"REMEMBER,"
Mitsuki opened his eyes slowly.
"You're finally awake, my legs were getting tired," Miyuki said. That's when Mitsuki realized that his head was on Miyuki's lap. He sat up upright and looked at his sorroundings. They were still in the pitch black place.
"Did we scare her too much?" Mitsuki asked as he sighed, remembering how Ein was shaking.
"I don't think so... I mean, for you to get angry in such a way, she definitely did something that deserved it."
"Anyway, I will need to talk to her later," Mitsuki said as he stood up.
"Now, you were regressed right? Why?"
Mitsuki looked at his hands. They were completely red and his body was in alot of pain.
"The forbidden series... The lower the number of the act, the more powerful it is.." Aquourus said as she appeared in front of them.
"You would have died, Mitsuki.. I was the one who prevented your life force from being absorbed by infusing almost all my mana with you."
"And I do thank you for that, Aquourus.. But, it was definitely worth it," Mitsuki said as he smiled.
[The 20th Act: Eternal Bonds ]
[The act has an eternal effect; An everlasting bond between soul and body. This will make the Soul immune to all Soul manipulation attacks, and the Soul shall never leave its body. As such, It grants partial immortality, ensuring survival at all costs]
[Due to using such a strong forbidden act, Your mana, cursed energy, and spirit energy was completely drained. Levels were also consumed as sacrifice in order to substitute the lack of energy. The mana stored on the ring was also fully consumed.]
"So that's why I still feel drowsy... As I regenerate mana and cursed energy, the ring is continuously absoring it." Mitsuki said.
"I have appeared here to tell you that I am nullifying our contract now, the fight is over, and due to what you did, I'm completely out of mana and spirit energy. I will need to replenish all of it for several months." Aquourus said as she started vanishing.
"Okay, thank you for all you have done for me at this short time we have been contracted." Mitsuki said. Aquourus looked at the two, who were smiling at her.
"You two, I shall only ask you this: You are on our side, right?"
"Of course we are, why do you ask so?" Mitsuki asked as he and Aquourus stared at each other. Their gazes conveyed words that only they both understood.
"Very well then, we shall meet again some time, take care of yourselves." Aquourus said as she vanished. She appeared in Aqua's realm, on top of a tall mountain.
"There was a point where I could neither talk nor see him..I couldn't sense my sorroundings, neither could I telepathically speak to Aqua.. It was as if, we were in some sort of separated Realm. Plus, Where were we right now?"
Instincts were telling Aquourus, that those two Siblings were bad news when they were together, they both had some different atmosphere, that drove fear into people's minds and souls, especially Miyuki.
"That gaze he gave me... He's telling me to remain quiet about what they did... A forceful revival.. Use of a powerful Forbidden skill.. That will just be discovered anyway, so I guess he wants me to hide the fact that he did encoding.. "
What Mitsuki had done, even though it was done automatically, was something only Aurendor, Realos, Nozark and the Architect of Realms were supposed to be able to do; the use of codes, the basic unit of creation, to create something in the desired way, its name, Originalia; a cluster of complex symbols that are the base of creation.
What he had done specifically, was remake a soul, whose composition had been altered greatly, back into how it was beforehand. The coding happened automatically using his tree of life attribute, to recreate how a soul looks like and to incorporate the specific traits of Emilia into it, which was Miyuki's task. She, using her sword of life, accurately incorporated Emilia's personality, by creating it from scratch. It was a truly awesome feat that the two siblings did. Any mishap could have led to the wrong soul formula creation, leading to failure. This feat, brought out rewards that no one could ever possibly think of:
Abilities that could bring forth destruction.
********
A display suddenly lit up in front of Mitsuki and Miyuki. It looked nothing like their system.
{Order has favored the two of you}
{Your feat has been commended}
{Your Edit skill shall evolve in due time}
{Your Command skill shall evolve in due time}
"Brother... What is this...?" Miyuki asked as her senses sharpened immediately as they both felt a presence around them.
"It seems like we gained unwanted attention." Mitsuki said.
{Brace yourselves, for Order wishes to converse with you.}
**********
Aqua was floating high up in the air, looking around.
