Danmachi: Westward Cloud [Complete]

[Vol.3] Quest 275.5- Ripple/Rift

Room of Prayer.

"Hmm…" Ouranos has a concerned look on his face.

"Lord Ouranos, is something the matter?" asked Fels.

"Yes. I felt a Ripple happen."

"Ripple?"

"It is when the fabric of the world has had a disturbance. My only guess would be because of the Primordial Flame of Heaven. It has stayed in Gekai for too long and has started to create holes from its corruption, thus it becomes a Rift. A tear in space and time that leads to other worlds."

"Then should we send a god to purify it?"

"There is only one god who could, Hestia, and one mortal that can as well."

"A-a mortal? Who is it?"

"It is Nox. Her attributes could very well cleanse the flame, but…"

"What is it, Lord Ouranos?"

"… You will need to go along with Nox and Cirrus, as should the worst happen, you may have to use your Resurrection Magic."

"!!" Fels freezes a bit. "A-are you sure? Can Lady Hestia not go?"

"This is a world-threatening problem. As per his labor, Cirrus has to deal with it. But for now, since Cirrus is back to being a boy, that labor is put on a halt until he is back to his adulthood. I'm sure Prometheus will eventually send their children to claim Hestia for the purification."

"So we must wait for Lord Prometheus' children to come? Can we not go to them?"

"They live in the first city of humanity, Olympia. It has been hidden by them for millennia now. We lost its location to current times."

"… Then we will wait. Hopefully, this doesn’t do any serious damage."

"Yes. My only fear is if something powerful comes from the Rifts. Let us hope this does not herald the bad things to come."

"Then what do we do about the Rift? Is there a way to fix it?"

"Any god could fix it. They simply need to go to it and use their Arcanum with permission."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. For now we need to find it. The Rift escapes my and all the god's senses."

"Is that also why it's dangerous?"

"Very. We are lucky we can feel when one forms."

Down in the Dungeon.

"Hey Revis, do these Magic Crystal pods glow?" asked Neze.

"…" Revis looks at them and finds several of them glowing. "It seems ‘She’ has sped up their growth."

"Then we need to grow stronger than well."
