|3rd POV|
Miu smiles when she sees that the offering she prepared was taken away by a familiar hand. When she saw her offering taken away, it verified that she was right. She was right in that a God descended to the Mortal plane, and she witnessed it firsthand.
She turns around and smiles smugly at the people who watch her give the offering. Her husband made a small shrine for the Lord God, who saved her from darkness.
"See? I am not lying. He does listen and accept my offering!"
Hinoa, the Village Quest Maiden, nods her head in mute shock. As someone who hunted a lot in the past, she starts to think there are no gods, and the people who write history think Elder Dragons are Gods.
Lately, however, her belief has been tested when she sees the resurrection of someone, and now, it is a portal leading somewhere. She knows about the Elder Dragon and their power. She knows one Elder Dragon, Chameleos, which makes a nest in the Shrine Ruins.
However, Chameleos has already been taken care of by this so-called Lord God. By the sound of it, it is quite fast because there is no explosion or roar of defiance from the Elder Dragon. She knows that Chameleos is a lower-rank Elder Dragon, but it is still an Elder Dragon.
Its venom is very potent and can even melt hunters' weapons made from monsters' parts. When it grows old enough, it can drown Kamura in its venom. She knows that Elder Fugen will take care of the Elder Dragon, but his presence on the frontline is needed, and he does not have time to make the Elder Dragon leave Shrine Ruins and make a nest somewhere else.
He is the reason why the New Red Stronghold still stands to this day and the reason why the old one fell after a week of non-stop fighting. He is fighting a massive Magnamalo that is destroying the first and second gates of the Old Red Stronghold.
He might be old, but Elder Fugen is the strongest fighter in the village and even outside of it. He is why Kamura is a village stronger than even the kingdom's hunter guild.
She shakes her head and says.
"It looks like we need to add more things to Omnevis' profile."
Omnevis. That is the name Elder Fugen, and the other is made for this dragon. It means All-Sky and Elemental Storm God in the Old Tongue. The reason? He looks like a Sky God in mythology.
A quadruped dragon that can resurrect people by giving them a new breath of life.
Miu agrees with that name but holds back a little because she is afraid that it is not the name of her new God.
Hinoa shakes her head and says.
"Anyway, when can we enter the Shrine Ruins region, Miu? After all, we need to deliver our steel to Yukumo Village. We can use the hidden route, but we don't want to offend him."
Kamura village is known for its steel products. Many countries are willing to go far to buy steel from Kamura, and among them is the Yukumo Village. If Kamura is known for its steel, Yukumo village is known for its hot springs.
It is a village where many tourists come to relax. It is a peaceful village where monsters are rarely found near the village. It is one of the safe zones in the area. However, because of the rampage happening from the north, even Yukumo is threatened by the monsters.
For this reason, they ordered a lot more steel from Kamura to arm the hunters who were staying in the village.
Hinoa looks at Miu and continues.
"Maybe you can ask him through your prayer?"
Miu looks at Hinoa and wants to tell her that her faith will not be used as a messenger. However, she knows this is important because it is better to be scolded by her god than to anger him for letting others enter his domain.
"I shall try."
"Thank you, Miu."
She nods and kneels in front of the small shrine in front of her. She clasps her hands and starts to pray.
"O Lord, forgive me for asking for more of your blessing. However, this humble servant wants to ask if my fellow humans can walk through your domain? I am sorry for being rude, my lord. I beg your forgiveness."
She expects to be ignored, but to her surprise, a portal appears in front of her, and he can hear her lord's voice from the portal.
"Your people can use a part of the Shrine Ruins region once again. No monsters shall disturb them. However, beware. They are forbidden to enter the Eastern Area. They cannot use the Sub-Camp in their journey, or they will be attacked."
Miu looks at Hinoa, who nods her head, and the young wyverian says.
"We are thankful for generosity, Lord Omnevis."
"... Is that what your kind calls me?"
Hinoa looks at the portal in shock and fear before quickly saying.
"We are sorry for giving you your name, my lord! We can erase that name if it offends you."
They can hear Omnevis grunt and say.
"I am not offended. You can use that name if you want."
After he says that, the portal closes up, and all the people who hear the conversation release a huge sigh of relief. They are relieved that the Talking and Powerful dragon is not offended by the name they chose for him.
"Well!"
Hinoa and Miu turn around and see Elder Fugen standing not too far away from them.
"Elder Fugen!"
"Elder! Are you listening?"
The strongest person in the village nods his head and says.
"Not all of them. However, I am listening to the part of him telling us we can walk through the shrine Ruins to deliver the steel to Yukumo Village."
"What about the people from the Yukumo Village, Elder? Should we tell them about the part of the Shrine Ruins region?"
"We shall respect the rule made by Lord Omnevis. We will inform them about this rule and make sure they respect it. We don't want calamity to befall us."
"I understand, Elder. I shall go with them to inform them about this news."
"You do that, Hinoa."
Fugen looks to the sky and wonders if this is an omen of good news or bad news. He can only wait and see. However, he hopes that this is the former instead of the latter. The only thing he can do is to train the new generation of hunters and hope for the best.
