Chapter 10: The Peace Aspect
"Get to know yourself, then get to know others."
Torven Island
Delila's Hut
10:50 AM. the two were again in their discussion to see who was the best, I tried to intervene, but they did not listen to me, so I had to take some drastic measures.
- The two are enough! - I shouted as I ran towards the two of them - "Fire technique: sword of real fire" - I spoke right after, the flames were as intense as the last time I used them.
- We have to solve our duel, you can't interfere - said Sandro while pointing his spear at me.
- Stop dueling when we complete our objective, isn't it better? That way you will only try hard, don't you want to take your revenge together? - I gave a sermon to both of them to see if they will calm down.
- Well ... yes ... - said Yamazaki sheathed his sword - The sunflower head, drop that spear, we can solve this another time - he spoke again provoking Sandro.
- Shut up, foot of cloth, I was going to retreat even - said Sandro provoked by Yamazaki while lowering his spear.
After I managed to make them both retreat, I undid my firepower and put away my sword, the others woke up with the noise and came running out to see what had happened.
- What happened? What is this mess? Asked Sig Wald, his face wrinkled with sleep.
- Nothing, I already fixed it.
- Guys, you two have to stop fighting like that and be more peace and love with each other - Delila said rubbing her eyes.
- Of course my lady, from today I will be more behaved - Sandro replied looking like a puppy.
- This guy really sucks ... - said Yamazaki beside him.
Silvia and Sheyla did not seem to have woken up by the noise, less badly, after entering again, I felt a huge aura approaching.
- Sig, did you feel that too? I asked suspiciously as I looked back.
- Yes ... it seems to be someone dangerous.
"I'll try to watch him in a way that he can't see," I said as I closed my eyes.
After seeing the person who was coming, he was being accompanied by another guy, he seems to be a mercenary, did he come after me? I'm honestly sick of these guys ... but this guy really seems to be stronger than Sylas, I hope I don't have too many problems to face him, I'm sure he came after me for killing Sylas. As soon as I stopped feeling him, I told Sig Wald who he was.
- Sig, this guy is a mercenary, I think he's after me because I killed the previous one, maybe they are from the same organization.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to handle it," said Sig Wald in a sloppy way. "No, I don't want to involve anyone," I interrupted before finishing the word.
- But aren't we a team now? Trust us.
- I can handle it alone, you don't have to work hard.
While we were discussing this issue, Yamazaki listened and came to us.
- I'm sorry, I ended up listening to everything you said, let me take care of this guy, so I will prove that I can accompany you on our journey - this time Yamazaki was without his hat, they were really long dark hair.
- No, you wouldn't be able to defeat him - he said, distrusting Yamazaki's power.
- I will defeat him, don't worry, I'm not a weak guy, so I can show you that I can kill those elves - said Yamazaki with great conviction.
I could see in his eyes how convinced he was, that I was convinced to let him fight the guy who is coming after me, I will trust him.
- Af ... Okay, I'll let you fight, but promise me that you will win - I allowed you to fight the mercenary.
- Thank you so much Raynard - thanked Yamazaki bowing to me.
- "What a strange way to greet someone" - I thought.
- So what do we do now? Asked Sig Wald.
- Well ... let's go tell them ... - I spoke with a little fear.
After we went in to tell the girls about what awaits me, they were not so surprised, I think they got used to the confusion that went on from there until now.
- Raynard, since you joined Mercenarie's End, my life has turned upside down, nothing surprises me anymore from you - Sheyla said in a boring way.
- So you will make me feel bad ...
- I don't care, you keep putting Silvia in danger.
Somehow it hit me, and it hit me badly, she was absolutely right.
"Yeah ... really, thanks for opening my eyes," I said sadly.
It seemed like she didn't want to say it but she had to say it, even she felt bad for saying these things, I think what got worse was the impacting way she hit me with impressive words, after hearing this I preferred to leave and wait for the mercenary, I asked you to take Silvia away from here, I don't want to leave you exposed to danger.
Markind Continent
Rin deJanari
"Mr. Shamar, our troops are already moving, so that we can take over another empire," said the elf adviser next to the elf emperor, Shamar.
"Very well, that way we will make those aspects more difficult," said the elf emperor Shamar, seated on his throne in the silver castle.
The troops of the elves were already beginning to move, they are making the takeover of their neighboring empire, the beast men, their desire is to make the whole world habitable only for their species, they only think of themselves, they are high class , everyone has their homes equally, and food provided by the government itself, is a people who are unaware of the whole culture here, while they think only of themselves and their children thrive, the children of the neighbors are still in poverty.
Torven Island
Road near the Furada Mug
- Shitty little place, when will we get there? Asked Kengan with his teeth clamped disrespectfully.
- Be calm .... we are almost there - replied his companion threatened.
- Rumf ... - sighed - "Get ready Raynard, I'm coming, I'm going to take you even if I have to rip your legs off" - thought Kengan while running his tongue over his lips.
Torven Island
Delila's Hut
Yamazaki told Sandro about the current situation and what he was going to do, but Sandro had no objection except:
- The only one who can defeat you is me, so don't lose to a shit mercenary.
Yamazaki nodded his head saying yes, and started to warm up to what was coming.
"Raynard, I need you to come with me, you too, Delila, I will need your help," said Sig Wald with something in mind.
- What will you do? - I asked curiously.
- I need to take you somewhere, the name of this island is not Torven just because it is a name ... - he replied darkly.
- Sig, don't tell me you are going to take him there? Asked Delila, puzzled.
- Yes ... it's the only way.
- Wait, I don't understand anything, what exactly will you do?
- There you will see, come on.
- Sandro! Will you come with us? - I asked.
- Not! I will stay here watching the battle, as soon as it is over we will catch up with them!
It might not seem like it, but Sandro was worried about his rival, this guy is really hard to show feelings ... I was a little curious to know what Torven is, is it someone? I'm not sure, but to be so serious that Delila is amazed, it seems incredible.
