The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Chapter 155:Side Story: Report on Seya in the Ariansyl World, by Investigator Gabryel

Over the past years, Seya's influence in the Ariansyl world has exponentially increased. Instead of only influencing the people in the little village where he was born, he started to influence the Human Kingdom of Rohan.

He created some equipment to help increase the production and the harvest of food and taught to others new methods and ways for improvement of the land.

On his new lands, granted to him because he was able to stop a global war with no casualties what so ever, the people are evolving and improving at an astonishing speed. They are making some of Seya's creations and selling throughout the entire Ariansyl World.

Seya started a social revolution by changing the mentalities of the Humans that lived in the lands that used to be called the Empire. His actions are still shacking those Humans and in a few years, there will be some innovations coming from them, for sure.

He even managed to help with the integration of the LizardKind, by developing a way for them to communicate with the other Races and by creating a new Magic for people to travel, using an instantaneous and Magical passage. With those two innovations, the LizardKind Race is interacting more with the other Races while every people in the Ariansyl world is benefiting and seeing their lives improved by every Seya's innovations.

He was even able to make a Magical Wall that slows down and in the case of the small ones, stops the Demonoids, before they can invade the LizardKind territories, giving plenty of time for the LizardKind Border Guards to kill them.

My Report could finish here, but then I found a few things that were too weird.

One:

On my first encounter with the Goddess Aria, I had the feeling that she cared more about Seya than any other being in her world. Maybe I was wrong or maybe it was because she had high expectations from him, but after watching in hiding some of their interactions or talking with some people that live inside his Magical Mountain, I'm almost sure that the Goddess likes him in a romantic way. She has every right to have a more intimate relationship with anyone that she feels like it, but by choosing him, she could lose her impartialness and be persuaded into helping him instead of watching from afar, as she should be doing.

As an example, there is Gaya, the Magical Mountain. Seya and his friends turned a solid rock mountain into a flying Magical Crystal. When Seya asked the Goddess to grant life to that mountain, she agreed to it. That was the first time, according to my investigation, that she created a Magical Being upon request and it may prove without a doubt that Seya has a strong influence on the actions of Goddess Aria.

Two:

Seya has punished his previous Examiner, the Examiner Araban, that was following him since birth in the Ariansyl world. Seya found out that Araban was, in fact, an old pervert, preferring to watch his mother and his aunt, when they were naked or sleeping, incurring in some weird actions as touching them in private places during the night or licking them, instead of just making Reports of Seya's actions. He was punished by being sent by Seya to the Demonoids Island, where his Magic was absorbed and he was eaten. Despite being a proper punishment, it had an unexpected side effect that I discovered later on.

Three:

The Emperor of the Human Empire got news that a Great Sage could be living in the Kingdom of Rohan because of their recorded History and by some rumors of powerful young students that entered this year in the Magic and Knight School of the Kingdom of Rohan. That was the main reason why the Empire suddenly decided to attack the Elfian Kingdom, in a clear attempt to reach the Kingdom of Rohan to kill or kidnap that suspected Great Sage before he could become too powerful. The other reason is sinister than I could ever imagine. It also explains why slowly and so unexpectedly, some Humans of the Empire change their ways and are prone to greed, evil and weird reactions, like if they were being influenced by someone or something.

Four:

Five:

Seya condemns to the death a group of traitors that orchestrated an assassination attempted of the Royal Family of the Human Kingdom of Rohan, during Seya's birthday party. He sent them to the Demonoids Island where they were eaten while the people at the party watched, as a warning to what would happen to anyone that tried the same thing in the future. Again, despite being a proper punishment, it had also an unexpected side effect that I also discovered later on.

