Chapter 54
Korin's pov
Looking at her through my [Godview], which is a Skill that the deities can use to see the mortal world, I feel hopeful. She has the potential to fight against the {Miasma}, and become a pillar of Sydocia.
"She has so much potential" I told the woman in front of me, Ilova. She has noticed my growing interest in a human, and has finally decided to ask.
"You told me that before, but what makes her have so much potential?" She asked me again, and I know that she is getting frustrated with my none answers.
'Such a sad thing. Goddess of Light she might be, but she cannot see.'
"Have you looked at the water." I hinted at her, hoping to teach her.
We deities have our restrictions, and one of mine is Teaching. If I believe I can teach someone something, I cannot give them the answer they seek. Instead, I will be compelled to hint at it, to teach them to search for it themselves.
Ilova looked at the water in front of the girl in the image. Nina, a genius that learned how to control water at Tier-1, and something even more impressive, creator of [Waters of Lyr].
"Why...Is that Lyr?" She asked me, and I smiled at her proudly, which made her roll her eyes in frustration.
"Correct, it is something she created. It is called [Waters of Lyr], and it can make someone immune to {Miasma} for a day when ingested, and if someone bathes in it, they will be purified. As long as they are not complete transformed, and corrupted."
"T-that is amazing! This will be an incredible boon in the fight against the {Miasma}." Ilova said with cheer and the same hopeful tone I have now.
I can understand what she is feeling. Before the creation of [Waters of Lyr], we were losing the war. The {Black Fog} has overtaken more than 95% of the world, and only certain places that are blessed by us are safe, but only for a time.
Before we could discuss Nina more, we both gained a notification of the System.
| World Announcement! Congratulations to Grand Duchess Kali Lustveil! She killed a Corrupter and became a [Heroine of Sydocia]! |
"W-what?!" Ilova cried out in surprise, and it was shared with me.
'A Corrupter was killed!'
Those things are unkillable, even to us. They can heal from anything, and even if we destroy the body completely, they still regenerate after a while. In the fight against the {Miasma}, one of the strongest setbacks are these Corrupters. They can Corrupt even Tier-3 beings in minutes, and have been a bane on Sydocia.
"A [Heroine of Sydocia]." I mumbled, and then broke out in laughter,"Finally! We have a Heroine."
'With a Heroine, we can start the cleaning process of Sydocia, since Heroines are unique in their power of rejection. They can reject anything that is foreign to our world! Something we cannot do.'
"Why can I not sense her?" Ilova said when she looked through her own [Godview], and it made me look her up too.
'Did she die? No, that would still show her.'
"This is strange, I cannot find her either." I answered her, and then I remember Nina. She told me about her girlfriend, who was named Kali.
"One second, I might be able to get an answer." I told her, and then used my power to ask for Nina's mind.
Nina's pov
Just before the World Announcement.
A ball of water is hovering above the water, and I am trying to change the shape of it.
I have gotten much better at this water control lately, and can now already do this, but to change the shape is hard, since several factors are fighting me.
My ball of water dropped in the bath when I got distracted and shocked by a notification.
| World Announcement! Congratulations to Grand Duchess Kali Lustveil! She killed a Corrupter and became a [Heroine of Sydocia]! |
'She left just a couple of hours ago?!'
"Lustveil, really! Now Draka will really think that she is a Lust Demon." I laugh when I saw her Noble Name.
Before I could laugh and think about this some more, I felt Korin's presence asking for me, so I accepted the call.
I appear in a library, in front of Korin, and a gorgeous woman. She has white hair, with pale skin that looks slightly luminous, and pretty blue eyes. She is also wearing white transparent robes, that hide nothing to me.
'Fuck, she is hot.'
"Good Evening, Nina." Korin greeted me, and I remember that she is a goddess, and I am ogling her.
"H-hello, Korin." I said and thought of the woman in front of me,"And nice to meet you, Ilova." I said when looking at her, since I guessed her name.
"Hello, Nina. Nice to meet you too. I have heard a lot of good things about you from Korin." Ilova told me, which made me smile.
"Sorry for calling you here when you were busy, but we wanted to ask you something." Korin told me, and I knew what he wanted to know.
"That Kali Lustveil is most likely my girlfriend, so ask away." I said with a fond smile, knowing that Kali had no idea that even the gods are interested in her now.
"I thought so. Did she discuss how she was going to kill a Corrupter?" Korin asked me.
"No, she did not. Annika told me that some big ball of corruption was being sent to a cave, which has a Brola Bear in it." I told them, and also explained what I knew about the Brola Bear, and the {Corrupted}'s plan with the bear.
"This is concerning. Brockal should have noticed if one of his Brola Bears was being corrupted." Ilova said, and I looked into my knowledge for that name.
