Chapter 31 Kano Tribe VII - Regret And Despair
Most of the girls fighting down in the yard got confused why they ordered like that, most of them stop fighting because they heard the word goddess otherwise they wouldn't have stopped even if the chiefs ordered them.
"Who is that?" Girls were murmuring among themselves looking at the shirtless figure of Nikol.
"Isn't that the one Alva always has around her?" The girls who trained with Nikol the other day asked looking at the familiar figure.
Ron tribe was confused but not as much as the Kano people.
They didn't know what to do as most of them heard what they said about her. They didn't want to risk going against the orders of the goddess so the Kano tribe also dropped their weapon.
Eva was looking at them trying to shout but with Nikol's shirt in her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.
"Good! Do what we told you to do, I will talk out things with your clan chiefs," Nikol was acting flawlessly giving a real and bossy feeling to his words.
He ended his speech but the murmur in the yard didn't stop even after that,
"Why is his chest like that? Is he really a messenger from the goddess? Does that mean she didn't abandon us?" Girls were talking happily with each other.
The medics quickly came to collect the injured people of both tribes without discriminating against each other. They felt hope and happiness returning to them hearing their words because if that figure is really a goddess messenger that meant half of their problems are already over.
Nikol was looking at the crowd with a satisfied look while he felt the power he had in his body reducing little by little.
"It's okay Usha if they are not going to fight anymore like that, it's a small price to pay, they will get to know about me when we start our plans anyway, so what's the difference?" Nikol asked her giving his usual smile.

Usha felt weird seeing these two contrasting sides of him at the same time,
"Damn! This kid really is something," She quickly lifted Eva like a sack and grabbed her to convince her with Nikol to stop this foolishness of going to war like this.
The damage caused by this attack was not a small amount as they destroyed the precious wall as well and many girls got fatally injured or some might have died.
Usha didn't know how to feel about this as it was part of her fault, if she hadn't been so proud and accepted Alva's words, she could have avoided these unwanted casualties.
"I want to talk with you two, come with me," Nikol said while grabbing Usha's hand. Normally she would have acted like her proud and powerful chief behaviour and ignored him acting cool but, now she had nothing but regrets in her mind.
Alva saw them going back to the mansion area with Eva, so she quickly handed over Lydia to one of her subordinates and followed them.
They entered the building while carrying Eva, the meeting room wasn't in the best shape as they already used it for the war meeting earlier but the location wasn't the most important thing for them right now.
Usha kept Eva on a chair and released her mouth taking the piece of clothing she had in her mouth.
"You bitch! I'll kill you, don't think you won this war," Nikol felt a headache hearing her persistent cursing and swearing at them.
"Do you want me to shove it back again in your mouth, just shut the fuck up and listen," Nikol said reaching his limit of patience.
Usha took her seat and looked at them thinking of how to tell them about the story of how she messed up in big Time in past, Nikol decided to act as an intermediate party between them to break the awkwardness in the atmosphere.
"Eva, why did you attack here?" They didn't release her hand as she would throw a tantrum the moment she got released.
"Huh~ why should I tell you?" She refused to answer instead Usha answered his question.
"They want to take Nym to their tribe," Her previous cold demeanour was nowhere to be seen.
"Why do you want to take her back?" Nikol didn't understand what was happening.
"They want her light magic, she's the reason why we are not getting attacked by cursed magic users, unlike fire, water, wind and earth, users of light magic are rare to find, only light magic can resist those damn curses," Eva was amazed to see her talking like that, Usha she knew about was proud and silent, she didn't expect her to answer someone like that.
"Because of you many people in our tribe died, you could have shared her with us, if we had her power we wouldn't have to live like rats hiding from those creepy people," Eva yelled at Usha, her voice had desperation and painfulness written all over it.
"I'm sorry," Usha doesn't say anything other than that.
"Why didn't you share it with these people, chief?" Nikol had trust in Usha, he knew the one who treated him kindly when he was lost wouldn't do something cruel like that. He knew she must have some reason to do such a thing.
"Nym doesn't have enough power unlike her mother, she barely has enough mana to help our own tribe so I selfishly took the decision not to share it, I know I'm wrong but I don't regret doing it," Her expression was filled with sadness and pain looking her best friend Eva's face.
"You bitch!" She stood up and tried to kick her but, Nikol quickly restrained her.
"Let me go, kid, before I kill you too," Eva had a superior strength against the current Nikol but, somehow he managed to hold her.
"Calm down Eva, fighting now doesn't solve anything, Let's find a solution together to your problem I promise you,"
Eva heard Nikol's words and looked at him,
"Who the hell are you kid? What can you do? Damn goddess has already given up on us, we have no future, especially with selfish people like her," Her words stuck in Usha's mind filling her mind with self-hatred.
"I don't know about this curse magic, but I can help you to solve it, I will show you how to do it," Nikol decided to stop holding back and help these people, he understood to some extent why Usha did something like that but, he couldn't forget the kind Usha who helped him in his hardest time.
He was interested to know the whole story to decide why they had so much hatred for each other.
Eva didn't understand what he was talking about but she calmed down for a minute hearing his kind words.
"What is this help, you're talking about?" Eva asked him.
"I can do sacred impregnation in your words, I'm not like you guys, I'm a man, so I can help you with it," Nikol felt embarrassed to talk like that but, he didn't want her to misunderstand him so he fully explained about him.
"It isn't possible, you're telling me you can do something that our goddess did? Simply, foolish and how can you do that, bless us or something," Nikol didn't know how this serious and depressing talk came into this.
"Well, it's a complex process,"
"He's telling the truth, believe him, Eva," Usha opened her mouth for the first time to talk with Eva.
"You shut up! I didn't ask anything from you," Just like that their conversation ended without any progress.
"I will show you it later, first tell me more about this whole curse magic thing," Nikol took her attention. For some reason, she didn't feel irritated like before when talking with him. She hated him for throwing her like a bag in the battle but, Eva wasn't the type to keep the hatred about things happening on the battlefield.
"We don't know much about it but just like its name it is a cursed power that's why we call it cursed magic,"
"Those shitty curse magic users use different types of despicable spells using it, there is a spell-like I said to you before that is used to extract the soul of a living person to give it new life in a new form, It's the most disturbing spell they use, they kill our people just to collect souls and increase their own people because none of us can have new offsprings," Eva explained it to Nikol with the experience her clan faced due to it.
"Do you know what's the most fucked up part of it?" She asked looking at Nikol.
"They have the exact same look as the person, they stole souls from but they are like new people with no memories or anything,"
Nikol felt disgusted hearing about the methods of this so-called cursed magic.
"Unlike them, we didn't have a light mage so our people constantly got attacked, I attacked this place with all our tribe because it's either our survival or our end at this point," Nikol listened to her every word giving her full attention.
"Chief, how do you use this light magic to ward off this curse user?"
"It's like protection, light mages can use a spell called a holy blessing, it's a really useful spell but she's not powerful enough to provide it to the whole tribe unlike her mother, so I protected her like a gem," Usha said looking at Eva who was glaring at her.
"So what happened to her?" Both Usha and Eva's faces went gloomy when he asked that question.
"It's a long story, but I will tell you," Usha started to talk about the days when the two tribes were friendly.
