2022-03-11 12:33:36After realizing that the potential in Gladio's body was more terrifying than he thought. Artorius decides to take Gladio somewhere.
The journey takes about 5 to 7 days. Along the way, Gladio looked down with withered eyes.
The boy couldn't understand at all what had happened to him. His right hand was still throbbing, but it had calmed down much more than before.
"Krik! Krik! Krik!”
The sound of crickets singing was like the sound of a night goddess singing. Gladio didn't say anything at all even on a quiet night, on the fifth day they walked there wasn't the slightest look of joy or excitement in his eyes.Artorius also feels guilty for forcing Gladio to become his disciple. If Artorius hadn't taught him magic, maybe Gladio wouldn't have felt the pain in his hand.
“Huh…!” Artorius sighed and looked up at the moon that lit them up. “What a beautiful weather!” He tried to open the topic of conversation, but Gladio just looked down and stared at the small bonfire that kept on swaying.
"Gladio!" Artorius rebuked the boy in a serious tone.
Gladio started to lift his eyes. "Uh, what's wrong?" It was a soft reply from his mouth.
“Huh… I'm sorry for the selfishness that came from me, you must have had bad days!”
There's no need to feel formal, if you feel guilty about other people. Artorius didn't want himself to regret in the future for not being able to say sorry.
Gladio was taken aback, he didn't think that a great man like Artorius would bow his head sincerely to someone like himself who was never considered a human.
“I think, Master is going too far! I don't deserve that apology, I'm just a cursed human, so it's only natural that the skills Master taught me can't learn properly!” According to Gladio, it was all because of him that caused Artorius to have a nightmare.
“Huh…!” Again Artorius couldn't make the boy's face look excited. “Gladio, I have something to say to you! This is probably the reason why I want to make you a disciple!”
The atmosphere became a little heavier, Artorius' gaze radiated an intense seriousness.
Gladio was curious as to what kind of things Artorius would say, so the atmosphere changed drastically.
“I've heard a prophecy! The ancient prophecy revealed by my master. He once said that one day a creature will appear who has the gift of two powers, namely a bright light like the sun, but also accompanied by a dark shadow like an endless abyss. That power will shake all creatures in this world! They will together find a way to defeat the creature. If I find that creature, then I am asked to lead it somewhere!”
From Artorius' words, it was clear where they were going. No need to explain anymore, Gladio already understands that he will be taken to a place. Although, he didn't know where it would take him, but he was sure that Artorius would make the right choice.
“Gladio, the place we are going to is a region where all beings will find peace, so you must be prepared! If you manage to control the wild soul within your body, you will be able to subdue that great power, but if you fail, you will become a being similar to the Demon Lord!”
Gladio was silent. He was lost in the thoughts that were in his head. Gladio wasn't so sure that he could control the wild soul that Artorius was referring to.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
"Uh?" Finally Artorius could see Gladio speaking as loosely as before. "What do you want to ask!"
"What exactly happened to me here?" Gladio began to realize that it would be impossible for him to have those creepy hands without a reason.
“I can't answer that but, if you go to this place, you will find the answer!”
“…”
Gladio just kept silent while looking at his right hand.The next day, they stepped back to continue their journey.
About three hours from their last location for the night, they came to the end of a waterfall. A wooden bridge that connects two sides of a fast flowing river.
The roar of the waterfall sounded so loud. Gladio glanced around, his heart felt very comfortable seeing the river flowing very fast.
Artorius then stopped right in the middle of the bridge, slowly turning around.
His face was still serious as before. “Gladio, this is where we will test your skills!”
A quiet area with the sound of a waterfall that is quite loud, as well a view of the gorge of a waterfall that can't be seen because of the thick fog that covers it.
“Before you do what you have to do. I want to give you a few sentences, maybe you will think that these words are not really important. But, I will still tell you!” Astorus' hands then touched Gladio's shoulders. The old man's hand felt warm against Gladio's skin. The cold air that spread around the area was defeated by the old man's warm hand.
“There are two choices that will happen to you! The first, you will die from not being able to control the turmoil of the power that is in your body, while the second you will live with great power. But after that, there will only be trouble waiting for you! I can't say what kind of problems will come your way, but the point is that these problems will still come, you must prepare for their arrival!”
Gladio looked seriously into Astorus' eyes. “Okay, I understand! now there is no time for me to regret everything. I live in this world already experiencing difficulties, if indeed I have to die, then I will accept it. But if I can live, I will try to be better!”Artorius' eyes widened then he nodded. "Then!" His head then turned towards the end of the waterfall. “You have to jump off this bridge! There you will find an answer you may have been looking for!”
