Dark Saviors

Chapter 42's

After the four of them had finished their nostalgia, they sat by the pool on a pillar that had just been destroyed by the battle of Seiji and Hitoshi,

“Alright, now that we have our nostalgia and face the reality, now that we are in a world called Astoria, I have been here from about 12 years ago, I have been here, just when I died on earth. I was moved here after passing 10 deaths, of course the three of you are also the same.” Hitoshi.

“Hmm 12 years ago yes, I came here about 10 years ago.” Seiji.

“Me and Sei-niichan alike..” Reiko.

“I haven't been here long, just a few days ago.” Reply Iroha.

“Ok I understand, now I explain why I am here..”.

Hitoshi said the first time he came to the ruins of the ancient city, monsters nesting within the city, Hitoshi finished off the entire monster roaming the ruins of the city until there was nothing left. Then he investigated the city and learned the fact that the immortals did not leave, but fought to the death and this ruined ancient city was his witness. His notes are inside a building, Hitoshi takes them and shows them to Seiji, Reiko and Iroha. After reading it,

“If according to Joshua-ossan's book, immortals return to his realm Seiji.

“Ah padre Joshua, I also met him before entering here.Honestly, at first I also had a hard time accepting it, but the reality is like that. We can see the ruins of this city and compare it with the record.I believe more with what I saw.” Hitoshi.

“In the written book there are ten immortals, five are children of the Presiphone and five are children of Raphaela Reply Reiko.

“Ya, five against five with the same ability.result in a series in the sense of all dead.” Hitoshi.

“Agrible..” Iroha.

“But why did they fight ?” Ask Seiji.

“Because of the race to get into that tower..” Hitoshi pointed backwards using a thumb.

“I don't understand..” Seiji.

“Come with me, we go to the tower door..” Reply Hitoshi.

The four of them stood up and immediately ran at incredible speed towards the tower that was in the middle of the back of the city. After arriving, the four of them stood in front of the tower.

“Excellent...” Said Reiko while looking up.

“It turns out this tower is large...very large..only width up to 100 meters.” Seiji.

“True...ayo come with me..” Take Hitoshi.

“Uh..up stairs...very high again...” Mumbled Iroha.

The four of them walked up the stairs that were high far above. While walking up,

“Indeed they go into the tower for what ?” Ask Seiji.

“Their purpose is that I still do not know.according to legend, in this tower one of the goddesses of the two twin goddesses was in parentheses and in seals.” Answer Hitoshi.

“So...so immortals intended to free the goddess..” Reply Seiji.

“Not necessarily...we still do not know for sure the reason why they fight, in the record it is only said that they fight.” Hitoshi.

“Do not immortals who confine the goddess..” Reply Reiko.

“It could be too, but I suggest you guys don't imagine being too wild to see what I want to show you.” Reply Hitoshi.

“Auh...so far..” Iroha.

“Sabar Iroha-chan, a little more..” Reply Hitoshi.

After a long journey up the stairs, they finally reached the entrance terrace. In front of them was a huge golden gate, on the right and left were statues of two goddesses as big as that gate. Hitoshi walked forward to the center of the terrace, in the middle of the terrace there are five short monuments and in the middle of the monument there is a palm sign. Hitoshi took a position on the central monument, then he inserted his palm into the palm-shaped hole in its wall. The taper section above the tuhu was lit up, the,

“Well try you guys like me..”

Seiji tried one by one four available monuments, in addition to the palm hole, on top of which there are various kinds of images, first images of humans pressed by Hitoshi, both images of demons/kijin, and the other two images of demons, Iroha directly pressed her and the monument lit up, the three daywalker/vampire images, Reiko immediately tried it and to the four werewolf images, Seiji directly pressed her. They saw four flaming pillars, but there was one pillar not burning, a human-pictured pillar with long ears.

“Less one...” Reply Seiji.

“To be precise, but not just one less..see the color of the goddess statue next to the door and compare it with the light color of the pillar.” Hitoshi.

The four of them tried again, this time they peeked to see the color of the goddess statue and it turned out that the color of the goddess statue on the left was the same as the color of the light on the pillar, which was white.

“Hmm I think I understand..” Seiji.

“What do you understand ?” Ask Hitoshi.

“The goddess on the left...Recipehone ?” Ask Seiji.

“True, my guess is so too, since we are Children of Recishones and the illuminated statue on the left is the same color, I take the conclusion that is on the left is Presiphone.” Hitoshi.

“But I was so confused yes, why only five, there should be ten pillars.” Reiko.

“If as in manga and games, usually to open the gate, both statues should be lit up simultaneously right ?” Ask Iroha.

“At first I thought like you guys, but after seeing the battle in this ancient city and added the legend in the book belonging to padre Joshua about the dispute of two goddesses, he said, I find it even more plausible that there are only five, because the confinement is the winner of the battle and means that until now there may still be immortals left, try to pay attention to this pillar pillar, he said, compared to city buildings, clearly this pillar pillar is newer and functioning well, there is a possibility that there are people who memaintenance. The winner installed this mechanism and the protector that covered this city for thousands of years.” Hitoshi.

“Plok...plok..plok...good analysis...but a little mistaken.” There was a voice of a man behind them.

The four of them turned their heads and saw Joshua climbing the stairs clapping his hands. The four of them were on standby, but Joshua raised his hand,

“Quiet first, I do not want to fight with you guys.after all I am just a ghost from the past and already can not fight.” Said Joshua.

“What does padre mean?” Ask Hitoshi.

“I mean my time is done..I beg you to take care of this tower, I pass it to you.” Said Joshua.

“I don't understand ossan..” Reply Seiji.

“Haaah..well, I use my last strength. Body modification.” Said Joshua.

Joshua's body instantly turned big and looked burly, but there was a deep scratch on his chest like a torn wound that was still red due to the great sabre. Seiji tried to peek at his status, but error, he couldn't see his status, he could only see his title, but,

“Children of Raphaela ?” Ask Seiji.

“True, I am the remaining immortals, from the great war of 3000 years ago, there are only two immortals who survived a total of 10 immortals, I am one of them from the stronghold of Raphaela. Another one that remains is a highelven from the stronghold of Presiphone.” Said Joshua.

The four of them fell silent, they noticed Joshua who now looked similar to one of the immortals statues in the city square.

The four of them looked at each other and looked at each other, they were confused as to what to say and what to ask about.

“Now, the time for you to guard this tower, my time is up, after I leave, the protector that envelops this city will disappear, but no one will be able to enter the tower except immortals.” Said Joshua.

“Why ossan go ?” Ask Iroha.

“You see my body ? let alone fighting, survival is already difficult, I was injured because of the great war first. Only immortals can kill immortals.” Answer Joshua.

“But we also can not get into the tower, still less one person..” Hitoshi.

“Let's just relax, the last immortals of the Prescription, been in this world since eight years ago, I can feel it, but he's in a far place.” Said Joshua.

“Dia where ossan ?” Ask Reiko.

“He in Grandia, lately, the kingdom of Grandia summoned many heroes from other worlds, they have a goal to control the southern continent. Although the kingdom of Alvaris is actually the same, but they never call an army of heroes from another world. I think the kingdom of Grandia is after this tower.” Joshua replied while looking towards the tower.

“Actually this tower what the hell is padre ?” Ask Hitoshi.

“Street to god's realm..” Answer Joshua.

Hearing Joshua's reply, the four of them were immediately startled, but their faces instantly turned spirited as their goal for revenge was in sight.
