A man covered head to toe in a black cloak entered into a cave which lies at the side of a enormous mountain. His left half of the body was injured severely and blood was all over the cloak. He kept walking into the deep part of the cave while dragging the left leg which left the blood stained tiral on the floor.
"
Boom.
The wall then quivered and went into the floor to open a path.
He entered in there and the wall closed behind him.
There was a enormous room in there. The floor was covered in a red majestic carpet and no light except some candle fire on the table were on in the room . At the enormous rectangular shaped dining table about five meters length, three human shaped figures were having a meal. Their faces could not be seen clearly because of the dim light. Only the blood red wine glasses and meats on the golden plates were sparkling because of the light from the candles on the table. The room was filled with their laughters and voices. They stopped their chats and meal as they saw a man coming toward them.
Then the cloaked guy lifted his hood and revealed his face which is thin and sharp. Because of the hair loss, there is not a single string of hair on top of the head but there are silver hairs on the sides. Half of his face was destroyed and injured seriously that bloods were gushing out and the eye socket was empty.
"Ardi!?" They were surprised by his appearance.
"I failed, my other half was destroyed by Galen" Ardi replied.
"What happened to the Lord's item?" A woman's voice.
Maybe Galen's grandson have it but I will search and kill him myself. I have no need to tell them.
"I could not find it" Ardi answered.
"I warned you,didn't I that you would get killed if you sent only your half, hahahaha" the guy on the right side of the table said mockingly.
"Leo, stop!" the woman shouted irritately.
Leo glared at the woman.
"What happen if I don't? Are you gonna kill me, Akuji?" Leo replied while smirking.
"Yes, I will" Akuji replied furiously.
"Haha, try it if you can" Leo said and stood up.
Now that they are standing up, their appearances could be seen from the candle light.
Leo Azazel has an enormous body like a giant. He was 2.2 meters tall in human form and the big and strong muscles were sticking out of the large body. His hands are also enormous that he can't even hold the fork and the knife for the meal in the hands like an ordinary person. So he was holding them between his thumb and index finger by gently pressing them so that he wouldn't break them. His golden hairs were long and fluffy which lies on the head like a lion fur. The golden and thick eyebrows were moving up and down as he smiled brightly. In a red formal ordinary suit with the sleeves rolling up, the hands which could be seen are filled with scars got from swords and many different kinds of weapons and sunburnt skin with firing eyes represents how much expriences he has in fighting.
On the other hand, Akuji Adalet is an appealing lady with a purple long hairs which were falling on the back. The wide scarlet eyes which give off the seducing looks and the rose red lips which is slightly wet made her plae beautiful face more alluring for anyone who sees her. The black plain long dress with the dark flower patterns tailored on the see-through sheer fabric on her chest areas made her charms stone more. Her beautiful form of sitting which made her seductive hip and chest stood out more.
"You dare" Akuji stood up too.
"Stop it, now is not the time for this" the guy at the top of the table stopped them while cutting a meat on the plate.
His face was still covered by the shadow. The voice he was giving off is intimidating and makes the listeners want to listen to him. The way he talks and his timing of breathing were supporting the attractiveness of the voice. From the voice alone, he seemed kind, merciful at the same time cruel and cunning.
The slim fingers which was full off sparkling rings were moving gently and elegantly as he prepared to eat.
"Galen was the weakest of all the Judges but he was a sly man. You shouldn't have let your guard down" he continued.
"Then did you figure out what kind of item it is?" Akuji asked while sitting down reluntantly.
"I heard Galen saying it was a scythe"
"A scythe"
"Leo, investigate the whole forest and find anything that looks like a scythe".
"Okay" Leo said excitedly.
"Ardi, it seems you will have to wait to recover until we resurrect the Lord"
Ardi nodded.
"Lucas Leonidas, as always, acting high and mighty just because he is the captain of the judges. I will get a hold of the lord's item myself and bring him back. Lord will praise me for that and that is when I will finally surpass you".
But his mind was filled with those kinds of thoughts.
Resurrecting Hades will not repair the Underworld automitically. But, it will allow the demons and undeads who are the residents of the under realm to assume their true forms which are much more powerful and terrifying than the human form.
"But, to do that, we will need the energy from hell and Leo, I will leave it to you".
"Hahaha, leave it to me"
Leo punched his other hand's plam with excitement.
------------------------------------------
"What, Galen didn't teach you anything about combat?"
Damini asked loudly with a surprised look.
"Yes, he only taught me about magic and items".
"But, your magic also sucks" Damini said in a nonchalant face.
Noah looked at Damini with a sour smile.
"Let's start by learning the basics of magic".
There are four elemental magic and magicians got the attribute they are compatible with ever since they were born.
"Yes, I already know.. agh"
Damini hit Noah's head without letting him finish what he was saying.
"Listen till the end"
However, by analyzing all these elements, there is an even more basic element residing in there. It is a simple force called
But using the opposite attribute of the original attribute which people got from birth would be difficult. The other two attributes could be used by doing a certain degree of training of attraction but to use the opposite element, a unbelievably tremendous amount of training is needed.
Attraction is not the destructive element which is mainly used in battles. Being able to use attraction for a little bit can make the ability to use elemental attribute stronger.
But Noah was almost strangled to death while getting hanged mid air by that force. That just confirmed just how strong the enemy was.
"Magic is all about imagination, so you need to practise to control your mind".
"How?"
"By meditating of course"
Noah had to meditate every morning. By meditating, he started to realize the patterns and common things in the basic elements.
After meditating, he had to go out to hunt for food. Damini likes small and cute creatures so Noah had no choice but to search for big monsters.
That was the first time Noah had killed a monster which was not hostile to him. He kinda felt bad at first but got used to it as the time went by.
The hellish training of the day began after breakfast.
Damini taught Noah how to fight with swords, spear, shield and different kind of weapons. Facing Damini as a sparring partner was the worst nightmare for Noah because she really did not go easy against him. Everyday, Noah had injuries on his whole body and bumps on the forehead. "It is not training if it is not painful" Damini's words.
She is a impressive teacher despite the way she looks.
"A strong magician is the one who uses his magic effectively and efficiently".
Damini said in magic training.
"Your magic spells are not bad but it does not suit your style. So it is not efficient" she continued.
"So, think about it and change the way you use your magic".
"If you become a multi attribute magician who can use two or more elements, then we can start learning about compound elements."
Compound elements are the magic produced by combining two or more elements. Poison, Lightning, Gravity, Curses, all these magic are compound magic. Compound magics can be only used by a body which is resistant and compatible to them otherwise it can cost their lives. The users have to research and find out which compound magics is suitable for their body which takes a lot of time. So, combining the originl attribute with other element is the easiest way to find a suitable magic for the body.
In the evening, Noah had to read for about three hour before going to bed.
"You need to learn about the people and society, reading books are the best way to learn about those things. A strong body without intelligence is just a brainless zombie" she said.
So, Noah spent his time in the study where Damini had collected thousands of books in.
"That is impressive. I wonder how she got all these books and not to mention, a library room in the cave"
Noah thought while looking at the enormous bookshelfs in the room.
Damini had been training Noah in both physically and mentally.
