I figured that some of the people I used [Antares] on that day are probably still alive and healthy. Fang, Frillet, Cricket, and 1 other, had the most Magical Energy perceivable. If I were to run into them again, I'd have more chances of surviving than last time, but the best course of action would be to determine their location and bombard them using [Orbital Curveball] and my current [Symplirotheí], so that's what we're going to do right now.
We ventured to the most suitable place, the summit of a mountain. This one mountain in particular, called "Mount Date", is 2 times taller than the average mountain. It's pretty windy up here, and the cold isn't helping much either. Luckily, I had a cloak. I'm thankful to Veno, for giving me such adjustable equipments, helping me to adapt to certain situations and environments. Veno also taught me how to climb mountains easily, so it wasn't that hard getting up here, especially with these legs that has my hardened blood frozen over them.
I could see above the clouds, how the brightly setting sun easily burnt away my skin, but I kept regenerating it, making no actual damage. The sunlight is quite weak this time around, compared to that time when the scorching sun was welcomed upon me because of the volcanic eruption. Even though there wasn't much sunlight, the heat was really strong, strong enough to weaken me despite the sunlight not being too visible.
Tahgweiy had found a string instrument, which was a guitar, along the way and kept it with her until now for ritual purposes. She also carried a basket full of vegetables for the same purposes. With our advanced magical technologies, we made a circle using chalk, before I sat down on the middle of it. More circles were drawn around the first circle, and feathers were placed down on the middle of all those new circles. The flat surface we were on served as a great place for rituals. We had to spend half the day digging out the snow and making the environment fitting for it.
The circles acted as an eye for the eyes that represented omnipresence. Because I'm someone who has almost experienced omnipresence before, this job was made a lot easier. All of the feathers were plucked from feathered lizards, and soaked in rainbow liquid obtained after the rain, they served as magical objects for slight flying and levitation. After all the preparations were completed, the circles became my way of finding our enemies' positions and the feathers were turned into tools used for enhancing my weapons' speeds and effectiveness.
"Ready? Let's rock 'n' roll!!"
Tahgweiy used her electromagnetic powers to amplify the sounds produced by her guitar, with the help of Zeira who sprinkled some of her fairy dust on Tahgweiy to reverse her electromagnetic waves, converting them into sound waves. Tahgweiy then began playing a song aggressively with her guitar, making Zeira hide away under a rock because of the extremely loud noise.
"Twilight radiance, fall spirit diamond. Purity foundation reverberation. Spears of judgement. Sator arepo tenet opera rotas. Omega(Ω)."
To end the current [Symplirotheí], which was only but a combination of [Drone Prop Attack] and [Heaven's Model], I spoke out the last chants in order to achieve full power for it's final use, before the spell is destroyed, never to be used again, unless I get to someone who is proficient at spell resuscitation. Demons are good at it, aren't they? Maybe I'll find a human who is able to do it as well. But first of all, I must use this spell at it's end. It's not respectable to think of such things when it hasn't even ended yet.
I got up from my sitting position once the circles brightened up, indicating that they have become active now. After taking out the forks, knives, and spoons from their container, I stabbed each one into small vegetables before throwing all of them into the locations according to the circles, casting [Orbital Curveball] every throw, and [Symplirotheí] every time the objects gets near a target. I picked them out one by one, flinging 5 utensils every millisecond with 1 hand, while holding the rest with my other hand. The circles gave me the location of each target, whilst the feathers helped prevent every single one of the small vegetables and utensils from getting destroyed before getting detonated with [Symplirotheí]. While the feathers did help the utensils stabbed into vegetables, the chants I did also put protective magic over them so that they could reach their targets without any disturbance.
After just 3 seconds, my speed has gone up, making throwing easier. The explosions caused by [Symplirotheí] weren't just normal explosions as well, their sizes could reach higher than a mountain, and the destruction they cause are very powerful. [Symplirotheí] creates explosions that instantly destroys everything down to the very last molecule in it's effective range. The aftermaths are also great, making major natural disasters like thunder tornadoes and massive earthquakes. The [Drone Prop Attack] and [Heaven's Model] combination I used back then were nowhere close to this. The chantings played a huge part, and right now will be the most effective these spells could get.
I could feel each target's Magical Energy slowly disappearing each hit. But just like last time, Frillet Tofan isn't really getting affected. Is this just slowing him down? What a monster.
After just 5 seconds, all of my supplies were depleted. I sat down to rest, realizing that each target were on different continents, at least a few continents away from me as well, which means I just threw forks, spoons, and knives across many different continents and hit all of my targets with pinpoint accuracy. My [Symplirotheí] spell has also been destroyed now, along with [Drone Prop Attack] and [Heaven's Model]. It'd require a specifically great power to bring back those 2 spells. But if I wanted to, I could just combine another 2 different spells together again to make another [Symplirotheí], but with different outcomes. [Symplirotheí] basically just upgrades and combines 2 spells together to create a new, and advanced spell that can use the 2 combined spells' abilities at the same time to produce an overall better outcome. It's much more complicated than that, so remember that that's just a simplified explanation of [Symplirotheí].