Yamazaki was having his alcoholic drink with Sandro, the two were sitting on the grass in the garden, waiting for the enemy to appear, I with Sig Wald and Delila climbed the mountain that was just behind his hut, I could feel an immense aura coming from there, it wasn't a bad aura or anything, it was a pure aura, I could see that it wasn't as bad as I thought.
Leaky Mug
Torven Island
"I didn't know there would be a bar in this place, I think I'll have a drink," Kengan said, a little pleased with the place.
- "Wow, this guy managed to stay in a good mood, finally" - thought his companion relieved.
Everyone was looking at him because of his weird appearance, his clenched teeth, his clothes, he looked like he was in rags, and his sword sheathed at his waist was so big that it bothered those who were drinking and having fun there.
- What's it?! Will they be looking a lot !? Shouted Kengan without fear at all.
- You are crazy? Calm down, man ... - whispered his companion, afraid of the situation getting worse.
- Maybe I am, be quiet! - he ordered while punching him in the face.
His companion fell among the chairs, and then stood up, wiping his blood-stained face.
- I'm sorry ... I won't disturb you anymore ... - Said the injured Kengan's companion.
After those actions, a revolt will arise in the drunks who were there, so many of them got up.
- You are crazy? Hitting a person like that? - said one of the drunks who revolted.
- I do what I want, do you want to die you miserable? Replied Kengan to provoke him.
- Then your sucker can come.
- No Kengan! Do not do it! Shouted his companion.
As soon as the drunk was on Kengan, he kicked him so hard, that the drunk flew out of the bar, he started spitting blood, and he was immobile, because the pain was so great that he could do nothing. Kengan left the bar and walked towards the drunk who was lying on the floor.
"You never learn to listen to me, I always say, I do what I want, and the result is always the same," said Kengan as he walked over to the drunk.
With the drunk spitting blood, Kengan took him by the neck and lifted him up with minimal effort, the drunk tried to resist, but could not speak, until Kengan materialized a blade made of blood on his other arm and tore the drunk's belly, his guts came out while a lot of blood was running. He agonized until he died for a few seconds.
- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - laughed Kengan as he threw the drunk's body away, and guts everywhere.
With blood spurting everywhere, Kengan manipulated them to strengthen him, he ran his tongue around his mouth full of blood from the man he had just killed.
- You heard! Now learn! Do not mess with the butcher! Kengan shouted from outside the bar for everyone to hear.
Torven Island
Delila's Hut
Yamazaki was drinking with Sandro, but he had already felt Kengan approach.
- Are you feeling this Sandro? Asked Yamazaki mysteriously.
- Of course ... seriously you don't want help? Asked Sandro, concerned.
- No, I wind this guy up, I'm not going to die here, in fact I need to defeat you yet - Yamazaki was smiling as he said those words.
- Defeat me ... go on dreaming - Sandro fell into his teasing, but I bet he already knew that.
Sandro then took Yamazaki's straw hat and walked away, as Kengan was right in front of them, confused, maybe he saw that Raynard was no longer there.
- Where's that bastard? I came here to fuck with his life! Asked Kengan, confused without knowing where Raynard went.
- He went for a walk, I'm in his place now, I'm going to kill him, and before he comes back - Yamazaki said to Kengan without a hint of fear trying to provoke him.
- You? It can only be a joke - he said while laughing at the situation.
Yamazaki was silent, as he knew that guy was a hot head, and silence is his worst enemy.
- Without a word is it? Typical of people like you - he said as he approached Yamazaki.
After he was 80 centimeters away from Yamazaki, he took another step. A great blast of cut in the air wounded his arms, which he could foresee by pure talent and defended with his arms.
- "Limit of Reason, an area around 80 centimeters is formed, with its focus at maximum, those who cross the area will suffer a cut that can be fatal, the cut can reach at an almost imperceptible speed" - thought Sandro while he was back there watching the fight.
- What the fuck was that ?! You shit! Shouted Kengan desperately.
Yamazaki only gave a half-hearted laugh, provoking Kengan to get out of him, to be caught in the attack again, but he put his hand on the ground, Yamazaki only realized because of his possession, two large blades of blood appeared under Yamazaki, making him jump out of that area, hitting his foot lightly. But it was enough to make his right foot almost unusable, Sandro's desperation was enough to almost make him go after Kengan.
- Not! Sandro, I already said that I wind it up - yelled Yamazaki.
Sandro was holding on, stopping and going after him, but Yamazaki intervened preferring to fight alone, all Sandro could do was watch his rival face an enemy he is not sure he will win.
- "I really want to be able to trust Yamazaki, but if something happens here now, our promise will be in vain ..." - thought Sandro about the promise they made 4 years ago.
As soon as Kengan saw the opening he broke up, and his wounds on his arm were healed because of his power to manipulate blood. He started on top of Yamazaki with two blades of blood on his arms, with the good reflexes that Yamazaki had, then drew his sword defending against attacks and counterattacking him.
- I present you a katana, the only weapon that exists in this world. Sacred Cut Kana, the katana with the greatest cutting power in the world. - said Yamazaki while pointing his katana at Kengan.
- WHAT?! HOW DO YOU HAVE A GUN LIKE THIS ?! - Kengan said aloud, startled to see his sword.
- It does not interest you, come, I will split you in half.
Yamazaki prepared himself in his base form, waiting for Kengan to advance on top of him, when Kengan ran over Yamazaki, Yamazaki's speed increased dramatically, using his heat power on his feet, the steam coming out of him get faster, Kengan could barely see him, so cuts everywhere hit Kengan, he couldn't do anything but be defensive.
Kengan already looked bored and at the limit of his provocations, but he could do nothing at that moment, he could barely see the Yamazaki that was circling him and neither the cuts, after in one of his outbreaks, a pool of blood formed around him, it looked like the blood was too acidic. Cautious Yamazaki, stopped his heat technique so as not to get caught by that blood.
- "I'm glad I'm facing this guy, maybe Raynard would have a hard time with him ..." - thought Yamazaki.
- Finally stopped your cuts, huh? It looked like he was being bitten by mosquitoes, "said Kengan, showing off as his wounds healed with his lost blood on the floor.
