Gamer Chapter 24
🕑 Added 2023-11-17 05:09:28 +0000 UTCI swiftly sent messages to Amagi, and Senko telling them I had finished my missions and that after dealing with Continental stuff I would meet them at the room we had rented at the Continental.
And from there after checking the golem traps I left behind, I saw that they had killed a single monster that had been snooping around, so after looting the remains of whatever tried going into my tunnels I continued on to the Continental. Heading straight towards the Library to meet with Morgan rather than waste any time.
"Arianna," I spoke to the half fallen and her eyes snapped up to mine and smiled before blinking as her head tilted to the side slightly.
"Your life force got stronger?" I shrugged as completing the quests to deliver the supplies, killing the starborn, and of course, dealing with Hypno had given me some good job tokens to level up my two jobs which had in turn strengthened my body a good bit.
I coughed and spoke. "Yeah... I did some stuff, anyway. I need to get back into the restricted section to that book you took me to previously."
Arianna frowned and after a moment she asked with some concern. "Jake... What even is that book? I know it's a heritage book that can teach a special martial art, but what even is it?"
For a moment I considered saying what it wasn't... Like saying I needed to check something about the martial arts. But I wasn't going to lie to Arianna with how she had been nothing if not helpful even if I knew she had some deep-seated issues with her race and wanting to get back at the Greeks.
"It's a phylactery Arianna," I said finally and her frown became a flinch as she raised an eyebrow and was about to say something but I cut her off as I continued. "I know who she is, we used a supernatural oath for a deal that she will be held to. And it's only a soul shard, not the entire departed soul or whatever... She cannot possess me even if she wants to." I assuaged her.
Her crimson eyes stared into mine for a while in clear consideration before she sighed and waved her hand and saved frankly. "Alright go on ahead, the Restricted section is open to anyone... But it's restricted because the books, scrolls, and other things will actively attack people for attempting to read them without their criteria being met." She explained and I nodded thanking Arianna as I went past her bench and into the restricted section and towards where Morgan's soul 'jar' was.
I made my way over to the Raging Dragon Martial Art, and I still needed the dragon materials to even start learning the damned thing... But regardless putting away those thoughts I laid my hand on the book and once again the very world seemed to dim in my vision as a series of soft clapping rang out.
Sitting in front of me, mounted on an ornate stone throne Morgan sat there clapping her hands softly as she spoke softly. "Good... Very good in fact."
With a flash Kusanagi's human form stood beside me as I also summoned Excalibur Blessing into my hand making Morgan's eyes laser onto the the sword in my hand.
Morgan then continued with her lips curling up in disgust. "Indeed, I am most happy to see this... Abomination returned to me. How those bastard humans of Yaweh's faith have twisted the fairy steel I wrought to make Excalibur and using..." Morgan shuddered and said with pure vitriol, "They used the corpses of angels and fallen angels which were blended up and burnt to ashes to form this 'blessed' steel to gain the abilities this particular sword has."
I couldn't help but offer the disgusting blade to over to Morgan as a quick 'Inspect' to the blade had confirmed Morgan's words and I couldn't help but ask. "How do you know angels were used in the creation?"
A cruel smile was my answer as Morgan said gently. "Because after God died, I got my own revenge for my dear sister's death. When I through great efforts assassinated the Archangel Sariel and then using her corpse as a conduit I struck. Cursing the Christian Heaven and causing a great deal of damage to their systems."
She took a breath and then said simply. "I know angelic essence when I see it... And no matter how corrupted, the Fallen Angels share the same essence as their uncorrupted counterpart."
I nodded and then I held Excalibur Blessing with both hands with one hand on the end of the handle and one on the flat of the blade as I respectfully said. "Then in either case, I have acquired Excalibur Blessing for you Morgan and fulfilled my end of the oath."
She respectfully took the sword from my hands and for a long moment, she just stared at the sword before sighing. And then the sword was covered in blinding glittering light for a couple of seconds and once the light show faded the sword was gone from her hands.
"It's done... I teleported the sword to the main portion of my soul. She will begin working your suit of plate armor that will match the armor the Knights of the Round wore that allowed them to meet Archangels on the battlefield."
All that was left was one question. "When can I expect the armor... And what do I get for the other Excalibur shards?" I asked with some humor as Morgan raised an eyebrow at my confidence.
"Hoh? You wish to do more? Disregarding the fact that I am unaware of the current welder's locations for the other shards, but what else do you want as a reward?" She asked obviously curious as to what I would actually want.
For a long moment, I considered my options and came up with a few options. 1- The spatial coordinates for realms that weren't under direct control of powerful factions and could either be purged or brought to heel to expand my domain. 2- An enchanted pair of boots or something that could let me teleport a short distance to be used in battle. 3- And most importantly resources to increase my personal power as of now.
