Vision about Jude - Stigma - Mei'er's Invitation

Upon putting his fingers on Jude's forehead, his Eye Vision, Clairvoyance, Extreme Self-awareness, Supreme Sense of Measurement, Future Vision, Body Language Translator, and Bipolar Body has activated

Philip's consciousness was sucked in to another place. Upon opening his eyes, he didn't know where he is and he could only see a grassy valley as far as the eye could see

On the valley, there are thousands of swords that are stabbed on the ground that went across the valley into the horizon. This looked like a Sword Graveyard

He then heard a roar and crackling sound behind him and saw a young Jude with the same looking sword of large curved longsword on his hands. Jude had long black hair that is tied in the middle and long side hair that fluttered from the wind

Jude was kneeling on the ground while breathing heavily. There are cuts and lacerations across his arms and clothes

The roar and crackling sound came from the clouds as a bolt of bright lightning atruck down on another person in front of Jude. The person disintegrated into ash and Philip did not get the chance to see his identity

"Master!!!"

Jude screamed as he tried to reach for the man but it was too late

"Zeus!!!"

Jude screamed at the sky while tears flowed from his eyes

Just then, a person descended from the sky and landed in front of Jude. Jude was stunned upon looking at the man that exuded divinity. The man held a golden sword on his hand

"S-sword God?"

Jude muttered while his mouth shook. The Sword God shook his head and manifested a blue sword from his other hand. The blue sword was small in size, like a dagger

The Sword God extended his hand towards Jude and the blue sword slowly floated towards Jude's heart. Jude couldn't move and his eyes trembled from the blue sword

Seconds later, the tip of the blue sword penetrated Jude's chest and then pierced his heart

Jude vomitted blood without moving and the blue sword shrunk inside Jude's heart

Jude lost vision in his eyes and fell fowards

The Sword God floated towards the sky without leaving any words. As he floated to the sky, the thousands of swords that are embedded on the land was gouged out and floated towards the sky

The Sword God confiscated and took the swords with him but he left Jude's large curved longsword

The sky crackled with thunder once more and rain fell on the valley

Philip watched the entire scene and let it play out. He walked towards Jude's lying body and Jude somehow turned his head to look at Philip with a blurred and hazy left eye

Philip gazed at Jude's back, where his heart is supposed to be, and he saw that it was glowing with blue light

Just then, Philip's consciousness was pulled once more. He saw the kaleidoscopic vision across space and time as if he is going hyperdrive in space

As he went through hyperdrive, he saw the same Sword God to his right and the Sword God also saw him. The Sword God turned his head and followed Philip with a surprised face

The Sword God then moved and followed Philip through the hyperdrive and prepared his sword to eliminate Philip. He knew that Philip saw something that he shouldn't have

Dread filled Philip, he was confident in his own strength and abilities but his confidence plummeted when facing against a God

He manipulated his emotions and returned his confidence back. They were in a plane that only the two of them are in. No one will be able to save him and he only could save himself

He racked his brains and thought of how to deal with the incoming Sword God

Emotion Manipulation? Fate Control? Sword Potential?

There was only one answer

The Sword God went closer and the golden sword on his right hand started to shine and dazzle. He was ready to unleash an attack from afar

Philip lifted his left hand and extended his two fingers

He quickly turned his body without thinking and assumed his fingers as a sword. His fingers assimilated into a sword and slashed diagonally towards the Sword God

The Sword God cancelled the attack on his sword and dodged the slash. The hyperdrive space was cut into two and Philip returned to the real world with his left fingers touching Jude's forehead

The hyperdrive space disappeared along with the Sword God who watched Philip escape as the plane shattered into pieces

Philip opened his eyes and blue light shone from it

"I know what to do"

Philip said as he lifted his right hand. Jude heard Philip and his heart skipped a beat from his words. He smiled from the assurance that Philip gave and held onto that sliver of hope

Philip then slammed his right hand on Jude's chest and white light shone on Philip's hand. White lines appeared on his fingers that crawled onto his wrist and glowed

Philip then pulled his hand as if he was pulling the air. Light filled the room as the light between Jude's chest and Philip's right hand glowed brightly

It was then that Jude abruptly opened his eyes and opened his mouth to scream from the pain

The scream wasn't that loud as he tried to resist the pain and so that no one in the mansion would be bothered by his scream of pain and become worried. He was afraid that they might interrupt Philip and stop the removal of his condition

Just then, Jude's chest split open and blood flowed from the wound

The blue sword that was stabbed across Jude's heart slowly pulled itself from the heart

The blue sword slowly came out of the opening on his chest. The scar on Jude's heart illuminated with yellow light and was healed immediately

After the blue sword was succesfully pulled out, a burst of Sword Energy swept through the mansion once again. The wound on Jude's chest healed immediately and he lost consciousness as his body slouched over

The blue sword that was floating on Philip's right hand spun and rotated rapidly. The light slowly intensified and released another burst of Sword Energy

Philip didn't know what he should do and eh couldn't just throw it away. It was then the white lines on Philip's right hand pulsated with light, the blue sword resonated with the white lines and glowed

The blue sword then zoomed towards Philip's chest and penetrated through his empty heart

Of course, Philip fell on his knees and he coughed out blood

"God damn it!!"

