Chapter 78: Celeste and Amy (3)
"Huh? That doesn't make sense at all." Elara said trying to understand the whole story.
"So, you died, but didn't really die?" Raven asked
"Somewhat. According to Luna none of those 21 years of life were real. It was something set up by my mother. She wanted me to experience to the lesser things in life before I was born."
"That's a bit harsh, isn't it?" Raven asked.
"Where's your mother now?" Elara asked a different question.
"Well, I guess it was a bit harsh. But she gave me many gifts that made things okay." Akasha said with a smile. And as if the world itself was responding the wind suddenly picked up and even leaves began to float around.
The leaves began to form letters and when it finished, they read.
'I'm glad you enjoyed the gifts, love~' They stayed this way just long enough for the trio to read it. Seeing this Akasha nearly jumped out of his seat.
"The fuck?!" He exclaimed. He totally forgot about Elara's question. Right now, he had one thing on his mind.
'Mother, what are you truly?'
The girls were just as shocked.
"A-Akasha, is your mom perhaps here right now?" Elara muttered.
"Haaa, honestly I don't know who, what or where she is. I was once told that she is everywhere, but yet nowhere all at the same time." He said to Elara as he sighed.
Raven to the side was about to speak, but the something caught her eye.
Four people were just teleported out of one of the dungeons. It was two males and two females. The two females were tied with a rope and the males were currently holding each one. One of the males looked to be in a rough condition, but he still moved with haste.
"Akasha look over there." Raven said pointing in the direction.
"Hmm?" Akasha raised his eyebrow as he snapped out of his thoughts. He looked over and saw the group of four.
He appraised the two women tied up.

Seeing their status, he smiled and spoke
"Perfect! Let's go and help those two out."
After he said this, he teleported the three of them right in front of John and Paul.
"Shit!"
"W-who the hell are you people?"
The two men were startled seeing people randomly appear in front of them.
Akasha ignored them and looked at Raven and Elara.
"Should I just kill them?" He asked them
"Nah, let me do it. I want to try something new." Raven said with a smile.
The blood pools in her eyes shined as she said
|Law of Bloodlust|
|Law of Destructive Space|
|Blood Extinguisher|
As she said those words in succession the bodies of John and Paul froze. Then in the next moment the ground was covered in a big pool of blood. The bodies of the two men withered instantly.
Every single drop of their blood was gone.
Raven used her Law of Bloodlust and her newly formed Law of Destructive Space to power a new skill of hers. This combination allowed her to extinguish a person's blood.
This could be done in a bunch of ways, but this time she decided to separate the blood from the body completely. The two men died not even knowing how.
Their bodies fell to the ground and Elara caught both Amy and Celeste before they fell into the pools of blood.
She helped them out of the ropes and the two women immediately expressed their gratitude.
"T-thank you for saving us!" They said as they looked at the trio. The three people in front of them were all divinely beautiful. Their faces went red just looking at them.
Seeing the two women looking shy Akasha smiled and asked simply.
"Do you guys want to become stronger?"
It was a simple question, but when the girls heard it they didn't immediately answer. They looked at each other before asking
"What's the catch?" Celeste asked
"No catch. You will be the first two members of my personal force. I will provide you with the best of the best resources and I will also help you two evolve to become stronger. All I need is loyalty." He said while smiling.
Hearing this Celeste and Amy went silent again. They then looked at Raven and Elara, maybe seeing these two women made their decision a bit easier.
Celeste and Amy nodded their heads.
"We agree, but we are currently members of a sect. They will probably notice if we go missing." Amy spoke up this time.
"Don't worry about that. They won't be able to do anything to you anyways." Akasha said before he continued.
"For now, you two can travel with us. We have a few more days left on our little vacation after we finish you two will begin your training."
Hearing this the two girls didn't refute. The simply nodded then followed the trio as they returned to the carriage.
"Where to next?" Raven asked
"Let's explore more of the northern continent. Once we finish, I can simply teleport us back to the Academy." Akasha said.
"Wait! You're students at the Academy?!" Celeste exclaimed. She and Amy were both sitting across from the trio on the other couch.
"Hehe, yea we are first year students." Elara said while giggling.
"Why are you all the way in the Northern Continent then?" Amy asked
"Well, as he told you guys. We are on a little 'vacation' and we need to recruit members for our force." Elara replied politely
Amy and Celeste nodded their heads to this, and they sat and enjoyed the ride.

While Akasha and the others were on a vacation the six guardians of Kalpa were currently gathered.
Each of them stood facing each other forming something like a circle.
Taking the lead was a lady. She appeared to be in her 30s, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Looking at the others she said
"The seventh one of us has appeared recently. He is currently a student in The Academy."
After she said this a image projection appeared and on it was
"Jovian Savant he is also a seer known as an Oracle." The woman spoke.
