Kahn was utterly gobsmacked, his thoughts left in disbelief after studying that the sixth Hero of Area who was from Earth similar to him was none aside from the legendary Miyamoto Musashi.

For the second time in his new life, Kahn had met somebody who was from Earth similar to him. In whole, it was the third individual from Earth that he had come to know of after Bjorn Ragnarsson, the 4th Hero of Life, then Marcus Brutus, the Seventh Hero of Nature, and now, Miyamoto Musashi, the sixth Hero of Area.

Together with Kahn, the ninth Hero of Darkness, that is a complete of 4 people who had been summoned from Earth to Vantrea. Who knew if there have been extra prior to now or whether or not another person was additionally summoned from Earth within the present period similar to him.

And to prime it off, the outdated ancestor was a historic determine he had discovered and examine again within the day.

Earlier than him, sat Miyamoto Musashi, the very man who was hailed because the Best Samurai to ever dwell.

The person who fought in life and dying duels since he was 13, invented the Niten Ichi-ryū aka the twin samurai swordsmanship model which translated to Two Swords as One.

Not solely was this man the best Samurai, however he was additionally one of many nice philosophers of the seventeenth Century although he hailed from a lifetime of warfare and politics.

His glory and achievements in addition to knowledge had been so superior that even within the fashionable occasions when Elric was alive on earth, hundreds of thousands of individuals held this man in excessive regard.

“Do you maybe know who I’m… was, earlier than my dying?” requested the sixth Hero of Area.

Kahn made a 90-degree bow and informed him about every little thing he knew of the person and the way even the present period perceived the title, Miyamoto Musashi.

“I see. So I did depart behind a legacy.

And what occurred to our Land of the Solar?” requested the sixth Hero with a curious gaze.

“Properly, after the Edo Period ended…” spoke Kahn and continued all of the issues that he was conscious of associated to the wars, political adjustments, and improvement as a rustic.

Kahn didn’t hesitate to cover what Imperial Japan did to different nations within the title of territorial enlargement, their function within the World Wars, and the way now it was well-known for Animes, Mangas, Delicacies, Tradition, and… “I see. My homeland has all the time been a spot of warfare even earlier than I used to be born and even after I held lots of energy. The peace they’ve now… I hope it lasts for a very long time.

Thanks, for telling me.” spoke Musashi as he gently caressed his lengthy white beard.

Quickly, they began discussing their association.

Kahn requested curiously…

Many dwell far longer however even there, some will dwell shorter.” spoke the Samurai Saint.

“How? And why?” requested Kahn.

“As a result of many depend on their bloodlines to boost their power and have bodily benefits due to it in comparison with people.

However at a sure stage, the over-reliance on it causes their downfall.

The Boon turns into the Bane.” acknowledged the Previous Ancestor in a tone stuffed with knowledge and expertise.

Earlier than Kahn might ask one other query…

The outdated ancestor made a STOP gesture together with his palm and continued…

“There are many Seventh or Eighth stage saints on the planet who achieved their rank inside a few centuries however barely have 100 years to dwell after gaining that almighty energy.

Take Demihumans for instance, comparable to Tigerkins, Lionkins, Elves, and even Demonkins.” mentioned the sword saint with a stern countenance.

“After some extent, they stagnate at a sure rank and their life drive begins dwindling quickly, leaving them barely with a couple of many years to dwell simply because they used their bloodlines and species-related talents to turn out to be robust.

In a means, they used it as an irreplaceable gasoline to create a basis akin to a machine manufacturing unit. However at some point, that gasoline is completed after which that manufacturing unit turns into utterly ineffective, turning into nothing however an empty shell.

And shortly, it begins crumbling from inside.” defined the outdated ancestor who had spent extra time in Vantrea than Kahn.

“And what elements brought about your dying then? Since you did not even have that benefit or some bloodline to trigger any problems.

You even killed the Demon God as soon as with solely 4th Enlightment in Area Legislation.” queried Kahn with a peaceful demeanor.

“Identical to it occurred as soon as…”

The emperor replied in a stern however calm tone.

“I died due to Most cancers.”
