Henry completed his preparation. At the very center of his empty room, a symbol is there written with salt Harbek gave him.
He was wearing complete white clothing. Walking toward the center of the room before the symbol of a red circle with a smaller one in all directions. At the very center is a triangle.
Henry holds a small drum in his hand and started to do a beat. A quick beat that started to have a chaotic rhythm of the battlefield.
"Haha!! Haaa!!!"
Dancing with the beat with a hard and firm stomp. A war dance so to say. He started from the North and slowly going to the south with his stomping and drumming.
*Stomp! Dumm!!*
"Hoouuaa!!!"
*Stomp!! Dumm! Dumm!!*
"Haaa!!"
*Stomp!! Dum! Dum! Dum!!*
"Hey! Haaa!!!"
The symbol was slowly becoming brighter as he did.
"Huwa!! Huwaa!! Haaaa!!!"
*Stomp! Dum! Dum!*
'This feels like I'm on drugs!'
Henry started to feel the craze on the air. It makes his way back to the north more powerful and firm dance. His face was also shifting from every expression. When Henry reaches the North he jumps and kneels.
*Thud!!*
"Haaaa!!!"
Sweat leaking from his whole body makes the whole room hot with the red and yellow glow from the symbol increasing the temperature more.
"Apolaki, Father of Warriors, bearer of the sun. Your humble servant is at his knees thankful for his life that you fight from the night."
A silhouette of a man appears with two swords on his waist. He wears little clothing that only covers his waist and hair.
"This servant of yours is asking for forgiveness. That I let one soul depart with an unjustified trial."
His skin is brown from the heat of the scorching sun. His eyes glow in brown eyes of the earthen ground.
"I seek your wisdom and might to protect and fight like what you have been doing all your immortal life."
His body finally became tangible.
*Thud...*
He stands at the very center of the symbol with a gale of wind circling him.
"A descendant of Warrior clan... Rise young man and let me see your eyes," he said in the stern face with his eyes firmly inspecting Henry all over.
"Henry Karlos, your servant."
"Hahaha! I know your name kid, Why do I see cowardice in your eyes? I see strong and firm spirit but cowardice honed in your bones..." Apolaki said observing him.
"I'm a cowardly servant my lord. I seek strength for myself and those around me but I used my mind to know when to use it. Cowardness is my weapon to survive and improve myself," Henry accepted his words. He, himself knows when in doubt and fear we will desert all just to live.
"A warrior must know when to give up and when to fight. Tell me what do you wish?"
"I wish for might to protect and fight..."
"I wanted a servant but fate gives me a champion. Henry Karlos, you stand before me, father of Warriors! I gave you my blessing to slay all your foes and defend you, people!! If you ever forgot your duty. You shall be a stripe of my blessing!" Apolaki shouted at him. His two Kampilan Sword floats toward Henry and got absorbed into his body.
He slowly vanishes from the room and Henry bowed at his figure. Inside his soul, a golden core with swords at the very center of it.
"I didn't think this will happen. Unexpected always come in handy. Let me see what he gave me." Henry mumbles. He closed his eyes and see his cores. At the very center, his void core is spinning while the Warrior Core is circling it.
Henry taps the golden core and it showed. He was swallowed inside and then he sees memories and history of fights and wars.
It stops and he sees a lean and fast man like a jaguar wielding two sabers killing Vikings left and right. Then suddenly his weapon and armor change when an apparition of a warrior flies out of his body and fused with him. He becomes a knight riding an unstoppable carnage of death.
'Fuck!! It's like Ezra's equip magic. But this is like spirit fuse.'
Then his enemy and foes run in retreat. His eyes glowing in red berserk. Igniting fear and dread in everyone that looks at him. Henry felt like kneeling when he saw it.
'What a powerful aura!!'
Then volleys of arrows rain upon him. His armor and horse vanish and he embraces the incoming death then the sun became brighter than the mid-summer. Arrows pierce through his body but they all just healed and he started to run to them again as they retreat in more fear.
'Fuck!! This isn't just a normal power-up!! That's fucking op!!'
A flood of information came to his mind and Henry was forced out of his soul. Like a heavy smash of a hammer on the head, he feels limp and dizzy.
Spirit Warrior Assimilation: Seek a spirit of a dead warrior and equip it to the caster.
The dread of Foes: Invokes fear and suppress the enemy.
Will of a Warrior: You won't die as long as you remain under the sun.
"Urgh!! Shit! This is fucked up!" He tightly holds his head like it's bursting. He lay on the ground enduring the changes.
----
The next day comes and Henry sleeps on the ground for the whole night just by adjusting to the changes.
*knock! Knock!!*
"Urrghh!! Shit! What happen?" Henry wakes up with a jump.
"Wake up!! It's already 5 in the morning!" Navea screams behind the close door.
"It's only 5 damnit!!" Henry yelled in frustration. He still feels a massive headache and dizziness. He opens the door and looks at Navea who looks at him blankly.
"*cough!* sorry, I just need some time to adjust from the changes," Henry bowed at her lowly before going to the bathroom to clean himself.
"Fine, but keep your presence very minimal." Navea got back to her room.
"Ohh!! Do you have some soap? I don't have anything in me..." Henry asked. Navea rolled her eyes and got out of her room giving him a large leaf.
"What is this?" Henry asks in confusion.
"Just rub it to your body. It can be used for a week," Navea replied and leave.
