BXBX NOVEL Chapter 549 - The Survivors
Although the beasts were still roaming around, the rifts stopped emerging and the world was somehow not about to be destroyed.
Space itself was tranquil, rather peaceful too.
Even the wind felt rather refreshing, and the skies had become clear, the sun was shining brightly atop the skies…
What had exactly happened?
After a few days, Eustace, and the other Heroes he had at his side, alongside strong Adventurers that had survived with them up to this point began to slowly fend off the beasts around their camp, until very few roamed around… things had become more peaceful, it was as if somehow, someone had dealt with all the problems.
They didn\'t even felt the rotting presence of Bestellen anymore… Although the entire world was in ruins, with barely any place that wasn\'t a flat wasteland left, things were now back to "normal"…
Although after everything they went through, it couldn\'t possibly be called normal.
But well… it was better than before, that\'s for sure.
The time in Mirror Kritias compared to the outside world was faster, so around a week had gone by since they were deposited inside of the Veronica and Ervas Divine Realm without even knowing or being aware of it.
Eustace walked outside the camp, as he cleansed his forehead from the sweat, he was not really fighting monsters now, the gifted powers he had were also great for farming work.
Now that the world seemed to have somehow calmed down, although he was very curious about what had happened and how, he still needed to feed his family and all of the people, so he and many other people within the camp began to farm crops, slowly nourishing the dead soil of the wasteland where they were and planting seeds they had saved from long ago.
"Phuff… Well, that wasn\'t that hard, I am getting the hang of it… Maybe I might even get a Farmer Job…" thought Eustace, as his wife came to see him alongside a few other people, bringing some snacks and refreshment to the people working in the crops.
Eustace aquamarine eyes quickly shined brightly as he saw his son and his wife, so he left things behind and sat down over a seat with her and Jonatan, his little child, who he had with Cecilia.
"There isn\'t any bread left, but we got monster meat for months! And if we dry and salt it, it is not that bad as a quick snack!" said Cecilia.
"Yeah but it makes me thirsty…" sighed Eustace.
"Papa, why are you shirtless?" asked Jonatan.
"Because since things calmed down that the heat is strong… So it is better to be shirtless if I don\'t want to fill with sweat the shirts, son," said Eustace, petting the cute kid.
"Come on, drink some cold tea at the very least," said Cecilia.
"Well, I have so much stamina I could last a whole month without eating nor drinking… But okay," sighed Eustace, who has been eating very little to save more food for the people. As a superhuman amongst superhumans that even surpassed S-Rank Adventurers, his body was filled with mana and stamina, which he could use to replace calories needed for his body metabolism.
Meanwhile, above the skies, two phantom clones have been watching over the scene for around a week inside of this place.
"They seem to be handling well. I feel like we should let them survive on their own instead of aiding them…" said Ervas.
"Yeah but we still need to tell them the truth, right?" sighed Veronica.
"You\'re aware that Eustace was the one that killed us, right?" asked Ervas.
"I am more than aware of that… Yet, he got a family now, and we know he was being brainwashed to do it. And that he was very sorry too… We have families as well, don\'t we?" asked Veronica.
"We do… And you\'re right. I guess I was expecting you to have more grudges than me, seeing that our personalities diverge greatly," said Ervas.
"…Well, I do. I would like to give him a punch, or two, or a dozen, but I think he would die with a third one, so we better not do that," said Veronica.
"Hm, I guess the way he can pay back is by putting everything he can to help these people survive without us helping," said Ervas.
"I guess it is a fitting challenge to leave him. He\'ll have to improve a lot," said Veronica.
"Still, let\'s go met him already, so we can tell him part of the truth, but not all," said Ervas.
"Yeah, let\'s just do it," said Veronica.
The split souls phantom clones flew down below as they suddenly switched places with the real bodies after they reached Yurei…
Flash!
The two flew into the ground and slowly began to walk into the camp.
People watching over in towers for any monster that could show up quickly noticed them, calling them "survivors".
"Survivors! There are people there!"
Eustace quickly stopped drinking cold tea and eating salted dry meat as he jumped out of his seat, it has been a month since he had seen a survivor from another area that wasn\'t the camp, this could mean that there could be even more people outside waiting to be helped!
However, as he approached these two survivors, he felt that something was odd…
"H-Hello…" he said.
"Hi, do you recognize us?" asked Ervas.
"Eh? No…?" asked Eustace.
"I knew he wouldn\'t… Well, we were Anastacia," said Veronica.
"…Ah?"
Ervas and Veronica glanced at each other as they sighed. It was going to be a long and arduous explanation for Eustace to understand what the heck was going on…
In the end, the two ended arranging a meeting between them and the many other Heroes and even some of the strong surviving humans…
After they heard everything they did, many couldn\'t believe it, but the split souls had to merely show them their divine powers to make each of their words believable at the end…
