The World Of Demons And Gods

It was noon on the grassy field on the western side of spring village, it was a vast field filled with vegetation and crops. In the middle of that field, there was a small hill and above that, there was a single old tree.

Beneath under its shade, there were three figures a mother and two kids, these two were sitting in a lotus position, and both are silently in deep meditation and one was their mother who is there sitting on cross-legged on the ground while looking afar expressing the beauty of the scenery ahead of her.

These three was Shane, Cyrus, and Clair.

....

Within inside of Cyrus on his dantian, He was sitting cross-legged waiting for his element to appear in this dark place, he was attempting to make an oath but he doesn't have any idea what to do now!

Not long after, a heavy but calm voice resonated in this dark void, "Grant me a name and my duty then I shalt grant thou strength and power of I, the master of all flames!"

Cyrus was startled by those words; it also shocked him when this voice could actually easily suppress him! He felt that there was a ton of pressure holding him down, but he chooses to endure it.

T-This is it!

Soon, there was an image of a huge old man as if he was a titan! With a red skin, flaming hair and beard. Wearing a golden scarlet emperor robe that had a dragon and phoenix design on each side of his shoulder, his eyes are golden that was so bright that one cannot see his iris.

Not only that...

He has a godly majestic aura surrounding him and the flames of aura made him looked like he could suppress the heaven and the earth!

He does look like a God of Fire!

"So this is it." Cyrus could not help to smile despite the heavy pressure pressing him down, but this alone made him smiled, he was full of excitement!

So this is my elemental spirit!

Finally, fighting this pressure Cyrus forcefully stood up and looked at the God-like spirit above him with a cold stare with an unwavering determination on his eyes trying to dominate the spirit above him, he then opened his mouth and spoke:

"I Cyrus, the son of the divine sun, in the name of my bloodline Baumgartner, I shall grant thou name that suppresses heavens and the earth! Thou will fight alongside me with your majestic flames that will burn the Heavens, Gods, Evil, and Hell! And purify spirits and save the innocents from corruption and darkness of their hearts! Thou spirit of the emperor of fire, I thee shalt grant thou the name, Hephaestus!"

Cyrus' voice resonates in his dantian, his voice was majestic and like a king looking down on his subjects like knights! This made the huge god-like old man gave a faint trace of a smile on his face.

"Very well."

*Boom!*

Suddenly he exploded into a complete scarlet aura like a star exploding (supernova), then the gas-like aura travels down, and then possesses Cyrus body as if he was absorbing it!

Soon, Cyrus' eyes had a golden light before he suddenly shut his eyes closed. Inside of his thoughts, images and voices could be heard; this is the past life of that old man. Not long after, millions of words that contains information that could make a huge encyclopedia book entered his thoughts; these words contain the fire arts of the spirit!

This is all the skills of that old man!

It's... Too far many!

...

Outside, Shane's body suddenly shook in before jumping out of fright.

She had sensed a powerful fire element aura coming from her back and what she noticed was that it came from Cyrus, this alone made her shocked, and she could not believe that this basic elemental art could be this powerful!

She looked at the surrounding of Cyrus and she could see the flame like aura that has the color of deep scarlet color.

There, a feeling that felt like from a noble but the aura is weak, but she could feel that the temperature around is increasing.

T-this...

Shane could not utter some word, a bead of sweat are starting to appear in her beautiful face.

Then, suddenly, because of increasing temperature and flames coming from Cyrus, the grass around him suddenly ignited, his aura alone can make fresh green grass to burn into crisps!

However, it stopped spreading as the swirls of a fire were being s.u.c.k.e.d back into his body like a magnetic dipole. This spectacle was amazing that could make anyone mesmerize when they saw it.

Cyrus slowly opened both of his eyes and his yellowish eyes had now turned into bright scarlet red eyes. Then he stood up when looked at his hands and seeing the changes in his body he felt satisfied, he then looked at his right forefinger, he created an extremely miniature fire then it danced around the finger in the air.

This was extremely hard to do, that Cyrus gave up doing it before, but now it's like nothing!

My manifestation of fire is really easy now... Cyrus thought.

"So, how did you feel?" Shane asked.

"I feel great! So this is what it feels like being with one with the element!" Cyrus replied happily.

Even though there is a majestic feeling to it and quite intimidating to others, however, Cyrus is still a two years old kid and his body is still fragile and still developing, the fire looked like it could burn anything, but when there is a higher rank on elementary stage it will be nothing when they touched this flame.

Even Shane could touch like its nothing.

...

However, when he got older and his rank is about at knight rank then this fire is no joke! He can still severely damage one rank above him! And even kill them!

