"Hmm, I'm getting there."Rei muttered as he saw his current ranks.
"Show unsealed Meliodas combat rank." Rei said as the system showed the rank.
[Peak Sovereign.]
"Hmmm, system where did the Archangel bloodline come from?" Rei asked seeing this new addition.
[It came with the small evolution of Tengoku.]
"I see..." Rei muttered as he sat down in the lotus position.
Closing his eyes, Rei started to train himself in mana control. Turning his mana into thin strands, Rei made each strand light up with a different element making sure that the element only made a thin layer on the strands and not more. Sweat started to appear on Rei's forehead as he concentrated in this exercise. The area around him lit up in an array of colours as it slowly spread outwards allowing Rei to feel everything that goes on here. Jenna was about to call out Rei but stopped once she saw he sitting with mana dancing around him.
She only watched for a little while before walking away. She didn't want to disturb the scene of a handsome Rei being in tuned with nature.
Rei continued to sit still in his lotus position as he controlled the mana in the air. Soon he felt a new energy within his senses. The new energy was small than his mana but was more powerful, each strand was equivalent to more than 10 of his strands. Rei tried to use this new type of energy but was struggling to harness it.
Outside, Meliodas and the guys had already arrived, they were looking around and ready to go train when Jenna spoke up.
"Hey Meliodas, your adopted son showed up quite a while ago."
"What?!" Meliodas said not expecting Rei to be here.
"Where is he?" Meliodas asked quickly wanting to see Rei.
Jenna showed them to the location and were shocked at what was happening. Green energy could be seen surrounding him in abundance, they would feel a large surge of nature energy in the area as Rei sat unmoving with his eyes closed.
Meliodas was shocked at how he couldn't feel Rei's presence at all and how Rei seems to be a fully matured man in his 20s with no facial hair.
"Why does he look like this?" Meliodas asked with a slight frown as last time he saw Rei he was only 16.
"Apparently he spent a few centuries in purgatory entertaining the demon king before trapping him in a scheme and landed here." Jenna said causing Meliodas to frown when he heard about to demon king while the others gasped slightly at the fact that Rei spent a few centuries in purgatory.
"Why can't I feel his presence." Meliodas asked.
"It's supposed to be a secret but since you're looking at it I'll tell you. What Rei is doing now is simular to the highest practice of druid magic which is where the user would harness the power of nature to perfection. There is a delicate balance that needs to be held or else the user would receive a severe backlash from the energy." Jenna explained.
"So I would suggest we leave Rei for now or else it would be dangerous." Jenna said as she led them away.
While Jenna was leading the group away, Rei was comprehending the concept of nature.
Hours went by with Rei not moving at all. Soon markings could be seen slowly appearing on Rei's body and face. The markings were a mixture of gold and green spreading across Rei's body while a crown like marking appeared on his head. Rei slowly opened his eyes which had a golden ring around his red iris.
"Fuuuuu...." Rei breathed out as he felt the power of his new form.
[Congrats host for comprehending Concept of Nature and gaining the passive sage mode. Detecting synergy between Concept of Nature, Element and sage mode. New passive gained, Divine sage mode.]
The systems message displayed itself.
"Divine sage mode huh...." Rei said quietly as he felt serene on the inside, he felt peaceful yet at the same time he wouldn't mind using this power to stand against his enemies.
Rei spread his senses and found out his senses were improved even more.
'Wait, if divine sage mode makes me peaceful and reduces negative emotions then if I pair it with assault mode then....' Rei thought as he started to manifest his dark energy. Starting with his chest, the dark energy spread out until it covered his arms. The energy then started to shift before it settled down as some dark energy covered his chest, shoulders, back and formed 10 tail like objects behind him. Rei could tell that these tail like objects were many times shaper than even some of the best noble phantasms he had especially since it is reinforced with natural mana.
Soon Rei turned around to see everyone standing with panic from the sudden increase of demon aura and saw Rei in his new form. Retracting it, Rei smiled.
"Hey guys, long time no see."
