Chapter 28 - HE Returns

"Incredible!" The king was dumbstruck "Guards! Go tell the adventurers guild to make a Platinum ID card for Mr. Faceless Wanderer here!"

"Yes sir!" the guards left

"Boy if there's anything you need to continue your training don't hesitate to ask"

"Well I guess I could use a new sword." you say with a nervous chuckle

"HAHAHA, Of course! The armory is open to you!" the guards return with a shiny new Platinum ID card

"Are you sure about this Your Grace?"

"If I wasn't sure about you, you'd be dead by now, I trust you and your powerful enough to deserve it. You will usher in a new era! I can feel it." he starts to leave "The armory is third door on the left in the throne hall"

"Thank you!" after you went and got a new sword, this one clearly better than the last, you went for a walk around town and immediately noticed everyone looking at you and whispering, you went into a bar for a drink, sat down and asked the bar tender,

"What's with everyone?"

"Oh! You don't know? Your pretty famous around here as a new Platinum adventurer with a cloak and mask that can use purple unextinguishable flames." One of the guards must have blabbed... A group of thugs busted into the bar

"We heard you were hangin around here, so your the "Faceless Wanderer" everyone's been talkin about? You dont look like much"

"Hey bar keep, who are they?"

"Some thugs who have been making chaos around town, not even the guards can handle them..." he said meekly

"That so?"

"You'd better do what's good for you and hand over everything you've got, including that fancy mask of yours." You couldn't help but laugh, "What's so funny jackass?!"

"I just couldn't take it anymore, you act so much like cliche thugs that it's funny" you sigh "So what you wanna go outside and fight or what?" at this point they were fuming mad, you both went outside and a small crowd gathered to watch "Let's get this over with" you draw your sword,

"What? not gonna use your fancy flames?"

"What you mean these?" you shot a Hell Spear into the sky and it happened to come down and land right in front of them, "Nah, your not worth it" In truth it takes a lot out of me when I use it so I'd prefer to avoid using it unnecessarily, they all draw their weapons and run at you, thanks to the sword training you've been doing you easily manage to take out one or two of them but they start to overwhelm you so you coat your sword in normal fire, startling one, you managed to slash across his chest and catch his cloths on fire, you didn't notice it till an arrow pierced your leg that they had an archer, you shouted "EVERYONE LEAVE NOW" as soon as you said that they all rushed into nearby building and watched through windows,

"What's all this about huh?" the gang leader said,

"Well I can't really fully control this yet" you got ready and released a Fire Cutter without Hell Flame and you found it was much easier to do, but you used a massive horizontal slash that covered the street and caught all the thugs on fire, and right after a large group of guards showed up and apprehended them, just as one of them came to talk to you, you collapsed from blood loss.

"So... Your learning fire huh?" you recognized that voice...

"Mephisto! Where am I!?"

"Geez why are you yelling? We're in your mind after all"

"What's going on?"

"Well currently you are being rushed to a druid after a arrow pierced an artery in your leg, or do you mean me?"

"..."

"Well to put this simply, the stronger you get the easier it is to talk to you, and since your mind is still under lock and key I figured annoying you when I had the chance will do. But I gotta say, im impressed, you have amazing control over fire and even created some almost as strong as mine. Ah it like a new me has been born"

"Fuck off"

"Ooh angry! I like it! Anyway it's time to say goodbye, your waking up."
