Novel Full Chapter 399 - Amaterasu's Treasure
-----
What Frank required was to learn a Magic Affinity to develop the element better! Lower Skills that were weaker than his Skills that covered such elements would be assimilated. However, there were obvious exceptions such as Telekinesis, which was a power he actually didn't have before acquiring it.
"The ability to gain a Magic Affinity… I remember that I got some of it by eating a God Divinity, which is infused with their element. Like Space Magic and Time Magic from Zudithe and Judith… I remember eating a piece of Abraddon, and I acquired Life Magic," thought Frank.
"A way to gain the magic we use? Such as Light or Fire Magic? Can't my lord utilize it through the System?" asked Kaguya.
"It is more complicated than that, I can use Spells I get as Skills, and they get assimilated by my strongest skill of that element. I can use these through this Skill, but they are all tied into this Skill. Meanwhile, Magic is different and new Spells can always be developed," said Frank.
"I see… I suppose there can be a way… For that, we should go deeper into the treasury, follow me, my lord…"
Frank followed Kaguya as she descended through several stairs underground until the temperature of the environment began to change, everything got oddly warm, and when the last stair was reached, Frank was greeted by a volcanic underground scenery, pools of lava boiling everywhere, and black stones making up deep and intricate cave areas..
What was this place?
"This environment is something like a Pseudo Domain, which is formed by the residual divine energy from the Legendary Treasure that our lady Amaterasu used to fight against Shuten Doji in the past, alongside the other Gods," said Kaguya.
"A treasure so strong that its essence creates a Domain that forms such an environment?!" asked Frank in surprise.
"Indeed… Here," said Kaguya, as she pointed at the large altar in the middle of a pool of lava, in there, there was a golden accessory, it resembled a beautiful hairpin.
"It might look like a normal hairpin, but it as finally forget by Amaterasu-sama's powers, she created this legendary metal named Sacred Sun Orichalcum, and used her very soul to enhance it, giving it a piece of her divine soul… This item is destined to be wielded by the leader of the clans to defend our territory at times of war… But my lord, please take this, our greatest treasure, at least the one in here," said Kaguya.
Kaguya implied that there were other treasures, which were most likely the ones inside the "Inheritances" which one could only enter through the special map that the Clan guarded with their lives.
"So I just wear it…?" sighed Frank.
"Oh! Hahaha, that's not necessary, just take it, and the accessory will take into a preferable form," said Kaguya.
Frank slowly moved his hand towards the hairpin, as its essence continued to create powerful shockwaves, it was as if the sun itself was embracing his hand, he could clearly feel his hand burning and regenerate back through his amazing regeneration abilities.
The moment Frank's hands touched the hairpin, a flash of bright light resonated through the entire room.
FLAAASH!
And as the bright white light took over Frank, he suddenly found himself elsewhere.
It was as if he had reached the heavens, atop the cloud.
In front of him, there was a beautiful lady, with bright yellow-gold eyes and long black hair. Her appearance was like a very beautiful Japanese woman. She had a hint of motherly beauty and also of youthfulness within her. She wore a beautiful kimono decorated with gold, red, and organ colors, flames, and even suns over it.
And behind her, there was a large halo made of yellow-gold light, atop it, there was an enormous sun flashing with light! Frank immediately recognized who this woman was.
"Amaterasu, right?" he asked.
"Oh? You recognized me rather quickly… I wanted to thank you for taking the hand of my lovely granddaughter. She really required a husband already… Oh, and thank you for taking care of my people, your abilities are rather outstanding…" said Amaterasu.
"Ah, no problem. So? Why don't you come down here?" asked Frank.
"I can't, I am quite weakened. And the will of the world asks me to not intervene with mortals unless there is a threat at the level of my own… Going down would also cause too much of a fuss. I prefer to be in my Divine Realm. I hope you can understand," said Amaterasu.
"Oh, I see. Well, let me give you a gift for the accessory," said Frank.
"G-Gift?" asked Amaterasu in surprise, as Frank touched the tall woman's beautiful and delicate pale-white hands and began to infuse his divine energy into hers.
"Divine Lifeblood Bestowal…"
FLAAASH!
"Aahh…! T-This power…"
Frank infused a large amount of divine energy into Amaterasu, which also worked as a healing power, her wound and her exhaustion slowly began to fade away, something that could have taken dozens of years was now happening within seconds!
This power was an update from his Gift of Life, a Skill that was already able to heal someone like Abraddon before when Frank was way weaker. And now, after being upgraded into a Divine Technique, it was healing Amaterasu!
"This is wonderful… I feel so revitalized… My biggest wounds are completely healed…" said Amaterasu.
"That's as much as I can do. You seem to be surprisingly stronger than the Gods of Terra, this planet must of be higher quality or perhaps general power level than Terra… Well, that's it, rest for now," said Frank.
"T-Thank you so much, Frank… You're such a humble man. Let me give you another gift as well,"
Amaterasu moved near Frank as she kissed his cheek.
"E-Eh?!"
Frank was left a bit red as such a glorious goddess, a figure of Japan's mythology kissed him!
Amaterasu smiled lovingly at him, her eyes filled with motherly love.
"It was not just a simple kiss, take care," she said, petting Frank as he disappeared from her Divine Realm…
"Hahh… My heart has begun to beat faster. I am no longer a youthful girl yet I felt like this near this young man…" she sighed.
