"Take this," Aqua said to Mitsuki, giving him an orb. It was glowing a deep blue and it had Aqua's symbol.
"What is this orb?"
"It is the blessing of Lord Aqua to the Village," Valeria said.
"As you study about this world, Brook Village is considered a holy place in the entire kingdom. It has higher divinity than any other area, since it is said that many gods have set their foot there, although it is not know that Aqua is from there. All that is known is that Aqua is the god of the region. What you are holding on your hand is Aqua's blessing, as Valeria said. It is divine energy that is used to power a barrier that acts as protection for the whole Brook region." Poki said.
"I see."
"Now, you shall start walking up to there." Aqua said, handing Poki and Valeria some cloaks; a green one for Poki and an orange one for Valeria.
"Those are cloaks from us as gifts." Aqua said to them.
"Wait a second, you are not just going to change the topic.. You said they are going to walk?" Miyuki asked.
"Well, yes I did." Aqua said. "Allon is a pretty mischievous one, so we need to avoid spatial travel for now. Besides, this will also help you train along the way. The summoned will also arrive in Brook Village in five days." Aqua said.
"Very well, let us go, shall we?" Mitsuki said excitedly.
"You seem very excited," Poki said.
Images of his classmates flashed through his mind.
"I guess...." He said. Aqua came near to him, whispering in his ear.
"Keep your emotions in check when you see them, okay?" He said.
"Of course, try not to cry waiting for us, okay?" Mitsuki said as he looked at a cetain pillar.
"You too, Cupid. Don't follow us at all, got that?"
Cupid appeared, sighing.
"Aw man.. Why the hell can you sense me.. I would have finally had the chance to see lewd things between the three of you.."
The two girls blushed as they stared fiercely at Cupid.
"Even if anything happens, I will never possibly just allow you to stare at it.. Let's go." Mitsuki said as he turned to leave. He suddenly stopped and turned towards Miyuki, embracing her.
"Take care, Miyuki."
"You too brother.. Anyway, that was quite bold of you to say you are going to do lewd things with them right in front of us," Miyuki said, making Mitsuki blush.
"Uh, no! I er.."
Aqua started laughing together with Cupid.
"Now, start your journey, you should be able to make it there quite fast, but I will leave the decision making to you." Aqua said, placing his fist on his insignia on Mitsuki's cloak, doing the same with the two girls.
"This insignia will help you a lot there."
As the three left, Aqua, Cupid, Miyuki and all the staff were waving at them, wishing them good luck.
"Now, why did you want me to remain?" Miyuki asked, looking at the two gods.
"Well, Mitsuki would have never accepted that." Aqua said.
"No need, Aqua. This girl is sharp." Cupid said.
"I see.. Let's just say, you are the only one that can control him if he loses his mind or something like that. He has a huge burden and has several traumatic memories, yet he tries to hide it all the time, so.."
"I know.. If something were to happen," Miyuki said.
As the three left Aqua's Realm, they found themselves in a hilly terrain with forests all around them.
"This is the Divine farm" Valeria said.
"Divine farm.. I have only heard of it." Poki added
"Basically, Aqua's realm is actually in this plane, it is like a secluded dimension with a connection to this place, so this place always grows a lot of divine trees, which Priests come to harvest once in a while to make scabbards of holy swords and many other things."
"Oh, I now see why Aqua has such a title," Mitsuki said, remembering the title he saw when he first saw Aqua.
[Aqua Silthos]
[God of waters]
[Title: The guardian of Humans]
[Title: Uncompromising Punisher]
"Seems like Aqua is more close to humans than the other Celestior gods." Poki said.
"Now, let us first head out of this Divine Farm, we have some monsters waiting for us out there." Mitsuki said as he led the way. He was still wearing the mask and the sword was on his side.
"By the way, Mitsuki.. I think we need to hide these weapons for now." Poki said.
" These weapons we have are weapons that are weapons that have only been seen in divine revelations. It is not an understatement to say that many view them as god like entities." Aquourus said, appearing in front of them.
"Ame no Nuhoko and Kogarasu Maru, they are pretty powerful I see." Mitsuki said.
"Look here Mitsuki. You have the highest grade of a cloak, a mask and you have the Oryon, a sword called the sword of the most supreme, the only weapon that has been ranked in Divine level. Yet, you are here with even more divine level things. Your cloak has the marking of a god and has the divine pact on it, you will be really feared and revered out there." Valeria said.
"You girls shall actually be worshipped more. The divine pact and the Oryon are not know by many. The only thing many will see is the Aqua insignia. You girls have legendary class weapons and you have four insignias. One of Aqua and the other three for the Creation Pact, that is, the three top gods of Celestior, which means, Mitsuki will be fine," Aquourus said.
"Long story short, we will all gain some attention, so we shall reveal our weapons as we fight." Mitsuki said.
"Okay then, I shall not appear anymore due to your low amount of mana, I shall only appear when the fight begins. I wish you good luck." Aquourus said as she disappeared.
"Okay now, let's go." Mitsuki said as the three started running at high speeds.
"Let us arrive there in three days, then we use the rest to plan as we wait for the summoned." Poki said.
*****
Lugunica, the capital.
The royal training Arena.
Marcus watched the summoned practice their combat skills against the knights, paying attention to which type of weapon each summoned was using, together with their ability to utilize mana and skills onto the weapons. A stealth knight appeared in front of Marcus and handed him a letter. Marcus read through all of it and nodded, returning the letter to the knight. He stood up, excusing the stealth knight.
"STOP!" He commanded. Everyone stopped what they were doing.
"I have received a reply from the elders of Brook Village that they will be ready to accommodate us when we reach there, so we shall start the journey in five hours. Go refresh yourselves then head to the holy chapel immediately!"