- "Shit, this guy's cure ... it will take some work" - asked Yazamki who was planning something.
While Yamazaki and Kengan were facing off. Sheyla and Silvia were in a place where it was perfect for her plan.
- Silvia, do you want to learn to fight? So you won't be thrown out again - asked Sheyla who was sitting next to Silvia in a field of flowers.
- Well ... I want to, but do you think it's a good idea for me to get involved in my brother's problems? Asked Silvia uncertainly.
- I think you better learn to fight, so Raynard won't have to worry about you all the time, so he can concentrate more on the fights to come.
Silvia thought hard about the case, and what Sheyla was saying to her is the truth, if she can train with Sheyla, she will surely lift a burden off Raynard.
- You're right ... Sheyla, I want to stay strong like you, so I can fight together with my brother - Silvia said those words, her eyes were shining like the reflection of the water.
- Arf ... arf ... - Yamazaki panting.
- You are very tough even in swordsman, now I declare you as a worthy opponent.
- I appreciate it, but I'm not up to it. You who are not my height - said Yamazaki mocking his face.
- You, you will regret having hit me head on, you fucking swordsman.
The place was already completely destroyed, the hut had been left in pieces, and Sandro was still there watching the fight, he was trusting that Yamazaki would win that fight, because he was dueling Yamazaki for 4 years, while they were dueling everyone the days, they got stronger and stronger, acquiring more experiences in combat.
- "I cannot be defeated here, for my purpose, I have to protect my family" - thought Yamazaki in his combat stance.
11 years ago, Yamazaki was at rest with his parents, until his home was attacked by another rival clan of that time, he was 11 years old, his house was on fire and his parents were beheaded, when he tried to run, an arrow hit him in the back and he fell into the lake of his house, while sinking a glow appeared at the bottom of the lakes, when he regained consciousness he woke up in Markora, a city of Larcadia, his wound was treated, he woke up in a small hut and not had no idea where he was.
- Ham? ... Where am I? ... Oh ... - he asked, confused as he stood up in pain.
- Hey ... calm ... you're still not totally well. - said a blonde woman.
- What place is this?
- You are in Markora, it seems you have lost your memory.
- No. I had been hit by an arrow, and then it falls into a lake ... - he explained while putting his hand on his head that was hurting.
- Lake? ... No, I found you in the bleeding snow.
- Mother! I arrived! - said a blond boy with messy hair, he looked to be the same age as Yamazaki.
- Hi son, look, he woke up.
- Seriously?! Hi what's your name? - Asked the boy while shaking Yamazaki's hand.
- Um ... My name is Yamazaki and you?
- My name is Sandro ... What a strange name, cool!
- You think?
- Yes! We'll be great friends!
3 years later, the two started training among themselves, after many training sessions they became rivals to each other, as they could not win each other resulting only in the tie.
- I will one day defeat you! The two shouted at each other.
6 years later, the elves came to the city of Markora to collect the people's taxes, but Sandro's mother was not doing very well, and she couldn't pay that month, Sandro and Yamazaki had gone out to train, when they got home, everything was on fire.
- Mother! Mother! Shouted Sandro desperately.
- Not! Sandro! Don't come any closer! You'll end up getting hurt - yelled Yamazaki, preventing him from approaching the fire.
- But my mom is there! I need to save her! - desperate and with tears coming down, he tried to free himself from Yamazaki, but he couldn't let Sandro go.
- Sandro! Watch! We have to get out of here! It was the elves who did this, I'm sure! - shouted Yamazaki holding Sandro with all his strength.
- The elves who did it! One day they will pay for what they did to my mother! - Sandro's gaze was pure hatred and pure sadness, looking like the painting of lucifer after being expelled from the sky.
After that Sandro and Yamazaki circled the world looking for revenge for the elves, Yamazaki planned to return to his side someday, but he ended up having a new family in this world. Sandro is your family.
Gift...
- I would never lose to a guy like you, there is still a lot I want to do here - said Yamazaki convinced that he would win.
At this moment he closed his eyes, and concentrated all his energy called chakra, concentrated, he opened the gate of life, he at that moment felt that he could evolve more, become stronger, and protect Sandro when he needed to. Kengan came after Yamazaki after so many provocations, he created a sword made of blood and jumped on Yamazaki like crazy, and he was still keeping his eyes closed waiting for the right moment.
When Kengan thought he was going to top him down. Yamazaki disappeared from his sight using his speed with his heat power, when appearing from behind Kengan, he spun with his katana, cutting Kengan vertically from behind, a lot of blood gushed from the precise cut.
- AAAAAAAAAA! - Kengan shouted in pain - You wretch! You, you, I will kill you now! He shouted as he went over to Yamazaki with blood spikes all over his body.
- You don't know when to ever give up? Asked Yamazaki calmly.
In a way, every time Kengan got hurt, he could heal, but with a fatal cut like that, it would take a long time to heal, Kengan looked like he was out of his mind, so he wouldn't be able to hit Yamazaki, who on the contrary, had he was in control of the situation and he was calm, this was his swordsman way, for a long time he dreamed of being strong and proving his worth, this was his moment.
So in the moment of Kengan's fury, Yamazaki used a powerful technique that was in his arsenal.
- "Heat style: Cuts of the thousand leaves" - said Yamazaki cutting the wind.
- "So he decided to use it here? This Kengan, he will perish there ... "- thought Sandro, who was more relaxed watching the fight.
A huge translucent aura formed around Yamazaki as he cut the wind a thousand times, but it was so fast in Kengan's eyes that it looked like he only cut it once, countless glistening cuts in the air went towards Kengan who was outside they seemed to be a very hot vapor in the form of blades wandering through the air, when the thousand cuts came into contact with the body of Kengan who was coming towards them unknowingly, he stopped halfway, and fell on his knees while a lot of blood was splashing everywhere, his body had numerous irreversible cuts, the winner of this battle was Yamazaki.
- I said, you are not my height - Yamazaki said to Kengan who was kneeling there bloody.