Six:

The Mermaid Ariel, a member of a Magical Race created by the Goddess Aria to balance the Ariansyl world with Magic, some years ago ordered the killing of the young Princess Heiji, the heir to the throne of the Human Kingdom of Rohan because of a misunderstanding. Following the orders of that child Princess, Seya killed fifteen Mermaids by beheading them and throwing their decapitated heads at Ariel's feet. That trauma of seeing her friends being killed in front of her and Seya accusing her of causing their death, along with her fragile mind that over the years was becoming worst, turned her into a resentful being that completely forgot her natural kindness and blind loyalty to the Goddess. It even made her forget the Mermaid Vow of always obey and help every Great Sage that appeared. She immediately recognized Seya as the Great Sage of this Era, but her weak mind and resentfulness, made her search for allies to help her kill him. In time, she found the Rohan traitors and helped with their plan. The Goddess turned her into a baby and ordered her mother, Queen Athena to raise her again so that she had a second chance when her plan failed during Seya's birthday.

Upon gathering all the information that I could and thinking about these events that separately didn't alarm the Goddess, but together, show without a doubt that something strange is happening in the Demonoids Island, I went there to investigate. The following is a description of those events.



I used my Magic to transport me and I reappeared in a deep valley, surrounded by huge peaks.

Suddenly, I heard a screech on my right side. Before I turn around, a dark tentacle restrained me. I knew it immediately, a Human that was on Seya's birthday party described it to me. It was a Demonoid tentacle and he was going to absorb my Magic and eat me. This ugly thing doesn't know who he was facing, for sure. I pulled my right arm up and I grabbed one dark and slimy tentacle. When I was about to squash it, he suddenly let me go. I looked at the dark and drooling thing and he did the strangest thing. He points with a tentacle to me and then, to an open cave at my right side. He nods that drooling head and points at the cave again. He was inviting me to go in there. For all the information that I got, Demonoids are beings without a conscience, intelligence, or purpose. What moves them are the basic instincts to feed, grow bigger and breed. Only those three things. But that one was acting differently and that made me curious, so, I went to that cave. In the entrance, there was a small Demonoid just standing there, as if he was a guard, waiting for me. He too uses a tentacle to point at me and at the long and descending tunnel that goes deep underground. He starts to crawl along the dark tunnel by using his small body tentacles. Since he was also dark, as soon as he turns around and I stop seeing those reddish eyes, it's like if he turned invisible. So, I used Fire Magic in my hand to see where I was going.

After almost an hour of following that slow and crawling ugly drooling thing, we reached a huge cave. The ceiling was so high that I tried to increase my Fire Magic to see the top. When I was looking up, I felt something weird inside my head, it was like a hitch. I sensed something lurking in the shadows, so, I turned my Fire in that direction and there it was, a huge and greyish Demonoid, looking at me with those strange red eyes. Then I started to hear a voice inside my head.

- …||… You strange. You no normal being. You Gods minion. …||…

I started to think that it was better to talk with that thing, it may have the answers that I seek. I also needed to gain more time to find a way to escape, that situation was too dangerous for my taste.

- Yes, but you are not a normal Demonoid. You seem intelligent and even your color is different from the others.

- …||… Me one of the first. Me one father and one mother of Demonoid. …||…

- One? Do you mean that there are more like you?

- …||… Yes. Me one of ten father and mother of Demonoid. Me Demonoid Thinker. Others have positions different…||…

- That means that you are the brain. Can you control the other Demonoids? Because they are wild and not so intelligent and I can't talk to them like I'm doing with you.

- …||… Yes. Others like minions. Extensions of me. Obeys and follows. …||…

- I see… So you guys work as a hive and you and the other nine father and mother are like their brain.

- …||… No. Me brain. Other nine position different. …||…

- Very strange. What are the positions of the others?

- …||… One is Dark Magic Controller. Others secret…||…

- Dark Magic Controller? You mean, one is a Demonoid that can use Dark Magic? I thought all of you could use that Attribute.

- …||… Not that. Dark Magic Controller. Controls weak mind beings. In all world…||…

- Wait… you are saying that one of you can control other beings with weak minds?