Philip subconsciously placed his right hand on his chest to clutch it and deny the pain. Philip slowly manipulated his emotions as what happened in the Mystical Test might happen here again

He pulled his hand and the blue sword willingly came out of his chest and floated on his hand. It was because the blue sword was confused when it didn't embed itself into a heart. It was empty, like a void

Philip looked at the blue sword with a grudge and he wanted to kill it, if only it was not an object. It tried to kill him, therefore he can kill it

It was then that the blue sword stopped spinning and rotating as it became stiff in the air

The white lines on Philip's hand illuminated and shattered like glass. The blue sword also shattered as the remnants dissipated into the air

Philip was confused and looked around his hand. He saw light coming out of his palm and immediately looked at it. He saw a sword that was being drawn on his palm like a fuse being ignited

A Stigma of the Sword has been left on Philip's palm. Of course, Philip currently didn't know what this means

Philip sat down on the floor as he tried to catch his breath. Sweat formed on his forehead. He then lifted his sweater and undershirt to look at the wound on his chest

He saw the white lines wriggling around the wound before it illuminated and shattered like glass. The wound on his chest was healed

"Seriously, what are these white lines?"

Philip couldn't help but ask himself since he became more and more confused the more it happens

"It couldn't be regeneration or self-healing, is it?"

Philip didn't believe that to be the case since the white lines showed different behavior such as removing the numbness on his arm and just earlier, against the blue sword

He looked at Jude and saw him knocked out. He stood up and carried Jude towards his bed and put him down. He then covered him with a blanket

Before leaving the room, he looked at the large curved longsword and touched the surface of the blade. He wanted to feel the gaps and chips on touch

It was then the sword vibrated and emitted a warping sound. Blue light travelled across the gaps and chips on the blade like it was being filled with gas. The blue light then hardened and the sword was filled with blue lines and dots across the blade like it was some sort of a futuristic sword

Philip was confused. He didn't know why this happened and became nervous. He looked at Jude as he was afraid that he ruined his work

He considered trying to do the limit treatment technique but he remembered that he will never learn it as it was a Personal Technique of Jude

It was then that Philip entered the plane of Future Vision. One of the white circles that are laid down on the ground glowed up with a golden light. Now there are two golden circles out of the eleven white circles

There could only be one explanation of these circles since it happened twice when something eventful happened after the two people's lives drastically changed

It happened after Philip assured Alucard to grant his wish when one white circle turned gold. This time, it was when Philip removed Jude's Reverse Sword condition and succesfully cured him then the second white circle turned gold

This could only mean one thing, there are eleven circles and he has already helped two, ehich means that the circle are the residents of the mansion, including Justine. He needed to help everyone to turn all the circles gold and progress in his future

Philip was slightly annoyed and confused and he tried to set aside this fact for a while. He closed his eyes and came back to reality

He then slowly walked out of the room and quietly closed the door. He slowly turned around while still looking at the door only to bump into a small person in front of him

"Mu!"

There was a cute grunt from a little girl that was accidentally bumped by Philip. She tripped and almost fell backwards but Philip caught her by reaching towards her shoulder

"Whoa, careful!"

The girl was surprised by being bumped then stopped immediately. She opened her with a worried look and looked at Philip

"Mei... Er?"

Philip then released his hand that was holding Mei'er's shoulder

Mei'er nodded from Philip's uncertainty. Philip remembered that Mei'er can't speak so he would ask less questions

"What brings you here?"

Yet, he still asked a question. Mei'er moved a little bit and looked at Philip with confused eyes

"Ah, you have something to show to Jude?"

Mei'er looked at Philip with a more confused and wary eyes. Philip then knelt down to look at Mei'er at eye level

"Don't worry, between you and me..." Philip held a finger in front of his nose, signifying to Mei'er to be silent. "I actually have a third ability. It's Body Language Translator and it lets me understand anyone based on their body language without them talking or speaking"

Philip gave a wink to Mei'er and her eyes turned into stars metaphorically while her arms are tucked together in excitement. He then patted Mei'er's head since he saw her as an adorable child

Mei'er was scared at first when Philip touched her but she immediately calmed down when she felt the warmth coming from Philip's hand

She appreciated Philip's gesture and then she grabbed his right hand and pulled him with her strength

Philip slowly stood up and walked with small steps while being pulled by Mei'er's miniscule strength. He smiled at her cuteness and innocence. In truth, he wanted to sleep since it's almost late in the night but he'll entertain Mei'er

"Where are you taking me?"

Mei'er pointed towards the back of the mansion, at the garden greenhouse near the backyard

"I see, you want me to see room?"

Mei'er turned her head around and nodded while smiling as they kept walking. It was then that Mei'er released her pull from Philip hand because she trusted that Philip will follow her

Philip lightly sighed and just followed Mei'er

~~~

Mei'er and Philip came out of the mansion through the backyard. Philip was met by the cool breeze that he has been circulating around the mansion ever since. The moonlight shines the backyard that emphasizes the calming night

Mei'er ran through the grassy backyard while her arms are lifted to her sides like wings. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind

Philip increased the speed of his walk to catch up to Mei'er. Mei'er then entered a section of the backyard that has a tall hedges that blocks half of the bottom of the clear greenhouse

This section was the garden of the mansion. There was a large greenhouse with a sunroom inside. That is where Mei'er's room is

Philip entered the section past the tall hedges. His heavy breath came out as he saw the view and scenery around and inside the greenhouse that he almost fainted

His eyes shone and it almost teared up. Luckily, Philip immediately coped up and resisted to tear up and get overwhelmed by the positive energy that this place was emitting