Yamazaki looked very exhausted too, so he knelt down to try to catch his breath, when he realized looking up, Kengan was on his tail unconscious, but his desire to win that fight was bigger, he was about to punch Kengan with his blade of blood, ready to pierce his head, but Sandro intervened, stopping his attack with his spear, throwing him to the ground.
- I will not lose! I have to win! I need to win! - Kengan shouted in a desperate way, still unconscious he could speak.
He screamed so loudly, the birds flew, gave Raynard, Sig Wald and Delila to hear from a distance.
- "What happened there?" Raynard asked himself as he looked back.
- This guy ... is really a monster - said Sandro perplexed by his desire to win.
Kengan screamed that he caused his enemies to be astonished, but he soon passed out. Merciless Sandro did not deliver his final blow, he lifted Yamazaki on his shoulders, and took him to the planned meeting place with Sig Wald.
- Thank you ... for protecting me in my moment of distraction - Yamazaki thanked while being carried by Sandro.
- That way of his attack was not honorable, I would never let my brother die like that ... - said Sandro while Yamazaki fell asleep on his shoulder - Hey! You!? Damn you, don't fall asleep while I'm talking - he said afterwards annoyed that Yamazaki was sleeping on his shoulder.
In a field of flowers ...
- Come on Silvia, it still wasn't good enough, you have to come with the intention of killing the enemy, that way you won't be able to hurt even an ant - Sheyla said in a defense to Silvia.
- Sheyla! ... I can't! ... I need to rest! ... - Silvia said breathlessly as she wiped the sweat from her face.
Sheyla could not give her time to breathe, because only then would she gain more resistance, so Sheyla launched at Silvia once again, hitting her with a punch, but Silvia managed to defend her attack and fell to the ground.
"Your defense is very good now, it looks like your reflex is improving," Sheyla said, hands on hips.
Silvia soon got up, full of enthusiasm and said:
- Let's try again, I know you won't even give me time to rest.
- No, it is already good, being able to defend a punch like this is already incredible - Sheyla said surprised with Silvia - Now I will teach you how to use the aura - explained next.
- The aura?
- Yes, for you to learn about the aura, your body needs to have a minimum of resistance.
- I understand ... that's why this effort ...
- Come on, now sit down, and relax your muscles.
Silvia sat on the floor with Sheyla, the two of them did it in real time, meditation is very important to be able to manifest their aura and shape their style of power, Silvia relaxed her muscles and took a deep breath.
Torven Island
Top of the mountain
- Aren't we ever going to this place? Raynard asked, panting from rising.
- Ahhh stop, are you complaining already? We're almost there, calm down, "replied Sig Wald ironically, he was having a great time.
"But you said that two hours ago," said Raynard, who just stopped putting his hands on his knee.
- Come on Raynard, just a little more, we're coming soon - Delila trying to motivate him.
- "My god ... they are trying to kill me. Ham? " - he said while looking ahead to see a huge blue light.
I saw large stone pillars around a square well in the middle that emitted a great blue light from the bottom, the biome of the place was different from the one below, the ground was covered with snow, the trees were dry, but the strangest thing it is that I felt an aura coming from there, an aura with a power beyond what I can calculate just based on my power.
"So Raynard, I'm going to tell you what that is, I can tell by your silly face that you don't know," said Sig Wald, making fun of me.
- Aaah! Stop talking like that - Delila refuted while she was snickering.
- This well is a portal, the pillars are what support the portal even if they are not connected, as soon as you fall there, I do not know what will happen to you, it is different with each one, but apparently I was right, the portal reacted to me and also to you - explained Sig Wald while walking around the well.
- But what is that for? You still haven't told me why I came here.
- This place will make you be strong like us, you are already someone extraordinary, maybe it will be even more than us, here inside you will dominate your aspect.
- Will I be able to dominate my appearance in there? - I asked, I was feeling happy and at the same time I feared what I would have to go through.
- Yes ... after you enter, you will have to face a very dangerous enemy, his form will be according to your aura.
- An enemy? According to my aura?
- Yes, it is necessary to become stronger than him, so you will awaken his power of the aspect, but make no mistake, he will not be your only enemy.
After he explained it to me, did I have a sense of how it will be, a creature according to my aura? Hmm ... Let's see what he looks like, I hope I get answers from Dormin, and also from my appearance, just being strong is not enough, I have to have the power to obliterate anyone who stands in my way. Ham? What happened to me, I don't even think so ...
- Listen to Raynard, the time there is different from the time out here, 1 day here is equal to 3 months there, so you don't have to worry about us out here and your delay, for us it will be a snap, but for you ... - explained Sig Wald, he seemed to be enjoying the situation of being able to fuck me.
- "Less bad ..." so, I won't have so many worries ... Tell Silvia and Sheyla that I'll be back soon.
So I walked to the well, closed my eyes and jumped. While I was falling I could hear Sig Wald talking to me, it seemed like he was on my mind.
- Raynard, from now on you will be alone, the name of this portal is Torven, he was a great god on this island. Now go and don't be dominated by your appearance, if he totally dominates you, your existence will be erased - said Sig Wald as Raynard fell, and soon after that he did not hear anything else.
In Silvia's training, she learned that the aura serves as observation, defense, power and magic, the stronger you are the more you will be able to do these things, so Silvia with her eyes closed, can feel everything around her, and right after that a time Sheyla told her to absorb the aura that was around her, so she could shape her aura into her visible form.
Soon afterwards it was possible to see Silvia's aura molding herself. Sheyla noted that her aura was purple to silver, and asked Silvia to focus on absorbing the aura and shaping her own.
- Silvia, open your eyes very slowly.
As Silvia slowly opened her eyes, she was startled to see her body around an aura with purple tones.
- Sheyla! Is this my aura? I got it? Asked Silvia, amazed.
- Yes, that's your aura, but stay focused. It's still not perfect.
- Fine! - Silvia looked like she was excited to see her aura for the first time.
- "This girl, she managed to reach so fast ... she will be a great person" - Sheyla thought while watching Silvia with her rapid progress.
