Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 – Why Everyone is Weaker on the Heindal Continent
Far away from the center, at the end of the capital city existed a huge mansion not fading behind the royal palace in any way, belonging to the Dukes— Silvester Family.

For several decades the Silvester house produced warriors who ruled over the middle part of the Heindal continent, their strength was counted among the top ones in the whole Continent until the Selvius Kingdom Emerged overnight.

The moment Queen Alisia declared the formation of a kingdom on the land that belonged to the Silvester family, a small war happened which could be considered the shortest war in history.

200 elites of the Silvester family died at the hands of ten men accompanying the woman who referred to herself as a queen of the new kingdom, Finally, the battle result for Silvesters was, accepting the dominance of Selvius’s kingdom.

But not many people are aware of this fact, in general people’s view, Silvester’s family’s daughter is married to the present king who has two wives, and just that.

Inside one of the rooms present in the mansion, the moonlight accentuated the figure of a Girl seated on a chair, looking towards another girl standing in a maid outfit.

Thud

Olivia swiftly placed her teacup on the table causing a small sound to revert.

“Are you kidding me, Alia?!” Olivia’s widened eyes were evidence of the frustration she was feeling right now after hearing Alia’s other excuse.

“No her Highness, I still can’t feel getting any broke through” Alia bowed, her visible dark circles evident of genuinity held inside her words, it has already been six years since, Olivia became her sponsor.

Standing with her downward gaze fixed on the floor, feeling overwhelmed due to all the hard work she put in for several years but still, her level was stuck at the same level she was six years ago.

And, somehow, it felt like her energy was draining much faster than it could reach a point to make her breakthrough.

“How much time more?” Olivia leaned before Clenching her hair while feeling irritated, everything was on the bet, each artifact she had bartered to get Mana Mines, resources to boost Alia, and lastly, the deal she made with Bella in exchange for that mine.

“I don’t know” Alia’s lips pressed between her teeth was evidence of helplessness drenching her, each passing moment becoming even more irritating to her.

She can’t understand why things are happening this way, even in her past life, it was not that hard to reach more strength than this one.

‘How did Ryuk train her?’ Olivia slowly took a peek at the girl standing in a maid’s outfit, while not meeting her gaze, Olivia’s mind couldn’t understand the method Ryuk had used to make this girl stronger.

Unknown to her, Alia was too herself in despair, not understanding what was happening to her, She knew her previous life, all the training methods Ryuk had taught her, and even more resources than she previously had but…

“Do you have any plans?” Olivia supporting her chin with a folded hand looked towards Alia, whose mind was in chaos thinking about her reasons.

‘Think Alia, what is missing in your training’ Her pupils moved rapidly trying to figure out the missing piece that solely made her reach her peak strength,’ Damnit Think, Come on

‘!?’

Her mind after connecting all the dots only found one thing missing in her life right now, a thing that was there every time she trained herself, guiding her until the end.

‘Ryuk’

.

“Inky, you seem to become even more wild which doesn’t suit you”

Ryuk gripping the tentacle, looked towards the black creature in front of him, different from his past life memories, it seemed more berserk with dark black eyes, mouth filled with dripping saliva.

“Kwak!”

SWISH

CRACK

Suddenly thousands of dark black needles shot out of the creature’s body but on collision with Ryuk’s skin, it broke into several pieces.

‘System, What is this thing’s Level’ Ryuk narrowed his gaze feeling the strength and hardness of needles much weaker than his expectations.

[ Host, it is at the 〖PRIME〗 Level of Phase 2 ]

‘Heh, this wasn’t what I expected from you’ Ryuk felt amused at how he overestimated Diana’s approach, his expectations, or more like his plan to declare Adanyl Crown Princess seemed to not of much effect on Diana.

Ryuk had divided the heroines into categories and had separate plans to deal with each one of them, among which, he dealt with everyone separately.

First Maria, Whose faith in her Goddess pushed her to the limit where mental or physical torture would seem like a test of her faith.

Second Alia, From his previous life, learned that a secretary knows more secrets about a person than one’s wife, signifying the trust he had in his maid until she stabbed him.

Each one of them had different motives and actions added with a unique personality.

He had decided to take advantage of each one of them, like using Maria for healing, and Alia being his personal Artifact supplier, everything was going according to his plans.

He knew about Alia being using Olivia for her benefit to become stronger, not that he cared, since, her method was indirectly supplying Selvius Kingdom with Artifacts, since, Olivia needed to purchase mines.

This was also why, He had Claimed many mines in the name of Bella, by promising her spar for each time she sold one mine.

To sum up all of the things, He was Getting Artifact, a training partner and free healer, just at the cost of patience.

Of course, he still did not make them suffer more, only letting Maria provide him gallons of Holy water every month which she formed with prayer, took all rights of artifacts, and sold them at ten times the price to a neighboring kingdom to strengthen his own country’s army.

He did Nothing.

SWOOSH

Suddenly a sound attracted his attention, the creature’s skin started to turn fair, and slowly its height started to decrease and become the same as Ryuk’s, with his face transforming to exactly what he had seen previously.

