"well that's a very bad habit to have when it comes to using abilities. you see your mind and body should be aligned together. you holding your breath is stopping your natural body response to life which puts your body through stress.
"Try it again."
Damon decided to ignore the fact sir hughes just appeared without a sound and so fast. He instead focused on sir hughes tips.
He closed his eyes focusing on the storm cloud. and the same actions occurred.
upon seeing Damon's power up close sir hughes was truly amazed but kept a stone face. "I've never seen such an ability. what are you Damon." he thought to himself.
once again Damon failed and was gasping for air. "once you get to a point you think is difficult you start holding your breath trying to force it out. you must let it flow with your breathing. I will write down a few breathing techniques I've learned over the years and I want you to practice them diligently." he said to Damon as he stood up catching his breath.
"shall we proceed to this hidden city. yes and thank you sir hughes.
They talked a bit more about the mongrels along the way and the discovery of the city. Once Again Damon had twisted the story to how him and jolly found such a place.
"this is it sir Hughes. place your hand on my shoulder or you will not be able to enter.
Damon placed his hand on the same tree they had come out of before and immediately phased through it with sir hughes with him.
Back in village city Jolly accompanied miss grey to an empty building that had four people stationed at the front and back. upon entering they walked down two flights of stairs entering into a spacious room with multiple small cells. inside one cell trapped in a transparent dome was the orc jolly had captured.
the cells are designed to hold criminals and bandits. every awakened soul doesn't follow the laws of the land. the cells were created specifically to hold awakened souls using very strong enchanted steel only very powerful people would be able to break out even with a soul beast. but not knowing much about the orc miss grey casted a dome cage to be on the safe side even though jolly told her it wasn't necessary.
"ready to talk now or what. Jolly said as miss grey deactivated her dome cage.
the orc looked at jolly in rage upon seeing the one who captured him so easily. "it doesn't matter what you do you all will die by the hands of mother."
"who is mother and what makes you so sure about us dying. miss grey responded. the orc began to laugh "you either serve mother or die and I already can tell how foolish you people are so I'm sure you will choose death."
miss grey was already fully aware how and why they came to planet syair and so did jolly but she didn't know jolly knew already.
"so this mother, when do you expect her to come. " the orc said nothing and just gave them a cold stare.
"are you choosing to do this the hard way again." miss gray asked
the orc released sigh as he complied.
"wait you've already been here questioning him you said we were going to do it together. calm down jolly I didn't question him, it was more like showing him not to test my patience."
Jolly now understood why the orc was being compliant.
"I don't know but she will come I can promise you that. " and what is her will.
"to become the mother of all beings while her children rule under her." well we are going to see about that. let's go jolly that's enough for now.
Later on sir Hughes and Damon could be seen walking out of beast free forest. "Mr. blade I know you don't perceive me as a fool and I want you to know I don't care."
Damon had completely stopped walking with confusion on his face as he looked at sir hughes.
"I don't care how you truly got your hands on a city like that. I don't care that you and your soul beast have different abilities. I don't care how strong you have become literally over night. I don't care about your secrets but what I do care about is the person you are becoming."
"I understand the need for revenge, but let me tell you this. every person has a dark and light element inside them representing good and evil. depending on your line of thinking will determine which side is actually good and which is evil. most people pick a side for their own reasons but I have chosen to pick both. "
"Being too good in this world can get you and the ones dear to you killed just like being evil can. so my question to you is why would I decide to choose both sides."
" Don't think about it just yet give it plenty of time and once you have your answer tell me and by the way I believe that city will be the trump card to help us for what is to come. thank you for your generosity Mr. blade. with those words sir hughes vanished into thin air like he was never there.
Damon was left speechless his mind was trying to process everything sir hughes just had spoken to him. he continued to walk while contemplating on everything. "how did he know about Javaline and my ability being different and this choice between light and dark representing good and evil.
"sir hughes is a very cunning individual I'm surprised you thought you could lie to him."
shield responded.
"there's also something off about him as well. not in a bad way persay but it's definitely something or a few things he's hiding as well which leads me to believe he understands your decision to lie."