After Silvia managed to make her aura more consistent, Sheyla stood up and told her to get up without diminishing her aura.
- Come on, get up, but do not disguise your aura, you have to be able to get up without undoing it.
- Okay, I'll try.
When Silvia got up, her aura fell away from nowhere.
- I told you to stay focused. Let's go again.
Silvia sat down again and personified her aura, then again she tried to get up, after she slowly got up her aura almost broke, but she managed to keep it, it was a little unbalanced, but I could still keep it.
- Silvia, now I want you to run around this field with your active aura, concentrating while running is essential, don't forget.
- Okay, I'll try - Silvia tried very hard to keep active at that moment.
- "This way she will defend herself" - Sheyla thought if she had to leave Silvia.
Silvia kept going around the field full of flowers, there were times when her aura was undone, but quickly she got around the situation, until she had a time when she could do 10 rounds without undoing her aura, even if she didn't get tired.
- So Silvia, it's a lot easier to maintain your aura now, right? It seems that it has become something natural to your body.
- Now that you said it's true, I don't need to focus all my concentration on it, it's just here.
- How about now we fight hum? Let's see if you can fight me better.
While the two were training, the day soon turned into night, Sandro and Yamazaki had reached the top of the mountain.
- Sandro! Yamazaki! So did you manage to defeat him? Asked Sig Wald, concerned.
- Yes, Yamazaki succeeded, but he is in a bad state ... he is still sleeping - replied Sandro putting Yamazaki lying on the floor.
- Leave it to me, I have healing powers too, I take care of him - said Sig Wald as he placed a green barrier around Yamazaki.
- Seriously! You can do it?! You are really impressive, thank you, thank you - said Sandro, amazed by Sig Wald.
- "Sot" - said Sig Wald while healing Yamazaki inside the barrier.
- Thank you very much, heartily, if that sucker died, I don't know what would become of me - said Sandro with tears in his eyes.
- But aren't you rivals? Asked Sig Wald.
- Yes, but we are also brothers.
- What?! Are you brothers?! Did you hear that Delila, are they brothers ?!
- Yes ... yes ... I heard - Delila was a little strange at the moment.
- So all this time ...
After that, Sandro told about his childhood with Sig Wald and also about what the elves caused him.
- These sons of bitches, they will never stop until nothing is left, so let's put an end to them, they caused Raynard a lot of harm too, Raynard is kind of weird ... he doesn't seem to resent something for a long time, no matter how much it hurts you at the moment ... - vented Sig Wald sitting around a fire they created.
- I see ... so the elves also ruined his life, Yamazaki appeared out of nowhere, he is a considerate brother, because he simply appeared in the snow, he was hurt, with an arrow in the back, my mother found when I was 11, and took care of his wound, then we became great friends - explained Sandro while stirring the fire with a stick.
- Out of the blue? As well?
- Yes, how does the fire know?
"Strange ..." said Sig Wald thoughtfully.
- By the way, where is that woman and that girl? Asked Sandro about Sheyla and Silvia.
- Good question, Sheyla had taken her somewhere, as long as she is with Sheyla everything is fine.
- Really, this woman is scary.
Silvia and Sheyla did not return to Delila's hut, as they do not know how the situation was, so they decided to rest in the field, Silvia was very tired of her training, especially in the part of having to face Sheyla.
- Come, lie here, now rest, tomorrow we will have more - Sheyla said letting Silvia lie on her thighs.
- Okay, what is my brother doing now?
- I don't know, I can't feel your aura anymore, disappeared from nowhere.
- Did something happen to him?
- I really doubt it, I can't see him losing a fight, he's a very strong person - Delila was confident talking about Raynard.
- Okay ... I hope to see ... he ... log- - while talking Silvia fell asleep on Sheyla's things.
The fire over there, in the middle of an open field, two people, was a great scenario for some predator to show up to "present themselves", but I think Sheyla scared even the worst enemies, so she was able to rest, even if it's a little , she fell asleep a little, but after waking up in the middle of the night, she saw something among the trees, a slim figure with a round head on fire, maybe she was seeing things because of sleep, so she blinked there was nothing else over there.
- "I think it was really in my head ... I really need to rest, but it's a situation that appears to me ..." - Sheyla thought with her exhausted mental state.
After that she fell asleep again, she only woke up the next morning, while she blinked when she woke up, she didn't feel any weight on her thighs, desperately she looked around and saw Silvia training blows with her active aura, it was a relief to see that she didn't nothing happened.
Somewhere in the world
- Roth, Koli, come here, I need to talk to you about something - the two twin girls called a tall man, average around 2 meters and 80 centimeters, he was well defined, his hair went to the nape, dark brown in color , he had dark skin.
- Yes father? Replied Roth.
- Say my father? Replied Koli.
The twins had traces of a very old tribe, their hair was braided, Roth had light brown hair almost red, and Koli had dark brown hair almost black, one had an ax on his back, and the other wore an engraved sword in it.
- The father will need to leave, I will have to visit a friend, do you want to come with me? Asked the tall man.
- Yes father! I want! Replied Roth
- I want dad! - Koli replied while jumping with happiness.
Torven Island
Field of Flowers
- Come on Silvia, let's start with training - said Sheyla tying a bandage on her hands.
- Right!
The two prepare to confront each other again, Sheyla went after Silvia, but now she was a little more serious than usual, she tried to hit Silvia with a punch, but Silvia quickly managed to see behind her punch, thus managing to dodge and counterattack, but Sheyla quickly grabbed her punch and knocked her to the ground.
"So you're finally fighting back," Sheyla said, happy with her progress.
- I can't stay here forever, right?
"That's right," he replied with a laugh on his face.
After Silvia got up another round of initiation, Sheyla again went over to Silvia, but Silvia had something in mind, as she has seen this attack countless times, she seemed to be studying Sheyla's movements, after Sheyla got very close to her giving blows, Silvia managed to get away scaring Sheyla, then she and approached with an attack, without much to do Sheyla only had time to defend, but the attack seemed so strong that she was able to throw her for a few meters away even defending.
