servant tribe's treatment by the Royal family can be described in 2 two words harsh and cruel for each respectively.

The Subsidiary and Servant tribes are severely exploited by the Royal family.

The Subsidiary tribes are required to pay 50% of their total gains every year and the Servant tribes are required to pay 70% of their total gains.

And if the payment is not satisfactory, the Royal family or its other underlings will completely massacre that tribe and another tribe replaces its position.

And even their Lamia tribe sometimes cannot escape difficult situations.

For example, some of her elder generations from their tribe are guarding the Urag Royal family, but their situation is also similar to that of servants.

Imagine a Royalty realm powerhouse serving as a servant? How presumptuous!!!

Yes, sometimes even the Affiliated tribes cannot escape from harsh conditions proposed by the Royal family.

But that is the harsh truth that she has already seen.

As for other horrors and cruel things, done to the affiliated, subsidiary, and servant tribe, she can only suppress those things in her deepest part of the memory and try not to remember them.

===========

Quick Recap:

Dark Forest power distribution:

Royal Family > Affiliated tribes > Subsidiary tribes > Servant tribes > Other small monster tribes

5 Royal Families main rulers of the Area

Affiliated Tribes are those monster tribes that have blood relations or belong to the same category of monster family.

Subsidiary Tribes are those who hold a certain power and work for the Royal family.

Servant Tibes are those who serve the above families and belong to the second-lowest hierarchy in the dark forest.

While below them are those monsters that are fewer in numbers, and/or are devoid of any intelligence.

.

So, now looking at her niece's changes, she has mixed feelings.

So, she didnt understand whether she should persuade Armelia not to change her character or should blame herself for being so weak that she was not able to protect her niece from the worlds cruelty.

But she knows that who should be blamed for this.

Orochi.

It may be that she feels powerless as she cannot go against the whole world, so she puts the whole blame on Orochi for bringing these changes to her niece.

And even though she knows that there is nothing wrong with Orochis words and actions, and she also knows that he could not be blamed. But when a living being is filled with feelings such as sadness, anger, fear, lust, etc., then they would look for an object for venting their grievances.

And here the object that would bear all the blame for changing Armelias character is none other than Orochi.

But she cannot harm Orochi, because if she does, then her niece could get angry at her.

Helpless with all these, she could only coldly stare at Orochi and curse him inwardly. But she still decided not to stop Armelia, as like Orochi said Jashan could plot against them or inform about the death of his companions to his sect management and bring disaster for them.

Regarding Junes cold stares, Orochi acted as if he is not aware of her stares.

When Orochi and Armelia were just a few inches away from Jashan, who was wailing on the ground, the couple was able to see his dreadful condition.

His arms had already turned dark purple, his face was flushed red and numerous veins has appeared on his face and neck which wriggled due to Jashans screams. They looked horrifying. Especially for Armelia who has rarely seen such things.

Looking at Jashans condition, a strong fear started filling her body and mind.

When she thought of the situation when the rock was heading towards her and how she failed to stop it, and if Orochi did not rescue her on time, then her situation would be similar to Jashan... just thinking about this her body trembled with fear and Orochi who was close to her, lightly patter her back.

Although she has stepped into the Transformation realm and advanced into the Monster stage, she is fully aware that her strength comes under the category of weakest people in the Monster or Human stage. And if any two peak demi-human / demi-monster stage attack her, then she can barely defeat them and if it is increased to 3, then she will surely get defeated.

A normal martial artist who has stepped into the Human stage can easily defeat 7-8 Demi-Human stage martial artists. And some can even defeat a dozen.

Hence, her strength can be said to be the weakest in the Monster stage.

This is due to the lack of combat experience and her body being weak.

But luckily, due to Orochi, her cultivation is increasing rapidly, and her weak body is also becoming stronger. Now, she just needs to gain combat experience.

[Note: Monster stage and Human stage are the same levels, I just want to inform you that Monster stage belongs to the Monster race and Human stage belongs to the Human race.]

But she is surprised by Orochis strength.

She knows that Orochi is much stronger than an average Human stage martial artist due to his special physique, but only after she faced the threat of rock, did she properly understand Orochis strength.

Her husband was able to solve both the rocks that even an average Monster stage like her could not defend against. She was filled with deep admiration and love for her husband.

So, when she looked at Orochi, her eyes were filled with love and pride.
