BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110: Ch 110: Evil (1)
After funding the last two pieces of murals, it did not take long for them to solve the puzzle. There were a total of 108 pieces of this mural and the complete picture it was depicting was that of a little girl surrounded by various platforms just like this floor and on each one of the platforms, a monster was standing.
After studying the picture, Anna muttered that this picture looked very similar to a story she had read when she was just a child. It was a fairytale for most of the common people but as a part of the royal family she knew that the story was actually real.
That story was about a little girl who had an inherent special ability that allowed her to bond with any monsters or beasts and to take them. That ability was a powerful one and the villagers of the village where she was born started to worship her as some sort of divine deity.
As time passed, more and more people started to follow the girl and the number of beasts she was controlling also increased. Very soon something like a god and her followers started to call her "Divine Maiden".
Very soon she became a powerful enough force that the rulers surrounding her started to consider her as a threat. So they created a large army to get rid of her and her followers. Just like that a large scale battle broke out.
After this, the story suddenly became a bit vague and uncertain. The study Anna had read was written from the perspective of the rulers so this little girl called Sanakya was depicted as an evil being in that story. The moral of the story was that no one should pray to the gods and should worship their rulers instead. But Anna was smart enough to understand that it was probably not completely true.
In the book it was mentioned that the joint army of the lord was able to defeat the Divine Maiden and her followers but it was never mentioned in the book about what actually happened to the Divine Maiden. Was she dead or was she able to run away ? Anna was not sure.
Now it looked like that this girl was somehow taken away by this dungeon and she had also become a part of it just like the other gods. As they were listening to Anna\'s story, the puzzle was completely solved and the whole area started to shake as soon as that happened.
Soon all the platforms except the one where the conquerors were standing started to gather together and surrounded a bright white ball of light. Soon the white ball of light turned into the form of a little girl and the platforms were surrounding her.
Then the girl started to shine and from her body multiple balls of light flew out and landed in each of the platforms. Then those balls of light turned into the form for various monsters and stood on the platforms. Currently the scene looked the same as the scene depicted in the completed mural. Then a status screen appeared before them.
[Name: Sanakya
Race: Divine Maiden of Control
Rank: God
Description: Due to the completion of her mural, the sleeping Divine Maiden of Control wakes up and is angry. She had 108 powerful monsters as her protectors and only by defeating all of them at once it was possible to defeat her. Defeat the mighty god to get amazing rewards and kill the mighty god to get even better rewards.]
Seeing the status screen in front of them, Rein became sure once again that Anna\'s knowledge about this god was correct. Her name was the proof of that. As for its power level, according to Rein\'s observation it was as strong as an early yellow grade powerhouse. This god was extremely stronger than the Titan God but just slightly stronger than the Plasma God.
As the Divine Maiden had quite a lot of monsters to protect her, she was a very good target for Stella to study the ancient monsters who had become extinct in the current time. So Stella was definitely not going to defeat or kill the Divine Maiden so easily.
But as the monsters were not in their normal living form and instead were glowing with white light, just observing them was not enough. So Stella needed to somehow hold them down for her to analyse them properly.
So she started to cast one binding spell after another to do just that. There were a total of 108 monsters and all of them were at the peak of green grade in their power level. So it was not easy to bind so many monsters immediately. For that reason Stella needed to take some time to bind all of them.
After a few minutes finally all the monsters including Sanakya herself were trapped with Stella\'s binding spell. Then the curious elf started to analyse the monsters one by one. It was definitely going to take some time so Rein decided to analyse Sanakya with his Eye of Truth.
As soon as he used his Eye of Truth on her he noticed something different from what was the case with Darkerai, Sanakya\'s soul was not completely a part of this Dungeon. Almost 80 percent of her soul was but the last 20 percent was still fighting hard to resist the corrosion of the dungeon.
Seeing this Rein immediately tried to assist her soul to stop the corrosion. But as the majority of her soul was already influenced there was nothing Rein could do to save her. Sanakya was not like Anna who had a broken power that allowed her to even heal the wounds given to her soul.
If Rein tried to mess too much with her soul then there was a high possibility that her soul might get harmed badly. Just as Rein was about to stop his probing, he suddenly felt like the untainted part of Sanakya\'s soul was calling out to him.
So Rein started to interact with the untainted part more to understand what Sanakya was trying to say and after a bit of effort, he was able to create a soul bridge between the two.
As soon as Rein was done doing that he heard a sweet but feeble voice inside his mind. Sanakya was trying to tell him something.
