A Few Days Later...
A boy and man clothed in blue could be seeing sparing with wooden swords. Dashing back and forth the two figures could be seen swiftly move around the courtyard. Shortly after both figures came to a stop in the middle of the courtyard.
"Young lord you have grasped the basics of the sword really well but your usage of it is very superficial. This is enough sparring for the day. I'll leave you with this training regiment. I want you to perform 1,000 slashes, 1,000 chops, 1,000 thrust, 1,000 backhanded slashes, you must complete these before going to bed. When I come back in the morning we will begin to learn about parrying and blocks. Said Festus, before turning around exiting the courtyard.
" I won't let you down Uncle Festus." said Godfrey before continuing his training. A little girl with purple hair could be seen watching him in the shaded corner of the courtyard, concern all over her face.
Just like that almost 5 year passed, just a couple months before Godfreys birthday. Two figures could be seen finishing up a sparring session in his courtyard. "Young lord, you have grown tremendously over the past few years. Without using my cultivation I can no longer beat you in sword fighting."
"You flatter me Uncle Festus, this is all thanks to your training regiment, without it I would not be the young man that you see today." Said Godrey while grinning.
"Thank you for your praise, young lord. I think you are ready to receive cultivation training from the master. Said Festus.
"You go and see my father first, tell him I have some things I need to take care of before seeing him. I will most likely come see him on my birthday." said Godfrey before turning around slowly making his way to his room. "This subbornate will leave first." Replied festus before disappearing into the shadows. After Godfrey made his way into his room three books or rather manuals could be seen on his bed. Multiple weird drawings could be seen all over sheets of paper scattered around the room. " I should be able to draw it today, I have a good feeling this time." Godfrey had been studying these manuals for the past few years, Flowing Shadow and Reaper's Dance couldn't be used until he had some kind of cultivation but it had to be cultivation that didn't have any direction or 'Atributless'. The Fiend Legion on the other hand could be used as long as one had some 'Ki' and basic understanding of the drawings or 'diagrams'. Normally a kid like him wouldn't have any Ki as that would require someone to cultivate to the blood- strengthening stage. Before after the incident at the lake he noticed a strange energy flowing through his unlocked blood manderians.
After asking his father about it, he finally found out it was Ki, His father told him Ki is an energy used to enhance the power of magic arts. It is also an energy that otherworldly beings feed on to get stronger as Ki flows in those worlds like water. After many sleepless nights of racking his brian he finally pieced together the mystery behind those diagrams and figured it was a summoning circle of sorts. He remembered seeing something similar in his past life on a magical square box.
Today was the day he finally draws the right diagram and summoned a Fiend from another world. The book said that the summoning process requires blood essence to be dripped on the diagram to be activated while pouring all your ki into the circle. It will then summon a fiend that matches the amount of ki and you use the methods in the manual to sign a master servant contract with. Due to it requiring the Ki from the summoner you could never summon anything more powerful than you. Unless you use multiple forms of Ki, but that would be a different type of summoning.
Godfrey quickly began to draw a circle on the floor using a brush and some black paint. After moving his hands a round a few times the circle is down, you tell he had practiced many times before. He bit his finger with one of his fangs and slowly golden blood dropped onto the summoning circle. While the blood was dripping down he started moving his Ki to outside of his body, it looked Smoke was oozing out of his pores. The Smoke rushed into the circle and it began to lit up, the black lines started to turn red. A few secs later his Ki was fully consumed and then a bright flash of light erupted from the circle. He stopped the bleeding of his finger and stared at the circle. Slowly the light receded and a small green child could be seen inside of the circle, compared to the descriptions of fiends from the book, fiends should be huge 8 foot tall ugly monstrosities. The thing sitting in the circle looked nothing like that at all.
"YES, I succeed, hmmm you don't look all that scary, or big. Must be a newborn, I guess I didn't have much Ki so it summoned you. I wonder if you're a boy or a girl?" Said Godfrey as he walked closer to inspect it. " Ohh you seem to have a little elephant, in that case I'll call you Bob."
