Chapter 113 - Who Will You Choose?
"Blessings? What kind of blessings?" Valdel was quite curious with the blessings that the Gods and Goddesses give out. When Rachel and Natasha heard Valdel's question, the two tried to speak first, "The blessing," the two who spoke at the exact same time looked at each other.
"Oh my, do you really think you should be explaining such a difficult thing. I doubt you even understand the meaning of your own blessing." Natasha smiled sweetly at Rachel, but hidden within that cute smile were daggers.
"I'm sure I can explain it better than a little girl, oh wait you're not a little girl, you just look like one, you old hag." Rachel started laughing while looking at Natasha's flat chest.
"What did you say, you dumb b*mbo!" Natasha shouted materializing her weapon once more.
"Bring it you old hag!" Rachel responded in kind, but before the two could attack each other, Galius got between them.
"Please ladies, the two of you fighting helps no one. For now, since lady Rachel was here first, how about she explains the blessings her God will give if Valdel decides to join the temple of the War God."
When Rachel heard Galius' side her, she looked at Natasha with a smirk. Natasha seeing how smug Rachel was wanted to retort, but then she noticed that the way she was acting was childish. Natasha finally noticing how improper her actions were was forced to hold it in.
'Damn it this always happens, whenever I meet Rachel. I don't know why, but even among the people from the temple of the war God she really irritates me.'
Seeing Natasha not responding to her provocative look made Rachel happy, as she stuck close to Valdel before she started talking.
"Okay then, about the blessings, it's as Galius said. The blessings are abilities gifted by the Gods that each temple serves. These blessings are given to the holy maidens chosen warrior. So if you choose to become my chosen hero, then the War God Hieus will grant you abilities that would make you a beast of war. He could grant you abilities that could either make you a brilliant strategist or a heroic warrior. The ability given by a God is not the same from warrior to warrior, it would differ depending on the deity's mood or the ability that the deity deems suitable for you. So in truth, I can't really give you an exact detail of the abilities you might receive, but I can tell you for certain that all the abilities of the God of war are powerful tools for battle."
When Rachel got to this part of her explanation, she squeezed tightly onto Valdel's arm, making her voluptuous breast become more noticeable in Valdel's perception.
"Not only will you gain the power to be ever victorious in battle, but you'll also have me. If you wish I'll become your woman, and you may do what you wish with my body. Every part of this body of mine is all yours." Rachel then placed Valdel's hand in the middle of her thighs. She was about to say something more, but then someone pushed her to the side.
Natasha noticed the situation was getting dangerous so she got in between the two. Rachel who was pushed aside wanted to say something, but then she felt Galius grabbing her shoulder. Rachel was about to say something to Galius, but then he saw the expression on his face and stopped.
Rachel was now reminded that this old man wasn't just some random old man, he was not someone she could handle if makes him angry.
"Sir Valdel, now that you heard the blessings given by the war God temple, it's now time for you to hear of the blessing the Goddess of Justice Tiditte. Unlike the blessings given by the War God, the Goddess of Justice does not give abilities that could directly help in battle. The abilities given to the chosen warrior is either the ability to save or to punish. The ability related to saving is usually a higher-level healing ability, while the ability to punish, is a bit more vague but usually, it's an ability that can make you spot a sinner with one look. I think there was a record of a former hero that called it <analayze>."
Same as Rachel after she was done explaining about the blessing Valdel might receive, Natasha stuck close to Valdel.
"I know that you are a man of justice Sir Valdel. The Temple of the Goddess of Justice is a place that strives on seeking justice for the weak and helpless. I understand it, the moment I saw you, I sensed that you too are a person that seeks justice. If you join the temple of the Goddess of Justice, not only will you be able to help those in need, you'll also be able to acquire... Me..."
When Natasha said the last line, she started blushing like a young maiden in love, as she looked at Valdel with upturn eyes. The moment she did this, Rachel suddenly got in between the two.
"Okay enough of that!" The two girls then suddenly got into another glaring contest. Galius could only sigh as he saw the interaction of the two holy maidens, as he then looked at Valdel.
"So now that you have a rough understanding of the blessing, and the temples, who do you pick? Which temple will you join?"
Hearing Galius' question the two ladies who were glaring at each other shifted their attention to Valdel. Seeing everyone was waiting for his answer Valdel took a minute to think. He didn't understand why, but as he was thinking of which side to join, Valdel suddenly thought of his best friend.
'If it were him what choice would he make?' When he thought of that Valdel couldn't help but smile a similar smile to what Ren usually shows when he gets excited. Valdel looked at the two girls who were waiting in anticipation of his answer.
"I made my decision, I choose neither."
The two holy maidens had numerous changes in their expression in the span of one second.. When they heard Valdel's answer the first expression they showed was excitement, then realization, then disappointment, and then confusion.
