In Achlys' Mind Realm,
"First Order, Eclipse!! Argh…!" He thrust his sword towards Bellona; she stood against him and gave a wide smile.
In the nick of the time she jumped over the charging thrust and grabbed Achlys' head smashing it into the ground.
Achlys tried and rolled to the side wanting to get up but gets kicked in the gut and gets flown away.
"Uh…"
"Uh…"
"What the hell…!?" Bellona grabbed him by his hair and pulled him up.
She pointed the sword at his neck. "You lost. Your attacks were good but it barely had any strength behind them."
She thrust the sword in the ground. "You were hesitating; your order attacks were hesitating."
She released him from her grasp. "If things went on like this…you will die in a real battle."
She kicked him out of his mind realm.
"HUH!?" Achlys woke up suddenly wondering where he was and took a moment to grasp everything around him.
"Oh…I am back"
"Human, Ewww…."
Lecia smacked her head hard and pulled out her tongue.
"Say one more word about him and you'll be kissing your own tongue goodbye."
Crevial nodded in fear and raised her arms stating that she surrendered.
"Good!" She let her go and hugged Achlys "Did you sleep well, Darling? Let me give you a lovely morning kiss!"
She leaned in but as she was about to do her deed, she got punched in the face and went flying to the other side.
"I told you, Lecia, I am loyal to Tiabishi."
"Aww, can't I be your second?"
She was bleeding through and head nose but still smiled like an idiot.
As she got up, she turned behind and found something strange.
"That wall…the punch was powerful enough to break several walls like that but it didn't even leave a scratch on this one."
"Yeah you are right, that is weird." Crevial noticed the same.
Lecia tried and punched the other similar wall but the results were same.
"This is strange."
She examined the wall, peeking closely or through the dust it had but found nothing.
"Achlyscan you maybe try the special thing you told me about?"
"I can-"
"The order isn't for fun." Bellona spoke through the marking directly into their minds. "It is for protection."
"Bello-"
"No"
"Oh come o-"
"I said no!"
"Yeah, before that stop interrupting me and I too am quite interested in the mystery of these walls. Since I see no harm in using it, so why not?"
Achlys picked up his sword and took the stance.
"Yo, what the heck just happened??" Crevial was not able to digest the voice she was hearing directly in her mind.
"Shut up, Crevial." Lecia said and Crevial said no more.
"I am doing it then."
Achlys took his stance and was ready for the swing. "First order, Full moon!" the blade shined red and swung it down destroying the house connected to the wall.
Bellona let a deep sigh. "Order defies magic"
"Damn…" Crevial was in awe but quickly stepped back to reality because of the event that was happening before her eyes.
"Hey look at that." Crevial pointed to the wall and house that was restoring to its original form.
"If this is magic…then it sure taking one hell of a mana."
"Bellona, you just said that magic can be destroyed by the orders. So like, can order attacks be destroyed by something as well?"
Achlys asked curiously.
Bellona amused by his question replied. "Always wanting an answer to everything, I like it." She laughed and continued
"Well in a sense, yes, every power in this world has a weakness. Magic beats skills in sheer attack power, specific skills can beat order and orders can beat magic."
"Oh, never knew about that." Crevial eyes widened as she became interested in the analogy explained by her.
"It is heard that many say the trees created a system like this in order to maintain balance between these powers."
"The trees…? They are always in the stories but what do they even do?" Crevial sighed.
"All they do is sit in the power of shadow controlling and manipulating everyone."
"Trees balance the powers, they are the culture. They keep each other in check and every tree hold one-sixth of the original power." Achlys explained everything to Crevial.
"Oh? You are so smart, and how'd you know all this? Read it somewhere?" Mocking Achlys' explanation, she took a stand.
"Yeah, it is almost in every book. Maybe you should read a little." Achlys annoyed by her comment replied. "Basic knowledge." He sighed.
"What did you just say, brat!?"
Badaam!
"W-what just happened?" She suddenly felt heavy and -fell on the ground.
