Chapter 3 Goddess of Death Runesia

As the most authoritative person in the entire Blessed Island, Archbishop Malgusa can mobilize far more power than Josh imagined.

Dozens of mages from the architectural school performed their duties, using "holy stones" to extract spiritual magic from the spiritual world, manipulating the rocks and shaping them. Soon, they built a structure for Josh near a stream near the darkin weapon.

A two-story mansion starting from 200 square meters.

The living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom are all equipped, and there are even three independent bathrooms with "sacred stones" as the energy supply core and maintained through magic. Each has a bathtub with different temperatures that exudes the fragrance of sea salt and essential oils.

And for such a huge project, from mobilizing personnel, transporting materials, digging foundations, dredging sewer channels to building a magic circle, it was almost completed by the time the sun went down. The whole process only took a few hours.

Josh, who was watching from the sidelines and watching a movie immersively, couldn't help but be amazed.

To be more precise, compared to the special effects seen in movies, this kind of scene seen with one's own eyes has a completely different sense.

It seemed that she felt the changes in Josh's emotions. Even if she was "shielded" by him and could not detect his thoughts, the female dark descendant who had lived for unknown years could still see through Josh's thoughts.

[Tsk, Shurima has fallen for thousands of years, and we darklings have been sealed again. Haven’t you humans’ magic fallen to this level? 】

[With so many people, not even one can open up the magic circuit in the body. They have to rely on external objects to cast spells, relying on broken stones that extract the power of the spiritual realm. 】

[You should really take a look at the glorious times of our empire. Under the spell of the sun priest, the sun disk that forged the gods was filled with astral power falling from the sky. It rose into the sky in an instant, bringing vitality to Shurima.

The flourishing oasis of dawn and hundreds of Ascended Ones...]

How desolate it would be to look back at the past and see only loneliness.

Hearing this familiar name again, Josh raised his eyebrows and quickly thought of a character - Rune Mage Ryze!

Tyrus is my master, and Ryze during the Blessed Island period was Tyrus’ apprentice...

[Hmph! You obviously have such outstanding arcane talent, but at this age, you can't even draw a single arcane rune. What a waste! 】

"The place where you live has been built, come and take a look." Margusa stood a few steps away from Josh and said in a deep voice.

Archbishop Margusa, who had been busy all the time and now finally had a moment to breathe, came over, told the soldiers who had been guarding Josh for several hours, and dismissed them.

[I also protected them in the early stages of the Darkin War...]

Josh tried his best to focus on Malgusa's voice and listened to her continue: "Although I don't know why you were not affected by the Darkin weapon, since you are still awake, I don't need to be afraid of anything.

[Although you claim to have amnesia, you still know my weapon, Dance of Death, so you must have heard of me, right? 】

"You are so close to me, aren't you afraid that I am really like that... the one who looks a lot like a toad said that my personality was disguised by the Dark One who took over my mind and took this opportunity to kill you?

"

Josh was quite embarrassed and tried to pretend as if nothing had happened. He coughed twice and said, "Ahem, I heard a little bit, I heard a little bit..."

[Alas, it’s a pity...our time has passed for too long...]

Lunessia was a little discouraged, and said in Josh's mind: [Damn it, I opened up territory for Shurima, and I almost died in the Void War... Those historians, my hometown, the Garden City, they...

No one praises me?】

Unfortunately, the confinement "hut" built for Josh in the distance has been completed.

"Shurima's glory will return."

Josh ignored Lunessia. Out of courtesy, he stood up and held the handle of the Dance of Death knife with his backhand, keeping the long knife's blade close to his right arm.

"Before the Valkyrie was completely eroded by the power of corruption, she took a boat to the First Land in the north of Blessed Light Island, and ordered her followers to bury herself and the Darkin Longbow alive at the bottom of a lightless well."

Then, she raised her chin towards Josh, motioning for him to follow her, and turned towards the two-story mansion that had just been built not far away.

[Hmph, that’s right.] Lunessia hummed softly.

It just has to wait a thousand years before Azir, the last emperor of Shurima, will return in an ascended form.

"Shh--please keep your voice down, you're disturbing me from listening to her!"

[Longbow...wait, longbow! That's Varus's weapon...yes, that's right!]

Especially what is the bond between her and Aatrox, and more stories about this legendary ascendant.

Josh could imagine the female Darkseid's proud smile as if her body was still alive.

