A few days later, the city began to rebuild. While the city is being rebuilt, Ryouta and the others decide to search the city for information about the monsters in the western forest that lead to the temple they are headed to.
A few minutes after gathering all the information they could, they began to discuss the plans and paths they would take so that they would not fight against the Rank A monsters that were around the western forest.
"As we know, from the information we have, we know that there are some monsters in the forest, including Red Goblin, Wolf, Shadow Phantom, among others, Wyvren and some Poison Fang Spider, it is a D Rank monster, which we might fight during the trip if we use the left lane after entering the western forest, but it will take four days of travel. If we take a straight path after entering the forest and turn right, we will arrive in two days' time, but we will face the Lizardmen Tribe, the Black Wyvren, in the first place, Queen Tarantula who is a Rank A monster and the worst possibility is that we may be dealing with a Rank S monster that is the Behemoth of the dragon disaster," ren explains the path they will choose according to the information they have collected.
"Behemoth yes, it seems I have heard a legend about Behemoth, ah yes I have read it in this book," said Milia took the ancient book that Ren gave to her.
After the book is shown, it appears on a page that contains all the information about Behemoth.
"In this book it is said that the Behemoth is the Dragon of destruction, here it is also said that the Behemoth has such great power, among those forces was a force that everyone was so afraid of that, Destruction Strike, it was an attack capable of destroying a single country."
"So in conclusion we will take the left path after entering the forest and we will arrive at the temple after four days" Ryouta said drawing conclusions for their trip.
***********************************
The next morning, they set out from the Black Cat inn, and hired a cart of goods and a horse to pull the wagon and take them near the western forest. How many hours passed, and they came outside the western forest, and the man driving the wagon with the horse said to them,
"May you reach your destination, for I can only deliver you here."
"Ah no problem, we're glad you can drive us here, so thank you for driving us" Ryouta told the man.
After saying goodbye to the man who drove them, they began to continue their journey into the forest. During the journey the monsters appear exactly as the people say.
A few hours passed, after entering the forest, it did not feel like the day was getting dark and they decided to camp in the forest until morning came. When going to start the preparation of camping, suddenly from behind the trees there was the sound of a wolf howling accompanied by the howls of other wolves from several places.
"It looks like our dinner menu this time is meat, it's all time to hunt a lot of meat" Ryouta told the others.
After a few minutes passed, a pack of wolves appeared before them and quickly started attacking simultaneously.
[Status Monster]
Name: Wolf
Rank: D
Hp: 4,000
Atks: 500
Agility: 950
"I don't think we need to move from here, because our dinner has already come by itself," Mio said, slamming her punch at one of the wolves that jumped and attacked her.
"It looks like Mio got one prey, well I won't lose." Ruby used her crest to destroy the skulls of four wolves that attacked her simultaneously.
While everyone was fighting, Milia and Ren prepared a campfire to cook and also to bake some of the wild mushrooms they found. After the fight was over, Ryouta and the others obtained enough meat to eat during their journey, and some of the meat was cooked with some wild vegetables and roasted with some mushrooms.
A few minutes later after dinner and the tent for camping was ready, they started dinner. After the night had passed, the morning came, and they began to continue their journey.
Three days passed, after a long journey through the forest, they finally arrived at a large temple that seemed to have grown some moss and other creeping plants. When he saw that, Ren said,
"Finally we come here, the Temple of the Four Holy Knights, the temple where the sword of Orivion was kept and waiting for me to take it," Ren said as he stared at the temple.
When they arrived in front of the temple, they began to enter the temple. When entering, there are many ancient carvings that adorn the vastness of the temple.
As everyone was amazed by the temple, Ren began to head into a room, and in the room was seen a large door made of stone.
"It looks like this is the entrance to the main part of this temple, but it seems like this door cannot be opened" he told Ryouta and the others.