"I suggest you make a good choice, Crevial." Achlys pointed his sword at her head.
"Bitch, you should be happy that I just used ten times the gravity." Lecia walked past her.
"Let's go, darling!"
Achlys sheathed his sword and walked away.
Crevial gritted her teeth. She started charging up her magic and stood up. "Jeez! You guys are no heroes, are you?"
Ignoring her, they both continued walking.
"He never chose to be a hero to begin with." Bellona replied.
"And you know what? Being a hero has its own restrictions or cons in one sense. You can only go on beating the bad guys but I am not in it for that, I don't give a shit about bad or good. I just give freedom to those who need it and to make myself stronger." Achlys said.
Crevial sighed. She looked hands as they were shaking and had bruises because of the storage process of magic.
"Still can't control it, huh." She whispered to herself and just followed the two.
"Well, I guess…my bad."
.......
Mesopotamians, the moon known by the ancients was the location to the castle that re-builds itself again as the Mega continent of Lofitringa came into view. A total of five lights flew into the castle.
"Order of Spears, I assume you have already spoken to the Order of Swords."
Rodal Ullr Corent asked
"I have done my research, not only I spoke to him…I am also aware of his current abilities and his standing in the order." He replied as he sat down on his chair and kept his spear on the table in his front.
"Clovis wants to know if this sword guy is going to join the unmarked…?" Clovis Deanis Lopratis said as he sat beside Rotiun Lugh R'hollor, the order of spears.
"Sit elsewhere, fatso."
"Clovis is not fat. Orcs are big and strong." Clovis replied.
"Yeah yeah, whatever..."
"I am sorry to disappoint you, Clovis but he is not joining. He refuses to join any kind of groups at the moment." Rotiun sighed.
"Well that is going to make things complicated." Claosa Takemikazuchi Nochoki said as she sat on her chair formed her own cards floating in midair.
"Fail…" a voice came from behind.
"Achlys…" he took a deep breathe. "He is choosing to be a solo active group to become stronger and protect the world…a new god."
The room was filled with silence; not even trickling of dust could be heard. Everyone in that room just stared at their feet.
Soon another light made its way into the castle. "You are late, Order of Pickaxe."
Krisa Eldaf made her way into the room. She looked at the order of shields and said. "Leave Achlys alone and that is an order."
"Hmm…? And if I do not follow that order?" He mocked her.
Her stares intensified. She took out the time stone and kept it on the table. "Then I will make sure that every single time master comes to pay us a visit, he…"
"Fine, we get it."
She pointed the pickaxe at him and said. "Don't you dare break your promise?" Soon she left.
"What a bitch, man…" Card shook her head.
"Pickaxe lady not nice." The bow orc said while acting all tough.
"Don't be scared guys." Thomas spoke up. "She just took a soft spot for the sword."
.......
She arrived in her village with a heavy sigh. "Being an order sucks!" said while being nonchalant with her marking that shined purple on the top of her nose.
All of a sudden, she heard a voice making its way close to her. Curious to find out who it was, she turned and looked around. A lady with golden brown hair running away to escape and another woman with a whip in her hands on her way to stop her was seen right in front of her.
"Where are my kids!?" She screamed.
"Huh? I don't even know who you are!?" Krisa not understanding the meaning of the question replied in a rude manner.
"Achlys and Tiabishi!"
"Oh…well I may know where they went."
"What…!? Where!?" she stopped on her tracks and caught her by her shoulders as she forcefully asked her.
"Achlys went where the clouds go and Tiabishi went where the sun sets."
"Thank you so much." Tears went down the lady's eyes.
"Please stop that woman! She has been running for days!" the woman chasing her pleaded as she approached the two.
She finally caught up to her while she was talking to Krisa.
"Come on Mariola, take rest!!" Binding the whip all around her body she tried to subdue her so that she does not move for some time.
But that didn't happen.
"Can't do, Persephone"
Mariola dragged her out of the village while still being bound by the whip.
"The hell just happened??"