I took one last look while the circles still worked, and I could see, from all 4 of my targets, only Frillet Tofan and Cricket Cricket survived. I didn't forget about Sisisaya Mandrakora as well. But it seems like he's underground, and under the ocean, so it'd be very difficult to try and attack him. I wonder what he's doing there anyways. Did he figure out that I would do this, so that's why he went down to a safer place?
We then left the mountain to continue our journey to the north, not forgetting to pick up more utensils from abandoned villages along the way. We figured that we might get to find the Demon Lord's Castle if we just continue going north. The Temporal Spatial Pyramids are also not a bad find, if we somehow miss the castle, or fail to find it. ...If only we ran into another portal just like that one time. I almost forgot where that place is now, but before falling into the Demon Realm, I swear I sensed the portal closing, so it'd be a huge waste of our time if we came back there and found the portal closed. It's a mystery why that portal was even there, and why it led to that particular place where Killer was trying to resurrect a demon or something.
5 months later, we arrived at a snowy area, indicating that we were closer to the Temporal Spatial Pyramids now, at the place where the Great Catastrophe mainly took place in. We still haven't found the Demon Lord's Castle though. It was written in the Book of Epitomy, how those Pyramids came to be. It's pretty obvious already, but the Great Catastrophe also involved the entire world, including all of the 6 dimensions. In Cvvoer, the Great Catastrophe was known to man because of how catastrophic it was. To give a bit of an idea, it's 50 times worse than this current apocalypse right now. The Blood God did walk the lands during the Great Catastrophe after all.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Whilst walking around orange-coloured frozen forests and terrains, we got caught up in a strong blizzard, interrupting our journey and slowing us down. I could sense intense Bloodlust coming from behind the freezing clouds, but both Zeira and Tahgweiy couldn't see anything. Tahgweiy of all people, she should be seeing what I'm seeing right now, the silhouette of a familiar man.
They stopped with me as I froze in place, going eye to eye with the man before me. His left arm had been dismembered, and all of his scars had gotten pale. It's clear with those wide, and sharp eyes, that he's seen death before, and faced hell to survive and tell the tale. I could remember now, how this person was with us all along. He always existed, but never did at the same time. From the moment I met Den and the rest of the new heroes, this man never had any presence until now.
Ah... How long it has been since I've last met Liand.
He stared at me full of hostility and anger. But I knew he didn't want to attack me. No one could see him except for me in this tough storm. I'm in such great jubilation right now, I feel like I'm going even higher. For some reason, I began smiling widely again, just like that time I met Tov-Yeua. It's not something I do regularly, and I'm obviously not this psychotic. Something must be controlling me right now, or a bug must've been put into my brain. I'm so exhilarated, the bars are getting raised beyond their limits. What the hell's going on?
"Vixenn... I figured I'd meet you here again... I can explain why you're going crazy seeing my horrible appearance... But first, let me tell you how I managed to find you..."
My left eye was twitching, closing and opening like I just lost my mind. I clenched my teeth and slashed him using [Foe Reducer], but I saw that he didn't even budge despite getting torn from his collarbone to his hips.
"When this apocalypse started, I realized that the spirits have been living in my body since I was born. All that madness made them escape, run, and flee. I wasn't brutalized by anyone or anything in those salt mines... The spirits left me and I suffered literal hell. My spirit self, which you all may know as Liand, died, and ceased to exist. The very concept of myself was removed, and that made me finally figure it out. The Blood God's true abilities... They aren't the one who caused all of this. But they did do something so powerful it affected all forms of existence and non-existence. ...I was destroyed, but my body wasn't."
"What... What the hell do you mean by that?"
"I looked for you guys everywhere, until I finally found that city where you all stopped at. But then, a massive explosion hit me, it was the same explosion you made, Vixenn. I managed to survive thanks to someone... It's someone you know... ...But I'm not referring to you, Vixenn... I'm talking to you, ?!&+!."
What did he say? I always have an ability to automatically translate words into a language I can understand easily, but what he said only pained me everytime I try to translate it.
Liand's body was falling apart every second. My attack only made his situation worse, it added another fatal injury to his already dying body. Both Tahgweiy and Zeira were looking at me confused, wondering who I was talking to, and what I was doing.
"Yeshua... In the Demon language, you may know her as 'True-Savior', or Tov-Yeua. ...She saved me from everything that happened. She's the polar opposite of Frillet Tofan. ...You'll know the truth soon, Vixenn. I may never know it, but you will.
"Ah... Despite all of these miracles keeping me alive... My life has finally come to an end... Thank you, Vixenn. All of those things you threw in the air gave out your position. It made me remember how stupid and silly you guys were back in the days. Thank you, and goodbye..."