- "That Silvia, this is how you do it! Hey! What happiness! " - Sheyla was jumping with happiness inside.
- Let's go again, Sheyla - asked Silvia motivated.
- Of course!
So the two were fighting in sync, but what Silvia didn't know yet, was manipulating her magic techniques, so Sheyla took her by surprise.
- Fast punch technique: Wind punch - Sheyla started to increase the speed of her punches, even if a little weak, they were imperceptible to Silvia. She only managed to defend, the punches made the vegetation that were disappearing quickly, the sequences of punches were so fast that they formed drafts around them. As soon as it was over Silvia's arms were a little swollen.
- I'm sorry, you're fine, I got a little carried away - Sheyla said running towards Silvia.
- It's okay ... I'm even a little happy, for having managed to endure this attack of yours - said Silvia with a slight laugh.
- Okay ... since you're asking.
Then again the two started exchanging blows, but Silvia noticed that she was missing something, she hadn't learned about any techniques yet.
When the two stopped to take a break, Silvia asked Sheyla when she was going to learn magic.
- Sheyla, when will I learn to create techniques like everyone else?
- Techniques ... I think you are not ready for this yet, your aura is too light for you to create a powerful technique yet ...
- But, please ... teach me ... I want my own power so badly - Silvia begged Sheyla.
- Hmm ... Maybe with you it is different because you are an anima, it costs nothing to try, first you need to find your energy flow inside you, after that try to shape a form of what this energy will be like.
- "Flow of energy ... I can feel it, but what will I shape?" - in her thoughts, right after she had a great idea - "Since I'm half a spider, how about I use webs as my power?"
Sheyla was watching Silvia mold her own powers, until she could see webs around Silvia, when she touched them she realized that they were not normal webs, they were looking like a wire similar to steel.
- "I understood why your aura seems to be light, this power of yours needs a great concentration, and a dense aura would never be able to shape something so imperceptible and resistant like that, this girl is a genius!" - Sheyla thought with her hands on her chin.
Each time she learned more about the aura and the magic, the more the webs became resistant and strong, Sheyla thought that it would serve as a support as much as a killer lethal technique, and could tear enemies apart in moments. As soon as Silvia opened her eyes she saw the webs around her aura, she didn't seem surprised, because that was what she really wanted to happen.
- Sheyla, since I am a demi-human, on the part of spiders, I thought of webs at first, but it seems that they are different from normal webs, right? Asked Silvia, surrounded by thin but resistant webs.
- You did very well, I had never seen a technique like this, I bet that when you master it, you will be an excellent person in the art of murder.
- Well ... I think I know very well how to manipulate these webs, in fact I am a spider, and this is my nature, what I did was just reinforce it to another level, but it seems that it exceeded my expectations. .. - said Silvia with serious eyes.
- It's ... true, so you just reinforced them ... - Sheyla said when she saw Silvia's innovative technique.
- Sheyla, I'm going to train alone until I can move them better, I don't want to hurt you, I'm not belittling you or anything, it's because I'm not completely in control, you know? - Silvia had her eyes transmitting a great will and motivation, making Sheyla leave her at ease.
- Okay ... you're right, you can go train a little by yourself, in fact you need to know yourself too - Sheyla said with a half-smile, but was hiding her concern.
Silvia went to the middle of the forest, it was a corner a little farther from the field where they were.
"It looks like she really grew up ..." Sheyla said with a laugh.
Her web skills gradually increased as she attacked the air. The web was so strong that it managed to cut trees like paper, and so imperceptible that they were almost transparent. She hit in a row of spins in the air and easily managed to manipulate them, forming a field of webs around her body, her webs managed to go a distance of 10 meters, it may seem little for simple webs, but for yours that cut as paper it was enough to kill an enemy at this distance without knowing the cause.
The extent to which she trained with her technique. She ended up thinking of a perfect name to do it, "Mantirscorpse", when she thought of that name a mixture of puppets and bodies came into her head, maybe she is thinking of improving to a point where she can control people, for a aside this is a very dark thing coming from her, but we cannot deny her charisma as an arachne.
So she decided to take a rest, after her intense training, a few meters away from her there is a lake where she can take a bath, so she started to make her way with the pile of branches that she had in front of her with her hands, this day everything was so green, but when looking at the lake in the distance, she is faced with a somewhat somber being, he seemed to be distracted, the day was very sunny, illuminating the whole forest, but when looking at him, she realized that he did not part of this place, his pumpkin head looking like it was on fire inside, his body looking like it was made from tree branches, there he was, crouched looking at his reflection in the water, with his huge sickle and long thin arms resting on knees.
- It seems-to-be-afraid-girl ... - said the slender being who had noticed Silvia from afar while looking at her reflection, her voice locked and muffled, with a frightening tone.
- No ... - replied Silvia stuck from where she was.
The being turned its pumpkin head towards Silvia and without realizing it, it appeared in front of Silvia, its size was three times hers, it had to look down, because of its size, and its burning eyes transmitted a lot pain and suffering, Silvia's sweat was cold, but she was not afraid of the creature, she was feeling empathy for him, she felt different and he transmitted this feeling to her, the air in the scenery was carrying the flowers through the air .
- You-are-like-I-am-little-girl - he looked at her motionless while saying those words, the scene was tense.
- What do you mean? ... I don't understand ... - said Silvia without understanding what he meant.
After she asked this question, the flame on her pumpkin head stopped and her body turned gray, and he remained in that same position, motionless looking at her, without saying another word.
- Are you there? ... - Silvia asked innocently.
She asked this question, but the slim figure was no longer there, somehow, her conscience no longer inhabited that body there that seemed to be slowly rotting. So Silvia decided to touch him, but no action had exercised the slim figure, so she realized that he was no longer there, the scene seemed to return to normal, everything in constant motion.
After this magnificent event and also a little frightening, the body of the being deteriorated into dry leaves, surely Silvia would never get it out of her head, something like that never happened to almost anyone in the world, after that she was walking towards the lake to take your bath.
