Heavenly Saga

Chapter 257: A Virtue

After eating their fill for Breakfast, Kraftvoll and his companions began their preparation for their exploration of the Valkyrie Forest.

"It's time for us to depart again. Unlike before, we must become more vigilant because we might face dangerous situations like the one we faced yesterday. To make sure, I'll summon another Sand Golem to accompany us," Kraftvoll said to his two seishin beasts partners after they finished their preparation.

At the next moment, Kraftvoll decided to activate his brown seishin aura and green seishin aura to conjure the Sand Golem seishin spell.

A moment later, he began chanting saying, "Oh ye minuscule portion of the world, let the wind control you to follow thy master's will, call upon the sinister of the weak, Sand Golem!"

Suddenly, an immense amount of brown seishin essences and green seishin essences from the surroundings began gathering around him. At the end of Kraftvoll's chant, he was able to summon another Sand Golem ready to follow his every command.

"Now, that is settled, let's continue our journey to this cursed place!" Kraftvoll excitedly said to his seishin beast partners.

As they were traveling, Kraftvoll decided to constantly use his Gale Survey seishin spell again to make sure that no ferocious seishin beasts might come on their way and at the same find some prey to fight.

After hours of exploring, Kraftvoll was able to locate a few seishin beasts that they easily defeated without a hard time because they were unable to face an Angel Squad that endangered their lives like yesterday.

Among their prey, Kraftvoll and his companions were able to defeat another Powers but this time they easily beat it because it was not within or leading an Angel Squad.

Despite the number of prey that they managed to find, Kraftvoll decided to continue their exploration until he found something he was searching to find for the whole day.

'At last! I found something!' Kraftvoll thought to himself after he conjured another Gale Survey seishin spell.

"Follow me. I managed to find the last prey we will hunt this day!" said Kraftvoll with a huge smile on his face.

After a few minutes of walking, Kraftvoll halted because he was finally able to reach his destination.

"Don't make any noise. This seishin beast is the most dangerous one that we managed to find in this forest. I'm going to conjure some defensive seishin spell before we hunt that seishin beast." 

A moment later, Kraftvoll was suddenly enveloped with a brown seishin aura. At the next moment, Kraftvoll began chanting saying, "Ye who exemplifies the aspect of groundedness, allow my desire to be fulfilled, protect your master and those standing beside thy master, Copper Guardian!"

The moment Kraftvoll began saying the words of his chant, an immense amount of brown seishin essences from his surroundings began to converge to him.

In the conclusion of his chant, Kraftvoll was able to envelop Angela, Ouryuu, and himself with armors made up of copper.

When Kraftvoll finished conjuring the Copper Guardian seishin spell, Kraftvoll charged to the prey that he found along with all his seishin beast partners.

'That's a freaking Virtue! A level eight seishin beast! If we managed to get its seishin beast core, Angela would be able to evolve to a Powers or even a Virtues like this one!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he charge.

When the Virtue felt the presence of Kraftvoll and his companions, it immediately went to battle mode to fight them.

While they were charging the Virtue created many balls of light that it discharged toward Kraftvoll and his seishin beast partners.

"Sand Golems! Defend us from those balls of light!" Kraftvoll shouted after seeing the projectiles that the Virtue had launched toward them.

They did exactly what Kraftvoll commanded them to upon hearing their command. Since they were summoned from Kraftvoll's great spell, the Sand Golems only incurred small damages to themselves.

While he was charging Kraftvoll decided to conjure a seishin spell while he was on his way toward the Virtue. He chanted at the top of his lungs, "Ye who symbolizes the purification of the world, I require thee, scourge the lives of those who are tainted by this world's cruelty, Aquatic Whip!"

Before he began chanting that seishin spell of his, a blue seishin aura suddenly enveloped his body. When he started chanting, an immense amount of blue seishin essences from his surroundings began gathering around him as he was shouting every word of his chant.

When the Virtue saw the blue seishin essences that were being attracted by Kraftvoll's chanting, it decided to create an elemental weapon of its own to fight its charging hunter.

In the middle of Kraftvoll's chant, the blue seishin essences that he was able to gather began transforming into vapors of water one by one. At the end of his chant, those vapors of water condensed together which later on formed into a whip made up of water.

Meanwhile, as Kraftvoll finished conjuring his elemental weapon, the Virtue managed to create one of its own as well. The Virtue is the executioner of the angel race. That's why it created a scythe as a weapon to fight Kraftvoll and his companions.

Before the Virtue could ever reach him, Kraftvoll used his Aquatic Whip seishin spell to attack the Virtue ferociously. To protect their master, Kraftvoll's summon familiars, the three Sand Golem used their body to protect Kraftvoll while he was the Virtue.

Meanwhile, Angela was using his newly found power by creating numerous spears made up of light particles which she is throwing at the Virtue with all her might. As they were doing those, Ouryuu was firing numerous balls of fire that explodes with the same destructive force as the Explosion seishin spell.

Seeing that it was on the disadvantageous side on the land, the Virtue decided to change the course of the battle by flying toward the sky.

The moment he saw this, Kraftvoll showed a hint of a smile on his face. A moment later, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sky Soar!" 

Suddenly, a huge portion of his inner seishin essences from his reservoir came out of his body. A moment later, those inner seishin essences of Kraftvoll transformed into particles of wind that condensed at the next moment to a translucent membrane of wind.

As this translucent wind lift him in the sky, Kraftvoll used this seishin spell to charged toward the Virtue. Before he could even reach the Virtue, Kraftvoll shouted, "Ice Spear Torrent!"

Kraftvoll was able to instantaneously conjure numerous spears of ice from the inner seishin essences that came out of his body. Without a moment of hesitation, he launched this toward the Virtue as hard as he can.

When the Virtue saw those numerous spears made up of ice coming on its way, it immediately created a shield from the light seishin essences of its seishin beast core for defense. 

In the end, Kraftvoll's Ice Spear Torrent failed to impale any body parts of the Virtue due to the shield that it created.

'As expected of a level eight seishin beast! Well, it's time to use more force to deal with it, then!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he used his Aquatic whip seishin spell to attack the Virtue.

A moment later, he shouted to his companions, "Ouryuu, Angela, Sand Golems! Buy me some time while I chant my seishin spell!"

After hearing Kraftvoll, both Ouryuu and Angela nodded to his request. The Sand Golems did not show any expressions after hearing Kraftvoll's command after hearing it but they followed him without blinking an eye.

To conjure his seishin spell, Kraftvolld decided to go down so that he would be able to cast his seishin spell properly. As soon as he reached the ground, Kraftvoll suddenly activates his two seishin aura before he chanted his seishin spell.

This time, Kraftvoll was enveloped with a black seishin aura and a red seishin aura in his whole body. A moment later, Kraftvoll began chanting saying, "Ye entities who represent the gloom and destruction of the world, I compel thee, make the world a living hell for those who are obstacles in your master's way, Murky Conflagration!"

As soon as he began chanting, an immense amount of red seishin essences from the surroundings began gathering around Kraftvoll as he was chanting.

Since it was already daytime, the black seishin essences from the surroundings were very scarce which is why an immense amount of Kraftvoll's inner seishin essences came out of his body to compensate for the needed amount of black seishin essences to conjure the Murky Conflagration seishin spell.

Slowly, the seishin essences that Kraftvoll was able to gather began turning into their own respective elements at the middle of Kraftvoll's chant. 

Before his chant end, the particles of darkness and slivers of fires that Kraftvoll had conjured began merging into one resulting in a black flame that condensed into a ball on Kraftvoll's hand.

"That's enough! Get away from the Virtue, NOW!"