"It seems like we truly lost Allon, he escaped huh.." He mumbled. The Poki and Valeria, who were beside him, looked at him with pale faces.
"Um.. Let's head down, Lord Aqua..." Valeria said.
"Please..." Poki added.
"How are you two both afraid of heights?" Aqua asked them.
"This... We can see the curvature of the planet! Why are we even this high up??!" Poki shouted as she held Valeria's hand tightly.
"I mean.. We are looking for Allon, aren't we?" He asked with a calm tone.
"At this rate, you might take us up to space!"
"Oh! Good idea!" Aqua said as they started going higher.
"No! Please!"
"I see you three are as active as ever," Miyuki said as the duo appeared. Immediately the two girls saw her and Mitsuki, they jumped towards them.
"Mitsuki! This meanie wanted to take us to space!" Poki shouted as she passionately hugged him.
"I couldn't sense them coming." Aqua thought as he turned towards them.
"Where did you disappear off to?" Aqua asked.
"I honestly don't remember much," Mitsuki replied.
"So, have you saved Emilia?"
"Yes, we did." Mitsuki replied.
"Damn, I lost track of Allon, it looks like he escaped." Aqua said.
"Um.. Can we go down now? Valeria doesn't is seriously trembling here," Miyuki said. Aqua snapped his fingers, and they were back on the ground.
"Now then, what shall we do about this ruined city?" Valeria asked. They all looked around them, the city was no longer looking like one anymore. It was now in rubbles, only the centermost beam was left, with Aqua's barrier flickering weakly.
"We need to rebuild it... Miyuki, can you do it?" Aqua asked as he looked at her.
"I can try, but my mana..."
"Yeah, I can clearly see both your mana reserves are almost empty, and that Mitsuki's levels even went down. We will need to talk about what happened to the two of you, but firstly, Let's recreate this place first.
"This place is filled with dense amounts of Cursed energy." Mitsuki said.
"Oh? You can tell? It seems like you can now sense cursed energy well, anyway, I'm just going to purify it." Aqua said.
"No, wait." Mitsuki said as he went ahead of them.
"Forbidden series, Act 190: Gluttonous Vortex." He chanted. As he did so, a large multicolored portal like spell circle appeared below them, absorbing all the cursed energy in the area.
"He can now use Forbidden skills?" Aqua wondered as Mitsuki absorbed all the cursed energy in the area.
[You have absorbed concentrated amounts of cursed energy. Your vassal energy will improve drastically.]
"I'm done!" Mitsuki shouted.
"Good, let's do this Miyuki." Aqua said as he placed his hand on Miyuki's shoulder.
[You are being blessed by Aqua, the god of seas.]
[Command skill is active.]
"I hereby command: Return to your former state."
As she did so, she felt Aqua's power flow into her. The rubble started reorganizing itself, clumping together as the city rose around them, returning back to its former original state. Miyuki sighed deeply as she sat down, feeling slightly dizzy after using her ability.
"You did well." Aqua said as he placed his hand on the ground.
"Mitsuki, how many abilities did I just use right now?" Aqua asked in a serious tone.
"Um... Two?"
"Wrong.." Aqua said as he proceeded to lecture Mitsuki on how his analyzing skills were still not good.
"Damn.. Must be rough being you." Miyuki thought as she sneaked away from them.
".... Understood?"
"Y-Yes.." Mitsuki said after the seemingly eternal lesson ended.
"Why do you look tired?"
"YOU SPOKE FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT!"
"Oh? So instead of listening to me you were counting?? I see you need to be taught some manners, but that will happen later." Aqua said.
"Where are we going right now?" Poki asked.
"You and Valeria will head to the Kingdom to open a portal for townspeople to come back. I will go back with Mitsuki and Miyuki, they need to rest." Aqua replied.
"Yes Sir!"
Aqua opened a portal for the girls to pass through after they made the necessary preparations.
"So then, shall we go so that we can rest?" Miyuki said in a teasing tone.
"I know you both know why I want to remain with you... Right?"
Mitsuki smiled a bit.
"Yes we do. You have some questions, is that so?"
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I have a lot of questions."
