Azief right now even though he was killing is slowly approaching the concept of emptiness. First, there was love.
Then there is hatred. Then there is his desire. And slowly it diminished only into a kind of focus.
Love for his disciple causes the hatred to those who come that wanted to kill and scheme against his disciple
Then as he attacks them with his sword intent there was the desire to kill. And then now there is this focus towards the sword that drowned all the other intentions.
In his mind right now, he is only thinking how to move this sword intent. How to make his sword attack faster? How to make it even sharper?
Affection were erased, hatred was forgotten and even the stench of blood dissipated. There is only an indifference, a lofty and disdainful indifference toward all creation
Like The Heavens that watch upon all life like straws and dog.
