After that they left the empire they were in.
Some time later they stopped in the depths of a forest and began to cultivate in order to speed up the progress of their crops.
"Although for Asmodeus it was not necessary since his cultivation technique allowed him to devour the energies of the environment without having the need to cultivate."
But it was also important to purify the turbulent energies and digest Meta Stones and other kinds of mysterious items that could raise his cultivation in a faster way.
"While Asmodeus formed a dark whirlpool inside him absorbing the energy of the Meta Stones."
Issey and ikei were on the other side cultivating their own cultivation techniques.
"As Issey got up to stretch she noticed the commotion Asmodeus was making and that an overwhelming amount of dark energy covered almost the entire formation completely."
After a while Asmodeus got up from the ground and told issey that they would train 1vs1.
Issey felt bad right now as he didn't want to get beat up.
"Asmodeus didn't say anything and moved quickly as if Issey didn't dodge this attack it could seriously hurt him."
Issey now noticed Asmodeus appear in front of him like a ghost pointing his sword at his chest.
He quickly dodged back a few inches as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in fear that this attack could have finished him off.
"Asmodeus then walked over and started to say a bunch of insults to Issey, provoking how slow he was."
Asmodeus then said we will only use the sword and not techniques or movements.
"Since Asmodeus wanted to improve his sword skills since his sword possessed a soul, he wanted to be a Great Sword Master which is achieved when a certain user reaches the apex of swordsmanship."
After that Issey nodded.
Soon a smile appeared on Asmodeo's face that at first glance looked incredibly beautiful but you could tell how crazy and cold it was that it would make you freeze your bones.
Asmodeus then said well teach me everything you know as a swordsman.
"Although Issey was not a swordsman, he was also not an idiot who did not know how to handle the sword in attacks aimed at killing."
Asmodeus decided not to use his main sword as it might kill him if he wasn't careful since the sword only seeks the blood of the enemy and that wouldn't be good for practice.
"Issey then stood not far from Asmodeus and raised his sword and said here I come then he moved quickly."
Asmodeus smiled even though he wasn't using his real sword and was using an ordinary metal sword he could be considered a genius swordsman
After that Asmodeus and Issey started using their sword skills clashing with each other.
"Soon Asmodeus began to gain the upper hand but Issey couldn't be so easily defeated by his honor as a demon."
Soon there were scratches and wounds on Issey's body.
While Issey defended against Asmodeus' overwhelming attack, he searched for some way to be on the offensive but found none.
Ikei who was cultivating stood up to watch the two swordsmen battle.
"Asmodeus was impressed by issey since Asmodeus was a master swordsman and this guy was standing up to him."
Issey who was totally wounded everywhere was very angry since in the entire battle the only one with injuries was him while Asmodeus was unharmed.
Soon Issey without a care used his Demonic energy catching Asmodeus off guard.
"Although Asmodeus didn't expect that he was ready soon his sword collided with Issey's."
Asmodeus's sword snapped in 2 as Issey's sword edge ran into his stomach.
Asmodeus quickly vanished into the air, dodging the blow that destroyed a bunch of trees in its path.
Then Asmodeus spoke and said if I didn't move a few centimeters before you would have cut me.
"Issey was going to give explanations for their audacity to attack with Demonic energy while only using swords."
Soon Asmodeus appeared at Issey's side attacking with the sword and Issey moved to the side to dodge but didn't notice the bloody cut that appeared on his shoulder.
"Asmodeus noticed that he was staring at him and that made him feel very uncomfortable and he said stop looking at me with that face or I will kill you."
Ikei who was not far away waved his hands and said no master is that your appearance in battle is unbelievably amazing.
Asmodeus nodded then he didn't say anything as he knew his face would confuse most people with that of a girl he thought in his mind.
"Seconds later blood was coming out of issey's arm which was completely severed making a spurt of blood as issey screams in pain."
Soon Asmodeus appeared to Issey's right and kicked him hard to the ground creating destruction in the area.
Ikei who saw his friend's battle became completely anguished.
"Ikei rushed to help Issey but Asmodeus had noticed his movement and said I don't like them interfering in other people's fights."
He soon appeared as a ghost from behind ikei kicking his head against the rubble like an ant.
"Ikei tried to pull his sword out of the storage ring trying to stop and make excuses that Issey couldn't take it anymore."
Asmodeus stopped and said that's fine so far we'll leave it for now.
2 days later..
"Issey had already gotten his arm back again as the serious injuries healed."
Ikei was in better shape than Issey since the attacks against him weren't so heinous.
They started telling Asmodeus that they don't specialize in swords and that's why they lost easily.
"Asmodeus said we will leave this place, he just wanted us to be here to absolve and purify the energy and blood that I have absorbed these days so as not to damage the base of my cultivation."
They soon left the place without leaving a trace while Asmodeus thought what moves he would make since they have been through many kingdoms and some empires but he only got issey besides ikei as subordinates and that was completely disappointing.
