Chapter 49: The Power of the Chronicles and the Ancestral Discovery

The victory at the Forge of Heroes had galvanized Jun, Calla, Miranda, Sora, Miiko, and Liora. However, they knew that each success brought them closer to an even more perilous confrontation with the Güldenstern Order. The new magical weapons in their possession were a valuable asset, but they needed more to overthrow their enemies.

Back at the Resistance base, Jun spent long hours studying the inscriptions found in the temple. One evening, while everyone else slept, he made a surprising discovery. One of the pages of the Chronicles of the Immortal seemed to react to the mysterious symbols.

« There is something here, » he murmured to himself, deciphering the inscriptions.

The symbols evoked an ancient magic, a technique forgotten for millennia. This technique allowed its master to absorb the history of defeated monsters and summon them as allies. However, this power required a deep understanding of the magic of the Chronicles of the Immortal and a great mastery of mystical forces.

The next day, Jun gathered his friends to announce the news. « The Chronicles of the Immortal have revealed a new ability. I can now integrate the history of the monsters we defeat into the Chronicles of the Immortal. This would allow me to summon them as temporary allies. »

Miranda, fascinated, asked, « That's incredible, Jun. How did you discover this ? »

« The temple inscriptions activated a hidden section of the Chronicles. It speaks of an ancient magic that only this grimoire can use, » Jun explained.

Miiko, always curious, added, « We need to test this ability on our next mission. It could give us a decisive advantage. »

The moment to test this power came soon enough. Their next mission led them to a fortress guarded by formidable creatures summoned by the Güldenstern Order. During the battle, Jun focused on one of the defeated creatures and recited the incantation revealed by the Chronicles of the Immortal.

An intense light surrounded the monster, and its essence was absorbed by the grimoire. Moments later, Jun raised his hand, and a shadow of the creature appeared at his side, ready to fight.

« It worked ! » exclaimed Jun, impressed by the spell's effectiveness.

The shadow fought alongside Jun and his friends, adding a new dimension to their combat abilities. Calla moved through the shadows, striking with deadly precision, while Sora, in his wolf form, unleashed his rage on the enemies. Miranda and Miiko, with their enchanted weapons, sowed confusion and destruction among the enemy ranks.

After the battle, the group was enthusiastic. « This power could really change the course of our struggle against the Order, » said Miranda, marveling at Jun's new ability.

Back at the Resistance base, they continued to explore the possibilities offered by this power. Each victory now allowed them to grow in strength and knowledge, making their group even more formidable.

In parallel with this discovery, Miranda continued her quest for the Poneglyphs. The inscriptions found in the temple were the first of a series of riddles to solve. She spent hours studying the symbols and searching for clues in ancient grimoires and Resistance archives.

« These Poneglyphs could contain secrets that will help us understand the origin of the Order's powers and find weaknesses in their defenses, » Miranda explained to her friends.

« We must remain vigilant and keep searching, » Jun replied. « Each discovery brings us closer to our goal. »

The group decided to note the inscriptions and look for other Poneglyphs during their travels. While their main objective remained to defeat the Güldenstern Order, this new quest could reveal valuable secrets and aid them in their struggle.

As night fell, they prepared to continue their fight against the Güldenstern Order. Their determination was unwavering, and they knew that each victory brought them a little closer to the peace and justice they sought. Together, they were ready to face all the challenges to come, armed with their new skills and an unshakable will.
