Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Royal one

” Did you set up all of this? ” Jake eventually asked to break the awkward silence.

Tista too hoping to get out this moment vigorously nodded and said.

” I don’t know what you like so I cooked both sweet and spicy dishes as well as other dishes” Tista said and then opens the lids of dishes showcasing various colorful dishes.

Jake looked at them and saw almost all of them are made up of fruits and leaves.

‘ I guess this world Elves are Vegans to extreme’ Jake thought and then sat at the chair.

Tista then carefully set the plates and then gave Jake a taste of her cooking.

Jake picking up the fork tried the first dish and his eyes shone in delight by the marvelous blend of flavour that assaulted his mouth.

He forget about Tista and ate the salad like dish.

Tista who was hoping that Jake would compliment her stood there with her head down.

” Don’t worry, if he is eating so happily, that means he has forgotten about everything because your cooking is that great” A golden bird landed on her shoulder and spoke softly to her.

Tista raised her head and looks at the bird ” Really? ” She asked.

” Yes, and prepare next dish, he is going to finish that one soon” Myne spoke through bird and instructed Tista.

Who seeing now it’s only few spoons worth left hurriedly prepared another plate and then passes it to Jake.

Jake who was finished eating the first dish, without saying anything took the second plate and started eating it.

” It seems you are a great cook” Myne said.

Tista smiled happily hearing her and then asked Golden bird ” Can i know your name? ”

Golden bird looked at her and replied ” Yes, it’s not that big of a secret, My name is Myne, light spirit of Jake”

” Spirit!, you are really a spirit? ” Tista exclaimed and then grabbing the bird in her hands she asked.

Myne looking at her from golden bird tilted her head and nodded.

” Wow, I only heard legends about them” Tista said and she then started inspecting the bird up and down.

” Care to explain what are you doing? ” Myne spoke, escaping from her grasp and perching on her head.

Tista smiled embarrassingly and then said ” I have read in books that Spirits were noble beings that bestowed their powers upon Elves, and the blessed Elves later rose to become the champion and guardians of Elves”.

Tista then continues and said ” It is said in that book, who ever contract with Spirits will be hailed as Royalty among elves” She explained.

” Hmm, I see” Myne nodded and then from her another golden bird emerges and then it vanished while manifesting a portal.

” What was that? ” Tista asked as she passed another dish to Jake.

” I am checking whether there is still any alive spirit or not” Myne replied.

” So that bird….. ”

” It went to Spirit realm of this world” Myne said and then told her to attend to Jake who almost finished eating.

Tista nodded and then looks at Jake who is now happily rubbing her belly.

” How was it? ” Tista asked.

” So good, I almost forgot there was someone else too… “Jake said ans then paused and sitting up he looked at the dishes, seeing all of them empty he smiled apologetically to Tista.

” Sorry, I forgot about you” He said.

” It’s okay, I have eaten already” Tista lied, so that Jake won’t feel bad.

” Let’s go to your settlement” Jake nodded and then said and then both he and Tista started flying.

Jake while using speed flight while Tista using Aura wings.

[Are there any spirits? ] Nexus and Myne are now communicating in secret.

” I have yet to find one” Myne shook her head and then waving her hand she created many screens, each showing a Dreamy yet lonely scenery.

” It’s desolate like this world” Myne said with a sad look.

[ Some idiot probably tried to runaway to spirit realm, leading Eldritch there too] Nexus consoled her and said.

” Just cause of some idiot many kids had died” Myne said as her anger flared.

She then sighed and then kept looking at it.

But even after 8 hours nothing was found.

[I guess either they are hiding Or… ] Nexus didn’t completed his sentence yet Myne understood what she wants to say.

” I will stop after searching every where ” Myne shook her head and said.

[I hope we find one, this will help Jake a a lot] Nexus said.

As spirits of this world can creates spirit portals that could save Jake lots of traveling time.

“Yes, not to mention, we can revive others even if there is only one remaining” Myne said, causing Nexus to look at her solemnly.

[But that ritual will cause your rank to decrease] Nexus said.

