*** Baek
The forgotten don't have their own physical forms. So they have to possess something. Actually that's the wrong word they assimilate with their target. If they aren't stronger than their target then the forgotten is completely erased and the target absorbs them and their power. The forgotten don't get weaker after assimilating with a new body. All of them keep their original strength. Which means currently the 4 horsemen are all stronger than me.
War is the leader of all of them. He's big and bulky and has a greatsword on his back.He has bright red hair as well. It's almost annoying to my eyes how bright it is.
To the left of him is death. He has short black hair and a similar build to mine. He carries two small scythes at his hip. War is definitely stronger than the other 3 but for some reason death feels more dangerous.
To the right of War is Breaker. She has the same long red hair as War. Are they siblings? She doesn't have a weapon on her. I could already tell she was a hand to hand combat specialist though. She's beautiful though. I should make sure to never say that out loud around War.
Behind all 3 of them is Bullet. Of course he has multiple guns and bombs on him. He has a hat on but some of his hair comes out from it. Where did he get that cigarette from?
" What are your orders sir?" War asks.
" I have none. You guys are free now. You have your own bodies and are no longer powered by my mana." I say to them.
"Actually that's not true. We are still capable of going back to our shadow forms. It's just now we have living forms. Besides that though we all agreed that you are our king and that we'll serve you." War says to me.
"Okay I understand. Well I need you guys to go back to earth before me. Find where Buddha is keeping Wukong trapped. Death, I need you to stay here with me." The other 3 nod in agreement then take off. Their presence disappeared instantly. I can still feel them though because they are a part of me.
" What is it that you need me for?" Death asks.
" I want you to teach me how to use a scythe. I've recently acquired one and I need to know the best ways to use it." I say while showing him my scythe.
" Woah this is a reaper scythe. It's been a while since I've seen one of these." Death says.
" You've seen a reaper before?" I ask.
"Yup I almost killed him. He was strong though. He wore the same all white outfit you have on." Death says.
"Using a scythe is simple though. The best way for you to learn is to fight against someone using one." Death says while grabbing his weapons.
How can two small scythes pack so much power? I've been fighting against death for about 2 hours. He keeps knocking my scythe out of my hand. The attacks come at a weird curve as well.
"You have to follow the wind, Baek." Death says. Yeah yeah follow the wind. So instead of forcing my scythe to go one way. I should just follow the way it wants to go.
"Good job you're finally listening to it. Don't think of your scythe as just a weapon. Don't think of any of your weapons as just a weapon. Think of them as a part of you. You have to care for them the same way you would your own body. " Death says.
"Ahh so is it like this?" I say while finally knocking his weapon out his hand.
" Yeah like that." he says with a weird expression.
" What is it?" I ask.
"You know I've fought against people who can copy others moves by just seeing. That isn't anything new or special any master could do. You're different though it's like you already have the move mastered. You just do it with a slight difference from everyone else. " Death says.
"I just repeat the move over and over in my head. Until it's mastered. Then I do it at my own tempo so it can't be copied by someone else without them messing up their own tempo. " I explain.
"Makes sense. So is there anything else you need me to do or should I go back with the rest of the team?" Death asks.
"I need you to find a frost giant. They are from the Norse realm so be careful. His name is Jokul frost." I say.
"Okay I'll get right on that." Death then disappears in the darkness. I go to where Lucifer is since. I haven't seen him since I went in the time chains for the first time.
" Have you fully finished your training NoTe?" Lucifer asks.
" Yeah I'm done with everything. I'm ready to go back to earth. Also I go by Baek now." I answer.
"I like that name. However, don't you have one more thing to do before you leave." Lucifer says while pointing to a person. I look at the man who is currently being impaled by multiple hands. I recognize him easily. It's Joker. I haven't seen him in years.
" Is he dead?" I ask.
"No but he'll die in around 5 minutes. His body is finally going to be done rotting. " Lucifer says.
" Why was he dying in the first place?" I ask.
"He used to be the student of the mana god. However after those twins found out how sadistic he is they attacked him. His body never fully healed from the wound." Lucifer answers.
" Woah he trained with the mana god and their twins?" I am confused.
"Yeah they are twins named Kaia and Laia. Technically they are just one half of the mana god. They are very dangerous though and any mana in their domain is under their control. Including our negative mana. So don't go against them recklessly." Lucifer says
" Okay I'll avoid them. I want Joker though let me decide what to do with him." I say.
" Okay he's yours." Lucifer says while removing the hands from Joker's body.
I take Joker into my shadow and tell the forgotten to show themselves. " Everyone, this man is Joker. He is the one who killed me. Now I'm giving him a chance to live. I'm also giving anyone here a chance to have a new and improved body. Now remember he killed me before so he isn't weak. So if anyone wants the chance for a new body. Try possessing him right now."
