Chapter 79 - Chakra Armament

"So, should we do it now? I was enjoying my time with beauties when you summoned my soul." said the guardian eagle of eternal darkness."

Zagan looked at him with a dazed expression on his face and asked, "Aren't you sealed by those seven bastards in that place? How come you got beauties there?"

"Reeeeeeeeee," shouted the eagle and told him that he was having fun with beauties in his dream. Zagan nodded his head and didn't comment anything on that eagle's wild fantasy.

Standing opposite to Zagan, Howk was getting bored all these time, out of nowhere that eagle came and both of them started their stand up comedy, reducing his on-screen time. He aimed at the eagle and threw one of his discs towards him.

But to his disdain it was all in vain, the guardian eagle saw the incoming attack and caught the disc with his feathery wings. Howk's disc Howzer was sharp enough to cut through a mountain, but got caught by a lil bird!!! 

"Wtf is that bird?!!" mumbled Sir Jean.

In the meantime, after searching up her browser history Yoshino finally found the book that he had read from an online library. She downloaded that book again and showed it to Sir Jean and Aryan.

The Guardian Eagle Of Eternal Darkness

Once upon a time, there was an eagle who gained Sagehood (Immortality )by making a breakthrough in his knowledge and wisdom. After getting the title of the Sage he roamed around the world helping others and spreading his acquired knowledge for the world's good.

After some decades, words about a wise bird soaring throughout the universe helping others reached the ears of the Sage Emperor. To check the genuineness of the news he made a test for the eagle and directed him into it. And as expected by the other Sages he passed the test and got recognition from the Sage Emperor. 

As a reward, he was given a small amount of power of the Sage Emperor and the title of Guardian Eagle of the Heavens. Over the years he piled up achievements and got an acknowledgement of the other emperors. Every time he pleased an emperor of heaven he would get a part of their power as a reward as he got from the Sage Emperor.

Seeing his authority and power rising day by day the other guardians of heaven made a conspiracy and sent him to the Well of Eternal Darkness to fetch water from there.

While he was fetching water he got a heavy attack from his behind and fell into the well. He snapped out of his pain and tried to fly up to the surface, but to his disdain the other guardians sealed the well with their powers, leaving him inside that wall to spend eternity.

For half a millennia the Guardian Eagle of the Heavens vanished from the world, even the Sage Emperor couldn't trace out his whereabouts. Days passed on and the name of the Guardian Eagle got forgotten with the flow of time.

But one day the seal on the Well of Eternal Darkness got removed by someone and the eagle of knowledge and wisdom rose up again. But not as the Guardian Eagle of the Heavens, but as the Guardian Eagle of the Eternal Darkness, the corrupted God….

"Sigh, so this bird is that guardian bird?" asked Sir Jean.

Yoshino nodded his head and said, "Yesn't."

Sir Jean got confused by her statement and asked her to explain in detail. Yoshino agreed on her request and told them about the after story in a small summary.

"After the bird got out from the well, he spread chaos throughout the world, not a single place was devoided of his wrath. The balance of the world got distorted. To maintain the balance again all the Emperors of the Heavens asked the Seven Sages for help."

'Again these Seven Sages!! Just who are they?' pondered Aryan.

"But instead of killing that bird, the Seven Sages sealed him in a place where no one can reach except them and the chosen one."

Aryan "...."

"Before vanishing from the world they have told their disciplines that a day will come when the chosen one will take birth and will purge the evil beyond that seal"

Aryan "....."

"But over the millennium, that bird found ways to send a part of his soul to the demons when they summon him, and in exchange, he will take a part of their iniquity."

"Iniquity?!! What does that mean?" Aryan intervened.

"Ahhh… How to explain… Yes, understand it like this. You know about virtue?" asked Yoshino.

"Yes, virtue means the good karma you gain from doing a good deed or work."

"Yes, like that iniquity is the bad karma you gain from doing a bad work."

"Evil deed, to be more precise," added Sir Jean.

"I see, understood. So this birdy comes to help demons on their summon, and take a part of their evil karma with them, right?"

"Yes, you are right."

Aryan was about to ask how he aids demons but he got his answer before asking that question, the Guardian Eagle flew high up towards the sky. Zagan too flapped his massive, broad wings and flew up into the sky.

Howk was getting ready to attack them with his disc, but Sir Jean stopped him and asked him to wait and let them do what they were doing. Both the bird and Zagan went up to the same level into the sky and closed the distance between them. Aryan was pondering what they were planning and what they were gonna do but before he deduced something yet again, he got his answer.

The Guardian Eagle transformed into a set of shiny silver armor and attached itself to Zagan's huge body.

Baaam!!!

Zagan landed on the arena, his whole body was covered in silver-plated armor, and on his hand was a silver-plated bow, his cow-like face was not visible, not anymore.

Only his eyes were shining from inside of it, giving Howk and the spectator nearby a freezing chill. Howk called Sir Jean again and asked if he can attack him or not, this time Sir Jena didn't stop him and asked him to go all out. Hearing to his order on call, a smirk appeared on Howk's face.

He closed his eyes and returned his soul weapons to his soul sea. Everyone present there including Aryan and Yoshino had a confused expression on his face. 

'Ehhh…. Why did he return back his soul weapons?' was the thought in everyone's mind. 

Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!

Howk was exhaling out all the air in his body and getting ready to do something Aryan looked at Sir Jean and asked him about him, but he didn't reply anything and pointed his finger towards the battlefield.

Howk clenched his beasts and exhaled out the air inside him for the last time 

Huuuuuuuuf!!!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the chakra around Howk began to swirl around him, the amount of chakra around him was increasing with each passing minute. Just within a fraction of seconds, the swirling chakra around him took the shape of a tornado.

Aryan was completely baffled by the events happening before him.

'First Howk did some huff huff huff thingy and now he got himself in the eye of that chakra tornado!! The heck!! Just what in the world is happening here?!!' pondered Aryan, his mind was in complete chaos at that time. At one point he was even thinking of doing that huff huff and see if anything happens or not.

While he was busy wrecking his old modeled processor, Yoshino gasped in shock and looked towards Sir Jean with eyes full of astonishment. She couldn't believe what she was seeing in front of her, she calmed down her excitement and asked Sir Jean "Bruhhh, don't tell me he is forming a chak….."

"Yes, he is." intervened Sir Jean.

"What the?!! Since when can a third stage practitioner can form chakra armament around them?" asked Yoshino with astonishment. Because it was something that a fourth stage and above practitioner can do, doing it at the third stage was completely impossible, but at the same time Howk was making one before her eyes.

"Not everyone can do it, but that kid is a battle frenzy. He found his own way of doing it, before reaching the fourth stage."

"I see, even then….., You have really gotten yourself a bright star out there." complimented Yoshino.

Sir Jean laughed at her and said he met the kid by coincidence and recruited him after that.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Howk was standing alone in the eye of the chakra storm, like the spectators both Zaga and the Guardian Eagle had a confused expression on their faces.

Howk closed his eyes and shouted Ha!!

All the chakra energy swirling around him got sucked into his body and his figure became hidden with all that energy around him.. After some time, the remaining energy dispersed.