Brockal is the God of Earth, and is also the creator of a lot of different magic beasts that can use Earth Magic, like the Brola Bear. He is also known to not like Humanoids, and liking animals.
"Brockal should have known, unless the cave was hidden using the {Black Fog}, since we cannot sense anything inside it. But Nina here told us, it was not inside the {Black Fog}." Korin said, and looked at me.
"We will investigate this as soon as possible, but your plan to use [Waters of Lyr] to help the Brola Bear will help us buy time. Also thank you for reporting this to us." Korin said in a grateful manner.
"No thanks needed." I told him.
"But this is something else, and we would like to know more about Kali. Do you know why we cannot find her?" Ilove asked, and it made me surprised, since that means that her Skill [Veil of Space] is even better than I thought.
"She is very stealthy, and has an Affinity for Space." I said. Telling them her Affinity should be okay, but her Skills are private, and I will not tell them about them.
"SPACE!" Ilova said in surprise, and I can also see that it shocked Korin too.
"That...I see" Korin mumbled, and I could barely hear him.
Ilove looked at him in question, and Korin answered her unspoken question,"They are not from Sydocia, so she could have that Affinity."
"What do you mean with that?" Ilova asked him with a grave voice, and it reminded me a little of when I met Korin.
'Does she also mistrust us, like Korin did? If so, Korin should be able to eleviate her concerns.'
Korin explained what I told him when we met, and explained their reaction,"800 Years ago, Space Affinity was extremely rare, but there were still people with it. But 700 years ago, we noticed that nobody was born with Space Affinity in a long time, and even Animals that had the Affinity went extinct. We searched for someone that had the Affinity, and found a old dark elf that had it. He told us that Sydocia is losing its Spacial Mana for some reason. 120 years ago that person died, and he was the last to have the Space Affinity."
I was surprised, since I did not expect for Kali to be the only one with the Affinity of Space on the whole planet.
"I would love to meet her, and discuss some things. Space Affinity is very useful, and I would also like to ask her how she killed a Corrupter, and for her help with our fight against the {Miasma}." Korin told me, and then asked me if I had any questions.
'Now that I have him, I will ask as much as I can.'
Kali's pov
'It was level 100! Which means Tier-3, but it was so weak.'
That thing was more important than I thought if I gained a Noble Rank increase from it, and even gained a title that sounds important like [Heroine of Sydocia].
'I cannot believe that I reached level 50 already from killing a repulsive ball. Is there a place where they grow, I can reach level 100 at a fast pace.'
While I was looking at everything, I started feeling hot, like I was burning up.
I look down at my body and see my skin glowing purple, and I could feel what it was.
'Why is my body filled by Space?!'
I never sensed Space like this, but I knew what it was. Spacial energy, and a lot of it. It also feels more like the time I almost evolved my [Magic Affinity: Space], or when I use [Mystery Movement], but much more powerful.
[Primal Instinct] told me to get to a safe location, and the first thing I thought of was home. I ran full speed towards home, and it took me almost no time to reach it, which surprised me, but I did not have time to care.
Walking inside, Annika got spooked,"Kali, What happened?!" she asked when she noticed me glow, and I did not have time to explain, so I shot my Notifications to her. I ran towards the corner close to the bed, and in the back of the cave.
Maybe because I felt safe here, but the moment I was in the corner, my vision bled purple, and I was unconscious.
3rd pov
Kali's body started glowing dark purple, and she floated slowly above the ground. The moment she was 10 meters above ground, the glow became a massive orb around her, trapping her inside of it. The walls that the massive orb touched became nothingness.
She became a massive orb of about 10 meters, and perfectly round. The glow started becoming less and less, until the Orb was just a dark purple with a solid looking surface.
Inside the Orb, Kali's body was slowly dissolving, until it became one with the Orb.
Her Mind did not. Instead, her Mind was cast adrift through space.
She saw visions of Sydocia, different Worlds, and {Miasma}.
She saw countless Worlds fighting against the {Miasma}, just like Sydocia. She could feel a presence around all these worlds, The System.
She saw a different Dimension, where a planet is being attacked by something that looks like Space, but not the one she knew, this was Alive. It feels repulsive to her, nothing like Space, which is comforting.
On the Planet, she saw Humans fighting against monsters coming from rifts in space. These Humans would have several different abilities, and used it to fight against the repulsive space entity.
Of the people fighting, the one she focused on most was a divine beauty with ruby red hair. She had several small orbs around her that would help her allies, and shoot through the monsters at high speeds, like bullets.
The planet reminded her of earth, but it obviously was not.
Before she could watch more, she was pulled away.
She was floating, and could feel Space around her. Hugging her.
'This feels just like grandma's hugs.'
kuraitja So, Kali will be inside that Massive orb for a while, and I the nest few Chapters will involve Nina, Annika, and Draka.
