It had been several years since any of the god’s heard anything about the spider god. Even the Allfather, Odin, had failed in this regard. The attempts of the one who saw all to find out the whereabouts of the spider god were unfruitful. Even after they had visited the 5th heaven, they didn’t find any information about the god of wisdom. Ananse seemed to have disappeared into thin air. But now they had found something that belonged the spider god. Even more ridiculous was that they weren’t the ones who found her- or rather a trace of her- she found them. The fact that she left something here for them was incredible. It showed her incredible foresight and ability. She was truly a sensor god, and her ‘sight beyond sight’ must have advanced to an unknown realm to let her guess so accurately what was going to happen in the future. She wasn’t a seer, neither was she a div
But even after gathering all these, one couldn’t just dump them on the amber rock and expect to get devilstone. There was a process behind it. It was a mystery as to how Ananse had found all these things out. She really was the smartest person in the entire universe. Anyway, she had stated that they first needed to grind the core into dust, and then pour it into the amber rock. To do this, they had to create seven shallow fissures on the surface of the amber rock, and slowly introduce the powdered core into it. It was an act of great patience. The next step was simpler. They just had to pour a litre of the blood of an origin god upon the rock. It must be poured in such a way that the entire rock will be covered with the blood. During these processes, the amber rock must lay where it is. It mustn’t be unearthed. If it was pried from the ground, one wouldn’t get the devilstone- only a blood covere
Looking at the bent figure of the Vampire Lord, Thor had a serene expression on his face. The initial excitement from gaining the help of Ananse was gone. All that remained in its place was a calm that was as silent as it was tranquil. Just like he thought, they truly requested for the return of their people. He expected this request the moment he read Ananse’s letter in its entirety. The spider god had stated in her letter that the gods of Asgard should do anything in their power to grant the request of the vampires. This was part of her buyout clause. Only by fulfilling all her requests would she continue to help them. And all her requests were centred on the vampires. Thor had begun to speculate about the difficulty of their request when he saw that Ananse had stated that they should do ‘everything in their power’. This didn’t only mean that the wise god was aware of the desire of the g
“Remember this though, if you promise to pledge yourself to the young master, Hela will help you.” Forseti assured them when he noticed their anxious looks. You would know how important this was to them once you observed Alucard. Even the carefree blood prince had the same look of anxiety on his face. It showed just how much this meant to them.The eyes of the four lit up at the same time. If previously they looked like men forced to wander a desert for many days without any water, they now looked like they had come across an oasis and were eager for a drink of the lifesaving resource.“We pledge our loyalty to the one who remains hidden” Dracula promised, his voice filled with the unwavering spirit of one determined to do
“Ha ha ha”Mane panted laboriously as he struggled to catch his breath. His small frame was coated heavily with sweat, with his clothes sticking adamantly to his fair skin. Before him was a dummy that was dented in many areas. Along with the dents were small traces of dried up blood. He was currently training. It had been a month since he recovered. That would make it a month since he began his training- body wielding training. His ragged breaths showed how intense his training was. And his tired eyes spoke volumes of the stress it took on his body. Yet when one looked into those tired eyes there was no look of concession, only the burning will to train harder.“It is not enough.” He muttered. Due to his ragged breathing his sentence was produced in fragments, and it wasn’t as fluid as it normally would be.“Again.” From his mind space the booming voice of the 5th filled his head. He could feel his ears ringing, almost a
“He is actually able to use outer energy.” He mumbled silently. Ray was stunned by what he was seeing. Typically, body wielders trained for a relatively long time before being able to manipulate edict. The fastest he had heard someone gained access to outer energy was after three months of training. Mane had been training for only 1! And although he could only maintain this state for ten seconds, and couldn’t necessarily use it in combat, it was only a matter of time before that weakness was overcome.As for why he couldn’t use it in combat, it was simply because no one will wait for him to prepare himself so comfortably before attacking. Since Mane was now learning the ropes, he wasn’t used to entering this state on a whim. He would grow more talented in it in the weeks to come. That much Ray was certain of.“Good. Again.” The 4th didn’t say much. But his commands were conveyed, and his praise was flattering. Mane nodded
After delivering the kick, Mane flipped mid-air and landed stably. He kept his body crouched and poised for an attack. But unlike before, he didn’t make the first move. He patiently watched his father like an eagle stalking its prey. But this time, it wasn’t going to play out as it always did. For his father was no prey; dude was a hunter.*Boom*The ground beneath Ray exploded as the full power of a mortal realm expert burst out from within him. Just like the outburst of outer energy that body wielders were so adept at, the outburst of inner energy was also explosive. However, unlike outer energy, inner energy manifested in a strange glow that covered the body. As could be seen on Ray currently, the green glow that covered his entire frame was born from inner energy. Outer energy made no such manifestations. It was rare to see this g
“So Dad, how did you do it? I was certain that I struck you.” It had been over an hour since Mane lost consciousness. He woke up about ten minutes after he passed out and immediately began to meditate. After swallowing some recovery pills, he had meditated for over 40 minutes. His meditation had only just ended, and he finally felt full of energy and vigour. Although he was a bit exhausted, this was mainly psychological, and a little bit of sleep will be enough to deal with that. Of course he was ignoring the slight aching from his body. After a month of tedious training, he had become accustomed to this feeling. Once he was sufficiently fit, he immediately asked what he had been curious about before he even lost his consciousness.“Lease. Make that two leases.” Ray answered with a smile. “What spell
“Good, you’re finally out. I almost came in there to call you.” Just when the father and son duo had exited the training room, and closed the door, they heard the voice of the only woman with authority to command them in this house. Ray shuddered when he heard her words. They were so lucky that they had left just now. Just a couple of seconds more and they would have been in trouble. Well, it was more accurate to say that he would have been in trouble. There was no way she would even scold Mane, not to talk of bruising her son. He was a different case altogether. Alexis had no qualms breaking his jaw. And she definitely didn’t mind bruising his pretty face. Even worse was that he couldn’t use his god power to heal since if he restored his appearance without her permission she would be even more infuriated.
