Chapter 4: IV Shadow
When Elijah saw the black fireball coming on his way, and thought he would die. Everything began to slow down as heard a voice in the back of his head.
"Hello kid, you want to make a deal?" The moment he recovered consciousness, Elijah into a black saw himself in a dark, cold space.
When the shadow was looking a the terrified child below him,
The child looked up and asked with a choked voice, "Who are you? I am dead? Is this the world of the dead?"
The shadow lets a laugh, saying in a voice of neither a male or female. "Haha, you can say that I'm just a Minor God and to tell the truth, I am just as surprised as you for being able to reach this sealed space .For your concern, you are not dead, yet, but I saw your memories and if you leave here the fireball in your world will hit you and then will you die."
The crying child knelt down before the shadow and begged "What!? So I will die no matter what happen? If it's this, can you at least save my cousin and the people in my town?"
The figure inside the shadow let out a smile and murmured 'This kid is about to die and is still thinking of other people. Maybe it is destiny for him to appear like this.'
"Kid, I can help save you and your town, but first, I will give you a fourth ranked Prophet Bless, so you can talk with me every time you need..."
Before the shadow finished talking, Elijah interrupted and asked "Sir, what is a fourth ranked Prophet Bless?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. In total there are seven tiers of blessing a god can, give they are Chosen, Priest, High Priest, Prophet, Great Prophet, Saint and Pope. Even though when someone is blessed by a God they gain the authority to absorb this world's elemental energy, isn't because of this Mortals desire to become Divine Cultivators."
"What they truly want is the benefits of a high-leveled Bless. The Higher the level of your blessing is, more the benefits you gain like a Divine Cultivation Manual, a Divine Ability or a Divine Movement Technique and you can even gain insight on the God's Domain, but of course you will still need to serve that God or he can take back everything he gave you. Truth be told, the level of blessing is just the amount of power given to a mortal by a celestial being like me and at your level, fourth-rank blessing is your limit." The mass of black mist spoke
I will give you a fourth level bless, a Cultivation Manual and lend a bit of my power so you can block that fireball and help your town. In exchange you will take me as your master. So you want it?
Elijah began thinking about everything he saw before, the fight between the woman and the dark angel in the sky with all that power, he could never forge the scene that made his blood boil so much as the of a new desire was born in his heart.
'I want to reach the sky and fight like that two people. '
Elijah looked at the shadow with his light brown hair and large black eyes. He knelt down and said, "Elijah pays his respect to master"
The Shadow looked at Elijah with satisfaction and said. "Now I will give your blessing, be prepared."
Then a bright gray light entered Elijah's body and soul, but at the same second, something went wrong and all the power he had absorbed together with Shadow's conscience appeared inside a large hall. He saw a giant golden gate with many runic inscriptions and gemstones on it, he also saw several symbols he has never seen before. In this place, the shadow felt pressured and a fear he had never felt even when four True Gods chased and nearly killed him.
"What is this? It's impossible for a mortal to have such a powerful soul capable of causing fear to a God. I think that is something terrifying behind that gate, is better if I leave here now." After the shadow escaped that hall, he saw the kid stand with his eyes closed and his light brown hair now black and a Divine Imprint of a gray vortex above his head.
The shadow looked at the kid and said to himself "I don't know if this mysterious kid is a genius or a monster."