It sounded ridiculous, but Gladio felt that all he heard wasn't just some deliberate prank by Artorius. Not saying much more, Gladio immediately stood on the rope bridge. Slightly swayed the bridge, it was only a rope made of strong roots that made it like a place to test your guts. Seeing the flow of the river falling into a very deep abyss gave Gladio a little worry.But, there was no reason for Gladio to back down. Very quickly Gladio jumped into the abyss.
“I will definitely find the meaning of this life…!” said Gladio when his body fell like a log.
Artorius said all the words while looking up at the cloudy sky.__To Be Continued__

Gladio and Irish stared at each other, the man had a more serious gaze than before. "Enough! Now you tell me, why and how come I am in this world?” Now that Gladio's attitude is more mature, his tone is much heavier and sounds like a grown man. Irish got goosebumps when her saw Gladio. "OK!" She took a deep breath, the worst would happen if her was rash in answering that man's words. “Long time ago, in this world there was a battle involving multiple beings. Every creature has the same goal which is to become the strongest, of the many creatures there are several that have been recognized.

Soul Eater Suddenly He Appeared
Quite a confusing opening. “So everything was planned by Artorius from the start?” Gladio became curious as to what kind of message was left for him. Slask! One page later Gladio opened. His eyes instantly bulged, in the message there was some information about the right hand that had been the location of his suffering.“Gladio, I've been trying to find out what happened to that right hand of yours! From several books and information from several people, I got something. Your right hand is a sign of a new path. That path will open a new era, destiny has given you a responsibility to change this world!” Gladio could sense Artorius' feelings, every sentence gave Gladio an idea of how serious the man was taking notes on the book. He began to turn to the next page of the book.It looks like a different page has been seen, there are several symbols and explanations listed. “Alright, this time I'll tell you everything I already know! The power that is in your right hand has extraordinary

A hint of fear in Gladio's heart arose, the huge clumps of clouds were scary enough to be looked at continuously. "What is he going to do with that black cloud?" Kakuero gave a smile and a smirking look, all of these were signs of impending evil. Gladio could only silently watch this, the man's bad intentions were clearly felt by him. “Fulgur! Perde Omnia!” In high speed a flash of light approached Gladio. Kaboom!!! Exploding lightning struck Gladio, a huge wave appeared as a result of the explosion. The strong wind that came was the embodiment of the skill's power.“Hehehe… is he dead or not?” Kakuero smirked, he really wanted to see Gladio's body that had been charred or turned to ashes from his attack. "What?!" Surprisingly, right in front of Kakuero's eyes, the man was still standing straight while giving him a sharp glare."Arrgh!" Gladio stared at his right hand, it was throbbing painfully. He groaned very loudly, the sound coming out like a dragon roaring. "Uh..." Kakuero
Soul Eater Register
Helios felt that this was indeed not an easy matter, but facing the anger of Zeradas was not something that could be considered something that he could also overcome."Now I want you to explain to me, did you really kill my angel of death?""That's right, I was certain that man was dead, but right now I don't know how he came back!""You're just making excuses! Look, if you really can't deal with him, then I'll make you regret it, now I don't want you to come to me before you completely defeat that creature!""Well!" Actually Helios could pouched Zeradas in the face, but he understood this was indeed his fault. Respecting a leader is also his duty.Leaving that room, Helios wearing high anger on his face, he couldn't understand why this had to happen."Damn, I have to find this creature as soon as possible!"***Now that Gladio has traveled south, here he is trying to blend in like a normal human being.However, he still felt the hand he was carrying would be a disaster. First was the
Soul Eater Undertaking the first quest
