Reiji is excited to hear anything about the Divine Artifact.

Since they now have plenty of time, it is finally his chance to learn more about the past and things related to Arcana and Deities.

​​

"Wait… I mentioned most of these things to Shiori last night… You can just read her report." Szaaz recalled.

"Oh, so she listed the complete information about the Divine Artifact? I'll just check it then."

"Well, I can't say that it has complete detail since we didn't really focus on that story… She just listed where I found them… Anyway, what would you like to know about those things?"

The Trident Arcana asked feeling confident and proud. He seems to be quite happy that he'll be able to teach his Master.

It is a feeling that he could describe as well.

"Let's see… Tell me about the Divine Items or Artifacts that you've seen before." Reiji replied. He wasn't new about the existence of the divine things but he has limited information about them.

Most of them were just words that couldn't be trusted.

"I understand, Master… The first item with divinity that I've found is called the Summoning Grimoire… It is an item that allows the user to summon creatures of another world."

"Whoa~ It is not an Arcana but a Divine Artifact? Just what kind of creatures were summoned by that grimoire."

Reiji asked in excitement… Just by its name, he can already imagine how different it is. Arcana like him were mostly made of Weapons, Accessories, or Items that can also be found in this world.

Then, their Arcane Magic was something that can be created using their wielder's Spiritual Energy and the Arcana's Mystical Energy…

Because of this, there were no such things as summoning magic in all of the Arcana that are existing.

However, as expected, Divine Items can truly do something incredible…

"Hmm… Master, I didn't personally see it summoning some creatures but I heard that there were no Dragons, Wyverns, Phoenix, Wyrms, and many other beings here before… then the user of that grimoire managed to summon them out from a different world and made them roam here…"

Szaaz explained after recalling his past.

This revelation stunned Reiji. He felt that this kind of information was something that not even the present people were aware of!

Well, if he thinks about it, dragons and phoenixes don't really suit being categorized as Evil Beasts who were afraid of sunlight. This only means that they are in whole different categories of creatures.

At this point, Reiji wouldn't be surprised if the Orcs, Elves, Fairies, Dwarves, and many other intelligent beings were also brought from another world.

"Then, what about their Spiritual Pressure?" Reiji asked.

"Yes, only Divine Artifacts and some Ancient Items were known to have such pressure, Master…"

"Wait, aren't use an Ancient Cursed Arcana? You're not normal. Does it mean that you can also put Spiritual Pressure?"

"Yes, Master… I was too weak during our battle before. So I don't have any excess energy to use that pressure."

Reiji then asked Szaaz about the Ancient Items as well. After all, he has this Ancient Arcane Stone with him that even the Sword Deity decided to fix for him.

The Cursed Arcana obliged and told him everything he knew.

Reiji then learned that the Ancient Items were things that were naturally made by this world without the interference of the Deities. They can actually be considered as wonders of the world!

On the other hand, the Divine Artifacts were actually items that were left behind by the true god of this world!

"The true god?" Reiji was confused. He thought that only the Deities are working here.

"Yes… However, I heard from Crol that the true god of this world has disappeared… It was only after confirming his absence that various lower-level deities started spreading their influence here…"

Reiji recalled that Crol is the name of the Deadly Poison Deity who blessed or perhaps, cursed the Trident Arcana.**

This is such an interesting story. The two then talked about these things for quite a while before deciding that it was enough…

Anyway, Reiji also wanted to give a task to this new slave that he marked. Seeing how strong he and knowledgeable he is, he knows that this Trident Arcana would be very helpful to complete his last killing spree mission.

Once he completed that, he would only have to worry about the blood donations of his wielders and he should be able to complete that as well within a month to avoid draining them.

***

A few days had passed and the Martial Arts Training Hall at Bhibra Village has become lively because the practitioners of the two other villages have decided to stay here to learn directly from the guardians.

Of course, Reiji trained all his direct students with his Spiritual Pressure to help them increase their Spiritual Energy units.

Aside from that, Reiji had also decided to give a gift to Stasis, he gave the Autumn Wyvern Scarf to him as a special gift since he became the finest Miyazaki Sword Style Practitioner of his batch.

The scarf is the one he found together with the mysterious skeleton he found in the cavern.

It has a Mass Heal and Runic Flight ability and seems to be very suited to him as he acts as a good leader of the young practitioners…

He has fine qualities of being a leader and everyone would agree with him with that.

Even the elders recognize his talent and charisma as an Arcanist. It wouldn't be surprising if Stasis became the head of the three villages in the future at all!

"Master, this year's Beast Wave is about to happen… We only have three weeks left in our preparation…" Ruthren reported after entering Reiji's room.

"I see… Will there be any changes to the plan?" The sentient Arcana asked.

"Yes, Master… It seems that the Elders have noticed that the Harpies from the east will join the Gryphons in attacking this place. This Beast Wave might be more dangerous than the previous ones we fought." Ruthren explained.

"Harpies and Gryphons, huh… I understand, just coordinate with the elders. We will act on our own just like the previous Beast Waves that we fought with them."

"I understand, Master…" The sword slave then left the room and participated in the Elder's discussion to stop the Beast Wave.
