Chapter 5 - Reflection In the Mirror

Verchiel took a deep breath. He already knew this journey wouldn't be easy. He would be leaving the academy. Leaving behind his routine, his fake identity, even the new friends who had begun to trust him—all to find Lux Anima, his true weapon. He didn't even know its true form yet.

But he did know one thing.

A god's Signature Weapon wasn't just a tool of war. It was a reflection of one's soul, destiny, and choices.

And he wasn't whole yet.

The sky darkened. The reflection on the surface vanished completely, like a broken mirror.

In the distance, the sound of a twig snapping could be heard.

Verchiel turned. From the bushes, a silver-haired girl emerged—Lilith, a student of the Astral Division, known for being reclusive and rarely speaking

"You... who are you, really?" she whispered, a mixture of horror and awe.

Verchiel didn't answer. He simply stared at her with eyes that didn't shine, didn't sparkle, but were deep and heavy like the depths of the night.

"Don't tell anyone about this," he said quietly.

"Because when I return, this world will never be the same again."

Without waiting for a reply, he stepped forward. The wind whipped his robes, and in an instant, his body disappeared behind a thin swirl of light. All that remained was the calm lake... and Lilith, still standing there, aware that tonight she had witnessed something beyond the bounds of the human world.

Here I will Explain the Verchiel Fragment

Origins of the Fragments

The Fragments are not simply physical fragments of Verchiel's weapon—they are manifestations of the parts of his soul that were scattered after a major event thousands of years ago, when Verchiel, the God of Light, was defeated by an alliance of Dark Monarchs.

At that time, Verchiel was not physically destroyed, but rather, split his own soul into seven parts to avoid total annihilation. These seven parts merged with the world in the form of "Lux Fragments"—tiny, glowing shards, each representing a crucial aspect of his existence.

Each fragment is automatically sealed in a location that resonates with its energy, creating a Convergence Site, a place that holds trials for anyone who wishes to retrieve it.

A Signature Weapon cannot be fully formed or appear without all the fragments, as it is not an inanimate object—Lux Anima is a sentient weapon, and its soul is Verchiel's own.