” I know but Jake already have someone stronger to help him” Myne nodded and then said looking at the lonely figure meditating near the Cube.

It is Jake’s first spirit, the Cosmic Spirit of Void.

Perhaps hearing her, he opened his eyes and looked at them.

Both Nexus and Myne felt scared gazing at the endless darkness.

Astralium raised his hand hidden underneath the baggy robes and pointed at one of the screens, the bird which was the source of that screen started to get covered in purple black aura as many runes and glyphs also manifested on it.

And then the bird vanished and screen changed causing both Nexus and Myne to gasp as they saw six spirits living at an hidden corner of Spirit realm.

The bird went near them causing the little spirits to flinch and run away from it.

While Astralium spoke some incomprehensible words and then the bird broke into six parts each darting towards the six little spirits.

As the fragments made contact with them surrounding energy gushed to little spirits and then they turned into eggs each pulsating with different elements.

” They are now progenitors, they will give birth to next generation” Astralium said and went back to meditation.

[Aren’t progenitors many ranks above you! ] Nexus asked Myne.

“Yes, three ranks specifically” Myne nodded and then said.

” So what ranks is he? ” Myne asked pointing at Astralium.

[Titled something rank] Nexus replied as he was unable ro hear from cube as Astralium interrupted him saying, she is blabbermouth and will tell Jake about it.

[This bastard came many years later than me yet acting all chubby with Cube] Nexus mumbled.

Myne on the other hand dig her memories yet wasn’t able to remember anything about Title ranks among spirits

[Anyway, those progenitors will now create other spirits] Nexus said.

” Yes, I have already sealed all the cracks to Spirit realm, so there won’t be any difficulties ” Myne said and then both of them kept observing the Eggs.

” We are here” Tista said as she points at a big lake.

She then dived inside it and Jake followed her to an underwater cave,

” This whole lake is covered by our Special ability Eclipse, masking any life signatures ” Tista explained as she came out of water to cave.

Jake nodded and then Tista looked at particular wall and started singing.

Hearing her singing Jake felt mesmerized and closes his eyes while leaning at a wall and listen to her.

Tista seeing this from corner of her eyes kept singing, puzzling the elves who were going to open the stone wall from other side.

One of them ordered to stop and first see what is going on other side.

A young elf nodded and then removing a small stone, he looks through it and saw something and then placing the stone back he scratches his head.

” What did you see? ” An older elf asked.

” I saw something weird” Young elf or Rey replies.

” What’s weird thing you saw? ” Another older elf asked while clutching his two short swords.

” I saw, Tista singing while a human enjoying her song ” Rey replied not being sure him self.

Others looks at him speechlessly and then one of them said ” Stop reading those obnoxious books”

” I don’t read any such books” Rey yelled with red face.

A older elf then gestured another elf to see what’s really happening on the other side.

And then after some time it was the same answer.

” But how is a human alive after three whole decades of that Extinction Day” Older elf asked in disbelief.

” Only one way to found out” One of them said and then ordered to open the wall.

Tista seeing the wall opening gestured them to stay quiet.

The elder elf frowned as he looked at her but listened to her.

Tista after all is one of the elites scavenger, her intelligence and scavenging ability allow her the permit to roam outside world alone.

‘Is he someone important? ‘ elder elf thought and then after few minutes Tista stopped singing.

Jake who was enjoying her singing opened his eyes and complimented her for her beautiful voice.

Tista blushes and then she introduced other elves.

” Royal one, He is our Elder incharge of security, Lord Desmond ” She said and then introduced others too.

” Wait!, did you say Royal one? ” An older elf asked.

Others seeing him like this tilted their heads not knowing why is he agitated this much.

” You fools that’s why I said education is important ” Older elf bellowed in anger seeing their ‘not knowing what’s going on’ looks.

Security Elder was going to ask why is he so agitated when Tista spoke.

“Yes, grandpa Mio, he is blessed by a Noble spirit of Light” Tista spoke and everyone understood why older elf was so agitated.

Although they haven’t learned much about spirits but all of them knows Elven heroes were blessed by Spirits.

They now all looked at Jake as if he is some exotic animal.
