Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts-Chapter 1569: The Asura Palace

Vista was a bit nervous. Although he had become a world class summoner two decades ago, the people in front of him might have become stronger than him, especially Nathan, Luna, and Evelyn.

To face these people who were talking about world-changing devices so casually, there was no way he could maintain his composure.

Vista took a deep breath before he began his explanations.

"I will start with a brief history of the Asura Palace. The Asura Palace was built by a man named Ganesha.

"In the southern land where barbaric nomadic tribes were running rampant, the birth of Ganesha was like a heaven-sent gift.

"At such a young age, he ruled his tribe and started conquering other tribes. He then continued his conquests on other, more civilized territories in the south.

"At the age of 24, he managed to conquer a fourth of the territory. One-third at the age of 28, half at 31... and the whole southern region by 38. It was a conquest that no one had ever seen before.

"People called him the Great Conqueror of the Heavens. Wherever he wanted to go, he would walk there and it would be conquered. His path was everyone’s path.

"However, his method was rather brutal. The men who didn’t join him would be massacred, their women would become slaves, and their children would fuel the army.

"So, most people were afraid of him and ultimately submitted to him. But it was due to this nature that countless human lives were lost.

"People thought after conquering the southern region, he would go north and conquer the rest of the world.

"That was why the more civilized areas in the north started preparing for a great war.

"The Liaystian Kingdom hadn’t been formed, but the smaller kingdoms that used to be there had made a coalition.

"They joined forces with the Azilia Kingdom and the Kroana Empire.

"The war lasted for ten years.

"The Asura led the army bravely, defeating the coalition force. Due to this result, the Kroana Empire ended up in decline.

"The remnants of this empire gave birth to two present kingdoms: the Beast Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom.

"Someone from the allies ended up using the Asura as his role model and united all smaller kingdoms to create the Liaystian Kingdom. The Azilia Kingdom was severely weakened, but it managed to survive.

"I shouldn’t say this as a subject of the Azilia Kingdom, but if the war lasted any longer, the Azilia Kingdom would have been destroyed.

"The king had died. If not for Prince Richard Vietta Ezelia, who was later known to be the Great King, the Azilia Kingdom would have been no more.

"The Great King united all the territories and raised people’s morale by personally going to the battlefield. They were ready for one last stand. It was a brutal fight, but we managed to hold on.

"No, it was more accurate to say that the aliens helped us.

"In that brutal war, the aliens arrived."

Nathan and Luna were probably the only ones who were not that aware of the history of this continent for obvious reasons.

Nathan might have learned about it in the past, but it was only superficial. Luna was new to the continent, so she carefully assessed the information.

Nathan couldn’t help but ask, "So, the aliens started to appear in the south?"

"Yes." Vista nodded. "According to our history, there was a massive portal appearing in the sky, which was the start of the alien invasion.

"From that day on, more and more aliens were pouring into this world. The Asura had no choice but to retreat and protect the Asura Palace with his own armies.

"The coalition force didn’t have enough time or force to chase after him. At that time, they also didn’t know that the aliens were a common enemy. They just thought the enemy of my enemy was my friend.

"But it was made abundantly clear that was not the case soon.

"The Asura Palace fought overwhelmingly at first... just like how they had always done on all their previous battlefields. However, the aliens were endless. There were so many of them that the Asura Palace’s warriors became exhausted.

"As a result, the Asura Palace was severely damaged by the aliens. However, even in this situation, the fame of the Asura only grew further.

"It was said that he was the first person to kill a mature class alien. There were even some rumors that he managed to kill a warrior class alien.

"People often called Hero Mikhail Havengard was not the first summoner. It was him. People wondered how Hero Mikhail Havengard awakened as a summoner, but they believed that the Asura was the first to awaken his ena, but there was no concrete proof that he managed to summon a familiar. Either way, he butchered aliens left and right with his ena.

"Unfortunately, what a single man could do was limited. It was said that after fighting numerous aliens, the Asura fell in battle.

"However, there were some records that stated that the Asura might not have fallen on the battlefield. Rather, he was so injured that he had to enter a seclusion and ultimately succumb to his injuries.

"Not much information could be found about the Asura Palace because people were quite scared to enter the Asura Palace.

"The Asura fathered many children. During his conquest, he often impregnated either the wives or the daughters of the rulers who surrendered to him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"There were a lot of great people who claimed themselves to be descendants of the Asura.

"Even though he was infamous, you could say people did admire his strength. He was not only a brilliant commander but also a great conqueror after all.

"Even the current strongest person in the world, Elysion Aquamoon, was rumored to be the descendant of the Asura.

"Nevertheless, there was no one who could confirm that information. After all, the Asura Palace was razed to the ground by the aliens.

"He had smuggled people away from his palace, but according to the report, the bravest children or the loyal wives remained by his side even when they faced their doom."