"I know that writing, it's an ancient song from the Dragonnewst tribe, I'll try to sing it maybe it'll make this door open, Dustos dormiens, exaudi carmen meum, Diis oblatum, meum carmen audio, et aeterno mundo portas pande." As Mio sang the first lyrics, the lyrics changed color to purple but upon entering the second lyrics, the light did not appear.
Seeing that, Ryouta and the others looked puzzled as they could not make the door open. Then Milia also tried to sing the song, but when singing the first lyrics, the lyrics did not change color, but when she sang the lyrics to the two lyrics it changed to red. Seeing this, Ren said to the two of them,
"You two try to sing the song like this, in the lyrics of the first part, Mio will start it, then when you get into the lyrics to the two Milia will start singing, and then in the second part Milia will start singing, and at the last lyric, you two sing that song together."
"Well, if that's what we're supposed to do, we'll both sing it, you're ready."
"Of course, I'm always ready."
"Well let's get started, custos dormiens."
"Exaudi carmen meum, Diis oblatum, meum carmen audio."
"Et aeterno mundo portas pande."
After the song was finished singing, all the lyrics in the song changed color and then the stone door began to open and a bright light emanated in it.
"Everyone, this door is open, so let's go inside" Ren said, stepping his foot into the door.
"Whatever happens in there, we will face it with our full strength, and we will not retreat for anything" Ryouta told the others before entering the door.
As they entered the door, a bright white light enveloped them, and as they opened their eyes, they were now in a spacious room with several ancient relics around the four pillars that held high regard to the top. And around the pillars, there were four white statues and as they approached the statue, Four holy knights who looked like the statue appeared before them and said,
"We are the four knights of the Orivion sword guard, only a true hero can pull the sword from the Holy Altar" said the four knights, speaking in turn.
"My name is Ren, I am a new hero chosen to defeat the demon lord," Ren said bowing to pay his respects to the four holy knights.
"Well, if you are a hero, remove the sword of Orivion from the altar" said a holy knight wielding a shield
After hearing the holy knight's words, Ren stood up and walked to the Holy Altar to pull out the sword. Upon arriving at the Holy Altar, Ren touched the Orivion sword and a golden light emerged from the sword, and the moment it was pulled out, the sword turned into a golden blue-colored sword and a holy aura was emanated as it was pulled out.
"I managed to obtain the Orivion sword, now that I am ready to accept my destiny to kill the Demon King, in the name of the holy sword Orivion, I am Ren Cereus, accept my mission as a hero to kill the Demon King."
"It looks like our Quest is completed, so let's go back, "Ryouta told the others.
"You will not be able to return until you have completed the test that we are about to give you, because the stars predicted that you are the one who will fight alongside the hero to kill the Demon King and the Behemoth-bringing Dragon, so we will judge you, whether you are worthy of the prophecy."
"If that's what we need, then we will take the test without fear" Ryouta told the holy knight.
"We have promised ourselves that we will not back down at all until the end" Milia told the knights.
"Alright, if you have made up your resolve, then we will test you, the four of us will wait for you in the door you will choose to take the test from us."
After saying that, the four holy knights began to disappear and in front of Ryouta and the others there were four different doors where they would get their respective exams. A few minutes later after the door appeared they began to walk to the door they had chosen to face with the holy knights.
"All right, this is a test we have to face, so make sure you pass the test from them" Ryouta said standing at the door symbolizing the Shield Weapon.
"Of course, I will face anything with this fist, and keep advancing forward breaking through the enemies that are blocking me." Mio clenched her hands and walked to the temple with the symbol of sword and shield.
"There is nothing that will stand in my way, with full force I will succumb to anything" Milia said with a fire burning on her sword while standing at the door symbolizing the Sword, Shield and Wings.
"I will try my best to pass this test even though it is difficult, I will still not back down because I have already taken this step to move forward," said Ruby who stood at the door symbolized a shield and spear.
"It seems like everything is ready, so let's face this test."
