Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: The Megalodon Sword

*Yuki is shown in the city center*

Yuki: *Think* This place is gigantic, it's even bigger than the capital of Grek

*In the background you can hear the blows between Yohei and Atlas*

Merchant: Come, come, we have the best quality weapons here

Yuki: *Looking at the swords* I could use a new sword, mine is close to breaking

*Yuki approaches and observes a sword that interests him*

Merchant: Young lady, you seem to have an eye for swords

Yuki: Thank you, sir

Trader: What kind of energy do you use?

Yuki: Water

Merchant: Look how good, I have a sword that would suit you a lot

*The merchant pulls out a bright blue and black sword*

Yuki: It's beautiful...

Merchant: This sword is made from a sapphire unique to this realm and obsidian extracted from underwater volcanoes

Yuki: How much would it cost?

Merchant: About 10 silver and 2 gold coins

Yuki: *Thinks* How expensive, but if that sword manages to adapt to me, it will be completely worth it

Unknown Hey, hey, Morgan it's not okay to want to scam people let alone our visitors. It seems that you have not lost your pirate ways

Morgan: I didn't expect to see you around here, Prince Diaprés

Diaprepes: I have to be, after all you're trying to scam my future student

Yuki: Me?

Diaprepes: I am sorry that I did not introduce myself earlier, my name is Diaprepes, the least of all the Atlantean princes

Yuki: The pleasure is mine, I am Yuki Tsuka, daughter of Aphrodite

Diaprepes: It's a pleasure. You seem to be having trouble choosing your next weapon. Want a little help?

Yuki: Yes, I need a new weapon that suits my power, my previous sword is close to being destroyed

Diaprepes: I see... Then I recommend that one

*Morgan is surprised by the prince's choice*

Morgan: Are you serious?

Diaprepes: Yes

Morgan: Do you sense the energy that emanates from this?

Diaprepes: Yes, that's right. It's a cursed weapon that can also be used with Lack energy. Need I know anything else?

Morgan: No...

Yuki: A cursed weapon?

Diaprepes: Yes, there are 5 ranges of weapons in the world: The normal ones, where almost all the common weapons are found, which have nothing special. The cursed ones: which are 20, which have a demon inside them. The elementals: which are 7, which exploit the elemental energies to the maximum. The deity: Which are 4, which are unique weapons and have no comparison with anything in the world. And finally; The lost: They are said to be weapons that belonged to the first creator gods, no one knows their whereabouts or their shape, but it is said that whoever carries both weapons will be the king of all races

Yuki: Incredible... I didn't know any of this

Morgan: Young lady, I don't recommend you carry this weapon, despite the immense power it can give you, the price to pay is very high. My fleet sank into the sea because of the madness this weapon generated among my men. If you want to continue having a normal life, I don't recommend it

Yuki: Thank you for your warnings, but, in this world, nothing is normal

Diaprepes: I pay for this sword, put it on my account

Morgan: Yes, sir.

*Diaprepes and Yuki are shown on a beach*

Yuki: *Think* What are we doing here?

Diaprepes: The first thing to be able to use your new weapon is to know to what extent you will be able to use its power

Yuki: What do you mean?

Diaprepes: Normally weapons that have a Lack spirit are difficult to tame, they decide how much of their power to give you, unless you are excessively powerful and force them to give you their power, so you must do a ritual to talk to him. So that's going to be your first step, to speak in that spirit. But I warn you, it will not be easy at all, much less being a demon

*Yuki sits near the shore and closes her eyes next to her sword*

*Yuki appears in a room full of water*

*A very sinister demon is shown*

Demon: Welcome

*The demon is shown with shark features*

Demon: So, a demigoddess. Not bad

Yuki: It seems like you're more aware of what's around you than I expected

Demon: I've been locked up here for hundreds of years, I've had many who have used my power and others who haven't been worth it. It is not difficult for me to differentiate between those who are worth and those who are not

Yuki: So, what do you think of me?

Demon: You're not worth it

*Yuki's surprised face is shown*

Yuki: Why? What is your criterion for saying it?

Demon: I have to admit that you have good potential. However, right now you would not endure almost any of my power. If I manage to give you a small part, you will most likely end up with very serious injuries

Yuki: Try me, I decide to take the risk

Demon: This is not about what you decide, I don't care about that. If you want my power, earn it. When you're worth it, come back

*Yuki falls very exhausted*

Diaprepes: It looks like you've failed in your mission. That just means something, you have to get stronger.

Yuki: Yes!

*Yuki begins to attack Diaprepes with his sword at high speed, but he dodges it without any problem*

Diaprepes: Your movements are very predictable, you are very slow

Yuki: Yes!

Diaprepes: Faster

*Diaprepes grabs the sword with ease and sends Yuki flying*

*Yuki sinks into the water*

Yuki: *Think frustrated* How is that possible? It's not strong, but it predicted all my attacks.

Yuki: Water Technique: Dark Megalodon

*Yuki's technique goes straight to Diaprepes*

*Diaprepes manages to stop the attack with his hand and returns it to Yuki*

Yuki: Damn it

*The attack hits Yuki leaving her without strength*

*Yuki is shown very exhausted floating on the sea*

Diaprepes: Are you okay?

Yuki: Yes... I just realized how weak I am

Diaprepes: Okay, don't worry. The important thing is that you don't give up, if you give up, I won't forgive you

Yuki: How tired...

*Yuki begins to sink into the sea*

Diaprepes: Hey, hey, resist. Hey.
