Chương 304: Chapter 287. Origin Of Calamity 1

" Who are all of you?" My confusion is only growing, the first question that came to my mind was the only one I could say without stumbling through my words." Like I said, we're the past holders of the Calamity Spear Demon Job."" But..."" Yes, "how are we here", right? Gods! I can't believe that our Job's abilities have been lost to time." With a mixture of sadness and anger, Lance tried his best to compose himself before speaking." Hey! How come you get to explain it, Lance!? You already had a moment to shine!

Let me do it!"" Seriously, Thea? Sure, knock yourself out. I was just a Warrior back during my day anyways, you can explain it to our Successor."" Yay! And don't talk down to yourself like that! You led the Tribe for a time too! That's why that crown is on your head, dummy!"" I miss when you'd call me "Mr. Lance" with respect..." Lance rubbed the back of his head as he walked over to the silent 10 observers behind him. While that was happening, a happy voice called out to me." Hello there now! I'm Thea!

I'm the 6th holder of the Calamity Spear Demon Job!" A wide smile spread on the face of the loud woman in front of me. With long, deeply dark-orange hair and light-green eyes, it was easy to see that she was a pretty girl. Her skin was pale, however? I wonder if she was really such a Warrior that she'd unlock a Calamity Job..." Why am I pale!? Right?"" Please can you stop doing that?"" Well, it's kind of hard to if you compliment me so much in your mind. Gosh! I'm blushing!"

She began to wiggle around strangely as she shifted from standing and bending her knees. Such a different impression compared to how Lance introduced himself she's a lot more..." I know! he's so stoic for no reason! Relax! Just sit back and let Big Sis Thea explain it all for you!" /SNAP! / With a snap of her fingers, Ms. Thea summoned a large white table with matching chairs, enough for all of us to sit at. It's almost like the meeting room for my Father's Counsel." Ah so my designs are still in use today?

That's great!" Again, my mind was peaked inside of. But at this point, I guess I shouldn't let it bother me? Ms. Thea took her seat at the table. She gestured with her hands for me to do the same and I did as she asked. Once I had sat down, the other 11 followed my lead and sat as well. I couldn't help but notice that my seat was by itself while they all sat next to each other on the other side of the table." Now then, just so you don't feel left out, the table sort of needs to be made like this.

The reason being is that you're the only one on the living side after all."" Okay, I can understand that. Now do you mind explaining why it is that I'm speaking to the dead? To be honest, it feels kind of unnatural... I'm not a Necromancer or anything after all."" Yes, this ability used to feel weird to me as well, but in time, I grew to think of it as normal.

To explain very briefly without touching on the Spellwork needed for it, All of the Calamity Jobs were created to be counters to the other Races' different Special Jobs. I believe Lance already said this." I nodded my head to her words and waited for her to continue on." The way we achieved this was through a combination of sacrifices to various Gods and different Blood Magic, Soul Magic and finally strong Demons that were willing to give their lives to our Race."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it." Wait, what do you mean "sacrifices"?"" Well, from the records that I found, it started with Monsters of various Ranks and that worked its way up to using POWs and even children we specifically bred to have desired traits for the sacrifices."" We... We sacrificed prisoners of war and even our own brothers and sisters?" Ms.

Thea's face shifted from her relaxed smile to a more serious face before she gave her answer to my disbelief of her words." Yes, Sarah. Our People did what we needed to do to ensure we survived as a Race. Do you even know what had happened during the Dark Ages? We were hunted like animals. Humans, Elves, even the Dragons sought us for various reasons. I'm not going to sit here and pretend none of it was deserved, but they all chose to end us as a whole rather than just the actual criminals."

"..."" You're confused, I don't blame you. I'm pretty sure the oral history of our people wasn't written down for many reasons, but with this ability of our Job, as well as what I could find during my time alive, I can explain a bit. I'm sure you're familiar with the fact that Our People for a time, were more bands of roaming tribes of warriors that attacked outsiders rather than try and make friends with our fellow Demons, that extended to the ones who left what would be the lands of Diablos.

They ended up hunting different Races and causing various issues. Once the roaming tribes had riled up enough of the populations, they all returned to their home for safety from being hunted down... And they brought their pursuers with them."" And then when those pursuers arrived, they started attacking any Demon instead of the actually guilty criminals, right?"" It's good to know you have a good head on your shoulders, yes, they did. Hate begets hate as they say.

The Races that were wronged decided it'd be better to rid Gaia of Our People as a whole. Of course, Our People didn't take this lying down, for the first time in our history, tribes that warred against each other for centuries banded together to make an Alliance to fight off what they saw as invaders. Eventually, this Alliance of tribes morphed into the formation of a new Country. That Country's name was of course, Diablos.

Named after the coalition of our Ancestors' Leaders who led the fight against the invaders."" Yes, they taught us that part of our history." Thea smiled at my words." Good, but you see, the story of the birth of our Job actually falls during the period between the Alliance forming and the formation of our Country. The fights against the multiple invaders were somewhat successful, until the Special Jobs came along. Armies of Paladins led by a Hero Party, High Elf Warriors backed by the finest High Elf Mages.

Dragon Lords spewing flames all across the land. Times were bleak, we were on our back foot as a Species. Some despaired, others got to work. A secret team was formed of our different tribes' best minds, different Masters of different Spellcrafts and different Masters of different Spiritual Faiths were brought together to make our own trump cards. Obviously, this is where the need for sacrifices came into play. From the Gods, to the more powerful versions of Blood and Soul Magic... It all required.....

Live specimens for various Spells."" Okay. And that's where the use of POWs and even our own were used?"" Not just that, but test subjects as well. The entire point was to create a Job as powerful as the other Races' Special Jobs. To do that, strong warriors were picked to be used as the test subjects. Many died as failures. Until successes came. Most importantly for us, Lance was the first Calamity Spear Demon.

The various Spells they used mutated and morphed his original Spearmen Job into the Calamity Spear Demon Job, or in other words, our Job." I nodded my head to her words. I didn't realize that this Job was something that Our People had made and was so soaked in blood. I thought that it was naturally occurring. And if not, another question pops into my mind." Yes, the answer to your question is that it's both Demon-made and naturally occurring. That's why the Spiritual Masters were needed.

The Jobs needed to be included in the pool of Jobs that our Race could unlock. However, we have found out through time, that those who're born from a bloodline that possesses someone with a Calamity Job have a higher likelihood of gaining a Calamity Job."" So, one of you are related to me?"" No, to be specific, you're from the Dreadnaught Family, correct?"" Yes and my Mother is from the Nova Family."" I see...

Well, I'm not sure about the Nova Duke Family, but as for the Dreadnaughts, they had a Calamity Sword Demon in their ranks long ago. That's how you've gained the ability to have a Calamity Job emerge from within you."" I see." This is becoming complicated so very fast." Well, that's basically the explanation of how this Job was created. Now as for its abilities. First and foremost, it gives the user of the Job enhanced physical and Magical abilities, as I'm sure you've figured out yourself.

The next is that rage that you can lose yourself in. Granted, it does boost your fighting capacity equal to the rage you feel. However, most feel that it's a detriment to their fighting, because it is. Thankfully, there is a Skill that you can gain from the Job. You just need to reach a certain requirement."" What is the requirement?" I grew curious at her words, if there was a simple way to do it, I just need to do it, so I can be more of an asset during battle."

Your rage needs to be eliminated by feeling a just as strong feeling of love or joy as the rage you feel in the moment."" So, I just need John then!" I smiled widely! If it's that simple, then I have nothing to worry about!
