Chapter 19: Back to school

The clock that counted down the time until the next wave of catastrophe would appear.

Had stopped.

That to, right after Freed conveyed his concerns to Issei. At first, Issei thought it had nothing to do with the Cardinal Sins now freely roaming the earth. But right at that time, the system also gave him a quest to hunt and slay the Primordial demons.

Speaking of quests...

Issei soon called forth the quest he had to safe Asia. He still hadn't claimed the rewards yet.

Issei stared at all the notifications perplexed.' The f..?' He started by claiming his first rewards. The spell book and crystal.

He scanned through the book and saw that it contained various holy spells. Even though they were of the lesser kind, they were still useful. Summoning spells, restraining spells, exorcist spells, even locating spells.

It was a perfect fit for him, so he had his shield consume the book. Creating the new, {Holy Spell Shield} and granting him the knowledge of all the spells now at his disposal.

Then came the crystal. At first he didn't know what to do with it, till a notification appeared.

[Do you wish to absorb Holy crystal]

[Y/N]

Deciding he had nothing to lose, he pressed the Y icon and the crystal was absorbed into his body.

The next moment, Issei felt a sudden rush of warmth before his mind cleared up and notifications started appearing.

[Congratulations! The skill {Lesser Holy Affinity} has evolved into the skill {Intermediate Holy Affinity}]

[Congratulations! The skill {Intermediate Holy Affinity} has evolved into the skill {Greater Holy Affinity}]

[Notice Alert!:

- Allows you to house and act as a vessel for holy beings.

[Holy Physique]
- Makes your body highly easy to purify and thus, easier to cultivate.

[Holy Awareness]
- Makes you aware of anything and everything Holy in your presence.]

Once again, Issei stared at all the notification perplexed.' This has to be a result of my luck stat.'

He didn't know how right he was.

Moving onto the other reward, the light magic scroll. He simply had it placed in his inventory before dismissing everything.

He turned his gaze back to the sleeping blonde, only to see her gaze directed at him.