His Bloodlust was gradually fading away as we spoke. After he was done saying all those words softly, his upper body began to slowly shatter into pieces. A smile remained on his face even though his entire body has been suffering extreme damage. It didn't take long for him to finally be left a frozen pair of legs with a bit of his lower body, which was very clearly sliced off with my scythe, [Foe Reducer].
The strange feelings I had eventually went away as I looked down on his remains. I couldn't even shed a tear. Was Tahgweiy actually telling the truth? Do I just not have emotions?
I stared at his legs for an hour until Tahgweiy slapped me, snapping me out of it. She scolded me for standing still in the cold for such a long time, asking me what's wrong. I replied saying that there was nothing wrong, and so we continued our journey to the north. The pyramids were still really far away from us, since it's on the other side of the planet after all. Our mission to prevent the demons from finding out about the Dragon Relocation mission is still not over. We'll just have to find something in another place, since that continent was obviously useless.
It was really difficult trying to leave this place, because of all the blizzards and snow everywhere, so we stopped to rest at a safer place, where the environment was a bit warmer.
I couldn't put Liand's death to waste, so I began thinking about what he just said back there. 'Tov-Yeua', or 'True-Savior', is actually 'Yeshua' in Earth's language. I've reactivated most of my brain functions and all 12 of my senses, including the [Sense of Impending Doom], even though I know it won't really help much. [Sense of Right and Judgement] and [Sense of Malice], or simply, [Malice], allowed me to finish this job faster, then with my [Sense of Common Knowledge], I managed to finalize all of the information I made; 'Yeshua' is a word from the Hebrew language back on Earth, and the Demon language mostly consists of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and many other different languages from Earth, and only has a few languages from Cvvoer, which means that Yeshua is probably from Earth as well. Her name was only translated to Tov-Yeua because of [Blood Panel], and it's lack of Earth's languages. Taking all of that information, I managed to find the name back in the English language, and alphabet; Y-E-S-H-U-A = to save, rescue, or deliver. 'Taw', or 'Tav', in the Demon language, becomes 'Tov', so the most accurate translation would be [Good Savior], instead of [True-Savior], but that could also just be a title for her, the "True Savior".
Yeshua is known as the true savior in this world. It's pretty obvious, because most of the survivors we ran into wouldn't stop talking about her. But what was that strange field surrounding her? I must investigate this person who just randomly showed up one day and decided to become an actual hero, unlike Den and Frillet. Where did Yeshua even come from, though? It's unlikely she's from Earth, since she's a Catfolk, but having such a name would mean she had connections to Earth at least.
I don't know much about the spirits that Liand was talking about. But I did get more information about Yeshua and the Blood God. The name 'YESHUA' has 6 letters. 'SAVIOR' also has 6 letters, which is the word she's most known with. Since both has 6 letters, a connection with the shape 'Hexagon' wouldn't be too far off. The Hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides, it is a shape that has 120° internal angles, with the total being 720°. Since the 2 words have 6 letters, we'll take them as variables since they can still be changed to have a different amount of letters in other languages (a and a). We'll also take both words' letter counts, and use them as well (6 and 6). Then, we'll add a side to the total, but not after it is squared to match the word count (120²). We must also divide the total by the average side before adding it. When all is done, we'll finally be able to add it to the second word (6a). The solution only needs to be found using simple math, so first, we get 14,400 from 120², then we divide it by 720 to get 20, so now we can do the easier part; 6a + 20 + 120(6a). So after solving and simplifying all of that, you'd get 726a + 20. Remember that I wasn't solving it like normal maths on Earth, there might be some things you won't find there that you'll find here in Cvvoer.
Now, since we got our number as 726 + 20, we can move on to determine Yeshua's field of strange energy. In her field, I can remember that day's, and that place's temperatures being 30 degrees Celsius, if we convert it into Kelvins, we'd get 303.15 Kelvins. Using the normal formula, if we multiply 5.67 by 10⁻⁸ and then by (303.15)⁴, her radiant kinetic energy would be 480 W/m². Basically, she has a really strong aura, very similar to Liand's and Fiya's.
Thanks to the numbers 726, 20, and 480, we have finally acquired a very important clue to where the Blood God might be resurrected at. On Earth, latitudes 4.14444, and longitudes 2.66666, something will happen, something massive, and great. Me and [Blood Panel] were making a ton of calculations, but we finally arrived at a final conclusion: The Blood God will revive somewhere in the Gulf of Guinea, back on Earth, instead of on Cvvoer. It's possible that the Blood God might be connected to Earth, but I'll figure that out later, since I just realized I've been sitting on the ground in front of a campfire for roughly 10 hours now. Tahgweiy and Zeira were talking to each other while eating something.
Man, I was so focused and concentrated that I actually forgot about time.
