Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Aryas

Unlike the rest of the team, Serge had the hardest time keeping up and controlling her emotions from the pains of the Mist.

Dyne knew this and wanted to train Serge for a certain spell that would be performed on him in the game.

In Chrono Cross, Serge’s soul would be swapped and changed with the enemy, Lynx. Lynx needed to use Serge’s body as the ‘Chrono Trigger’ wanted to take over Serge’s body and swap souls with him.

Dyne knew that in this reality, such a thing could be avoided. Dyne trusted Calamitus’s careful plans and knew that Serge would go through a similar state in this life.

“Ah, the madness of the Mist. Bear it, Serge. Unless you want to become a Panther Demon, you better find ways to resist possible soul attacks. Especially ones that are trying to take over your body.” Dyne spoke firmly.

“Who wants to take over my body?! And what’s with you and this Panther Demon!?” Serge cursed. Every time Serge showed some form of anger, Dyne would call out this truth.

Serge had been falling into a mix of emotions ranging from anger to depression about how the village of Arni, or whatever versions of it, had disappeared here. During their journey, he saw the terrors of the Mist and realized that if not for his disgustingly strong companions, he would have died.

“I’m just telling you the grim possibility of your future. You are the Chrono Trigger, remember? That will make you an ideal host for Soul Cultivators and Mind Cultivators. So train to resist it now! Once we reach Biron, you will start formal training in that. We’ll be in River Reach within the next ten minutes as far as we are to our current destination. I’m just waiting so that the rest can catch up.”

“Will this Mist be there?” Serge asked, controlling his anger.

“Of course. But don’t worry. We found a place that can hide you from the Mist. So you can rest there. We might spend another day there depending on how long it will take for me to awaken my Holy Zenoir.” Dyne gazed at the vast distance. With the Chocobo, they were able to travel through the Mist quickly.

Nearly a kilometer away from Dyne, a group of Gobu Gobu and Blue Piuras were following a wolf. The wolf was not running at top speed but only led the way since those following him had young and female Gobu Gobu who didn’t have the stamina and strength of the mature Gobu Gobu. A pair of Chocobo also watched nearby with Noa and Rena riding them. Nevertheless, the wolf continued to chase the scent of Dyne, and the group followed.

“Are we there yet?” Noa asked Terra and Rena.

“Not yet. Noa, do you want to hear about the monsters in my place?" Rena chuckled and began to entertain Noa with more stories of her homeworld.

“Yay! More stories!” Noa flapped her arm in joy.

Arya chuckled at the sight of Noa.

“Lady Arya. Can you hear me?” Terra called out.

Arya heard the call and turned to Terra and was startled.

“Yes, Terra?”

“Sorry. Did I surprise you?”

“No. It’s my mistake. I’m just not used to having conversations like this. I’ve only stepped on the Path of Soul Cultivation a few days ago and had few opportunities to experience this. So I get surprised when Soul weapons like you call out.” Arya chuckled.

“I apologize once more. But I have a question. It’s about your power. There is a strange power in you. Through Dyne’s training, I believe you have a powerful form that was similar to the power of Biron of old. Biron had a strange power source that is similar to yours and is unlike anything we have seen. Most Biron monks in this world have an inferior source similar to that of Lady Rena’s. Although, Lady Rena has another power that takes root in her mind...” Terra asked.

“Oh. You must be talking about Bodily cultivation. Right. Dyne told me that this world has weak martial cultivation but has powerful Soul Cultivation. Anyway, I’m not sure how these Biron Monks cultivate. But I’m a Martial Formation expert. This means that I have already created a Martial Core in my Dantian, giving me the ability to wield and release Force energy. Most who begin cultivation try to create a Dantian. I can see that this new ally, Serge has one, but of inferior grade. I could teach you more if you want.”

“Thank you. I wish to help Noa cultivate and become stronger.”

“Ah… well, if it’s little sister Noa, just wait for Master Dyne to teach her. My Martial Core is actually quite weak. And Master Dyne has told me he’ll help me improve it and replace the Core. So if he can help me, then I'm sure he will help Noa.”

“Improve your core? Amazing. So you can even reach greater heights than your current body that could challenge serus and monsters of Legaia!”

