The irregulars
Chapter 36
The sun has set to the high sky, afternoon came. The two rested after wandering in the forest whole morning.
Under the shade of a huge tree, they laid a picnic.
"Whoa, you brought this much Claris?" Rein was surprised, seing lots of various dishes was served.
"Hehe, yes I thought we eat more since it's tiring hunting"
"You're considerate Claris" Said Rein while taking a sandwich filled with vegetables and some meat.
"Hmm! It's delicious!" Rein brightens with his puffed cheeks, while Claris melted from the sight. "Ehe-ehehe"
"*God! What is this thing! He's too cute!" Claris zoned out.
"By the way Claris, I haven't heard of my friends for a while... Do you know something claris?" Rein asked.
"Hmm. Gen and Claude huh... Not much, all I know is they were busy, Claude was Locking himself up and studying and Gen was Getting Dragged by Princess Runa as always tries to run somewhere, I heard"
"I see"
"*He's worried for his friends... Such kind heart"
A few kilometers away, a male scream was heard.
"What that?" Rein was alarmed.
"Rein wait!" Claris blinked.
Without wasting time, Rein dashes to it, leaving Claris. And found.
Gen getting dragged by Runa and Sylvara.
"S-stop it you two! I might tear apart!" Gen wailed.
"Leave that Demon Gen!" Said Runa, pulling his left arm.
"Idiot, Geny here is bound to me as our contract haha" said Sylvara, pulling Gen right arm by one hand.
As they noticed. Rein was here.
"R-rein! Help!"
"Ehh? But" Rein hesitates.
"AHHH I feel my arms tearing off" Gen continued to wail.
"G-Gen! You can do it!" Rein cheered awkwardly.
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING REIN!"
Suddenly, an explosion in the sky has erupted.
"Boom!" A loud bang.
They all look up and saw something falling. And fell directly at Gen.
"Baam!" Gen got crushed.
"Ouch, guess air fight is a bit hard" Said Claude while smoking from the explosion with burnt shirt.
"C-claude?!" Rein asked. "Why are you falling down?!"
"Nothing, I was learning to fly"
"H..h...help..." Gen asked for help with breathless sound crushed by Claude.
"G-Gen!" Runa screamed.
"Oh Gen turned to a cooked pancake" Slyvara teased.
"Shut up! Demon!" Runa hissed while hugging Gen.
Moment later, after everything cleared up.
"So what were you guys doing here?" Claude asked, with his new clothes he took from his pocket storage ability.
"As usual. I tried to be free" Gen answered. Followed by Rein "I was hunting with Claris"
"How about you Claude, I heard you were becoming a shut-in" Gen asked.
"... I was not, I was simply training my abilities"
"... It seems you guys got stronger huh" said Gen.
"Well... I did get another life force from a monster, I was planning to fill all my life force slots" said Rein.
"Ohh, that seems cool. Let me come with you, I also wanted to train more. And I feel like chained lately" Said Gen.
"Then let me come too, it's more efficient" Claude recommend.
Rein Beamed up. "Really! That's Great guy".
"*Kukuku, I can finally use my demonifaction ability, with this two I won't fear if somehow I lose control, and I will know what level of strength these two has now" Gen thoughts
"*Great, I need this for expanding my spiritual control, then I can finally form my self spiritual contract" Claude thought.
"*Whoa, back in the day, were fighting together again" Rein thought.
Hours of walking in the forest, the sun has set between mountains.
"Oh, it's getting Night" said Gen.
They set their camp, from their spatial "Pocket storage" ability.
Rein collected fallen Branches with Gen. And put in together in circle.
Claude lit it up with his Pyromancy and created a campfire. Claris started to cook.
"It's almost done guys!" Claris shouted.
Moments later, the night has come, and so their food was cooked.
"Hey Guys... I know you all said that you were summoned and granted a heavy mission... But..." Claris brought a topic.
"We did, but it's on to you to believe it Claris. Even thou i was forcefully summoned here with a mission, I didn't regret it" Gen answered.
"*Was Gen happy because of me? Right?" Runa got delusional, as her eyes was filled with joy.
"Yeah Claris... To be honest, you were a huge part that made me like this world" said Rein, unaware. As Claris just turned Tomato Red beside him.
"hmmm... Thou our mission is unity... We don't have much details of the 7 virtues and sins yet" said Gen.
"Only stories and fairytales are mentioned about them in books, what I only know is their legends and some stuff" said Runa.
"Care to tell us Runa" Gen asked. "Please, I didn't git enough time to read fairytales" said Claude.
