The God Of Swordsmanship summoned a sword to his hand and put it in front of him to block the impact. Kagutsuchi's eyes narrowed upon identifying the sword. The human's dash forward was blocked by the sword. He retracted his sword and then slashed down. The slash was not blocked this time due to the God Of Swordsmanship checking his sword instead of focusing on the battle. The human thought it was odd, but he didn't ponder it any longer. He moved the sword upwards in the cut until where the God Of Swordsmanship's heart should have been, but where the human now knew his origin was.
'Stop!' Kagutsuchi screamed. The human's brows furrowed.
'Haha. Haha! HAHAHA! WHAT'S WRONG, DEMON KING? FEARFUL OF MY STRENGTH?' The God Of Swordsmanship screamed madly.
'Not your strength. But your weakness.'
'...' The God Of Swordsmanship looked dumbfounded
'You are so weak that I don't even think we have to waste time on you. I'd rather kill you in a second flat and move on.'
The God Of Swordsmanship was lost for words.
'Degeruzo.' He said to himself. He lifted his sword above his head. And then, the Human finally retracted his sword from his origin. It was as if the God Of Swordsmanship's movement had caused him to. And then, the God Of Swordsmanship put his own sword inside his own origin.
'I call forth the power of the Curses!'
17,000 YEARS AGO
'The Curses have been wiped out. We can finally have peace.' The God Of Swords stated.
'Yes, but... what if they resurface?' The Divine Lord countered.
'...' The God Of Swords kept quiet at that counter.
'Besides, the consumption of another's origin results in one's original origin growing in strength tenfold. There's no sense behind it, but it's been proven.'
'Ren Geis.' The God Of Swords answered after a while of silence. 'We can use his power to keep it from happening again. We can enchant the whole realm, and if they resurface, the enchantments will destroy them. We will use Ren Geis's power to do this.'
'But... An enchantment. They don't last forever. It will last 15,000 years. maybe less. And if Ren Geis is dead by then, we won't be able to reinstate it.'
'Do you see any other solution?'
It was then that the Divine Lord, the supreme leader of the World Of Deities was silenced by his right-hand-man.
The God Of Swordsmanship had always been fascinated by Curses. Their reasoning behind starting the war, their insane power.
So much that he became one himsef. He entered the God Of Peace's house one day, and found him dead and a Curse next to him.
[Sidenote: This was after Ren Geis's death so Curses are around again but not as much as in the war.]
The Curse instantly lunged at the God Of Swordsmanship. The God Of Swordsmanship summoned a sword using a Divine Magic circle and easily killed the Curse. He was an exceptionally strong god in his youth. But he lost that once he consumed the Curse's origin. The remaining Curses in the world treated him as their god, for his strength as a Curse was unparalleled. Since he was a strong god, he infused Divine Magic into himself to return to a god form and took the Divine Magic out of his body to return to Curse form. There was truly nothing like him.
CURRENT DAY
The God Of Swordsmanship went into his Curse form. His aura expanded greatly. Kagutsuchi knew from the start that his sword was a sword made out of Curses. He must have killed Curses and fused their origins to create an origin for the sword and now he was moving the origin into his own body, and in turn, becoming a Curse with no way to go back to being a God.
His power was growing far beyond Kagutuschi's expectations. This was the truth of the World Of Deities. Nothing was what it seemed.
[Note: I'm ending Volume 1 here. I know we're in the middle of an arc but I wanted to end it here due to my own personal tastes. I feel like it's a suitable time, and while this may not make sense to you guys, it all fits together perfectly in my head. Also, can you all please review this novel? I would really appreciate it and if you guys review it, you can ask me a few questions about the future of the novel and other stuff and I'll answer all of your questions. I won't be spoiling too much though. Thanks for reading my novel!]