“This is but the start. In some nations in my world, Martial Formation is but the minimum as my kingdom is quite weak. Master Dyne plans to help me redo my starting point to give me a stronger Martial Core. It will make me redo my cultivation back to Martial Formation level 1, but it’s quite alright since I’ve just started my Martial Formation.”

“Interesting. Jedo said that you are from the same world where our Creator came from and told me of many strange things. I have yet to understand most of them. But I must ask this. Jedo doesn’t seem to have sensed it yet, but I have. Why is there a strange soul in you? It feels like a creature similar to us, Ra-Seru, only this one doesn’t have a Core of sorts.”

“You sensed her?” Arya was amazed.

“You hold the power of Water. I can see it slowly forming. But this soul has the power of the Wind, which is a carefree spirit like mine. It’s natural for Jedo not to sense it. After all, you are Water, and the other is wind. Both are among Jedo’s family tree. It’s rather confusing since Jedo is both Dark and Time/Space. So when he is near you, he would only have a feeling that your soul radiates a power that hides the actual element you have. All he can sense is an element close to his Element. Does Lord Dyne know of your existence? Why hasn’t he addressed the problem in your soul? You’re like a dying Ra-Seru.”

“Arya?” Arya asked the soul-deep within her.

“I guess it’s ok to reveal this.” The other Arya spoke.

Terra heard the other soul and was amazed.

“Hi. I’m also Arya. I share the same name and face as this person. But I am from another world.”

“Another world? Just like Lord Dyne?”

“???”

“???”

Both Aryas were confused by Terra’s question.

“Wait… I thought Dyne is from this world?” The other Arya asked.

“He is not. He is neither from this world, and Jedo confirmed that he is also not in the same world that you, lady Arya belong to. You belong to a world he calls Eternity or the Cultivation World.”

“Amazing…” Arya marveled as the secrets of Dyne grew deeper.

“Then what world did Dyne live in?” the other Arya asked.

“Jedo has not told me. But from what I understand, Lord Tieg is a mighty god in the Cultivation World. He holds a power greater than most of the gods but was ambushed and nearly killed. He created this world, Legaia, and brought a champion into this world to train him to defeat the gods that attacked Tieg. From what I understand, Lord Tieg created this world from the memories of Lord Dyne. This world is an imitation of a certain strange form of literature that Jedo calls, Video games.”

The moment Terra said the term 'video games, memories of the other Arya’s talks with Dyne surfaced.

“Legend of Legaia! Of course! Now I remember! He is Dyne! He is the same Dyne from Earth!” Arya was shocked.

“You know him?” Terra asked.

“Lady Arya has what you call a crush on Dyne. This is the most joyous news! Lady Arya is given a chance to rekindle her romance with Dyne!” Arya laughed.

“What an amazing coincidence. Then it means that you, Lady Arya have the same power as Lord Dyne.”

“Erm… No. Dyne has always been amazing. A little awkward, a little tactless, and frankly, weird. But amazing nonetheless. But Dyne has been more amazing in this world. Arya has told me how difficult it is for Dyne to do the things he did. So I never connected the two. Before I was sent here, I knew that Dyne was back in our hometown. I was all alone when my parents died. So me and my best friend were actually planning to sort-of… like, go shopping or stalk Dyne and appear casually hoping that he would like to invite us to do something, ya know?”

"Ya know?" Terra imitated the strange slang.

“She talks like this. It’s cute.” Arya laughed and remarked to Terra.

“Anyway, I never believed that the Dyne in this world is the same as with that one. For one, this Dyne looks way, way younger! And secondly, because I knew Dyne was in my original world not even two months since I got here, I never believed him to be that Dyne because this Dyne has been doing things that Arya said would take decades to master!”

“I see. Then Lord Dyne has not yet sensed you. I guess aside from his Elemental Affinity being too far from Water and Wind. There is also the fact that your two souls are very similar!”

“You mentioned that it’s possible to save Lady Arya’s soul?” Arya asked.

“Yes. And it just so happens to be the primary mission of Lord Dyne in this world. The Genesis Tree.”

As that was happening, Strafe was listening to the conversation and was shocked at what he heard.

"Arya Blaze of Earth is here?!"
