Darius re-appeared in Safemoon, right on his Mage Tower's highest floor. He turned and gazed at the swirling portal that could take him anywhere on Fallon on a one-way trip with nostalgia, as this was where he had left with Gunner and Xela back then.
He then faced Achilles and Medea. "The two of you, select rooms on the first floor and make yourself scarce. The Maidbots will handle your needs for the next few days until we are ready to initiate your purposes."
Both of them bowed reverently before leaving. Darius then turned to Gunner and Xela.
"It's about time we went to look for the newest member of our family. Since Foldo helped me find the two of you, let's pay his operation a visit after we check in on the Divine Glade."
Xela seemed excited by the prospect as this was her first time witnessing a new Branded Servant being added, while Gunner was calm as usual. He only seemed lightly interested as whoever joined them would become family to him.
Darius then Fast Traveled to the Divine Glade right away. He wanted to check on its status quickly before returning to Safemoon, as it had been a while since he had last paid it a visit.
When they arrived though, the trio was given a shock. The area which was usually vibrant and glowy due to the Lunar Dew spawning all kinds of purple-colored vegetation in this dark glade was even brighter than usual.
In fact, all the plants were glowing intermittently, like strobe lights, only very quickly. The fairies that usually hovered over the Lunar Dew pool were neatly sated on each plant, watching the pool with curious and excited expressions.
When they saw Darius and co arrive, they rushed over to pay their respects, as they were sort of servants on this land, only allowed to bask in the aura of the Lunar Dew pool because Darius and Gunner did not mind back then.
Darius turned to Xela, who started to communicate with the fairies as to what was happening. Once they had informed her, the Elven Princess was both shocked and excited.
"They said something happened a few months ago. The Resurrection Stone you placed within seemed to have reached a boiling point as it quaked and released a great amount of strange energy within the pool."
"Apparently, that energy changed the fundamental nature of the Lunar Dew in the pool, allowing for a miracle to happen. A great miracle in Faust that has never occurred before." Xela finished with excitement.
Darius and Gunner shared looks and frowned. The Itemancer directly blinked to the side of the Lunar Dew pool and noticed that its usual light purple color had indeed changed, into something much darker.
Frowning, he Analyzed the pool.
[Soul-Nourishing Divine Lunar Dew - Liquid
Durability: MAX
Description: Formerly, the Legendary Dew of the heavens, this strain of Lunar Dew has evolved into a Divine Dew of unspeakable power.
It retains all the effects of normal Lunar Dew, reviving the dead within 1 year of death, healing all ailments in the world, fortifying life, giving eternal youth, granting great power, and more, yes these effects have doubled.
This new version has the ability to restore the soul, or create a soul for an empty vessel that will be superior to most beings on Faust.]
Darius was shocked by this, not believing what he was seeing. If he hadn't unlocked the mysteries of the Soul during his Test of Mettle, he wouldn't understand the significance of this dew at all.
It would allow him to grant souls to any flesh he created using the Material element. He could make perfect warriors from scratch and have them become real lives if they imbibed just a little of this liquid.
Even though he had planned to use Medea as a breeding vat, those were for elite troops with Demi-God bodies and special bloodlines who would fight with Achilles.
For his average everyday soldiers in the army, as well as generals and the like, he could create them and imbue them with the skills and expertise appertaining to their rank.
This was an unexpected, yet welcome surprise. Darius investigated further, looking for the First Resurrection Stone that he knew floated in the center of the pool and Analyzed it.
[First Resurrection Stone - Unique
Durability: MAX
Uses: ???
Description: A unique item that was born from the Will of Faust to allow special entities to revive themselves upon death for a limited number of times.
It is the first of its kind and was incubated in the body of a child in order to grant it sentience after experiencing his life and absorbing his spiritual energy.
After bathing in a pool of the purest and most concentrated Lunar Dew, its power had reached a limit, making it explode outward, infusing the dew with its properties of revival and nourishing for damaged souls.
It has reached its peak and cannot grow from here.]
Darius's face became hard. That was fine, the creation of a Divine Dew was something great. Why he could even see his Activities tab on the True Supreme System flash, indicating that he had likely received a corresponding Accolade or Achievement for this.
But looking back, this couldn't be what all those fairies were seated here for. More than observing a pool of magnificent dew, it was as if they were still waiting for the highlight.
For something grand that would shake the entire world. As Xela put it just now, they were waiting to witness a miracle.
Suddenly, the pool before him began bubbling as if something was rising to the surface. Immediately, the True Supreme System opened itself before Darius and showed him a screen.
[Discovered that Host, Darius Stone, is at a point in reality where a universally relevant Event is about to occur.
As such, a Quest has been generated, as well as an Event.
Check them below!]
Just as the new Quest and Event displayed itself to Darius, he saw a hand poke out of the pool, clutching the bank.
