“What are Noble Phantasms?” I asked curiously.

“Not only are they the most powerful and important part of a Saint Graph, they are also its very identity.” Spider Supreme explained to me the importance of Noble Phantasms.

“Their very identity?” I questioned, confused by his explanation.

“To explain Saint Graph properly, I must tell you about their history. It originated in a universe which was very similar to our own but with very different underlying laws.

People who are famous enough there that they were written down in History could ascend to a higher form of existence called Heroic Spirits after their death to a different dimension called Throne of Heroes.

Actually, the term ‘Heroic Spirit’ is a bit of a misnomer as not all Heroic Spirits were actually Heroes. One only needed to be famous enough for their fame to last centuries to enter the Throne of Heroes. You can find a large variety of famous people there, ranging from villains, heroes, scientists to even authors.”

I was astonished to learn about the Throne of Heroes. A place where every famous person in history from heroes, villains, kings and even scientist and others gathered.

“The mages of that world managed to create away to someone those Heroic Spirits in a diminished form who they called ‘Servants’ in their arrogance.

These Servants were actually a spiritual body formed completely of magical energy in which the Heroic Spirits descended. And the foundation of their spiritual body was the Saint Graph which contained all their powers.

The Noble Phantasms are what made these Heroic Spirits famous when they were alive and is thus a vital part of their identity. Often times, it is a weapon such as a sword or a sphere which was used by the Heroic Spirit. A perfect example would be King Arthur whose Noble Phantasm would be Excalibur along with various other weapons he had used in his life such as Rhongomyniad.”

Spider Supreme explained everything about Heroic Spirits and Noble Phantasms patiently. I was honestly in awe as I heard about Heroic Spirits from him.

“But Albion was a dragon not a human. How did you create its Saint Graph then?” I asked as I was confused by this fact.

“Be patient, I am explaining it now. Actually, the Saint Graph is quiet flexible and can be modified by powerful spells. Moreover, it can even be grafted into a human through various means. In fact, a lot of higher beings had Saint Graph in that universe.

As such, I had created Albion's Saint Graph using the DNA I had obtained from its corpse and reference data for research on Melusine’s body. Even then, it was not an easy task and took several years.”

“In fact, I also have a grafted Saint Graph. Let me show you my Noble Phantasm.” Melusine said excitedly.

Her hands became covered in a blue light and when the blue light disappeared, there were gauntlets on her hands on which swords for fixed. The swords were not normal swords either. I could see several words engraved on the swords in an unknown language.

“This is my Noble Phantasm, [Innocence Arondight].” Melusine told me proudly.

“Arondight, where have I heard that name before?” I had heard this name clearly somewhere but I seemed to miss the source.

“It is Lancelot’s sword from the Arthurian Legends. Mine is a modified version of that sword. Lancelot's Saint Graph vas grafted on me by Her Majesty, thus giving me the name Faerie Knight Lancelot.” Melusine said triumphantly.

“Faerie Knight? Faeries actually exist and you are a faerie? Weren't you born from Albion?” I was a truly surprised by Melusine's sudden proclamation.

“They do not exist in this world. Melusine is from a world with actually existed. Since she was raised by Faeries, she also has the traits of a Fae.

But you should be thankful that the Faeries do not exist in your world. Because they were one bloody hell of cunts who actually enslaved humans.”

Spider Supreme told me the true nature of the Faeries, shocking me. And here I had thought that the fairies were actually pure of heart as was taught in the stories. If they were truly like what Spider Supreme said them to be, then this world was indeed better off without them.

“Hey! Not all of us were evil. Just look at me, how I turned out. Besides, you yourself are married to Her Majesty, Faerie Queen Morgan Le Fae.” Melusine said to Spider Supreme in an accusing tone.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

“Huh! You are married and your wife is Morgan Le Fae!” I may not be too familiar with Arthurian Legends but the name Morgan Le Fae was just too infamous.

“Don't look so surprised. This Morgan Le Fae has nothing to do with Arthurian Legends. In fact, the Arthurian Legends had not even taken place in that world. Here, let me show you my wedding photos.” Spider Supreme happily took out his wedding photos to show to me.

As soon as I saw the pictures, I was shocked. Because, I could see a mature version of the old me in the picture along with a silver haired, blue eyed beauty, both of them looking happy married.

This just reminded me of my relationship with Emma. Although the silver haired woman, Morgan Le Fae in the picture looked quite different from Emma, her silver hair as well as the cold expression on her face reminded me too much of her.

Spider Supreme showed me various pictures of his wedding joyfully, some where he was with just his wife and others which were group pictures. However, I noticed one thing in all these pictures.

