Chapter 1956: Nurturing Flora’s Absolute Elements

"This world has a certain system that oppresses the weak and fears the strong. When the weak become the strong, the strong will fear the retaliation of the weak. They will hunt the new strong ones and use them to pave the way for their own stability.

"The Great Shakula was the symbol of retaliation. He didn’t fear the strong and wanted to change the system by becoming stronger.

"Unfortunately, those strong ones didn’t like him and tried to hunt him down, not only to kill him but also to absorb his power.

"The Great Shakula killed them and became the most wanted criminal, but there was no one who could capture him as he disappeared without a trace."

"..." Nathan turned grim. Shakula was Lord Frost’s real name.

The one who explained it to him was actually a Class B pyromancer. He didn’t care much about the situation and ranking system on this planet after knowing about the world’s background.

The world feared Shakula, meaning that they didn’t intend to change. If he did something big, he would be hunted down.

That was why Nathan intended to settle everything peacefully.

The bald pyromancer explained, "Never ever mention Shakula. Anyone can report you to the authorities, including me."

"Will do." Nathan nodded.

The bald pyromancer was scared at first when Nathan barged into his room, using his power to threaten him. However, after knowing that Nathan actually wanted to know about Shakula, the bald man had a change of heart.

He looked like a kid who was talking about his idol.

At the same time, it was something that shouldn’t be said to other people. After some threats, the bald man ended up telling him everything. He stopped fearing Nathan, even though he could die at any moment.

Nathan asked, "In that case, do you know where his hometown is?"

"His hometown... Ah, his hometown..." The bald man looked down before shaking his head. "After knowing about the Great Shakula, they destroyed everything about him. His home, his hometown, anyone living around there... everything."

Nathan suddenly remembered when Shakula asked him to bury his body in an open space. He might already know that the situation would be like this.

So, Shakula didn’t want Nathan to get into trouble and just dump his body somewhere. At the very least, this would be considered his returning home.

Nathan sighed. After thinking about it, Nathan took out the corpse.

"!!!" The pyromancer was startled and took a step back, but he suddenly noticed something. "These clothes... I can only see the bones, but..."

Nathan said, "I encountered him on my trip. As per his request, I am returning him to his home. However, burying him in an open space seems like a bad idea, so..."

The pyromancer understood what Nathan was talking about. "So, you want me to tell you where he should be buried..."

"Yes." Nathan nodded.

"There is a place. While his hometown has been destroyed, there are some volunteers who have buried every remains they could find. If I tell you this, can I... watch the Great Shakula’s last moment? I also want to confirm whether it’s the Great Shakula..."

Nathan took out the note this time.

As soon as he saw it, the pyromancer couldn’t help but close his eyes as tears flowed down his face.

"Hmm?" Nathan narrowed his eyes.

"I... was a survivor of that purge. I might not be related to him in any way, but I had seen his gallant figure a lot when he stayed there."

Nathan said, "If you are going to tell me about this zone called Disaster Storm, I will bring you there and let you handle the burial."

"Really?" The pyromancer looked surprised. It took him a moment to recall the information. "Disaster Storm. It is one of the most dangerous zones in the world. It is a desert that has continuous activity.

"Because of that activity, many have lost their lives, either lost their way, or simply been unable to endure the intense environment.

"According to the survivors, this zone will pull you in and trap you inside."

"Hmm..." Nathan narrowed his eyes. "It doesn’t matter."

"If you aren’t scared of the danger, then you might want to visit that place. Rumors say that anyone who can conquer this zone will receive the blessing of earth. That person will possess an absolute earth element.

"However, even those people on the third layer aren’t going there because that place can fool even gods."

Nathan nodded in understanding. "I don’t mind going there. Now that I think about it, can you tell me about this world’s power?"

"Of course. In this world, everyone will be bestowed an element by the world. Those who have stronger elements from the start are called blessed children. Those who are weak can get stronger by continuously receiving blessings from this world.

"Just like the desert, there are many zones formed because of the abundance of elements in this world. Conquering those places will allow you to gain blessings that will strengthen your power. Everyone wants to get absolute elements, but not many can do it.

"I know you are a visitor from another world. If you are interested in the Disaster Storm, you may want to visit the Hell Zone too."

"Hell Zone?" Nathan frowned.

"Yes. The Hell Zone is a zone where fire is concentrated. It burns everything. Only those who are chosen by the fire will be able to enter. A lot of people have entered there, but not many can get out alive. Those who get out have their fire elements amplified greatly."

"Hmm..." Nathan glanced at Flora. This world might be suitable for Flora to nurture her absolute elements. This way, Flora might come out with multiple absolute elements. At that time, her firepower would be equal to Selena’s.

Still, Nathan had one question before he could ask about other zones that might provide her with something to nurture her new absolute elements.

Nathan raised one finger. "Does this world have someone who can wield the space element?"

"None. All of them are dead."

"Huh?"
