the god of magic isiris had requested they obtain the heart of nestiad.
"hold up, why are you agreeing to that just like that?"
that was a quest for cecile, and allen was accepting it without a second thought, so kiel seemed slightly bothered.
they had been silent so far, but sophie, kiel, and dogora had been there too.
"yeah, somehow it feels like cecile got the hardest trial..."
(not really, dogora. you literally had to sacrifice yourself before.)
dogora also ended up agreeing with kiel, but allen denied it in his mind.
dogora had died once, before being reborn as freya's apostle.
isiris looked happy with allen's decision, but he was not done talking yet.
"while i understand having to bring you nestiad's heart, i'd still want cecile to gain a deeper knowledge of magic."
'what do you mean?'
"i'd also like cecile to obtain your divine technique, a divine artifact, and a blessing. i'll obviously obtain the materials you want for that."
allen wanted to trade even more items.
'divine techniques, divine artifact, and blessing... you're certainly ambitious.'
isiris began scribbling on a piece of paper again.
"wait, allen. that's too much for me."
"it's not. the harder the trial the better the reward. i'm sure you'll become a power to be reckoned with when fighting the demon king if we manage to take nestiad's heart."
"but then you might-"
'i'll give you that in exchange for this.'
isiris interrupted their conversation, pushing the piece of paper onto allen.
"wha-?!"
"are you serious?"
"what the hell is that!!"
allen, kiel, and dogora were shocked by it.
[the god of magic isiris' wishlist]
-extra mode: nestiad's heart
-divine technique: dragon god magra's horn
-blessing: shards of the sun and moon
-divine artifact: beast god garm's tail
(i'm so happy she's using letters we can read to write this, i feel like i'm in love.)
all the documents there were written in isiris' holy script, but the notes for allen were written in common letters.
"m-master allen... are you sure about this? getting a higher god's tail might be impossible..."
sophie also could not believe the list.
"she's crazy, telling us to go to a higher god and take his tail..."
even cecile looked pale. she had seen allen fight the god of swords sestavinus, who was also a higher god, and knew just how powerful they were.
the great spirit god easley was also a higher god, but he had not fought them.
(i hoped they'd be all fetch quests, but this is closer to subjugation ones. but i'm not done yet, there has to be more. i doubt this is the hardest trial we can get over.)
allen had been defeated by the god of swords, but he would continue negotiating here.
"god of magic, can i bring the materials in any order?"
'the order doesn't matter, just bring them here soon since i need them.'
"i'll certainly gather them. but i'd like one more reward once all 4 are here."
'a reward?'
kiel and dogora would stay there and update merle on the changes.
allen was glad that they understood his ideas so quickly after traveling together for so long.
kiel entered the magic tent to rest, while dogora trained in front of the earth labyrinth's entrance. allen returned when the sun was almost completely set and the moon was rising.
merle instantly ran up to him, having been waiting for his return.
"ohh! luck is going to join us too, that'll be helpful. rosetta also came."
she was happy seeing all the people who came with allen.
merle was done with her run of the dungeon, and was resting around the campfire.
admiral galara and his party were drinking with habarak like usual.
"huh? there's nothing here, i thought i was supposed to be getting trained?"
'gyau~'
"phew, i finally don't have to continue doing that stupid training! luck, come here too."
everyone voiced their thoughts after teleporting there.
(there's looting involved in the dungeon after all. luck and haku don't look very interested though. i guess that makes sense since kurena isn't here.)
luck looked rather displeased, though rosetta was over the moon.
she quickly sat down and invited luck to sit next to her.
allen had brought luck, rosetta, haku, and the backline of helmios' party sacred.
"this is everyone then?"
everyone sat together to eat, and dogora asked with his mouth full of meat.
"not yet. sophie is still talking to someone, she'll be back soon. cecile, you can rest."
then allen left alone with [nest transfer], and came back soon.
he brought a man that dogora and kiel had seen before.
"so this is the divine realm, and a god's temple."
"yes, and make sure you listen to everything master allen says, gatoruga."
"yes! lady sophiarone!"
allen had brought rosenheim's strongest man gatoruga.
there were only 100 spots open for people who allen could bring to the divine realm, and he used one on gatoruga.
(it's finally time for the main dish. we need him here for anything to happen after all.)
"yes, this is the divine realm. now wait a bit, everyone needs to gather."
"having him with us will be reassuring. i didn't think someone we fought would join us."
"fate works in mysterious ways. i'm glad he agreed to come so readily."
"wait, who are you talking about?"
kiel would soon know who cecile and sophie were talking about. allen teleported away, then used [homing instinct] to bring him there.
there was a powerful gust of wind and the campfire flared up.
"woah?! what's that! it's a giant dragon!!"
gatoruga was startled by everything, shouting in fear.
merle and the rest also held onto their wooden cups so the wind would not blow them away.
allen had brought the dragon king matildora, who had once seeked a new life in the divine realm. he was more than 100 meters tall, and flew in circles above the earth labyrinth.
'oh? so this is the temple of the god of earth gaia. oh, i see...this is why i am here...dragon god magra.'
"precisely. now that everyone's gathered, let's start our discussion."
the dragon king looked down into the earth labyrinth's entrance.
after reorganizing the members who would go into the dungeon, allen took the stand to address them.
"