The card started to give a unique reaction, a red light flashed out.“Master, your card is ready!”Gladio took the card, it contained all the data about himself. "Thank you!""Well! Then you need to go to the board over there to find a quest that might be able to be carried out!”Gladio turned in the direction that woman was pointing, there was a large board plastered with paper. Gladio started walking and checked the contents of those papers.The contents of the paper contained information on quests, recruiting adventurers, and fugitives. Each quest is distinguished from the mark on the paper, for the low quest will be marked with a D, while for the highest is an S."Hmm... now what quest should I do?" Gladio was confused, he actually wanted to take on a higher and more dangerous quest, but he understood this would not be possible.His condition, which is only Bronze rank, is certainly not allowed to participate. Gladio took a random quest that had the symbol D.Then he gave that que
Soul Eater Attack From Teribble Monsters
Gladio had arrived at a small village, where the atmosphere was quite silent. However, he felt someone was watching him.Several shadows were seen, and it turned out to be the residents who gave Gladio a strange look."If I'm not mistaken this is the place of the quest I'm currently on!" A bad feeling instantly spread within his body, when Galdio turned around there was a monster that was jumping at him.Gladio's body was pounced on, the claws of that monster tearing skin and flesh.“This monster....” Gladio's hand punched that monster, sending it flying. Blood was already pouring out of his chest. “Bastard, you really seem to be looking for trouble! Ignis Scaturiens!”Gladio's fire fast rushed towards the monster, it didn't take long for that monster to scorch.The atmosphere became quiet, but not quite right, from a distance there were movements of 3 similar monsters. They have a body like a dog and can stand on two legs, each hand has claws that are so sharp.The blood on Gladio's
Soul Eater His Great Strength
“It can't be helped, these monsters think a lot of them are weak! No high-level adventurers would want to do quests like this, they would prefer to get paid for much higher quests!”Hearing this explanation made Gladio confused.“So the level of adventurers will only take on quests according to the level of what they are doing!” After facing off against those monsters, he told Gladio a the level of the quest wouldn't determine how strong or weak the opponent was.“Sir, will you be able to defeat those monster?” asked the old man, his face radiating with such high worries. This was natural because Gladio was only a low rank adventurer, it would be very difficult if they believed Gladio was able to solve this problem.“That's right, you know, I'm just a low rank adventurer! The chances to completing this quest are small, and there's no level of confidence that can force it! Here I just want to give you a warning this quest has a high potential to fail!”That old man's bodies become chil

I Try To Become Best
“Tch… this is becoming a pain! I have to cause all the creatures that have caused this to die…” Gladio mustered up enough energy to turn many monsters to ashes, it was a pity that monsters were just starting to appear right now.People experience a panic.The three high-ranking officials were very surprised by what happened, through the vision glass they saw it."That's bad, it's already started the invasion of the Demon God, he mobilized many monsters to do this heinous thing!""What about Shirona? Has she done her job?”“Of course, she is currently with Joven to make a move! They will definitely put in their best efforts!”"I hope so..."Those who were exposed to the crystal radiation became less strong, they became lethargic and preferred not to move.Alicia tried to keep herself focused. “I mustn't trouble Master Gladio...” She took an energy-boosting pill that was able to make the sluggish feeling go away. "Uh... I see, the right ingredients to deal with this are supplements that
This is True Act
The Demon God was standing atop a tall tower, scornfully looking down upon the entire region.“You feeble beings will feel this fury from me, and you must prepare for all the events that are about to occur! Good luck with your misery...”The ground suddenly shook violently, every region was confused by this incident.It wasn't long before a purple pillar emerged from the ground, this dazzling bright crystal emitting a bright light from its tip."It's bad, I feel a very strong wave coming from this pillar..." Joven said.“Yeah...” Shirona then rushed towards that pillar, but she was intercepted by monsters that appeared in large numbers.“No way, how could these monsters just appear? Was this the doing of the Demon God?”“Sure, let's destroy all these monsters...”Every light that is above the pillars are interconnected, then provide high radiation.“It's the same as those crystals, the power of the pillars makes people weak!” said Alicia who was a little dizzy.