- …||… Not control. Guide. Change mind with time. Slowly. Careful. Not found…||…

- That's a surprise. That means that…

- …||… Yes. Me saw you memories. Dark Magic Controller reason of events. You notice. …||…

- But since when can you do that? I thought you were contained under all these barriers!

- …||… Father Araban appeared. Demonoid eat. Demonoid absorb memories. Demonoid absorb many Magic. Demonoid evolve. Demonoid learn. …||…

- You evolved by eating Examiner Araban? What about all the Mermaids and the LizardKind that were eaten over these past Millennia?

- …||… Food. No Demonoid change. Change after Father Araban. Learn Great Sage History. Identify Great Sage. Start defense plan. Demonoid connect to Magic Flow. Demonoid connect weak mind beings. Control Emperor. Control Empire Humans. Control Mermaid. Control Rohan traitors. Control Human Conclave traitors. …||…

- And… after you ate those traitors from the Kingdom of Rohan? Did you evolve again?

- …||… No. Learn. Make plans. Prepare for Great Sage. Test control RabbitKind. RabbitKind immune. Try control Great Sage. Too strong, control slow. No time before battle to full control…||…

- I see… and what you all want to do from now on?

- …||… Me learn. Demonoid living Race. Live right. Gods no interfere. Demonoid evolve. Demonoids free. Demonoids eat all. Demonoids only world beings. …||…

- If you eat every living being, your food will end.

- …||… Eat weak Demonoids. Eat all World Magic. Evolve after. Eat Goddess. Evolve. Future unknown. Deliver message. Gods no interfere. …||…

- Yes, I will deliver your message to the Gods. But you know, if you manage to eat the Goddess and evolve and after that, you threaten other Worlds, the Gods will stop you.

- …||… No. Learn Father Araban. Gods not allowed. Gods kind. Gods forgive. Even Demonoid eat all worlds. Gods forgive. Weak spot of Gods. …||…

- I see your point, but I think you are wrong because the Gods are kind and forgiven, but they also punish when the situation demands it.

- …||… Demonoid no fault. Born to eat. Evolve. Demonoid think. Demonoid dream. Demonoid deserves live. …||…

- I think I understand. This is a tricky situation, alright. Ok, I need to go to complete my Report and deliver your message.

- …||… Not allowed. Deliver message. Demonoid eat. Learn. …||…

- Yeah, right, like if I would stay quiet, deliver your message, and wait here to be eaten!

I quickly jumped to the side to escape one of his sudden tentacles. I threw a Fireball to the eyes of that ugly thing, Wind Slash on every tentacle because I know they have hard skin, so I needed to aim precisely at the interjections of the tentacles and the body. The first tentacle falls, the others soon follow that one. Immediately after the last tentacle, I threw some Fire Spears at those eyes to pierce that ugly and disgusting head. It seems dead but I thought it was better to completely vaporize that thing before another Demonoid eats the remains and becomes like him. So, more Fire Magic to the dead body and the tentacles. More heat to burn him completely. The temperature inside that cave was getting unbearable. Fortunately, I am way more resilient than those ugly things. Some gushes of wind to clear the path around me and to confirm that not even a small particle was left. I heard noise around me, I was surrounded. So, a quick and swift getaway to the surface.

I reappeared near the Demonoid that I encountered when I arrived but this time, he seems lost without his guide. I thought it was better to kill that thing before leaving and that guard too. I didn't want to leave any memories about me that those things could share among them.



With what I discovered in the Demonoids Island, I got the proof that Seya's actions while unknown to him, turned a once violent and aggressive being into an intelligent, and dangerous one. They even have some that evolved and became specialized in some departments. If one is able to control all the Demonoids and another one is able to influence the mind of another being by connecting to the Flow of the World and like that, cause all the strange events that I found, I wonder what the other evolved Demonoid are able to do.

I recommend the Council of the Gods to follow the future events in the Ariansyl world very closely, to prevent the dangerous plan that the Demonoid Thinker revealed to me.
