Next morning Sparda woke up on his usual time and he opened his system to collect the rewards.
Sparda:
[MISSION COMPLETED- SAVE SHURI AND AKENO HIMEJIMA
REWARDS OBTAINED- BARRIER BREAKER, 30000 SP]
Sparda:
[INTEGRATING….. DONE]
Then Sparda got up from bed and went to get freshen up after that he had breakfast and created a magic circle to go to Rizevim's castle. He packed up all his stuff and then stepped into the circle and teleported.
Rizevim: So you came back how was your trip??
Sparda: It was really nice grandpa. I really enjoyed the food most.
Rizevim: Ok rest for a bit and then start training again.
Then Rizevim went sent somewhere and Sparda went to his room to his room to keep all his stuff after that he again started training. He knew he needed to train his body so that he can lift the burden of his powers on his body.
~AFTER 3 YEARS~
Now Sparda was already 9 years old. He grew a lot in all these 3 years. He was now 4'11''. After seeing him nobody will think that he is 9 years old he looks much older. All these years Sparda didn't stopped training for once since he need to make his body stronger for his powers. Every morning he trained and then went out to hunt beasts. A lot have happened in these 3 years. He still haven't mastered CRUSH MAGIC.
Two days after his 7th birthday there was an incident which made Rizevim and Sparda distant.
Rizevim: Sparda you have grown a lot. I think time has come for you to learn about personality of devils or how devils should be.
Sparda: I don't understand grandpa what do u mean??
Rizevim: Actually devils should be evil, wicked, brutal, bad, scum, wrong, brutes, as well as vicious, and it is the role of a devil to kill every single person they don't like. Do you understand what I said??
Sparda: Honestly I don't care about all that I just know that everything is meaningless infront of ABSOLUTE STRENGTH.
Rizevim: What did you say?? You are a devil you have to be all that if you want to be a devil.
Sparda: I am proud of what I am. I don't care for all that.
Then Rizevim tried to his Sparda and his hand just phased through him. Rizevim was really enraged he was thinking he raised this brat now he won't listen to him. He thought that he would get a follower but that didn't work. What was the result of being so nice to him and raising him feeding and after that this was the result. In rage he again tried to hit him but to no avail his hand would phase through him.
Sparda: No matter how much you try you won't be able to hit me. Since I always respected you I didn't retaliate like Vali did.
Rizevim: Brat you have the audacity to go against me I will kill you.
Sparda just walked away and Rizevim kept gritting his teeth. In reality Rizevim was very prideful and Sparda just spat on his pride he won't forgive him. But after few minutes Rizevim calmed himself thinking that Sparda's power are unique if he is able to keep him in his castle he will help him out when needed.
After that day Rizevim never tried to be nice to him. He returned to his original personality. Sparda already knew that rizevim wanted to use him so he was nice to him. He saw how Rizevim treated his brother. After this incident Sparda went to library and started reading about Sacred Gears. He wanted to make a power like Rizevim's Sacred Gear Canceller. But he wanted his power to blood related which his kids will be able to inherit. But 2 years passed he still was not successful.
