Way of the Knights

---

One array that is filled with a pseudo-Slaughter Intent, one that is fueled and influenced by Cleansing Flames, one depicts the element of Destruction , one influenced by Spacetime Laws and another one filled with Raven's indomitable Will.

Five of the same basic array yet each one was vastly different from another. Even Raven could hardly believe what he's seeing right now. 

He couldn't help but to stare at the Brush of Wisdom a little bit more. It was truly an miraculous item.

"That being said, it's still capable of doing so much more. Very well, I've got time to spare anyways. I'll focus on learning seals and runes from now on." Raven decided as he dispersed the arrays he created just now and kept the Brush of Wisdom. 

As a Divine ranked Spiritual Treasure and one of the Treasures of Zeus, the Brush of Wisdom was stored differently. Instead of placing it inside a spatial ring, it is absorbed into his body instead, more specifically on the mark on his forehead. 

Raven closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. He then began laying down orders to his Avatars so that he'll have more seals to use onwards. 

'It'll do me good to create unique seals based since that will be the most suitable for me.' Raven inwardly thought. 

He then took some time to adjust his future plans. Learning and creating seals takes a long time to do, he had to do some precise calculations in order to make sure that he's using his time wisely. 

Raven's ear twitched as he heard a clacking sounds nearby. He opened his eyes and saw Kyrie walking towards him and she wasn't alone. 

"Hey!" Raven greeted as he saw several War Gods behind her. 

"Young Lord, the War Gods came to visit you. Also, here's the things you wanted to me to fetch." Kyrie said as she passed the spatial ring back to him which contains the items he needed as well as the badge that he gave to her earlier. 

"Thanks a lot." Raven nodded and accepted the ring. Kyrie then excused herself, leaving Raven and the War Gods to take amongst themselves. 

"How are you Raven?" Henry asked as they all sat down on the table. 

"I've completely recovered. Thanks for looking out for me." He replied. 

"Compared to what you did on behalf of the sect and for us, what we did isn't much. It's all thanks to you this time." Henry said solemnly. 

Raven didn't say anything and only brushed his nose. Henry smiled and said: "Here, let me make some introductions..."

"This is Celestine Agnes. We call her Dominatrix. I remember introducing her earlier to you, back in the War Ship during our way back here." Henry stated. 

"Right, I can still remember that." Raven chuckled, he then nodded at Celestine and she did the same. 

"Next to her is Paolo the Taotie War God." 

"Yo! My name is Paolo, you can call me that or Taotie, whichever you like. There are only three things which concerns me and that is the triple F."

"Triple F? What's that?" Raven asked curiously, unaware of the unusual faces of the other War Gods. 

"Fight, Feast and Fuck. In no particular order." Paolo stated, proudly at that. 

Raven was speechless. Although he could already tell that this guy had a very 'peculiar' personality, he wasn't expecting it to go this far.

"A-ah, I see..."

"So? Wanna fuc-Owww!"

Before Paolo could even ask his question, a hand smacked the back of his head. It came from the person beside him who's glaring at Paolo. 

"Ignore him. He's a hopeless case." The man beside him looked at Raven not before giving Paolo a ruthless pinching. "I'm Levi. If this big-headed loon bothered you in the future, tell me. I'll fix him up for 'ya."

Raven couldn't say anything so he merely nodded in acknowledgement. 

"Ow! Ow! B-babe! Stop pinching me already!" Paolo whined softly.

"Wha-! Hmph! That's what you get for embarrassing us!" Levi reprimanded while sporting a blush on his face.

"What? I didn't do anything wrong. I'm merely stating facts!" Paolo whined even more. "Ah, that reminds me, didn't I say I'm going to give a month long fuck-Owwww!!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Levi's face was red as he was quite legitimately strangling Paolo right now. 

Raven was confused as he witnessed what was happening in front of him. Henry and Celestine on the other hand just shook their heads. They were used to the bantering of these two. Celestine leaned towards him and said:

"Don't mind these two." She said, "That's just how they are in their natural habitat. You'll get used to it."

