"What do we do?" Rey stopped everyone by asking a simple question. "What do we do to help you? If you are telling us you can remove and fix him instead of sealing, then tell us. What do we do?" The question should have been asked sooner. There was a grand elental spirit with answers to the problems that were happening, a spirit that could answer their questions later.
"That is the attitude you should have instead of coming another blockage of flow. You will join with my equals. Only the proper fusion of elental mana within this poor being's body can free them from the pain they carry. Then it shall flow away and bring them back to their intended flow."
From what Walker was hearing, the sin title was given to Greed for so treason. But the title had been a curse of sorts that the world had given. Not a blessing. "Rey, good job." Walker had refocused when he heard Rey. This was simply because she was able to put aside her other focuses and fears of this sin title holder going rampant again.
"You are missing my equal of darkness. Who will pick up the mana and raise it to equality?" Luna was a water spirit that demanded things to proceed as intended. The flow of nature and flow of water were the sa in her eyes. It was the grand understanding she had co to by becoming a grand water spirit.
This wasn't all, she may have been younger out of the elental spirits, but she had stood alone much longer. The other elental spirits t each other. They had interacted. But Luna had not done so. She waited for nature to bring them together without the impending and changing the flow. This was the pure ideal she lived.
"I can manage that." Onyx slithered out from the direction of the cathedral. He had left Slice to maintain Mordant. He knew that he had the elental affinity to make the shadows do what was needed.
"Then one that holds the blood of the ancients may join us." This surprised everyone again. Luna recognized that there was such a monster in front of them at a glance. It told them all she knew more than they expected. She rembered more than they expected.
"Co on." Su was already standing next to the statue of Greed. Luna had floated back to allow them all to take a space.
"We will help as well. One of our-" Ventus had started in before she saw that Current had already moved forward.
"I may be weak at the mont, but I am Current, the water royal dragon. I should be able to bolster the water here." Luna just glanced and nodded at him. This was of no issue to her. A grand elental spirit without a partner was going to be held back by the others. She had to have a small back up to manage the sa.
As much as everyone wanted to ask questions, or even fight this act, they could not. Gil was clearly biting his lip on the matter. The attack of Greed had caused a lot of people pain. However, he had to accept that people would have so issues if they didn't do as Luna desired. If they didn't properly bring the elental energies and grand elental spirits together that had falsely joined before.
"We are ready." The mix of mana was already growing. Even though the other grand elental spirits did not show themselves, the spirit marks showed that they were involved.
"So I must bring the elental energy together within Greed's statue? That's all?" Walker wasn't sure what he was doing but could feel the natural mana that had caused the seal. He knew that he was directly interfering with it and was having a hard ti trusting that Luna was correct.
"You must. You are the center of mana in the future. It will flow to you regardless now." Luna seed to be looking ahead in ti. It made Walker wonder just how great the flow of the world was. How great the understanding of a grand elental spirit could reach if they focused on the ideals behind their existence.
With a deep breath, Walker reaches out and touched the statue of Greed that is now being bombarded by mana. The imdiate response from the world is enough to tell that it is what should be happening.
'The world rembers, the dream walker.'
Mana converged on the group draining them of their energy while the statue seed to shift faces. No longer was greed a demonic monster. The statues was changing in shape. The obsessed eyes that were carved in madness had beco calm and soft. The shapes of claws and scale on the body smoothed while the horns that had been turned downward shift in to a high up point. It was a totally different being.
'The records of Greed; the punished sin have been removed. Return, Dream walker. Bring your power from the abyss and revel in your lesson.'
The world seed to speak with Fleur's voice as much as the system. It was a great feeling that made all of them understand that these sin titles that forcefully brought out these beings' negative traits were a punishnt. That not all titles were considered a blessing. There were curses but those were grave. The titles that had negative effects were deserved and to teach.
With the united mana, the rest of the statue fell apart revealing an old demon standing a head shorter than most. His robes were a sandy gold while his facial features were soft. The sands that reached around him lowered him on to a bed of sand while he slumbered.
"I think I went too far." Onyx collapsed on the floor with a soft flood. He had used mana that was well out of his control but he had managed to do so through power of will. He had seen that Walker needed him. His family needed him. He had to do so, so that he could be one of the city's guardians. He had to do so to help others. Onyx was not soone that could allow others to suffer, he had learned this from his family. They all cared.
' The title, Altruist has been granted to the Abyssal serpent Onyx. The title has been given because of the pure intention to help even at the cost of their own suffering. An altruist that helps in their every day life to teach and shine upon others.'
The world saw that Onyx was the only outlier of the group. The dragons were powerful. The partners of elental spirits had strength that allowed them to act here. But Onyx? He was not a being equal in age or in mana that should have been able to assist here. Yet he had. It was not the actions of a hero that threw their life at an enemy to save others. It was the act of soone who purely wanted to help those around them to achieve their goals and dreams.
"I will rest, it has been many years since I rested. Many years since I was required to purify anything." The water condensed around Luna. The grand elental spirit was suddenly encased in a frozen crystal that clinked on the ground.
"It went dormant?" Ventus had used a lot of her mana with Gil, they were the two wind elental beings here. But she was stunned that the water spirit they had rushed to find had one such of these things. Had used all the mana they possessed to help at this mont.
"It feels better." Current felt that the mana control over water had returned to him. His body was warm but his exhaustion took him.
One by one. Walker saw the others seemingly passing out. He only grasped that the golden sands that made up a bed for the demon that had once been Greed were moving. The sand was in the air. The sand floated here and there making the entire room hazy.
"Was this too much or did we ss up?" there was a fearful tone in Rey's voice. She had pushed them to move to action and she feared that she had made them all take the wrong decision. A decision that had brought them all in to danger. Potential the entire city.
"I will..make it…right…" Rey collapsed in to slumber while the others followed. None of them knew what was happening.
"Welco to my dream." The voice was soft and warm. It was also the last thing that Walker heard before his eyes closed as well. But it was not darkness that greeted him. It was far from it.
