Conquest: Life in a VR

Sacred Arms

When Toda woke he saw everyone was around him, he asked them if they killed the monster, they told him that he took out the Anubis and passed out, he became shocked because he only used up 95% of his cp and no physical damage was done by the Anubis, he got up and then asked where they were, they replied him saying they were at Henmer Dynasty and that he had passed out for two days, he was shocked saying to himself, 'my cp wasn't completely drained so why would i be out for two whole days.' He looked to Gaius and thanked him for letting him stay at the Inn, Gaius smiled and said to him, "oh, you're at my mansion and i told my father about you, someone like you who has mastered the lightening strike style surely is an asset, the third strike consumes a lot of energy, so for you to have done it without magic of enhanced physic, you should really be strong, you know what?, get changed we're heading out for a brief sightseeing."

Toda had already freshened up, apparently, when he arrived in the world, he was with a rucksack, he decided he'd stop making things he needed appear out of the blue, so he equipped everything he'd need on him, he and Gaius moved through the town going through shops and restaurants and then they got to a magic shop, Gaius insisted he wanted to get Toda a magic equipment seeing as he didn't have any and the only object of self-defense 'his sword' had gone beyond it's limits as it had cracks all over, after much persisting, Toda gave in, Gaius asked the shop owner to get his best equipments, he brought them out, in all of them, the only thing that caught Toda's eyes was a black lengthy coat and an old blade with the initials of a dragons head on its sheath, Toda drew the blade from its sheath and he could see the name 'EROS' engraved on it, when he put it back, he told Gaius that was the one that he wanted, the shop owner laughed asking if he was joking, Toda smiled and told him he was serious.

The shop owner told them, "You see, this sword and this coat are legendary items, legendary in the sense that they are of antiquity and no one from our time can use it, when they came to my shop, the one who brought them said he was attacked by a monster and all he had on him was that blade, but even as he used them in self-defense he escaped by a narrow gap as the blade is dull, but if you insist, the twilight coat cost 2 silver Chronos, while the sword cost 90 bronze Chronos." Gaius paid the shop owner the requested amount, once Toda put on the coat he got a message, 'Twilight Aegisthus equipped, you have now gain the ability to repel and vanish all magic attacks of high rate damage directed at you.' "Wow so much power from a coat, let's see what the sword does" When Toda collected the sword, he got a message.

'Sacred Arms EROS acquired.' That was the only message he got, he looked to Gaius and asked what a sacred arm was, Gaius smiled replying, "once in the history of the northern Empire of Khetis, the two categories of celestials to exist were the Rune and the Arcane, Rune being the power of light and arcane, Darkness, the then father of the Runes 'CHRONOS' brought about a decree, you see the celestials were losing their power and were about to fade from the physical realm, while they were around all sorts of war and evil seized and so Chronos feared that if they one day lose their connection to the human world endless war and killings would break out, he then called on all the strongest gods, these gods were eight in total, he proposed to them that each one bless a weapon with the last of their power, if they did so they'd cut their connection to the human world, but the one who wields it can draw from their power even when they are gone, once that was done, they would send another god to use the last of his strength to deliver the arms to the six great kingdom within the empire, and the last one be given to the empire itself 'Khetis Empire' all the six gods worked on their arms, while the remaining two, the rune god 'Chronos' and the arcane god 'Erasmus', the strongest gods to ever exist both put all their power in the arm they selected and so they vanished leaving all the arms behind, there was a Sword, an Axe, a Bow, a Spear, a Scythe, a staff and a blood Chain and these seven arms are the Sacred Arms, these weapons were said to either make or mar the world, if gathered together they could open a portal to the demon world." After hearing this he felt he was in danger, the shop owner was shocked Toda didn't know what a sacred arm was, Gaius explain to him that Toda was a sage from another kingdom training to end conflict resolution, after they bought everything they needed they moved, Toda then asked Gaius if he there was a place he could checkout his magic, Gaius then asked him what his spirit was, Toda replied him saying he didn't know, he said he spent most of his time training physically and he would like someone to give him a full rundown of how spirits work, Gaius then replied him, "we don't choose our spirits they choose us, i for example, i was chosen by the Dragon Prince Zotan, as such i have an aptitude for fire and air, first we'll head for the Adventurers guild, once we're there you'll be taken to the 'Whispering pond' where you'll call the spirits, then if you are lucky enough you'll get high ranked spirits who are direct descendants of the old gods."

Toda smiled and replied, "let's head to the guild then."