I thought for a long moment and asked with some curiosity. "Could I get some dragon materials to use in the potions I will need to start the martial art?"
Morgan raised an eyebrow and looked at me with some amuesment as she said with some small amount of teasing? "You don't want to be a hero and hunt down your own dragon to bathe in its blood?"
I deadpanned at her and retorted flatly. "I am a mercenary Morgan... If I can do good and get paid for it, I will happily do so... But going out of my way to hunt down a dragon when I know your main self probably has plenty of materials isn't all that intelligent." I finished.
I wasn't dumb. Morgan was obviously a very powerful witch/magician so I saw no reason not to simply buy/trade the catalysts I needed for the martial art from her if I could manage it.
The silver-haired witch nodded as a matter of fact and then with a flicker of light she summoned a vial filled with crimson glowing blood that she waved slightly. "Indeed. When Artoria and Merlin had the original Holy Grail, I also used it to create blood from the Red Dragon of Domination D'draig for my own purposes."
She gently tipped the vial back and forth as though to entice me with it while I met her eyes and said with a wry smile. "That little vial isn't going to mean much for how much I need for the martial art though... To say nothing of the other auxiliary ingredients I need. And frankly gathering the Excaliburs is worth far more to you than some blood that has been sitting in stasis for centuries if not more than a millennia."
Kusanagi sniffed and then added dryly. "Morgan Le Fay, what do you want for a decent supply of the blood so he can make a foundation in that martial art?"
Morgan's face went from lazy indulgence in teasing me about the blood to serious and with a flick of her wrist the blood vial fell into her sleeves and disappeared into some kind of pocket. "I want a great many things as I said before. But for now... I need angelic materials. I need the source materials of the filth within the Excaliburs to wipe out the taint while using other materials to remove the taint of Yaweh's creation process to begin putting Artoria's soul back together."
'Oh shit... She wants me to kill angels.' I thought with mounting exasperation as Morgan continued. "So in essence, for every angel wing, you bring me regardless of them being pure or fallen. I will give you a serving of the dragon's blood you need for the martial art."
I couldn't help brushing my hand across my face as I groaned and at Kusanagi's elbow I retorted. "I just killed a damn eldritch demi-god and probably have an elder god poking around to see who killed said son even though he yeeted him onto Earth... Now I need to go poke the hornet's nest that is the Abrahamic faction in hunting down angels or fallen?"
I shook my head at the absurdity but Morgan then made a decent point. "Jake Barris, you have forgotten one thing. The fallen are utter degenerates and they are often outcasted of their people after doing terrible deeds. So hunt the Fallen that regularly have bounties on their heads."
Honestly... Her point was right. There was a fuck load of two winged fallen angels who were second-generation fallen who had zero self-control. So bad that not even the Grigori could put up with them and thus they got outcasted.
After a long moment, I sighed and nodded with a loud pinging noise ringing through my ear. [The hallowed bells rings] [Harvest the wings of angels, fallen or pure. And then return them to Morgan Le Fay. Warning, pick your targets wisely lest you draw the attention of higher leveled beings who may be supporting them.] [Rewards- Blood of D'Draig to be used in Raging Dragon Martial Art, and 2 Job tokens per wing delivered.]
Morgan clapped her hands with a small smile coming across her lips as she said sweetly. "Then go on young king. I await to hear of your glories by those watching you. And who knows... I have given the Martial Art to many, and you are the first to actually return an Excalibur to my hands. I will surely reward you most dearly for bringing more..." Her words drew off and my lips twitched as I felt her words seemingly spoken directly into my ears as her form faded away.
With Morgan gone Kusanagi gently pulled my wrist as she pulled me away while she spoke to me mentally. "We need to become stronger should you desire to hunt down three set or six-winged angels or higher."
I agreed with her but there was just one little thing... I knew where some weak Fallen were. I knew Japan was crawling with Fallen angels due to the Shinto mostly sticking to their upper realm. And more specifically I knew where some trash cells of fallen who wouldn't be a challenge.
'Whelp, time to get involved with some DXD stuff... Though at least in Japan, I will Yuki to help me around. Along with the nuclear button that is Kiyohime should a big fish come.' I thought smiling at the thought of reuniting with Yuki after she finished her clan duties in reporting our marriage. While I was a bit... Concerned about Kiyohime after I bounced from Japan back to America without letting her catch me.
While Kusanagi also disappeared back into her swords pocket realm I took out my phone and began calling my kitsune to meet up to my apartments.
I needed to catch up with them, and I knew they would be useful as Shinano and Yukikaze were strong combatants who could help me in taking out some fallen.