"According to the records about the Darkin that I have learned about in the Hylia Library, during the Darkin War, a Valkyrie used a Darkin longbow to fight against other Darkin.

You know, one of Josh's favorite heroes is the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox.

"But I am the person in charge, the Archbishop of the Light Blessed Sect. I am responsible for the personal safety of the people of Hylia, so I cannot let you go back for the time being."

The dance of death amber vertical pupils on the legs of Josh, who was sitting cross-legged, turned to look at Josh, who was looking at the completion of the construction progress in the distance.

"I'll be back," Josh said.

Speaking of which, comparing the most familiar dark descendant sword Aatrox, the longbow Varus and the giant scythe Rhaast in his mind, Josh found that although Runesia also wanted to occupy a physical body and get rid of the seal, she seemed to have not changed.

Too crazy.

【Since you asked sincerely!】

Therefore, unlike Aatrox who learned the truth, she attempted to destroy the entire world in exchange for her death being annihilated along with it.

[Did you hear that, Josh, Varus is in the First Land, we must rescue him!]

"Okay, just say a few words less." Josh sighed silently, and mentally communicated with Lunessia: "You have been talking all afternoon, please let me be quiet for a while, please?"

[I really don’t understand, why do you have to be a coward, compromise with this group of trash, and stay on this broken island? Why don’t you come back to Shurima with me, or go to the First Land where you want to go...

…]

However, she only talked about some daily anecdotes and trivial matters. She didn't mention anything about her life experience or her relationship with other ascended people.

Even Josh, who only knew about the Ascension Empire from texts before traveling through time, couldn't help but be touched by the female dark descendant's tone, and he couldn't help but feel a little eager in his heart.

[Look, hypocritical guy, she finally talked about your magic talent. I thought these idiots didn’t know about it.] Lunessia said in a teasing tone.

[Varus, my comrade in uniform, he has saved me many times in the Void War!]

【……】

"I know you, Josh, just like your master Tyrus. You are a good boy. You have had outstanding magical talent since you were a child. I believe you will be able to overcome the difficulties.

Josh didn't know Runesia, so he was curious about her origins and her status among the Ascended ones.

The female darkin's voice gradually changed from disdain for the people of the Blessed Islands to pride and affection for being a people of Shurima, with a faint hint of regretful reminiscence.

【Hopefully.】

【Um?】

"Hahaha, what you are holding is a living weapon that seals the dark descendants. They were once the gods of Shurima. If you really want to do it, I don't think anyone here can stop you."

The more people hide something, the more problems they have, and the same is true for gods who possess mortal souls.

Uh... I'm sorry, I really don't know about this. I only know the equipment in the game called Dance of Death.

[Have you ever thought about why you are so weak, Josh? It's because they are jealous of your talent and afraid of your talent! A rune mage with outstanding talent is far more than a bunch of inferior goods who still need to rely on external objects to cast magic.

!]

[Hey, your tone doesn’t sound positive at all!]

Perhaps, Lunessia didn't know that the body-snatchers could not escape the seal, and even the weapons that imprisoned them could not be destroyed by any known means.

While Josh was meditating, Lunessia happily recounted the story of how Shurima was still at its peak before the Ascension Queen Setaka died in the Void War.

"After some time, your master and your junior brother Ryze should be able to finish their exploration. At that time, I will ask Tyrus to tell you more about your past, before you lost your memory.

story."

Just as he was speaking, Margusa suddenly stopped and said without looking back: "Oh, I almost forgot one thing. Elder Bartek cannot listen to what you just said. He hates people saying he looks like a toad.

Already."

As soon as she heard Margusa's story, Lunishia suddenly became excited and yelled in Josh's head.

Noticing that Josh was slightly lost in thought, Margusa stopped talking and waited quietly for his thoughts to return to reality.

Margussa's laughter was like the harsh "crack" sound of saw teeth pulling through wood, which could not bring out the kind smile on her face at all.

"By the way, I almost forgot." Josh retracted his gaze, lowered his head and looked into the vertical pupils of the sword, "I don't know your name yet."

Doesn’t this mean that I am Ryze’s senior brother?!

Josh's jaw almost dropped.

Tyrus...

Josh added in his heart.

At the mention of this, the Dance of Death blade trembled suddenly, as if it was very excited.

The female Darkin was silent for a moment.

She paused for a moment, [I am the glory of the Garden City, dancing with death, the great god in charge of the power of death in the Shurima Empire - the goddess of death, Lunessia! ]
