Eveth is standing in front of us and opens up the portal back to Orion for us, she looks at both of us with hope written all over her face. She presses her hands together while closing her eyes while the rest of them are just staring at her.
"May the Betelgeuse lead your path to the place you are looking for, be safe and take my blessing."

Ignores the Weather's and Place's debuff status, reduces Stamina consumption by 10%, increases healing and recovery by 10%. The [Saintess Blessing] buff will expire in: 7 Days or until you die]
Ivonna and I are looking at each other and then enter the portal after we say goodbye to all of them. We are back at the Temple of Gloom, Ivonna looks at me while holding my hand, I look at her while raising my eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
Ivonna looks at my hand.
"I saw it, the monster that they fought. I heard everything from them, and I think you also heard about it from her, right? About their power and the fact that heroes can die even though they're already inside the Land of Sigrid. Are we really going to be able to help them? I mean, when I saw that monster, I was shocked that I felt scared of what kind of things or beings that wandering around the Land of Sigrid or even the fact about those things and where they came from."
I hold her hand gently and pull it toward my chest.
"Don't worry, they're fine because they're chosen to handle those things. We are inside a game, Ivy, they won't be dead because I believe our time to help them is still far away but it's good to know that we are going to fight against those things far in the future. Let's just focus on what's ahead of us and think about it when we are done, okay?"
Ivonna looks at me and chuckles softly.
"You're right, this is just a game but this is like our second life, right? We must be prepared for everything that's ahead of us."
I nod in agreement and then Ivonna takes out the piece of paper she was holding earlier.
"Let's decipher the message that Heugron gave me, here take a look."
[A part of me is inside your body, one of the most important parts of my life living inside you. I want you to treasure it because it will give you the power that you might need, a power that will bring light to the people who are in need of your help, a light that shines the dark path you chose, a light that will warm you up when you feel cold. Find my resting place, and it will give you the vessel to make it shine as bright as the star in the sky.]
Ivonna looks at me while pointing at the last sentence of the message.
"His resting place, we need to find that cabin but I don't have any lead on where it's at and the only thing that I remember is his house and the terrain that's surrounding his house. I don't think I will be able to find it even if I explore the Orion for a whole year of in-game time."
I cross my arms while lowering my shoulders.
"You don't have to, you just need to find the right place and find out about Heugron. We are talking about places that exist long before the dark age or the place that have the history of the dark age, places that we have been gone to."
Ivonna is looking at the paper and furrowing her forehead while thinking.
"The Holy Temple has a room filled with archives about the dark age, right? Should we go there and check it first?"
I just smile and open up the portal to the holy temple, I point my hand at the portal.
"After you."
We both go back to the Holy Temple and immediately go and meet Aria, we ask the priest, and shows us where is she right now. We go to the hall where she's giving a speech to the new priests and priestesses, we are watching her from the distance since we don't want to bother her but then one of the priestesses notices us and immediately whispers into Aria's ear. Aria turns around and smiles at us then excuses herself for a moment to them so we can have a chat with her.
"Master Trevor, Lady Ivonna, what can I help you today?"
Ivonna is walking closer to her and nervously looks at her.
"We need to find any information related to Heugron, do you have anything related to that in the archive room, Saintess Aria?"
Saintess Aria is shaking her head while feeling sorry.
"We do not have that information, we only have knowledge about ancient language and that is all."
Ivonna turns around to look at me while pursing her lips inward but then Aria raises her hand.
"But, I do remember that the late king of the Maryoca Kingdom, Lionel Sephar possessed an artifact that they believe from the ancient time where all those gods were still roaming around the Orion. If I remember it correctly, the artifact is safe in the treasury room and I believe it is still there."
Ivonna looks at Aria with her eyes wide open.
"Thank you for the information, Saintess Aria."
Saintess Aria nods and then excuses herself so she can continue doing what she's doing. Ivonna looks at me while raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms.
"Let's go to the Maryoca Kingdom, we should be able to check the artifact if we got permission from King Gervase to enter the treasury room."
I chuckle and shake my head.
"There's no way he won't let you get in there after everything you did to the Alliance Kingdoms and to him."
Ivonna tilts her head while smirking.
"Who knows, he might forbid anyone to enter the treasury."
We both then use the teleportation device since I don't have a portal to the Maryoca Kingdom. We walk around the kingdom and now we both just realize how famous we both are now thanks to that photos of both of us. Most of them are approaching us and asking unnecessary things while the rest of them are staring at us from the distance. We both don't have the time for this and so I decide to summon Azrael and lift Ivonna and put her in front of me while riding Azrael. Ivonna is looking at me with her mouth open with a surprised expression, I can tell she likes it when I forcefully lift her up.
We are standing in front of the palace's gate and the royal guards are looking at us then bow their heads. They open the gate for us and we both tell them that we want to meet King Gervase, one of the guards is accompanying us into the palace since we still need to get permission to meet him. We are waiting for King Gervase to summon us in the waiting room while the maid is pouring us the tea into our cups.
We are enjoying the tea and then the guards are informing us that King Gervase is on his way here, we both stand up and try to fix our outfits. The door is opening and King Gervase is smiling so widely when he sees both of us, we both are bowing our heads but King Gervase immediately tells us to not lower our heads to anyone in all the kingdoms. King Gervase sits down and raises his eyebrows with excitement and curiosity.
"What is the occasion for our heroes to visit the palace?"
I look at Ivonna and tilt my head toward him, Ivonna nods and looks at King Gervase.
"Your majesty must have heard about the problem that we are having right now, and we believe we found a way to get rid of the demon."
King Gervase's face immediately becomes serious and nods with understanding.
"What do you need, Lady Ivonna?"
Ivonna tells him about her experience during the prayer with Aria, then she tells him about the power she possessed that might be able to defeat Alucard. Ivonna finally tells about the reason why we are here while King Gervase is looking at both of us while thinking.
"Hmm, if that is what you need then you are free to check the treasury, Lady Ivonna, Lord Trevor."
All of us are standing in front of a door that's being guarded by dozens of royal guards from all directions and on every corner while we were walking to this side of the palace. His secretary is unlocking and opening the door for us, we enter the treasury room and the secretary is leading us to the artifact. The secretary stops and stands in front of a case that's covered by red and gold sheets. The secretary looks at King Gervase, he nods and tells us that this is the artifact that we are looking for.
King Gervase slowly pulls the sheets and we all can see the artifact, King Gervase raises his eyebrows with disbelief.
"Wow, unbelievable...."
