"Auuuu~~~~~~" A sorrowful, coarse cry pierced the skies, as Merkel leapt from the roof of the Lord's Mansion to the mountain peak behind, howling loudly.
The Magical Beasts quietly listened for a few minutes before joining in with their own mournful cries, adding to the ritual.
The Water Elementals jumped into the small fountain in front of the church, using all their strength to burst forth a spray of water almost a kilometer high.
Hill watched silently and performed the Mage Ceremony in silence.
This was the funeral that the Water Elementals and the Magical Beasts were holding for the deities who had sacrificed themselves for this land thousands of years ago.
Atop the mountain, Merkel's aura grew increasingly powerful. Hill's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that in this short period, Merkel's power had come close to being legendary.
Did Merkel also possess the bloodline of the Demigod that had perished back then?
