Chapter 42 Divine Beast (2)
In my previous world, they were only considered creatures of legends. But here in this world, actually exist those same mythological beings.
In the old stories of my previous world, they represented different values and human natures.
They pointed at one unique thing which then became their motif.
Like love, purity, speed, death, life, birth, time, and many more.
Here, they have that same feature as their specialty trait.
Just like my phonographic memory, that unique thing about them reflects in their very being.
They have their own abilities, powers, and strengths.
They are so powerful that their power couldn\'t be just measured by simple means.
They are wise and hold great authority in this world.
Just seeing one in person is considered one of the greatest blessings for a person.
You can\'t actually see their (True) form as normal humans can\'t even bare that.
As for strong people like my mom and dad... they are considered still lucky.
You have to be as strong as them to barely withstand the (Phantom) form of them.
Even so, the divine beast was the one to show itself to them.
It deemed them worthy enough to show itself to them.
Just like meeting a god.
If children of my previous world hears this story, they would just jump around the whole house in surprise.
The beautiful creatures that they only saw on screen and in movies are real here, everyone including I would want to meet them.
I envy my parents the most now. They actually met such being in person.
And not only that, but they also witnessed the use of a [Divine skill].
These skills aren\'t something a human could perform, ever.
Just the sheer knowledge and mental power required for casting are unfathomable.
They are also called (Miracle) by people in this world because it is beyond human limits.
Not even (tier-9) mages could come close to them.
As for (tier-10) archmages, though they are considered superhumans, they could barely come close to them.
[Origin masters] could be considered as archmages in terms of strength but, they are stronger.
The power possessed at that level goes against the common senses.
That is why [Origin grandmasters] live separately from the world.
Power of a [Origin] could reach as strong as [Miracle] at their level.
Some believe that [Divine beasts] are also creatures born directly from these [Origins].
If a [God] is someone who controls [Origin] at their will, they should be people who reached a realm beyond [Saint].
[Saints] also held godly powers and they could be equal to [Divine beasts].
That is the reason they are worshiped as almost Gods.
Their power is still borrowed in the form of (Divine Energy).
\'Well, thinking too deeply about these things are... meaninglessness.\'
I sighed and looked at the red-orange stew in my bowl.
Hearing their story was really, really... REALLY amazing.
My heart skipped beats from time to time and at some points, I almost cried.
Though they had left many things blank, I could clearly feel every emotion in their word.
The joy, longing, sadness, cold, and loneliness.
I already knew they were amazing but now, I really respect them.
They were much more than just amazing.
I didn\'t have words to express my feelings right now.
I just stared at the stew with excitement oozing out of me.
Mom and dad were happy to see me like this as they sat by me.
I was still lost in my thoughts.
A [Unicorn] is a creature of lakes, purity, and light.
A very famous creature that any girl would have loved in my previous world.
Especially the young girls, they loved them like crazy!
Back then, I didn\'t know what was so special about these horses.
The phantom of this unicorn was very big. It had its pure white hair and the blue mixed in them must be a water attribute.
The light from its horn must have been the [Divine skill]: [Light of purity].
In the books, it is depicted as the power to wipe out any impurities, evil, or negativity.
This one didn\'t have any offensive uses but still was considered one of the strongest powers against demons.
And they had witnessed the very thing themselves.
Though it was just a fraction of what the skill could do, that was more than enough to mesmerize someone for a lifetime.
Now... I knew.
Now, I really understood that deep nostalgic look in their eyes.
They every time saw the normal fireworks as those phenomenal explosions of light.
They felt the emotions they had felt that very day.
They lived their past again... in a very good way.
They were happy and glad to be there at that exact moment.
If not for that day, things may have been different.
But, that didn\'t happen.
I was here, listening to them tell me about one of the many exciting things about them.
Now I wanted to hear more about them.
I wanted to know much more but... I didn\'t show that on my face.
The time for that will also come, just like today.
I will wait, patiently, just like mom did for dad.
Or... maybe not. Not like her at least.
For this matter, I had more patients than her.
I smiled brightly and lifted my spoon.
Taking a spoon full of thick warm stew with a small chunk of chicken meat, I put it in my mouth.
The smell, flavor, the texture of the meat, were amazing.
This... was definitely sorcery.
I was still miles away from making something like this from this world.
Though I had the knowledge of my previous life, I still knew almost nothing about the outside world and had close to zero experience in many things.
And... learning those unknown things will be more fun than I expect, hopefully.
I finished the meal and put the bowl on the other side with the other plates.
Mom and dad also finished their meals and we sat down once again.
This time, as we sat, mom was in the middle of us.
Holding dad and my hand gently she spoke in a calm voice.
"Brian, Eon, I have something to tell you two..."
