Chapter 236 - Wanted Man
"Champions are anomalies on this world, all of sudden, normal humans become something else, however, among champions there is clear distinction, the normal champions and the elemental ones, the elementals are the champions that have… let's call it an extra, and that is our invulnerable form" Said Mirana.
"Invulnerable form?" Asked Io.
"That's right, the invulnerable form is a special way that let us become invulnerable to physical and soul attacks… at least for some time, of course, if we could use this ability infinitely, we wouldn't be afraid of even emperors and the such… we can use this ability only once, after that, we must paid a heavy penalty… and that price is to lose our powers as a champion" Said Mirana.
"Lo-lose your powers!?" Asked Io.
"Exactly, as for why, well, there is a good reason… the invulnerable form not only give us a practically immortal body for some time… it give us another plus…" Said mirana while taking a deep breath.
"We can summon a god, of course, the god will take our body"
"What!?" Io was surprised.
Not only her, everyone was surprised, the only ones who weren't surprised were Alfonso and Artemis, however, that was because they had heard this before they came.
"The manifestation of a god is only possible when you are on the emperor level that is basis, however, have you ever asked, why this happen?" Asked Mirana.
Nobody answered.
"The reason is simple, the human body can't support the incredible will of a god, the champion in question will shatter without leaving anything behind, however, emperors are different, they have their own will power that is in harmony with the will of a god, that's why, their bodies don't get crushed by the god itself" Said Mirana.
"So, the reason an elemental champion can summon a god is because of their invulnerable form right?" Said Artemis.
"Correct, in our invulnerable form, our physical body can't get crushed by the will of a god, on the other hand, is consumes a lot of soul power to summon a god, that's why, after the invulnerable form ends, the god will leave the body taking a good amount of it, that's why, the champion will lose their powers as a champion" Explained Mirana.
"I see…" Said Io.
"That's why people are scared of us, even kings, because we call go in all suicide attack that guarantees that our opponent will die with us" Chuckled Mirana.
"Quite the nasty ability" Said Alfonso.
"It's a once-in-a-time saver, however, yes it is" Said Mirana.
"How long can you remain in your invulnerable form without summoning a god?" Asked Demeter.
"Once every ten years" Said Mirana.
"That long?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yes"
"How many elemental champions are by the way?" Asked Artemis.
"As far as I know, there is five, the thunder emperor, Karl Boltor; the queen of winds, Alisson Veritia; The scorching sun, Reynold Terkin; The night king, Invincible Underheavens and me" Said Mirana.
"Three of the four dragon families… then, what about the Pentagate family?" Asked Io.
"The Pentagate family is incredible mysterious, although the young masters of the Pentagate family are always on the light, the master of the family, doesn't appear on the public" Said MIrana.
"Isnt the master of the family the father of Lucio?" Asked Alfonso.
"No, the master of the Pentagate family is an old foggy, nobody knows how he does it, but, he has lived since the epoch of the first generation of the Lockheart family, however there is something that everyone champion knows…"
"He isn't a champion" Said Mirana.
"What!?" Alfonso was stunned.
The master of the Pentagate family wasn't a champion!?
"Impossible!" Said Alfonso.
"My mom has been an important person since she become a champion, whatever she says, is true" Said Dimitri.
"But… how are you so sure about it?" Asked Alfonso.
"Because of his special ability" Interrupted Dionysius.
"What do you mean?"
"Immortally is only an ability that gods can have, no human should ever step in the boundaries of immortality, no god would give a mortal the ability to live forever" Said Dionysius.
"Exactly, that's why, he, by no means, is a champion, even now, people are trying to figure out, what the hell is that guy, among the four families, the Pentagate family maybe the weakest, however, not even the emperor himself would dare to push the Pentagate family to the limit" Said Mirana.
"I see…" Said Alfonso.
"The Pentagate family, it seems that I have to be more careful with them…" Thought Alfonso,
"Anyway, the think that matters here is that, we will try to make an antidote here, for the deathly disease by summoning the water goddess, Maria" Explained Alfonso.
"How are you planning to do that? A god isn't someone that you can causally ask things… you know that better than anyone" Said Aphrodite.
"In my invulnerable form, I transform into an aquatic form, when the goddess descend, the water in my body will have the energy of a goddess, it will be more than enough to take a little bit of the water and that should do the trick" Said Mirana.
"It's a good plan, hwoever, we will only have ten seconds before the summoning ends and I go back to my human form, by then, I won't have my power as a champion and the disease will spread onto my body, I would only have one hour before I die" Said Mirana.
"That's why, Hygeia, before making anything, you would go to the other room and take all the preparations you need to make the antidote, remember you will only have fifty nine minutes, at the most to prepare the antidote" Said Alfonso.
Hygeia panicked.
"I know is a lot, however, you are an extraordinary medic, I know you will do it" Said Alfonso.
Hygeia nodded.
"Dimitri"
"Yes?"
"You remember our deal right?" Said Alfonso.
"Yes, I know" Said Dimitri.
"Good, then, go and make your preparations Hygeia, we will start when you are ready" Said Alfonso.
"G-got it"
..........................................…..
An hour later, Hygeia gave the signal and went to the other room.
Everyone make a circle around Mirana.
"Everything is ready" Said Alfonso.
Mirana nodded.
She looked back at Dimitri who looked anxious.
"Don't worry, It will be fine" Said Mirana.
"Mom…"
Mirana took a deep breath and closed her eyes
"Let's start"
The soul power on the environment began to condense.
"Incredible, so this is the power on elemental champion" Though Alfonso.
The soul particles began to take a blue color and gathered around Mirana.
"[Aquatic Form]"
Mirana's body began to transform, It took a deep blue color.
It started with her fingers, all the way to her chest and finally her head, everything transformed into water.
Mirana opened her eyes and her iris had disappeared leaving only white.
"[GOD SUMMONING]!" Shouted Mirana.
*PUM* *PUM*
Thunder suddenly descended from the skies.
The rain began to intensify.
"Is this goes on, this will not be rain anymore but a flood!" Shouted Alfonso.
The drops of water increased their size and speed, the clouds in the skies were as dark as the night.
"Ugh!"
Everyone felt their souls trembling.
"Dimitri! Io!" Shouted Alfonso.
"Don't worry, these two had a weak soul power, that's why they blacked out" Said Demeter.
Alfonso's soul power, as well as the other four gods created a small barrier that deflected the pressure, however, they couldn't help but kneel on the floor.
"And this is only 1% of the soul power of a god" Added Dionysius.
"Fuck me" Though Alfonso.
Finally, Mirana stood up, she stretched her body while looking at her surroundings.
She looked at Alfonso and Alfonso couldn't help but bleed from his eyes and ears.
"Mortal, you are the one that we are looking for" Said 'Mirana' in an imposing voice.
