Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1072: Ying Zhen’s True Identity
Chapter 1072: Ying Zhen’s True Identity
“Hmm…” Selena glanced to the side, finding Alavenya and Nathan returning to the city holding hands. “It looks like they have settled their own matter.”
“Looks like it.” Sera nodded while waving her hand.
“…” Noelle didn’t say anything, but her eyes were wavering. Flora, on the other hand, whispered softly, “He’s going to live for who knows how long in one month, you know?”
After knowing what would happen, Noelle couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency. Even though Nathan had told her to take her time, she probably didn’t have enough time anymore. If she let this chance go, she might end up regretting it.
Nathan waved back at Sera while Alavenya looked away, too embarrassed to even look at them. Although she had prepared for this, it was much more embarrassing than she originally thought.
“You’re back, Selena? How is your teacher?”
“Teacher has taken it better than I expected. He will be burying his junior brother somewhere and didn’t say anything regarding their master’s ashes other than showing a slight remorse.”
“I see.” Nathan nodded. “How about Ying Zhen? Is he out already?”
“Yes.” Ying Zhen had recovered after Raphael healed him. However, due to that memory, Ying Zhen ended up having an identity crisis. But it looked like he had absorbed all that memory and knew what he should do next.
“Really? Can you summon him? There’s something I’m curious about.”
“Well, he…” Selena rubbed her cheek while looking away awkwardly.
…
Vivian’s workshop.
“Now, now. Tell me more about it. What do you mean by awakening your memory? How can a familiar evolve like this? This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing.
“No, wait. I have heard that there’s this so-called enlightenment. Is this what it is? But how does it work? Tell me more about it.” Charlotte was drooling, demanding an explanation from Ying Zhen.
She simply couldn’t contain her curiosity after knowing that Ying Zhen had transformed after having that memory.
Ying Zhen, on the other hand, looked away, wondering if he should just escape already. But it looked like Charlotte would chain him if that was necessary to find out that information.
Fortunately, Nathan’s voice suddenly echoed from the side. “Looks like you can’t contain your curiosity, Charlotte.”
“Huh?” Charlotte squinted her eyes as if telling Nathan not to stop her. She had to know this information.
Nathan waved his hand, not planning to stop her. He turned to Ying Zhen. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m good.” Ying Zhen gracefully nodded.
“You are probably confused right now. From the looks of it, you have remembered the life you had before becoming a jiangshi, right? And it looks like you are related to Mount Hua or something. The plum blossom technique is exclusive to Mount Hua, no?”
“!!!” Ying Zhen didn’t expect Nathan to know this much.
“Well, well, well… You look like you know about it as well.” Charlotte’s eyes became like those of a beast, ready to pounce on Nathan.
Nathan chuckled. “If you want to know more about it, you should stay quiet and let others have the opportunity to speak. If you don’t want to know, then you can keep asking me about it.”
Charlotte opened her mouth before shutting it again. She fixed her posture as if she were trying to listen attentively.
“…” Ying Zhen was a bit speechless at how easy it was for Nathan to control her fixation on knowledge. Hence, he replied, “Yes. Allow me to reintroduce myself. My previous name was Baek Jin-Ho. I am one of the Nine Supremes, Sword Supreme, as well as the Grand Elder of the Mount Hua Sect.
“After my death, it looks like I’ve been revived as a jiangshi and given the name Ying Zhen. I don’t have much memory regarding the owner of my body as a jiangshi. But I remember that person was wearing an official uniform with ’Qing’ on its arm.
“Qing Dynasty?” Nathan nodded in understanding. “No wonder. Mae has researched all kinds of history, especially regarding Japanese mythology and Chinese mythology.
“As expected, when you are there, you have the Heavenly Demon Cult and even the Blood Cult?”
“Yes.” Ying Zhen closed his eyes. “When I was known as the sword dragon, I had fought against the Heavenly Demon Cult as the leader of the younger generation for the Martial Alliance.
“However, the fight itself lasted for so long, and it was also the time for the Blood Cult to appear.
“At that time, the Blood Cult massacred almost half of the clans, my sect… Zhongnan Sect, Namgoong Clan, and so on. In the end, we defeated the Blood Cult by joining hands with our mortal enemy, the Heavenly Demon Cult.
“As a result, the Heavenly Demon Cult changed its name to the Heavenly Demon Clan.”
Nathan thought for a moment before asking, “How about your status? Are you Ying Zhen or Baek Jin-Ho?”
“It looks like the name is Ying Zhen, but ’Baek Jin-Ho’ also appears next to it. My quality has also gone up all the way to Perfect (Middle).”
Nathan raised one finger. “If that’s the case, you must have been quite strong in the past. Considering you are one of the supremes, does that mean you are a transcendent?”
“Yes. There were a total of 20 transcendents when I was at my peak, which was also the reason for such chaos.
“For now, I’m fine with both names because they’re both me. But I’m thinking about incorporating both of my martial arts. As Baek Jin-Ho, I was a master of the sword, but as Ying Zhen, I had been using my legs. As for my purpose, I’m not entirely sure… Maybe I have come to this world because I wish to get stronger to find out the truth.
“Now that I’ve found that reason, I’m going to serve her for the rest of her life as a repayment.”
Nathan nodded in understanding. He had a good grasp of what was happening to Ying Zhen. The problem was that Charlotte seemed to want more information from the looks of her eyes alone.
It looked like Ying Zhen would be devoured if he didn’t do anything.
’I guess I have to help him here. Time to spew some bullshit again.’
