Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-601

"It was a very strange one. Firstly, you took us over to Anara's side of the farm, where you introduced your firstborn to us, which you had had between yourself and Anara before you introduced Anara as your partner…" Celeste responded.

She wanted to continue; however, her words immediately trailed off when she realized something was wrong.

This wasn't their hut!

Before Orion could respond, she shifted her eyes back towards him, her gaze trembling as she asked, "Orion… Where are we?"

"We are not in our hut right now, okay, so take a deep breath," Orion said indirectly.

"Don't... tell me that what happened was real?" Celeste responded, staring at Orion with wide eyes.

Orion let out a wry smile. He sighed as he watched his mother's eyes instantly shrink to the size of needles, her breathing quickening.

Nonetheless, instead of replying so as not to make her suddenly faint again, Orion took a more calm and slow approach, "You are overthinking about it; I think you should cool down for a minute," he said.

However, instead of following his instructions, her breathing hastened even more.

"That means… you really have a baby," Celeste responded.

Orion sighed helplessly for the umpteenth time.

Nevertheless, that seemed to be the last straw for Celeste as her eyes immediately turned hazy before she became unconscious.

Orion sighed, giving up when he saw this. Unfortunately, all four of them had fallen unconscious once more immediately after they had woken up. He pondered what to do before deciding to leave it for Aunt Greta and the others to handle, as they might be more suited to help speak with his mother and the others once they wake up again.

Regardless, the sun was about to set, and he needed to attend the meeting before the evening ended.

'Let me go and tell them first because it's best not to be late,' Orion thought as he headed outside to meet with Aunt Greta, Sura, Lyra, and the others to inform them before he left.

He also wanted to ensure Aunt Greta checked on Sura since she would be pregnant soon.

…....

"Hmmm! So that is all that happened, and how you defeated the god, 'White Flame'," the Village Chief said thoughtfully as he nodded in response.

"If possible, can I see the blade you used to slay the god?" he asked curiously.

Not only him, but several others in the room were curious about the kind of blade that Orion had used to slay White Flame and how it looked.

Orion nodded his head. He stood from his raised platform and immediately summoned the Crimson greatsword into his grasp.

Luckily, Aerialia could now fully wield the total weight of the sword easily, or else he doubted if the treehouse could even support it.

"Who are they?" Aerialia said, observing the people around her as she hovered in the air behind Orion.

However, Orion ignored Aerialia's words, unable to respond due to his present situation.

"Are they your leaders?" Aerialia asked, observing their sitting positions and the dignified air around them.

After not getting a response once more, she immediately frowned, noticing that Orion was ignoring her.

Despite understanding that it was due to his current situation, Aerialia snorted loudly in response before proceeding to hover silently behind Orion.

She hoped to grasp some more information about Orion's Village and the world around them, which Orion might have hidden from her.

Unaware of the divine presence within the room, everyone's eyes, from the Village Chief and the Village Chieftess to Caretaker Zola, Caretaker Shani, Caretaker Ivor, Caretaker Nala, Caretaker Nadia, and Stronghold Leader Zogar, were fixed on the glowing Crimson greatsword.

Its brilliance entranced their eyes, making them understand that what they were currently looking at was something that surpassed anything in this world and shouldn't even exist in it.

Though Seth had already seen the Crimson greatsword a few times in action, he was also a bit mesmerized by its brilliance and uniqueness, which he was sure he would never get tired of.

The Village Chief quickly recovered his composure and focused his attention back on Orion, "You said that the Aegis of the Arcitc Deity took you to a place which was supposedly a trial where you got the Crimson blade. Can you describe what it was?" the Village Chief asked.

Seth listened carefully, awaiting Orion's response. He, too, wanted to know how Orion had managed to acquire such an extremely powerful weapon.

Orion shook his head in response.

"Though I don't remember most of it, I do remember that I met a goddess who willingly gave me this Crimson greatsword for my protection," Orion responded.

The only ones aware of what had happened within the trial grounds were the Aegis of the Arctic Deity, the royal family, the Crystalforge Clan's elite warriors who had participated in the trial, and him. He planned to keep it that way, not because he didn't trust them, but because he didn't think it would be a good idea to have such information out in the open, especially when there were bound to be other races and beings in various conditions out there.

Seth frowned, clearly expecting to receive a much more detailed explanation.

"A goddess?" The Village Chief said, his brows slightly raised as he looked at Orion. From Naka to White Flame and the Aegis of the Arctic Deity, they were all described as males. The fact that Orion had just mentioned that the divine being who gave him that Crimson greatsword was a woman, something they had never encountered, made him extremely doubtful.

However, not only the Village Chief, but everyone else, especially the women, glinted with interest in their eyes as they heard Orion's words.

"Yes," Orion nodded in response, "Her name is Aerialia, the goddess of the hunting moon. Without her help, we wouldn't have stood a chance against White Flame," Orion said, not forgetting to butter up Aerialia with his words, since she was right behind him.