"Okay, ahem!. Then let's start about the Virtue of Gratefulness, the Hero Alexander"
"Alexander the Great Hero was given the power of the Divine Gods, it was the power of Sharing to defeat the sins. His powers are as long as humanity or any living being hopes for his strength, he grows stronger"
"I see... Like All for one or that alien monkey Giant white ball" said Gen.
"Any other details?" Claude asked.
"Alexander was known as the "HERO" of all, said that he is one and only. They said that thousand years ago, he once cut a whole mountain along with the elder dragon of calamity "Ashdrake" that brings destruction to it's Path, with a single slash. It was a popular story among humans".
"Ohhh he's the type of person I wanna met, thou if it's now a fairytale, then he must be dead right?" Said Gen.
"No, he is alive"
"Ehh?" Gen was Surprised.
"The virtue and sins cannot cease to exist. They will die but they will return after years... King Alexander already had countless reincarnation"
"Ehhhhh...." Gen was shock, at the same time was Intrigued.
"Well, for us, that's a big Discovery" said Claude who was also amazed.
"Then I tell you all about i know, you all didn't tell me, some interesting topic was on" said Sylvara, who just woke up from Gen's shadow.
"Yup, I clearly forgot you" said Gen.
"How mean" Sylvara teased.
"No, it's better if you forget about the demon Gen" Runa commented.
"Anyway, just continue Sylvara" Claude asked, who got enough of disturbance.
"Ahem. Alright, let's start about the 7 sins that I know... Okay let's start about the sin of "Wrath -Satan".
"Yeah we all know, he's a famous demon who destroys all" Runa interrups out of hate.
"Gen, shut the hell out of this scary Necro cursed princess" Slyvara ordered Gen.
"Yup" Gen agreed.
"Let's continue. Among all demon race, there are hierarchies, my race was among the top. Now Satan race was from the bottom, he was weak originally, however his anger and rage made him raise to the top, the Abyssal gods got intrigued by his talent and was gifted infinite power in exchange for his sanity while raging. I saw His power once activated and it was hell, three overlords and a demon lord came to stop his from wiping out the demon realm"
"By the way. Demon lord's are the (sins) chisen by the abyssal Gods and Overlords are (Primordial Demons) who also compare to the sins" Sylvara added.
"There are 15 archangels and overlords, most of them are unknown but I can guarantee that they are extremely strong"
"Ohh how strong exactly?" Gen asked, excitedly.
"One of them can erase a whole continent in a day or bend the concepts of time, space or break all limits to infinity, if I say"
"Demn, that's juicy" Gen was satisfied.
"Let's talk about the 7 sins and virtues first " Claude recommended.
"Alright, thou I only explain the demon part, the virtues should be explained by some human, it's tiring to speak"
"Now, the 7 sins are Satan the wrath, Lucifer the Pride, Elizabeth the Greed, Alice the Envy, Astarte the lust, Abyss the Sloth, and Niphilim the Glutton"
"Let's start with Lucifer, he's a famous Archangel of betrayal due to his pride, and was chosen by the Abyssal Gods as the sin of Pride, it's known that everytime he's damaged or dies and came back to life and he grows more stronger"
"Next it's Elizabeth, she is a Vampire and a very primordial one. However shes different of that other vampires, as she turned one not from evolving as an undead over centuries, but by becoming one in an instant because of the Overlord Lilith that granted her Greedy wish for eternal youth, it's said that any of her wish can be granted by sacrificing lives"
"Next is The first Witch Alice, also known as the mother of witches. Her curses is the most thing you don't wanna get, even the Archangel Michael were got Cursed by her eternally, it's said that Her power comes from a certain abyssal God that pitied her, the Goddess of Curse, that's why witch are known as evil God worshipers"
"Next is Astarte, that bitch!. Her father the Overlord Asmodeus gave his position as the sin of lust to his daughter, and her mother is Lilith, such an annoying family. It's said that all sanity from all living being will be destroyed and incurable by any means and will fall to desires, which strengthens her powers"
"Next is abyss... There's only a little information about that Dragon but, He is one of the Dragon God or primordial Dragons Created by both Divine and Abyssal Gods, thou those Dragons are now hiding due to their rebel, but this one doesn't care and even killed a lot of being in his wake. It's said that angels and demons once cooperated to stop this dragon and put it to sleep again"
"And finally, the last is Niphilim, the Great Giant. To be honest, the True Glutton was Beelzebub an Overlord... However he also gave his position because Niphilim amused him by its insatiable hunger and appetites"
A few seconds of silence.
"Wow, a lot of information came but, to think Sylvara would say a lot, it's seems I own you huh" said Gen.
"Of course! That's the only reason why I did, now you better pay" sylvara Grins.
