„That kid really is something!"
„Master Hiroto's choices are always promising!"
„Training him would be a wise choice!"
...
The liegemen were surprised, but in a pleased way and everyone was curious about the child. He killed and laughed over it, which piqued their curiosity.
~You have gained 100 Dark Qi~
~Unlocked Cursed Shop~
~Unlocked Soul Binding~
„..what..?!"
Ema regained her consciousness and her eyes widened to the utmost. The object lying lifeless in front of her was unbelievable and she tried to move her right arm, that hasn't been dislocated.
„No..?!"
No emotions have been shown on the surface of her face, however, memories blinded her eyes and the lifeless head didn't resemble the man, she cared for.
She was an elf and the daughter from the Kerjuki Clan's master. It counted to one of the five biggest clans in the Elf Country, but the other clans weren't happy with the Kerjuki Clan.
They brought peace with a iron fist and knocked anyone down, who opposed this ideology.
Despite the several encounters of other clan elders, one thing annoyed the daughter and that was to marry a young master against her own will.
The father despited any futile resistance and his own blood didn't make any difference.
She fled and ran, until her legs couldn't hold her. She fell on the grassy flat soil of the forest and laid, covered with dirt. The birds in the sky flew faster than her eye can capture.
Time flew and light vanished, but footsteps resounded in the environment. The star in the dark sky shone bright and a horse stopped in the vicinity.
This was the first meeting and the first time experiencing the worrying face of the man, who helped her. He ultimately even betrayed his own family for her, but now..
„..noo..sober..whyyy..?!"
*drop* *drip* *drop*
„..YUITOOO..!!"
The eyes overflowed with tears and her mouth screamed his name with deep longing.
„Haha.."
The scenery of a woman crying for her beloved man, Fuji loved it and wished to capture the moment with a camera.
Nevertheless, Fuji had an idea in mind and persuading it to force on Ema would be a good thought.
„Ema.."
Before approaching her, he threw the sword aside and had an facial expression of apology.
„..sober..what do you want..!!"
She screamed without glancing at the person and Fuji smiled inwardly.
„Listen, you should know something about Yuito.."
Ema finally stared at him ragingly and the surprise seemed to have cooled her off.
„I'm sorry.."
„No, don't worry, but do you know what Yuito has done?"
Fuji's objective was to use the lack of trust from Yuito, that he came to realization by studying the conversation between them.
Ema glanced at Fuji and raised her eyebrow, „What do you mean?"
Fuji faked an angry expression and heaved a sigh of disappointment.
„He didn't tell you? Well, he massacred your clan and on the way of delivering the message, he undoubtedly found you. He used you as an excuse for his atrocities and tried to cleanse his sins by helping you. Unfortunately, you fell for the deceiving love."
Part of the claim is right and is said by obtaining a valid point trough listening to their conversations, but the part of massacre and helping her only because of it, is false, however, the lack of trust played against him now.
Ema's blank eyes froze and didn't move an inch. The events including of her beloved dying and then be told of him massacring her clan traumatized her.
She may dislike her father, but her beloved family lived in the clan's territory, likewise her old friends and the person she loved, killed them all..
„That can't be..possibly true..?"
Fuji gazed at Hiroto Kulh with an fixed eye and the indication reached him, returning it with a small grin.
„I will show it to you."
Fuji stretched his arm with a open hand and gestured to her to accept his hand.
„Here, take my hand."
Ema reached with her right hand and thanked him.
„They only came for him, but not for you, so don't worry."
Fuji picked her up and she supported herself by tangling her right arm around his neck.
'Juri, do the Soul Binding'
~Yeah, yeah.~
In the devastated room, no one noticed the enchantment put on Ema and Hiroto Kulh headed to them.
„You really are a little devil."
Hiroto Kulh whispered to Fuji, which stared at him and a wicked smile appeared.
„I'm by no means a demon, neither am I an angel, just a normal human with different standards."
Suddenly, the sky filled with raging clouds, following with wreaking havoc and the blasting sounds between the clouds echoed trough the forest.
„That doesn't look good!"
*Bang!*
The humongous cloud shone with a dazzling golden light and a golden thunder struck down, straight at Fuji.
*Boom!*
The golden thunder engulfed everything in the reach of 328 feet and the impact drilled into the earth.
*Thud*
Multiple stone blocks fell to the ground and echoed in the massive hole, created by the impact of the golden thunder.
...
„Welcome!"
Fuji's eyes opened and the recognizable white space stung his eye again.
~He's the Treasure Spirit~
„The experienced occurrences, you have witnessed, are the memories of a terrifying man. It's a old story from the past."
Fuji studied the anatomy of the Treasure Spirit and it's appearances is one of a typical ghost.
A transparent yellow man with long white hair and a long beard.
„However, you shocked me by not only bringing the woman with you, but you also did the exact same choices as that terrifying man."
The treasure spirit halted for a moment and continued, after detecting no facial changes.
„Anyways, for completion of the trial, you receive the choosing of an artifact. They vary with their powers and if you are lucky, you may be granted with a divine weapon."