A twin image of Ryuk with an expressionless face gazed back at him, but this time, unlike previously when Ryuk had just seen the lifeless body of this creature wearing his facade lying, it was standing.

“R-y–u-k”

Again another Voice reached his ears, slowly turning towards the direction where the crimson lake was present, and several twin images of him started to emerge.

Gazing back at them, Ryuk’s smile faded away hearing the voice which was not his but instead belonged to a very familiar figure—Diana.

“Don’t say that name again with that voice”

.

.

.

” R–y-u-k, lo-ve”

CRACK

THUD

The last body fell on the ground, Ryuk’s clothes were even inside the lake of Blood but seemed unstained due to his aura field, and all the lying figures of Copylex’s were proof of his anger.

Normally, he planned to let Diana have these things, and knowing about her shrewdness, he expected her to send them even stronger, and with that, he could use these things to train.

Since he was far stronger than previously and knew about the properties of Copylex which depended on their energy core, he was prompted to let Diana upgrade these things.

Even in a previous life, he had arranged for one of these creatures to copy him and train for a while before getting under Wang’s teaching, but the moment these things uttered his name which was in Diana’s voice.

His mind snapped.

Of course, he was still the same enough to think clearly and judge his loss in killing these things, but the issue persisted, more than helping in training, those voices will just piss him off.

His gaze turned towards the huge gates before kicking it, not having the patience to open it calmly.

BANG!

The door shot open, strength causing the whole thing to destroy, and threw it at some distance before falling on the ground.

[ Alert!!!! Please have Body Reconstruction First ]

Ryuk ignored the useless notification, exactly even now he could easily use his peak strength without going through Body Reconstruction by utilizing his Ether in the form of an aura.

Normally, Ryuk used Amethyst mana, which was now replaced with ether, for the strength-related tasks, and Amber one for Speed, which was now replaced by Ether too— making his body strong enough to bear his complete strength.

This was also the reason, Ryuk believed in himself more than the System.

‘What is that thing, System’ Ryuk’s Amber eyes reflected an enormous shining slab placed in the middle of the huge hall, the smokey aura falling from the ground seemed to bathe the whole thing.

It looked like a waterfall hitting the surface but in truth, Ryuk’s sharp senses can see that the thing was sucking that energy into it, meaning the waterfall was not falling but was getting forcefully pulled downward.

[ Host, It is a Heaven-Grade Artifact, The Voidforge Conduit ]

‘Tell me Everything without leaving anything’, Ryuk slowly moved towards the thing since somehow he felt attraction towards it, but not enough to make him act rashly in front of something unknown.

[ Host, A Heaven-Grade Artifact is unique of its kind, there are only five such artifacts present in this world, Voidforge Conduit is used to suck away the energy from surrounding, Right now, this artifact is covering the whole Heindal Continent into a dome, while sucking away all the energy from it’s surrounding, indirectly weakening others foundation]

‘!?’

‘What is the effect of that thing on everyone in Heindal’, Ryuk after hearing System’s information felt confused, since, if the thing in front of him was sucking away energy then why didn’t he feel like anything, nor his mother and even in previous life heroines too reached such high levels, Why?.

[ Host, This Artifact seems to have been placed here for a very long time, its major function is to drain energy but except that, the intensity it drains one’s energy depends on their strength ]

After hearing all things, It became clear to Ryuk that this thing was getting mana from everyone present on Heindal Continent, making them drained much faster and even weakening their foundation to such an extent that caused them to have weaker levels.

‘hmm’ While thinking, he understood the fact why the outside world seemed more active in this place, Ryuk deduced several things from the System’s vague information.

Outside Beings don’t enter this Continent due to the presence of this artifact which will start devouring their strength at a rapid rate, indirectly causing their foundation to destroy.

Normally, if someone’s energy reaches the bottom of their present power level, they will feel weak but when the same minimal energy gets forcefully drained causing them to fall to the previous level, then, it will damage their foundation.

From his previous life experience, He at least knew that people would never want to lose their power at the cost of anything, but his confusion remained.

‘But, How Mother is that strong, is it due to her bloodline’ His doubt arose from the fact that Alisia was far stronger than anyone he had seen until now, her level was too, even though equal to his, seemed degraded.

Meaning, that Alisia had reached a much stronger level than what she is present, his thought pointed towards Devereaux’s bloodline which gives enormous growth to its user being the reason.

[ No Host, your mother is continuously taking away energy from a Source and draining it, maintaining a balance in her power without losing it ]

‘It seems feasible’ Even though he was curious to know about the power source that provides such an enormous amount of energy to his mother to still stay at her peak until all these years but urgency for another question caused him to inquire.

‘ System, But why this thing doesn’t have any effect on me’ Ryuk felt confused since he didn’t have any external energy source, but his growth seemed to still the same as previous life, even much faster.

[…..]

But he didn’t hear any reply from the system causing him to call it again.

‘System? ‘
