Chapter 829 Heavenly Spirit Summon

-----

While Mark was slowly absorbing the Mana, I decided to try out my own new Spells.

I walked into the backyard and looked into the skies.

"[Heavenly Spirit Summon]!"

FLAAAASH!

The skies suddenly trembled, as a flash of bright golden light descended towards me at lightning speed!

I knew it, Heavenly Spirits live in Heaven itself…

BAAAM!!

The Spirit landed right in front of me, its appearance was completely made of such a bright light that I couldn't properly discern its shape.

"Such a glorious Aura. To think someone that lives in the Mortal Plane could summon me seamlessly."

The Heavenly Spirit slowly transformed, resembling a small boy, made of pure white, gold, and silver light…

"Y-You're a Heavenly Spirit?"

I was a bit shaken it could talk and was completely different than other Spirits.

"Indeed, I usually do not materialize into a form. We Heavenly Spirits live within the Heaven Plane. Making up its pillars." He answered politely. "However, the spell you've conjured is strong enough to create a temporary contract, for a couple of minutes, I can descend into the Mortal Plane and aid you. Is there something you require?"

"W-Wow…" I was flabbergasted. "Usually Spirits don't interact this much…"

"Well, Heavenly Spirits are different than normal Spirits. We were born from the Heavenly Spiritual Essence itself." He answered. "We are children of God Almighty."

"So he truly exists?!" I asked in surprise.

"…It surprises me more that you were able to summon me without being sure of that." He was interested in me. "We've got a couple more of minutes, this contract is short yet strong. Your Celestial Essence and Spiritual Essence were a delightful little meal. So I am willing to answer a few questions you might have."

"Oh… Then, I have one. What's the true nature of this "God"? Is it really like… the Real, true Supreme God?" I wondered. "Or something else?"

"That is a complicated question, but yes, my God, is also your God. He is the God of all things within Earth." He said. "He is a powerful Deity born not only from monotheistic religions, but from the belief of all humans and other intelligent beings. He is the one that became the pillar of Heaven and created it."

"To think he was able to create an entire plane…" I was shaken. "This being… Is it related to the Heaven's Will?"

"Our God Almighty has been in a deep slumber the last years. But he left the "Heaven's Will" to take care of things." He answered. "It is a powerful entity and mind that can control the Laws of Creation to a limited extent. The reason you were gifted a Halo is because the Heaven's Will thought you were worthy of carrying one, despite having been born a human."

"I-I see… But why am I worthy? I believe there must be other Demon Hunters out there, so killing a demon shouldn't be enough, right?" I wondered.

"I haven't been watching over you, but from what I can gather by looking at the Heaven's Records, you're one of the Heaven's Will favorites." The Spirit spoke. "Your actions have saved many people, and your honest heart and strong mind makes you a perfect vessel for a Halo."

"I don't think I am that special…" I sighed.

"Well, that endless humility of you is also a great virtue, that you naturally find yourself lacking despite all your feats, shows how pure is your heart." He smiled.

"I think you're exaggerating but… Okay." I shrugged. "Oh, I also have another little question! Could you answer it?"

"Ask away." He nodded.

"Do you back in Heaven know about the existence of the World of Arcadia, which is the origin of the Gates opening up all over the world?" I asked.

"…"

The Heavenly Spirit fell silent as he widened his eyes, as if he was full of a realization.

"We… were investigating that, but we were not aware of the world's name." He said. "There seems to be some information within the Heaven's Record, but it is not something I can access as a low-ranking Heavenly Spirit, sadly. However, based in that alone… I believe Arcadia and Earth have had a connection for a long time. These Gates are simply something that has been delayed for eons."

"What?!" I was shocked with such a revelation.

"However, that's all I can learn… Your Spell can only call Low Rank Heavenly Spirits, so nobody can help you in this regard, sadly. But it seems that simple answered was more than enough?" He giggled.

"A bit…" I sighed. "Huh? You're fading away already?!"

"Looks like five minutes is the limit." He smiled. "It was nice meeting you, Elayne. Please make sure to wait at least a few hours between summons, so you don't exhaust your energies. It goes without saying that I expect you not to abuse the spell for your own personal benefits."

"Y-Yes, of course." I nodded. "Thank you so much for the answers!"

"It was nothing, thank you for feeding me your energy, I feel much stronger after that." He slowly faded away, only ending as particles of golden light flying into the skies. 

"Let's meet again sometime!"

"Y-Yeah!"

I waved my hand into the sky, as I gave yet another sigh…

Well, that was quite an interesting interaction. At least they seemed to know more than the clueless Gabriel.

"Well, that was something." The Great Spirit had been watching things unfold in silence.

"Yeah, Arcadia and Earth having a pre-existing connection…" I wondered. "Maybe things… are much more connected than we originally thought."

"Maybe… As someone from Arcadia, I was clueless about all these things myself." She sighed. "Well, for now, try the other spell and be done with it."

"Right… We came here for that, haha." I laughed a bit. "Now… [Dream Dragon Spirit Domain]!"

FLAAASH!

My Aura surged from within my body, overflowing with pink and purple colors, star-like light surging from within.

The Aura slowly expanded around, seemingly distorting space as if it was turning it all into an illusory dream.

And the appearance of an intimidating dragon surged from within, gazing at me.

Wow, this is a bit scary… What kind of spell is this?!
