Adam walks towards the rift, as it is his turn.
He steps in as the professor says his name.
Before his eyes, the scenery changes from the vault room to a mid-80s East European blacksmith workshop.
Adam looks around.
"Hello there"
"Hey!" replied Adam.
"You're the second one that did not get startled when we said hello."
"Okay, but where are you?" as Adam can't see anyone nearby.
"You should look down."
Adam looks down and sees five dwarves surrounding him.
"Hello, I am Adam."
"Hello, we are the Ronk brothers and the five sons of Ronks." "I am the eldest of my brothers, Adele and Ronk."
"I am Belle Ronk, the second-eldest brother."
"I am Darnell Ronk, the third eldest of my brothers."
"I am Danielle Ronk, the fourth of my brothers."
"I am Giselle Ronk, the youngest of my brothers."
"Why did you not get startled, but you also replied as if it was not out of the ordinary for you?" asked the youngest of them. Giselle asked Adam out of curiosity.
"Don't mind him; he is always curious about others."
"No problem; I just have experience with that all."
Adam remembers his time when he goes into the hall of the past.
"Now let's leave everything behind and talk about your weapons." Adele talked
"Yeah, I totally forgot about why I was here. Sorry."
Adam said he was embarrassed.
"Please extend your hand to Belle; he will see your future, let us know which weapon suits you the most, and get on with making it for you."
"Future, you guy can see the future," Adam asked.
"Yeah, he can see the future, but not the true future."
"There is only possibility, and in that possibility, Belle only focuses on one," Darnell said as he brought a chair for Adam to sit in.
"One possibility"
"Yes, there is one possibility where we don't give you a weapon; he will see your fights, your victory, your struggle, your failure, your enemies, your downfall, and what you used when facing them all." "After seeing it, we will make a weapon that suits you, a weapon that you can call an extension of your body," Adele said as he nodded at Belle.
Belle nodded back as he asked Adam to put his hand on top of Belle's hand.
Everyone moves back one step as a gray circle forms underneath Belle.
.....
.....
....
...
.

"Hey Belle, are you okay?" Adele asked as he saw Belle sweating.
"Is it not supposed to happen?" Adam asked as he saw Adele calling out Belle.
"No, it should not take this much time." "Darnell, Danielle, and Giselle, start spreading your mana towards them."
Everyone surrounded Adam and Belle without asking any questions and started spreading their mana, covering both of them in a ball of mana.
Adam, seeing it, had no clue what was happening.
But as he looked at Belle, whose face was as pale as a white sheet of paper,
Adam knew something had gone wrong.
"Brat releases your mana towards Belle so that he does not fall into a coma from mana exhaustion."
Upon hearing it, Adam releases all his mana towards Belle.
...
...
...
...
Belle opens up his eye and removes his hand.
Seeing it, everyone stops releasing their mana.
and moves towards him, but before anyone could do anything, Belle falls on her knees.
Adam immediately shoulders him, so he does not fall.
Belle looks at Adam's face with bloodlust.
Adam flinches at seeing Belle's face, which has a strange and mysterious seriousness.
Seeing it
Adele walks towards Belle, giving him support.
"Brat, sit here and don't go looking around."
Adele warns Adam as he moves towards a room, with Belle calling out others except Adam, and shuts the door.
Adam looks at his arms, which are shaking.
as it was his first time being looked at with bloodlust.
"What the fuck was that?" "I felt like if I moved an inch, I would have died."
Adam looks toward the door where the five brothers walked in.
Inside the room
"Belle, you lost control over your bloodlust," Adele said as he started spreading his mana, which activated something that started pouring down white particles.
As it falls, Belle's pale face regains its normal color.
It looked like it was healing Belle and restoring her mana.
"Brother, you know that we fought together on many battlefields to the point that even our bloodlust can kill someone without taking a second," Darnell said.
"What happened, brother?" "Why did you release your killing intent?" Danielle asked
Adele looks at Belle and sighs.
"Belle, you saw him become someone who did something, or should I say was going to do something?"
"No," Belle replies with a weak voice.
Hearing it, Adele sighs.
"Belle I know your sense of justice is far stronger than any one of us. But you should not try to kill someone just because you see his future. "No one possibility of his future is the true one."
"No, no, I did not want to kill him." "I just... I just." breaks as he tries to find a word.
"Just what?" Danielle asked in an angry voice.
"Let him say," Darnell said.
"Brother, do you know what humans do to the weapons of people who die protecting their land from a demon?" Belle asked.
