Chapter 271: 270 unbearable past Chapter 271: 270 unbearable past “Boom!”
With the canyon suddenly shuddering, dust exploded into the air as if from an eruption.
Shane and the others didn’t know how many times they had raised their hands to block the incoming blast wave and dust, watching as the battle between the two girls in the arena became increasingly fierce, a hint of anxiety appearing on their faces.
“Vivian, what’s going on with Tielle…!?”
“Why has she become so terrifying!?”
Lu Muya and Merica could no longer contain their concern and both asked Vivian with anxious expressions.
Shane, in particular, kept his gaze locked on Vivian, hoping she could provide an answer.
Vivian’s expression was still so bitter.
She then began to explain.
“That’s Tielle’s Unique Skill.”
Vivian said this with a hoarse voice.
Lu Muya and Merica were astonished.
Not just Lu Muya and Merica, even Shane almost thought he had misheard.
“You said, Unique Skill?” Shane contested, “But that’s not right; didn’t Tielle say before that she didn’t have a Unique Skill?”
When she first came to the Royal Capital and met Luoqi, Tielle had said herself that compared to the princess, she had many disadvantages.
First, Tielle did not have Loreqi’s talent.
Second, Tielle also did not have a Unique Skill.
Shane had not forgotten these words, spoken by her personally.
“This isn’t exactly lying,” Vivian said gravely, “As you can see, Tielle’s Unique Skill isn’t something that can be used just casually.”
As she said this, Vivian turned her gaze to Tielle, who was relentlessly bombarding Ai Yi and continuously blasting the rocks, pointing to the horn on Tielle’s forehead.
“See that horn? That’s the manifestation of Tielle’s Unique Skill!”
“From the moment she was born, that horn has been growing on Tielle’s head.”
“Because of that horn, Tielle was once considered a monster, even seen as part of the Demon Clan or a Demon, until later on, the Elbein family confirmed that the horn was actually the manifestation of Tielle’s Unique Skill.”
“The horn appears because Tielle is activating her Unique Skill.”
This isn’t something inconceivable.
In this world, due to Unique Skills, there indeed exist beings who are different from others.
For example, some people are born with a poisonous hand; anyone touched by that hand would be poisoned, which is a physical characteristic brought about by that person’s Unique Skill.
Or say, someone’s Unique Skill is that it allows them to grow an extra pair of arms, having four hands that can launch twice as many attacks and handle things more deftly.
Unique Skills are the most bizarre abilities in this world; anything can happen, and any kind of effect is possible.
Tielle was no exception.
“When Tielle uses her Unique Skill, the horn will grow out and continuously absorb Magic Power from the surrounding atmosphere, transforming it into Power, used for enhancement,” Vivian explained.
“The more Magic Power the horn absorbs, the greater the Power Tielle gains; in theory, as long as the Magic Power doesn’t run out, Tielle’s Power will keep increasing without limit and without burdening her body.”
This is because Tielle absorbs Magic Power through her horn and transforms it into Power, which, after conversion through the horn, she can fully assimilate without causing issues in her body.
So, that Unique Skill was extremely terrifying. As long as there was enough Magic Power around, the user could keep becoming stronger without any limit, without pause.
“After learning about this, the Elbein Family once regarded Tielle as a future contender for the strongest of the Human Race alongside Princess Luosilusti, and they had high hopes for her,”
Vivian spoke with a dim expression.
“It was only later that people discovered, as the Unique Skill was activated, Tielle could indeed become stronger without any limits. However, at the same time, her mind would also become more and more violent, increasingly dangerous, eventually losing all sense of reason and turning into a monster that only knew destruction and combat.”
Because of this reason, Tielle had killed several people when she could barely even walk.
Even Tielle’s own family members had been seriously injured by her many times, and the Elbein Family was nearly thrown into chaos because of it.
Had it not been for the fact that the Elbein Family was the strongest Knight Family and Aridia possessed considerable strength at the time, and Tielle’s grandfather was also a super-powerful Level 95, the Elbein Family might have been destroyed.
“At that time, the Family Head of the Elbein Family, who was also Tielle’s grandfather, was gravely injured during one of Tielle’s rampages and was forced to retire, passing away in just a few short years,”
Vivian revealed this secret, causing both Lu Muya and Merica to cover their mouths in shock.
Even Shane’s breathing momentarily hitched.
There was no helping it.
It meant that Tielle had once killed her own grandfather with her own hands, causing the death of her own grandfather.
“From that time onwards, the Elbein Family realized the danger Tielle posed and no longer allowed her to activate her Unique Skill. They even concealed the news from the outside world, making everyone believe that Tielle had no Unique Skill, but only some talent,”
“Also because of this, Tielle never spoke of having a Unique Skill, and never used the Unique Skill. Once she triggered that Unique Skill, Tielle would no longer be Tielle.”
It is said that, because of this, Tielle’s family viewed her as a monster. Her parents never showed her any affection, and they even used to lock her in the underground cells if she disobeyed, thinking she might have again become violent.
Outsiders also thought that Tielle was a child who wasn’t favored by the Elbein Family, believing she lacked the qualifications to become the pillar of the Elbein Family and the heir to take on the Elbein legacy, thus they always looked down on, scorned, and even ignored her.
In other words, Tielle had always been alone since she was a child, never receiving love from anyone.
It was only after she met Luoqi, Riley, and Vivian that her situation was somewhat alleviated.
However, later on, a major event happened to Tielle that caused her to lose her mother. She became resentful towards her father, grew estranged from Luoqi, and nearly distanced herself from Riley and Vivian as well.
This girl’s life had always been spent in solitude, loneliness, darkness, and coldness.
“That’s just too… too…!”
Lu Muya’s eyes began to moisten, and Merica was even more agitated.
And Shane finally understood why the girl had always been so silent and why she was always so independent, desperately pursuing strength.
All of it was because she had a past she couldn’t bear to look back on.
“Now, Tielle has once again used her sealed Unique Skill, falling into a state of fury, and it will probably not be easy to bring her back,”
Upon hearing this, Shane spoke up.
“Is there no way to stop that Unique Skill?”
Vivian lowered her eyelids as she spoke.
“There is only one way.”
“To cut off that horn.”
