THE OLD MAN AT THE FOOT OF HEAVEN
THE OLD MAN AT THE FOOT OF HEAVEN
"Cakra magic utilizes the magic in the Mages bones. It is far superior to the magic that you cast from your magical heart", Hanuman told me.
"I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?" I asked him.
"Humans in this world accumulate magic in their heart, bones, blood, soul and mind. The templars in the Ten-Kingdoms cast their magic from the magic in their magical heart while the Mages of Prolis uses the magic from their bones, or Cakra", Hanuman told me.
"Do I have the magic of Cakra now?" I asked Hanuman.
"No, at least not yet. Templars who awakened the magic in their heart usually do not awaken their Cakra, although you awakened a Bone realm which only those with Cakra can. You may be able to awaken a Cakra in the future", Hanuman explained to me.
"What is the use of my Bone realm magic?" I asked him.
"Without the awakening of Cakra, the best that you can do with your bone magic is to use it to empower the magic of your heart, your Templar magic", he said to me.
"Can you help me improve my bone magic?" I asked him.
"You already know how to empower your templar magic using the magic of your bones. There is nothing more that I can teach you", He told me.
"What about my soul magic?" I asked him.
Hanuman put on his reading glass again and scanned the magic of my soul. Suddenly, he jumped up in shock by what he discovered.
"Why is the soul of the Dark Angel in your soul realm?" Hanuman asked me in shock and surprise.
"It is a long story but at the end of it, the nascent soul of the Dark Angel took over my soul realm and neutralized my soul magic. I was wondering if I could recover my soul magic after the Dark angel leaves my soul", I told him.
"The Dark Angel leaving your soul? That will not be possible. The Dark Angel will not leave until he consumes your soul and you become a part of him", Hanuman told me to my horror.
"I thought once the Dark Angel is resurrected, he would leave me", I said to him.
"That is not how the Dark Angel will be resurrected. He must consume the soul of his Incarnate as the last act before his resurrection", Hanuman told me.
"Damnit, is there a way for me to kick out the Dark Angel now? I don't want to lose my consciousness and my soul to the Dark Angel," I asked Hanuman worriedly.
Hanuman thought about my situation before he had a thought.
"The only way that you can preserve your independent mind is to ascend as the Dark Angel without the souls of the previous Dark Angels. You must confine the souls of the previous Dark Angels before you", Hanuman told me.
"How do I do that? Can you help me?" I asked him.
"I cannot help you with that. There is only one divine body who can do that for you", he said to me.
"Who is that?" I asked him.
"The old man at the foot of Heaven", Hanuman told me.
"How do I find this old man at the foot of Heaven?" I asked him.
"You do not find him. He will find you if you are fated to meet him", Hanuman told me.
Suddenly, Meera rushed to me with a book.
"See what I found. This is the last prophecy of the Revelations that predicted your ascension as the Dark Angel of Eden", Meera told me as she showed me the book.
In the page that she showed me, there was the illustration of the Dark Angel ascending to Heaven. There was some cryptic writing beneath the drawing.
"What does the writings there say?" I asked Meera.
"I don't understand the language of this writing", Meera replied to me.
"Of course you don't know. It is the language of Prolis", Hanuman said to her when she jumped in surprise at the talking monkey.
"Hanuman?" Meera asked.
"What does the writing say?" I asked Hanuman again.
"The Incarnate sacrifices his soul to resurrect the Dark Angel before his ascension to Heaven", Hanuman said to me as he read from the book.
"I'll be damned", I said to them.
I realized now what my fate in the Revelations was. I was meant as a sacrifice to enable the Dark Angel's resurrection.
"Damn", I complained to myself again.
"Don't worry master. Your soul will join the souls of the Dark Angel and become Divine, just like my sisters' souls remain with me after their sacrifices. You will not perish after your sacrifice", Meera said to me.
Meera was the last of my Succubi.
Initially, I had more than a thousand Succubi but they all sacrificed their lives for me and their religion. But even in their deaths, their souls returned to Meera to be with joined with hers.
According to her logic, at the end of the Revelations, my soul would be merged with the souls of the previous Dark Angels and would not disappear entirely.
But that merger was something that I could not agree with.
"Don't be too troubled about the prophecies. They are not an absolute certainty", Hanuman told me before he jumped over a mound of books and disappeared without saying farewell.
"Hanuman?" I asked the Ayen god to stay and chat a little more, but he was gone.
We were done with our book scanning, so it was time to leave the library. Conjurer Iras came into the library to check on me and the library before I left.
"What happened here? Did you reorganize our library and clean the mess here?" Iras asked me in surprise.
As Asterix and her assistants scanned the books in the library, they also returned the books to their correct shelves.
"Yeah, there is not a book in this library that interests me, so I did my civic duty and cleaned up the mess in the library while I am here", I replied to him.
"You are amazing. I will need to arrange another reward for you", Iras said to me.
