NOVPUBThe 12 dungeon bosses were not supposed to have their memories. At best, they were supposed to have bits and pieces. However, the Ice Princess, who was the last to introduce herself, still has her memories.
This was a shock to the 11 dungeon bosses and even Kent himself.
Kent didn't know why she still had her memories, but he could speculate that she had been in the dungeon for only a few years compared to the rest.
Perhaps that was the case, but he wasn't too concerned about that, considering his main focus now was learning about Ankaara and why she wanted revenge on her family.
"First of all, I still have every last bit and piece of my memories. My full name is Ankaara Frostveil, of the royal family of the White Crystal Elemental race.
I am next in line to the throne of our race in the 67 Continental World. My mother was the Queen Mother, and my father is the King.
However, when my mother died, things changed. My stepmother, using her bewitching powers, corrupted my father to the point that he declared my junior sister the next Crown Queen.
Not that I minded. I never wanted the responsibility of being queen anyway. However, while I didn't, my sister and her mother wanted it so badly that my presence became a headache to them.
So they went further and, for hundreds of years, did all they could to ruin my name. When they couldn't, they conspired with the Flame Void Elemental race, one of the powerhouses in the 67 Continental Worlds.
They wanted to marry me off to some no-name, useless, incredibly substandard, stupid prince of that race. I refused, and while this marriage would indeed have brought our two races together, my refusal wasn't taken lightly.
But I am a princess, and nobody can force me. But what I failed to notice was the extent to which my stepmother and her daughter would go.
After being asked seven times, it turns out my refusal went against an old rule of my race I wasn't aware of, and the punishment for that was banishment into the Void Region—a place from which no one who traverses it has ever returned.
It was between marrying that ugly bastard or death. However, I didn't hesitate to choose death. My soul and spirit wouldn't accept that marriage, so I chose death.
However, when I was banished into the Void and at death's door, I was miraculously teleported into the dungeon as the last floor boss. I've been there for 590 years already.
I have my memories—every last one of them—and as for my realm, I know my true cultivation is at the Immortal Emperor stage, just a step away from becoming an Immortal Monarch. Then I can start comprehending divinity to become a demigod."
By the time Ankaara finished her narrative, the only ones not seething were Kaizo and Gorzak, the Barbarian King, who were still clashing in fierce combat.
Well, Veydris couldn't be angry either, so there were three of them. The rest could sense Ankaara's anger and knew she meant it when she said she would get her revenge.
However, Irina asked a question that made Kent look at Ankaara after glaring at the shadow lady.
"Sounds to me like you managed to get your life back. I mean, you didn't want to marry that scum nor become the queen. Also, your mother died, and as for your dad, he's a loser who couldn't control his dick. So now that you're here with us, I think you're safe... right?"
Ankaara wasn't angry about Irina's words. It felt like she needed to hear that. She even smiled upon hearing her harsh words.
"You're right, Irina. My life has indeed turned out well. However, the reason I want revenge isn't for me, but for my mother. She died, but I didn't say how she died, until the last moments of my life"
"Let me guess, those losers poisoned her," Vorthar, the Demon Lord, said.
"They did more than that. They stole her Soul Root and Elemental Core. And let me tell you, losing even one of those is more painful than anything you can ever imagine.
I only found out the day before I was banished. My mother was a genius among immortals. She was the best. However, they went ahead and did something that grim to her—all so they could make that bitch called my sister a genius too."
"These bastards want to die so badly," Aetheris, the brute born from the fallen body, said, radiating killing qi.
The others weren't far behind.
"Let's all calm down now, guys. The current us can't do much. However, that doesn't mean we won't do anything." Kent turned toward Ankaara.
He studied her expression first. "I don't know where your world is, but I do know we'll get there one day. I have faith we'll get there, and when we do, trust me, we'll rain fury on them—and if possible, make their descendants pay for their crimes."
Kent spoke those words naturally, in a calming way, but to those hearing him, they sensed words full of determination and anger—ones that screamed for justice.
"For now, make yourself at home. These are all your brothers and sisters. We are one big family, and we will only grow in the future, so get acquainted with them.
If you need anything, just ask and it will be provided. There is an entire world to explore here and out there, so get used to your new life."
Ankaara nodded, hearing Kent's words.
Kent went to examine the cocoon where Yi Lai, the hunter, was undergoing her transformation for a few minutes.
After a while, he left and went back to the Mountain Garden, where the three lolis seemed to have figured out something and wanted to talk to him about it.
He may have only heard about Ankaara's life, but something told him he wasn't the only one with such a tragic backstory.
He had a feeling the others also shared the same setting, and thus, he knew what had to be done—but for now, he would let time handle things.
