Chapter 496: Another world
The Sacred Bird Kuwatoro appeared in front of Allen.
"Oh, Sacred Bird Kuwatoro, are you coming to the divine realm too? We'd appreciate it if you could lead us to the Village of Primordial Beasts then."
Allen felt like the Sacred Bird Kuwatoro had been waiting for him to open the door.
So he decided to ask if the Sacred Bird would take to Garm's Village of Primordial Beasts, where many Sacred Beasts lived.
'No, Allen. I've been watching your efforts, and how you even bargained with the Gods to lead your men forward. You have the worth I was looking for.'
"Hm? Worth?"
'Yes, as we agreed, I've come to become your Sacred Beast. Bring out the item you showed me before, and hold it towards me.'
Everyone was confused, but Allen had no complaints if he would get a new summon so he brought out the Sacred Beast Stone.
"So like this?"
'Yes. Also please refer to me as Kuwatoro from now on. I'll become your eyes and travel alongside you.'
The Sacred Bird Kuwatoro entered the Sacred Beast Stone, and soon enough the Grimoire showed something.
'Bird S has been unsealed. You can now summon Bird S.'
"Ohh I finally got the Bird S summon!"
"Yayyy!"
Kurena celebrated with him.
(A new summon on top of a new area. I'm so excited I'm almost shaking.)
Allen could not stop thinking about it.
"Alright, let's go to the divine realm then!!"
Kiel also wanted to get there. They all hurried to gather in front of the gate, and there Luck noticed some weight off his shoulder. Fabre had jumped off.
"Hm? What happened?"
Luck asked Fabre, who was on the floor looking away.
'Luck, I can't allow myself to enter the divine realm.'
Fabre turned around, looking sadly at Luck.
'Spirit King...'
Mouton seemed to notice something.
'I've already corrupted the future of dark elves once. I'll stay here, so you can go and watch over dark elves for me, Mouton.'
'Hm?'
'I'm sure the Great Spirit God will make you a Spirit King. Please watch over Luck too.'
She also would step down from being a Spirit King. She had already made the arrangements with the Great Spirit God of the Spirit Paradise to have Mouton take her place.
(I guess that's her way to take responsibility.)
She had decided she would do that while they went through the Gates of Trials.
There were many elves and dark elves in Allen's Army, and they all watched silently, letting Luck decide what to do. He was the prince of Fabraze after all.
He went up to Fabre, who looked like a black weasel, and firmly picked her up by the scruff.
If she concentrated her sight, she could somehow see the Dragon King's state.
'Hmm, that reminds me, I heard my beloved horse also is on the move. I guess a lot is happening.'
The head seemed to remember his horse as well.
'Yes, Pharnemes is also on the move now.'
When the woman and Axilion finished talking, a demon entered the room.
"The Dark Knight Iruze has returned and requests an audition."
'Ohh I see, so my knight is back.'
"Dark Knight Iruze, go in and report to the God of Darkness."
The woman was the God of Darkness that ruled over the Dark World.
Receiving permission, the demon let the Dark Knight Iruze enter.
The Dark Knight Iruze wore full armor and walked straight to kneel in front of the throne.
'So how's the distortion going?'
"I'll report right away! We've been creating more distortions in space since yesterday, now they're numerous and some can be created right next to cities!!"
'Oh, looks like your research is going smoothly. Have you found a hole yet?'
The God of Darkness seemed really interested by that.
"No, they're just distortions. So far we haven't found anything that came out of them. Though there have been demons that went missing near distortions..."
All of Iruze was hidden under armor, but there was plenty of anger in the report.
'...So you only want me to send those with little value then, is that it?'
The woman understood what was going on from that report.
She slowly stood up and raised her hand, which was soon enveloped in darkness all the way to the wrist.
"..."
Even through the armor it was clear that Iruze was shaking.
'...There's still a lot left to research. Desperado's barrier is really well made.'
'Oh, so the barrier hasn't been broken yet?'
Only Axilion remained calm in the presence of the God of Darkness.
She looked at Iruze again.
'Now, my cute knight. Tell me again if anything happens.'
"Yes! God of Darkness Amante!!"
Iruze bowed deeply before leaving the throne room.
Once Iruze was gone, the God of Darkness looked at the distance again.
It seemed like Allen noticed her gaze, as he looked right back at the light.
She stood up thinking of something, before breaking into laughter which shook her entire body.
'I see, so things are finally moving again. It seems like something fun is about to begin. Does everyone have their tickets? It's time to spread chaos!!'
The God of Darkness shouted loudly inside the castle, her face contorting with madness.
While Allen headed to the divine realm, the rest of the world was moving too.
