Chapter 17 - Gae Bolg: Soaring spear signalling Death

3 years passed by in a flash.

We have saved hundreads of slaved lives and they we're all living with us and being taught by Merlin.

At furst I was anxious because the house was small but, I learned Merlin could create houses with his magic territory creation.

We we're called over by Merlin. Today was the day we we're getting our weapons

"The weapons you are obtaining today will give you challenges. The challenges are given by the spirits that have blessed the weapons. The blessing makes them incredibly durable and gives them added benefits!"

First was

"Cu Chulainn, pls step forward"

Cu stepped forward

"To earn your spear, you must earn it in a battle of speed. You are one of Arthurs fastest servants, surpassing even him in overall speed." Said merlin

"Cu" said Arthur "Good luck! Do your best!"

Cu and Arthur we're best friends so this gave Cu the will to show his strength to his lord

"Umu!"

Merlin opened up a path

Cu walked through the path and went to a stadium specially designed for his test

The others we're sent to the bleachers to watch as an audience

A red spear was in the middle and it was surrounded by giant stone pillars

Cu went to the middle of the pillars and put his hand over the spear

He tried to grab it

He failed

The moment he nearly touched the spear; the spear flew away

Cu chased after the spear

The spear was faster but Cu was somehow still able...No, just barely able to keep up

Everyone could sense it. He was using a huge amount of mana just to keep up

"YOU! AREN'T! GETTING! AWAY!" Cu reached towards the spear. He released a large amount of mana from his feet letting him catch up.

His hand was near the spear. He was about to catch it but,

"...! Wha?!"

the spear went faster than expected

"Go Go Cu! Go Go Cu! Child of light! His speed is as fast as light! Go Go Cu!"

The others started chanting support for Cu

Cu then started thinking "Right! I'm as fast as light! The fastest! And one if the closest to our lord in terms of friendship! I cannot! LOSE!" Cu started speeding up

The spear started going up. To follow it Cu started climbing up the pillars following the spear by jumping from pillar to pillar

Cu slowly started catching up to the spear each time with the momentum given to him by his spring like landing on his feet

Shhhhhhhhiiiiii!

The spear changed it's course going to the center stopping its path through the pillars cutting off Cu's path

But Cu was not one to accept giving up

He accepted failure but he can never ever accept not trying and not finishing what has been started

Cu with all of his strength kicked off the pillar he was standing in

He reached put his hand in hopes for catching the spear

He caught the sp—No, the spear let itself be caught

The moment Cu caught the spear they started falling

Cu and the audience were panicking but Merlin was Calm

Because he knew the spear accepted Cu as its owner the moment it got caught

Cu looked at the spear in hand

The spear glowed multiple times

Cu felt like it was telling him to calm down and call it's name

A telepathic connection formed with the spear and Cu it then transmitted "Gae bolg"

"I see"

Cu flipped over amd started looking at the ground as he falls

He breathes in and out then shouts

"GAE!...BOLG!" The spear glowed bright red

Cu was then enveloped by the bright red glow

.

"Hey! Is he okay!?" Harlequinn asked to Merlin

We all looked towards Merlin

He answered "No need to worry. This was his Victory"

After hearing that we looked back at the stadium

There was Cu standing in blue tights holding his new spear high

.

We focused on one topic when we saw Cu

"Nice tights!" Reinhardt shouted

"Are you the sun? Cause that butt is blinding my eye!" Arthur shouted

"You're small!" Delta shouted

Every make near them made a sad face when they heard what Delta said

Arthur looked at Delta and said this "Delta

.

"Mmh? Yes, master?"

"Delta, you went a little too far. In the future no teasing anyone about their size okay?"

"Hmm? Why not?"

"That's because ut wiuld hurt me and others"

Delta gasped "I-I hurt master!? S-sorry! Pls forgive Delta! I wont do it again!"

I patted Delta's head to calm her down "That's okay"

Delta blushed. I didn't know why

.

Merlin walked over to Cu

"This spear is named Gae bolg. It holds 2 abilities the first is just as you saw it gave you armor in the form if tights and the second is.....It is an anti-unit weapon. The second ability has a lot of possibilities so I hope that in the years coming you will be able to master it"

The spears design was ominously cool with an overall red color. It had vine like design entangled in the shaft

"I see"

"You can also summon it since you've beenbound to it"

"Okay, so re the others the same?"

"Yeah, they gve them nique armor and they can summon the weapon"

"Okay"

.

In the future he shall Earn the Moniker "Child of light" with a short message Arthur made for fun "Child of light, bring forth light within darkness and death to your enemies. Pierce through the despair with your spear and open a sign of hope to the masses engulfed in Terror and grief"
