Chapter 130: Demon Slayer

While Aurus was being updated as to what has been happening around the Tempest Cliff through Herellia just as he arrived, two Greater Goddess were currently zooming through the Celestial Plane, heading towards the plane of a renowned divine blacksmith on the level of Kurohana, renowned for making weapons that were the bane of demons.

These two Greater Goddesses were none other than Nix, the hallmaster of the Hall of Greater Divinity, and Shirohana, Kurohana’s divine clone that had 90% of her full power for now.

It took the both of them a couple of hours to reach the place where the renowned blacksmith, Misha’s, plane was resided. Then again, as the both of them were Greater Goddesses was far faster than what Lesser Gods and Goddesses could achieve.

Whoosh!

Step. Step.

With both of them landing on the edge of a path as the breeze of the space wind passed through their bodies, the both of them looked at the sight in front of them.

Instead of a plane that seemed to fit the power of what a divine blacksmith held, it seemed to fit someone that had the power of a mortal blacksmith.

The current landscape in front of them was akin to what one would see in a medieval setting. A large forest filled with multiple trees, rivers, and wild animals. What set it apart was found at the center of the plane, a large stone tower that was a thousand meters tall.

Nix could not help but look at the stone tower, then back at Shirohana beside her, and say, “Why are all blacksmiths so eccentric in terms of design and taste?”

Shirohana also looked at the stone tower in the distance and replied to Nix’s question. “It’s far better than a plane of pure darkness like yours though.”

Hearing these words come out of Shirohana’s mouth, Nix could not help but puff her cheeks out as she said, “It’s an aesthetic choice! An aesthetic choice!”

“Call it an aesthetic choice, but it’s still a big pile of darkness, Nix,” Shirohana said to her before starting to walk along the path that led to the stone tower.

“I…” Nix wanted to refute Shirohana’s words, but in the end, she gave up and walked beside Shirohana along the path.

Since the plane was very large given that Misha was a divine blacksmith, although it looked Nix and Shirohana were walking, they were traversing multiple kilometers with one step. It only took them a couple of minutes to arrive at the front of the stone tower, where a large entrance could be seen.

Nix and Shirohana stood in front of this entrance for a short while in silence. After some time, Shirohana could not help herself anymore, asking Nix, “Why are we just standing here? Can’t we go and enter the tower already, seeing that there’s no one guarding it?”

From Shirohana, or in this case, Kurohana’s perspective, it was a given since she was also a divine blacksmith in her own right. But rather than allowing Shirohana to do whatever, Nix instead shook her head as she replied, “Misha doesn’t really like people go through her tower without permission. If you do enter her tower without her permission, you’d end up getting equipment as well, but it wouldn’t even do so much as leave a scratch on the demons you’ll fight.”

“I see,” Shirohana nodded towards Nix’s explanation and decided to just wait as there was not much harm in waiting anyway. Eventually, a silhouette appeared out of the large entrance. As the silhouette came out of the entrance and was lit up by a nearby sun’s rays, the two of them could finally see who the silhouette was.

Her face alone would be enough for multiple men to fight for. And we’re talking about fights that span across a supercluster. As for her body, it was well-toned due to her work, accentuating the beauty of her face even further. She wore brown overalls over a plain gray shirt as she looked at the two of them and asked, “May I know why the two of you have come here?”

Seeing the face of the person that came to greet them, Nix lightly smiled and responded, “We’ve come here to seek your demon slaying weapons, Misha.”

As for Shirohana, who had stayed silent all this time, she looked at Misha from head to toe, assessing her mastery in blacksmithing through her arms and hands. Eventually, she could not help but say within with Kurohana, “She’s a divine blacksmith alright.”

“Not as good as Master, though.”

“Oh? My demon sealing weapons?” Misha could not help but become surprised as to Nix’s reason for coming here. At that instant, her expression turned serious as slight killing intent started to radiate out of her.

“Are the demons coming back to invade the Celestial Plane?”

“That is precisely the reason.” Nix nodded. “Two Lesser Gods have been turned into Depraved Deities, and we want to prevent more Lesser Gods turning into demons, lest we want to have a Second Divine Demon War.”

“If that’s the case,” Misha pondered for a bit as she answered, before looking at Nix and Shirohana and continuing, “Then follow me. I’ll show you some extremely potent weapons perfect for demon slaying.”

And with that, Misha turned around and started to walk inside the stone tower, with Nix and Shirohana following behind her in silence.

After ten minutes or so of walking through the insides of the stone tower, they had eventually reached the halfway point of the stone tower, where an aura of extreme purity and cleanliness could be felt emanating from the floor itself.

Nix and Shirohana could not help but tense up after feeling this aura. To them, it felt like they were being suffocated by the intense aura of purity.