Not only that, his physical strength will also be terrifyingly powerful! His punch alone could deliver almost 3k tons of strength!

{A.N: At knight rank, the strength would be multiplied by five, and his cultivation technique alone could multiply by three... the resulting amount would be converted to US tons, making it almost 3k tons if you had time to bother on using a calculator you could check it.}

His defense will also be harder than a steel at that rank!

However, that will be into the future and Cyrus could only imagine what it will be like for now.

Cyrus stopped the flow of his anima then returned to his normal state, his eyes turned back to dark brown. Soon Clair has finally opened her eyes; the feeling of her aura was terrifyingly sharp! It is like a blade ready to cut anything on its path!

Shane was also startled when she saw her as she sensed the power of the technique, it was slightly weaker than Cyrus was and there is a feeling that the two had a huge gap but she cannot describe it.

Seeing her own power had also made Clair happy, as she jumped with excitement, she was swift and fast while holding her sword she swings it around, it was fast but it was not fast enough to create a turbulent, it might look powerful but it is actually can't hurt someone, unless she used a real sword.

Since this is the case, I have no choice but to let them spar to see if who is stronger than the two... Shane thought as she clapped her hands.

"Now that the two of you had made an oath with your elemental spirit, you two will compete with each other in a form of duel, remember this is just sparring, and think of it like a game! It'll make you have experience and also have fun!" Shane smiled brightly as she said that, she was doing this so that she can see the power of the spirits that was bestowed upon her children.

...

Afar from them, there was a man wearing a loose brown robe that could see his wonderfully built c.h.e.s.t, he has a scar on his left cheeks making him looked fierce, but because of a freshly shaved beard, it made him quite looked handsome. He was slowly walking towards the three familiar figures under the shade of the tree. He has a sword on a sheath carrying on his waist.

Shane had already sensed him as she was always surveying the surrounding around them, but she didn't pay him any attention because this man was her husband, James!

Cyrus and Clair had noticed his approaching figure and they quickly recognized their father even though he does not have his distinctive beard anymore, the two easily found out who is this person.

"Father!" 2x

The two called in surprise and happiness, Clair ran towards him and quickly jumped and hug her father, she was cute that made Shane chuckle.

"Wow, father you looked cool and handsome too! It's been two years since father shaved your beard!" Clair looked at him with her eyes shining and blushing!

Even Shane when she looked at him, she could not help to feel happy and soft.

Even though she hates his perverted side, she was still attracted to his handsome side, no, even if he looked derp, she will still love him madly,

"Hahaha, your mother had been pestering me about it, Daddy can't do anything when your mother is angry." James laughed loudly.

T-this man! Shane fiercely stared at him.

"James! Hmph, I never said anything like that!" Shane stomped her foot then turned around with her arms crossed.

(T-tsundere?!)

"Che! You keep saying, "I would love to see your face clean and- yadayada ... you know." James went closer towards Shane and held her two crossed arms on her back, hearing this made Shane blushed, "Forget that!!!" Shane was so embarrassed and kicked James' foot.

"Ow!" James jumped pulling his foot back while carrying Clair in his arms.

"What do you mean "You know" father? Quickly tell me!" Clair suddenly got intrigued.

Hearing this startled James and didn't know how to say it, "Eh?? Ah? Eh... ah! You know, I mean, she will make me a special dinner tonight!" James blurted out.

"That's it? Really? Then why mother is blushing though?" Clair weirdly asked and came up with a question; this made James silent and blushing while looking away from his daughter.

Meanwhile, Cyrus also averted his gaze away from them because he had already seen through it with his awkward situation and did not pay attention to it.

"A-Anyway! So what are you guys doing here?" trying to break the awkwardness James asked suddenly not replying to his daughter question.

"Hey I'm a-" Before Clair could finish her speaking, Shane suddenly spoke: "I had taught them cultivation and made them an oath." She said.

Clair pouted, as she did not say anything.

James looked at his surroundings and he could feel a cultivation technique similarly to him, and when he noticed that the feeling is coming from his son, Cyrus, he was shocked but then pleased with it.

"Wow, so my little sun had already learned my cultivation technique ey? Oh! You also made an oath with elemental spirit! I'm proud of you, hahaha." James laughed proudly, as a father who would not be proud to see his son extremely talented at such a young age.

However, hearing this, Clair frowned while she is hugging her father on his neck while she is on his arms. Then she quickly tugged his head shaking him, "Father, I too have made an oath! She was pretty and a Phoenix too!" She said with a haughty look on her face, but it made her even cuter.

