Goddess of Light, Lumina.

What's with this weird story. I thought this would be one of those cliched stories. About a fantasy world where there is a hero who hats some overpowered skills or weapons and then using those he takes down the demon lord.

And saves the world. And then he either returns back to his home or makes a living in the world.

Now when I compare to this story. It's kind of weird.

Sure there is magic as well as different races. But these races are nowhere to be seen. The best that Jay and McElroy have seen is the elves who have been banished.

And demons tons and tons of demons.

There is a demon Lord as well. But I think I've should put it past the time I should comment about how different they are.

Jay and McElroy both exit the healers camp after gearing up once more.

Their armors were unusable now. Thus they have now run out of armors meaning each strike from the enemy will be hurtful. And if we're lucky maybe non lethal.

The spear was still going on strong with its durability didn't even drop off one bit when I checked. And when I held it in my hand it felt like the spear told me it needs more blood.

I had a feeling that it had an ego of it's own. While Gunthers barrel had been damaged. Due to the repeated firing of bullets. That Gunther which did have an ego produced.

When I grabbed Gunther once out of Mcelroy's hands.

It started barking insults at me. It's barks we're at the speed of the assault rifle. Hurling 30 insults per clip.

Mcelroy removed the steel barrel which mimicked the format of a revolver on storing of bullets.

McElroy :

Jay mimic this exact same barrel.

And I tried to create and exact 1:1 replica of the barrel and due to high proficiency on metal bending it was looking a lot smoother and much more polished.

McElroy took the barrel and fitted it nicely into the slot.

And asked Gunter to refill it with bullets.

The barrel started moving and was soon filled with bullets.

McElroy :

In terms of our plans I just have one thing to say.

We need to get stronger as soon as possible and by a lot.

So for the time being going back to the island without preparation. Would be a death sentence but now we have an exact measure of Ikaros's strength.

Jay :

So you mean to say Get Good.

McElroy :

Yeah basically that.

Jay and McElroy both took a deep breath and both picked up the end of a curtain.

At to their surprise they were blinded by a shimmering shining light. This light was coming from the mansion as the entire mansion lit up from inside out.

Jay and McElroy rushed towards the mansion and they arrived there within seconds.

Their injuries had been healed without the involvement of potions. They felt fully renewed. And they could function at full. Power.

At the mansion when they arrived. Something had happened to Nora. Her eyes glowed with copious amounts of bright light. Her skin could be seen either as regaining their natural color or they could be becoming filled with more light which was the combination of all the colour's of the spectrum.

While before her all of the others bowed.

The saintess of the Order of the Round table now hosted a God inside her body.

Possibly Luminos.

But this fact conflicted both of them. Because when Sein battled with Ikaros he blurted out something that would shake their entire faith.

That Luminos is Dead.

While the others included Livia, Lloyd and the guards had bowed to keep their heads on their body. Jay and McElroy did not do so.

Their kept their head held high. As they saw the purest vessel. Being housed with a god.

Livia :

Both of you bow down now..

But they ignored. Because their eyes were fixated on the purest vessel as her eyes were fixated on us.

The purest vessel which housed a god was ascertaining something.

And finally she spoke.

Vessel :

Apostles of the God of Chaos and the Goddess of the Seas.

It is an honor to be graced with your presence on this battlefield as well.

The ones who were already bowed were shocked upon the following revelation.

But Jay and McElroy tried to deny the claims. But thought it wouldn't be good to do so. Since this could be seen as stealing power from the gods themselves as was the case earlier.

Vessel :

It seems youre power has become quite weak. I could only feel a faint presence of power from you.

The next words could either make it or break it. The words that I utter have to be weighed very carefully.

Jay :

Both of us fought Ikaros but something happened and we felt our powers fade away. Something even we ourselves don't understand.

Vessel :

I understand, this is also what happened to my father.

He lost his powers in the middle of the battle.

Your words add up.

But there is something that I don't understand. I've never seen your faces anywhere when I met Lord Kaos and The Goddess.

Another spin ball thrown from another direction. And it was

almost about to hit the stumps.

McElroy :

Were new apostles. We've been recently chosen to be servants of Our respective Gods.

And by their order we came down here to assist the humans in bringing down Ikaros.

The God inside the purest vessel was beginning to be skeptical of their statements.

Vessel :

You didn't bring the army of the heavens.

McElroy :

If possible we wanted to settle this by ourselves without decreasing our forces.

The vessel became more skeptical. But decided to believe them. As their situation had already became dire.

Their words had hit on the right mark all the sentenced uttered by the both of them were absolutely correct sounding.

But the execution was somewhat left lacking. Because there it seemed like there was a bit of doubt and a subtle lack of confidence in their words cause the vessel that hosted a god to be skeptical of their words.

Vessel :

Very well I Lumina the Goddess of Light who has enshrined herself in this body will grant you some of my power.

Show me your wrists.

Lumina talked about herself in a weird third party as well as first party format.

I showed the jewel that had granted my metal bending powers. But it seemed that the jewel had combined itself with my wrists and there were red veins that could be seen reaching throughout my arm.

Same with Mcelroy's arm. While red veins ran through my arm. Blue veins ran through his arms.

At the start when we gained the jewel it merely stayed on the surface but now it has made itself an inseparable part of the body.

When Lumina saw their arms. She was surprised even more and again her doubt increased.

Lumina :

New apostles who are indicated don't have their jewels dug so deep into them. Meaning only one thing.

Your every word while being the truth was mixed with a lie.

Lumina was a very insightful god. She could catch the facts from a single glance at a piece of evidence.

Lumina :

You've done something you mortals should have never done.

Stealing power from a God. And it seems that you've been using that power for a long time.

Lumina :

Make no mistake my Eyes of Truth see through everything.
