Armaros observed the scabbard as he tried to come up with a plan, but the scabbard had different ideas since it launched its demonic energy towards him forcing him to jump to the right and dodge the attack as the wall was cracked by the attack as he looked at the sheath.
"What in the world even is that thing?" Armaros said out loud as he shot a Holy Light sphere at it.
The sphere collided with the scabbard, or rather he thought it did, only for a veil of demonic energy appeared and stopped the sphere as it protected the scabbard from his attack as he grit his teeth.
He then jumped as a tendril of demonic energy attacked him as he narrowly dodged it as he landed on the floor and dashed towards the scabbard as he felt bloodlust from it as his eyes widened as he felt it.
'What the fuck. I've never felt something like this before.' Armaros thought as he felt the immense bloodlust from the scabbard.
More tendrils made up of demonic energy appeared from the scabbard as they all attacked him as he summoned his Mana and coated his blade with Holy Light, though it did cause him pain, he endured it as he knew that he wouldn't be able to survive if he didn't.
And when the tendrils reached him he grit his teeth and summoned his strength and executed ten perfect slashes in front of him, slicing up the tendrils with the Holy Light being very effective against it as he shot towards the scabbard.
While he didn't have the ability to use the same amount of Mana as his sister's, he had far greater skill with the sword in comparison to them since he focused only on skill, which was helping him at the moment as he knew that he might die from this fight.
He sliced up the tendrils as he weaved through the attack as he also enhanced himself with Mana as he neared the scabbard as he got ready to attack.
But the scabbard did a surprise attack in the form of a beam of demonic energy from the crystal on it as his eyes widened in shock at that.
He jumped up and narrowly dodged the attack, though his leg was a bit singed from the attack as he grit his teeth as he covered his sword in Holy Light and stabbed the scabbard with it.
His weapon met the veil of demonic energy surrounding the scabbard as it protected itself, but Armaros roared as he used more Holy Light and managed to pierce through the veil of demonic energy and strike the scabbard.
Only for him to hear a kind of shriek from the scabbard before he was launched backwards from the sheath as he stabbed the sword into the ground as he skid back from the force as he used the sword to anchor himself as he stopped and panted.
He looked at the sword as it is now glowing ominously as he gulped down some saliva as he looked at it as the bloodlust he felt increased as he felt afraid of the sheath as his legs were shaking.
'Goddamit! Stop shaking!' Armaros shouted to himself in his mind before he dashed from the place as a tendril hit and destroyed the place he was standing on.
He glanced at the unconscious child briefly as he jumped and ran on the wall with great speeds before he shot towards the scabbard as he created a lance of Holy Light and threw it at the scabbard while also making said lance spin.
The nature of the lance and the spinning helped it to go through the tendrils and clear a path for him as it also struck the veil of the scabbard and managed to damage it before the attack disappeared.
"This time I will take care of you!" Armaros shouted as he shot towards the scabbard.
But this time he created a Holy Light sphere in his left hand as he reached the scabbard and slammed the sphere on the veil as he spun it as he cracked the veil and destroyed it.
He roared as he further slammed the sphere on the scabbard as he screamed from the pain as he fed more Holy Light into the sphere as the scabbard shrieked loudly before the sphere exploded as the scabbard was encased in a explosion of Holy Light as he was launched back as he slammed into the wall as he made a small crater as he gasped as he slumped as he fell out of the crater and onto the floor as he panted.
'Ugh, didn't expect that... Wait...' Armaros thought to himself groggily before his mind remembered what happened as he raised his head, though his eyes widened when he saw that the scabbard was only floating in place now, though he can feel a faint demonic energy covering it.
He slowly got up as he groaned as he had to use a lot of Holy Light magic for that attack, which caused him to feel great pain as he sighed to himself as he looked at the scabbard as he observed it's current demeanor.
'It looks like it has become docile.' Armaros thought to himself as he stood back up.
He kept his eyes in the scabbard as he slowly made his way to the child, but then the scabbard sent demonic energy at him as he grit his teeth and made a shield of Holy Light as it blocked it.
Though there was one problem, as unlike before the scabbard decided that attacking him was a good idea, and since he was caught off guard, the scabbard broke through his shield as it used Demonic energy and pierced through his shield.
'Shit!?' Armaros thought in his mind as he tried to dodge.
But it failed as the scabbard hit his chest and entered it as he blinked in confusion as he looked at himself.
"What?" Armaros said in surprise as he looked at his chest.
He looked around the room and saw that aside from the scabbard, everything was where it was including the child and damaged room.
He pinched himself before his eyes widened as he touched his chest in shock.
"What the fuck!?" Armaros shouted in shock.
'Did that thing just go inside me!?' Armaros thought to himself in shock before he realised what he just thought.
"That was not right." Armaros said as he shook his head.
'Why the hell did that thing go inside of me?' Armaros thought to himself as he touched his chest and didn't feel anything different.
He sighed to himself before he started to use his Mana and felt his body, and he felt the scabbard inside of his body but to his confusion, it didn't have any drastic changes to him or any kind of attack to him when it was inside him.
'What the hell? Now it's not doing anything?' Armaros thought to himself in confusion.
He didn't know what was happening anymore as he looked at his chest and around the room, though there wasn't anything unique about it as it was only a simple room.
"Still, why is something like this here?" Armaros said in confusion before he looked at the child.
He looked at his chest and realising that nothing concerning is happening at the moment, he sighed and then went and picked up the child, wanting to just get out of this place as soon as he can as he jumped into the hole he had made with the child and climbed out back into the surface and used magic to fill the whole as he made sure that the ground was strong enough to hold anyone who might come there.
'I rather not have to deal with other asking questions about that place. Especially since I have a demonic scabbard which has decided to enter my body.' Armaros thought to himself as he walked with the child in his arms as he wanted to get out of the forest as fast as he could.
