Quest Rewards

"It would seem that my soul has successfully merged with your soul, now then it is time for me to bestow upon you the Dragon God's Marrow."

"Can you hold off on that one for a bit." Said Mesa interrupting the Primordial Azure Dragon.

"Why? Once you have the Dragon God's Marrow your bones will be as hard as steel and your marrow will become an impregnable fortress. Your body will become nigh invulnerable as time passes on, nothing will be able to give you physical harm." Said the Primordial Azure Dragon.

"I know, but there is a power that I received that grants me an instant healing factor. While the Dragon God's Marrow is amazing, it kinda makes the instant healing factor obsolete. So what I wanna do is, store your Dragon God's Marrow inside my inventory, where time stands still, and incorporate it inside me at a later time. And in the meantime I am gonna abuse the hell out of this instant healing factor." Said Mesa with a sly grin on his face.

"Uhhhh…. Ok. I guess that could work. Well at this point you've proven to be an existence that does not play by the normal rules, so why not." Said the Primordial Azure Dragon as he gave Mesa his last Dragon God's Marrow, which he immediately stored in his inventory.

"Well, it is time for me to leave. You carry the last of my bloodline and the last of my hope. But in your hands, I am pretty sure that it won't be a problem. Live on and may your future be filled with nothing but great fortune and happiness….." Said the Primordial Azure Dragon before it disappeared.

Standing there in the dark, Mesa and Jasmine looked at each other for a second before Jasmine immediately asked him: "So, what kind of quest rewards have you gotten this time?"

"This time, the quest reward was dependent on the time that it took me to finish this trial. The lowest quest rewards were these." Said Mesa as he took out Kansho & Bakuya and told her a bit about them and demonstrated that they are a pair of swords that always will attract each other and find each other. He demonstrated this by throwing one, while holding on to the other one and the one he threw came back flying like a boomerang.

"These things are pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Now then time for the second quest reward." Said Mesa as he materialized a drop of blood. Looking at this blood, Jasmine frowned and her face contort into a grimace.

"Is that the blood of a devil?" asked Jasmine

"Yes it is. But not just any old devil. This is the blood of Vergil, the true master of the Yamato and son of the Dark Knight Sparda. This devil blood is nothing like the devils of the Primal Chaos Dimension. The devils of the Primal Chaos Dimension gain strength by becoming more and more evil and the Darkness Profound Energy will even twist their personalities to make them more evil. But this drop of devil blood that I hold here is nothing like that. Let me tell you the tale of the Dark Knight Sparda and his heroic deeds to save the human world from the devil world and you'll see for yourself just how different these two devils are." Said Mesa as he told Jasmine the story about how the devil Sparda woke up to justice one day and saved the entire human world, by singe handedly defeating the entire army of the Devil King Mundus and sealing away the devil world, thus ensuring that the human world and the devil world stayed separate. He told her how Sparda, unlike the devils from the Primal Chaos Dimension, gained such great strength that he could beat an army of devils by himself and beat the Devil King Mundus, a being whose power was on a god level, by embracing love and having an immense desire to protect humanity. He told her that he was the one who made the Yamato. But it was his son Vergil who truly used the Yamato to its fullest potential. And in this universe, the Yamato could gain the strength to equal that of the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword by having the right bloodline. And with the blood of Vergil, Mesa could truly unleash the full power of the Yamato.

"Holy shit. And here I always thought devils were just scum that had to be eradicated. But to think that there was such a devil who got stronger by protecting humanity. So, what are you waiting for. Absorb that blood and show me the true power of the Yamato." Said Jasmine excitedly.

"Before I do that. I am going to need Ophis to strengthen the barrier that I'll set up and make sure that no power leaks out. We wouldn't want anyone from the God's Realm to pick up this power and come down here, now would we?" Said Mesa.

"Yeah, you're right. Even though Ophis could eradicate them in a second, having them come down here would be annoying and you did say that you wouldn't use Ophis' power until it was absolutely necessary." Said Jasmine with Mesa nodding along while he was setting up the barrier. After he finished setting up the barrier, he called out Ophis.

"Hey Ophis, sorry about calling you out like this, but I need your help. You see, I have set up this barrier and I need you to strengthen it to make sure that no power leaks out from it. I am going to assimilate this devil's blood and I need to make sure that its power doesn't leak out or else those of the God's Realm will come here. Can you do this for me?" Asked Mesa.

"Sure, no problem." Said Ophis as she shot out a snake at Mesa's barrier, strengthening it immensely.

"And before I begin, sorry about interrupting your game. I hope you didn't lose because of me." Said Mesa to which Ophis shook her head.

"No, it was over already. I won. 43 kills and 0 deaths." Said Ophis a little proudly. Hearing this, Mesa and Jasmine open their eyes wide in shock.

"Seriously?! 43 kills and 0 deaths!" said Mesa and Jasmine simultaneously with nodding to it.

"Wow! And here I thought I could catch up to you one day. Guess that's not gonna happen anymore." Said Jasmine.

And so, safely inside the barrier, Mesa took out Vergil's blood and absorbed it. The moment he absorbed it, he felt pain coursing through his body like he had never felt before. It felt like his body was being broken apart and healing itself at the same time, while at the same time a blue light started to appear around Mesa as more and more energy start leaking out of him until it exploded out of him in an explosion of blue light.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

And there he was, Mesa inside the barrier. But this time, after completely absorbing Vergil's blood, he was in Vergil's Sin Devil Trigger form. There he stood, at least a head taller than normal, with dark silver reptilian scales covering his body that exuded a blue hue, two pairs of dragon like wings on his back, a barbed tail extending from his back, clawed feet and hands, horns extending from his head that continuously shot out blue flames like a welding flame and flames shooting out of arm mounted blades on his arms that curve backwards. Looking over to Jasmine and Ophis, Jasmine couldn't help but take a step back after Mesa had transformed into Vergil's Sin Devil Trigger form.