Markind Continent
Rin deJanari
- Sir, our troops are taking a lot of casualties, the beastmen are more powerful than we imagined - explained the situation to the elf emperor. Shamar.
- How many kilometers away are your enemy's kingdom? Asked Shamar to his adviser still seated on his throne.
- 500 kilometers sir, do not tell me that you are planning ... - the adviser looked at the sweaty emperor.
Emperor Shamar is an elf who holds a lot of magic, some say he received the power of god, and others the power of the devil. Shamar extended his hands to the skies under the roof of his castle, he was so confident of himself that he did not even rise from his throne. His big silver hair, and his smooth skin that looked like it was never touched, his appearance was quite innocent for a person like him.
- "Hakkjat Kottar" - quoted the elf emperor. Runic words, formed around his hands, then a light was sent to his passing through his ceiling, as if it were something intangible.
"Sir ... that power, it will kill even our troops," said the elf adviser.
- I don't care, I can send more troops later. Now bring that girl over here.
- Yes sir ... bring the elf Louise to the castle, the emperor wants to speak to her.
Two elf soldiers went to fetch Louise from her home to bring her to the castle, as soon as she arrived being held by force by the elven soldiers.
"Okay, girl, I found out you found it, the peace aspect," he said to Louise, who was in the hands of the guards.
- Now, please do what you promised me ... - Louise was really bad, she seemed to be sleepless nights.
"Of course ... of course ... free this person's family," ordered Shamar.
- "Raynard ... I'm sorry ... I hope you're alive ... forgive me ... forgive me ..." - Louise was crying while thinking about Raynard, she didn't know if he was alive, but she believes that he can be alive and well.
- Daughter! Shouted Louise's parents.
Louise's parents went to meet her to hug her, even though she was happy to see her parents again, Louise was also crying with sadness for leaving Raynard and abandoning her master for her goal, which was to free her parents.
Markind Continent
York
The war between elves and wild beasts was arduous, but wild beasts got the better of them because of their robust physique and their animal instincts, but when they looked up at the sky, it got a little green, and the rain started to fall as soon as the rain touched them their skins started to corrode, both from the elves and from the wild men, everyone was hit, and everything around them started to melt, children, mothers, the elderly, parents, everyone was caught by the acid rain, the people who were evacuating the city while the war was being fought, started to die because of this rain.
- Sir! We need to get away from here! At least you have to live! - said a great wild man resembling a gray wolf.
- Not! I have to stay! If we are going to die, let me go along! Said his leader.
- But sir, you have to live! Run from here!
- Shit! I will not be able to carry the weight of my dead people!
They were under a wooden house, but soon the roof started to roll and they didn't have time to be arguing.
- Mr Thunder, please ... you are the only one who can carry this weight and rise ... - said the big gray wolf.
- Shit! I swear I will avenge you, I will destroy all the elves! Thunder swore as he left his deputy behind.
- Go ... and find people strong enough like you, and destroy that empire of sons of whores.
While Vice Leader Kaz ran through the city to get on the front lines, his fur melted, but none of the beast men retreated, on the contrary, they advanced even further against the troops of the elves who were fleeing because of the rain, while he ran he saw what the rain was causing, dead beast children, the elderly, pregnant women, all of that filled him with immense hatred, that not even the pain was affecting him, as soon as he arrived at the front line troops, he saw that the elves died and some managed to escape, even with all the rain killing them, they boasted of their victory against the elves.
"AAAAAAAAA !!!!! THE VICTORY IS OURS!!!!" Screaming wild beasts screamed, even though their people died, they felt themselves a victorious people.
The people of the beasts, the gray wolves, shouted for their victory against the elves, but they were the ruin for them, it was an honorable glory. Its leader Thunder escaped carrying all the weight of his people, he did not flee out of fear, but because he was a new hope for his people to rise, but his pride was hurt by doing such a thing.
- Mr Shamar, that clan of stinky monsters was eliminated, thanks to its power, and some troops also returned alive.
- Very well ... Now, let's take the war to those who give us so much work ... One day the whole world will be governed by us, elves.
- "It is still too early for that, first you need to finish them your useless" - said a dark voice in his mind.
- "Yes sir, my only God"
A somewhat mysterious voice connected with the elf emperor Shamar, a superior and much stronger force.
Poles
The coldest place in the world
- It seems that they are moving ... - a man as pale as a corpse wearing old black armor and a torn cloak, how can such a person withstand such a cold?
This man who appears to be 40 years old wandered through the coldest lands in the world, the continent of Poles is the most dangerous among them, he wanders alone towards a large iceberg, he walked through the water that froze with every step he took, while arriving at the iceberg there seemed to be a kind of entrance, there was his rest, alone, and in a vacant place, there was no one, or anything very special, just the old man in old armor.
Dark Continent
The dark continent is a very dangerous place, almost everyone who dared to step there died, but there was a woman in shining armor and her sword, she looked like a valkyrie, she was being accompanied by a guide from the dark continent, the sea was black and in his boat he guided her out of there, as soon as she left there, she returned with a cord of souls, all the souls trapped in that place were released after she broke this cord outside this continent.
- Finally, I was able to save these poor souls. It looks like he is waking up, I hope to find him soon, peace - said the woman in the shining armor, content.
As soon as she left there, the woman was walking through the desert that separated Larcadia and Pharot, she went towards Pharot, where the stone beings live. The Hasuns, a people rich in culture, all had shiny black skin and stones on some parts of their bodies, they were prosperous, and they played a big role in the history of the world, they say that there started magic and aura, because it was a place concentrated in the fight of the beginning of the world, the giants against the dragons, their fights for generations, created mountains and oceans, but the two were extinct a long time ago, they say that the sword of a giant called Excalibur, is still hidden around the world.
There are theories that the great old dragon is also asleep in some corner of the world, perhaps he may already be dead.
- I need to find one of the 5 time relics ... - said the woman as she wandered through the desert.
The 5 relics of time ... are the 5 most powerful weapons in the world, no one knows where they are or who they are with, but whoever has them, surely the person can become like a god, the weapons were created from 5 great people considered deities on the planet, they left before they sealed themselves in weapons, giving them great powers from those who obtain them.