"if I was in my original body I could find out in seconds. shield added.
Damon decided to just put it behind him and focus on everything else. one thing he felt good about was knowing that sir hughes didn't care about his secrets and that made him believe he could trust him more.
Damon decided to practice creating the baseball size of electricity as he walked. in total he had successfully created it with a certain percentage over 400 times now. since last night every chance he would get he would generate it quickly in his hand and disperse it just as fast and sometimes faster making it look like a light flickering on and off. "six hundred more to go before it turns into an automated attack."
upon reaching the city Damon had successfully created the attack he was working on 200 more times leaving him to do it 400 more times before the system turned it into an automated attack. while practicing he noticed his control over his ki had gotten better slightly. it wasn't much but he felt glad about the system not just easily giving him the upper hand when it came to training his ability.
He entered the house where jolly and the others were before he left finding it to be empty. Damon then decided he would sit down and finally choose his reward for beating jolly at killing the enemies.
"now let's seeeeeeeee. two choices." blood dagger or soul dagger.
{blood dagger: an enchanted weapon with the power to combat all healing abilities and accelerate blood loss depending on the severity of the wound made by the dagger. the more blood is lost because of the dagger the stronger it effects become.}
{Soul dagger: an enchanted weapon with the power to hold souls. everytime this dagger takes a life the soul of that person or thing becomes absorbed by the dagger. Once the dagger is filled with enough souls it can be used in two ways.
1. the souls absorbed can be used by the user to strengthen their soul core.
2. the souls absorbed can be harnessed into raw power that lasts twenty seconds.
Damon read the weapons powers a few times more and decided to go with the soul dagger. the thought of it helping him increase his soul core strength was too tempting for him to pass up.
once selected a vibration was felt as a white light engulfed his hand and within seconds he was holding an eight inch double bladed dagger. one side was rigged while the other side was smooth and sharp. there was a long engraved line from the bottom of the blade to the very top. the entire handle was crystalized stone that was solid white in areas and clear in others. blue lightly lit up letters could be seen on the handle in a different language.
Damon used over see as he read the text.
" The soul is true power."
Damon smiled and rubbed his fingers all around the eight inch dagger while thinking about how useful it could be.
"I took that dagger myself. I just merged it within the system. it use to belong to a very powerful enemy of mine before I killed her. " shield spoke.
"killed her, so this used to belong to a girl. no not a girl a fierce woman that had unlimited potential. she was one of my favorites to fight and toy with whenever I visited this planet. "
"So you just killed for fun or something. yes at one point in my time I did." that was a very long time ago when I was very young. " shield responded.
"so eventually you made planet syair your home right. that's information you will not get until you evolve. well if you do it before my departure."
Damon suddenly remembered the quest he recived back in obsidian city. to evolve for more knowledge about Shield before he left.
"wait how would I know if I'm close to evolving the system doesn't give any information on it, not even a level. the same way a beast knows it's close to achieving a higher level. you will feel it within you just sted fast."
Damon then closed his eyes and began working on his automatic attack once again. he was determined to complete the remaining four hundred before nightfall.
After a while passed jolly and the others entered the house and could see Damon had his legs crossed sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. his eyes were closed and his mouth was wide open as drool could be seen on his chin. they all snickered and laughed lightly at the sight. "should we wake him." asked steel. no let him rest he has another hour left before everyone has to meet in front of the bunker. " jolly answered back.
around forty minutes later Damon had woken up immediately cleaning the slob from his face.
"well looks who decided to join the living jolly says jokingly. yea you're right cause he was dead to the world steel adds."
"I must have been more tired than I thought, I don't remember falling asleep at all. you're good we are just messing with ya, heck all of us went to sleep for a while right after you left earlier.
"so what I miss while I was away and sleeping. nothing much,but we are about to head to the bunker. sir hughes has called a meeting at 5pm we have eight minutes to get there so let's get a move on I say. " jolly responded.
While they all gathered and began walking out Damon had received a notification.
Ding!
[you have successfully created an automated attack. attack will be fully automated once a name for the attack is chosen.]
"hmmmmm a name Damon says with a smile exiting the house.