"They put it on their grave to give respect to the fallen," Giselle said with a sad voice.
"What importance does that have here?" Danielle said.
"Danielle, just let him speak," Darnell said with an annoyed voice.
"Do you know what I say in his future?"
"Fuck no, we don't have the power to see the future like you...
Darnell beats Danielle's head with a heavy punch.
"If you speak even a word again, I will put you on cleaning duty for the next 30 years." Darnell warns Danielle.
Danielle nodded as he closed his mouth with both hands.
"Belle, continue," Adele said as she sighed.
"At first I thought he fought with his bare hand, as I saw him fighting barehanded almost every fight and thought of stopping before the timer hit, but before I could stop, I saw him stand before a grave." "With a violet sword on it and many more weapons we made,
"Violet sword," Adele said.
Adele and everyone else fall silent.
Seconds later, everyone looks at Belle with shock in their faces.
"Did he..."
"Yes," Belle said as she sighed.
"But did you not say that that kid had a bright future even without us giving him a weapon?"
"Yes, but how could he die?" Danielle said.
Everyone looked at Danielle as he understood that he had messed up.
"No, no, Darnell, please no." Danielle begged Darnell
..
..
...
"Did the human standing outside kill him?" "Then does that mean he is a bad human?" Giselle asked Belle.
"No"
Before Belle could answer, Adele said
"Why brother"
"If he had killed him, he would also be hunted and killed by them, and if a man dies by the hand of a human, they will not put his weapon on his tombstone but inside it to show that he will not be betrayed again and never trust anyone in his second life." "But his was on top of his grave, which meant he died by the hand of a demon—not only him but others too."
"...." Giselle did not reply after hearing it.
Giselle hated demons to the core, as they were the ones that killed her real parents.
Yes, Giselle was not Ronk's fifth son.
Ronk did not have a fifth son; he only had four sons.
Giselle was the only survivor of a big city that was slaughtered by a demon.
He was adopted by the Ronk brothers as they were sent to finish off the demon that massacred
Giselle city
The Ronk brothers are immersed in guilt for not being able to save the city.
The four brothers adopted Giselle after their five brothers started teaching him blacksmithing.
Seeing everyone immersed in sadness
Giselle said
"Brothers, do not be sad; it was not your fault; it was because that demon attacked us out of nowhere."
"And also, the first thing he destroyed was the communication system."
Seeing no change in every person's face
Giselle asked
"Brother, you did not finish what he was doing there at the grave."
"Yes, he was standing before the grave of that boy with a face that showed regret and uneasiness."
#ADAM'S WEAPONLESS FUTURE
Adam was standing before the Vikram tomb with a face that showed regret and uneasiness.
Adam looked around and saw the weapons that all his classmates had put on their graves to show that they fought and died at the hands of a demon.
Adam felt guilty for not being able to save even one of his classmates.
as tears run down his face.
"Oo, you're sobbing that you can't meet them; there's no need to cry because you will meet them soon as I am here."
Adam looks toward the direction of the voice.
He saw a humanoid being with one horn on his left forehead and four eyes with yellow sclera and red pupils.
As he saw him, Adam was consumed by anger as his face distorted with anger, but only a second later, his face changed. It became emotionless.
His eyes lost their glow and were replaced by eyes of indifference.
He looked at him like he was nothing more than a waste that was lying around.
"Those eyes... those eyes." I hate those eyes of yours that looked at me like I was nothing more than a stone on the road. "I really want to pull those eyes from your face and destroy them."
Adam looks at him, not minding the provocative
But he suddenly disappears and reappears before the demon with a punch aimed at his face.
But before it could hit the demon's face, Adam sensed a threat from his left side.
He dodges the attack easily, but Adam is shocked to see a blade in that demon's hands.
That instantly changed back to the emotionless face.
"Did you not see that coming?" the demon said as he pointed the blade at Adam.
"You broke it, your curse," Adam said with a calm voice.
"Ha ha ha ha ha," the demon started to laugh as he announced.
"Yes, Azazel, the Demon of Despair, broke my curse."
#AT PRESENT
"WHAT THE FUCK? "That bastard broke his curse?"
Darnell said in an angry voice
Hearing it, everyone except Giselle subconsciously releases their killing intent.
Giselle started to feel uncomfortable under their bloodlust.
Even if Giselle had his fair share of life and death, his bloodlust and killing intent were not as strong as those of his older brothers, who fought countless life-and-death battles through many galaxies.
"Brother, who is a demon of despair,"
"The bastard that destroyed your...a
