He found himself back in that room, and the same angel-like woman who had introduced herself to him last time as the personification of the magic of this place said to him: “Welcome back Priest, now you can not only teleport here at will, but you can also tap into the energy of this place.
Only the Creator could grant you this honor, I’m sure you will make good use of this energy.”
Miguel then asked to the personification of magic: “Isn’t it dangerous for you if I use this energy, don’t I risk contaminating you with impure energy if I ever draw on it…”
After all Miguel was not a saint, and during this battle he would have to kill many Titans and demons.
It was a necessary sin to protect the people he loved, and to protect the innocents that Diana and Lilith’s madness had put in danger.
The personification of magic then said to him: “Don’t worry Priest, as long as your intentions are good and justified by the situation, and that you don’t use this energy for personal gain, then the Cradle of Magic will not be contaminated.
I have been watching you and your husband for a long time and I know that you are not interested in personal gain.
You could have ruled this universe with the help of the Warrior Spirits a long time ago, but you have always been content to protect the innocent and have never abused your powers.
I have complete confidence in you, and I’m truly sorry that such a burden after all this time still has to weigh on your shoulders.
But the new generation is not yet ready to take over, they still need you to guide them.”
Miguel then bowed to the personification of magic and he humbly said: “It is an honor and a true privilege to have access to this place.
And you shouldn’t be worried about us, Elias and I are used to it, we have met in times of war, we have fought together so many times…
We have been apart after I died, and then found each other again after my resurection.
We have also experienced moments of peace together…
But you know what, we are both warlords first and foremost, and we do not wish to burden the new generation with the task of maintaining peace in our universe.
And honestly, my husband is so stubborn that he will never be able to quit.
This has always been our task and with the Warrior Spirits we will continue to protect the innocent…
And I will protect this place, no matter what it takes, you have my word.”
The woman then smiled at him and as Miguel felt himself being sucked out of the Cradle of Magic, he heard the woman’s voice echoing in his head, ‘Don’t forget Priest, you and your husband must combine your powers and aim for the pentagrams to destroy the scepters, you are our only hope.’
Miguel was teleported back to the prison dimension and Elias looked furious… Oops, he had forgotten to warn him that he wanted to check that he could teleport into the Cradle of Magic… Where communication didn’t work…
Suddenly he heard his voice in his head, as furious as he had imagined, ‘My love, how many times do I have to tell you not to disappear like that without me being able to contact you.
You’re so damn lucky that we still have things to settle here.
I’ll wait until we are head to head to make you lose the desire to disappear once and for all.’
Miguel swallowed nervously, he did not know if he should fear the wrath of his husband or if he should feel excited… Because he knew very well how it would end, and fortunately for him his capacity of regeneration and his endurance could cope with the insatiable appetite of his dear and ‘tender’ husband.
A golden glow began to shine in Elias’ eyes and to divert his attention Miguel said to everyone, making a shirt appear and putting it on immediately: “Thanks to this pentagram I can now teleport directly to the heart of the Cradle of Magic.
So we can destroy the scepters as soon as the opportunity arises, which makes our job much easier than before.
And there’s something else too… The Creator has also given me permission to tap directly into the energy of the Cradle of Magic.”
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, everything had gone well and the gains they had made from that conversation with the Creator were incredible.
Just to imagine that Miguel, who was already the most powerful Mage in the universe, is now able to use the unlimited energy of the Cradle of Magic is something nobody could have predicted.
Glen then asked him curiously: “Miguel, your reserve of Soul force was already unlimited, so does it make any difference if you can use that energy or not?”
Miguel smiled at him and explained to everyone: “The energy of the Cradle of Magic is the essence of the spiritual and divine energy, and it is also the reason why the chakra reserves exist.
In addition, this pentagram has given me the knowledge to use all the sources of magic in our universe, even the one I had never managed to master.”
Miguel then opened his palm and a bright white ball appeared above it.
Elias’s eyes widened when he recognized this energy because he knew that Miguel had really tried to master this technique but never succeeded, and so he stammered: “The purifying light of the Angels…”
Miguel’s smile widened and he said to him: “Yes, my dear husband, that’s right, I can finally use the purifiying light of the Angels.”
Kevin who had still his Stage 2 activated then focus on this bright white ball and he used his observation skill.
[Combination of different elements, spell level 10: Purifying Light, need 50,000 Soul force points to activate the observation skill, your Soul force reserve is insufficient to copy this spell]