How To Stop This
"How are conditions now?" asked the Guild Master."Right now the conditions are in a bad state, even we have tried to stop the disaster that is happening, this all seems to keep happening!" replied the head of information. “Each region has been notifying that there is a similar disaster happening there, the attacks of monsters are steadily increasing!”Everyone became tense, they had just experienced this kind of phenomenon, and had never experienced anything like this before, and it felt very strange that this had to happen."Hmm... if something like this must be a very bad thing!" said the troop chief who used to give orders to maintain security. “Guild Master, do we need troops to do this?”"For now we have to know where the protected ones are, didn't I also tell you beforehand to do various things for the sake of a precaution?""That's right, it's been done!" said the chief observer. "Unfortunately the number of enemies has gotten higher and higher, nowadays many have suffered hor
If This What Happen
“Yeah, what you said is true! It's funny that in this world everyone is strong, what happens if everyone has high combat skills?”“Many people would not be self-conscious in their actions, those with high destructive power would definitely do heinous things by killing or torturing them, and since their opponent was also strong would definitely create a war on a monstrous scale! In this world you also see that many people are weak, but capable of producing many great wars! They not only use strength, but also rely on their minds to be able to do all of this…”“Why do people take so much pleasure in terrible wars? Is it in this kind of life that there is only war that they want?”“You and I are just ordinary people, everyone also has their own will, to think of how to act clearly is a hard thing to do, and in every action it's definitely not easy to do! If indeed we have to make efforts very seriously then it must be done! If we are not able to do that, it will definitely be very diffic
Bad In Act
Gladio and Alicia have just visited a village, and are shown that the village is in a very bad state.The people inside looked pathetically dead."It's really that in strength that is too high becomes a dangerous thing, I didn't expect that great power always brings suffering..."“It's actually people who have to do those things with the abilities they have! Not everyone who has great power will do this, but you should know that the suffering of people who have great power always fights in their desires that eventually become mind control...”“Hmm… yeah, I don't know what exactly happened, but I wonder, if you who possess this kind of overwhelming power were to take action, would you give it such horror?”"What do you think? Would I give horror to creatures like these?”Alicia's eyes turned towards the corpses that died in great agony, the blood on their bodies kept turning horribly red.“I am a person who completely does not understand this kind of thing! To believe it I was already
Do You Sure About This?
“Today we faced too many monsters, and the former put up a fierce resistance! I might still be too weak to face those with high destructive power!”“There's no need for you to be upset about it, knowing a weakness is a good thing! If you're not going to be able to do anything extraordinary, then do what you can, don't force others to do what you want, but be what you do…”Slowly that girl's eyelids drooped, remembering the fight that previously occurred due to the desire she wanted for Gladio. And, this is what actually makes them have differences of opinion.“I actually feel very sorry for what happened, I myself have done something stupid, all this time I always wished I had never said that! But, I've always been like a weak girl who is completely incapable of doing various kinds of things, even though I have to believe what happened...”"Previously we discussed this, and if you want to continue to be a weak person then I won't be able to help you, you yourself have to make an effor
If You Make Its Still To Do
They were still in a state of confusion after seeing that monsters could be in the village."I heard that this monster said that he was ordered by the Demon God, this is proof that he was actually sent to do all this...""He also said earlier that his current figure has been ordered to make this resident a sacrifice, what sacrifice does he actually mean?"It is possible that until now he is still in high confusion, unable for Gladio to imagine what to do, of course if all the things that could happen would be a disaster."Everything that has happened is something that until now we can't know, even if we try to find out how it came from, it will still be a mystery..."“I don't know why this sounds a little creepy! It's possible that this problem that occurs is something that always becomes a big disaster! Master, if this kind of sacrifice continues, won't the lives of many people be disrupted?"“Yeah, that's bound to disrupt a lot of people's lives! There must have been a lot of them w

“You know that the phrase that always comes out of your mouth is actually a very useless thing, you should understand that I am here standing even stronger than you! That brainless devil figure will indeed always exist in this world!”"Shut up, you have no right to say that to me! I am one of the great beings who until now will rule over the entire area, and I am Brogu who became one of the powerful demons created by the Demon God...”Gladio narrowed his eyes. Brogu opened his mouth very wide, then an attack in the form of a high-speed ball of energy shot out. Kaboom... As fast as Alicia dodged this attack, the explosion took her by surprise. "You can't run away from me, now feel the death that you have to accept..."Brogu releases a series of high-speed energy balls, with this high-speed applying enough pressure to cause difficulties. “I can't believe that this is able to give away the fact that her strength is indeed that great…”Anxiety and doubt are certainly agitating inside

“U-Ugly... how dare you say this, are you tired of living already? I'll tear your smooth body to pieces, and after that I'll give you a horrible death, don't expect any mercy for you…”Alicia didn't talk much anymore, she just kept releasing arrows. Destroy the building that the arrow penetrated.Gladio narrowed her eyes, there was a stream of energy she saw speeding up when the arrow was released.“So you've come far enough to improve! It's not bad for you who are able to improve, I think that if you continue to believe you will definitely be able to make significant changes, and this matter will be quite serious!”Alicia continues to fight that devil consistently.Things! Things...Through its sturdy claws, every arrow that comes its way can be easily brushed aside, this is a very annoying thing.However, Alicia wouldn't stop, she continued to release a large number of arrows.“Tch... really pisses other people off...”A sound wave so powerful that its frequency could send an incomi
