I took the Heavenly Saint off to the side. I began to teach him the basic Spear Art: Thrust.
I knew the Creator and the Demon King of Will were behind us watching. I did not have any care in the world.
I slowly began to show the thrusting move. Within minutes, the Heavenly Saint had gotten the thrust part of it down. Then, we began to involve Qi into the equation. Although the Heavenly Saint did not have much Qi. He was still effectively able to do this exercise for a few hours.
While the training was going on
"I have a question, Demon King." The Creator said.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Who was the first Demon King?"
"I do not know and cannot Will it into my mind. You know the regulations about the Will." The Demon King of Will answered.
"I know part of them, not all of them." The Creator retorted.
"First, my Will or body has to be out to know everything and give a Will to something. Second, only the powers equal to me or weaker will be affected. I can affect the Laws to a certain degree as long as my Will is strong enough. Lastly, if I truly affect the Realms in a dangerous way. I will be affected by the Dark Abyss."
The Creator knew about the first two rules regarding the way the Demon King of Will's Will worked, but he did not know about the last one.
"How would you be affected by the Dark Abyss when I cannot be?" The Creator questioned.
"That is the way the Laws were set down." The Demon King of Will answered.
The duo just sat there and watched as Rex and the Heavenly Saint trained. It was not long until a different scene was unfolding before the duo.
Rex was still a Demon King of Desire. That is how the Demon King of Will made it. They slowly began to see the three tails coming out of Rex.
This was nothing new. Rex already had three tails as a Demon King of Desire. What surprised them is the fact that three horns were being seen by them.
They were oblivious to the fact that three horns were growing on Rex. It was not until they decided to confirm if the Heavenly Saint was ready for battle or not that they paid more attention to that.
"A triple horned and triple tailed Demon King of Annihilation. Why did Rex get that upgrade?" The Demon King of Will willed.
"He unlocked the Demon, and the Demon's Soul locked inside the two axes he originally had. When the axes merged with the axe, the Heavenly Saint had. This allowed Rex to complete the Demon King of Annihilation's return." The will spoke back.
Back to Rex's pov
It was now getting late, and the Heavenly Saint was preparing for the final attempt. He focused his Qi on the spear and did the thrust.
"Ding"
I checked the notification.
"You have taught the Heavenly Saint how to use the Spear Art: Thrust."
"Reward: The full control of the Demon King of Annihilation."
"You have a hidden notification as well. Does the host wish to check it?"
[Yes] [No]
I clicked on Yes.
"Training the Demon King of Annihilation."
"Use a technique while in the Demon King of Annihilation form to receive blessings from the Demon King of Annihilation."
"You will have control over the Demon King of Annihilation, but you will not be able to control the techniques used by him."
I read the notifications and decided it was worth a shot to see what would happen.
I got the spear from the Heavenly Saint. I refocused my Qi on the tip of the spear. I did a thrust just to see how strong the Demon King of Annihilation was.
Before our eyes was once a lush field, now it was barren. I did not have to know that this Demon King form was truly the embodiment of annihilation.
I nearly fell backwards and landed on my butt. If the Heavenly Saint had not already fallen and had the look of fear in his eyes.
"I have to try and control this much annihilation." I spoke.
The Demon King of Will came over to me. He placed his hand on my forehead. He began to show ways of how people have controlled their Demon King forms.
What I saw was nothing like what the Demon King of Annihilation was. There was still good studying going on.
It was not long before the night descended. We rested, well they rested. I could not sleep. I took the opportunity to go out and try to control at least a little of what my new form could do.
I trained for a little while, just swinging a sword the Heavenly Saint left out. I was not using any Qi. I felt that the better way to train this form was to get to know the upper limits of strength.
I started to pump all of my Demonic Qi into my Strength Stat. I was even able to go into the Demon King of Desire form at will now. Although I had not been able to reclaim the Demon King of Will form. I could tell that pumping my Demonic Qi into the Strength Stat was drastically increasing all of my Demon King's abilities.
Next, I pumped my Mortal Qi into the Strength Stat. The Demon King of Annihilation took it and made all of my veins thicker and let more course through them. I felt weak, but I still needed to pump my Heavenly Qi into him.
I went to pump my Heavenly Qi into it. I felt that it had blocked the Qi from entering it. I took it as I needed to finally rest. I started to barely walk my way back to my tent. When I finally entered.
I felt tired enough and went and fell asleep. When I did, I had the strangest dream.