"Oh! A wind phoenix ey? That is amazing! It's definitely top notch!" James exclaimed.

"Well, of course! Whaha," Clair raised her c.h.e.s.t up then laughed crazily... She really loves being praised huh.

Praise me! Praise me more! Clair enjoyed his father's praise, and then she remembered something.

Clair looked at Cyrus with a smile on her face, "Little brother, what about you? What kind of beast is it?" She asked.

Quite startled by the sudden call, Cyrus looked up to his sister with a wry smile on his face, "Hm, well honestly mine is actually different. It's not a beast." He said while scratching his cheeks with his left hand.

Eh? Not a beast?

Hearing this made the three shocked and startled, Clair was confused, but the two couple was shocked and quickly inquired Cyrus by asking, "It's not a beast? Then what does it looks like?"

Cyrus obviously noticed the sudden reaction of his family especially his two parents.

Did I say something not normal? This made Cyrus quite nervous.

"I-It was a human, actually it was an old man with a fiery beard and hair, its eyes were shiny as gold and blindly bright," Cyrus said in details as he describes his elemental spirit, then continued, "Is it weird?" He asked.

"..."

Not responding to his question the two were quiet and actually thinking, the two could not believe what Cyrus had said! Clair did not know what is happening but she knew that it was weird and confusing because elemental spirits are supposed to be beast, only beast! Therefore, it could not be a person!

Shane's elemental spirits are all elemental beast, and even James' elemental spirits are the same, a beast! Not only that, everyone in the continent of Celestia is the same!

"Did you receive his memory son? Can you tell us?" James asked.

"Y-yes, but it was still blurry and hard to understand. But I could tell that he was extremely powerful and had an ill.u.s.trious background." Cyrus replied quite scared.

Shane did not speak, and quietly looked at her son thinking, "This is weird, and does it have a connection to his tattoo on his c.h.e.s.t?" Shane deeply thought.

"Cyrus, my son could remove your clothes." Said, James.

This however startled Cyrus, because he definitely knew about his parents knowing the tattoo on his c.h.e.s.t because when he was born he could already feel that they had talked about the thing on his c.h.e.s.t, and now they had thought that having a human elemental spirit have a connection on his tattoo.

To avoid suspicions of his parents, Cyrus acted not knowing anything and obediently removed his clothes on the front of his family.

....

The couple directly looked and focusing on the Yinyang tattoo on Cyrus's c.h.e.s.t with their special eyes that had been activated silently scanning him. Not long after they were startled when they saw an obvious change in the Yinyang tattoo. Beneath the Yinyang, there is a flowerbed of fiery scarlet roses.

It looked beautiful and magnificent, using their special eyes; the couple could feel that now that Yinyang tattoo has a special feeling to it, it was fierce!

"It really did have a connection..." Shane blurted silently that she could not help to say it with a shocked look in her eyes, her voice was silent, but soft, even though it was quiet, Cyrus heard it completely. This made Cyrus shocked deep inside without letting his shock expression on the outside.

James, who had been quiet, pointed his finger at the tattoo and a wisp of energy flew into the air towards the tattoo, both when it touched the tattoo, it quickly dissipated as if it was s.u.c.k.e.d in!

"!!!"

The two was shocked after seeing it.

Cyrus was quiet and maintaining his expression from not letting out because when he looked down he obviously noticed the changes on his tattoo!

Meanwhile, Clair who had no idea what are her parents looking at on Cyrus' c.h.e.s.t with a serious look on their face, she could not help to get uneasy and looked at her brother with intense stare at him.

Does my brother have a nice c.h.e.s.t!?

...

Shane pulled James' shirt then pulling him away from her kids before looking at them with a smile on her face, "Son, wear your clothes back now and prepare for your sister to have a sparring match." She said.

James slowly puts down Clair and went along with his wife.

"Did you sensed anything?" Shane asked.

"No, the aura that I sent out to investigate it had actually s.u.c.k.e.d in preventing me gathering information about it... This is really strange." James said with a serious look on his face while putting his dominant hand on his chin.

His response made Shane startled and worry have completely enveloped her beautiful face." Does my son have been hiding something?" She asked herself, but this made her startled and quickly punched the tree leaving a small punch mark on the tree making it shake intensely, what the heck I am thinking! Of course, it is impossible!

James was startled when Shane suddenly struck out her fist into the tree, not knowing what his wife was actually thinking.

Cyrus was still a kid who clearly does not know anything yet, and before he was born, he had already had it, so there is no way! But why does it entered into my mind?! Shane angrily asked herself.

"Is this a curse or a gift from heavens?" Shane silently asked silently to herself as she bit her beautiful lips.
