Heavenly Saga

Chapter 264: The Real Home Of The Valkyrie

When the morning came, Belle and the others arrived at the place where Kraftvoll lost his consciousness. As they were about to face a level nine seishin beast, King Arthur decided to step up and finish the beast without a moment of hesitation.

After the king warned them, he returned to Kraftvoll's side to say his farewell. As soon as he exited the area, Kraftvoll excitedly looked at The Valkyrie in which he said, "What is the first trial, oh great one?"

"Follow me, young one," said The Valkyrie before it took off toward the sky.

After seeing this, Kraftvoll was a little bit confused but he still followed her. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sky Soar!"

Suddenly, some of Kraftvoll's inner seishin essences came out of his body. At the next moment, it turned into particles of wind at the same time which later on lifted Kraftvoll through the sky.

Kraftvoll followed The Valkyrie toward the sky using his Sky Soar seishin spell. He was only amazed by what he had seen when he did so.

"What is this? There's nothing like this written in the books inside the Great Library of Verrater Academy," Kraftvoll said with a face that was amazed at what he was seeing. 

When Kraftvoll reached the side of The Valkyrie, a great sanctuary suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Kraftvoll was in awe after seeing the majestic view in front of him.

"Let's go to the center part of the sanctuary, young one. That's where you will take the trial I have prepared ever since the first of your kind stepped in this world," said The Valkyrie as she descended toward the floating sanctuary.

The only thing that Kraftvoll could do in that situation was to follow The Valkyrie without worrying about what's going to happen. 

As soon as he landed, The Valkyrie suddenly spoke up even before Kraftvoll could even ask a question toward the great being. The Valkyrie said to Kraftvoll, "Young one, enter deep meditation at the very center of that magic circle."

Kraftvoll decided to just follow The Valkyrie's command even though he still had some questions in mind. Upon entering deep meditation, The Valkyrie showed a majestic smile on her face.

At the next moment, the great being said to Kraftvoll, "Good luck, young one. I hope that fortune became yours in that trial that I prepared for you, mortals."

The very next moment after The Valkyrie said those words, a great beacon of light suddenly descent toward Kraftvoll. As the beacon of light ascends back toward the sky, Kraftvoll's soul went along with it.

A minute after that, Kraftvoll suddenly woke up from an unknown place. "Where am I?" he could only ask while he was surveying his surroundings.

Around him was barren land, where there is an indication of a bloody battle that transpired. After all, there are countless corpses of humans and weapons scattered everywhere.

"Where am I? If I am not mistaken, I entered deep meditation at that sanctuary floating in the sky. So where the hell this is?" Kraftvoll murmured as he slowly walked on the barren land.

Upon walking for dozens of minutes, Kraftvoll was able to see that greatly shocked him. 'What are those things? Are they humans? Why are they charging toward one another?' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he observed the charging two sides of humans.

When he realized that he was going to be caught up by the collision, Kraftvoll decided to do something. After he made up his mind, Kraftvoll shouted at the top of his lungs, "Sky Soar!"

To his surprise, he was unable to use his inner seishin essences. He even tried to chant as to initiate the seishin essences from the surrounding which only led to failure.

'What am I going to do now? Well, the only thing that I could do is brace myself, then!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he was watching the two forces of humans charged toward one and another.

Kraftvoll expected that he would be hurt upon the collision but he was proven wrong at the very moment the two forces collided. Rather than running over or attacking Kraftvoll, the soldiers of the two forces avoided him as to not get him hurt while they were attacking.

'What is happening?' Kraftvoll could only think to himself while he was in his current situation. 

After gruesome hours of battle, the one side of the battle was able to gain some advantage which they used toward their enemy side to turn the tide of the battle.

As to not waste any more soldiers in the battle, the losing side decided to retreat despite being on the losing side. After all, if they continued to fight the winning side, the only annihilation awaits them.

"Mabuhay ang Kaharian ng Bahaghari!" the soldiers of the winning side chanted as the other side flee from the battlefield.

'What are they saying? Is that a chant of victory?' asked Kraftvoll to himself as he observed the situation amidst the soldiers of the winning side.

"Ayos ka lang ba, Binata?" asked one of the soldiers to Kraftvoll. Since he was not familiar with the language, he only showed an expression that showed his confusion.

To his surprise, he was able to hear the majestic voice of The Valkyrie inside his head for a moment. The Valkyrie said to Kraftvoll, "Forgive me, young one. It slipped out of my mind to cast a special spell on you to understand their language."

A moment later, Kraftvoll began to understand the language of the side of the humans that managed to overcome the others.

"Are you alright, young man?" 

"Is this a man deaf or something?"

Kraftvoll showed a hint of a smile toward the soldier who asked him about his well-being. A moment later, he replied, "I am alright, sir. I am not injured in any way."

"Oh, we thought you are deaf. That's wonderful! Come with us! The fight is over for now so you're going to be safe if you come with us," the old soldier said to Kraftvoll with a huge smile on his face.

Due to the kindness that the old soldier was showing to him, Kraftvoll had no reason to refuse the older man's request, so he nodded to his invitation without a moment of hesitation or whatsoever.

"Sorry, I lost my memories. Why are you fighting with those soldiers?" asked Kraftvoll.

Since he doesn't know the situation, Kraftvoll decided to lie to the old man to gain more information about the situation. The Valkyrie did not give him some information about the first trial so he felt that he had no choice but to do this in this way.

After hearing the words in the first sentence that Kraftvoll had spoken, the expression of the old soldier suddenly changed into that of someone that was very furious. 

"Those bastards from the Garapon Kingdom are really wretched human beings! Even a young man like you got embroiled in the war that they started!" he old man sad with a furious face. 

Kraftvoll became even more confused after seeing the old man's reaction to his question.

Kraftvoll could only think to himself, 'The hatred between these people is deeply rooted. I wonder why?'

Without his answer being answered by the old man, Kraftvoll decided to follow the soldiers until they reached their encampment after walking for a few hours.

"Here we are, young man! This is our base camp. If you want, you can beyond here to reach the territory of the Bahaghari Kingdom, away from this cruel battlefield. Or you can join us to defeat those wretched pig-skin humans!" said the old soldier.

Kraftvoll was shocked beyond belief. After all, he was not used to humans insulting other humans based on the skin of their colors. 

'Although they were people with different skin tones, both of them are still humans. Why is he insulting the other side of the humans?' Kraftvoll wondered to himself.

After a few moments, Kraftvoll decided to observe things further to gain more information about his trial. He tried to ask The Valkyrie a question about his trial deep in his mind but no to avail.

That's why this is the only thing that he could do in this situation. He answered the old man's offer, "I am willing to join your side. But I don't want to join the front line. Is there a spot for support or healer of some sort?"

"We have certainly had some spot for some supports. What the hell is the healer that you are talking about? We have a medic unit here if that's what you mean," said the old man with a very confused face.

'Since the concept of seishin essences doesn't exist in this world, that means that they also don't have any healers? Well, I'm just going to join that medic unit of theirs to find out,' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

After he made up his mind, Kraftvoll said to the old man, "I'll join the medic unit, then, sir."
