Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

Chapter 79: Ancestral Ability



Tyr's vision returned to normal. He was staring into the Mycopolis forest that sped toward him as Rudra kept moving forward.

The rushing wind that brushed against his face gave a cool feeling to his tears, reminding him that he was crying.

He closed his eyes, gritting his teeth, 'Mother... father... How could I have forgotten them?' More tears attempted to come, but he squeezed his fists as right as possible.

Then, he opened his eyes again with a fierce look on his face. He wiped his tears, breathing in through his nose.

'I need to know what happened to them... I still don't know anything apart from who they were. These memories... my past home... it was all on another planet right?'

It was frustrating to only get small pieces of information at a time, 'I need to level up more and get stronger. More knowledge about the past... that way, I can maybe even reach my parents again.'

Despite knowing this, he also knew worrying was futile. More questions had appeared in his head compared to ever before, but he shook them all off.

'My goal is to become strong. That's all I need to focus on. Whether it be for seeking more memories, being unchained from the shackles of weakness, or even finding my parents... it can all be solved by simply getting more powerful.'

It seemed the aspect of power gained more and more importance in Tyr's mind as time passed while on this new planet of Sub-world.

Hanzo had been staring at Tyr the entire time. After Tyr seemed to collect himself, however, he closed his eyes and went back to napping.

'Hmm. He's enigmatic... I can't tell what's going on in that brain of his. But whatever it is... I hope he rises from it even stronger.'

That night, they stopped in the middle of the jungle.

With their campsite set up, the three decided to play a little game.

"This game is called... hit the rock!" Malon exclaimed loudly.

They all stood a few dozen feet away from the campsite. In front of each of them were three large boulders.

"This is a perfect time to test out all of our Ancestral Abilities... including yours, Tyr. I know you haven't had time to do that yet." Malon smiled.

Tyr nodded, "Let's get this party started!"

Hanzo was the first to go.

"Alright..." He said as he prepared himself. "I have two Ancestral Abilities... and both of them are from the Gods."

Both Malon and Tyr was taken aback as they heard this.

"W-wait what?" Malon said in confusion.

Tyr was even more puzzled, "Didn't you say only one of them was..." He cut himself off, not knowing what Hanzo was talking about.

"Well, back then I didn't want to fight any longer. It bored me... and I only did it because I had to as a Hunter. That's why I didn't acknowledge my offensive Ancestral Ability." Hanzo said, pulling his bowstring back.

Tyr was taken aback, "That's right... you called it simple elite bowmanship or something back then."

"Yep." Hanzo replied, "But now, a new goal has given me quite a bit more inspiration. If I will travel the world with a person with as big of aspirations as you... I have to be willing to get as strong as possible."

Both Malon and Tyr stayed silent as Aura began to swirl around Hanzo's bow, condensing into an arrow.

"Mother Gaia's Touch... and the Boon Of Apollo!" Hanzo exclaimed, shooting his arrow at that moment.

The red arrow spun through the air with disastrous force, penetrating straight through the boulder as if it were butter.

A few cracks turned into a web of splits before the entire boulder burst into a thousand pieces.

Hanzo lowered his bow, both Malon and Tyr gawking at the man with jaws on the floor.

"Hahaha!" Malon wholeheartedly laughed, "What a disgustingly powerful ability!" He said, turning to stare at the boulder.

"I don't have the boon of a God, unfortunately. The name of my Ancestral Ability is... Aegis Of The Shield Bearer."

He raised his wrist in front of him. A giant shield summoned from it, slamming into the ground.

Malon formed his footing, "Hrah!" He exclaimed, storming forward.

He infused Aura into his shield as it clashed with the boulder. A loud booming noise sounded as the boulder exploded into hundreds of pieces upon impact.

Malon stepped back, his serious expression being replaced with an excited smile.

"Haha! I did it!" He sounded proud, "I've been working on that move for a while. It's called Aegis Battalion."

"Good work, Malon!" Tyr said, Hanzo also nodding in approval with a smile on his face.

"Now it's only me left..." Tyr said, facing the boulder in front of him.

"Don't panic. Ancestral Abilities usually take getting used to." Hanzo advised.

"For some reason, I feel like I already have the hang of it though," Tyr replied, a slight smirk forming on his face.

"Already? Without using it even once?" Hanzo questioned, a bit thrown off.

Tyr closed his eyes for a second, as a golden flame suddenly burst from his glabella.

It was a sharp flame, holding the shape of a falling water droplet. It was small as well, no larger than 2.5 inches.

As he opened his eyes, his pupils shined in the darkness of night in a brilliant golden color that was mesmerizing to gaze at.

"My Ancestral Ability..." Tyr's tone was deeper than usual.

Hanzo furrowed his eyebrows, 'His presence... its completely different. It's like he's an entirely different person. Maybe he somehow does have the hang of it already.'

"Boon Of The Sun Devourer." Tyr declared.

Malon squinted: "Sun Devourer? That's odd... a title rather than a name? Wouldn't that mean the Ancestral Ability is of a powerful Ancestor rather than a God?"

Hanzo also seemed a bit confused, "Hmm... I have no clue. These Ancestral Abilities are confusing to decode."

Tyr remained silent, his eyes slightly widened with surprise at the several GG panels that had abruptly appeared in front of his eyes.