"The holy chapel? Why?" Mark asked.
"There are blacksmiths there who receive divine revelations from the gods. When you all came, they received revelations from the gods that chose all of you and they have made holy grade equipment for all of you," Marcus replied. This caused excited murmurs among them.
"If I may ask, sir, are holy grade equipment the highest grade?" Virginia asked.
"No, they are not. You shall learn all about the grades later on in the magic school. Now, you are dismissed."
Liz, who was behind Virginia, started giggling.
"My, my.. Even the captain of knights can see that you are utter trash, not worthy to even tell you about the weapons." She said, walking towards her.
"What is your problem Liz? Just because you are the third most powerful doesnt mean that you can just speak in anyway you want." One of them said.
"Shut up, Lewis. I was not talking to you, I was talking to miss 'class representative' here."
"That's enough, Liz." Emilia said. "The captain said that we shall learn all about them in the school, we are in a hurry right now, that's why."
"And the loser's girlfriend joins the circus.. Isn't it obvious? We are the ones who have been summoned from another world, we are the only hope this world has, of course we will have the finest grade of equipment, or is your brain as shitty as your boyfriend?" Liz asked, with a smug on her face.
Emilia sighed, trying to control her emotions.
"The grade of equipment has been divided into five: Basic grade, Knight grade, Mithril grade, Holy grade, Legendary grade and finally Divine grade." Emilia said, staring intensely at Liz. "Only the summoned and chosen ones can wield the holy grade equipment and higher. Legendary grade can only be made by the gods themselves and there are only five known ones that have been seen in divine visions. For divine grade, only one is known and only one person has seen it in a vision. Not much is known about it." Emilia walked towards Liz and whispered to her.
"Does that answer satisfy you, bitch?"
Liz, now angry, tried to attack but her body couldn't move.
"Shut up and stay put, 'third most powerful'" Emilia said as she went towards Virginia and everyone started going out of the arena into the resting area.
Liz cursed internally, feeling embarrassed.
"That girl.. How did she know all that?" Marcus wondered.
"Thanks, Adoffina." Emilia said telepathically to the Superior spirit in her.
"Anytime, Emilia-" Adoffina suddenly gasped.
"What's up?"
"I sensed a greater spirit... A greater spirit has appeared on the planet.." Adoffina said.
"Let's ask Ein then, you said that she also has a superior spirit right?"
"Y- yes.. But, if by any chance, we meet the person with such a spirit, do not dare to do anything, understood?"
"Yes, now let's go look for Ein."
Ein was in her room, when she heard a knock.
"Yes?"
"Princess Ein, madam Emilia is asking for you." A knight said outside her room.
"Hmmm, bring her here."
"But-"
"It's okay, we are close friends."
Emilia was brought up to her room. She knocked and opened the door. Ein's room was well arranged and it had several pink themed things in her room, but all in all, she was well organized.
"Come in, Emilia."
"Thanks." She said as she closed the door behind her.
"I hear that you are heading to Brook Village,"
"Yeah, I'm somehow excited since we have never been out of the castle area."
"I wanted to tag along, but there are some cases of rampant appearance of monsters in a neighboring kingdom and they asked for help, so I need to go. Anyway, what did you need?" Ein asked.
"I wanted to ask you something.. You do have a superior spirit, right?"
"Yes, yes I have.
"Has your spirit sensed the presence of a great spirit?"
"Yes we have. By the way, let us introduce our spirits to one another, shall we?"
Next to the two girls, appeared their spirits.
"Greetings, I am Peria, a Superior level spirit and the greater elf spirit. It is a pleasure to meet a fellow Superior spirit." The female elf next to Ein said.
"It is a pleasure indeed. I am Adoffina, the Superior blood spirit and greater Vampire spirit." The male Dracula looking spirit said.
"Now, back to the matter at hand, I shall first explain to you Emilia about the grades of the spirits. It starts from the lowly spirits, mana spirits, celestial animal spirits, superior spirits, great spirits then the divine spirits. The great spirits are very, very powerful, so if we have truly sensed one, then that is a point for concern." Peria said.
"Indeed. We are already known as guardian spirits of our races, but great spirits are on another level.. What has possibly brought such a powerful spirit out here?" Adoffina wondered.
"The presence has even disappeared." Ein said. "This means..."
"That is has a contract with someone.." Emilia said.
"There is no point in discussing this now, we shall investigate, but since you are going out, you might meet the person with the spirit. At close range, Adoffina will be able to sense it, so do not do anything rash." Peria said.
"Also, Mark might do stupid things, given how his personality is, Liz too, so be ready to intercept at any time during the training." Ein said.
"Yeah, I will try to control things if we slip up and get ambushed by monsters or something." Emilia said as she stood up.
"Well, let me go prepare myself for the adventure!" Emilia said as the two spirits vanished.
"I wish you all the best, may the gods protect you."
THE REALM OF MISERY,
MEETING POINT OF ALL HIGH DEMONS
The demon Allon, sat on his throne, Dimaz following behind. His face was pale and his eyes looked blank.
"I see you have brought one of the top gods here," One voice boomed.
"Yes indeed, everything is now ready."
"The summoned are going to the Brook village." Another voice said.
"Very well, now, all that is left is the army of demons that will be behind this pawn that I am now controlling.. Dimav? Dimal? Oh yes, Dimaz. After that, the attack shall commence," Allon said as he laughed hysterically.
"You shall soon be fed with powerful souls, my boy," Allon said, patting the sword on his side like a child.
"I can't wait to spill blood for you, master," He added, bowing towards a larger throne.
"Good. I look forward to that, Allon" A voice from the throne boomed.