"She's right." Henry chimed in. "They're happily married despite how they act. It's just that Paolo's a little bit of a dumbass - "

"Little bit?" Celestine snorted.

"Okay, a huge dumbass, happy?" Henry rolled his eyes at Celestine. "Anyways back to what I was saying. Just don't mind then much when they're like this. Paolo's loyal to Levi, him being horny all the time is the side effect of his Bloodline the Godly Taotie Bloodline."

"Ahh! Now that you mentioned it. I remember reading some text regarding that bloodline." Raven stated, "Basically, food and sex is another way for them to cultivate. The purer the Taotie Bloodline one has, the more intense this side-effects has."

Henry and Celestine was surprised. 

"That's impressive. And yes, it's exactly as you say." Henry nodded. "Amongst us, Paolo has the highest potential. He might not be the youngest amongst the War Gods since Celestine is here, but when it comes to escalating strength, he's undoubtedly number one."

Raven nodded. He could tell why. 

Godly Taotie Bloodline possessors could erupt the most tyrannical brute strength that is capable to shaking the heavens and trample the earth. At least that's what he remembered. He could also tell that Paolo's young. Not older than 1000 years old, yet he's already at this stage on his cultivation. 

Henry, Celestine and Raven talked to themselves without paying attention to the two. At some point, they noticed them calming down, not because they reconciled but because Levi managed to knock Paolo up without them noticing. 

Tossing him on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes, Levi stood up cleared his throat and said: "R-really sorry about this. I got to take him back before he starts rampaging like a wild animal. Let's talk some other time alright?"

"Sure, thanks for stopping by Sir Levi." Raven politely bid him goodbye. 

Levi smiled and nodded at him. Yet before he could disappeared from their sight, Henry shouted:

"Make sure to satiate him completely, Levi. Also, make sure to completely isolate the sounds. If you don't then your neighbors will complain to the Grand Elder again!"

"I'm rooting on you Levi! You can do this!" Celestine didn't hesitate to join in as well.

Levi stumbled on his steps, he looked back at the two and gave them a fierce glare however his face was completely flushed red like a tomato so it didn't look as intimidating as he wanted and only caused the two to laugh even harder. Even Raven himself, let out a few chuckles.

Unable to endure their jeers anymore, Levi summoned his wings and promptly disappeared from their sight. 

"Looks like they're gone." Henry stated. "Ah! Shit, that idiot! He completely forgot the purpose of our visit!"

Celestine also gasped and said: "Dang, you're right!! But we're mostly at fault for that."

"Mn?" Raven tilted his head in confusion.

"Ah, sorry about that. We got a bit carried away." Henry stated, he then cleared his throat and said: "Actually, Grand Elder gave us a task before concerning you. Levi should be the one who's supposed to explain it but he left."

"Is it urgent?" Raven asked, "If it is, then I don't see why you two can't explain it for him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

"I was actually going to do just that." Henry smiled and said: "Don't worry, it isn't going to be another arduous mission. We're experiencing a little bit of peace and quiet thanks to you."

"Thanks to your efforts, you trumped over a major plan of the Devils. They lost a great deal this time around so they won't be doing anything rash for a period of time...at least that's what we hope." Celestine stated. 

Raven was similarly hoping for that as well. Even though he made a complete recovery, he's still a nit hesitant to go on another mission like that specially now that he had tons of things to do. 

"The Task is quite simple this time, there's no time limit either so you can relax." Henry stated. "Remember the seal that you placed on the 9th and 12th floor?"

Raven nodded to express his acknowledgement. 

"Grand Elder wanted to know if you are able to make more of that. So far, the seal you placed on those floors were extremely effective and it made the disciples' live easier. Additionally, Grand Elder wants to know if you can create more of the same formation that you were using back on Asphodel, you know, the one that can convert the hear to cold winds? Of course it won't be for free...."
