The armour of the Lost Warrior—Eric Bloodfla.
A mythical item that the legendary warriors left behind after he poured his life essence, soul, and divine energy he accumulated while battling against the Demons all those years.
The artifact had the Valenchide Empire all this ti.
The legendary artifact is a full-body armour that covers everything but above the neck. The reason why it was so highly regarded was that, regardless of any spell or assault, the armour would withstand the effect and convert it into kinetic energy which the wearer could utilize to attack them back.
It is said and from what I have seen in the ga, this armour can even hold out against a Lord-rank demon—which was a rank below a Devil.
If I have to summarise what the armour can do then it can turn a person immune to death, no less.
However, this armour was not sothing I should have been receiving. Later in the story when Logan has to go against Demons, much higher than him in ranking and experience, he needs this armour to defend himself and the people around him. On his shoulders rested the safety of the Academy and possibly the whole of mankind. And for , a side character, to obtain this boon....
Well, I am not gonna reject such a broken artifact just because it would be useful for the Protagonist.
When the ti cos I would gladly hand it over to Logan, but until that ti there was no harm for to possess this legendary armour and use it for my benefits.
However the question arises,
"I don't possess Divine Blood...how am I going to wield the armour?"
I couldn't help asking myself as I stood beside Alatia.
After leaving Edmund's room she was having breakfast when I initiated this conversation.
Her spoon halted before she turned to look at in puzzlent.
"Haven't you heard about Blood Ritual?"
I blinked in surprise before asking her, "But blood ritual can only be done between awakened people right?"
Alatia shook her head before enlightening , "It is a completely unrestrained and unconditional ritual that can be perford by anyone."
I wanted to ask her sothing more, but seeing that she had resud eating, I refrained.
"Don't hold back and ask, Kyle."
Encouraged by her, I finally asked her, "In this ritual, I would intake the blood of a divine awakened, not a regular one right?"
There are two types of awakened—Divine and Regular. Those with Elental and Spiritual attributes co under the latter type. While those who possess Light attributes are called Divine Awakened.
Soone like Alatia who had Divine Awakening and Elental Awakening as well is regarded as Dual-awakened.
And to wield that armour I need Divine essence inside of or the armour would reject as a wearer.
"Ah, yes. Although my brothers would probably offer soone else with Divine Blood, I have already resolved to feed Kyle with my blood."
....that sadistic smile is sowhat creepy Alatia.
'....oh crap!' Suddenly I realized sothing that made my heart shrink in fear.
I turned my focus to Alatia before asking, "Umm, my lady, after breakfast can I excuse myself for so hours? There is an urgent matter I need to look after."
I used every bit of my self-control to not let my anxiety appear in my voice. However, it still didn't help as Alatia raised a questioning brow at and asked,
"Is there sothing you are hiding from , Kyle?"
I sotis resent the fact that I am so transparent to Alatia.
"...it's not sothing important. I need to...uh....prepare for any future attack on my lady. Yeah, that's it."
I think this was a believable lie since the trials have yet to conclude and as such, I need to be fully prepared to not let sothing like yesterday repeat.
"Hmm?"
Regardless of what believable excuse I present she was not going to let go—was what I discerned from that look.
Alright, ti for plan B.
Since the maids standing at a side could only see our backs, I leaned slightly forward and slid my hand on her arm before holding the back of her hand gently.
"...for my Ala, I don't want to take any risk and be completely prepared for any unforeseen situation. Am I not allowed to?"
Her grip on the spoon loosened up and her shoulders tensed. The way her ears began to turn red and Alatia fidgeted at her place made feel guilty yet amused at the sa ti.
"....fine. Do whatever you want."
I wanted to hug the adorable princess right away but I held it back and stood back up.

After separating from Alatia, who had history class at this hour, I went to the library.
There were many books in the library which contained many events and war details from the past.
My current concern was to know more about Blood Ritual and also the recorded cases of success and failures.
From the basic knowledge I have, Blood Ritual binds two people under a spell which can be used for various purposes. The Blood Ritual was originally invented by the Witches of ancient tis.
Its main focus was to let two people connect and share. In complicated words, if person A is connected to person B, and person A's life value is significant for the greater good, then person B can share their magic, organs, blood, and even life span with person A.
Although the ritual has various necessities if soone wants to share their life span with soone, it is an undeniable fact that Blood Ritual can extend one's life by several years.
However, it also has so limits and restrictions.
That's why I was here.
I, a person who uses dark magic in the form of those straw dolls am about to assimilate the blood of a Divine Awakened. It sounds like mixing oil and water.
I am searching for the probable outco that can result from this fusion.
'Blod ritual....hmm....' Going through several books and records I finally found those recorded rituals which happened during the Great War between Demons and Humans.
Around that ti, many humans were enslaved by demons and the sa was true for this side. Naturally, they would use their slaves to extend their lifespan, as such, it didn't take ti to find a case where a Divine Awakened perford a blood ritual with Curse User and tried assimilating his blood into the demon.
[....although the hopes were dim, the war was reaching its peak as such humanity needed an abomination that could fight against the Demons. The demon chosen for the ritual was of a Chief-class and the divine awakened around the sa rank. Initially, the blood ritual was established normally, however, the transfer of blood from the divine being to the demon failed miserably—causing the demon to explode into several fragnts.]
[Since there were adverse effects on the Divine Awakened as well, this ritual cannot be used as a weapon against demons as well.]
[In short, the experint was an utter failure.]
My face went pale reading through the report of the experint and several other experints that involved a demon and a human. In every case, both parties incurred damage.
'....I can't let this happen.' Although the mythical armour was a cheat item, I couldn't risk my and Alatia's life for this
However, the concern arises: How am I going to explain this to Alatia?
I was so deep in my thoughts that I completely missed the prying eyes looking at the case study I was reading.
The mont I felt a gaze on , and I turned, the person disappeared
'Am I hallucinating now?' At that ti, I couldn't have anticipated how much my lack of awareness was going to cost .
*******
A/N:- Ah....welp. Drop a comnt.