“I almost forgot to tell you about this Shirohana,” Nix said to Shirohana as they stood at the center of the floor. “Misha is the Greater Goddess of Purity, allowing her to specialize in creating demon slaying and sealing weapons. Especially her Throne-level weapons, they’re the 7th and highest series of demon slaying weapons she has crafted and man are they extremely effective!”

“You make me blush, Nix.” Misha could not help but chuckle as she waved her hands in the air, multiple tangible threads manifesting from her hands before spreading throughout the floor. “Then again, I’ve drastically improved the performance of my demon slaying weapons from the Divine Demon War. At most, my strongest weapons back then can be considered Virtue-level, or the 5th series.”

“But right now though, witness the Cherubim-level weapons I have created, the 8th series of weapons I’ve crafted meant to kill demons!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the instant Misha was finished talking, multiple racks where weapons were placed rose up from the floor, giving Nix and Shirohana a sight to behold.

From shurikens and kunais, to longswords and halberds, to even greatswords and battleaxes, every kind of possible weapon type was seen on the weapon racks, all of them exuding an intense aura of purity. Nix and Shirohana could not help but feel that just by touching them, they’d definitely be injured.

“Go ahead and choose a weapon,” Misha said as she looked at the reactions of the two, with a smile creeping up her face. “As for the price, it’s free of charge since you’re using it for a purpose regarding the whole Celestial Plane anyway. Speaking of which, do the Immortal Verdict Wielders know of this?”

“Yep.” This time, Shirohana was the one who answered, casually browsing through the weapons to see what would be the most effective one for her. “Big Sis Phatia-er, I mean, Phatia, the Wielder of the Immortal Verdict of Fate has been informed of this and she must have spread it to the other Immortal Verdict Wielders as well.”

“I see,” Misha replied as she looked at Shirohana. After a while, she could not help but examine Shirohana more closely, eventually covering her mouth with both hands as she gasped before asking, “Wait a second… aren’t you Kurohana. Aren’t you a divine blacksmith as well? Surely there’s no need for my weapons to be used if you yourself are a divine blacksmith capable of crafting demon slaying weapons?”

“I must apologize Miss Misha but I am not Kurohana, but I am also Kurohana at the same time,” Shirohana replied as she picked up the whip, swinging it here and there to get a feel for the weight and power of the whip. “I am Shirohana, a divine clone made by her in order to help Nix in fighting against the demons. I am very thankful to you for contributing demon slaying weapons back then.”

She then bowed towards Misha as she continued, “I may be a divine blacksmith, or rather a divine craftswoman in this case, but I’m very sure that even with my great mastery over the Law of Reincarnation, it would not even be on par your Virtue-level weapons, even more so for your Cherubim-level weapons.”

Crack!

With a simple flick of the whip, an air cracking sound resounded throughout the whole floor, slightly making the floor to and fro as Shirohana looked satisfied with her choice.

“I’ll be choosing this whip then,” Shirohana said as she looked at Misha. “Would there be any problems with that, Miss Misha?”

“Nope, not at all,” Misha replied with a smile. “A tip though, I’d suggest casting holy type buffs on the whip before fighting against the demons for a greater effect.”

“I will definitely keep that in mind, Miss Misha.” Shirohana smiled back as she looked at Nix, who had chosen a zweihander after careful consideration.

“Why did you pick up a weapon, Nix? Are you going to help me fight against the Depraved Deities?” Shirohana could not help but ask.

“Oh no, no, I’m just grabbing one in the case of more Depraved Deities popping up. Wouldn’t want a True Demon God to be born, right?” Nix opened up a rift and placed the zweihander inside it before closing it with a smile.

“Fair enough.” Shirohana did the same as Nix as she shrugged her shoulders towards Nix’s answer.

“If you would excuse us, Misha, we have some demons to slay,” Nix looked at Misha and bowed.

“I wish you the very best. This would definitely help you two out.” As Misha said this, she snapped her fingers twice, opening up a passage on one of the walls of the floor they were on.

Not only that, Misha then started to chant.

“I am the Greater Goddess of Purity, impartial to those without sin and ruthless to those corrupt. May my words bless the great goddess undertaking the holy task of demon slaying.”

“Light of the Holy Land, rain upon thee. 3rd Divine Circle, Purity Grace!”

Whoosh!

At that instant, Shirohana was then covered in an aura of intense purity, giving her an aura of purity that did not lose out to those Cherubim-level weapons.

“I hope you can come back safely, Shirohana,” Misha said with slight concern. “If not, I might have to charge your other half.”

“Don’t worry.” Shirohana laughed at Misha’s joke. “After fighting against demons for so long, I won’t die from them that easily.”

Whoosh!

And with that, the two of them left Misha’s stone tower. Eventually, Nix and Shirohana parted ways, leaving Shirohana alone in her adventure to fight against Hinari and Hodazuka to gauge the demons’ current strength.

“I hope there’s no Deified Sin level demons possessing them. If so, I might just lose a great portion of my power.”
