As a child, I never felt the need of being a warrior. Darknorians usually choose to become fighters but I never felt the urge to pursue that. But in order to respect my father (Yes, there aren't many good children left like me), I went to Adonis, my master.
Initially when I had gone to him, I was not interested in the weapons at all. But then we started making Magnum. And when the battle-axe was at last ready and I held it with both my hands, I felt complete. I didn't know that a weapon could make you feel so happy. Probably this feeling arose in me because Magnum isn't just a weapon. It is my companion, my partner, my guide. Adonis had also advised me not to underestimate his potential. He always felt that the battle-axe deserved more. Magnum and I have had a whole lot of experiences and teachings together.
But this day, when I held the battle-axe high up – my face clearly showing all the feelings which I now failed to hide – there was something different. I could see by the faces of the onlookers that something had changed. Was it me? Of course not! Then my closest guess had to be what I was holding. I was not holding the battle-axe which I could magically summon and which had the capacity of delivering blazing smashes. But now I held the battle-axe in its complete form, the true potential which Adonis had been hinting. Magnum had reached its final stage.
The double-sided axe was now even larger in size. The grip was now stronger and had extended in length, making the battle-axe look double the size before. So, now Magnum was almost reaching my chest length by its own. The blades on either side were sharper if they could even get anymore. The colors of red and gold were met with a strip of black going around the grip. And the main highlight – there was an aura of white around the whole battle-axe. So, it seemed as if I was holding a god weapon now. The aura never left. In fact, it engulfed my right-hand holding Magnum. I was not very fashionable but anyone could tell that Magnum had grown not only in strength but also in looks. The size of the battle-axe itself was enough to scare the foe.
"I need Xorain Blood!!" I roared after the whole process ended. The enemy soldiers resumed attacking the allies. The DELTAs did not attack. All of them were waiting to see what the new Magnum could do. A group of monsters pounced on me but even before they could touch me, I smashed the battle-axe on the ground heavily. It almost created a mini cyclone and everyone went flying. There were sparks coming out as well. Even the DELTAs had to hold their ground strong and not fall.
"You will pay for all this, King!" I whispered to myself. Though King Jalaar never used to be in the picture, it was he who allowed the bloodshed to happen. Due to Raptor, Lily was gone. Now Mark was martyred. I grabbed the battle-axe tight and marched forward. From a long time, we were trying to reach the King but obstructions were always present. This time I just didn't care. I climbed on Sounge and rode forward. Druk and Amanda joined me; I was leading the group. It didn't matter if the ravens tried to sweep in and bite me, or if the foes riding Vehemonts galloped towards me, or if the skeletons obstructed my path, or even if the giants were standing in front. One strike from Magnum and all died. I cut the legs of the giants with the battle-axe single-handedly. The ravens lost their wings. The skeleton parts flew in all directions. The riders fell down dead from the Vehemonts.
It took me ten minutes of slaughtering to finally reach where I wanted. I found Raptor in front of me. He showed off his ugly teeth and said, "Let's see if you have become stronger or not, Blaze Hunt!"