Attempting to activate his Sharingans, Mesa found out that they wouldn't activate. It wasn't just the Sharingans, he couldn't use his Devil Fruit powers, nor his Wood-Style or any other power. The only thing he could use was the Yamato. Returning back to his normal form, all his other powers were again available for him.

["Congratulations sir on absorbing the bloodline of Vergil. A quick heads-up, you are now able to use Darkness Profound Energy and unlike the native devils, you are immune to its personality corrupting effects. Now that you have Vergil's bloodline, you can use the full power of the Yamato. This includes its ability to cut space and make portals and its most powerful move: Judgement Cut End.

Now that you have Vergil's bloodline, you can also use the Devil Trigger and the Sin Devil Trigger mode. The Devil Trigger mode can only be used for 10 minutes at a time and has a cool down period of 1 hour. Using the Devil Trigger gives a massive boost to speed strength and continuously heals you and restores your vitality as long as it is active. The Sin Devil Trigger mode can only be used for 10 minutes and has a cool down period of 6 hours but by sacrificing all your other Devil Trigger mode opportunities for that day, you can keep the Sin Devil Trigger active for an entire hour. After that, you will not be able to use either the Devil Trigger or the Sin Devil Trigger for a whole 24 hours. The Sin Devil Trigger mode gives an even greater boost to speed and strength, but will not restore your vitality or heal you. Instead it makes you invulnerable to all attacks as long as it is active.

During the usage of either the Devil Trigger mode or the Sin Devil Trigger mode, only the Yamato will be available for you to use. All other powers and weapons will be sealed away during the time that the Devil Trigger and the Sin Devil Trigger mode are active."]

Listening to JARVIS explanation of the benefits of Vergil's bloodline, Mesa couldn't help but smile and think to himself: 'With this bloodline, I'll be a much more superior devil than even the native devils and with the Yamato, I am basically unbeatable. Time to unpack the next quest reward.'

And thus he took out the third reward, the holy sword Excalibur. As soon as he took it out, it started to shine with a golden light that bathed the dark cave in its brilliant radiance. Looking at the light, Mesa couldn't help but tear up. The holy light of Excalibur reminding him of his mother, the only person he ever loved with all his heart and soul.

A few feet away, Jasmine was also astonished that, after he transformed into a Devil, he pulled out a holy sword of truly great power that shined with a brilliance like no other. Looking directly into its holy light, she started to tear up as well and muttered: "Brother."

Meanwhile, in a place far, far away

Two people could be seen in a land covered in mist and lush forests sitting in meditation near a lake. One person was behind the other as if to indicate that she was subservient to the other person. This other person, who was covered in light and couldn't be seen, suddenly trembled and the light faded, revealing a female. If one looked at her closely, they would see that this person looked like Navi from the series Dragonar Academy. The person who was behind her looked like an elf. To be specific, she looked exactly like Feel Nilvalen from the series No Game No Life.

"Master, what is going on? Why are you suddenly trembling?" Asked the elf-like girl.

"He Ling.... it has been found." Said the Dragon woman in a whisper like tone.

"What do you mean? What has been found?" Asked He Ling.

"It, the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword has been found. After many, many eons, someone has finally found it." Said the Dragon woman causing He Ling to gasp in shock and tremble herself.

"If someone found it, then we must quickly tell everyone!" Said He Ling in a hurry as she wanted to get up before she was stopped by her master.

"Stop! He Ling, we do not know if this person is a benevolent one or a malicious one. Many, many wars have been fought for the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. If anyone were to know that it has been found, another war will start again just so that it can be used selfishly. Let us keep this secret to ourselves and observe. If this person is malicious, then I shall send you out to tell the Dragon Monarch about it. But if this person is benevolent, then we shall keep it to ourselves to avoid another pointless war that will only cost countless lives to be lost for nothing." Said the Dragon woman.

"Yes, master Shen Xi." Said He Ling as she bowed down.

'Now let us see who you are. Maybe, just maybe...' Thought Shen Xi to herself as she was lost in nostalgia.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few moments, both Jasmine and Mesa regained their composure. Immediately after, Jasmine started bombarding him with questions.

"What is that sword?! Why does it feel like the holy version of the Yamato?! And what was that light just now?!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down there little red! Well, let me start from the beginning. This sword is…." Said Mesa before he was suddenly interrupted.

"Excalibur." Said Ophis.

"Excalibur? But why does it feel like it as strong as the Yamato, but… a holy version of it?" Asked Jasmine.

"Just like Ophis said. This sword is Excalibur. It is just like I said to the Primordial Azure Dragon a few minutes ago. I can probably get another Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword from another universe. Well, this is it. The strongest holy sword, Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory. Its equivalent in this universe is the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword." Said Mesa with a big grin on his face.

"I just can't believe you really summoned the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword from another universe. You know what, scratch that. I can wholeheartedly believe that you can do it. After giving me the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the Age Seal, summoning Ophis and Ddraig and lastly elevating the Yamato power to be as strong as the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. There is simply no way that you wouldn't be able to summon the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, or in this case Excalibur, from another universe. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a sword that was even stronger." Said Jasmine in a jokingly manner.

"About that…." Said Mesa.

"Holy shit. You already have it, don't you?" Said Jasmine.

"Y-y-yyyyeeaaahhhh. I do. It is my fourth quest reward. And it is my second to last one."