“Where are Uncle Ben and Aunt May?” I asked as there was no chance they would not be at the other me’s wedding.

“Ah! I guess I forgot to tell you about this fact.” Spider Supreme said, his voice taking a sorrowful tone. I suddenly dreaded the answer to my question.

“I am more than 200 years old at this moment. So, you can understand what had happened. Everyone I used to know when I was young has already passed on.” Spider Supreme said this fact sorrowfully.

“Did your age not affect your marriage?” I asked in a bid to change the topic.

“Of course, it doesn't. After all, her Majesty is already more than 2000 years old.” Melusine answered this time.

“Really! She doesn't look like she could be any more than in her late 20s.” I was surprised to learn about this fact. Magic sure was convenient in this case.

“Anyways, we are going off the topic. We were talking about Noble Phantasms.” Spider Supreme said, returning to the topic.

“Actually, you already have a Noble Phantasm which you are using.”

“Then, why do I not know about it?” I asked, surprised by Spider Supreme's words.

“Because it is actually a passive Noble Phantasm called [Armour of Albion]. The incredible defence you have is because of this Noble Phantasm.

It had taken a lot of time and effort for me to include this Noble Phantasm in the serum. It works by giving your skin the same defence as Dragon Scales.”

No wonder, my defence has always been this strong ever since I had gained this Saint Graph.

“Actually, you have another Noble Phantasm but that one can only be used when your Saint Graph's power is at 100%.

Anyways, I had not told you about Noble Phantasms just for explaining about them. I want you to develop another Noble Phantasm, the details of which I have already transferred to you when I had given you that card.”

As Spider Supreme said these words, the name of the Noble Phantasm he wanted me to develop manifested in my mind.

“[Blessing of Albion]!”

“Yes, [Blessing of Albion]. As Noble Phantasms are something originating from a different world with different underlying laws, it is quite difficult to create new ones. Moreover, it is still likely that they will not very strong. However, I am confident about this one.

Albion, the dragon had a history of blessing those who garnered its attention. This Noble Phantasm is something which emulates that act of his. It is a support type Noble Phantasm through which you can grant Dragon factors to someone temporarily.”

As I heard Spider Supreme's explanation, I realised how much of a broken skill it was. With this Noble Phantasm, I could give anyone the same powers as mine temporarily.

“But what do you mean by developing this Noble Phantasm?” I questioned.

“As I have said before, this power works on different laws. So, you have to make this Noble Phantasm fit with the current laws.

There is not much you have to do. The framework of the Noble Phantasm has already been transferred to you and all you have to do is to make it fit. I have also installed instructions on how to do it. It should not take more than a week.”

Spider Supreme explained what I had to do patiently as I was unaware of the inner workings of the Noble Phantasms.

“Anyways, since discussion is finished I need to ask you something. What is the cosmic force which is connected to Emma and Jean?” I questioned because if there was anyone who knew everything about this matter, it was definitely this guy since he had connected that causing force to Emma.

“Ah! You mean the Phoenix Force.” Spider Supreme answered.

“It is actually the Phoenix Force.” As I heard the answer, I was truly shocked. Phoenix Force was literally one of the strongest cosmic forces in the universe which had complete control over psionic energy.

The sorcerers knew little about this force as it was only documented by the first Sorcerer Supreme Agamotto.

“You don't need to worry. It is not that had to negotiate and control this force. Here, take this! It contains everything you need to know about the Phoenix Force.” Spider Supreme said, handing me a USB drive.

I took a sigh of relief as I realised that with the knowledge regarding Phoenix force in our hand, Emma and Jean would not have a hard time dealing with it.

Beep! Beep!

I was about to continue the conversation when suddenly Spider Supreme’s wristwatch rang.

“Oh! It seems that our time to return has come.” Spider Supreme said.

Damn! Why did he have to go so quickly? I had a lot to ask him such as what he had used on Emma.

“Before I go, Peter, take this!” Spider Supreme said, giving me another silver card which had an image of a dragon's head similar to that of Albion on it.

“This card will temporarily charge your Saint Graph to 100% and enable you to enter your dragon form.” Spider Supreme explained the purpose of the card, shocking me.

“But where would I even use this? I have never had a situation where I even had to use my true strength which has been enhanced even more now. I would literally never have to use this card. Beside, would I even be able to control my dragon form?” I questioned as I was already too damn overpowered.

“You don't need to worry. Since it is a temporary power up, there should be no problems. Besides, that time will come very soon. Till then, Adios!” Saying these words, Spider Supreme created a rainbow portal and left with Melusine before I could ask what he meant when he said that the time will come very soon.