In some bar in the world ...
- Aaaaa !! This drink is fucking awesome! - Said a boy with long, messy red hair, his skin was brown, and he was a little muscled, he had no top clothes, only pants and a boot, and a huge sword wrapped in white cloths.
- I want another one! Bring that shit! Today I will kill myself with drinking! The boy shouted at the bartender.
- Right now, but aren't you too young to drink like that? Asked the bartender.
- Aaaaa, don't fuck! - the boy refuted.
The bartender soon fell silent and gave the rebel boy more drinks.
- It seems that he is waking up, I think I better say "hi" to him - the boy left with the drink in his hand out of the bar, laughing like crazy in the dawn of a calm city.
His shark-like teeth, and his demon-like appearance, his two horns, he was almost a demi-human, he walked around town, falling back and forth, but no one dared to mess with him, his appearance it amazed them, for looking like a demon.
Torven Island
Top of the mountain
Yamazaki was already awake and that morning confusion continued, Sandro and Yamazaki arguing while Raynard was not present.
"I may be more or less, but I can end your race here," said Yamazaki.
- You can try your luck, you "Hurt" got it? Injured? - Sandro made a joke so bad that even Yamazaki laughed.
Delila and Sig Wald decided to go down to the pierced mug, so Yamazaki and Sandro soon followed, as he did not know when Raynard would come back, they were sure that if he came back and they were not there, they would be in the pierced mug, so they went down the mountain. Silvia and Sheyla were getting ready to return too, their training was over, so they went to meet the other 4, but as soon as they returned as planned, Kengan's body was not there in Delila's cabin.
- I knew I should have put an end to that guy ... - said Sandro bitterly sorry.
- I told you your monga songa, you should have killed him, luckily I passed out - murmured Yamazaki to Sandro.
- It doesn't fill, you wouldn't have killed him either.
- Of course it would kill you, you have a heart of butter, I already have a cold and calculating.
- You? Cold and calculist? You don't even know to count to 10.
- Of course I know, forgot? You don't know that.
Sandro was annoyed and as they walked, he counted to 10 behind them.
- 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 1 ... Aaaarg - Sandro counted behind the 3.
"I said, he doesn't know," whispered Yamazaki to Sig Wald.
The two started to laugh secretly at Sandro while trying to count to 10.
"Poor thing, don't laugh at him," said Delila.
"But you're also holding yourself back so you don't laugh," said Sig Wald, looking at Delila holding his laugh.
Then the three burst out laughing seeing Sandro trying to count, Sandro found out and soon got bored with the three. When they arrived at the bar with a cold mug, Sheyla was there at the table of the saint always seated with Silvia.
"Wow, we haven't seen each other for a few days," said Sig Wald, moving toward their table.
- It's true ... - Sheyla replied taking her cold drink.
- Oops, when you have guys, - said Sandro with the bar staff.
- Did you manage to resolve yourself? - said a man sitting at one of the tables.
- Not yet, but one day I'll beat that guy up - replied Sandro convinced.
- "Give me a beating ... Go dreaming" - thought Yamazaki while sipping his drink.
As soon as Sig Wald looked at Silvia, his eyes widened, seeing such a development in a short time, he from a distance noticed his awakened and strong aura.
- Sheyla ... what did you do with this girl? Asked Sig Wald, curious to see Silvia's aura.
- I just took the time to train her, she couldn't be protected all the time.
- Well ... It's true, but so young and already having an aura like that ... It's impressive.
- Because you haven't seen your technique yet ...
- Technique, but already? I'm curious to know what it is.
"I'll show you Uncle Sig sometime," said Silvia.
- Oun, she called me uncle, did you hear?
- Silvia, no confidence for these perverts.
- But but.
- No but.
Sig Wald was ill after those words that he had not heard in a while and went to Delila, as she was the only one who did not mistreat him.
- Here you come with that abandoned dog face again, right? Asked Delila.
- WHAT?! UNTIL YOU ARE TREATING ME EVIL ?! - Sig Wald shouted with tears streaming down his face, then went to Sandro and Yamazaki to drink together.
- This guy really doesn't ...
After all this mess, the 3 most messy ones got drunk.
- There ... bro ... will Raynard be back well? Asked Yamazaki.
- I ... I think so, that place ... changes people, you know? Sig Wald replied, his face swollen from drinking.
- Yeah ... I'm on ...
- What the fuck are you talking about? Asked Sandro.
- No ... you're interested ... - refuted Yamazaki.
Again the two got up to fight a duel, but they were so bad that they fell drunk on the floor, when Sig Wald looked down they were both sleeping on the floor of the bar.
- I ... I'm going to enter ... this one too ... - Sig Wald fell slowly on the floor drunk.
Before the 3 could handle it, the 3 were sleeping on the floor of the bar.
- These 3 look like children ... - Sheyla said to Delila.
- True, they just take work, rumf.
- It seems that Raynard is the most adult among them.
- I agree with you.
- Now we have to get them out of here and take them to the cabin.
- They only take work ...
- Leave it to me - volunteered Silvia.
- Ham? What will you do? Asked Delila.
- Just watch.
Silvia wrapped them in her strong webs and managed to drag them to the cabin and leave them sleeping on the floor.
They were all waiting for him, but nobody knew if he would really come back, nobody knows what's going on with him in there, but they were all sure, Raynard he won't be back the same as always, maybe even the same Raynard a little, but from what Sig Wald said, everyone who goes to a "Progression Gate" comes back changed after finding out about their inner self.
- What?! Ham ?! What is it?! Said Sig Wald, wrapped in webs, but he couldn't let go.
Same thing the Sandro and Yamazaki who were rolling around and around without being able to get loose.
- But what, what did that, what webs are these?
- Oh, sorry, I forgot to undo last night ... - said Silvia after approaching them.
- So this is your power?
- Yes...
- I thought it was amazing, I could feel how strong it can become! Said Sig Wald excitedly.
- It is true? Did you like it?
- Yes, it's amazing!
- Thanks!
